Necrotic potentials of AuNPs and AuNPs composites on EAC cells in EAC tumor-bearing mice. Necrosis (a), early apoptosis (b), and late necrosis (c). EAC tumor-bearing mice were treated with PBS, CP, TQ, AuNPs, AgNPs AuNPs/TQ, ANPs/TQ, AuNPs/TQ + CP, or ANPs/TQ + CP daily for 6 successive days. The euthanasia of the mice occurred on the eleventh day subsequent to the inoculation of tumor cells. EAC cells were collected to assess necrosis, early apoptosis, and late apoptosis. Data are stated as mean ± SE (n = 5). A statistically significant difference between the groups was established at P < 0.05. a, b,c indicate statistically significant differences when compared to the EAC tumor-bearing mice receiving PBS (a), EAC tumor-bearing mice receiving CP (b), EAC tumor-bearing receiving TQ (c)
