A Representative HE staining figures in human and BALB/c mouse tissue sections. B Representative Masson staining figures in human and Renca BALB/c mouse tissue sections. C Representative IHC staining figures of α-SMA in human and BALB/c mouse tissue sections. D Representative IHC staining figures of Ki67 in human and BALB/c mouse tissue sections. Data are represented as mean ± SD (n = 3, Unpaired t test with Welch’s correction, *p < 0.05, ns = no significance). ART = adjacent renal tissues; PT = primary tumor; TT = tumor thrombus; TT + BT= tumor thrombus with bland thrombus; scale bars, 50 µm.
