Radiation sensitizing effect of gold nanotriangle. a Schematic of synthesis gold nanotriangles with large-scale. b TEM image of well-purified CTAC-capped AuNTs. Scale bar is 100 nm. c PEGylated AuNTs uptake by adherent cells (U87MG cells). Blue: DAPI, Yellow: AuNTs. d AuNTs delayed the tumor growth following subcutaneous U87MG xenografts. The comparisons include 3 groups: with vehicle only (control); with radiotherapy alone (RT); and PEGylated AuNTs with radiation (pAuNT + RT). e The difference between above treatment in tumor volume. f RT + pAuNTs treated mice displayed an improving tendency of actuarial survival (p = 0.05)
