Abstract:Iron oxide nanoparticles (ION) have great potential for an increasing number of medical and biological applications, particularly those focused on nervous system. Although ION seem to be biocompatible and present low toxicity, it is imperative to unveil the potential risk for the nervous system associated to their exposure, especially because current data on ION effects on human nervous cells are scarce. Thus, in the present study potential toxicity associated with silica-coated ION (S-ION) exposure was evalua… Show more
“…In SH‐SY5Y cells, the presence of nanoparticles altered the repair of H 2 O 2 ‐induced DNA damage, with considerably more pronounced effects when serum‐free medium was used (Kiliç et al ). However, results obtained from A172 cells were in accordance with the ones found in the present study, with no alteration in repair ability found at any condition tested (Fernández‐Bertólez et al ). This different response between the two types of nervous system cells are in line with the well‐accepted idea that glial cells may have a more efficient repair ability in order to protect neuronal tissue from external insults (Saeed et al ).…”

“…Studies addressing the potential effects of ION on cellular repair mechanisms are extremely scarce. Silica‐coated ION effects on repair capacity of SH‐SY5Y and A172 cells were previously assessed by our group by using the same approach (Kiliç et al ; Fernández‐Bertólez et al ). In SH‐SY5Y cells, the presence of nanoparticles altered the repair of H 2 O 2 ‐induced DNA damage, with considerably more pronounced effects when serum‐free medium was used (Kiliç et al ).…”

“…The uptake and intracellular localization of ION in A172 cells were assessed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) coupled with energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX) as previously described (Fernández‐Bertólez et al ). Cells seeded in T25 flasks were exposed to O‐ION dispersed in complete and serum‐free media (25 and 100 μg/mL) for 3 and 24 hr.…”

“…Before carrying out the comet assay experiments, the possible interference between O-ION (at 100 μg/mL, the highest concentration to be tested) and the comet assay methodology was assessed, following Magdolenova et al (2012) recommendations and the protocol described by Fernández-Bertólez et al (2018a). Because no interference was observed in either complete or serumfree media, alkaline comet assay was performed according to the general protocol proposed by Singh et al (1988), with minor changes (Teixeira et al 2010).…”

Owing to their unique characteristics, nanoparticles (NPs) could be incorporated into valuable therapeutic modalities for different diseases; however, there are many concerns about risk factors in human applications. NPs carry therapeutic chemicals that could improve the outcome of cancer therapies. Nowadays, NPs are being recognized as important and strategic agents in treatment of several disorders due to their unique properties in targeting malignant cells in tumor sites. Numerous investigations have shown that the majority of chemotherapeutic agents can be modified through entrapment in submicron colloidal systems. Still, there are problems and limitations in application of NPs in cancer therapy. The aim of the present study is to focus on potential NPs usage in cancer treatment with an emphasis on the cell cycle of malignant cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
