Hyperglycemia Promotes K-Ras-Induced Lung Tumorigenesis through BASCs Amplification

Figure 5

Analysis of BASCs expansion.

A. Immunohistochemical analysis of CC10 and SP-C in terminal bronchioles of STZ-K-Ras^V12 (i, ii) and untreated-K-Ras^V12 (iii, iv) mice. Magnification 200×. Calibration bar: 50 µm. B. Bar graph indicates percentage of terminal bronchioles with 1 or more BASCs at early and late time (STZ-K-Ras^V12 vs STZ-WT: *p<0,01 by X² test).
