Oxygen Radical-Mediated Pulmonary Toxicity Induced by Some Cationic Liposomes
Abstract
Purpose The objectives of this study are to investigate the toxicity associated with polycationic liposomes and to elucidate the underlying mechanism. We tested the hypothesis that the positive charge of liposomes is a key determinant of toxicity by testing differently charged liposomes in mice.Methods Differently charged liposomal systems including cationic liposomes, LipofectAMINE and DOTAP, and neutral and negative liposomes were evaluated for their toxicity after pulmonary administration in mice. LDH assay and differential cell counts were performed to measure toxicity and pulmonary inflammation, respectively. Reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) were assessed by chemiluminescence.Results Instillation of cationic liposomes elicited dose-dependent toxicity and pulmonary inflammation. This effect was more pronounced with the multivalent cationic liposome LipofectAMINE as compared to the monovalent cationic DOTAP. Neutral and negative liposomes did not exhibit lung toxicity. Toxicity associated with cationic liposomes correlated with the oxidative burst induced by the liposomes. LipofectAMINE induced a dose-dependent increase in ROI generation. This effect was less pronounced with DOTAP and absent with neutral and negative liposomes.Conclusions ROI play a key role in cationic lipid-mediated toxicity. Polyvalent cationic liposomes cause a release of ROI which are responsible for the pulmonary toxicity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
