Apoptotic Impact of Heliox Cold Plasma on a Cervical Cell Line Using Gold Nanoparticle-Doped Graphene Oxide Nanosheets.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Invasive cervical cancer is recognized as the second most common malignancy in women after breast cancer.

Objectives

This study investigates, for the first time, the effect of gold nanoparticle-doped graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets on the human epithelial carcinoma (HeLa) cell line in the presence of heliox cold plasma.

Methods

Graphene oxide nanosheets were synthesized using the Hummer method and then doped with gold nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the diffraction peaks of GO and gold nanoparticles were confirmed through X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Additionally, the optical absorbance of the nanoparticles was measured in the range of 200 - 900 nm using UV-Visible spectroscopy. A plasma
