: All animal procedures were approved by the Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University (Approval No.2024#gzm02871) and performed in strict compliance with: (i) China’s National Standard GB/T 35823–2018 Laboratory Animal-Guideline for Ethical Review, (ii) ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines and (iii) AVMA Guidelines for the Euthanasia of Animals: 2020 Edition. Animals were housed under specific pathogen-free (SPF) conditions with ad libitum access to food/water. Humane endpoints were enforced by immediate euthanasia via CO₂ asphyxiation (30% chamber volume/min displacement) followed by cervical dislocation when tumor volume exceeded 1000 mm3. All invasive procedures employed isoflurane anesthesia (3% in 100% O₂ at 1 L/min). Prohibited agents (chloral hydrate/ether/chloroform) were not used.
