Effect of iron overload from multi walled carbon nanotubes on neutrophil-like differentiated HL-60 cells.

ABSTRACT: Multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are one of the most intensively explored nanomaterials because of their unique physical and chemical properties. Due to the widespread use of MWCNTs, it is important to investigate their effects on human health. The precise mechanism of MWCNT toxicity has not been fully elucidated. The present study was designed to examine the mechanisms of MWCNT toxicity toward human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells. First, we found that MWCNTs decreased the viability of neutrophil-like differentiated HL-60 cells but not undifferentiated HL-60 cells. Because neutrophil-like differentiated HL-60 cells exhibit enhanced phagocytic activity, the cytotoxicity of MWCNTs is dependent on the intracellularly localized MWCNTs. Next, we revealed that the cytotoxicity of MWCNTs is correlated with the intracellular accumulation of iron that is released from the engulfed MWCNTs in an acidic lysosomal environment. The intracellular accumulation of iron was repressed by treatment with cytochalasin D, a phagocytosis inhibitor. In addition, our results indicated that iron overload enhanced the release of interleukin-8 (IL-8), a chemokine that activates neutrophils, and subsequently elevated intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca²⁺]_i). Finally, we found that the sustained [Ca²⁺]_i elevation resulted in the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and the increase of caspase-3 activity, thereby inducing apoptotic cell death. These findings suggest that the iron overload caused by engulfed MWCNTs results in the increase of IL-8 production and the elevation of [Ca²⁺]_i, thereby activating the mitochondria-mediated apoptotic pathway.

Project description:Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) is an important sensor for innate immune cells, including neutrophils, for the recognition of pathogen infection. Lipoteichoic acid (LTA), a cell wall component of gram-positive bacteria, is a TLR2 ligand. LTA-induced TLR2 signaling pathways are well established in neutrophils. However, experimental studies regarding transcriptional regulation and the molecular mechanisms in primary human neutrophils are limited due to their short lifespan. The promyelocytic leukemia cell line, HL-60, can differentiate into a neutrophil-like phenotype following treatment with dimethyl sulfoxide. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether differentiated HL-60 (dHL-60) cells induced a similar gene expression profile upon LTA treatment as that previously determined for primary human neutrophils. After 4 or 24 h of Staphylococcus aureus LTA treatment, undifferentiated HL-60 (uHL-60) and dHL-60 cells were collected for RNA sequencing. The results demonstrated that hundreds of identical differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were observed in 1 and 10 µg/ml LTA-treated dHL-60 cells following 4 and 24 h of incubation, while almost no DEGs between LTA-treated HL-60 and dHL-60 cells were observed. Using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses (KEGG), it was noted that the pathways of shared DEGs between the 1 and 10 µg/ml LTA-treated dHL-60 cells at both time points were significantly enriched in immune and inflammatory response-related pathways, such as cellular response to tumor necrosis factor, interleukin-1, interferon γ, neutrophil chemotaxis, the NF-κB signaling pathway and the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway. In addition, when comparing the effect of 1 and 10 µg/ml LTA treatment on dHL60 cells, it was found that all enriched GO and KEGG pathways were associated with the TLR signaling pathways of neutrophils. The results of the present study provided important information for the implementation of mRNA profiling in LTA-treated dHL-60 cells and may indicate the feasibility of using dHL-60 cells as a research model for TLR2 signaling in human neutrophils.

Project description:The studies focusing on magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC) composites have recently become fairly widespread because of MOC's excellent mechanical properties and environmental sustainability. Numerous fillers, admixtures and nano-dopants were studied in order to improve the overall performance of MOC-based derivatives. Some of them exhibited specific flaws, such as a tendency to aggregate, increase in porosity, aeration of the composite matrix, depreciation in water resistance and mechanical strength, etc. In this manuscript, MOC-based composites doped by multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are designed and tested. In order to modify the final properties of composites, diatomite was admixed as partial substitution of MgO, which was used in the composition of the researched material in excess, i.e., the majority of MgO constituted part of MOC and the rest served as fine filler. The composites were subjected to the broad experimental campaign that covered SEM (scanning electron microscopy), EDS (energy dispersive spectroscopy), HR-TEM (high-resolution transmission electron microscopy), XRD (X-ray diffraction), OM (optical microscopy) and STA-MS (simultaneous thermal analysis with mass spectroscopy). For 28 days hardened samples, macrostructural and microstructural parameters, mechanical properties, hygric and thermal characteristics were experimentally assessed. The incorporation of MWCNTs and diatomite resulted in the significant enhancement of composites' compactness, mechanical strength and stiffness and reduction in water absorption and rate of water imbibition. The thermal properties of the enriched MOC composites yielded interesting values and provided information for future modification of thermal performance of MOC composites with respect to their specific use in practice, e.g., in passive moderation of indoor climate. The combination of MWCNTs and diatomite represents a valuable modification of the MOC matrix and can be further exploited in the design and development of advanced building materials and components.
