BEAS-2B cell viability decreased with decreasing doses of Ag (diameters : 40~70 and 100 nm) and MWCNT (diameters : 4~6 and 10~15 nm) nano-materials. At the higher exposure ( 200 ug/ml), all materials induced significant cell damage. Nano Ag materials increased apoptosis and cytokine expression (IL-6 and IL-8) when over 100 ug/ml concentration. All MWCNTs weakly increased apoptosis and did not significantly increased cytokine expression. In conclusion, we suggest that Ag and MWCNT nano-materials induce variable extents of cellular toxicity in a dose-dependent and size-dependent. | | ISBN: | 978-1-4200-8504-4 |
