a Rate of xenograft tumor growth. Individual tumor volumes from each mouse from each group were averaged and plotted against the number days postinoculation. Statistical significance was determined by two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Sidak’s posttest; ** p < 0.001, * p < 0.05. (i) E-cadherin overexpression group. (ii) E-cadherin knockdown group. b The tumor/necrosis ratio. (i) Hematoxylin and eosin staining of xenograft tumors, low magnification. N Necrotic area. Blood vessels are indicated by red arrowhead. Scale bar = 50 μm. (ii) Percentage of viable tumor tissue/remaining tumor mass. Statistical significance was determined by one-way ANOVA; *** p < 0.001
