Effects of Gold Nanoparticles on Erythrocyte Hemolysis

Abstract: We studied hemolytic activity of gold nanoparticles added to the whole blood (ex vivo) and of nanoparticles coated and not coated with plasma components on erythrocytes in hypotonic medium (osmotic hemolysis) in vitro. Gold nanoparticles did not stimulate erythrocyte hemolysis after 4-h incubation with the whole blood ex vivo. Hemolysis tended to increase in the presence of small gold nanoparticles (5, 10, 20 nm) at the maximum concentration of 20 μM (by gold content) used in our study in comparison with the c… Show more

“…63 Gold NPs demonstrated hemolysis only at small sizes (< 30 nm), in a dose-dependent manner. 64,65 Similar response to silver NPs was also observed. 66,67 Naked chitosan NPs induce significant hemolysis, whereas no appreciable hemolysis is observed upon treatment of the NPs with NaOH.…”

“…[39][40][41] Lastly, if the coating had chemically reacted with the red blood cells, some level of degradation should have taken place. This is also true for nanoparticles, which have only been shown to be capable of inducing hemolysis, rather than strengthen red blood cells against damage.…”

“…Ex vivo experiments on whole blood were conducted because erythrocytes together with other blood cells and serum content reflect properly the actual conditions in mammals. 40 Experiments were performed at t = 0, 2, 5, and 24 h in the dark and under LED irradiation, with the bactericidal concentration of amoxi@AuNP (1.5 μg/mL). Total hemolysis was established by adding H 2 O to the red blood cell samples; n = 3; SD < 0.1 (see Figure S7 for illumination details).…”
