1 Supporting Information Huang et al /pnas SI Materials and Methods Animals and Tumor Models. FVB, Tie2 p -GFP/FVB, and C3H mice were bred and maintained in our gnotobiotic animal facility. MMTV-PyVT mice were kept in a barrier animal facility in Massachusetts General Hospital. In some experiments, fragments of spontaneous MMTV-PyVT breast tumors were transplanted orthotopically into syngeneic FVB female mice for no more than three generations (1). To obtain source tumor tissue, MCaP0008 mammary carcinoma cells ( cells) were injected orthotopically into female FVB mice (2). When the tumor reached 8 mm in diameter, it was excised, and a small piece (about 1 mm 3 )of viable tumor tissue was transplanted orthotopically into different female FVB mice. P1073 is a spontaneous autochthonous C3H mouse breast tumor. These tumors were implanted directly into C3H female mice for experiments. All animal procedures were carried out following the Public Health Service Policy on Humane Care of Laboratory Animals and were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Massachusetts General Hospital. Mammary Fat Pad Window Model. The mammary fat pad window model permits intravital imaging of orthotopically grown breast cancers through a glass window placed on the mammary tumor (3). Tie2 p -GFP/FVB mice were anesthetized, and surgery was performed under sterile conditions. A flap of skin (15-mm diameter) from an opposing surface of the mammary fat pad skin fold was removed to leave a fascial plane consisting of epidermis with nipple, mammary fat pad, and vasculature. A piece of breast tumor tissue (1 mm 3 ) was implanted into the remaining fascial layer, and a glass coverslip was placed over the center of a frame to cover the surgical area. Anti-VEGF Receptor 2 Treatment. Fragments of spontaneous murine mammary carcinoma from MMTV-PyVT mice (1) or MCaP0008 tumor fragments (2) were implanted orthotopically in the mammary fat pad of syngeneic immunocompetent FVB mice. When tumors reached 4 5 mm in diameter, mice were divided into appropriate groups and received four doses administered at 3-d intervals by i.p. injection of either control rat IgG [20 or 40 mg/kg body weight (bw)] (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc.) or the anti-vegf receptor 2 (VEGFR2) antibody DC101 (10, 20, or 40 mg/kg bw) (ImClone Systems/Eli Lilly) (4). Tumor dimensions were measured by caliper every 3 d, and tumor volume (mm 3 ) was estimated using the formula: tumor volume = (long axis) (short axis) 2 π/6. Combination of Anti-VEGFR2 Treatment and Breast Cancer Vaccine Therapy. Whole breast cancer cell vaccine was generated from MCaP0008 or MMTV-PyVT tumor tissues. Fresh breast tumor tissues were digested enzymatically at room temperature for 1 h in HBSS containing collagenase type 1A (1.5 mg/ml), hyaluronidase (1.5 mg/ml), and DNase (20 U/mL). CD45 + tumor-infiltrating leukocytes were depleted from the single-cell suspension using antimouse CD45 microbeads kit (Miltenyi). Cells from CD45 tumor tissue were incubated with mitomycin C (50 μg/ml) for 1 h at 37 C and then were washed three times with PBS. In the MCaP0008 tumor model, 7 d after tumor implantation, mice were divided randomly into appropriate groups and were injected i.p. four times (at 2- to 3-d intervals) with mitomycin-c treated cells derived from CD45 breast tumor tissue or an equal volume of PBS (Fig. 1A). In the MMTV-PyVT tumor model, the same vaccination protocol was started when tumors reached 3 mm in diameter. One day before the last vaccination, both vaccination and control groups were divided randomly into several groups and were treated with different doses of DC101 or control IgG, respectively. Tumor dimensions were measured by caliper at 3-d intervals, and tumor volume was estimated as described above. CD8 + T-Cell Depletion. CD8 + T-cell depletion was performed according to a previously described protocol (5) with a minor modification. MCaP0008 or MMTV tumor-bearing mice were injected i.p. with 200 μg anti-cd8a monoclonal antibody ( ; Bio X Cell) or isotype-matched rat IgG2a (2A3; Bio X Cell) on days 1 (1 d before the first vaccination), 1, 7, and 13. Peripheral blood drawn on day 10 after the first vaccination and tumors harvested at the end of the experiment were used to confirm the depletion of CD8 + T cells by flow cytometry. Intravital Microscopy. MCaP0008 tumors were grown in the mammary fat pad chambers. When tumors reached about 4 5 mm in diameter, mice were treated with DC101 or IgG on days 0, 3, and 6 at a dose of 20 or 40 mg/kg bw. Vessel angiography was performed using multiphoton laser-scanning microscopy as described previously (6, 7). For each tumor, four to six adjacent images were obtained through the mammary fat pad chamber. For each region, 60 images, spaced 2.5 μm apart, were collected in the z direction, producing stacks with a volume of μm 3. The same region was imaged on days 0, 2, and 8. Analysis of Tumor Tissue Perfusion. Tumor tissue perfusion was determined by histological analysis of the i.v.-injected perfusion marker, Hoechst (Sigma Chemical Co.). Briefly, 5 min after i.v. injection of Hoechst (10 mg/kg in 200 μl PBS), mice were systemically perfused with PBS, and the tumors were removed and fixed. This procedure allows localization of tumor areas proximal to perfused vessels with fluorescence of nucleus-bound Hoechst 33342; hence the Hoechst-negative area reflects hypoxic areas within the tumor (8, 9). Mosaic images of tumors were collected using an Olympus FV1000 confocal laser scanning microscope. A 20 oil immersion objective acquired 640-μm square tiles, and an automated stage scanned through the entire cross-section of tumor tissue. The imaged tiles were stitched into a final mosaic image using Olympus software. Nonspecific nuclear staining (Sytox green) was performed and used to exclude necrotic areas. Hoechst was segmented using simple threshold-based method. To assess spatial heterogeneity, tumor area was broken into several area units based on a 700-μm grid. In each area unit, the mean Hoechst intensity and the fraction of the area that was Hoechst positive (based on the segmented data) were calculated. To visualize the heterogeneity of perfusion, a histogram of Hoechst was plotted. The Wilcoxon exact test was used to compare the heterogeneity of both DC101 groups with control. (A detailed analysis is given in Statistical Analysis.) Isolation and Functional Analyses of Splenic and Intratumoral T Cells. MMTV-PyVT tumor-bearing mice were perfused through intracardiac injection of PBS at killing. Breast tumor tissues were dissected, chopped into small pieces using a razor blade, and digested enzymatically at room temperature for 1 h in HBSS containing collagenase type 1A (1 mg/ml), hyaluronidase (1 mg/ ml), and DNase (20 U/mL). The digestion mixtures were filtered through 70-μm cell strainers to obtain single-cell suspensions. Tumor-infiltrating CD8 + cells were isolated by immunomagnetic separation using MS columns and anti-mouse CD8-conjugated magnetic beads according to the manufacturer s instructions (Miltenyi Biotec). Isolated CD8 + cells were restimulated with 1of9

2 mitomycin C-treated breast tumor cells or with medium alone in vitro for 22 h; GolgiPlug (BD Bioscience) was added during the last 5 h. Single-splenocyte suspensions were obtained by lysis of erythrocytes using M-Lyse buffer (R&D) and then were restimulated with MCaP0008 breast tumor lysate or medium alone in vitro for 72 h with the addition of GolgiPlug during the last 5 h. The cells were stained for CD3 and CD8 and then were fixed and permeabilized in Cytofix/Cytoperm solution (BD Bioscience) according to the manufacturer s instructions and were stained for intracellular IFN-γ. Tumor-specific IFN-γ producing CD3 + CD8 + T cells were quantified through a fluorescence-minus-one gating strategy by flow cytometry using a BD LSR II flow cytometer (BD Biosciences). Data were analyzed using FACS DIVA 6.0 software (BD Biosciences). Immunohistochemistry. Mice were injected i.v. with 100 μg of FITClabeled tomato lectin in PBS. After 5 min, the mice were perfused systemically with 4% (vol/vol) paraformaldehyde and killed. For hypoxia study, mice were injected i.p. with 60 mg/kg of pimonidazole hydrochloride (Hypoxyprobe; Hypoxyprobe, Inc.) and were killed after 60 min. Then tumor tissues were postfixed for 2 3 h in 4% (vol/vol) paraformaldehyde followed by incubation in 30% (wt/vol) sucrose overnight at 4 C. The tissues then were embedded in OCT compound and kept frozen at 80 C. CD31 (1:200) (Chemicon) and NG2 (1:1,000) (Chemicon) staining was carried out on frozen sections (20 μm thick). The slides were counterstained for cell nuclei by DAPI. Fluorescent images were taken using a confocal laser-scanning microscope. Microvessel density, microvessel area, and pericyte coverage were assessed using a custom algorithm in MATLAB. These parameters were determined in four to six photographic areas ( μm 2 each) from each tumor. For pimonidazole staining, after blocking with mouse IgG (M.O.M. Basic Kit #BMK2202; Vector Labs), pimonidazole antigens in the tumor tissues were detected by the mouse Ig monoclonal antibody, Hypoxyprobe-1 MAb1, (1:50) and the secondary antibody, Cy3 anti-mouse antibody, (1:200). The slides were counterstained with Sytox Green (Molecular Probes). Mosaic images of tumors were collected using an Olympus FV1000 confocal laser scanning microscope. A 20 oil immersion objective acquired 640-μm square tiles, and an automated stage scanned through the entire cross-section of tumor tissue. The imaged tiles were stitched into a final mosaic image using Olympus software. Nonspecific nuclear staining (Sytox green) was used to exclude necrotic areas. Areas staining positive for pimonidazole within the viable areas were normalized to the total viable area. Flow Cytometry Analysis. Tumor-bearing mice were perfused through intracardiac injection of PBS and killed. Breast tumor tissues were harvested, minced, and digested at 37 C for 1 h with DMEM containing collagenase type 1A (1.5 mg/ml), hyaluronidase (1.5 mg/ml), and DNase (2 mg/ml). The digestion mixtures were filtered through 70-μm cell strainers. Single-cell suspensions were incubated with rat anti-mouse CD16/CD32 mab and then were stained, washed, and resuspended in cold buffer (1% BSA, 0.1% NaN3 in PBS). 7-Amino-actinomycin D (7AAD) reagent (ebioscience) was added to the stained tubes (5 μl per tube) just before running the flow analysis. The doublet/aggregated events were gated out using forward scatter area (FSC-A) vs. forward scatter width (FSC-W) and side scatter area (SSC-A) vs. side scatter width (SSC-W). Flow cytometry data were acquired on an LSRII flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson) and were analyzed with FACSDiva software. FSC-A vs. FSC-W and SSC-A vs. SSC-W were applied to discriminate the doublet/aggregated events. The appropriate fluorochrome-conjugated, isotypematched control IgGs were used in all experiments. The following monoclonal anti-mouse antibodies were used: CD4-FITC, CD4-PE-Cy7, CD8a-FITC, CD8a-PE, CD45-PE, CD45-PE-Cy7, CD25-APC-Cy7, Foxp3-APC, Gr1-APC, and CD11b-APC-Cy7 (BD Biosciences) and F4/80-FITC and F4/80-PE (ebioscience). Quantitative Real Time PCR. Total RNA was extracted from flowsorted Hoechst negative or Hoechst positive tumorassociated macrophages (TAMs) (7AAD CD45 + F4/80 + Gr1 ) using an RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN). cdnas were synthesized using the TaqMan RT Kit (Applied Biosystems). Primers specific for β-actin, Arignase-1, IL10, CCL17, CCL22, MRC1, Nos2, IL-12a, IL-1β, TNF-α, CXCL9, CXCL-11, CSF1, MMP9,andTGF-β were used (Table S1), and relative gene expression was determined using Real-Time SYBR Green PCR Master Mix (Applied Biosystems) on a Stratagene Mx3000P QPCR System. The comparative threshold cycle method was used to calculate fold change in gene expression, which was normalized to β-actin as a reference gene. Statistical Analysis. We verified that day 16 tumor volume measurements had approximately log-normal distribution (P > 0.05, Wilks-Shapiro test), then compared log-transformed measurements using Student s t test. Heterogeneity was quantified, after dividing the image into squares of 700 μm, as the variance in the proportion of Hoechst positive area. The heterogeneity of measurements was compared between DC101 and control using Mann-Whitney test; we presented medians for each group and area under ROC. We used log-rank test for comparison of survival data. In all comparisons, statistical significance was set at P < Data are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). 1. DeNardo DG, et al.

Whole MCaP0008 cancer cell vaccine therapy stimulates anticancer CD8 + T-cell response in spleens. MCaP0008 tumor-bearing mice were treated as described in Fig. 1A. Splenocytes were harvested on day 11 after treatment with anti-vegfr2 antibody (DC101) and were restimulated by MCaP0008 tumor cell lysate in vitro for 72 h. Cell-mediated immune responses were determined by IFN-γ production in CD3 + CD8 + T cells using intracellular staining and flow cytometry. The differences between nonstimulated (medium alone) and tumor lysate-stimulated cells were calculated and expressed as frequency of parent CD8 + T cells. P values showed the difference compared with the PBS/IgG control group. n = 10 mice per group. Data are mean ± SEM. 3of9
