Peritoneal macrophages (3 × 105) from 7-day LMM3 tumor-bearing mice (TMps) stimulated with carbachol (CARB; 100 nM) in the absence or presence of Nω-hydroxy-L-arginine (NOHA; 100 μM), indomethacin (INDO; 1 μM) or NS-398 (10 μM) were inoculated intradermally into normal mice to evaluate the angiogenic response. *P < 0.001 compared with control (without treatment) (Mann–Whitney test). n, number of sites evaluated. Results are means ± SEM for three experiments. |
