Manganese dioxide nanoparticles mitigate oxidative stress in osteoarthritic cartilage

Oxidative Stress-Induced DNA Damage by Manganese Dioxide Nanoparticles in Human Neuronal Cells

Metal nanoparticles have been extensively used in industry as well as in biomedical application. In this work, we have evaluated the toxic potential of manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanoparticles (MNPs) on human neuronal (SH-SY5Y) cells. Cellular toxicity due to MNPs (0, 10, 30, and 60 μg/ml) on the SH-SY5Y cell was observed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and n...

Cartilage in osteoarthritic joints is not automatically osteoarthritic cartilage.

Comparison of manganese oxide nanoparticles and manganese sulfate with regard to oxidative stress, uptake and apoptosis in alveolar epithelial cells.

Due to their physicochemical characteristics, metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) interact differently with cells compared to larger particles or soluble metals. Oxidative stress and cellular metal uptake were quantified in rat type II alveolar epithelial cells in culture exposed to three different NPs: manganese(II,III) oxide nanoparticles (Mn(3)O(4)-NPs), the soluble manganese sulfate (Mn-salt) a...

Oxidative Transformation of Controlled Substances by Manganese Dioxide

This study investigated the oxidative transformation of four controlled substances (ketamine, methamphetamine, morphine, and codeine) by synthesized MnO2 (δ-MnO2) in aqueous environments. The results indicated that ketamine and methamphetamine were negligibly oxidized by MnO2 and, thus, may be persistent in the aqueous environment. However, morphine and codeine were able to be oxidized by MnO2,...

Tiron ameliorates oxidative stress and inflammation in titanium dioxide nanoparticles induced nephrotoxicity of male rats.

Although the widespread use of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs), few studies were conducted on its hazard influence on human health. Tiron a synthetic vitamin E analog was proven to be a mitochondrial targeting antioxidant. The current investigation was performed to assess the efficacy of tiron against TiO2 NPs induced nephrotoxicity. Eighty adult male rats divided into four different ...
