Selective apoptotic effect of IC50 doses of uncoated NPs and coated NPs in control with DDC. (A) Flow charts of annexin/PI-stained NHCs and Hepa before and after treatment. (B) The percentage of total apoptotic NHCs and Hepa before and after treatment. (©,* and §represent significance at p < 0.01 when compared to untreated control cells, DDC-treated cells and uncoated NPs-treated cells, respectively). (C) Fluorescence photomicrographs of NHCs (I) after 72 h treatment with DDC (II), uncoated NPs (III) and coated NPs (IV) as well as Hepa (V) after 72 h treatment with DDC (VI), uncoated NPs (VII) and coated NPs (VIII).
