DJ-1 as a potential biomarker for the development of biocompatible multiwalled carbon nanotubes

Abstract: Background In the present study, we investigated whether DJ-1 could serve as a biomarker for assessing the biocompatibility of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), using the highly purified carbon nanotube, HTT2800. Methods Using Western blot analysis, we determined DJ-1 protein levels in two different types of cells (one capable and the other incapable of HTT2800 endocytosis). Using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, we also investigated the ability of… Show more

“…The neuroblast was added in order to evaluate neurotoxicity because carbon particles able to cross the blood-brain barrier are known to affect the central nervous system 28 and MWCNTs are known to influence a protein associated with neurons. 21,29 We also examined the effect of MWCNTs on cells at different states of differentiation, and the relationship between cytotoxicity and the cellular uptake of MWCNTs.…”

“…The resulting oxidative damage due to ROS causes damage to DNA, proteins, and lipids and the activation of cell signaling pathways [ 4 , 27 ]. Our previous study focused on the acute toxicity of a vapor-grown CNT, HTT2800, which is a highly purified MWCNT that was prepared using high-temperature treatment [ 22 , 28 ]. Shape of HTT2800 is characterized by a high aspect ratio, a diameter of 100 to 150 nm, and a length of 10 to 20 µm [ 28 ].…”

Shape of HTT2800 is characterized by a high aspect ratio, a diameter of 100 to 150 nm, and a length of 10 to 20 µm [ 28 ]. Since the iron catalyst was removed from HTT2800 in an argon atmosphere, only a very low concentration (<20 ppm) of the iron-based material remained [ 4 ].…”

“…Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have the ability to promote stem cells' differentiation towards bone cells and enhance bone formation [35][36][37]. Due to their nanometer scale size, with a very high strength to weight ratio, they are very attractive as a nanoadditive to improve mechanical properties of polymers, including PLA fibres [38][39][40].…”
