Project description:In this study, we investigated the safety of locally delivered titanium dioxide nanoaprticles at the level of gene expression in the retina. To figure out any definite dose-dependent effect, we injected titanium dioxide nanoparticles into the vitreous cavity of 8-week-old male C57BL/6 mice at the concentration of presumptive therapeutic concentration (PTC; 130.47 ng/ml) and 10 times PTC (1.30 μg/ml). We intravitreally injected PBS or titanium dioxide nanoparticles into the right eyes of 8-week-old male C57BL/6 mice (n = 12 per group). PBS-treated mice were regarded as negative control. Four retinal tissues were pooled into 1 test tube and prepared for further analyses.
Project description:We reported changes in RNA methylation levels in A549 cells caused by black phosphorus quantum dots and titanium dioxide nanoparticles.

Project description:Single cell RNA sequencing of 3D liver spheroid exposed to vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), titanium dioxide (TiO2), or graphene oxide (GO) was used to elucidate the toxicological mechanisms of different nanoparticles.
Project description:Inhalation is a major nanoparticle exposure pathway. Following inhalation, nanoparticles first interact with the lung lining fluid, a complex mixture of proteins, lipids, and mucins. We measure the concentration and composition of lung fluid proteins adsorbed on the surface of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles. Using proteomics, we find that lung fluid results in a unique protein corona on the surface of the TiO2 nanoparticles.
Project description:In the present study, we investigated the transcriptional expression patterns of the model strain E. coli exposed to titanium dioxide nanoparticles (NP-TiO2), under dark conditions by using a microarray. Expression profiles were compared to unexposed E.coli and ratio of expression were analysed.
