Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles Induced Toxicity in Human Lung Cells: Role of ROS Mediated DNA Damage and Apoptosis
Figure 7
Determination of apoptotic cells by acridine orange staining of A549 cells exposed to CeO2 NPs for 24 h exposure. Cells were exposed, washed, and stained with acridine orange dye. (a) Control cells, (b, c) treated cells showing nuclear fragmentation, (d, e) chromatin condensation, and (f) apoptotic bodies.
