Nonlinear effects in optical trapping of titanium dioxide and diamond nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Optical trapping in biophysics typically uses micron-scale beads made of materials like polystyrene or glass to probe the target of interest. Using smaller beads made of higher-index materials could increase the time resolution of these measurements. We characterized the trapping of nanoscale beads made of diamond and titanium dioxide (TiO₂) in a single-beam gradient trap. Calculating theoretical expectations for the trapping stiffness of these beads, we found good agreement with measured values. Trap stiffness was significantly higher for TiO₂ beads, owing to notable enhancement from nonlinear optical effects, not previously observed for continuous-wave trapping. Trap stiffness was over 6-fold higher for TiO₂ beads than polystyrene beads of similar size at 70 mW laser power. These results suggest that diamond and TiO₂ nanobeads can be used to improve time resolution in optical tweezers measurements.

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles exposure

Project description:This project utilized oligonucleotide microarrays to examine gene expression patterns in adult male fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) exposed to a common nanomaterial, titanium dioxide (TiO2, stearate-coated particles, MT-100TV®). We exposed adult male fathead minnows for 96 hr to three doses (0, 1, and 10 mg/L nominal) of TiO2 under static renewal conditions. TiO2 is stearate coated, 15 nm particle size. Three-condition experiment: high dose, controls (untreated, low dose). Three tissues: liver, gill, brain. Biological replicates: 4 control replicates, 4 low dose, 4 high dose for gill and liver. One array for brain control and low dose; and 2 arrays for brain high dose. Contributor: Johnson & Johnson Worldwide Envrionmental

Effects of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) on endothelial cells

Project description:The widespread commercial use of TiO2-NPs, such as in medical stents, has led to extensive investigations on their toxicity and biological impact but lacks a detailed study on their effects. Proteomics and transcriptomics are key methodologies to unravel cellular dynamics, macromolecular interactions and biological response to NP exposure through the protein or gene identification and quantification. We focus on integration of several Omics strategies that could offer a more complex understanding of the impact. In this study, our goal was to gain insight into the cellular response after the exposure to sublethal concentration of TiO2-ultra small nanoparticles (USNPs) and NPs by analyzing the modification on the genomic and proteomic expression in human microdermal endothelial cells (HMEC-1). We investigated the correlation between the NP size and the cellular response to the exposure. We evaluated if multiOmics approaches could thus reveal more extensive information on the potential cellular responses to NPs exposure.

Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles: Effects on Development and Male Reproductive System.

Project description:Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) are used intensively. Thanks to their extremely small size (1-100 nm), TiO2-NPs are more absorbable by living organisms; consequently, they can cross the circulatory system and then be distributed in various organs including the reproductive organs. We have evaluated the possible toxic effect of TiO2-NPs on embryonic development and the male reproductive system using Danio rerio as an organism model. TiO2-NPs (P25, Degussa) were tested at concentrations of 1 mg/L, 2 mg/L, and 4 mg/L. TiO2-NPs did not interfere with the embryonic development of Danio rerio, however, in the male gonads the TiO2-NPs caused an alteration of the morphological/structural organization. The immunofluorescence investigation showed positivity for biomarkers of oxidative stress and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), both confirmed by the results of qRT-PCR. In addition, an increased expression of the gene responsible for the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone was found. Since Leydig cells are mainly involved in this activity, an increase in gene activity can be explained by the ability of TiO2-NPs to act as endocrine disruptors, and, therefore, with androgenic activity.

Microarrays after exposure in Caco-2 cells to titanium dioxide food additive E171 and titanium dioxide nanoparticles and microparticles

Project description:Exposure to titanium dioxide (TiO2) food additive by ingestion increased over the years. TiO2 is used in food to give a brighter, fresher colour to sweets, cookies, salad dressing under the name E171. New studies on E171 showed that after ingestion in a colorectal cancer mouse model, a significant increased number of colorectal tumours were found. In addition, short-term exposure to E171 induces gene expression changes in relation to oxidative stress responses, an impairment of the immune system, activation of signalling and cancer-related genes. Furthermore, dysregulation of the immune system was also observed after ingestion of E171 in rats. E171 comprises nanoparticles (NPs) and microparticles (MPs). Previous in vitro studies showed the capacity of E171, TiO2 NPs and MPs to induce oxidative stress, DNA damage, and induction of the micronuclei. The aim of our study was to investigate the relative contribution of the NPs and MPs fractions to the effects of E171 at the molecular level. This investigation was performed using in vitro exposure of Caco-2 cells to E171 as well as the NPs and MPs fractions of TiO2 and assessing effects with genome wide gene expression analysis. Results showed that the E171, TiO2 NPs and MPs induce gene expression changes in signalling, inflammation, immune system, transport, and cancer. Contribution of NPs was observed on genes involved in TLR cascade, MHC class I and II presentation, late cornified envelope, potassium channels, and cell cycle. MPs contribution was observed with changes in gene expression on a target to Hedgehog family, α-defensins, cadherin and cholinergic receptors. The gene expression changes associated with the immune system and inflammation induced by E171, MPs, and NPs suggest the creation of a favourable environment for cancer development.

Effects of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles on Red Clover and Its Rhizobial Symbiont.

Project description:Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) are in consideration to be used in plant protection products. Before these products can be placed on the market, ecotoxicological tests have to be performed. In this study, the nitrogen fixing bacterium Rhizobium trifolii and red clover were exposed to two TiO2 NPs, i.e., P25, E171 and a non-nanomaterial TiO2. Growth of both organisms individually and their symbiotic root nodulation were investigated in liquid and hydroponic systems. While 23 and 18 mg l(-1) of E171 and non-nanomaterial TiO2 decreased the growth rate of R. trifolii by 43 and 23% respectively, P25 did not cause effects. Shoot length of red clover decreased between 41 and 62% for all tested TiO2 NPs. In 21% of the TiO2 NP treated plants, no nodules were found. At high concentrations certain TiO2 NPs impaired R. trifolii as well as red clover growth and their symbiosis in the hydroponic systems.

Exploring the photocatalytic and photodynamic effects of BODIPY-linked titanium dioxide nanoparticles.

Project description:This study aimed to investigate the photocatalytic and photodynamic actions of a 2,6-diiodinated-BODIPY (2,6-diI2-Bod) photosensitizer (PS) covalently linked to TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs). The TiO2 NPs were synthesized utilizing the hydrothermal technique, yielding an average particle size of 4-5 nm as ascertained by transmission electron microscopy and 6.4 nm as determined by dynamic light scattering measurements. The integration of the nonsoluble Bod PS to TiO2 NPs provided increased dispersibility in physiological media, making it more applicable to photodynamic therapy applications. Bod-TiO2 NPs exhibited moderate efficiency of 56.9% in singlet oxygen generation. Additionally, the photocatalytic behavior of the TiO2 NPs was evaluated using methylene blue and 83.8% photodegradation efficiency was observed. The loading efficiency and loading content of the Bod PS were found to be 90.8% and 54.5%, respectively. These results suggest that Bod-TiO2 NPs possess higher dispersibility in aqueous solutions, moderate photocatalytic activity, and potential for photodynamic therapy applications.

Effects of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles on Photosynthetic and Antioxidative Processes of Scenedesmus obliquus.

Project description:The effects of the photocatalytic toxicity of titanium dioxide nanoparticle (nano-TiO2) on phytoplankton are well understood. However, as UV light intensity decreases sharply with the depth of the water column, the effects of nano-TiO2 itself on deeper water phytoplankton, such as green algae, need further research. In this research, we investigated the effects of three sizes of TiO2 (10, 50 and 200 nm) on the photosynthetic and antioxidative processes of Scenedesmus obliquus in the absence of UV light. We found that 50 nm and 10 nm TiO2 (10 mg/L) inhibited growth rates and the maximal photosystem II quantum yield compared to the control in Scenedesmus obliquus. The minimal and maximal fluorescence yields, and the contents of reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation, increased, indicating that photosynthetic energy/electrons transferred to oxygen and induced oxidative stress in nano-TiO2-treated samples. In addition, we found that aggregations of algae and 10 nm TiO2 were present, which could induce cell membrane disruption, and vacuoles were induced to cope with nano-TiO2 stress in Scenedesmus obliquus. These results enhance our understanding of the effects of nano-TiO2 on the photosynthetic and antioxidative processes of green algae, and provide basic information for evaluating the ecotoxicity of nano-TiO2 in freshwater ecosystems.

Retinal cytotoxicity of silica and titanium dioxide nanoparticles.

Project description:The retina plays a key role in human vision. It is composed of cells that are essential for vision signal generation. Thus far, conventional medications have been ineffective for treating retinal diseases because of the intrinsic blood-retinal barrier. Nanoparticles (NPs) are promising effective platforms for ocular drug delivery. However, nanotoxicity in the retinal tissue has not received much attention. This study used R28 cells (a retinal precursor cell line that originated from rats) to investigate the safety of two commonly used types of NPs: silica nanoparticles (SiO2NPs, 100 nm) and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs, 100 nm). Cellular viability and reactive oxygen species generation were measured after 24, 48, and 72 h of exposure to each NP. Cellular autophagy and the mTOR pathways were evaluated. The retinal toxicity of the NPs was investigated in vivo in rat models. Both types of NPs were found to induce significant dose-dependent toxicity on the R28 cells. A significant elevation of reactive oxygen species generation was also observed. Increased autophagy and decreased mTOR phosphorylation were observed after SiO2NPs and TiO2NPs exposure. The diffuse apoptosis of the retinal cellular layers was detected after intravitreal injection.
