Abstract
Micelle Encapsulation Zinc-doped copper oxide nanocomposites (MEnZn-CuO NPs) is a novel doped metal nanomaterial prepared by our group based on Zinc doped copper oxide nanocomposites (Zn-CuO NPs) using non-micellar beam. Compared with Zn-CuO NPs, MEnZn-CuO NPs have uniform nanoproperties and high stability. In this study, we explored the anticancer effects of MEnZn-CuO NPs on human ovarian cancer cells. In addition to affecting cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis and autophagy, MEnZn-CuO NPs have a greater potential for clinical application by inducing HR repair defects in ovarian cancer cells in combination with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors for lethal effects.
