Herein, it is demonstrated that the toxic effect of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) on three different cancer cell lines (U-118 and LN-299 glioblastoma and HCT-116 colon) depends on their absorption dynamics by cells, related to the shapes of the NPs. This hypothesis is confirmed by showing that i) based on refractive index (RI) values, typical for cell components and gold nanoparticles, it is possible to show the absorption dynamics and accumulation locations of the latter ones inside and outside of the cells. Moreover, ii) the saturation of the accumulated Au NPs volume in the cells depends on the nanoparticle shape and is reached in the shortest time for star-shaped Au NPs (AuS NPs) and in the longest time for spherical Au NPs (AuSph NPs) and on the cancer cells, where the longest and the shortest saturation are noticed for HCT-116 and LN-229 cells, respectively. A physical model of Au NPs absorption dynamics is proposed, where the diameter and shape of the Au NPs are used as parameters. The obtained theoretical data are consistent with experimental data in 85-98%.
