Cytocompatibility of Blank-NPs and uptake of Coumarin-6 NPs by cells. Cytocompatibility testing and cell uptake of Blank-NPs were detected. Within 24 h–72 h, Blank-NPs had almost no inhibitory effect on the growth of EC and SMC in normoxia (A, a) and hypoxia (B, a), and the cell survival rate was basically above 75%. Coumarin-6 NPs can be successfully swallowed into cells by EC and SMC under normoxia (A, b) and hypoxia (B, b), and lysosomal escape has been achieved. (A,b & B,b)The white bars represent 20 μm, blue stands for DAPI and green represents coumarin 6.
