PAA-TiOxNPs enhanced the effects of radiation in vitro. a TEM images showing PAA-TiOxNPs within the MIAPaCa-2 cells (red arrows). b, c DNA damage illustrated by immunohistochemistry of γ-H2AX foci in the nucleus. The X-ray irradiation combined with PAA-TiOxNPs induced a higher proportion of γ-H2AX foci-positive cells compared to the single treatment of X-ray irradiation or PAA-TiOxNPs. Data are shown as the mean ± SD. *p < 0.05. d Significantly higher combination effects of X-ray irradiation with PAA-TiOxNPs were observed in a colony forming assay. Data are shown as the mean ± SD from 3 independent experiments. *p < 0.05
