In this study, we synthesized manganese dioxide nanoparticles (MnO<sub>2</sub> NPs) stabilized with biocompatible polymers (polyvinylpyrrolidone and polyacrylic acid) and analyzed their effect on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells with or without gefitinib resistance <i>in vitro</i>. MnO<sub>2</sub> NPs showed glutathione (GSH)-responsive dissolution and subsequent enhancement in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Of note, treatment with MnO<sub>2</sub> NPs induced significant cytotoxic effe ...[more]
