Fig. 3. Preparation and characterization of hPSC CAR-neutrophils loaded with tirapazamine (TPZ)-containing SiO2 nanoparticles.

Fig. 3

ae Transmission electron microscope (TEM) (a) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) elemental mapping images (b) of rough SiO2 nanoparticles are shown. c Nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm of rough SiO2 nanoparticles along with Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) pore size distribution plot is shown. Biological triplicates were performed independently. TPZ loading content in SiO2 nanoparticles (d) and glutathione (GSH)-responsive TPZ release (e) were measured at the indicated time. n = 3 biologically independent samples. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for (e). Fluorescence images (f) and flow cytometry analysis (g) of neutrophils loaded with smooth and rough SiO2-TPZ. Biological triplicates were performed independently. h Cellular SiO2 content in hPSC-derived CAR-neutrophils was measured. n = 5 biologically independent samples, two-tailed Student’s t test. Cellular viability (i), n = 3 biologically independent samples, transmigration (j), n = 5 biologically independent samples, chemoattraction abilities (k, l), n = 20 biologically independent samples, and ROS generation ability (m) of hPSC-derived CAR-neutrophils loaded with or without rough SiO2-TPZ were shown, n = 5 biologically independent samples, two-tailed Student’s t test.
