Abstrakt: Metal oxide nanoparticles(NPs) contain unique properties which have made them attractive agents in cancer treatment. The CuO nanoparticles were green synthesized using walnut shell powder in different calcination temperatures (400°, 500°, 700°, and 900 °C). The CuO nanoparticles are characterized by FTIR, XRD, BET, SEM and DLS analyses. SEM and DLS analyses showed that by increasing the required calcination temperature for synthesizing the NPs, their size was increased. DPPH analysis displayed no significant anti-oxidative properties of the CuO NPs. The MTT analysis showed that all synthesized CuO NPs exhibited cytotoxic effects on MCF-7, HCT-116, and HEK-293 cell lines. Among the CuO NPs, the CuO-900 NPs showed the least cytotoxic effect on the HEK-293 cell line (IC 50  = 330.8 µg/ml). Hoechst staining and real-time analysis suggested that the CuO-900 NPs induced apoptosis by elevation of p53 and Bax genes expression levels. Also, the CuO-900 NPs increased the Nrf-2 gene expression level in MCF-7 cells, despite the HCT-116 cells. As can be concluded from the results, the CuO-900 NPs exerted promising cytotoxic effects on breast and colon cancer cells.
