Ozidative and binding effect of Nano-TiO2 on Plasmid DNA and Pepsin
With the development of nano material industry, more and more attention has been paid on the biological effect of nano materials. However, little research focused on the effect of nano TiO2 on protein level. In this study, we detected the toxic effect of nano TiO2 (50～60nm) on DNA and functional proteinase. The oxidative damage of nano TiO2 on DNA was detected by gel electrophoresis and HPLC. Anson method was used to study the inhibition of nano TiO2 on pepsin, and the mechanism of the reaction was further researched by the method of UV-Vis scan and TEM. The results showed that the ratio of super-coiled DNA decreased significantly both under UV radiation and visible light. Levels of 8-OHdG generated from DNA increased from 27.66 8-OHdG/104 dG to 296.69 8-OHdG/104 dG after treated with nano TiO2. After water incubated with nano TiO2 at 37℃, the activity of pepsin decreased with the increase of the concentration of particels, UV-Vis scan and TEM detection proved the binding effect of nano TiO2 on pepsin, which indicated potential usage for oral drug delivery of nano TiO2.
