Cytotoxic activity of zinc oxide/titanium dioxide nanoparticles on prostate cancer cells

Abstract: Prostate cancer is caused by uncontrolled growth of cells in the prostate gland. The aim of this study was to determine the cytotoxic activity of titanium dioxide (TiO 2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) and TiO 2 + ZnO nanocomposite (NC) in human prostate cancer cell line (DU-145) and healthy mouse fibroblast cell line (L-929). In the study, TiO 2 and ZnO NPs and TiO 2 + ZnO NC were synthesized. Cytotoxic activities of NC and NPs was then analyzed in human prostate cancer cell line (DU-145) and health… Show more

“…MNP effects on the cellular microenvironment and tissue physiology have not been well studied. It is necessary to develop effective therapies and obtain an in-depth understanding of anticancer activity of mechanical stimuli [86][87][88][89][90]. Additionally, the increased cytotoxic effect of TiO 2 -ZnO-Au nanocomposites was compared to that of TiO 2 NPs and ZnONPs against Du-145 prostate cancer cells [91].…”

“…However, after a few years, tumor recurrence can shorten chemotherapy as a valuable therapeutic option for prostate cancer. However, associated side effects such as toxicity, fatigue, difficulty breathing, low white blood cell count, and blood clotting hamper their efficacy for tumor eradication [173]. Recently, targeted drug delivery and stimulus-responsive release have minimized toxicity and improved drug delivery and accumulation at the target site [174,175].…”

“…Different inorganic nanoparticles such as TiO 2 , graphene oxide, iron oxide, and porous silica have been used for drug delivery and anticancer therapeutic agents [173]. TiO 2 NPs are considered potent drug carriers and photosensitizers due to their low cost, toxicity, and non-photobleaching characteristics [176,177].…”

“…Extensive research has been documented in the literature, exploring the effects of diverse nanoparticles (NPs) on enzyme activity in microorganisms, animals, and plants [28][29][30][31][32][33]. In particular, biochemical, physiological and molecular effects have been investigated in different soil organisms and microorganisms.…”
