The cytotoxicity and DNA damage of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles (TiO and ZnO NPs) have been studied in a human lung carcinoma cell line (A549) after 24 h exposure. TiO and ZnO NPs had mean diameters of 12.9 ± 2.8 and 24.1 ± 8.0 nm, respectively. ZnO NPs reduced cell viability from 250 μg/mL, increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and decreased GSH/GSSG ratio. The comet assay detected DNA damage from 50 μg/mL. TiO NPs induced cytotoxicity and DNA damage from 50 to 100 μg/mL, respectively, along with a decrease of the GSH/GSSG ratio. Both particles were found inside the cells, within membrane-bound vesicles. The internalization mechanism is promoted partially by caveolae-mediated endocytosis and, in the case of TiO NPs, also by macropinocytosis.
在暴露24小时后,研究了二氧化钛和氧化锌纳米颗粒(TiO和ZnO NPs)对人肺癌细胞系(A549)的细胞毒性和DNA损伤。TiO和ZnO NPs的平均直径分别为12.9±2.8和24.1±8.0纳米。ZnO NPs在250μg/mL时降低细胞活力,增加活性氧(ROS)并降低GSH/GSSG比值。彗星试验检测到50μg/mL时的DNA损伤。TiO NPs分别在50至100μg/mL时诱导细胞毒性和DNA损伤,同时GSH/GSSG比值降低。两种颗粒都存在于细胞内的膜结合囊泡中。内化机制部分由小窝介导的内吞作用促进,对于TiO NPs,还由巨胞饮作用促进。
