Figure 4From: The proprotein convertase PC5/6 is protective against intestinal tumorigenesis: in vivo mouse modelIntestinal tumor formation in WTMin and iKOMin mice. (A) Representative sections of WTMin and iKOMin ileum stained with methylene blue. Arrows point at visualized tumors. (B) Total tumor numbers and large tumor (> 2 mm) numbers in WTMin and iKOMin intestine of 4 month-old WTMin (n = 11) and iKOMin mice (n = 17). (C) Numbers of tumors per cm of duodenum, jejunum, ileum or colon in the above mice are shown. *, P < 0.05 (Student's t test)Back to article page
