Therefore, more effective new treatment strategies for colon cancer are needed. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized using plant extracts have shown therapeutic applications and make it to be a good anti-cancer candidates. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-metastatic and anti-cancer activity of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles from Rosa canina extract on the human colon adenocarcinoma cell line HT29. The biosynthesis of AgNPs was carried out using Rosa canina extract. R-AgNPs were characterized by techniques such as UV-vis spectrophotometer and scaining electron microscopy (SEM). HT29 cells were incubated with different concentrations of AgNPs (0-20 µg/mL) for 48 h. The cytotoxic activity of the synthesized R-AgNPs against human colon adenocarcinoma cells HT29 was investigated by MTT assay and the IC50 value were found to be 7,89 µg/mL at 48 h incubation. Anti-metastatic potential of R-AgNPs were determined on HT29 cells using scratch assay. R-AgNPs induced a significant decrease of cell motility in dose-dependent manner. In conlusion, these findings suggest that the biosynthesized AgNPs may be promising new therapeutic agents for the treatment of human colon cancer.}, number={2}, publisher={Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University}
