Pretreatment of epithelial mitochondria into gastric cancer cells suppressed tumor growth in a mouse tumor xenograft model. (A) Experimental design and flowchart of the mouse xenograft model and mitochondrial treatment. AGS cells were pretreated with GES-1 mitochondria for 24 h before injection. (B) Schematic of the gastric cancer xenografts in each group. (C) Body weights of mice in each group. (D) Tumor growth curves of each group. (E) Gastric tumors harvested from each group. (F) Representative images of hematoxylin and eosin and IHC staining of Ki-67 and GRP78 in each group. (G). Representative IHC analysis of ki-67 staining in each group. (H) Representative IHC analysis of GRP78 in each group. The data are presented as the means ± SEMs; n ≥ 3 for independent experiments; two-tailed Student’s t test: **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.005
