Figure Lengend Snippet: Drug release and tumor-killing effects of MR@BCG. (A) The loading capacity and encapsulation efficiency of PTX under different coating concentrations. (B) The release of free PTX from MRs over time in urine and PBS. (C) The tumor-killing effects of MR and PTX on bladder cancer MB49 cells. (D) Propidium iodide (PI) staining of MB49 cells treated with PBS, bare MRs, PTX, and MRs with PTX, respectively. Scale bar: 200 μm.(E to H) Expression of maturation markers of CD4 + , CD8 + , CD86 + , and CD206 + after 7 d of incubation with MR@BCG or control samples. (I to L) Concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), interleukin-2 (IL-2), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) after incubation with MR@BCG or control samples for 48 h.
