Effects of free DOX, different DOX-loaded nanocarrier formulations, and blank carriers on apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. (A) FCM scatter diagrams of MCF-7 cells treated for 48 h. (B) Fluorescence images of apoptotic cells. Quantitative apoptosis ratios: (C) DOX equivalent concentration 50 μg·mL⁻¹; (D) DOX equivalent concentration 100 μg·mL⁻¹; (E) blank carrier equivalent concentration 50 μg·mL⁻¹; (F) blank carrier equivalent concentration 100 μg·mL⁻¹ (n = 3). ANOVA was used for statistical analysis.
