Abstract
The evaluation of cytotoxic and apoptotic activities of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) synthesized by aqueous extract of Prosopis farcta was investigated against lung (A549) and colon (HT-29) cell lines. The cytotoxic activity of nanoparticles was performed using MTT assay, while their apoptotic activity was tested using TUNEL method. The obtained results of MTT showed that the cell viability of A549 was dependent on the nanoparticles concentration and incubation time. Therefore, although the cytotoxic effect increased as the Ag-NPs concentration and incubation time heightened, yet the viability of HT-29 cells seems to be dependent only on the incubation time. The apoptotic results of the nanoparticles showed more than 50 of apoptosis on A549 and HT-29 cell lines, which in this case, HT-29 demonstrated 100 apoptosis at concentrations of more than 400 A mu g/ml. It seems that Ag-NPs synthesized using P. farcta extract can serve as anti-cancer agent in the treatment many cancers through creating or discovering new drug forms.
