概要(目的・用途・実施内容)/ Abstract (Aim, Use Applications and Contents)

We screened nanoparticles (NPs) of titanium dioxide and molybdenum for their potential to inhibit the growth of T. gondii in vitro. Previously, we showed that amino acid modification of NPs enhances their selective anti-parasite toxicity. Therefore, to enhance the selective anti-parasitic action of TiO2 , We modified the NP surface using alanine, aspartate, arginine, cysteine, glutamate, tryptophan, tyrosine, and bovine serum albumin. Of the eight bio-modified TiO2 , tryptophan-TiO2  showed the most promising anti- T. gondii specificity and improved host biocompatibility.

実験 / Experimental

For the in vitro model of experimental toxoplasmosis, we used the RH 2F strain of T. gondii. T. gondii RH strain 2F is a luciferase-reporting parasite; therefore, determination of parasite viability was achieved by using a luminescence-based assay of the β-galactosidase (β-gal) activity of the parasite.  Initially, we screened the NPs of TiO2 and Mo for in vitro growth inhibition of T. gondii at various concentrations (between 0.0 and 1000 µg/mL). In addition, we performed a host cytotoxicity assessment at the same concentrations. Based on the initial results, we selected TiO2 NPs for subsequent bio-modification experiments.

結果と考察 / Results and Discussion

We confirmed successful bio-modification of the TiO2 NPs by using UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy. Since the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption bands are distinctive characteristics for stable inorganic NPs, UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy confirmed the effective modification of the TiO2 NPs. The SPR absorption bands for the NPs (modified and naked) were between 190 and 339 nm. TEM images showed that the modified nanoparticles were of different shapes. Furthermore, the bio-modification appeared not to have appreciably affected the diameter of the TiO2 NPs, as shown in the TEM micrographs. In the TEM analyses, the size of the particles remained similar regardless of the presence or type of amino acid.
