cuo nanoparticles induce cytotoxicity and apoptosis in human k562 cancer cell line via mitochondrial pathway, through reactive oxygen species and p53

چکیده
objective(s): this study focused on determining cytotoxic effects of copper oxide nanoparticles (cuo nps) on chronic myeloid leukemia (cml) k562 cell line in a cell-specific manner and its possible mechanism of cell death. we investigated the cytotoxicity of cuo nps against k562 cell line (cancerous cell) and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (normal cell). materials and methods: the toxicity was evaluated using cell viability, oxidative stress and apoptosis detection. in addition, the expression levels of p53, caspase 3, bcl-2, and bax genes in k562 cells were studied by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) analysis. results: cuo nps exerted distinct effects on cell viability via selective killing of cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner while not impacting normal cells in mtt assay. the dose-dependent cytotoxicity of cuo nps against k562 cells was shown through reactive oxygen species (ros) generation. the cuo nps induced apoptosis was confirmed through acridine orange and propidium iodide double staining. tumor suppressor gene p53 was up regulated due to cuo nps exposure, and increase in bax/bcl-2 ratio suggested mitochondria-mediated pathway is involved in cuo nps induced apoptosis. we also observed that caspase 3 gene expression remained unchanged up to 24 hr exposure. conclusion: these molecular alterations provide an insight into cuo nps-caused inhibition of growth, generation of ros, and apoptotic death of k562 cells.

متن کاملZinc oxide nanoparticles selectively induce apoptosis in human cancer cells through reactive oxygen species
BACKGROUND Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have received much attention for their implications in cancer therapy. It has been reported that ZnO NPs induce selective killing of cancer cells. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms behind the anticancer response of ZnO NPs remain unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS We investigated the cytotoxicity of ZnO NPs against three types of cancer cells...

Uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) are the most common benign tumors in women of reproductive age. Although the local application of low doses of methotrexate (MTX) is used as an effective treatment of the myomas, myotrexate could be a promising new drug. This study investigated the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of both MTX and myotrexate in human fibroblasts derived from the uterine fibroids (T h...

Background: Promoter hyper-methylation of tumor suppressor genes is a common event that occurs in cancer. As methylation is a reversible modification, agents capable of reversing an abnormal methylation status should help to combat cancer. 5-Aza-CdR is a DNA methyl-transferase inhibitor. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of 5-Aza-CdR on the proliferation of human pancreatic cancer ...
