Purpose Titanium dioxide nanoparticles, 25 nm in size of crystallites (TiO 2 P25), are among the most produced nanomaterials worldwide. The broad use of TiO 2 P25 in material science has implied a request to evaluate their biological effects, especially in the lungs. Hence, the pulmonary A549 cell line has been used to estimate the effects of TiO 2 P25. However, the reports have provided dissimilar results on caused toxicity. Surprisingly, the physicochemical factors influencing TiO 2 P25 action in biological models have not been evaluated in most reports. Thus, the objective of the present study is to characterize the preparation of TiO 2 P25 for biological testing in A549 cells and to evaluate their biological effects. Methods We determined the size and crystallinity of TiO 2 P25. We used four techniques for TiO 2 P25 dispersion. We estimated the colloid stability of TiO 2 P25 in distilled water, isotonic NaCl solution, and cell culture medium. We applied the optimal dispersion conditions for testing the biological effects of TiO 2 P25 (0–100 µg.mL −1 ) in A549 cells using biochemical assays (dehydrogenase activity, glutathione levels) and microscopy. Results We found that the use of fetal bovine serum in culture medium is essential to maintain sufficient colloid stability of dispersed TiO 2 P25. Under these conditions, TiO 2 P25 were unable to induce a significant impairment of A549 cells according to the results of biochemical and microscopy evaluations. When the defined parameters for the use of TiO 2 P25 in A549 cells were met, similar results on the biological effects of TiO 2 P25 were obtained in two independent cell laboratories. Conclusion We optimized the experimental conditions of TiO 2 P25 preparation for toxicity testing in A549 cells. The results presented here on TiO 2 P25-induced cellular effects are reproducible. Therefore, our results can be helpful for other researchers using TiO 2 P25 as a reference material.

An in‐depth investigation was conducted on a promising composite material (BiVO4/TiO2), focusing on its potential toxicity, photoinduced catalytic properties, as well as its antibiofilm and antimicrobial functionalities. The preparation process involved the synthesis of 2D‐TiO2 using the lyophilization method, which was subsequently functionalized with sphere‐like BiVO4. Finally, we developed BiVO4/TiO2 S‐scheme heterojunctions which can greatly promote the separation of electron‐hole pairs to achieve high photocatalytic performance. The evaluation of concentration‐ and time‐dependent viability inhibition was performed on human lung carcinoma epithelial A549 cells. This assessment included the estimation of glutathione levels and mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity. Significantly, the BiVO4/TiO2 composite demonstrated minimal toxicity towards A549 cells. Impressively, the BiVO4/TiO2 composite exhibited notable photocatalytic performance in the degradation of rhodamine B (k =0.135 min‐1) and phenol (k = 0.016 min‐1). In terms of photoinduced antimicrobial performance, the composite effectively inactivated both gram‐negative E. coli and gram‐positive E. faecalis bacteria upon 60‐min of UV‐A light exposure, resulting in a significant log6(log10CFU/mL) reduction in bacterial count. These promising results can be attributed to the unique 2D morphology of TiO2 modified by sphere‐like BiVO4, leading to an increased generation of (intracellular)hydroxyl radicals, which plays a crucial role in treatments of both organic pollutants and bacteria.
