a Western blot study of AFP between HepG2 and LO2. b Ferritin level of HepG2 that transfected by MPDA@SPIO/SA-PEI/AFP-Fth, MPDA@SPIO/PEI/AFP-Fth, SA-PEI/AFP-Fth. Free AFP-Fth was also added as control group. c T2-weighted images of transfected HepG2 cells with or without FAC supplement, and the chart of 1/T2 (S−1) values. d The tumor model made in orthotopic injection HepG2 cells, the yellow cycle stands for tumor in liver. Microscope image (× 10) of HE and Ki-67 immunofluorescence stained liver tissue section, “L” indicated the normal liver, “T” indicated the tumor tissue. (a, MPDA@SPIO/SA-PEI/AFP-Fth b, MPDA@SPIO/PEI/AFP-Fth c, SA-PEI/AFP-Fth d, AFP-Fth) (n = 5; ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05, compared with untreated cells)
