Antidotal effects of CB⁷ on PQ poisoning in A549 cells and LO2 cells. (A) Viability of A549 cells which were incubated with CB⁷, PQ or PQ@CB⁷ (molar ratio=1:1) at the various PQ concentration. Data are presented as means ± SEM, n = 5, ***P<0.001. (B) Viability of A549 cells which were incubated with PQ (0.5mM) or PQ@CB⁷ at the various CB⁷ concentration for 24 h. Data are presented as means ± SEM, n = 5, ***P<0.001. (C) Viability of LO2 cells which were incubated with CB⁷, PQ or PQ@CB⁷ (molar ratio=1:1) at the various PQ concentration. Data are presented as means ± SEM, n = 5, ***P<0.001. (D) Viability of LO2 cells which were incubated with PQ (0.5mM) or PQ@CB⁷ at the various CB⁷ concentration for 24 h. Data are presented as means ± SEM, n = 5, *P<0.05, ***P<0.001.
