Figure Lengend Snippet: In vivo tumour homogenate and serum sex steroid hormones, angiogenic growth factors and IL-8 concentrations in IPC-366- and SUM149 xenotransplanted mice after inoculation of the high dosage of VEGF (1 mg/kg), SU5416 (10 mg/kg), bevacizumab (10 mg/kg) and celecoxib treatment (5 mg/kg). Bar represents means ± SEM. * Significant differences between control and treatment groups ( p < 0.05). ( A ) Serum P4 levels were no altered but its intratumoral concentrations decreased after SU5416 and celecoxib. ( B ) Serum DHEA levels decreased after VEGF, SU5416 and celecoxib and no changes in its intratumoral concentrations were found after all treatments. ( C ) Serum and intratumoral A4 levels decreased after VEGF, bevacizumab and celecoxib. ( D ) Serum T levels decreased after SU5416 and celecoxib, but tumour homogenate levels were higher after all treatments. ( E ) Both serum and intratumoral DHT levels decreased after SU5416 and bevacizumab. ( F ) VEGF and SU5416 inoculation diminished circulating E1SO4 levels but augmented its intratumoral concentrations. ( G ) Serum E2 levels decreased after VEGF but augmented after SU5416, however, tumour homogenate concentrations were higher after VEGF but decreased after bevacizumab and celecoxib ( H ) Circulating and intratumoral VEGF-A levels augmented after VEGF inoculation, but these concentrations decreased only after bevacizumab. ( I ) VEGF and SU5416 treatments decreased circulating VEGF-C levels and celecoxib augmented them, however, only VEGF and SU5416 decreased intratumoral concentrations. ( J ) Only serum VEGF-D levels were augmented after VEGF and SU5416 treatments. ( K ) Serum IL-8 levels decreased after the inoculation of SU5416, bevacizumab and celecoxib, whereas its tumour levels decreased after VEGF and SU5416 but augmented after celecoxib.
Article Snippet: The SUM149 triple-negative human IBC cell line was originally obtained from Asterand, Plc. (Detroit, MI, USA) and was grown in Ham’s F-12 medium (Invitrogen, 21765029) supplemented with 5% FBS (Sigma Aldrich, 12103C), 1 ug/mL hydrocortisone (Sigma Aldrich, H4001), 5 ug/mL insulin (Sigma Aldrich, I9278) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin solution (Sigma Aldrich, P0781).
