Effect of endocytosis inhibitors on the uptake of AuNRs with different modifications by cells. The cells were exposed to endocytosis inhibitors for 45 min, and then, the medium was replaced with fresh medium containing AuNRs for 1 h. The uptake of AuNRs was normalized to that of cells without inhibition treatment. Open, light gray, dark gray, and closed bars indicate uptake of PSS, PAH, silica, and amine–silica AuNRs, respectively. Data represent mean values for n = 3, and error bars are one standard deviation of the means. Statistical significance: *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 when compared with values for control and other inhibitors (Dunnett’s test).
