Can CuO nanoparticles lead to epigenetic regulation of antioxidant enzyme system?

Abstract: Copper has been used from ancient time in various applications. Scientists have exploited its means of exposure and consequences to living organisms. The peculiar property of nanomaterials that is a high surface to volume ratio has increased the range of application in products. Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) are widely used in industrial applications such as semiconductor devices, gas sensor, batteries, solar energy converter, microelectronics, heat transfer fluids and consumer products. In contrast, ac… Show more

“…ROS production is one of the harmful responses showing a more significant impact on the alteration of physiology. The occurrence of hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity as a result of ROS generation due to NP treatment expected in the present study was from previous studies mentioned in a review by Chibber and Shanker (2017). In the current investigation, MDA levels were significantly increased in the subacute study at a high dose in the treated kidney and brain and at medium as well as high doses of the treated liver, whereas GSH levels showed a significant decrease at high doses in the liver, kidney and brain tissues.…”

“…CuO-NPs induced genotoxic responses via the p53 and p38 pathways in A549 lung cells. 11,30,38 CuO-NPs significantly induced DNA damage at 12.5 µg/mL in mouse N2A neuroblastoma cells, with no decrease in cell viability. 28 CuO-NPs induced both cell death and DNA damage in human A549 and BEAS-2B lung epithelial cells via disruption of cell membrane integrity.…”

“…37 CuO-NPs induced cell membrane lysis, which leading to necrosis. 29,38 Various combined parameters including endocytosis pathways, presence or absence of specific signaling receptors, mucus or glycocalyx could be affected the cytotoxic response of CuO-NPs in Caco-2 intestinal cells. 19 Titma et al used Resazurin assay and TEER test to evaluate the changes in metabolic activity and permeability in Caco-2 and A549 cell lines (IC25 was 71 µg/mL).…”

“…The toxicity of CuO NPs is relatively high when compared with other metal oxide NPs. The negative effects are mostly mediated by ROS production followed by oxidative stress, destruction of mitochondrial membranes and the induction of downstream processes, resulting in autophagy and/or apoptosis [16], including e.g., activation of p53 which increases Bax/Bcl2 ratio. CuO NPs also cause cell cycle arrest and DNA damage manifested by γ-H2AX formation.…”

“…They upregulate the expression of DNA repair proteins and directly interact with the structural elements of the cell (e.g., cytoskeleton). This may disrupt the mitotic spindle and cause aberrant cell division [16]. CuO NPs further directly interact with DNA, causing a replication arrest possibly leading to genome instability.…”
