Fig. 9

a, a’ Photographs of B16F10 (a) and 4T1 (a’) tumor-bearing mice after treatments with saline, Mn-DTA, PCP-Mn-DTA, GOx, 1-MT, PCP-Mn-DTA@1-MT, and PCP-Mn-DTA@GOx@1-MT for 0, 7, and 18 d, respectively. b, b’ Tumor volumes and (c, c’) survival rates of mice after various treatments. d, d’ Photographs of H&E staining, and (e, e’) quantitative analysis of the metastatic nodules from B16F10 and 4T1 metastatic lung tumor-bearing mice, respectively. f, f’ TUNEL, H&E, and Ki67 staining images for tumors. g Photoacoustic images of oxygenated hemoglobin (HBO2) and hemoglobin (HB), and (h) melanin signals in tumor sites in mice after intratumoral injection with GOx or PCP-Mn-DTA@GOx@1-MT for various time intervals, with images representative of 4 experiments. Scale bar: 100 µm for d, d’, f and f’. Data represent mean ± SD (n = 6 biologically independent samples). P-values were determined by unpaired Student’s t-test (two-tailed), **p < 0.01.
