Figure 8

Viability of cancerous (4T1 [murine] and MCF-7 [human]) and noncancerous (NIH/3T3 [murine] and MCF-10A [human]) cells after exposure to laser alone, PVM/MA NPs, and AlPc associated to PVM/MA NPs.

Notes: (A) Laser (670 nm) alone; (B) PVM/MA NPs in the dark; and (C and D) AlPc associated to PVM/MA NPs (AlPc-NPs) in the dark. (A and B) There were no statistically significant differences between the viabilities of treated and nontreated cells. aP<0.05 versus 0 μM; bP<0.001 versus 0 μM; cP<0.01 versus 0 μM.

Abbreviations: PVM/MA, poly(methyl vinyl ether-co-maleic anhydride); AlPc, aluminum–phthalocyanine chloride; NPs, nanoparticles.
