(A) Cellular uptake of free Dox and Dox@PAH-cit/PDA NPs in PC3 cells revealed by CLSM images; scale bar =50 µm. (B) Quantitative analysis of intracellular concentration of Dox after cells incubated with free Dox or Dox@PAH-cit/PDA NPs. The ratio between Dox and cell protein concentration was detected. *P<0.05 was calculated by using Student’s t-test.
