Figure Lengend Snippet: Combination therapy suppresses tumor cell-derived VEGF and galectin-3 in tumor tissues. (A) Membranes-based antibody arrays were reacted with tumor tissue homogenates from the control group, bevacizumab group, capecitabine group, and combination group on day 50. (B) Levels of free VEGF in the tumor tissues (n=7). (C) Levels of galectin-1 and galectin-3 in the tumor tissues (n=7). The control group (open), bevacizumab group (horizontal striped), capecitabine group (hatched), and combination group (closed). Columns show mean ± SD. a P<0.05 versus control by Wilcoxon test. (D) Downregulation of galectin-3 expression by 5-FU in in vitro culture. Culture supernatant was collected and subjected to ELISA (n=3). Columns show mean ± SD. a P<0.05 versus control by Dunnett's test.
Article Snippet: HT-29 tumor tissues collected on day 50 from the bevacizumab PD model were homogenized with cell lysis buffer (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) with protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (Nacalai Tesque, Kyoto, Japan).
