Figure Lengend Snippet: CircRNA vaccine synergistically boosted the anti-tumor activity of in vivo panCAR (A) Schematic illustration of circRNA VAC design. EPM, the endocytosis prevention motif; EABR, the ESCRT- and ALIX-binding region domain. (B) Flow cytometric analysis detecting the translation of circRNA HER2 in HEK293T cells ( n = 3). (C) Electron microscopy showing the vesicles secreted by HEK293T cells transfected with circRNA HER2-EPM-EABR . (D) Measurement of the endpoint titer of HER2-specific IgG with ELISA. (E) Schematic illustration of 4T1-HER2 tumor-bearing mice receiving PBS (intravenously), circRNA CAR (intravenously), circRNA VAC (intramuscularly), or circRNA CAR (intravenously) plus circRNA VAC (intramuscularly) combined therapy ( n = 5). (F) Tumor growth curves of overall mice treated as indicated in (E). (G) Tumor growth curves of individual mouse treated as indicated in (E). (H) Schematic illustration of B16F10-HER2 tumor-bearing mice receiving PBS (intravenously), circRNA CAR (intravenously), circRNA VAC (intramuscularly), or circRNA CAR (intravenously) plus circRNA VAC (intramuscularly) combined therapy ( n = 5). (I) Tumor growth curves of overall mice treated as indicated in (H). (J) Tumor growth curves of individual mouse treated as indicated in (H). (K) Survival curves of B16F10-HER2 tumor-bearing mice treated as indicated in (H). In (B), data were represented as the mean ± SEM; an unpaired two-sided Student’s t test was performed for comparison. In (D), data were represented as the geometric mean ± geometric SD; an unpaired two-sided Student’s t test was performed for comparison. In (F) and (I), data were represented as the mean ± SEM, and the tumor growth curves were calculated by two-way ANOVA analysis. In (K), the survival curves were calculated by Kaplan-Meier simple survival analysis. ∗ p < 0.05; ∗∗ p < 0.01; ∗∗∗ p < 0.001; ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001; ns, not significant. See also ; .
Article Snippet: The 96-well plates (Corning, #9018) were coated with recombinant human HER2 protein (MCE, #HY- P70254 ) diluted in coating solution (Bioss, #C04-01001) at 4°C overnight.
