Accumulation of free DOX or LNPs-DOX in MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR cells. Cells were treated with 8 μg/mL DOX or an equivalent concentration of LNPs-DOX for 15 minutes and 1 hour. The intracellular DOX was then determined by flow cytometry analysis.
Notes: *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
Abbreviations: DOX, doxorubicin; free DOX, free doxorubicin; h, hours; LNPs- DOX, doxorubicin loaded in lipid/polymer particle assemblies; MCF-7, Michigan Cancer Foundation-7; MCF-7/ADR, MCF-7/adriamycin; NS, no significance.
