There is an increase in the interest in evaluation of the cytotoxicity induced by nanostructured systems, because the use of such technology may affect the health. The objective of this work was to evaluate the toxicity of lipid and polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) in cell culture. Lipid nanoparticles (F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F7 and F8) and polymeric (F9) NPs were added in growing concentrations in the cell culture of Vero and MDCK cell lines. The determination of cytotoxicity was performed using MTT and Neutral Red methods. NPs F1, F2, F4 and F5 presented cytotoxicity to Vero cell lineage, and NPs F4 and F5 to MDCK cells. The generation of reactive oxygen species was detected fluorometrically, using dichlorofluorescein as a probe. NPs F4, F5 and F8 increased the generation of ROS in both cell lines. The mitochondrial membrane potential was also evaluated by fluorometric method, using the probe JC-1. The F5 NPs decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential. The results indicate that the nanoparticles F1, F2, F4 and F5 were cytotoxic, while only the NPs F4, F5 and F8 increased the oxidative stress, which can induce cell death by necrosis or apoptosis. The NP F5 also seems to lead a decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential, which is a key point in the cell death cascade. The other NPs did not influence cell viability or cell metabolism in the lineages tested. We are further investigating the kind of cell death that the cytotoxic NPs are inducing.
