Developmental Toxicity of the Neural Tube Induced by Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles in Mouse Embryos |
|
| چکیده انگلیسی مقاله |
Background: This study investigated the potential effects of Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (Tio2NPs) followed by maternal gavage on fetal development and neural tube formation during pregnancy in mice. Methods: Thirty pregnant mice were randomly divided into five main study groups including the untreated control and 4 experimental groups (n=6 per group). The control group was treated with normal saline and the experimental groups were orally treated with doses of 30, 150, 300, and 500 mg/kg Body Weight (BW) of Tio2NPs during pregnancy. On gestational day 16 and 19 (n=3 per group), pregnant mice were euthanized and then examined for neural tube defects and compared with control. Serial transverse sections were prepared in both cranial region and in lumbar region of spinal cord. Results: Treatment with Tio2NPs resulted in low fetal weight and short length, dilation of lateral ventricle, thinning of cerebral cortex and spinal cord, spina bifida occulta and an increase in the number of apoptotic neurons in exposed embryos at doses of 300 and 500 mg/kg (p< 0.05). Conclusion: It seems that exposure to nanoparticles of Tio2 during pregnancy induces growth retardation and for the first time, teratogenicity of this nanomaterial in neural tube development and induction of defects such as spinal bifida, reduction in cortical thickness and dilatation of lateral ventricles were verified which can be related to incidence of apoptosis in central nervous system. |
