Oxidative stress following exposure to silver and gold nanoparticles in mice

Abstract: Silver (Ag) and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have wide applications. They are increasingly being used in the medical devices, biosensors, cancer cell imaging, and cosmetics. Increased applications of these NPs in the technological advances have also led to the risk of exposure to these particles. This study investigated the toxic effects of Ag and Au NPs (1 μM and 2 μM, oral) on mouse erythrocytes and tissues after 14 consecutive days' exposure. Our results demonstrate significant increase in reactive oxygen sp… Show more

“…The various concentrations of PVP-and CT-AgNPs (2.5, 10 and 40 µg/ml) used in our study are also similar to previous studies evaluating nanotoxicity and blood compatibility of erythrocytes incubated with AgNPs [17,23]. Our concentrations are comparable with previous studies using AgNPs on human, mouse and fish erythrocytes and the highest dose of 40 µg/ml, is much lower than the optimal dose of AgNPs (200 µg/ml) that has been reported to induce hemolysis in human erythrocytes [17,18,23,[32][33][34]. In fact, in humans following oral exposure, in vivo serum concentration of AgNPs of up to 10µg/ml has been reported [35,36].…”

“…biosensors that need to be able to pass through human kidneys [1][2][3], and catalysts with increased efficiency [4][5][6]. One attractive NP production technique is plasma processing which has many advantages [7][8][9] such as suppression of unwanted agglomeration by Coulomb repulsion and the possibility of fast growth through ion collection.…”

“…17 Hematological alterations, a common hallmark of toxicity, had been demonstrated in mice that were intravenously given gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). 18 Cytotoxic effect was noted in both SiNP-and AuNP-treated mice by Shrivastava et al, 19 and increased reactive oxygen species resulting in oxidative stress damage was demonstrated to be the reason for the noxious effect. However, a recent study performed by Fraga et al 20 to observe the short-and long-term toxicities after a singledose intravenous AuNPs to rats showed no severe acute or delayed toxicity.…”
