Cytotoxinic mechanism of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles on human hepatoma cell lines

Abstract

Stable and single-dispersed HAP nanoparticles were synthesized with chemical method assisted by ultrasonic treatment. HAP nanoparticles were surveyed by AFM and Zataplus. The effect on the Bel-7402 human hepatoma cell lines treated with HAP nanoparticles was investigated by the MTT methods and observation of morphology, and the mechanism was studied in changes of cell cycle and ultrastructure. The result shows that inhibition of HAP nanoparticles on the Bel-7402 human hepatoma cell lines is obviously in vitro. HAP nanoparticles the entered cancer cytoplasm, and cell proliferation is stopped at G₁ phase of cell cycle, thus, cancer cells die directly.
