(a) Dose dependent Cytotoxic effect of Ds-AgNPs on HT-29 human colon cancer cell by MTT assay. (b) Cytotoxic effect of AgNPs on HT-29 human colon cancer cells and its Morphological changes of HT-29 cells observed under an inverted light microscope. (A) Untreated HT-29 cells. (B) HT-29 cells t0reated with 50ug of AgNPs after 24 h. (C) HT-29 cells treated with 50ug of AgNPs after 48 h. (D) HT-29 cells treated with 50ug of AgNPs after 72 h. After 72 h the cells showed distinctive characteristics of apoptosis, such as apoptotic bodies (AB), cellular shrinkage (CS), nuclear compaction (NC), membrane blebbing (MB), and nuclear fragmentation (NF) (magnification ×100).
