Figure 9

Cell viability (percentage of control) of NCI-H460 tumoroids generated on 3-D chitosan–gelatin scaffolds following treatment with Tx (5 hours), TPT (after 24 hours), Tx followed by TPT, TPT-loaded PLGA–chitosan composite microparticles, and combination of Tx- and TPT-loaded PLGA–chitosan composite particles.

Notes: Tx and TPT concentrations were 100 and 500 nM, respectively. *Indicates significance (P<0.05) between additive effect of Tx and TPT when treated individually vs their sequential treatment. **Indicates significance (P<0.05) between additive effect of Tx- and TPT-loaded PLGA–chitosan composite particles (Tx + PLGA-TPT-Ch-P) when treated individually vs their combination on NCI-H460 tumoroids. n=3.

Abbreviations: 3-D, three-dimensional; Ch-P, chitosan micro-/nanoparticles; PLGA, poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide); TPT, topotecan; Tx, paclitaxel.
