To further investigate the effects of different ICA nanoparticles on LPS-induced cell apoptosis, we used the Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining method to analyze the apoptotic rate. After H9c2 treatment as described above, cells were harvested and resuspended in 195 μL of binding buffer containing 10 µL of Annexin V-FITC and 5 µL of PI and then incubated for 15 min at room temperature in the dark. After centrifugation at 1500 rpm for 10 min at 4 °C, the staining buffer was aspirated, and the cells were washed twice with PBS and resuspended in 100 µL of PBS. Finally, the samples were measured by flow cytometer.
