a Scheme of in vitro PTT treatment by Nano-BFF. b Confocal images of 4T1 cells administrated with Cy3-labeled Nano-BFF at varied time points (scale bars: 50 μm). c Cell survival rates of 4T1 cells administrated with Nano-BFF at elevated doses for 24 and 48 h (n = 5 biologically independent samples). d, e Cell survival rates of 4T1 cells treated with various concentrations of Nano-BFF under d 808 nm and e 1064 nm laser exposure for 10 min (n = 5 biologically independent samples). Data are presented as mean values ± SD. n.s.: not significant. p > 0.05; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001, analyzed by Student’s two-sided test. f, g Fluorescence images of 4T1 cells after treated with various disposes. The cells were stained by f calcein-AM/PI (scale bars: 100 μm) and g DAPI/iFluor 488 (scale bars: 20 μm) before the analysis by CLSM. h1–8 Apoptosis profiles of 4T1 cells after treated with various disposes (I: PBS; II: NIR-I laser; III: NIR-II laser; IV: Nano-BFF; V: Nano-BFF + NIR-I laser; VI: Nano-BFF + NIR-II laser).
