Abstract

Background: C60 fullerenes and their derivatives are actively investigated for the use in neuroscience. Applications of these nanoscale materials require the examination of their interaction with different neural cells, especially with microglia, because these cells, like other tissue resident phagocytes, are the earliest and most sensitive responders to nanoparticles. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of C60 fullerene and its nanocomplex with doxorubicin (Dox) on the metabolic profile of brain-resident phagocytes-microglia-in vitro. Methods: Resting microglial cells from adult male Wistar rats were used in experiments. Potential C60 fullerene targets in microglial cells were studied by computer simulation. Microglia oxidative metabolism and phagocytic activity were examined by flow cytometry. Griess reaction and arginase activity colorimetric assay were used to explore arginine metabolism. Results: C60 fullerene when used alone did not influence microglia oxidative metabolism and phagocytic activity but shifted arginine metabolism toward the decrease of NO generation. Complexation of C60 fullerene with Dox (C60-Dox) potentiated the ability of the latter to stimulate NO generation. Conclusion: The capability o...Continue Reading
