ND-DOX-loaded platelets infiltrated in tumor tissue and were activated to discharge Nano-DOX. (A) Graft tumors of Lewis lung cancer cells (LLC) that had received empty platelets or ND-DOX-loaded platelets displayed increased expression of markers of platelets (CD42b, CD41) and platelet activation (CD62p). (B) Ex vivo graft tumors that had received ND-DOX-loaded platelets exhibited pronounced DOX-derived fluorescence. (C) Fluorescent microscopy revealed extensive distribution of DOX-derived fluorescence in the tissue of graft tumors that had received ND-DOX-loaded platelets. Plt@ND-DOX refers to platelets loaded with ND-DOX; Plt@DOX refers to platelets loaded with DOX.
