Molecular and Cellular Risk Assessment of Healthy Human Cells and Cancer Human Cells Exposed to Nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: : Nanodrugs have in recent years been a subject of great debate. In 2017 alone, almost 50 nanodrugs were approved for clinical use worldwide. Despite the advantages related to nanodrugs/nanomedicine, there is still a lack of information regarding the biological safety, as the real behavior of these nanodrugs in the body. In order to better understand these aspects, in this study, we evaluated the effect of polylactic acid (PLA) nanoparticles (NPs) and magnetic core mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MMSN), of 1000 nm and 50 nm, respectively, on human cells. In this direction we evaluated the cell cycle, cytochemistry, proliferation and tubulogenesis on tumor cells lines: from melanoma (MV3), breast cancer (MCF-7, MDA-MB-213), glioma (U373MG), prostate (PC3), gastric (AGS) and colon adenocarc
