Length-dependent pathogenic effects of nickel nanowires in the lungs and the peritoneal cavity

Abstract: The use of fibre-shaped nanomaterials in commercial applications has met with concern that they could cause health effects similar to those seen with pathogenic fibres such as certain forms of asbestos. Of the attributes which form the fibre pathogenicity paradigm, fibre length is thought to be a critical factor in determining fibre toxicity. We have previously shown that carbon nanotubes display such length-dependent pathogenicity but it remains unclear if other forms of fibrous nanomaterials conform to the f… Show more

“…In addition to work on biological and biomedical applications, fundamental studies involving internalization into different cell lines, 34 the dependence of cytotoxicity on incubation time and NW concentration, 33,34 and length-dependent cytotoxicity 35 have been reported. Moreover, cellular processes such as increased levels of reactive oxygen species, 27 cell viability reduction, 27,36 and cell membrane leakage 36 have been shown to be activated solely by the incubation of cells with Ni NWs.…”

“…Recently, NiONPs were taken up by kidney cell line and induced dose-dependent DNA damage and apoptotic/nephritic effects [18]. Reference [30] studied the effects intraperitoneal injection and aspiration effects of nickel nanowire with diameter of 200 nm and length of more than 20 lm in mice and found out that they caused strong inflammation in mouse peritoneal cavity and lung respectively, in a dose-dependent manner. Nanoparticles were also found to up-regulate the transcription of various pro-inflammatory genes, including tumor necrosis factor-α and IL (interleukins)-1, IL-6 and IL-8, by activating nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling.…”
