In the current experimental work, silver chloride nanoparticles (AgClNPs) were fabricated using Onopordum acanthium L extract and their apoptotic and cytotoxicity properties on breast cancer MDA_MB232 and normal HEK293 cell lines were also evaluated. AgClNPs formation was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) profile. Effect of fabricated AgClNPs on MDA_MB232 and HEK293 cells viability was performed using colorimetric MTT assay. Alterations in the mRNA expression levels of CAD and Bax genes in MDA-MB-232 cells were done using quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR) method. Subsequently, apoptotic properties were determined using flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy studies. MTT results investigated that AgCLNPs have a significant dose-dependent lethal activity on MDA_MB232 compared to HEK293 cell lines. Quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR) results have also shown that AgCLNPs could up-regulate the apoptotic Bax and CAD gene expressions in the MDA_MB232 cells. Additionally, apoptotic assessment was performed by cell cycle analysis, annexin V/PI test, Hoescht 33258 dye, acridine orange and ethidium bromide (AO/EB) staining along with the detection of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Our results suggest that novel silver chloride nanoparticles fabricated by Onopordum acanthium L extract can display some promising cytotoxic properties through inducing apoptosis pathway.
