In vitro toxicological assessment of MgO and Silica Nanoparticle in human colon carcinoma cells
The use of nanoparticles (NPs) has been extended to many fields such as agriculture, food industry, medicine and biotechnological fields. Thereby, human exposure to NPs consequently increases. Therefore, there is a concern about the potential biological effects and toxicity of NPs for humans and the environment. This study aimed to investigate the cytotoxicity effects of magnesium oxide (MgO) a...
متن کاملMultifactorial determinants that govern nanoparticle uptake by human endothelial cells under flow
Vascular endothelium is a potential target for therapeutic intervention in diverse pathological processes, including inflammation, atherosclerosis, and thrombosis. By virtue of their intravascular topography, endothelial cells are exposed to dynamically changing mechanical forces that are generated by blood flow. In the present study, we investigated the interactions of negatively charged 2.7 n...
متن کاملOn-demand cellular uptake of cysteine conjugated gadolinium based mesoporous silica nanoparticle with breast cancer-cells
Design, synthesis, and conjugation of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with biomolecules is a matter of growing interest to enhance selective uptake of contrast agents like gadolinium (Gd3+) by cancer cells. Here, by targeting xc-cystine/glutamate antiporter system in breast cancer cells, conjugation of MSN-Gd3+ with cysteine is used to enhance cancer cellular uptake of Gd3+. Reactions de...
متن کاملMechanical stresses keep endothelial cells healthy: beneficial effects of a physiological level of cyclic stretch on endothelial barrier function.
THE CELLS OF OUR BODIES LIVE in a sea of chemical and mechanical stimuli. A cell can be stimulated by a variety of molecules dissolved in body fluids as well as by the extracellular matrix and molecules expressed on the surface of other cells. These molecules (or ligands) are recognized by specific receptors, most of which are transmembrane proteins. Ligand binding activates receptor molecules,...
متن کاملCYCLIC NUCLEOTIDES CONTROL DIFFERENTIATION OF HUMAN MONOCYTES INTO EITHER HIGHLY ACCESSORY CELLS OR MACROPHAGES
Human peripheral blood monocytes have been found to undergo a transitory state of high accessory activity before they fully become macrophages. Time kinetics were done to follow this accessory potential. Studying the regulation of accessory activity, we have found that monocyte derived accessory cells (m-AC) pass through two phases of development, both of which are adversely controlled by ...
