Antitumor Potential of S-Nitrosothiol-Containing Polymeric Nanoparticles against Melanoma

Ferraz LS, Watashi CM, Colturato-Kido C, Pelegrino MT, Paredes-Gamero EJ, Weller RB, Seabra AB, Rodrigues T (2018) Antitumor Potential of S-Nitrosothiol-Containing Polymeric Nanoparticles against Melanoma. Mol Pharm 15(3):1160-1168. doi: 10.1021/acs.molpharmaceut.7b01001 PMID: 29378125

Objective: To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying chitosan nanoparticles containing S-nitrosomercaptosuccinic acid (S-nitroso-MSA-CS) induced cytotoxicity in melanoma cells.

Summary: Melanoma cells were more sensitive to cell death than normal melanocytes. S-Nitroso-MSA-CS-induced cytotoxicity exhibited features of caspase-dependent apoptosis, and it was associated with oxidative stress, characterized by increased mitochondrial superoxide production and oxidation of protein thiol groups.

Usage: Immunostaining (1:200)
