Abstract

The present work introduces composite luminescent nanoparticles (Ag0-Tb3+-SNs), where ultra-small nanosilver (4 ± 2 nm) is deposited onto amino-modified silica nanoparticles (35±6 nm) doped by green luminescent Tb(III) complexes. Ag0-Tb3+-SNs are able to image cancer (Hep-2) cells in confocal microscopy measurements due to efficient cell internalization, which is confirmed by TEM images of the Hep-2 cells exposed by Ag0-Tb3+-SNs. Comparative analysis of the cytotoxicity of normal fibroblasts (DK-4) and cancer cells (Hep-2) incubated with various concentrations of Ag0-Tb3+-SNs revealed the concentration range where the toxic effect on the cancer cells is significant, while it is insignificant towards the nonmalignant fibroblasts cells. The obtained results reveal Ag0-Tb3+-SNs as good cellular contrast agent able to induce the cancer cells death, which makes them promising theranostic in cancer diagnostics and therapy.
