Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) hold great promise in food, industrial and biomedical applications due to their unique physicochemical properties. However, influences of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), a likely route for Au NPs administration, on the physicochemical properties of Au NPs has been rarely evaluated. Here, we investigated the influence of GIT fluids on the physicochemical properties of Au NPs (5, 50, and 100 nm) and their implications on intestinal epithelial permeability in vitro. Au NPs aggregated in fasted gastric fluids and generated hydroxyl radicals in the presence of H2O2. Cell studies showed that GIT fluids incubation of Au NPs affected the cellular uptake of Au NPs but did not induce cytotoxicity or disturb the intestinal epithelial permeability.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part C: Environmental Carcinogenesis and Ecotoxicology Reviews aims at rapid publication of reviews on important subjects in various areas of environmental toxicology, health and carcinogenesis. Among the subjects covered are risk assessments of chemicals including nanomaterials and physical agents of environmental significance, harmful organisms found in the environment and toxic agents they produce, and food and drugs as environmental factors. It includes basic research, methodology, host susceptibility, mechanistic studies, theoretical modeling, environmental and geotechnical engineering, and environmental protection. Submission to this journal is primarily on an invitational basis. All submissions should be made through the Editorial Manager site, and are subject to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. Please review the instructions for authors for manuscript submission guidance.
