Figure Lengend Snippet: Amiodarone reduces bladder cancer tumor growth in vivo . Tumor growth in BFTC905-bearing NOD/SCID mice treated with 75 mg/kg of amiodarone. A, Tumor volume over time in control ( n = 6) and amiodarone-treated ( n = 6) tumor-bearing animals during a 3-week cycle treatment. Data represent mean ± SEM (Student t test; **, P < 0.01). B, Body weight of control and amiodarone-treated animals after 27 days of the experiment. Data represent mean ± SEM (Student t test; ****, P < 0.0001). C, Histologic analysis of liver, kidney, and heart sections derived from control and amiodarone-treated animals. Representative hematoxylin and eosin images are shown. D, Heatmap of the top 20 upregulated and top 20 downregulated genes identified by RNA-seq expression analysis of xenograft tumor samples. E, Top 10 significantly deregulated pathways identified by the RNA-seq analysis. F, Gene set enrichment analysis barcode plots for the top five significantly deregulated pathways. G, Heatmap showing the expression of the apoptosis-inducing ligand TNFSF10 and mitochondrially encoded genes of the electron transport chain. H, Dot plot representing the apoptosis gene set activity score derived from RNA-seq gene expression data. FC, fold change.
