Silver nanoparticles induce toxicity in A549 cells via ROS-dependent and ROS-independent pathways

TLDR
Observations allow us to propose that the in vitro toxic effects of AgNPs on A549 cells are mediated via both ROS-dependent (cytotoxicity) and ROS-independent (cell cycle arrest) pathways.

Mechanisms of nanoparticle-induced oxidative stress and toxicity.

TL;DR: Through physicochemical characterization and understanding of the multiple signaling cascades activated by NP-induced ROS, a systemic toxicity screen with oxidative stress as a predictive model for NP- induced injury can be developed.

Microplastic Size-Dependent Toxicity, Oxidative Stress Induction, and p-JNK and p-p38 Activation in the Monogonont Rotifer (Brachionus koreanus)

TL;DR: In vitro tests revealed that antioxidant-related enzymes and MAPK signaling pathways were significantly activated in response to microplastic exposure in a size-dependent manner, suggesting that 6-μm microbeads are more effectively egested from B. koreanus than 0.05- or 0.5- μm microBeads.

In vitro toxicity of nanoparticles in BRL 3A rat liver cells

TL;DR: The microscopic studies demonstrated that nanoparticle-exposed cells at higher doses became abnormal in size, displaying cellular shrinkage, and an acquisition of an irregular shape, which suggested that cytotoxicity of Ag (15, 100 nm) in liver cells is likely to be mediated through oxidative stress.
