(a), (b) Cytotoxicity and phototoxicity of free CUR/ICG, CUR/ICG-LPs and GE11-CUR/ICG-LPs under the NIR laser irradiation (808 nm) of 1 W·cm−2 for 5 min at different concentrations on A549 cells after 24 h incubation. (c) Fluorescence images of A549 cells stained with calcein-AM (green) after different treatments. Scale bar = 100 μm. (d) Synergistic effect of photo- and chemotherapy based on GE11-CUR/ICG-LPs. Cytotoxicity of GE11-ICG-LPs, GE11-CUR-LPs, and GE11-CUR/ICG-LPs with or without laser exposure was performed by MTT assays. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3). , and .
