Shifts in oxidation states of cerium oxide nanoparticles detected inside intact hydrated cells and organelles

Abstract: Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CNPs) have been shown to induce diverse biological effects, ranging from toxic to beneficial. The beneficial effects have been attributed to the potential antioxidant activity of CNPs via certain redox reactions, depending on their oxidation state or Ce3+/Ce4+ ratio. However, this ratio is strongly dependent on the environment and age of the nanoparticles and it is unclear whether and how the complex intracellular environment impacts this ratio and the possible redox reactions of CN… Show more

“…The treatment time by the scavengers was shortened to 6 h for DPI and 24 h for ascorbic acid to minimize their effects on cell proliferation and metabolism. The intracellular ROS level was quantitated using ROS indicator 2′,7′‐dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (H 2 DCFDA), which converts to highly fluorescent 2′,7′‐dichlorodihydrofluorescein (DCF) upon oxidation by intracellular ROS . The intracellular ROS level of HeLa cells in terms of DCF fluorescent intensity decreased to about 56% with 8 × 10 −6 m DPI and to about 38% with 400 × 10 −6 m ascorbic acid ( Figure a,b).…”

“…As the oxidizing power of the solution lowered the particles switched from the +4 to the +3 state (Kuchibhatla et al, 2012 ). Changes or variations in the oxidation state of ceria NPs have also been observed within intact hydrated cells and organelles (Szymanski et al, 2015 ).…”

“…Enhanced dissolution and transformations of Ag and ZnO NPs have been observed to occur at specific locations within cells (Liu et al, 2012 ; Mihai et al, 2015 ; Theodorou et al, 2017 ). Because of the time and effort involved, examination of transformations that occur within biological, environmental, and some materials systems would be accelerated by the development and advancement of the ability to make in situ real-time measurements (Sarathy et al, 2008 ; Szymanski et al, 2015 ).…”

“…This suggests that a noticeable reduction of the cerium oxide nanoparticles occurs in the cells. The authors postulate that differences in pH of the endocytic vesicles (pH = 7.4) versus lysosome (pH = 4.5) may also be the reason for these differences in surface chemistry [50]. Qi and company synthesized PPEG (Phosphonated-Polyethylene glycol oligomers) surface modified nano-powder for re-dispersion in aqueous solutions.…”
