Figure Lengend Snippet: Validation of decreased M2-like macrophages following PAZ@Fe-MOF treatment. ( A ) Representative immunostaining images of Mrc1 and Cd163 on mice specimens. Scale bars are indicated. ( B ) Protein levels of Mrc1 and Cd163 were quantified in mice specimens with different treatment. ( C-D ) Flow cytometry indicated the effects of PAZ@Fe-MOF on the tumor-infiltrating Cd163 + Mrc1 + cells. ( E-F ) Infiltration of M2-like macrophages in human breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 treated with the indicated conditions. ( G ) PAZ@Fe-MOF-RhB nanoagents could be absorbed by IL-4-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. ( H-I ) The mean fluorescence intensity was quantified. ( J ) ER was labeled by the ER-tracker. In IL-4-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, the co-localization of PAZ@Fe-MOF with ER were observed with confocal microscopy. *: p -value < 0.05, **: p -value < 0.01
