Figure Lengend Snippet: Endothelial PD-L1 mediates suppression of CD8+ T cell within tumor endothelium. A Orthotopic 4T1-bearing murine model. B Tumor growth curves in both groups; the yellow arrows indicate PTX or PBS administration. C Representative images of tumor samples (day 26). Immunofluorescence staining of CD31 (green), CD8 (red), and DAPI (blue); yellow arrows indicate cell–cell interactions between CD8+ T cells (CD8) and ECs (CD31). Scale bars: 1 mm (left) and 200 µm (right). D Representative histograms and quantification of PD-L1 expression on ECs from 4T1-bearing mice (day 26). Fluorescence Minus One (FMO) served as a negative control. E The splenocytes from OT-I mice were incubated with IFNγ-stimulated sEND.1 at a ratio of 500:1 with or without pre-administration of anti-PD-L1 antibody (10 μg/ml) 1 h prior to co-incubation. 72 h later, the proliferation of CD8+ T cells was detected by flow cytometry using the FITC channel. F The quantitation of CD8+ T cell prefoliation. n = 3; G immunofluorescence staining of CD31 (green) and CD8 (red) in tumor samples. The number of samples: PBS-day12, n = 7; PTX-day 12, n = 6; PTX-day 16, n = 7; PTX-day 26, n = 6. Scale bars: 200 µm. H Values of M1 (CD8) and M2 (CD31) over time corresponding to G . *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001; ns, not significant
