The animal experiment was performed with 8-week-old male NMRI-Foxn1nu/Foxn1nu mice (Janvier Labs, St. Berthevin, France) at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf according to the guidelines of German Regulations of Animal Welfare and was approved by the local authorities (Landesdirektion Dresden, 24–9165.40–4, 24.9168.21–4/2004–1). Luciferase-expressing PC3-PSCA cells (1 x 106) were injected s.c. into the right flank of experimental mice either alone or in the presence of 10 µg αPSCA TM and 1 × 106 UniCAR BB/ζ- or UniCAR 28/ζ-armed Tconvs. To investigate responsiveness to Treg suppression, 1 × 106 UniCAR BB/ζ-endowed Tregs were additionally added in two groups of mice. As reference value bioluminescence signal was determined 2 h after cell injection. For that purpose, mice were narcotized as described elsewhere.19 Next, 200 µl D-luciferin potassium salt (15 mg/ml) (ThermoFisher Scientific) was inoculated i.p. and the bioluminescence signal was measured by using an In-Vivo-Xtreme imaging system 10–15 min later (exposure time of 60 s, Bruker, Germany). Tumor burden was assessed over 19 days. Resulting data were quantified as previously published23 by using Bruker MI SE software (Bruker, Germany) and correlated to that of day 0.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Trophoblasts sEVs were stained with PKH26 (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) following the manufacturer’s instructions and incubated with HUVECs for 24 h at 37 °C. The cells were subsequently fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and washed using PBS. After being immersed with 0.5% Triton-X 100, HUVECs were stained in FITC Phalloidin (Solarbio, China) and DAPI (Solarbio, China). The uptake of PKH26-labelled sEVs in HUVECs was detected with a confocal laser scanning microscopy (Olympus, Japan). For the mice uptake experiments, the pregnant mice were injected with PKH26-labelled sEVs or PBS for 24 h via tail vein. After anesthetizing the mice, bioluminescence imaging results of mice, uterine horn, fetus and placenta were conducted to visualize the sEVs uptake using Bruker In-Vivo Imaging Systems and analyzed with Bruker MI SE software (Bruker Corp, USA).

FITC-conjugated TGF-β2 was employed for fluorescence signal tracing, and was prepared as previously described. For in vivo experiments, 5 × 105 P1- LbL-coated HFSCs loaded with FITC-conjugated TGF-β2 or 5 × 105 P1 HFSCs with FITC-conjugated TGF-β2 medium or 5 × 105 P1 LbL-HFSCs, combined with 5 × 105 mouse dermal cells were injected subcutaneously into the dorsal site of athymic nude mice (n =16 per group). FITC- conjugated TGF-β2 were detected using the In vivo FX Pro imaging system (Bruker, Madison, WI, USA) according to manufacturer's instructions, on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 post-injection. All fluorescence intensities were analyzed using the MISE software (Bruker), and are presented in terms of photon flux (photons sec-1, cm-2 steradian [SR]-1). On days 1, 3, 5, and 7 post-injection, the grafted regions were harvested and 10-µm thick frozen sections were obtained. Fluorescence microscopy images were captured via fluorescence microscopy (IX71 FL, Olympus).

HeLa-Luc cells were seeded in 12-well plates at the density of 106 cells per well and incubated for 24 hours in 1 ml of RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% FBS. The cells were then incubated with siLuc-loaded NPs for 24 hours, followed by washing with fresh medium and a 5-min incubation with Steady-Glo Luciferase Assay System (Promega Corporation, catalog no. E2520). Firefly luciferase expression was assessed by quantifying bioluminescence using an In-Vivo Xtreme imaging system with a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. Bruker MI SE software was used to quantify the average radiance (photons per second per cm2 per steradian) within regions of interest, and GraphPad software was used to plot the changes of average radiance.

Animal experiments were approved by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver NICHD animal protocol (ASP: 15-028). Six week-old female nude athymic mice (nu/nu) were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory. The weight of each mouse was approximately 20 g at experiment onset. Mice were injected into the tail vein with 1 million MTT luciferase cells in 100 μL PBS. Animals were imaged from day 7 post tail-vein injection by bioluminescence imaging. Mice injected with MTT luciferase allografts received an I.P. injection of 10 μL/g of body weight of D-luciferin (Caliper Life Sciences) dissolved in 100 μL PBS. The in vivo imaging system (Bruker) and Bruker MI SE Software were utilized to acquire and analyze the signaling. Seven days after tail vein injection, all mice were randomized into two groups, each consisting of 7 mice. Mice were either treated with solvent alone, or IDA hydrochloride intraperitoneal injection (Pfizer) with a 1 mg/kg dose every day, for seven days. Animals were re-imaged to measure the size of metastatic tumors. Euthanasia by cervical dislocation followed. Liver and spleen tumors were removed. Expression profiles of HIF-1α and HIF-2α downstream target genes were measured using qPCR according to the protocol described above.

Bioluminescence imaging on live mice was previously described (25 (link), 28 (link)). Briefly, mice were anesthetized under 2% isoflurane in 100% Oz at 0.5–1 L/min., followed by intraperitoneal injection of 300 mg/kg d-luciferin (Biosynth, St. Gallen, Switzerland). Anesthetized mice were placed in a light-tight chamber of the In vivo Xtreme Imaging System (Bruker, Billerica, MA, USA), and photons emitted from live luciferase-expressing cells were captured by the back-illuminated 4 MP camera within 30 min after luciferin injection. Bioluminescent imaging (BLI) signals were expressed in photons/second by drawing a defined region of interest at the site of transplant throughout the experiment with the Bruker MI SE software.
