Cellular studies. (A) The fluorescence images of A549 cells treated with various formulations observed by the fluorescence-inverted microscope. The scale bar is 50 μm. (B) Quantitation of intracellular green fluorescence intensity measured using the flow cytometry. **p < .01 versus FITC; ##p < .01 versus FITC/EC-MEs. All the data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3). (C,D) Mechanism of cellular uptake. The relative uptake efficiency of (C) ECG-MEs and (D) EC-MEs after pretreating A549 cells with different endocytosis inhibitors. **p < .01 versus control. All the data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 4).
