Cellular Behavior Change of Macrophage After Exposure to Nanoparticles

Abstract: Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are few of the nanoparticles used clinically. When MNPs are delivered into human body, they are ingested by macrophages. We evaluated the cellular response of macrophage after MNPs loading. In face of stimulation by lipopolysaccharide, a strong stimulant derived from bacterial cell wall, MNPs loaded macrophage exhibited decreased phagocytic activity and decreased generation of cytokines such as TNF-alpha, IL-1beta whereas increased nitric oxide generation was noticed. Although the… Show more

“…Since TNF-α mediates the production of NO and neutrophil attractant chemokines such as KC/CXCL-1 and IL-8, the decrease in NO and these chemokines levels from CdTe-QD pre-exposures might actually be a consequence of reduced TNF-α levels. The suppression of TNF-α production was also reported in a study by Hsiao and colleagues (2009), who showed that macrophage exposure to magnetic NPs caused a decrease in TNF-α and IL-1β, and also a decrease in NO levels, even in response to LPS stimulation. The suppression of neutrophil chemo-attractants together with the decrease in NO and TNF-α in test cells in our study suggest that CdTe-QDs could impair the ability of these immune cells to perform their anti-microbial functions in fighting bacterial infection.…”

“…Therefore, in the present study, it is reasonable to consider that inflammatory response evoked from the host reaction against foreign bodies, MGT, induce formation of inflammation-related DNA adducts, such as εdC and HεdC, which, being involved in C to T transitions, are more likely to contribute to genotoxicity observed in the lungs of MGT-exposed mice. Recently, several reports show that the mechanisms of (geno)toxicity induced by nanoparticles are suggested to be involved in macrophage stimulation [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]. Innate immune activation through Nalp3 inflammasomes has been suggested to play an important role in the pulmonary inflammation and fibrotic disorders of silicosis and asbestosis [ 31 , 32 ].…”

“…This demonstrates that, at relatively low concentrations, C 60 exposure may suppress an inflammatory reaction of the coelomocytes. Other studies have also demonstrated decreases in phagocytic activity in combination with a reduction in cytokine release, after exposure to magnetic and cadmium quantum dot (CdTe-QD) nanoparticles (Hsiao et al 2009;Nguyen et al 2012). Moreover, Nguyen et al (2012) demonstrated that CdTe-QD nanoparticles, by lowering cytokine levels, could make the cells more sensitive to a bacterial infection.…”
