HepG2 cells were inoculated into 12-well plates containing sterile cell climbing tablets and then cultured in an incubator with SBP-2A for 48 h. According to the instructions provided with the BeyoClick™ EdU Cell Proliferation Kit with Alexa Fluor 594 (Beyotime, C0078S), an equal volume of EdU solution (20 μM) was added, and the cells were incubated for 2 h, followed by fixing with 4% paraformaldehyde. Then, 0.3% Triton X-100 was added at 200 μl/well for cell permeabilization (Solarbio, T8200), and the cells were placed in 1 × Apollo 567 reaction solution at room temperature for 30 min. Then, 2-(4-amidinophenyl)-6-indolecarbamidine dihydrochloride (DAPI, Beyotime, C1005) was used to counterstain the cells for 10 min. Finally, the images were captured by the DMI 6000B Leica microsystem in a live cell imager (Wetzlar, Germany), and the percentage of EdU-positive cells in each group and each well was randomly counted in five fields of view.

A total of 1×107 Caco-2 cells were implanted subcutaneously into the right flank of BALB/c mice. The PLGA NPs were fluorescence labeled with green DiO dye and divided into four equal groups. The four groups acted as PLGA NPs (P group), RBCm–PLGA NPs (RP group), RBCm–PLGA NPs with free anti-EGFR-iRGD proteins (iE + RP group), and RBCm–PLGA NPs modified with anti-EGFR-iRGD proteins (iE–RP group). The samples were injected to Caco-2 tumor-bearing nude mice via the tail vein. Tumor-bearing nude mice were sacrificed after 24 h, and subcutaneous tumors were collected. Immunofluorescence analysis was carried out with frozen tumor tissues. For immunostaining, slides were first blocked with 3% bull serum albumin (BSA) for 1 h at room temperature and then exposed to the primary antibody against CD31 (1:300 dilution; GeneTech, Shanghai, People’s Republic of China) at 4°C overnight and the second antibody (1:300 dilution) at 37°C for 30 min. Finally, nuclei were stained with 2-(4-amidinophenyl)-6-indolecarbamidine dihydrochloride (DAPI; Beyotime) and slides were visualized using CLSM.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
