TOXICOLOGY LETTERS, 191(2-3), 149–157.

Contributors: L. Zhang n, J. Yang*, A. Barron* & N. Monteiro-Riviere n

author keywords: Derivatized fullerene; Endocytosis; Cytotoxicity; Human epidermal keratinocytes; Cellular uptake; Nanoparticle
MeSH headings : Adenosine Triphosphate / metabolism; Cell Line; Cell Proliferation / drug effects; Cell Survival / drug effects; Coloring Agents; Drug Delivery Systems; Flow Cytometry; Fluorescein-5-isothiocyanate; Fluorescent Dyes; Fullerenes / chemistry; Fullerenes / toxicity; Humans; Lysosomes / drug effects; Microscopy, Confocal; Microscopy, Electron, Transmission; Microscopy, Fluorescence; Models, Molecular; Spectrophotometry, Ultraviolet; Tetrazolium Salts; Thiazoles
TL;DR: Results showed that the endocytic pathways could be mediated by caveolae/lipid rafts and cytoskeletal components and a scavenger receptor inhibitor completely blocked the uptake of Baa-Lys(FITC)-(Lys)(8)-OH, suggesting a specific endocytics pathway was strongly involved in Baa(F ITC)- (Lys)8-OH cellular uptake.

Lectins modulate multi-walled carbon nanotubes cellular uptake in human epidermal keratinocytes

TOXICOLOGY IN VITRO, 24(2), 546–551.

By: L. Zhang n & N. Monteiro-Riviere n

Contributors: L. Zhang n & N. Monteiro-Riviere n

author keywords: Nanomaterials; Multi-walled carbon nanotubes; Lectins; Endocytic pathways; Melanosome transfer pathway; Cellular uptake
MeSH headings : Epidermal Cells; Humans; Keratinocytes / drug effects; Keratinocytes / metabolism; Lotus / chemistry; Solanum lycopersicum / chemistry; Microscopy, Electron, Transmission; Nanotubes, Carbon / ultrastructure; Peas / chemistry; Plant Lectins / pharmacology
TL;DR: Lectins are inhibitors of the melanosome transfer pathway was used to study the uptake of MWCNT in keratinocytes, to see if they played a role in reducing the cellular uptake of carbon nanotubes in HEK, and studies confirmed that lectin cocktails decreased M WCNT interaction at the cell surface and uptake.

Zhang, L. W., & Monteiro-Riviere, N. A. (2009, July). TOXICOLOGICAL SCIENCES, Vol. 110, pp. 138–155.

By: L. Zhang n & N. Monteiro-Riviere n

Contributors: L. Zhang n & N. Monteiro-Riviere n

author keywords: quantum dot nanoparticles; endocytosis; lipid rafts; G-protein-coupled receptor; scavenger receptor; cytotoxicity
MeSH headings : Actins / metabolism; Cell Membrane / metabolism; Cell Membrane / ultrastructure; Cells / drug effects; Cells / metabolism; Cytoplasm / metabolism; Cytoplasm / ultrastructure; Cytoskeleton / drug effects; Endosomes / drug effects; Flow Cytometry; Free Radical Scavengers / pharmacology; Humans; Immunohistochemistry; Indicators and Reagents; Keratinocytes / drug effects; Lysosomes / metabolism; Lysosomes / ultrastructure; Membrane Microdomains / drug effects; Membrane Potentials / drug effects; Microscopy, Confocal; Microscopy, Electron, Transmission; Microscopy, Fluorescence; Pinocytosis / drug effects; Quantum Dots; Spectrometry, Fluorescence; Transport Vesicles / drug effects; Transport Vesicles / metabolism
TL;DR: It is shown that QD with a carboxylic acid surface coating were recognized by lipid rafts but not by clathrin or caveolae in human epidermal keratinocytes (HEKs) and endocytic pathways are primarily regulated by the G-protein-coupled receptor associated pathway and low density lipoprotein receptor/scavenger receptor.
