Biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles using Vetex negundo and evaluation of pro-apoptotic effect on human gastric cancer cell lines.

Gastric cancer (GC) is mainly widespread gastrointestinal malignancy,which reports for 8% of overallcases in carcinogenesis and 10% of yearly fatality, is 4thprimary cause of cancer associated death global. The plan of the present research was to develop ethanolic extract of Vitex negundo-loaded gold nanoparticles (VN-AuNPs) and to appraise the various characteristic methods likes UV-vis spectroscopy, SAED, FTIR, XRD and HR-TEM. Additionally, the anticancer effect of VN-AuNPs on AGS cells were analysed by cell viability, apoptotic morphological changes by TUNEL, AO/EtBr and Hoechst staining, alterations of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and production reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, the status of apoptosis gene such as caspase-3, Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, Bax and caspase-9 expressions was analysed by using western and RT-PCR techniques. Synthesized AuNPs established by UV absorption peak of the highest at 538 and crystal nature of AuNPs was additionallyverifiedwith SAED and XRD. TEM images were illustrates size and morphological division of NPs. FTIR examinationscompletedalkene, carbodiimide and aliphatic primary amines of biomolecules werepresent in synthesized VN-AuNPs. Additionally, AuNPs were stimulatedapoptosis throughthe cytotoxicity effect,changes of MMP, generation of ROS, nuclear and apoptotic morphological alterationsvia TUNEL, AO/EtBr and Hoechst assay. Furthermore, molecular mechanisms also provoked apoptosis through modulating pro (caspase-3, Bax, Bid, caspase-9) and anti-apoptotic (Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL) mediators by western blotting and gene expression in AGS cells. This production of AuNPs from VN was eco-friendly, large-scaled up and easy.
