Fluctuation broadening in carbon nanotube resonators.

ABSTRACT: We simulated the behavior of suspended carbon nanotube resonators over a broad range of temperatures to explore the physics of semiflexible polymers in underdamped environments. We find that thermal fluctuations induce strong coupling between resonance modes. This effect leads to spectral fluctuations that readily account for the experimentally observed quality factors Q ? 100 at 300 K. Using a mean-field approach to describe fluctuations, we analytically calculate Q and frequency shifts in tensioned and buckled carbon nanotubes and find excellent agreement with simulations.

Functionalized carbon nanotube toxicity in Arabidopsis leaves

Project description:Polyethilenimine (PEI) functionalized single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and carbon-based nanomaterials enable delivery of DNA and RNA in plants. Given the broad-scale use of PEI-functionalized nanomaterials in plants, we sought to investigate the reaction of plant tissues to treatment with PEI-SWNTs and pristine SWNTs. To this end, we infiltrated Arabidopsis thaliana leaves with pristine single walled carbon nanotubes used in RNA silencing applications (SWNTs) and polyethyleneimine-functionalized SWNTs used for plasmid DNA delivery (PEI-SWNTs). We used Arabidopsis as it is a well characterized model plant, for which genomic and detailed gene function information is readily available. To minimize the effects caused by the introduction of exogenous nucleic acids, in SWNT preparations we used single stranded RNA targeting Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) with no target sequence in the Arabidopsis genome, and a plasmid that expresses GFP in PEI-SWNT preparations. For our experiments herein, we used ~25-50 fold higher concentrations of SWNTs and PEI-SWNTs compared to standard concentrations used in biomolecule delivery assays. Water-infiltrated plant leaves served as a negative control to distinguish between the SWNT-specific response and the response to the infiltration process itself. We performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) with RNA extracted from leaves two days after infiltration to identify changes in the leaf transcriptomic profile in response to the three treatments, compared to non-infiltrated leaves.

Multi-walled carbon nanotube-induced gene expression in vitro

Project description:There is a current interest in reducing the in vivo toxicity testing of nanomaterials in animals by increasing toxicity testing using in vitro cellular assays; however, toxicological results are seldom concordant between in vivo and in vitro models. This study compared global multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-induced gene expression from human lung epithelial and microvascular endothelial cells in monoculture and coculture with gene expression from mouse lungs exposed to MWCNT. Using a cutoff of 10% false discovery rate and 1.5 fold change, we determined that there were more concordant genes (gene expression both up- or downregulated in vivo and in vitro) expressed in both cell types in coculture than in monoculture. When reduced to only those genes involved in inflammation and fibrosis, known outcomes of in vivo MWCNT exposure, there were more disease-related concordant genes expressed in coculture than monoculture. Additionally, different cellular signaling pathways are activated in response to MWCNT dependent upon culturing conditions. As coculture gene expression better correlated with in vivo gene expression, we suggest that cellular cocultures may offer enhanced in vitro models for nanoparticle risk assessment and the reduction of in vivo toxicological testing.

Lung response to multi-walled carbon nanotube exposure in rats.

Project description:The projected increase in the production and use of nanomaterials is expected to result in a corresponding increase in human exposure, potentially resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Currently, the lung toxicity of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), a prototype nanomaterial, was investigated in a rat model. The rats were exposed by whole-body inhalation to air (controls) or MWCNT (6 hours/day, 3 days) to result in cumulative doses of 180, 90, 45, 22.5, or 11.25 mg/m3. Lung toxicity and gene expression profiles were determined in the lungs of the control and MWCNT exposed rats one day following termination of the exposures. Moderate lung histological changes, indicative of toxicity, were detected in rats exposed to MWCNT at doses > 45 mg/m3. Changes in toxicity parameters including, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, oxidant production, cell counts of phagocytes, and cytokine levels were detected in the bronchoalveolar lavage of rats exposed to > 22.5 mg/m3 MWCNT, compared with the air controls. Lung gene expression profiling detected differences in transcript levels (fold change >1.5 and FDR p<0.05) of several genes in the rats exposed to >22.5 mg/m3 MWCNT, compared with the controls. The changes in lung toxicity and gene expression profiles exhibited a dose-response to the MWCNT administered in the rats.
