- Quaternary mixtures of TiO2NP, CeO2NP, arsenic, and mercury potentiate A549, HepG2 and SH-SY5Y cells cytotoxicityPublication . Rosário, Fernanda; Costa, Carla; Teixeira, João; Reis, Ana TeresaIntroduction: Nanoparticles (NP) released to the environment interact with pre-existing contaminants, potentially leading to cytotoxicity and raising concerns regarding human safety to co- exposure to multiple chemicals. This work assesses and compares viability of A549, HepG2 and SH-SY5Y cells after short (24h; WST-1 assay) and long-term (7 days; clonogenic assay) exposure to single and quaternary mixtures of: titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NP) 0.75; 75 mg/L; cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2NP) 0.1; 10 μg/L; arsenic (As) 0.01; 0.75; 2.5 mg/L; and mercury (Hg) 0.5; 10; 20 mg/L. Mixtures were divided in four groups: low, mid-low, mid- high and high.
- Co-exposure with CeO2NPs results in an antagonistic effect on the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of TiO2NP on A549 cellsPublication . Rosário, Fernanda; Vilaça, Cláudia; Costa, Carla; Lopes, Cláudia B.; Estrada, Ana C.; Tavares, Daniela S.; Teixeira, João Paulo; Reis, Ana TeresaObjective: Assess the CYTOTOXIC and GENOTOXIC POTENTIAL resulting from titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NP) and cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2NP) co-exposure in human lung epithelial cell line A549.
