Antitumor efficacy in vivo.

Notes: T1-weighted brain MR images of glioma-bearing Wistar rats treated with saline, SPIO@DSPE-PEG NPs, free DOX, and SPIO@DSPE-PEG/DOX/ICG NPs on days 7, 14, 21, and 28 after tumor implantation (A); arrow indicates direction of the glioma. Tumor volumes monitored by MRI (B). Kaplane–Meier survival curves (C) of rats. Data are shown as mean ± SD, n=6. ***P<0.001 vs control group, #P<0.001 vs free DOX group.

Abbreviations: DOX, doxorubicin; DSPE-PEG, 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)]; ICG, indocyanine green; MR, magnetic resonance; SPIO NPs, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles.
