In vitro anti-tumor efficacy in PC-3 cells.
Notes: Taxotere® (Sanofi S.A., Paris, France) and PS-PDLLA/DCT NPs at 1 nM, 10 nM, and 100 nM DCT were incubated for (A) 48 and (B) 72 hours. An MTS-based assay was performed to assess cell viability (%). Each point indicates the mean ± SD (n≥3). *P<0.05 compared to the Taxotere group.
Abbreviations: DCT, docetaxel; MTS, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium; NP, nanoparticle; PS-PDLLA, poly(styrene)-b-poly(DL-lactide); SD, standard deviation.
