Morphology-dependent titanium dioxide nanoparticle-induced keratinocyte toxicity and exacerbation of allergic contact dermatitis.

ABSTRACT: Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles are commonly found in consumer products, such as sunscreens, and human dermal exposures are relatively high. Research suggests potential differences in the toxicity of anatase and rutile crystalline forms of TiO2. Additionally, transition metal dopants are frequently used to enhance physicochemical properties of TiO2, and the toxicity of these nanoparticles are not extensively studied. Therefore, this work examined the keratinocyte toxicity and in vivo skin allergy responses after treatment with 30 nm anatase, 30 nm rutile, or <100 nm Mn-doped TiO2 nanoparticles. After a 24-hour exposure, there were no differences in keratinocyte cytotoxicity; however, Mn-doped TiO2 nanoparticles induced significant in vitro ROS generation and in vivo skin swelling responses in a model of allergic contact dermatitis.

Amorphous silicon dioxide nanoparticles modulate immune responses in a model of allergic contact dermatitis.

Project description:Amorphous silicon dioxide nanoparticles (SiNPs) are ubiquitous, and they are currently found in cosmetics, drugs, and foods. Biomedical research is also focused on using these nanoparticles as drug delivery and bio-sensing platforms. Due to the high potential for skin exposure to SiNPs, research into the effect of topical exposure on both healthy and inflammatory skin models is warranted. While we observe only minimal effects of SiNPs on healthy mouse skin, there is an immunomodulatory effect of these NPs in a model of allergic contact dermatitis. The effect appears to be mediated partly by keratinocytes and results in decreases in epidermal hyperplasia, inflammatory cytokine release, immune cell infiltration, and a subsequent reduction in skin swelling. Additional research is required to further our mechanistic understanding and to validate the extent of this immunomodulatory effect in human subjects in order to assess the potential prophylactic use of SiNPs for treating allergic skin conditions.

Memory effect of arsenic-induced cellular response and its influences on toxicity of titanium dioxide nanoparticle.

Project description:Toxicity of arsenic (As) has been widely characterized. However, few studies focus on whether cell responses induced by As at nontoxic concentration could be inherited and further change cell tolerance to another pollutant. In this study, human A549 and HeLa cells were exposed to As at nontoxic concentrations for 10 or 15 passages, then the cells were recovered in the cell medium without As. At 25th passage, residual As in both type of cells was completely removed through the recovery process. And no abnormity in cell viability was identified in both type of cells between control and As-treated groups. Above results indicated that As exposure-recovery treatment had limited influence on phenotype of the cells. However, gene expression profiles determined by high-throughput sequencing showed that As exposure-recovery treatment induced similar expression modification of genes related to inflammation, oxidative stress and epigenetic modulation in the A549 and HeLa cells after recovery of 10 or 15 passages, indicating that As-induced cellular responses have been partially memorized at transcriptional level. The memory effect might play key roles in increased tolerance of the A549 and HeLa cells to adverse effects (cell viability, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and plasma membrane damage) induced by titanium dioxide nanoparticles (as representative pollutant). This study shed new lights on toxic effects induced by As at nontoxic concentration, which is useful for risk assessment of combined effects of As and other pollutants.

Chronic allergic contact dermatitis promotes skin cancer.

Project description:Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is well recognized as an adverse event associated with implantable medical devices that contain allergenic materials like nickel; however, other cutaneous consequences of chronic exposure to allergens in implanted devices are not well understood. Here, we present a clinical case of Marjolin's ulcer, an invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) that developed in response to chronic ACD caused by an orthopedic implant. We used a standard murine model of contact hypersensitivity to determine whether chronic ACD promotes skin carcinogenesis. Chronic application of 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DNFB) to carcinogen-treated skin led to the development of papillomas and aggressive SCC. DNFB-driven chronic ACD was marked by type 2 inflammation, which mediated skin carcinogenesis, as mice unable to mount an inflammatory response were less likely to develop skin tumors. Importantly, we found similar tumor-promoting inflammation surrounding the SCC in our patient. Our findings demonstrate that chronic ACD caused by constant exposure to an allergen can promote tumorigenesis at skin sites with preexisting cancer-initiated cells. Moreover, our results suggest that patients with implantable devices placed in close proximity to the skin should be monitored for ACD and highlight the importance of patch testing prior to the placement of such devices.

Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticle-Biomolecule Interactions Influence Oral Absorption.

Project description:Titanium dioxide (TiO?) nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely applied in various industrial fields, such as electronics, packaging, food, and cosmetics. Accordingly, concerns about the potential toxicity of TiO? NPs have increased. In order to comprehend their in vivo behavior and potential toxicity, we must evaluate the interactions between TiO? NPs and biomolecules, which can alter the physicochemical properties and the fate of NPs under physiological conditions. In the present study, in vivo solubility, oral absorption, tissue distribution, and excretion kinetics of food grade TiO? (f-TiO?) NPs were evaluated following a single-dose oral administration to rats and were compared to those of general grade TiO? (g-TiO?) NPs. The effect of the interactions between the TiO? NPs and biomolecules, such as glucose and albumin, on oral absorption was also investigated, with the aim of determining the surface interactions between them. The intestinal transport pathway was also assessed using 3-dimensional culture systems. The results demonstrate that slightly higher oral absorption of f-TiO? NPs compared to g-TiO? NPs could be related to their intestinal transport mechanism by microfold (M) cells, however, most of the NPs were eliminated through the feces. Moreover, the biokinetics of f-TiO? NPs was highly dependent on their interaction with biomolecules, and the dispersibility was affected by modified surface chemistry.

Dendritic Epidermal T Cells in Allergic Contact Dermatitis.

Project description:Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a common inflammatory skin disease with a prevalence of approximately 20% in the European population. ACD is caused by contact allergens that are reactive chemicals able to modify non-immunogenic self-proteins to become immunogenic proteins. The most frequent contact allergens are metals, fragrances, and preservatives. ACD clinically manifests as pruritic eczematous lesions, erythema, local papules, and oedema. ACD is a T cell-mediated disease, involving both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. In addition, ?? T cells appear to play an important role in the immune response to contact allergens. However, it is debated whether ?? T cells act in a pro- or anti-inflammatory manner. A special subset of ?? T cells, named dendritic epidermal T cells (DETC), is found in the epidermis of mice and it plays an important role in immunosurveillance of the skin. DETC are essential in sensing the contact allergen-induced stressed environment. Thus, allergen-induced activation of DETC is partly mediated by numerous allergen-induced stress proteins expressed on the keratinocytes (KC). Several stress proteins, like mouse UL-16-binding protein-like transcript 1 (Mult-1), histocompatibility 60 (H60) and retinoic acid early inducible-1 (Rae-1) ?-? family in mice and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-chain-related A (MICA) in humans, are upregulated on allergen-exposed KC. Allergen-induced stress proteins expressed on the KC are consequently recognized by NKG2D receptor on DETC. This review focuses on the role of ?? T cells in ACD, with DETC in the spotlight, and on the role of stress proteins in contact allergen-induced activation of DETC.

Immunosuppressive effect of hispidulin in allergic contact dermatitis.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Long-term use of most immunosuppressants to treat allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) generates unavoidable severe side effects, warranting discovery or development of new immunosuppressants with good efficacy and low toxicity is urgently needed to treat this condition. Hispidulin, a flavonoid compound that can be delivered topically due to its favorable skin penetrability properties, has recently been reported to possess anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. However, no studies have investigated the effect of hispidulin on Th1 cell activities in an ACD setting. METHODS:A contact hypersensitivity (CHS) mouse model was designed to simulate human ACD. The immunosuppressive effect of hispidulin was investigated via ear thickness, histologic changes (i.e., edema and spongiosis), and interferon-gamma (IFN-?) gene expression in 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DNFB)-sensitized mice. Cytotoxicity, total number of CD4+ T cells, and percentage of IFN-?-producing CD4+ T cells were also investigated in vitro using isolated CD4+ T cells from murine spleens. RESULTS:Topically applied hispidulin effectively inhibited ear swelling (as measured by reduction in ear thickness), and reduced spongiosis, IFN-? gene expression, and the number of infiltrated immune cells. The inhibitory effect of hispidulin was observed within 6?h after the challenge, and the observed effects were similar to those effectuated after dexamethasone administration. Hispidulin at a concentration up to 50??M also suppressed IFN-?-producing CD4+ T cells in a dose-dependent manner without inducing cell death, and without a change in total frequencies of CD4+ T cells among different concentration groups. CONCLUSION:The results of this study, therefore, suggest hispidulin as a novel compound for the treatment of ACD via the suppression of IFN-? production in Th1 cells.

Titanium dioxide nanoparticle-protein interaction explained by docking approach.

Project description:Titanium dioxide has been proven for toxicity by in vitro and in vivo approaches, however, further studies are needed in nano-toxicological research using in silico analysis. In this study, Autodock 4.0.5 was used in an attempt to evaluate the interaction of titanium dioxide with proteins. Different cellular proteins were sorted to study the interaction, binding sites, and active sites as a pocket. These pockets have been determined using CastP - an online server. The analysis for the docked structures was performed with regard to the most efficient binding with amino acids. This study is the first of its kind to report on the in silico docking interaction of titanium dioxide nanoparticles without any surface modification. The higher negative binding energy shows strong binding of titanium dioxide with proteins. A strong interaction with different cellular proteins was observed, and more specifically, titanium dioxide nanoparticles showed frequent interaction with proline, lysine, as well as leusine.
