Cellular uptake of a curcumin-loaded LCN dispersion (LCN-R) using a human colon cancer cell line (HCT116).

Notes: (A) Fluorescence microscopy image; (B) FACS analysis. The cellular uptake of the curcumin-loaded LCN dispersion was studied using fluorescence microscopy and FACS analysis with a human colon cancer cell line. The uptake of curcumin-loaded LCN by the HCT116 cells occurred in a dose-dependent manner.

Abbreviations: DMSO, dimethyl sulfoxide; FLI-H, fluorescence channel 1 height; LCN-R, liquid crystalline nanoparticles prepared with Cremophor RH 40 as a solubilizer; LCN, liquid crystalline nanoparticles; FACS, fluorescence-activated cell sorting.
