Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles Induce Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Mediated Autophagic Cell Death via Mitochondria-Associated Endoplasmic Reticulum Membrane Disruption in Normal Lung Cells

Abstract: Nanomaterials are used in diverse fields including food, cosmetic, and medical industries. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2-NP) are widely used, but their effects on biological systems and mechanism of toxicity have not been elucidated fully. Here, we report the toxicological mechanism of TiO2-NP in cell organelles. Human bronchial epithelial cells (16HBE14o-) were exposed to 50 and 100 μg/mL TiO2-NP for 24 and 48 h. Our results showed that TiO2-NP induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the cells and… Show more

“…Recent studies report the endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) as a common response in NPs related toxicity with studies on TiO 2 NPs (Zhang et al 2012, Chen et al 2014, Yu, Chang, et al 2015. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an important organelle, which plays a role in folding and assembling of cellular proteins, in synthesis of lipids and sterols, and in regulating the balance of the intracellular calcium homeostasis, processes which are all dependent on the ER internal homeostasis.…”

“…15 Remarkably, autophagy has been discovered in cells exposed to TNPs. 20,21,[24][25][26] However, the underlying mechanistic insights into autophagy induced by TNPs are still poorly investigated. Recently, there is growing interest in the topic of how epigenetic processes modulate cellular behavior in response to environmental chemicals.…”

“…19,20 Autophagy, therefore, serves as a natural and essential defense mechanism against inflammatory, infectious, neurodegenerative, and neoplastic disorders, and deregulation of this pathway has been implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous human diseases. [21][22][23][24] Activation of autophagy was considered as an attempt for a cell to maintain cellular homeostasis by sequestering and degrading exogenous materials entered into the cytoplasm. However, the toxicological consequence of autophagy dysfunction is regarded as a potential mechanism of cell death.…”

“…LC3 is one of the key regulators of autophagy, which is measured quantitatively by the ratio of LC3 II to LC3 I. The results clearly demonstrate that the LC3 II/LC3 I ratio increased significantly in the TiO 2 NP treated cells and the TiO 2 NP induces autophagy in human bronchial epithelial cells [62]. In addition, WenlinBai reported that over expressed miR34a enhanced TNP induced autophagy and cell death through targeted down regulation of Bcl 2 in BEAS 2B cells [50].…”
