    Panels A , B , and C depict apoptotic morphological changes observed at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h, respectively, using AO/EtBr staining and fluorescence microscopy (10 × ). NHDF cells were treated with GO-Se at sub-IC 50 (200 μg mL −1 for 24 h, 150 μg mL −1 for 48 h, and 75 μg mL −1 for 72 h), IC 50 (275 μg mL −1 for 24 h, 163 μg mL −1 for 48 h, and 110 μg mL −1 for 72 h), and supra-IC 50 (400 μg mL −1 for 24 h, 300 μg mL −1 for 48 h, and 200 μg mL −1 for 72 h) doses at each respective time point. Data represent three independent experiments (n = 3). The yellow arrows represented cells exposed to supra-IC 50 concentrations exhibited extensive nuclear condensation, chromatin fragmentation, and apoptotic body formation. Scale bar: 200 μm.
