Figure Lengend Snippet: a, Luciferase-labeled human H1975-OR cells transduced with LacZ shRNA or IFT88 shRNA were injected into the left thorax of SCID mice. Mice were imaged for luminescence, administered 5 mg/kg osimertinib on the indicated days, and re-imaged near the experimental endpoint. b, The growth of the tumor was monitored through luminescence, and the average luminescence intensity at each time point was plotted. Total luminescence intensity (photon count) was calculated using live imaging software. Error bars indicate SEM. ** P < 0.01, two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. c, (Top) Immunofluorescence was performed using a monoclonal Ki-67 antibody (green) and DAPI (blue) on cryo-sectioned lung tissues obtained from mice (n=3 per group) of the human lung tumor orthotopic model. Scale bar, 100 μm. (Bottom) H&E staining of serial sections of the related tissue. d, Immunofluorescence was performed using ARL13B (green) to mark cilia, ɣ-Tubulin (red) for centrioles, and DAPI (blue) for nuclei on cryo-sectioned lung tissues obtained from mice of the human lung tumor orthotopic model. Arrows indicate cilia. Scale bar, 10 μm. e, Quantification of d . Unpaired t-test.
Article Snippet: Frozen sections of the lung tissues harvested from the in vivo orthotopic lung cancer model were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde) and stained for cilia markers ARL13B (Proteintech, 1:200), ɣ-Tubulin (Sigma, 1:200), and proliferation marker Ki67 (CST, Cat no. 12202S, 1:200) 24 hours after sectioning.
