Metallic oxide nanoparticle translocation across human bronchial epithelial barrier – Supplementary information

چکیده
16 nm-SiO2-FITC NPs production was performed in one step by adding a solution of 5 mL of fluorescent organosilane solution previously prepared mixed with 240 mL of ethanol 20 and 5 mL of TEOS into a 2 L round bottom flask containing 650 mL of EtOH, 2.4 mL of water and 24.1 mL of ammonia. The solution was let to react overnight at room temperature (RT) in the dark. 16 nm-SiO2-FITC NPs were purified against ultrapure water (18 MΩ) by tangential ultrafiltration with an 25 Amicon system (Millipore, Billerica, USA) equipped with a membrane of 100 kDa cut-off until disappearance of fluorescence in the filtrate. Batches of bigger sizes were purified by centrifugation. Before, ammonia and ethanol were removed from the medium by rotative evaporation at 40°C at 30 the end of the synthesis. The fluorescent particles were extensively washed by centrifugation against ultrapure water at 13,000 g for 15 min until disappearance of fluorescence in the supernatant. Estimation of silica concentrations in the dispersion was carried out by Inductively Coupled Plasma 35 (ICP) using an ICP Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICPOES) and a gravimetric method. For the production of 50and 100 nm-SiO2-FITC NPs, please refer to Vranic et al., 2013a1.

Phosphorylation of p65 Is Required for Zinc Oxide Nanoparticle–Induced Interleukin 8 Expression in Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells
BACKGROUND Exposure to zinc oxide (ZnO) in environmental and occupational settings causes acute pulmonary responses through the induction of proinflammatory mediators such as interleukin-8 (IL-8). OBJECTIVE We investigated the effect of ZnO nanoparticles on IL-8 expression and the underlying mechanisms in human bronchial epithelial cells. METHODS We determined IL-8 mRNA and protein expressi...
متن کاملAssessment of an in vitro model of pulmonary barrier to study the translocation of nanoparticles
As the lung is one of the main routes of exposure to manufactured nanoparticles, we developed an in vitro model resembling the alveolo-capillary barrier for the study of nanoparticle translocation. In order to provide a relevant and ethical in vitro model, cost effective and easy-to-implement human cell lines were used. Pulmonary epithelial cells (Calu-3 cell line) and macrophages (THP-1 differ...
متن کاملBidirectional Transfer Study of Polystyrene Nanoparticles across the Placental Barrier in an ex Vivo Human Placental Perfusion Model.
BACKGROUND Nanoparticle exposure in utero might not be a major concern yet, but it could become more important with the increasing application of nanomaterials in consumer and medical products. Several epidemiologic and in vitro studies have shown that nanoparticles can have potential toxic effects. However, nanoparticles also offer the opportunity to develop new therapeutic strategies to treat...
متن کاملComparison study of ferrofluid and powder iron oxide nanoparticle permeability across the blood–brain barrier
In the present study, the permeability of 11 different iron oxide nanoparticle (IONP) samples (eight fluids and three powders) was determined using an in vitro blood-brain barrier model. Importantly, the results showed that the ferrofluid formulations were statistically more permeable than the IONP powder formulations at the blood-brain barrier, suggesting a role for the presently studied in si...
متن کاملLow uptake of silica nanoparticles in Caco-2 intestinal epithelial barriers
Cellular barriers, such as the skin, the lung epithelium or the intestinal epithelium, constitute one of the first obstacles facing nanomedicines or other nanoparticles entering organisms. It is thus important to assess the capacity of nanoparticles to enter and transport across such barriers. In this work, Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells were used as a well-established model for the intesti...
