The effect of pGNRs@mSiO2-RGD nanoprobes on integrin αvβ3 expression as evidenced by Western blotting.

Notes: MDA-MB-231 cells were incubated with pGNRs@mSiO2-RGD 24 hours prior to treatment with 6 MV X-rays (6 Gy). β-actin was used as the loading control. pGNRs@mSiO2, mesoporous silica-encapsulated gold nanorods; pGNRs@mSiO2−RGD, RGD-conjugated mesoporous silica-encapsulated gold nanorods; integrin αvβ3, integrin alphaV beta3; RGD, arginine–glycine–aspartic acid (Arg-Gly-Asp) peptides.

Abbreviation: RT, radiation.
