Abstract

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have recently emerged as prominent vehicles for many biomedical applications from sensing to delivery. The relevant literature contains conflicting data about the effects of AuNPs on living cells. The aim of present study is the synthesis and characterization of AuNPs at nanoscale, tracking their cellular localization and determining their effects on cell viability, migration and angiogenesis. Within this scope, 20 nm AuNPs were synthesized and characterized using various spectrometric techniques to determine their size, shape and surface properties such as charge and texture. Two main cell types including mouse fibroblast (L929) and human cervix adenocarcinoma (HeLa) were used in the study to compare the biological effects of colloidal gold on both non-cancer and cancer cells. AuNPs were allowed to interact with HeLa cells to determine their intracellular localization. AuNPs were mainly attached to the cell membrane/membranous compartments and to be captured in small amounts in cytoplasmic vacuoles or to be distributed freely in the cytosol. Scratch assay results showed that AuNPs reduced cancer cell migration especially at increasing concentrations. According to the chick chorioallantoic membrane as...Continue Reading

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

Antiphospholipid Syndrome

Antiphospholipid syndrome or antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS or APLS), is an autoimmune, hypercoagulable state caused by the presence of antibodies directed against phospholipids.
