Effects of SOD/catalase mimetic platinum nanoparticles on radiation-induced apoptosis in human lymphoma U937 cells

Abstract: Since polyacrylic acid capped platinum nano-particles (nano-Pts) are known to have a unique ability to quench superoxide (O2(-)) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the anti-oxidant activity of nano-Pts against apoptosis induced by x-irradiation in human lymphoma U937 cells was investigated. DNA fragmentation assay, Annexin V-FITC/PI by flow cytometry and Giemsa staining revealed a significant decrease in apoptosis induced by 10 Gy, when cells were pre-treated with nano-Pts in a dose-dependent manner. Pre-treatment … Show more

“…AD is a chronic or chronically relapsing inflammatory skin disease characterized by the presence of eczematous skin lesions with lichenification, pruritic excoriation, dry skin and susceptibility to skin infections . Use of anti‐inflammatory agents has been shown to be beneficial in protecting against AD . AST is well known as an excellent anti‐inflammatory agent that suppresses pro‐inflammatory cytokine and chemokine expression .…”

“…NP-Pt have fewer side effects on general health than do platinum salts such as cisplatin and localise primarily at target/specific cells or tissues [6, 2122]. Moreover, the size <20 nm of NP-Pt determines their bioavailability for cells and tissue and improves the NP-Pt uptake by cancer cells [67, 9, 12, 22]. The inhibition of proliferation processes is crucial to patient treatment in the dynamic fields of oncology, especially neurooncology, where the downregulation proliferation of cancer cells is crucial for the success of treatment [23].…”

“…Platinum nanoparticles (NP-Pt) showed dose-dependent toxicity against different types of human cancer cells including breast MCF-7, liver HepG-2 [6], colorectal HT29 [8], lymphoma U937 [9] and glioma U87 [6], U251 [10]. Moreover, NP-Pt combined with hadron cancer therapy created DNA strand breaks and activated apoptosis in HT29 cancer cells [8].…”

“…It releases of therapeutic targets at the connected malignant cells while minimizing off-target side effects. The nanoparticle absorption however could block the apoptotic processes induced by complementary therapies, [40,41].When the delivering nanoparticle which is especially bonded to the membrane of the malignant cell is heated up by outside field, it could make double effect: damage the membrane by heat and/or release the drug which was delivered to the target [42].…”
