Objective To observe the protective effects of cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles on oxidative damage induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in human lung adenocarcinoma cell line (A549) in vitro. Methods The physical and chemical properties of CeO2 nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and nano-particle size and zeta potential analyzer. The cell viability of A549 exposed to 0-40 μg/ml CeO2 nanoparticles for 24 and 48 h was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethyhhiazol)-2,5-diphenltetrazoliumh romide (MTr) assay. The ability of scavenging reactive oxygen radicals, intracellular SOD activity and GSH content were assessed by microplate reader. The cellular uptake of CeO2 nanoparticles and rate of apoptosis were systematic studied by flow cytometry. Results CeO2 nanoparticles promoted the viability of A549 cells. After cells were exposed to CeO2 nanoparticles at 20 and 40 μg/ml for 48 h, cell viability increased to 111.66 % and 113.04% compared with the control group. CeO2 nanoparticles could decrease oxidative damage induced by H2O2 through scavenging reactive oxygen free radicals. After cells were exposed to CeO2 nanoparticles at 20 and 40 μg/ml, cell viability increased by 10.21% and 16.54%, SOD activity in cells increased by 46.23% and 61.87%, GSH content in cells increased by 21.98% and 45.86%, respectively, compared with the H2O2 group. CeO2 nanoparticles could enter cells and reduce the apoptosis rate induced by H2O2 by 10.33%. Conclusion CeO2 nanoparticles can alleviate oxidative damage caused by external stimuli and present a protective effect to cells.
