A xenograft tumor biopsy was examined using antibodies to Ki-67 (ab15580, 1/100, Abcam) and SLC7A11 (DF12509, 1/100, Affinity) as described in our previous studies [27 (link), 28 (link)]. The staining outcomes were measured utilizing Image-Pro Plus 6.0 (Media Cybernetics, USA) and presented as the proportion of cells exhibiting positivity (for Ki-67) or the average intensity (for SLC7A11). Cell apoptosis in xenograft tumor tissues was detected using the CF488 (Green) Tunel Cell Apoptosis Detection Kit (Servicebio, Wuhan, China) following the guidelines provided by the manufacturer.
