Anti-leukemia activity of PVP-coated silver nanoparticles via generation of reactive oxygen species and release of silver ions

TLDR
It is found that AgNPs could inhibit the viability of AML cells including the isolates from AML patients, and supported the model that both generation of ROS and release of silver ions played critical roles in the AgnPs-induced cytotoxic effect against AMl cells.

Human acute myeloid leukemia is organized as a hierarchy that originates from a primitive hematopoietic cell

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the cell capable of initiating human AML in non-obese diabetic mice with severe combined immunodeficiency disease (NOD/SCID mice) — termed the SCID leukemia-initiating cell, or SL-IC — possesses the differentiate and proliferative capacities and the potential for self-renewal expected of a leukemic stem cell.

Cytotoxicity and Genotoxicity of Silver Nanoparticles in Human Cells

TL;DR: A possible mechanism of toxicity is proposed which involves disruption of the mitochondrial respiratory chain by Ag-np leading to production of ROS and interruption of ATP synthesis, which in turn cause DNA damage.

Oxidative DNA damage: mechanisms, mutation, and disease

TL;DR: This review critically addresses the extent to which the in vitro significance of oxidative DNA damage has relevance for the pathogenesis of disease, drawing attention to the multiplicity of proteins with repair activities along with a number of poorly considered effects of damage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unique cellular interaction of silver nanoparticles: size-dependent generation of reactive oxygen species.

TL;DR: A size-dependent toxicity was produced by silver nanoparticles, and one predominant mechanism of toxicity was found to be largely mediated through oxidative stress.

Ion Release Kinetics and Particle Persistence in Aqueous Nano-Silver Colloids

TL;DR: An empirical kinetic law is proposed that reproduces the observed effects of dissolution time, pH, humic/fulvic acid content, and temperature observed here in the low range of nanosilver concentration most relevant for the environment.
