Cellular and sub-cellular Ru(III)-complex trafficking after HoThyRu/DOTAP application to MCF-7. Ruthenium distribution between MCF-7 cells and media, plus intracellular ruthenium accumulation in cells by subcellular fractionation and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis, after incubations for 24 h with 100 µM of AziRu or HoThyRu/DOTAP formulation. In the reported fractions, ruthenium content is expressed in bar graphs as percentage of the total ruthenium administered during incubations in vitro. Results derive from the average ± SEM values of three independent experiments. *p < 0.05 vs. AziRu treated cells; ***p < 0.001 vs. AziRu treated cells.
