(A,B) Real-time gene expression profiling of SeNPs treated and untreated LNCaP cells was performed. Significant dose-dependent fold change (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001) was observed in the expression of IRF1, TNF, PSA, and AR gene in LNCaP cells on SeNP treatment. The experiment was conducted in triplicate. (C) LNCaP cells were cultured in the presence of 2 μg Se/ml SeNPs along with 20, 50, or 100 μM Necrostatin-1 for 24 h. Cell viability determined with MTT assay showed more viable cells in wells treated with SeNP along with Necrostatin-1 compared to SeNP treated cells. Cell viability was directly proportional to the concentration of Necrostatin-1 used. The results were confirmed by three repetitions of experiments and each experiment was conducted in triplicate. ****p < 0.0001 represents a significant difference in the viability of LNCaP cell treated with SeNP or SeNP with 100 μM Necrostatin-1.
