Phagocytosis-dependent and independent mechanisms underlie the microglial cell damage caused by carbon nanotube agglomerates

Abstract: -Although carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are used in many fields, including energy, healthcare, environmental technology, materials, and electronics, the adverse effects of CNTs in the brain are poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of CNTs on cultured microglia, as microglia are the first responders to foreign materials. We compared the effects of sonicated suspensions of 5 kinds of CNTs and their flow-through filtered with a 0.22 μm membrane filter on microglial viability. We found that soni… Show more

“…This response promotes clearance of the pathogen through phagocytosis, and has been shown to result in neurotoxicity and reduced dopamine concentrations in the striatum (19,20). Larger multi-walled carbon nanotubes with carboxylic acid functionalization have previously been found to negatively impact microglial phagocytosis processes (21,22). Therefore, probing the impact of carbon nanotubes on microglia is of critical importance to assess the biocompatibility of SWCNT-based neuro-technologies.…”

“…Recognition of tissue damage or pathogenic material causes microglial activation, characterized by a change in cell morphology and an inflammatory response. This response promotes clearance of the pathogen through phagocytosis, and has been shown to result in neurotoxicity and reduced dopamine concentrations in the striatum. , Larger multiwalled carbon nanotubes with carboxylic acid functionalization have previously been found to negatively impact microglial phagocytosis processes. , Therefore, probing the impact of carbon nanotubes on microglia is of critical importance to assess the biocompatibility of SWCNT-based neuro-technologies.…”
