•A method of panthenol-stabilized ceria nanoparticles synthesis was developed.•Panthenol/CeO2 protects cells from ROS/UV better than individual panthenol or CeO2.•The degree of protection is determined by panthenol-to-ceria molar ratio.•Panthenol/CeO2 contributes to survival of cells both before and after UV irradiation.
A method of panthenol-stabilized cerium dioxide nanoparticles synthesis was developed and their effect on the survival rate of human epidermoid cancer cells HEp-2 and diploid epithelial swine testicular cell line (ST-cells) under oxidative stress conditions induced by hydrogen peroxide introduction and UV irradiation was studied. The results obtained indicate that the use of panthenol as a stabilizer supposedly provides a substantial increase in the efficiency of protection. The degree of protection is determined by panthenol-to-ceria molar ratio. The combination of panthenol and nano-ceria protects biological objects under study from reactive oxygen species (ROS) and UV-irradiation more effectively than individual panthenol or ceria. The protective action of panthenol-stabilized cerium dioxide nanoparticles depends strongly on their composition and the means of their application.
