Abstract Hyperthermia is one of the most patient-friendly methods to cure cancer diseases owing to its noninvasiveness, minimally induced side-effects and toxicity, and easy implementation, prompting the development of novel therapeutic methods like photothermally triggering dose system. This research herein interrogates the variables of photothermal effects of Cs0.33WO3 nanoparticles (NPs), the duration of irradiation, optical power density and NP concentration, upon HepG2 liver cancer cell line in vitro, leading to the formulation of a near-infrared (NIR)-irradiated thermal dose. Expressly, the NPs with particulate feature sizes of 120 nm were synthesized through a series of oxidation–reduction (REDOX) reaction, thermal annealing and wet-grinding processes, and the subsequent characterization of physical, compositional, optical, photothermal properties were examined using dynamic light scattering (DLS), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), scanning and tunneling electron microscopies (SEM and TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and visible-near-infrared (VIS–NIR) photospectroscopy. Cytotoxicity of the NPs and its irradiation parameters were obtained for the HepG2 cells. By incubating the cells with the NPs, the state of endocytosis was verified, and the dependence of cellular survival rate on the variable parameters of photothermal dose was determined while maintaining the medium temperature of the cell-containing culture dish at human body temperature around 36.5 °C. |
