Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Flowchart of tissue distribution of RDN in C57BL/6 mice detected by mass spectrometry imaging. ( B ) Representative mass spectrometry image of the distribution of RDN in the tissue at 12 and 24 hours after RDN (20 mg/kg) was injected into the tail vein. The red-green-blue (RGB) image was generated by “MIRION,” which was converted from the original file after setting a unified threshold. ( C ) Flowchart of pharmacodynamic study of RDN combined with anti–CTLA-4 in the lung of C57BL/6 mice to construct an in-situ model of lung cancer. C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the model group, RDN (10 mg/kg), RDN (10 mg/kg) combined with the anti–CTLA-4 group (100 μg), and the anti–CTLA-4 group (100 μg). Each group consisted of 14 mice, 6 for pharmacodynamic evaluation and 8 for survival analysis. ( D ) Analyzed fluorescence signals using an in vivo imaging instrument (PerkinElmer) in mice levels ( n = 6). ( E ) Survival analysis of mice in each group ( n = 8). ( F ) Anatomical map of lung tissue of each group of mice ( n = 5). ( G ) Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining of lung tissue of each group of mice. Scale bars, 200 μm. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining displays Ki67 expression of lung tissue of each group. Scale bars, 20 μm. ( n = 6). ( H ) IHC staining displays CD4, CD8, FOXP3, GzmB, and PD-L1 expressions of lung tissue from each group. Representative images of six biologically independent samples. Scale bar, 200 μm. ( I ) Quantitative results of IHC staining for CD4, CD8, Foxp3, Ki67, GzmB, and PD-L1 (relative to placebo). Data are means ± SD, n = 3. Statistical significance was determined by a two-sided, unpaired t test. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, and *** P < 0.001.
