After sacrifice, mammary tumor and lung tissues were analyzed by hematoxylin and eosin (H & E) staining. In the Balb/c xenograft model, 4T1 cells (1×104 in 100 μL, PBS) were transplanted into the left thoracic mammary fat pads of 10-weeks-old female Balb/c mice, and mice were randomized into two group (n=6 per groups). Ten days after transplantation, tumor-bearing Balb/c mice were administered either saline (vehicle) or example 60 (40 mg/kg, in 100 μL saline) by intraperitoneal injection every other day for 2.5 weeks. The tumor size was measured using calipers, and metastastic nodules on the left lobe surface of lungs were visualized by india ink injection into the trachea and counted.
