Figure Lengend Snippet: A, Tumor growth of mice treated with oxaliplatin. Mice-bearing tumors generated from WiDr or WiDr/UGCG - cells were treated with vehicle, oxaliplatin (Oxa 2 mg/kg, i.p , once every 6 days) and combination (Oxa 2 mg/kg, i.p, once every 6 days and Genz-161 4 mg/kg, i.p, once every 3 days) for 37 days. *, p <0.01 compared with WiDr tumors treated with vehicle or Oxa. B, Tumor growth of mice treated with irenotecan. Mice-bearing tumors generated from WiDr cells were treated with vehicle, irenotecan (IRI 6 mg/kg, i.p , once every 6 days) and combination (IRI 6 mg/kg i.p , once every 6 days and Genz-161 4 mg/kg, i.p, once every 3 days) for 30 days. *, p <0.01 compared with tumors treated with vehicle; **, p<0.01 compared with tumors treated with IRI. C, H&E and immunofluorescence staining of tumors. Tumor sections were stained with H&E or fluorescent antibodies for CSC markers (CD44v6/CD133). Green, Alexa Fluor 448−CD44v6; red, APC-CD133; blue, DAPI nuclear counterstain. Images were magnified 200x, scale bar represents to 50 μm. D, GCS mRNA levels of tumors. *, p <0.01 compared with WiDr-tumors treated with vehicle or oxaliplatin. E, Tumor stem cell clusters in snRNA. Tumor-bearing mice were treated with Oxa (2 mg/kg, i.p, once every 6 days) for 37 days. *, p <0.001 compared with WiDr tumors treated with Oxa.
Article Snippet: After treatments, suspended cells (10 6 cells/ml) were incubated with human CD44v6 Alexa Fluor ® 488-conjugated antibody (2F10; mouse IgG1; from R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) and human CD133 APC-conjugated antibody (170411; mouse IgG2b; from R&D Systems) in 1% BSA-containing PBS at 4°C for 45 min. After washing, cells were resuspended in 1% BSA PBS (5 x 10 5 cells/150 μL) and analysed using an Amnis Imagestream Mark II Imagestream software, and the data were further analysed using the IDEAS v6.2 program.
