Aim: To investigate the effect of ultrasound during the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) on their anticancer activity. Materials & methods: ZnO NPs were synthesized in the presence and absence of ultrasonic irradiation. Biological tests were performed on human osteosarcoma cancer cells (Saos-2). Results: The sono-synthesized sample indicated higher cytotoxicity than the conventional one. (IC50 = 16.48 ± 0.41 μg/ml for sonochemical ZnO; 26.96 ± 0.33 μg/ml for conventional ZnO). Both sonochemical and conventional samples acted like antioxidants and reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species level. This reduction was more significant in cells treated with the sono-synthesized sample. The sono-synthesized ZnO NPs showed more tumor selectivity than the conventional sample. Conclusion: Sono-synthesis of ZnO NPs by a bath sonicator could improve their anticancer activity.

With wide application of Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles, their biological toxicity has received more and more attention in recent years. In this research, two ZnO dispersions with different particle sizes, small size Zinc oxide (S-ZnO) and big size Zinc oxide (B-ZnO), were prepared using polycarboxylic acid as dispersant. We found that the S-ZnO nanoparticles showed stronger toxicity on Human Pulmonary Alveolar Epithelial Cells (HPAEpiC) under same concentration. Only 9 ppm S-ZnO could decrease HPAEpiC viability to about 50%, which means that, a small amount of well-dispersed ZnO nanoparticles in industrial production process may cause serious damage to the human body through oral inhalation. Focusing on mechanism for cytotoxicity, ZnO nanoparticles promoted generation and accumulation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in mitochondria via inhibiting Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) enzyme activity and reducing Glutathione (GSH) content. ROS in turn opened the mitochondrial Ca2+ pathway and lowered the Mitochondrial Membrane Potentials (MMP), leading to cell death. To simulate the lung environment in vitro, mixed dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and ZnO nanoparticles (1:1) were incubated for 72 hours and then cytotoxicity was evaluated on HPAEpiC. Results showed that the cell viability was significantly increased, which proved that the DPPC effectively inhibited the toxicity of ZnO nanoparticles.

The protein corona of nanodiamonds is dominated by low molecular weight proteins and is largely independent of surface chemistry. The pre-incubation of nanodiamonds in serum and the formation of a protein corona decrease the production of reactive oxygen species, increasing the cell viability of macrophages.
