为探讨纳米TiO2对肝、肾细胞DNA的损伤效应,实验制备了锐钛矿型纳米TiO2颗粒(20-100nm),并采用不同浓度的纳米TiO2(0、0.1、0.2、0.4、0.8mg·mL^-1)对25只昆明雄性小鼠进行染毒,5d后用单细胞凝胶电泳技术检测小鼠肝、肾细胞DNA的损伤程度。结果表明,随着纳米TiO2染毒浓度的升高,小鼠肝、肾细胞尾部DNA百分率(Tail DNA%)和尾矩(Tail Moment)均呈逐渐升高趋势;对于肝细胞,0.1mg·mL^-1组Tail DNA%及Tail Moment与对照组无显著差异(p〉0.05),≥0.2mg·mL^-1组则显著升高(p〈0.05或p〈0.01);与肝细胞相比,肾细胞Tail DNA%及Tail Moment变化更为显著,0.1mg·mL^-1组即与对照组存在极显著差异(p〈0.01)。以上结果表明,纳米TiO2染毒可导致小鼠肝、肾细胞DNA损伤,且随染毒浓度的增加,损伤逐渐加重,呈一定的剂量-效应关系;与肝细胞相比,肾细胞对纳米TiO2更为敏感,较低浓度染毒即可造成DNA损伤。
To explore the DNA damage effect induced by nano-TiO2 in liver and kidney cells, the anatase TiO2 nanoparticles(20-100nm) were prepared for this experiment. 25 Kunming male mice were exposed to different concentrations of nano-TiO2 (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8mg·mL^-1)for 5d, and then the single-cell gel electrophoresis was applied to measure the DNA damage. Results demonstrated that with the increase of the nano-TiO2 concentrations, the values of Tail DNA% and Tall Moment of mouse liver and kidney cells were gradually increased. For liver cells, the values of Tall DNA% and Tail Moment of 0.1mg·mL^-1 exposure group had no significant difference with the values of control group (p〉0.05); but the values of ≥0.2mg·mL^-1 exposure groups were significantly higher (p〈0.05 or p〈0.01 ) than those of control. Compared with liver cells, the changes of Tail DNA% and Tail Moment of kidney cells were more significant, the values of 0.1mg·mL^-1 group even had significant difference with the values of control group (p〈0.01). Above results suggested that, nano-TiO2 could induce DNA damage of liver and kidney cells, and there was a certain dose-response relationship between the damage and the nano-TiO2 concentrations; kidney cells were more sensitive to nano-TiO2 than liver cells.
