Fig. 8From: Inhibiting autophagy potentiates the antitumor efficacy of Euphorbia royleana for canine mammary gland tumorsE. royleana inhibited the growth of xenograft cMGT. (a) Changes in mouse body weight. (b) X.H.E. inhibited the growth of tumor volumes in vivo. Euthanized CMT1-bearing nude mice after treatment with X.H.E. or vehicle-treated control group. Hematoxylin and eosin–stained tumor tissue slides were photographed. In the vehicle-treated group, (c) saline and (d) DMSO exhibited normal nuclear morphology characterized by diffuse chromatin structures. X.H.E-treated group exhibited (e) necrosis in tumor tissue (arrow) and (f) cell shrinkage, nuclear condensation, increased darkness, and fragmentation. (g) Quantification of necrotic area in tumors. *: p < 0.05; **: p < 0.01Back to article page
