Figure Lengend Snippet: a Schematic illustration of RT+MnBTC-Ru treatment. b Average tumor growth curves, c individual tumor growth kinetics, d tumor weight, and e body weight of CT26 tumor-bearing mice after different treatments ( n = 5 biologically independent mice per group). f Representative H&E and fluorescent staining images (TUNEL assay, γ-H2AX and Ki67 staining) from tumor tissue section (scale bar = 100 μm). g Representative H&E-stained images from major organ tissue section (scale bar = 100 μm). h Results of blood chemistry parameters from mice after different treatments ( n = 3 independent replicates). Blood chemistry parameters include white blood cell (WBC), red blood cell (RBC), platelet count (PLT), hemoglobin (HGB), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatinine (CREA), albumin (ALB), and Creatine Kinase (CK). i Representative flow cytometric analysis and relative quantification of CD3 + T cells, CD8 + T cells, and CD8 + CD69 + T cells ( n = 3 independent replicates). In ( b – i ), the Control group indicates saline. Experiments were repeated independently ( f, g ) three times with similar results. Ki67 indicates Marker of Proliferation Ki67, γ-H2AX indicates phosphorylated histone H2A.X at Ser139, SSC-A indicates Side Scatter Area, BUV395 indicates Brilliant Ultraviolet 395, BUV661 indicates Brilliant Ultraviolet 661, BV771 indicates Brilliant Violet 771, PE-Cy7 indicates Phycoerythrin–Cyanine 7. Results are presented as means ± SD. Statistical significance was determined using the one-way ANOVA for multiple-group comparisons, followed by Tukey’s two-tailed post-hoc test for pairwise analysis, all tests were two-sided. Source data are provided as a file.
Article Snippet: The CT26 cell line (Cat CRL-2639) was sourced from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and verified for authenticity through short tandem repeat analysis.
