Area of Science:

  • Nanotechnology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Oral Oncology

Background:

  • Oral cancer presents a significant global health challenge with limited therapeutic options and poor prognosis in advanced stages.
  • Developing novel, targeted therapies is crucial for improving patient outcomes in oral cancer treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the in vitro cytotoxicity and selectivity of laser-ablated gold, silver, and copper nanoparticles against oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines.
  • To investigate the potential of these nanoparticles as targeted anticancer agents for oral cancer.

Main Methods:

  • Laser-ablation synthesis of gold, silver, and copper nanoparticles.
  • Assessment of nanoparticle cytotoxicity on OSCC cell lines (SCC-4, CAL-27, KB-3-1) and normal human oral keratinocytes (HOK).
  • Apoptosis induction was confirmed using flow cytometry and morphological analysis.

Main Results:

  • Gold nanoparticles exhibited the highest cytotoxicity against OSCC cell lines (IC50: 38.9-45.1 μg/mL) with significant selectivity (p < 0.001) compared to normal cells.
  • Flow cytometry and morphological analysis confirmed that gold nanoparticles induce apoptosis in cancer cells.
  • Silver and copper nanoparticles demonstrated moderate cytotoxic effects.

Conclusions:

  • Laser-ablated gold nanoparticles represent a promising, specific anticancer agent for oral cancer treatment.
  • The observed selectivity suggests a favorable therapeutic window for gold nanoparticle-based therapies.
  • Further research into gold nanoparticles could lead to novel strategies for oral cancer management.
