Atp Production

Freely-dissolved silicon quantum dots were prepared by thermal hydrosilation of 1-undecene at high-porosity porous silicon under reflux in toluene. This reaction produces a suspension of alkyl-capped silicon quantum dots (alkyl SiQDs) with bright orange luminescence, a core Si nanocrystal diameter of about 2.5 nm and a total particle diameter of about 5 nm. Previous work has shown that these particles are rapidly endocytosed by malignant cell lines and have little or no acute toxicity as judged by the standard 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay for viability and the Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay for apoptosis. We have extended this work to the CACO-2 cell line, an established model for the human small intestinal mucosa, and demonstrate that neither acute nor chronic (14 days) toxicity is observed as judged by cell morphology, viability, ATP production, ROS production and DNA damage (single cell gel electrophoresis) at doses of 50–200 μ g mL − 1 . Quantitative assessment of the extent of uptake of alkyl SiQDs by CACO-2, HeLa, HepG2, and Huh7 cell lines by flow cytometry showed a wide variation. The liver cell lines (HepG2 and Huh7) were the most active and HeLa and CACO-2 showed comparable activity. Previous work has reported a cholesterol-sensitivity of the endocytosis (HeLa), which suggests a caveolin-mediated pathway. However, gene expression analysis by quantitative real–time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) indicates very low levels of caveolins 1 and 2 in HepG2 and much higher levels in HeLa. The data suggest that the mechanism of endocytosis of the alkyl SiQDs is cell-line dependent.
