Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 1. Isolation of lung cancer xenograft-derived ECs. LLC xenografts were resected from mice injected subcutaneously at the dorsal flank with LLC cells (36106 suspended in 50 mL PBS) for 30 days. After removing obvious necrotic tissues or extra fatty compositions, the minced tissues were ground on ice using a glass grinder and were then filtered through cell strainers to eliminate tissue debris. (A) The CD31-expressing lung cancer- derived ECs were isolated from the single-cell suspension by immunomagnetic sorting, as evidenced by scanning microscopy, and cultured in vitro. (B) CD31 was detected in the isolated lung cancer-derived ECs using immunofluorescence. CD31 antibody staining of the lung cancer-derived EC membranes is shown in red, and nuclear DAPI staining is shown in blue. (C) Total protein was isolated from enriched lung cancer-derived ECs, bEnd.3 cells (positive control), and MLE-12 (negative control) cells. Western blot analysis was performed using antibodies against eNOS and E-cadherin, and b-actin was used as the internal control. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0045331.g001

Article Snippet: The lung cancer-derived ECs were eluted, and CD31 expression was detected using a CD31 monoclonal antibody (Cell Signaling Technology, USA) and staining with NorthernLights 557-conjugated anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody.

Matrigel plugs were subcutaneously injected into the abdomens of control or SIRT1-transgenic mice, and the plugs were extracted 7 days later to determine the extent of vascularization. The amount of hemoglobin present in the plugs was quantified as an indicator of the formation of functional blood vessels (mean 6 SD; n = 10 for each group). * P,0.05 as compared to the control. (B) Changes in the median tumor volumes measured in wild-type (control) C57BL/6J, SIRT1, or SIRT1 (H363Y) mice following inoculation with LLC cells for the indicated time period. * P,0.05 as compared to the SIRT1 mice. (C) Photomicrographs of CD31 IHC staining in sections of LLC xenografts (magnification, 6200) from wild-type, SIRT1 or SIRT1(H363Y) mice. When the xenograft tumor volumes reached approximately 100 mm3, the mice were randomly assigned to the control arm (n = 8) or the experimental arm
