Targeting Human Adenocarcinoma Breast and
Cervical Cell Lines with Metal Nanoparticles
Biosynthesized using Casuarina glauca Conjugated with Pyrogallol
I would like to prepare an introduction (research topic) and a literature review, ensuring that each is presented in a separate Word file.
Introduction:
• The introduction should be in a separate file from the Literature Review and should be at least 20 pages long.
• It should be written in an academically sound and scientific style, with proper citation of references following the APA format.
• The content must be rephrased into an academic style without using direct quotations.
• The introduction should focus on the research questions, hypotheses, and their scientific significance.
Literature Review:
• The Literature Review should be in a separate file and should be no less than 30 pages.
• It should emphasize addressing the research questions and explaining the studied hypotheses.
• A comprehensive analysis of previous experiments related to the topic should be included.
• References must be properly cited in an academic format, avoiding direct quotations as much as possible, and the content should be rephrased in a scientific manner.
Experiments to Focus On:
• Plant collection and extraction
• Green synthesis of metal nanoparticles using plant extract
• LC-MASS analysis
• Molecular docking
• Cell viability and toxicity assay
• Apoptosis/necrosis detection
• Cell cycle arrest assays
• Gene expression assay (P53, BAX, and BCL2 genes)
• Western blot analysis
Research Question:
How effective are pyrogallol-conjugated metal nanoparticles derived from Casuarina equisetifolia in
targeting and inhibiting the growth of human adenocarcinoma breast and cervical cell lines?
Objectives of Research:
• Synthesize Metal Nanoparticles: To synthesize metal nanoparticles from Casuarina equisetifolia
and characterize their structural and functional properties, including size, morphology, and surface
chemistry.
• Conjugate with Pyrogallol: To effectively conjugate pyrogallol to the synthesized metal
nanoparticles, optimizing the binding process for enhanced therapeutic efficacy.
• Assess Cytotoxicity: To evaluate the cytotoxic effects of the pyrogallol-conjugated metal
nanoparticles on human adenocarcinoma breast and cervical cell lines using cell viability assays.
• Investigate Mechanisms of Action: To explore the mechanisms through which these nanoparticles
induce apoptosis and inhibit cell proliferation in adenocarcinoma cell lines, including the analysis
of relevant signaling pathways.
• Evaluate Combination Therapy Potential: To investigate the effectiveness of the nanoparticles in
combination with Pyrogallol, assessing synergistic effects and potential enhancements in treatment
outcomes.
Hypothesis:
• Pyrogallol-conjugated metal nanoparticles derived from Casuarina equisetifolia significantly
inhibit the proliferation of human adenocarcinoma breast and cervical cell lines compared to
untreated controls.
• The mechanism of action of these nanoparticles involves the induction of apoptosis in
adenocarcinoma cell lines through specific cellular signalling pathways.
• The metal nanoparticles selectively target adenocarcinoma cells while exhibiting minimal
toxicity to normal healthy cells.
Research Questions:
• What are the specific characteristics (size, shape, surface charge) of the metal nanoparticles
synthesized by Casuarina equisetifolia?
• How do pyrogallol-conjugated metal nanoparticles affect the viability and proliferation of human
adenocarcinoma breast and cervical cell lines compared to standard treatments?
• What cellular mechanisms are involved in the apoptosis induced by these nanoparticles in
adenocarcinoma cell lines?
• Do pyrogallol-conjugated metal nanoparticles enhance the effectiveness of existing therapy
agents when used in combination therapies?
