In Vitro:
Cell(HepG2, 20 μg/mL, 1 h, 37℃):
For initial study of cellular internalization, NPs-EPI was incubated with tumor spheroids at an EPI concentration of 8 μg/mL for 4 h. The tumor spheroids were grown as our previous reported procedure. Briefly, HepG2 cells were seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 8×103 per well precoated with 50 μL of 1% low melting point agarose. Cells were cultured to obtain multicellular spheroids (400–500 μm in diameter) for subsequent studies. After incubation with NPs-EPI, tumor spheroids were rinsed three times with cold PBS and processed for image analysis by TEM.To investigate the internalization pathways of NPs-EPI, HepG2 cells were seeded into 6-well plates with 2×105 cells per well and incubated for 24 hours. The cells were then pre-treated with different endocytic inhibitors (chlorpromazine hydrochloride 20 μg/mL, amiloride hydrochloride 200 μg/mL) at 37℃ for 1 hour. Subsequently, NPs-EPI (EPI 8 μg/mL) were added and incubated at 37℃ for 2 hours. Finally, the cells were washed three times with cold PBS and harvested for flow cytometry to determine the fluorescence intensity of EPI (Ex=488, Em=588). Cells pre-treated with PBS at 37℃ served as the positive control group. Internalization assays were also performed in the absence of endocytic inhibitors at 4℃ when indicated.

Cell (100 μM Chlorpromazine,30 min):
To investigate the endocytosis mechanism involved in the uptake process, cells were pre-treated with endocytic inhibitors including chlorpromazine (100 μM), genistein (200 μM), and amiloride (200 μM) for 30 min. Ten the cells were treated with 1 μg of FITC-labeled DMSNs for 6 h. In a control group, cells were not treated with the inhibitors prior to nanoparticle treatment. Cellular uptakes of nanoparticles were quantitated by fow cytometer as described above.

Cell(A549 cells and MDCK cells;5 μg/ mL Chlorpromazine):
To investigate the uptake mechanism of virus-laden AFPs, cells were pretreated with NA enzyme (1 U/ml) at 37℃ for 2 hours and immediately incubated with diverse inhibitors in complete cell culture medium at 37℃ for 1 hour, followed by infection with virus-laden AFPs (50 μg/ml) for 24 hours. Chlorpromazine (5 μg/ ml; Solarbio, China) was used to inhibit clathrin-mediated endocytosis;methyl-β-cyclodextrin (20 μg/ml) was used to inhibit lipid raft–mediated endocytosis; amiloride (50 μg/ml; Solarbio, China) was used to block micropinocytosis; cytochalasin D (2.5 μg/ml) was used to inhibit actin polymerization and macropinocytosis, as established previously.
