Özet
In this study, we have investigated the chemotherapeutic potential of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles on skin and breast cancer cells. The cells have treated with a 75 µg/ml concentration of titanium dioxide because it is a recommended dose with proven effectiveness in vitro studies and then the cells were exposed to UV-A radiation. The combined effects of titanium dioxide and UV-A radiation on cell viability, cell cycle, plasma membrane, mitochondrial membrane potentials and apoptotic activity of the cells were investigated. The viability of SK-MEL 30 cells was measured by MTT assay and apoptotic activity of cells was determined by Annexin-V FITC/PI staining. As a result of the research, an increase was observed in the viability of cells treated with 75 µg/ml titanium dioxide concentration, while a significant decrease in cell viability was observed for both cell types when UV-A radiation and TiO2 were applied together. The results also showed that the percentage of apoptotic cells increased as a result of UV + TiO2 exposure. Accordingly, it can be said that TiO2 nanoparticles may research as potential chemotherapeutic agents for skin and breast cancers, especially in the presence of UV radiation.
