Fig. 6. Delivery of NIPP1-CD.

Fig. 6

a ID Salmonella delivery of NIPP1-CD caused more death (red, white arrows) in Hepa 1-6 cells compared to controls (P = 0.0021, n = 6). b In microfluidic tumor masses, delivery of NIPP1-CD caused more cell death (red) than bacterial controls. The percentage of dead cells increased with time as Salmonella invaded into cells and delivered protein (P = 0.042, 0.017, 0.014, 0.017, 0.024, 0.030, and 0.039 at 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, and 9.5 h, respectively, n = 4). c For multiple (n = 4) tumor masses, as shown in b, NIPP1-CD significantly increased cell death (P = 0.0177). d NIPP1-CD ID Salmonella was intravenously administered to BALB/c mice with subcutaneous 4T1 tumors. After 31 days, Salmonella (black arrow, green) and delivered NIPP1-CD (white arrows, red) were dispersed throughout the tissue. Data are shown as means ± SEM. Statistical comparisons in ac are two-tailed, unpaired Student’s t-tests with asterisks indicating significance (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01). Images in a, b, and d are representative of 6, 4, and 3 independent biological samples, respectively. Scale bars in a and b are 100 µm, and in d the scale bar is 10 µm.
