Cytotoxicity, DNA damage, and apoptosis induced by titanium dioxide nanoparticles in human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells
Concerns about the risk of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO₂NPs) to human health and environment are gradually increasing due to their wide range of applications. In this study, cytotoxicity, DNA damage, and apoptosis induced by TiO₂NPs (5 nm) in A549 cells were investigated. The 3-(4,5-dimethylt...

A statistically significant (p < 0.05) induction in DNA damage was observed by the comet assay in cells exposed to 50 to 200 μg/mL TiO₂NPs for 48 h. A significant (p < 0.05) induction in micronucleus formation determined by 4,6-diamino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining was also observed at the above concentrations. Typical apoptotic morphological feature and apoptotic bodies in A549 cells induced by TiO₂NPs at the above concentrations were observed by scanning electron micrographs. Flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that the cells treated with TiO₂NPs at concentrations of 100 and 200 μg/mL showed a significant G₂/M phase arrest and a significant increased proportion of apoptotic cells. TiO₂NPs also disrupted the mitochondrial membrane potential evaluated by rhodamine 123 staining. Further analysis by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) indicated that the expression of caspase-3 and caspase-9 messenger RNA (mRNA) was increased significantly at the concentrations of 100 and 200 μg/mL TiO₂NPs for 48 h. Taken together, these findings suggest that TiO₂NPs can inhibit A549 cell proliferation, cause DNA damage, and induce apoptosis via a mechanism primarily involving the activation of the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway. The assay data provide strong evidence that TiO₂NPs can induce cytotoxicity, significant DNA damage, and apoptosis of A549 cells, suggesting that exposure to TiO₂NPs could cause cell injury and be hazardous to health.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0944-1344</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1614-7499</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1007/s11356-014-3717-7</identifier><identifier>PMID: 25339530</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Berlin/Heidelberg: Springer-Verlag</publisher><subject>Air pollution ; Analysis of Variance ; Apoptosis ; Apoptosis - drug effects ; Aquatic Pollution ; Assaying ; Atmospheric Protection/Air Quality Control/Air Pollution ; Bioassays ; Carcinogens, Environmental - toxicity ; caspase-3 ; caspase-9 ; Cell culture ; Cell Line, Tumor ; cell proliferation ; Comet Assay ; Cytotoxicity ; Damage ; Deoxyribonucleic acid ; DNA ; DNA Damage ; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug ; Earth and Environmental Science ; Ecotoxicology ; Environment ; Environmental changes ; Environmental Chemistry ; Environmental Health ; Environmental science ; Flow Cytometry ; G2 Phase Cell Cycle Checkpoints - drug effects ; Health ; Human ; human health ; Humans ; Indoles ; Laboratories ; Lung cancer ; lung neoplasms ; membrane potential ; messenger RNA ; Metal Nanoparticles - toxicity ; Micronucleus Tests ; mitochondrial membrane ; Nanoparticles ; quantitative analysis ; quantitative polymerase chain reaction ; Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction ; Research Article ; reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction ; risk ; Staining ; Studies ; Tetrazolium Salts ; Thiazoles ; Titanium ; Titanium - toxicity ; Titanium dioxide ; Titanium oxide powders ; Toxicity ; Waste Water Technology ; Water Management ; Water Pollution Control</subject><ispartof>Environmental science and pollution research international, 2015-04, Vol.22 (7), p.5519-5530</ispartof><rights>Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014</rights><rights>Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2015</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c532t-15871252672c56e9e6371acb82ba71ef4b558fcdf371f1c1c6d0533408d8b15b3</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c532t-15871252672c56e9e6371acb82ba71ef4b558fcdf371f1c1c6d0533408d8b15b3</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://www.proquest.com/docview/1664737019/fulltextPDF?pq-origsite=primo$$EPDF$$P50$$Gproquest$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://www.proquest.com/docview/1664737019?pq-origsite=primo$$EHTML$$P50$$Gproquest$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>314,776,780,11667,27901,27902,36037,36038,44339,74638</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25339530$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Wang, Yurong</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Cui, Haiyan</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Zhou, Jiaping</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Li, Fengjuan</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Wang, Jinju</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Chen, Mianhua</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Liu, Qingdai</creatorcontrib><title>Cytotoxicity, DNA damage, and apoptosis induced by titanium dioxide nanoparticles in human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells</title><title>Environmental science and pollution research international</title><addtitle>Environ Sci Pollut Res</addtitle><addtitle>Environ Sci Pollut Res Int</addtitle><description>Concerns about the risk of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO₂NPs) to human health and environment are gradually increasing due to their wide range of applications.
