    Nanostructured selenium anti-cancer coatings for orthopedic applications

    No full text
    This chapter presents a comprehensive study of the potential of nanometer structured selenium for decreasing cancer cell functions. Specifically, in this study, selenium nanoclusters were coated on orthopedic implant metals (such as titanium and stainless steel). The coatings were fully characterized using techniques such as electron scanning microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and contact angle measurements. Most importantly, compared with uncoated metals, the coatings on orthopedic metals promoted healthy bone cell functions. Moreover, cancerous bone cell functions were inhibited on selenium nanocluster coatings compared to uncoated metals. This study also examined the possible mechanisms of the promoted healthy bone-cell properties of selenium nanocluster coatings on metals. It was shown that the increased nanometer roughness of the selenium coated surfaces promoted the adsorption of fibronectin (which is one of the most important cell adhesive proteins that regulate interactions between osteoblasts and an implant surface). The experimental results of protein adsorption were complemented by results from computer simulation. The anti-cancer properties of selenium nanocluster coatings were attributed to selenium released from the coatings into cell culture media to induce cellular thiol depletion which caused cell death in cancerous osteosarcoma cells. In conclusion, this work demonstrates a number of promising directions for using nanometer scale structured selenium in diverse biomedical applications (including bone-promoting and cancer-inhibiting)
