Animal characterization studies, glycogen content and serum biochemistry were analyzed by unpaired t-tests using the GraphPad Prism Program, version 7 (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, CA, USA). For gene expression studies, the normality of the mRNA expression data was first examined. As some gene expression data deviate from normality, Wilcoxon Rank Sum Tests were performed, using SAS version 9.4 (SAS, Inc., Cary, NC, USA) to validate initial analyses by unpaired t-tests using GraphPad Prism Program, version 7 (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, CA, USA). All tests were two-sided and values of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. For metabolic studies, relative change in glucose levels (to baseline) was plotted using GraphPad Prism Program, version 7 (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, CA, USA).

Statistical Analysis of Experimental Data

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Statistical analysis was performed using the GraphPad Prism Program version 5.02. Due to the small sample size, normality of the data was checked through the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test that employs a Dallal and Wilkinson approximation to the Lilliefors' method. Equality of variance of the samples was verified using the Bartlett's test. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used if the data were found to be normally distributed and homogeneous. The Bonferroni's multiple comparison post hoc test was then used to compare differences between sample dates. However, if the data did not meet the requirements for normal distribution, the Kruskal-Wallis (KW) one-way ANOVA on ranks was performed to compensate, and the Dunn's post hoc test was employed to compare differences between sample dates. If significant differences in variance based on the Bartlett's test were found, the data was log transformed and a one-way ANOVA was performed. If the Bartlett's test on the transformed data was significant, the variances were considered unequal and a KW ANOVA was performed; otherwise, the one-way ANOVA was reported. If an ANOVA was performed, the p value of the original Bartlett's test was still reported and the variance described. Statistical significance was defined as p ≤ 0.05.

Statistical analysis of activation assay samples was performed using one-way ANOVA Friedman test with Dunn post-test (Prism Program; Graphpad software, La Jolla, USA). In the graphs p values are indicated as follows: * p<0.05; ** p<0.01; *** p<0.0001; n.s. not significant (p>0.05). For statistical analysis of experiments with only two groups, the Wilcoxon signed ranks test was used for paired samples whereas the Mann-Whitney U test was used for unpaired samples. To determine correlations between cytokine levels in ascites and suppression, the distribution of variables was assessed by D’Agostino and Pearson omnibus normality test. Where cytokine levels in ascites samples were distributed normally, correlation to suppression was assessed by calculating the Pearson coefficient using Prism Software. For cytokine levels lacking normal distribution across ascites samples, the Spearman coefficient was calculated instead.

Cytotoxicity was determined using MTT and colony formation assays as previously described (2 (link),16 (link)). MTT assay was used to determine cytotoxicity of anticancer drugs. Briefly, cells were seeded in 96-well plate at 3000 cells/well and cultured for 24 hrs followed by treatment with anticancer drugs and cultured continuously for 72 hrs at 37°C. Then, MTT (5 mg/mL) was added to the culture and incubated for another 4 hrs. The culture medium was then aspirated followed by addition of DMSO and absorption was determined using a 96-well plate reader. For colony formation assay, 100–200 cells/well were seeded in 6-well plate and cultured for 24 hrs before IR treatment. The cells were then cultured for 10 days before fixation and staining with crystal violent (0.005% in 20% methanol). The colonies were counted manually. Both the fitted sigmoidal dose response curve and IC50 were calculated using Graph Pad Prism Program.

Primary HRMECs were seeded in six-well plates (5 × 104 cells/well), incubated in complete classic medium with supplements included in the media kit (Cell Systems) for 3 days, and then subjected to serum starvation using complete serum-free medium (CSFM) for 6 hours. Thereafter, a straight scratch was made across the layer of cultured cells using a 200-µL micropipette tip. The cells were treated with ranibizumab, aflibercept, or IDB0062 in the presence or absence of VEGFA (50 ng/mL), VEGFB (50 ng/mL), or PlGF2 (100 ng/mL) in CSFM and incubated (37°C, 5% CO2). Images of the cells were acquired using an Eclipse TE2000-U inverted fluorescence microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) at 0 hour and at the final time point (15.5–16.5 hours). The wound area was quantitated using the MRI Wound Healing Tool of ImageJ (v1.4.3.67; National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MA). Half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) was calculated using the Prism program (GraphPad, San Diego, CA).

Categorical variables were reported as counts and percentages; continuous variables were reported as medians and interquartile ranges (IQR). Comparisons were made using the chi-square test for categorical variables and an independent t-test for continuous variables. Kaplan–Meier survival analyses were applied for depicting OS. Inversed probability of treatment weighing-adjusted Cox proportional hazards model was performed to determine the association between various factors and OS. The optimal cutoff values for PSA nadir and TTN were calculated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. All statistical analyses were performed using commercial statistical software SPSS (version 25.0; IBM Corp, SPSS, Inc, Chicago, IL, USA). Summary statistics were presented with Excel (Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019) and PRISM program (GraphPad, V8.0.1).

Filtered, single-cell suspensions of monolayer and sphere cells were generated as described above for the side population assay. Cell viability was determined using the colorimetric Cell Titer 96® Aqueous Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay (MTS assay, Promega, Madison, WI, USA) to measure cellular responses to different cytotoxic drug conditions. Each condition was performed in triplicate using 10 000 cells per well in 100 μL of culture medium. Cells were exposed to increasing concentrations of paclitaxel (TEVA Pharmaceuticals, North Wales, PA, USA) or doxorubicin (Bedford Laboratories, Bedford, OH, USA) for 72 h in 37 °C, 5% CO2. MTS reagent was added at a ratio of 1:10 and incubated for additional 1–2 h. Absorbance (A490) was measured using a Wallac Victor2 1420 Multilabel Counter (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA, USA). Cell viability was expressed as the percentage of the A490 of drug-treated cells relative to untreated cells according to the following equation: % Viability = 100 × (A490 drug-treated/A490 untreated). The IC50 for each drug was determined by fitting the relative viability of the cells to the drug concentration by using a dose–response model in the Prism program from GraphPad Software (San Diego, CA, USA).
