Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of eribulin-LF + anti–PD-1 Ab on MVD and TILs. A, Scheme of tumor sampling. When the average TV reached 60 to 120 mm 3 , immunocompetent BALB/c mice bearing 4T1#31 tumors were treated with 0.3 mg/kg eribulin or eribulin-LF + anti–PD-1 Ab (200 μg/mouse) or each monotherapy on day 1 (only 1 injection; intravenously). Tumors were collected on day 8 or day 11 from each mouse and used for the following analyses. FCM, flow cytometry. B and C, Eribulin-LF has superior vascular remodeling activity compared with eribulin. Mice bearing 4T1#31 tumors were treated with 0.3 mg/kg eribulin (Eri; intravenously) or eribulin-LF (Eri-LF; intravenously). Tumors were collected on day 11, and IHC analysis was performed. B, Representative IHC images showing CD31 staining. Bar, 100 μm. C, MVD in whole tumor tissues was quantified ( n = 7–8 per group). Data are presented as mean ± SEM. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; and ****, P < 0.0001 by one-way ANOVA with Tukey multiple-comparisons test. D and E, Eribulin-LF has vascular remodeling activity. Mice bearing 4T1#31 tumors were treated with 0.3 mg/kg eribulin-LF (Eri-LF; intravenously) + anti–PD-1 Ab (200 μg/mouse; intravenously) or each monotherapy. Tumors were collected on day 11, and IHC analysis was performed. D, Representative IHC images showing CD31 staining. Bar, 100 μm. E, MVD in whole tumor tissue was quantified ( n = 8 per group). Data are presented as mean ± SEM. *, P < 0.05 and ***, P < 0.001 by one-way ANOVA with Dunnett multiple-comparisons test. F, Flow cytometric analysis of TILs in 4T1#31 tumors. Mice bearing 4T1#31 tumors were treated with 0.3 mg/kg eribulin (Eri; intravenously) or eribulin-LF (Eri-LF; intravenously). Tumors were collected on day 11, and TILs from dissociated tumor tissue cells were analyzed by flow cytometric analysis ( n = 8 per group). T cells, CD4 + T cells, CD8 + T cells, and NK cells were gated as CD3 + CD11b − cells, CD4 + CD3 + CD11b − cells, CD8 + CD3 + CD11b − cells, and CD49b + CD3 − cells, respectively. Data are shown as box plots with Tukey-style whiskers. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; and ****, P < 0.0001 by one-way ANOVA with Tukey multiple-comparisons test. G, Flow cytometric analysis of TILs in 4T1#31 tumors. Mice bearing 4T1#31 tumors were treated with 0.3 mg/kg eribulin-LF (Eri-LF; intravenously) + anti–PD-1 Ab (200 μg/mouse; intravenously) or each monotherapy. Tumors were collected on day 11, and flow cytometric analysis of TILs was performed ( n = 11–12 per group). T cells, CD4 + T cells, CD8 + T cells, and NK cells were gated as CD3 + CD11b − cells, CD4 + CD3 + CD11b − cells, CD8 + CD3 + CD11b − cells, and CD49b + CD3 − cells, respectively. GzmB + CD8 + T cells were gated as GzmB + cells in CD8 + T cells. GzmB + NK cells were gated as GzmB + NKp46 + CD49b + cells. Data are shown as box plots with Tukey-style whiskers. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; and ****, P < 0.0001 by one-way ANOVA with Dunnett multiple-comparisons test. H and I, Eribulin-LF increased infiltration of CD8 + cells. Mice bearing 4T1#31 tumors were treated with 0.3 mg/kg eribulin-LF (Eri-LF; intravenously) + anti–PD-1 Ab (200 μg/mouse; intravenously) or each monotherapy. Tumors were collected on day 11 and IHC analysis was performed. H, Representative IHC images showing CD8 staining. Bar, 100 μm. I, CD8 + cell count per unit area of whole tumor tissues was quantified ( n = 8 per group). Data are presented as mean ± SEM. **, P < 0.01 and ***, P < 0.001 by one-way ANOVA with Dunnett multiple-comparisons test.
