Combined antitumor therapy of MSNs-anti-miR-155@PDA-Apt and 5-FU in vitro and in vivo. The viability of SW480 (A) and SW480/ADR (B) cells treated with free 5-FU, free 5-FU/MSNs@PDA-Apt, and free 5-FU/MSNs-anti-miR-155@PDA-Apt detected by MTT. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (*P<0.05) (C) Western blot analysis of P-gp. (D) Image of nude mice with SW480 tumor 14 days after treatment. (E) Image of tumors 14 days after treatment.
