| Abstract | The biological effects of nano- and micro-sized Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ particles are hypothesized to differ according to the shapes as well as the sizes of the particles. Thus, the mechanisms of interleukin (IL)-1β production and the association between the shape of the Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ particle and its cytotoxicity in macrophage-like THP-1 cells were investigated using particles with three different shapes [N-Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ (<30 nm), S-Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ (2–4 nm × 100–800 nm), L-Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ (2–4 nm × 2800 nm)]. Levels of IL-1β production and cytotoxicity were concentration-dependent and were in the following order: S-Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ > N-Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ > L-Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$. Stimulus of THP-1 cells by Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ particles led to lysosomal destabilization, generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), and subsequent release of cathepsin B. The magnitude of the stimulus was dependent on the shapes and aspect ratios of the particles. Additional results suggested that caspase-1 (NALP3 inflammasome) activation and IL-1β production followed cathepsin B release. In addition, the cell death induced by Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ particles was closely related with cathepsin B leakage. The mode of cell death was necrotic as much as apoptotic. We conclude that Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ particles induce different levels of IL-1β production and cytotoxicity depending on their particle shapes or aspect ratios. The current finding may support the development of safe forms of Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ particles. |

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.
