Comparative Study of Antitumor Activity between Lipophilic Bismuth Nanoparticles (BisBAL NPs) and Chlorhexidine on Human Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Figure 4

Cell membrane permeability of nontumoral control cells (HGFs) was determined after exposition to BisBAL NP or chlorhexidine by calcein-AM assay and fluorescence microscopy. HGF cells were treated with 0, 10, or 50 μM of BisBAL NP or 50 μM of CHX for 24 h. After exposition, cells were stained with calcein-AM and DAPI. Bar indicates 5 μm.
