dc.description.abstractTitanium dioxide nanomaterials (TiO2) have been frequently applied as food additives, in pharmaceuticals and in personal care products, such as toothpastes. Despite some regulators like EFSA concluded that the absorption of orally administered TiO2 is low, and that the use of TiO2 as a food additive does not raise a genotoxic concern, the presence of TiO2 in human organs was recently reported. This exposure may lead to adverse outcomes and has been poorly investigated. Furthermore, many of the biological effects of TiO2 described in the literature often overlook adequate physicochemical properties and their modification due to NMs interaction with the surrounding physiological matrices happening, e.g, during digestion. This work aimed to investigate in intestinal cells, the cyto- and genotoxic effects of TiO2 after the simulation of the human digestive process using the standardized INFOGEST in vitro digestion method, to better understand their potential negative impacts on the gastrointestinal tract. The TiO2 were characterized before and after digestion using DLS, zeta potential and TEM-EDS. The digestion product was used for cytotoxicity (MTT) and genotoxicity (comet, micronucleus) assays in two types of intestinal cells (Caco-2 and mucus secreting HT29-MTX cells). The results of the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity assays are discussed in view of the TiO2 secondary characteristics, to further understand the potential adverse intestinal outcomes in light of the transformation they suffer during digestion.pt_PT
