In Japan, the products are currently uniformly controlled as crystalline silica, which is a substance subject to labeling and notification requirements. However, since the toxicity of silica particles reportedly varies depending on its characteristics, businesses are encouraged to conduct appropriate risk assessments for each product to prevent silicosis. Recently, silica particles have been reported to induce lysosomal membrane damage, leading to the activation of proinflammatory factors. An indirect method to evaluate lysosomal membrane damage known as the erythrocyte hemolysis assay, in which the erythrocyte membrane is assumed to be the lysosomal membrane, was performed. This study aimed to examine the possibility of constructing a screening system for proinflammatory potential prediction of silica particles based on their erythrocyte hemolytic activity.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Hemolysis assays were performed on the silica particles with different sizes, crystallinity, and surface functional groups using the erythrocytes from a healthy volunteer. Additionally, the hemolytic activity of other element particles was compared with that of the silica particles, and 27 types of commercially available crystalline silica particle products underwent screening trials.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The hemolytic activity of silica particles was higher in crystalline than that in amorphous and increased with the decreasing size. The hemolytic reaction was particular to silica particles and rarely occurred in particles of other elements.

The hemolytic activities of the crystalline silica products used industrially significantly differed.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This study revealed that particle properties, such as size, crystallinity, and surface functional groups, affect the hemolytic activity of silica particles. Particularly, the surface functional groups (silanol groups) that are unique to silica particles were considered to be strongly involved in hemolytic activities.
