A Uptake of NIR-715 by KYSE30 and KYSE150 cells, imaged by live-cell confocal fluorescence microscopy, at various times after NIR-715 addition. Fluorescence intensity was measured with a fluorescence microscope. Scale bar, 100 μm. B KYSE30 cells treated with vehicle (1% DMSO) or NIR-715 (2 μM) followed by light exposure (10 min) and SYTOX Green staining, as detected by live-cell confocal fluorescence microscopy. Scale bar, 100 μm. C Cell viability of KYSE30 (upper) and KYSE150 (lower) cells treated with various concentrations of NIR-715 with or without light exposure for 10 min. Cell viability was evaluated by MTS assay. D Colony formation assay for KYSE30 (upper) and KYSE150 (lower) cells after NIR-715 treatment. All data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 4). **P < 0.01 ***P < 0.001.
