Table 1 Engraftment rate and metastatic incidence of the control and genistein groups

From: Overexpression of cytoplasmic β-catenin inhibits the metastasis of the murine osteosarcoma cell line LM8

	Engraftment rate	Metastatic incidence
		Lung	Liver
Nude mice
Control group	8/8 (100%)	8/8 (100%)*	7/8 (87.5%)*
Genistein group	7/8 (87.5%)	0/7 (0%)*	1/7 (14.3%)*
C3H mice
Control group	7/7 (100%)	7/7 (100%)^§	4/7 (57.1%)^§
Genistein group	0/7 (0%)	0/7 (0%)^§	0/7 (0%)^§

*The sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded lungs and livers were stained with H&E, and metastatic tumors were microscopically confirmed.
^§Multiple metastatic nodules at the surface of lungs and livers were macroscopically confirmed using a magnifying glass.
