Two weeks after injection with LifeAct-Ypet expressing D2.0R cells, a tumor is formed in the mouse ear skin (top left panel, outlined in green). The green fluorescent signal of the D2.0R cells can be observed in the tumor region (top right panel). A histological cross-section through the tumor region was obtained from the second ear injected at the same time with the same cell type. The Trichrome Masson staining colors the collagen in blue (bottom panel). B. Maximum projection of a z-stack obtained from an area in the periphery of the invasive tumor (top left panel A, white square). The D2.0R cells are shown in green, and the tumor is outlined in yellow. A background signal from the Evans Blue (red) can be observed in the vicinity of the blood vessels, potentially caused by the ‘leaky’ nature of the tumor vessels, its uptake by residing immune cells and the repeated injections. Scale bar: 50 µm. See Movie S4. C. Higher magnification z-projection of the cell of interest boxed in B. Scale bar: 10 µm. D. Time-lapse imaging of a D2.0R tumor cell in vivo. The different panels depict, in black against a white background, the fluorescent signal of the actin in the cell at the indicated time-points. See Movie S4. E. Color-coded map of the structural changes of the cell of interest (boxed in B and C) over time. Scale bar: 10 µm. ER -
