Effects PdNPs + MLT on cell viability and proliferation. Cell viability of A549 (A) H1229 (B) and L132 (C) cells and cell proliferation of human adenocarcinoma cells A549 (D), H1229 (E), and L132 (F) in each of the following treatments: control, 2.5 µM PdNPs, 0.75 mMMLT, 2.5 µM PdNPs combined with 0.75 mM MLT, and 5 µM DOX. Results are shown as the mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. The treated groups showed statistically significant differences from the control group per Student’s t-test. * p < 0.05 was considered significant; ** p < 0.01 was considered highly significant.
