Verteporfin fluorescence in antineoplastic-treated pancreatic cancer cells found concentrated in mitochondria

Figure 1 Fluorescence of verteporfin and proliferation of human pancreatic cancer cells after incubation with verteporfin. A: Fluorescence imaging of different concentrations of verteporfin using an IVIS Spectrum small animal imaging system; B and C: Proliferation of (B) AsPC-1 cells and (C) BxPC-3 cells after incubation with different concentrations of verteporfin (nil, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 μmol/L) for 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h; preformed in triplicate.
