| Abstract | Nanotechnology is a highly promising molecular technology which may present a variety of hazards for environmental and human health. In this study, we investigated about the cytotoxicity and the mechanisms of action of LUDOX® silica nanoparticles (commercial colloidal silica nanoparticles in aqueous phase) with three different types (different size, stabilizers, and coating materials) in human neuronal cell line. Various dosages were treated for different incubation times and measured cell viability with MTT assay. Our results show that alumina coated smaller LUDOX® CL (13.3 nm) is less toxic than LUDOX® AS-20 (16.9 nm) and AM (15.3 nm) in neuronal cells. We measured the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) to investigate the mechanism of cell death induced by LUDOX® nanoparticles. Treatment of 48 h of silica AS-20 and AM induced the production of ROS with a dose-dependent relationship. This treatment also did induce DNA-double strand breaks. Cells exposed to alumina coated silica nanoparticle showed a less sensitive response than those exposed to uncoated silica. Nevertheless, the parameters tested were rather limited in terms of gaining a full understanding of the oxidative stress and cellular response due to exposure to silica nanoparticles. Further studies on the mechanism to more clearly elucidate the silica induced neuronal cell death, as well as on the relationship between the physico-chemical properties of nanoparticles and their cytotoxicity are warranted to gain an understanding of the phenomenon of different sensitivities of various silica nanoparticles. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
