Cytotoxicity and oxidative DNA damage by nanoparticles in human intestinal Caco-2 cells

Abstract

The use of engineered nanoparticles in the food sector is anticipated to increase dramatically, whereas their potential hazards for the gastrointestinal tract are still largely unknown. We investigated the cytotoxic and DNA-damaging effects of several types of nanoparticles and fine particles relevant as food additives (TiO2 and SiO2) or for food packaging (ZnO and MgO) as well as carbon black on human intestinal Caco-2 cells. All particles, except for MgO, were cytotoxic (LDH and WST-1 assay). ZnO, and to lesser extent SiO2, induced significant DNA damage (Fpg-comet), while SiO2 and carbon black were the most potent in causing glutathione depletion. DNA damage by TiO2 was found to depend on sample processing conditions. Interestingly, application of different TiO2 and ZnO particles revealed no relation between particle surface area and DNA damage. Our results indicate a potential hazard of several food-related nanoparticles which necessitate investigations on the actual exposure in humans.

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.
