In recent years, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have attracted significant attention in medicinal, biomedical and pharmaceutical research owing to their valuable physicochemical and antibacterial properties. The objective of this study was to prepare, characterize and evaluate the potential of green synthesized silver nanoparticles (G-AgNPs) against human pathogenic bacteria and evaluate their cellular responses in WS1 wounded cells in combination with laser irradiation (830 nm, fluence of 5 J/cm2). When the mixture of silver nitrate solution and leaf sap extract (LSE) was exposed to direct sunlight, it yielded a rapid color change from colorless to reddish-brown, indicating the formation of G-AgNPs. Physicochemical characterization such as single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, high resolution transmission electron microscopy and surface chemistry studies (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction) revealed a small size of 38�±2 nm, smooth surface and existence of LSE on the G-AgNPs. G-AgNPs possessed good antibacterial activity against both Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. In vitro wound healing studies such as cell morphology, cell migration, cell proliferation, cell apoptosis and nuclear morphology studies were investigated in WS1 cells. Overall, these results suggest that the use of G-AgNPs and in combination with laser shows great potential to heal wounds in in vitro, and this combined therapy did not show any toxicity to the cells. Thus, the present study reveals that the novel G-AgNPs demonstrated effective antibacterial properties against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial strains, and G-AgNPs in combination with photobiomodulation showed excellent wound healing properties in WS1 cells.
