Toxicity of silver nanoparticles in human macrophages: uptake, intracellular distribution and cellular responses
Silver nanoparticles (SNP) are among the most commercialized nanoparticles worldwide. They can be found in many diverse products, mostly because of their antibacterial properties. Despite its widespread use only little data on possible adverse health effects exist. It is difficult to compare biological data from different studies due to the great variety in sizes, coatings or shapes of the part...
متن کاملCarbohydrate functionalization of silver nanoparticles modulates cytotoxicity and cellular uptake
BACKGROUND Increasing use of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) in various products is resulting in a greater likelihood of human exposure to these materials. Nevertheless, little is still known about the influence of carbohydrates on the toxicity and cellular uptake of nanoparticles. METHODS Ag-NPs functionalized with three different monosaccharides and ethylene glycol were synthesized and charac...
متن کاملSize-Dependent Toxicity of Silver Nanoparticles to Bacteria, Yeast, Algae, Crustaceans and Mammalian Cells In Vitro
The concept of nanotechnologies is based on size-dependent properties of particles in the 1-100 nm range. However, the relation between the particle size and biological effects is still unclear. The aim of the current paper was to generate and analyse a homogenous set of experimental toxicity data on Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) of similar coating (citrate) but of 5 different primary sizes (10, 20...
متن کاملSynergistic cellular toxicity and uptake effects of iodixanol conjugated to anionic linear globular dendrimer G2
Objective(s): Early diagnosis of cancer using noninvasive imaging techniques has been discussed in several recent studies. The present study aimed to assess the synergistic effects of iodixanol-conjugated polyethylene glycol (PEG)-citrate (anionic linear globular) dendrimer G2 on MCF-7 breast cancer cells and human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells. Materials and Methods: PEG-citrate de...
متن کاملSilver nanoparticles: correlating nanoparticle size and cellular uptake with genotoxicity.
The focus of this research was to develop a better understanding of the pertinent physico-chemical properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) that affect genotoxicity, specifically how cellular uptake influences a genotoxic cell response. The genotoxicity of AgNPs was assessed for three potential mechanisms: mutagenicity, clastogenicity and DNA strand-break-based DNA damage. Mutagenicity (rever...
