| Summary: | In this study we used biosynthesis methods to create bimetallic nickel cobalt nanoparticles (Ni-Co NPs) utilizing seaweed. Before exposure to target cells, the characterization of Ni-Co NPs is done by UV-Vis spectrophotometry, EDX, SEM, TEM, the shape of g Ni-Co NPs are polygonal form and its size is measured 38.27 ± 3 nm. The cytotoxic effect of g Ni-Co NPs on HuH7 and HCT cells were determined by MTT and NRU assays. The cytotoxicity of NPs increased in a concentration dependent manner and it showed high cytotoxic effect on HCT-116 cells than HuH-7 cells. We determined IC 50 24 h for HuH-7 and HCT -116 cells at 24 h, it was 65.84 and 24.73 μg/mL, respectively. ROS was elevated at higher concentration of Ni-Co NPs. LPO was increased at 16 μg/mL in HuH-7 cells and 19 μg/mL in HCT-116 cells. CAT was reduced in HCT-116 cells than HuH-7 cells high concentration of NPs. JC-1 staining, the loss of MMP in control, Ni-Co NPs exposed cell were evaluated. In HuH-7 and HCT-116 cells, maximum apoptotic cells were observed at high concentration. Apoptotic genes were expressed in both type cells. The above findings highlight the significance of Ni-Co NPs and useful in a number of cancer treatments. |
