Abstract:
:Glioblastomas (GBM) are aggressive brain tumors with very poor prognosis. While silver nanoparticles represent a potential new strategy for anticancer therapy, the silver/silver chloride nanoparticles (Ag/AgCl-NPs) have microbicidal activity, but had not been tested against tumor cells. Here, we analyzed the effect of biogenically produced Ag/AgCl-NPs (from yeast cultures) on the proliferation of GBM02 glioblastoma cells (and of human astrocytes) by automated, image-based high-content analysis (HCA). We compared the effect of 0.1-5.0 µg mL-1 Ag/AgCl-NPs with that of 9.7-48.5 µg mL-1 temozolomide (TMZ, chemotherapy drug currently used to treat glioblastomas), alone or in combination. At higher concentrations, Ag/AgCl-NPs inhibited GBM02 proliferation more effectively than TMZ (up to 82 and 62% inhibition, respectively), while the opposite occurred at lower concentrations (up to 23 and 53% inhibition, for Ag/AgCl-NPs and TMZ, respectively). The combined treatment (Ag/AgCl-NPs + TMZ) inhibited GBM02 proliferation by 54-83%. Ag/AgCl-NPs had a reduced effect on astrocyte proliferation compared with TMZ, and Ag/AgCl-NPs + TMZ inhibited astrocyte proliferation by 5-42%. The growth rate and population doubling time analyses confirmed that treatment with Ag/AgCl-NPs was more effective against GBM02 cells than TMZ (~ 67-fold), and less aggressive to astrocytes, while Ag/AgCl-NP + TMZ treatment was no more effective against GBM02 cells than Ag/AgCl-NPs monotherapy. Taken together, our data indicate that 2.5 µg mL-1 Ag/AgCl-NPs represents the safest dose tested here, which affects GBM02 proliferation, with limited effect on astrocytes. Our findings show that HCA is a useful approach to evaluate the antiproliferative effect of nanoparticles against tumor cells.
