A selective toxicity of Pt-coated Au nanoparticles in cancerous MCF-7 cells over non-cancerous HUVE cells

Mohd Javed Akhtar et al.

Summary: Pt-coated Au nanoparticles exhibited higher uptake and cytotoxicity in human breast cancer cells compared to non-cancerous cells. The nanoparticles induced oxidative stress and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. These findings suggest the potential of Pt-Au nanoparticles as a promising option for cancer therapy.

CeO2-Zn Nanocomposite Induced Superoxide, Autophagy and a Non-Apoptotic Mode of Cell Death in Human Umbilical-Vein-Derived Endothelial (HUVE) Cells

Mohd Javed Akhtar et al.

Summary: This study synthesized a nanocomposite of cerium oxide-zinc and examined its bio-response in human umbilical-vein-derived endothelial cells. The nanocomposite exhibited higher cytotoxicity than cerium oxide nanoparticles alone and induced a different mechanism of cell death. These findings suggest that the nanocomposite may behave as an independent nanostructure from its constituent nanoparticles. The study provides important insights into the potential damage to the integrity of vascular systems.

Anti-Inflammatory CeO2 Nanoparticles Prevented Cytotoxicity Due to Exogenous Nitric Oxide Donors via Induction Rather Than Inhibition of Superoxide/Nitric Oxide in HUVE Cells

Mohd Javed Akhtar et al.

Summary: The study illustrates that the cytoprotective potential of CeO2 NPs against cytotoxic agents is mediated through signaling effects of O-2(center dot-) and/or NO, promoting antioxidant capacity in cells and enabling them to tolerate exogenously induced toxicity.

Facile Synthesis of Zn-Doped Bi2O3 Nanoparticles and Their Selective Cytotoxicity toward Cancer Cells

Maqusood Ahamed et al.

Summary: In this study, Zn-doped Bi2O3 NPs were synthesized and found to exhibit higher cytotoxicity towards cancer cells, with cytotoxicity increasing with higher levels of Zn-doping. The mechanism of cytotoxicity may involve the generation of reactive oxygen species and caspase-3 activation. Additionally, Zn-doped Bi2O3 NPs showed greater biocompatibility in normal cells, improving with increasing levels of Zn-doping.

The double-edged roles of ROS in cancer prevention and therapy

Yawei Wang et al.

Summary: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as cell signaling molecules generated in oxidative metabolism and are associated with various human diseases. Abnormal accumulation of ROS in cancer cells leads to tumor progression and metastasis. Understanding the dual roles of ROS in tumor growth, metastasis, and apoptosis, as well as related signal transduction networks and anticancer therapies is crucial in conquering cancer.
