(A) Relative viabilities of MDA-MB-231 cells incubated with TMSG or PMSG at different concentrations under exposure to a 785 nm laser at a power density of 3 W/cm2 for 5 minutes. (B) Relative viabilities of MDA-MB-231 cells after TMSG (80 μg/mL) induced photothermal ablation over different laser exposure periods.

Notes: The cell viability values were all normalized to control untreated cells (n=3). **P<0.01.

Abbreviations: PMSG, polyethylene glycol-modified mesoporous silica-coated gold nanorods; TMSG, tLyp-1 peptide-functionalized PMSG; s, seconds; MDA-MB-231cells, MD Anderson-metastatic breast-231 cells.
