Effect of SiNPs on cellular uptake and cytoskeleton organization. The cytoskeletal F-actin in HUVECs were stained with Phalloidin-FITC Actin-Tracker(Green) and the cell nucleus with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, DAPI (blue) after treatment with Ruthenium (II) hydrate (Ru(phen)32+) interior-labeled SiNPs (red). The red fluorescent-labeled SiNPs entered into the HUVECs and disrupted the cytoskeleton F-actin in SiNPs-treated groups.
