Short-term changes in intracellular ROS localisation after the silver nanoparticles exposure depending on particle size

چکیده
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) induce the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis. These effects are enhanced by smaller particles. Using live-cell imaging, we show that AgNPs induced ROS production rapidly in a size-dependent manner after exposure of cells to 70-nm and 1-nm AgNPs (AgNPs-70, AgNPs-1), but not AgNO3. Exposure of cells to 5 μg/mL each of AgNPs-70, AgNPs-1 or AgNO3 for 1 h decreased the cell viability by approximately 40%, 100% and 20%, respectively. ROS were rapidly induced after 5 and 60 min by AgNPs-1 and AgNPs-70, respectively, whereas AgNO3 had no detectable effect. ROS production detected using the reporter dichlorodihydrofluorescein was observed in whole cells and mitochondria 5 and 60 min after exposure to AgNPs-1. The present study is the first, to our knowledge, to report the temporal expression and intracellular localisation of ROS induced by AgNPs.

The effects of an exposure to three mass-produced metal oxide nanoparticles-similar in size and specific surface area but different in redox activity and solubility-were studied in rat alveolar macrophages (MAC) and epithelial cells (AEC). We hypothesized that the cell response depends on the particle redox activity and solubility determining the amount of reactive oxygen species formation (ROS...
