Phellinus Linteus Extract Sensitizes Advanced Prostate Cancer Cells to Apoptosis in Athymic Nude Mice

Attenuation of the tumors formed by the inoculation of DU145 or PC3 cells into nude mice after the treatment with PL.
A. DU145 or PC3 cells were inoculated subcutaneously into nude mice. Twelve days later, the photos of the mice bearing the inoculated tumors were taken (upper panel). The tumors were isolated from PL treated or control mice. The slides mounted with the tumor tissues were prepared and stained with HE dye (lower panel). B and C. A group of 6 mice were injected with PL (30 mg/kg) in water from day 0 and subsequently administrated every 2 days. Another group of 3 was as the controls. One week later when the inoculated tumor started to form, the sizes of the tumors were measured every 4 days.
