We studied the effects of Aeroxide P25 titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) with a diameter of 21 nm on induction of DNA damage and long-term survival of three human cell lines: hepatocellular liver carcinoma HepG2, colorectal adenocarcinoma HT29 and lung carcinoma A549. The endpoints examined were DNA breakage estimated by the comet assay and oxidative base damage recognized by formamide-pyrimidine glycosylase (FPG) estimated with the FPG+ comet assay, frequencies of histone H2AX foci and micronuclei, apoptosis, cell metabolic activity measured by mitochondrial activity (MTT) assay and long-term survival measured by colony-forming ability. Each cell line had a different pattern of DNA breakage and base damage vs. nanoparticle (NP) concentration and treatment time. There was no increase in the frequencies of histone H2AX foci and micronuclei as compared to those in the untreated cells. In parallel with these results, no induction of apoptosis has been found in none of the cell lines tested. The reported experiments provided no evidence of the long-term in vitro toxicity of Aeroxide P25 TiO2 NPs, despite a slight decrease in mitochondrial activity and cell survival during the first 72 h.
W pracy dokonano oceny cytotoksycznego wpływu wzmocnionego włóknami węglowymi kopolimeru glikolidu z laktydem (PLGA+CF) na ludzkie osteoblasty linii hFOB 1.19. Przeprowadzono w tym celu pomiar aktywności dehydrogenazy mitochondrialnej metodą MTT oraz dehydrogenazy mleczanowej (test LDH) w warunkach in vitro. Oba testy nie wykazały toksycznego działania badanego kompozytu na ludzkie komórki kościotwórcze.

This work evaluates the cytotoxic impact of poly-lactide-co-glycolide reinforced with carbon fibres (PLGA+CF) on the hFOB 1.19 human osteoblastic cell line. To this end the levels of miochondrial dehydrogenase (MTT method) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH test) were measured in vitro. Neither test showed a toxic effect of the studied composite on the human osteogenic cells.
Celem pracy była ocena in vitro cytotoksycznego działania bioresorbowalnego kopolimeru glikolidu z laktydem (PLGA) na ludzkie osteoblasty linii hFOB 1.19 poprzez pomiar aktywności dehydrogenazy mitochondrialnej (test MTT) oraz dehydrogenazy mleczanowej (test LDH). Do badań użyto ekstrakt uzyskany po 8 dniach inkubacji kopolimeru PLGA w medium wykorzystywanym do hodowli osteoblastów. Ekstrakt ten następnie kontaktowano przez 24 oraz 48 godziny z zaadherowanymi do dna naczynia hodowlanego osteoblastami. Po upływie założonego czasu inkubacji zarówno test MTT, jak i test LDH nie wykazał cytotoksycznego działania kopolimeru PLGA na ludzkie komórki kościotwórcze.

The aim of the work was to evaluate in vitro the cytotoxic effect of bioresorbable polylactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) on the hFOB 1.19 human osteoblastic cell line by measuring the activity of mitochondrial dehydrogenase (MTT test) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH test). The research made use of an extract obtained after 8 days of PLGA incubation in a medium used for osteoblast culturing. The extract was then brought into contact with osteoblasts adhered to the bottom of the culture vessel for 24 and 48 hours. After the set incubation time neither the MTT test nor the LDH test showed a cytotoxic effect of PLGA on human osteogenic cells.
The cytotoxic effects of volatile and water-insoluble organic solvents (ethylbenzene, tetrachloroethylene, n-hexane) were tested on isolated hepatocytes in monolayer culture by using the 3-(4,5 dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) reduction assay. All of the tested compounds inhibited metabolic activity of hepatocytes and this effect depended on the concentration of solvents in the incubatory medium. The presence of fetal calf serum in the medium did not change the cytotoxicity of xenobiotics. IC50 values calculated on the basis of the MTT assay indicated that ethylbenzene was more cytotoxic than tetrachloroethylene and n-hexane. Using hepatocyte monolayer culture and the MTT assay to assess cytotoxicity of organic solvents causes many technical problems. It seems that it cannot be used as a rapid, cheap, and credible method.
