▎ 摘  要

Objective(s): Nanotechnology has helped a lot in diagnosing and treating multiple illnesses, specifically cancer, and increasing the development of targeted drug delivery methods. Nanocomposites are materials with at least one component smaller than 100 nm. Therefore, this study aims to assess the anticancer effects of silver-graphene nanocomposite on MCF-7. Materials and Methods: In this study, the rate of inhibition of cancer cell growth and production of reactive oxygen radicals, malondialdehyde, and glutathione stores in MCF7 cells were investigated. Cancer cells were exposed to nano particles for 48 hr. Silver nanoparticles and graphene both reduced the growth rate of MCF-7. Results: Subsequently, by treating the cells with silver-graphene nanocomposite, the rate of inhibition of cell growth at the highest concentration was 84.60%. Nanoparticles also inhibited the growth of cancer cells through the oxidative stress pathway by increasing the amount of intracellular ROS, followed by increasing malondialdehyde and decreasing glutathione stores, so that at the highest combined concentration of nanoparticles, the amounts of LPO and ROS increased up to 70% and 74 %, and glutathione reserves decreased by 16%. Conclusion: Treatment of MCF-7 cells with silver or graphene nanoparticles and combination treatment with these two substances against cisplatin have sound effects, and by affecting oxidative stress factors, such as increased ROS and subsequent increase in lipid membrane damage, inhibit cell growth and proliferation. According to the mathematical model, silver graphene nanocomposite> silver nanoparticles> graphene has the best effect in inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, respectively.
