Abstract

Cytotoxicity of human cervical carcinoma cell line (HeLa cells) labeled with the nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si) particles before and after ultraviolet (UV) light exposure has studied on the viability and cellular membrane damages. The viability and cellular membrane damages of HeLa cells changed at high particle concentration of 1.12 mg/ml. The viability of HeLa cells labeled with the UV-exposed nc-Si particles was higher than that of unexposed nc-Si particles. However, the variation of cellular membrane damages was almost same for the nc-Si particles before and after UV exposure. These results substantiated the low toxicity of nc-Si particles. Moreover, the HeLa cells labeled with the nc-Si particles exhibited green fluorescence. On the other hand, in vivo test of nc-Si particles estimated by the visualization observation of the circulation from the lymphatic vessel to the lymph node of a mouse. The transfer pathway of nc-Si particles could be clearly monitored by the strong emission of red light.
