Interactions between magnetic nanoparticles and model lipid bilayers—Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) studies of the molecular basis of nanotoxicity

Abstract: The toxicity of nanoparticles (nanotoxicity) is often associated with their interruption of biological membranes. The effect of polymer-coated magnetic nanoparticles (with different Fe 3 O 4 core sizes and different polymeric coatings) on a model biological membrane system of vesicles formed by dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) was studied. Selected magnetic nanoparticles with core sizes ranging from 3 to 13 nm (in diameter) were characterised by transmission electron microscopy. Samples with 10% DMPC and … Show more

“…Despite the advantages of iron oxide particles, their toxicity and nanotoxicity [17] is one of the main problems for their in vivo application. The results of several studies showed that the accumulation of iron ions causes neuronal damage in the brain and inhibits the synthesis of proteins associated with the growth of neural cells [18, 19].…”

“…The residual weight of blank liposomes was 10.3% ( w / w ) at the end of temperature increase to 650 °C. In comparison, MLs displayed a similar decomposition peak, temperature, but the shoulder temperature transformed into a more distinctive peak temperature possibly due to the interactions of lipids with CMNPs [ 48 ]. From the residual weight difference between MLs and blank liposomes at 650 °C, the weight percentage of CMNPs in MLs was estimated to be ~21.0% ( w / w ), assuming negligible weight loss for CMNPs, which compared favorably with that obtained from chemical analysis (21.8% ± 1.7%).…”

“…Toxicity and cytotoxicity of SPIONs is strongly dependent on their size, type of coating and concentration. 61 In several studies, a wide range of surface coatings have been tested to prove that toxic effects of SPIONs can be diminished to a great extent. 62 The mechanism of cellular uptake is determined by particles' size and coating.…”
