| 1 | Role of hypoxia inducible factor 1α in cobalt nanoparticle induced cytotoxicity of human THP-1 macrophages显示文摘Cobalt is one of the main components of metal hip prostheses and cobalt nanoparticles(CoNPs)produced from wear cause inflammation,bone lyses and cytotoxicity at high concentrations.Cobalt ions mimic hypoxia in the presence of normal oxygen levels,and activate hypoxic signalling by stabilising hypoxia inducible transcription factor 1α(HIF1α).This study aimed to assess in vitro the functional role of HIF1αin CoNP induced cellular cytotoxicity.HIF1α,lysosomal pH,tumour necrosis factorαand interleukin 1βexpression were analysed in THP-1 macrophages treated with CoNP(0,10 and 100μg/mL).HIF1αknock out assays were performed using small interfering RNA to assess the role of HIF1αin CoNP-induced cytotoxicity.Increasing CoNP concentration increased lysosomal activity and acidity in THP-1 macrophages.Higher doses of CoNP significantly reduced cell viability,stimulated caspase 3 activity and apoptosis.Reducing HIF1αactivity increased the pro-inflammatory activity of tumour necrosis factorαand interleukin 1β,but had no significant impact on cellular cytotoxicity.This suggests that whilst CoNP promotes cytotoxicity and cellular inflammation,the apoptotic mechanism is not dependent on HIF1α. | Wendy Rachel Francis Zhao Liu Sian E Owens Xiao Wang Huaming Xue Alex Lord Venkateswarlu Kanamarlapudi Zhidao Xia | 2021 | Biomaterials Translational2021，2，2： | 1 |
