    A Protein and Membrane Integrity Study of TiO2 Nanoparticles-Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Prevention by Iron Incorporation
    (Springer, 2021-03-31T00:00:00) Barkhade, Tejal; Mahapatra, Santosh Kumar; Banerjee, Indrani
    The paper assessed the toxic effect of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) on isolated mitochondria and its dysfunction prevention after Iron (Fe) incorporation. TiO2 and Fe content TiO2 NPs were synthesized and characterized using XPS, PL spectroscopy, and TEM. The nanostructure interaction with isolated mitochondria was investigated using circular dichroism (CD) confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, atomic force microscopy (AFM), surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), and FT-IR spectroscopy via nonspecific pathway. Fe content TiO2 NPs helps to control the dissolution rate of parent nanomaterial of TiO2 on the mitochondrial membrane. Confocal micrographs and flow cytometry results confirmed that Rhodamine 123 dye intensity get increased after interaction with Fe content TiO2 NPs which states the integrity of the mitochondrial membrane. AFM results revealed that TiO2 induces the swelling of mitochondrial tubules and also impaired the mitochondrial structure, whereas Fe content TiO2 NPs interaction prevents the impairment of mitochondrial tubules. The denaturation of a membrane protein by TiO2 interactions was observed through CD Spectroscopy. Further, nano-bio-interface study was performed using SERS, through shifting and extinct of peaks affiliated to membrane proteins and lipids. However, Fe content TiO2-treated samples showed a significant increase in the membrane potential of mitochondria via flow cytometry results.

    Iron content titanium dioxide nanoparticles as exogenous contrast agent for tissue imaging using swept-source optical coherence tomography
    (American Institute of Physics Inc., 2021-01-08T00:00:00) Barkhade, Tejal; Indoliya, Abhishek; Poddar, Raju; Mahapatra, Santosh Kumar; Banerjee, Indrani
    Ex vivo tissue imaging was performed by swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) using titanium dioxide (TiO2) and Fe content TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs). The comparative effects of TiO2 and Fe content TiO2 NPs in terms of contrast enhancement, penetration, scattering, and accumulation in the chicken breast tissue have been monitored at different exposure times. Powder NP samples were synthesized using the sol-gel method, and characterization was carried out via transmission electron microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy techniques. Fe incorporation in the TiO2 matrix reduces its toxic effect on tissue skin and produces a safe exogenous contrast agent, which is analyzed by SS-OCT. The scattering coefficients and contrast to noise ratio of the tissues with and without NPs were determined to study the imaging efficacy. The improvement in the coefficient was observed with an increase in the exposure time of NPs. Nano-TiO2 has shown the ability to penetrate within the tissue layer up to 780 ?m while Fe content TiO2 NPs samples showed the lowest rate of penetration up to 210 ?m after a 30 min time interval. � 2021 Author(s).
