Abstract
This study used Raman spectroscopy and genotoxicity/cytotoxicity assays to investigate the synthesized hybrid silver nanoparticles (Ag@LM/ICG NPs) and their effects on human lymphocytes. Raman spectroscopy was employed to obtain detailed chemical information on Ag@LM/ICG NPs and biochemical insights into untreated and Ag@LM/ICG NPs-treated lymphocytes. While average Raman spectra of NPs-treated cells showed no visible changes at the single-cell level, Raman mapping revealed a high background of some spectra, suggesting the presence of NPs within cells and/or NPs-induced cell structure alterations. Complementary cytotoxicity and genotoxicity assessments showed that Ag@LM/ICG NPs are non-cytotoxic and non-genotoxic to human lymphocytes at the tested concentration range, with cell viability exceeding 84%. These findings underscore the safety and potential of Ag@LM/ICG NPs as biocompatible agents for biomedical applications.
期刊介绍:
Spectrochimica Acta, Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy (SAA) is an interdisciplinary journal which spans from basic to applied aspects of optical spectroscopy in chemistry, medicine, biology, and materials science.
The journal publishes original scientific papers that feature high-quality spectroscopic data and analysis. From the broad range of optical spectroscopies, the emphasis is on electronic, vibrational or rotational spectra of molecules, rather than on spectroscopy based on magnetic moments.
Criteria for publication in SAA are novelty, uniqueness, and outstanding quality. Routine applications of spectroscopic techniques and computational methods are not appropriate.
Topics of particular interest of Spectrochimica Acta Part A include, but are not limited to:
Spectroscopy and dynamics of bioanalytical, biomedical, environmental, and atmospheric sciences,
Novel experimental techniques or instrumentation for molecular spectroscopy,
Novel theoretical and computational methods,
Novel applications in photochemistry and photobiology,
Novel interpretational approaches as well as advances in data analysis based on electronic or vibrational spectroscopy.
