Fig. 7From: Human bronchial carcinoid tumor initiating cells are targeted by the combination of acetazolamide and sulforaphaneSpheroids developed from H727 and H720 were orthotopically heterotransplanted into mice lungs and formed foci of dense tumor cells. a H&E histology of normal lung versus H727 3rd generation SP cells orthotopically xenografted in mouse lungs and tumors allowed to developed over days. Arrows point to tumor masses in lung parenchyma. b Lung xenografts analyzed after treatments with AZ, SFN and AZ + SFN in 40 mg/Kg were assessed for number of tumor cells per high-powered field. Below: H&E histology of tumor fields in these treated mice comparing untreated, AZ, SFN and AZ + SFN treatments. c A similar experiment as in A&B was performed for H720 3rd generation SP cells orthotopically xenografted into mouse lung. c histology; d number of tumor cells per high powered field; Below: H&E histology on H720 3rd generation SP generated orthotopic tumors comparing control with AZ, SFN and AZ + SFN treatmentsBack to article page
