Targeted delivery and
immune evasion performance of PM&EM/JQ1
NPs. (a) After 4h incubation with in vitro collagen, the ability of
collagen to adhere to DiI NPs, PM&EM/JQ1 NPs, gray is collagen,
red is encapsulated DiI fluorescent molecules, scale bar = 10 μm.
(b) Fibroblasts and their collagen production stimulated by angiotensin
II, green for type I collagen, blue for nuclei; scale bar = 20 μm.
(c) After 4 h incubation of activated fibroblasts (stimulated with
angiotensin II), cell adhesion, uptake of DiI nanoparticles, PM&EM/JQ1
NPs scale bar = 25 μm. (d) FC analysis of activated fibroblasts
after 4 h incubation of DiI NPs, PM&EM/JQ1 NPs, and DiI-positive
fibroblasts as a percentage of total fibroblasts (mean ± SD, n = 4 independent experiments). (e) RAW 264.7 cells were
coincubated with DiI NPs and PM&EM/JQ1 NPs nanoparticles for 4
h and then subjected to laser confocal analysis, blue for nuclei,
green for lysosomes, red for encapsulated DiI fluorescent molecules,
scale bar = 25 μm. (f) DiI-positive macrophages as a percentage
of total macrophages after coincubation with DiI-labeled nanoparticles
for 4 h (mean ± SD, n = 3 independent experiments).
***p < 0.001, one-way ANOVA, Tukey’s multiple
comparison test.
