Although quantum dot (QD)-induced toxicity occurs due to free radicals,
generation of oxidative stress mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS)
formation is considered an important mechanism. However, free radical mechanisms
are essentially difficult to elucidate at the molecular level because most
biologically relevant free radicals are highly reactive and short-lived, making
them difficult to directly detect, especially in vivo. Antioxidants play an
important role in preventing or, in most cases, limiting the damage caused by
ROS. Healthy people and animals possess many endogenous antioxidative substances
that scavenge free radicals in vivo to maintain the redox balance and genome
integrity. The antioxidant capacity of an organism is highly important but seldom
studied. In this study, the dose and time effects of CdTe QDs on the antioxidant
capacities of the liver and kidneys were investigated in mice using the electron
paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin-trapping technique. We found that the liver and
kidneys of healthy mice contain specific antioxidant capacities that scavenge ·OH
and ·O(2)(-). Furthermore, oxidative stress markers (superoxide dismutase [SOD],
catalase [CAT], glutathione peroxidase [GPx], glutathione [GSH] and
malondialdehyde [MDA]) were examined. In dose course studies, the free radical
scavenging efficiencies of the liver and kidneys were found to gradually decrease
with increasing concentration of CdTe QD exposure. The activities and levels of
SOD, CAT, GPx and MDA were observed to increase in treated groups, whereas those
of GSH were reduced. The time course studies revealed that the QD-induced
antioxidant efficiency reduction was time dependent with GSH decrease and could
recover after a period of time. These experimental results offer new information
on QD toxicity in vivo. Specifically, CdTe QDs can deplete GSH to reduce the
elimination ability of the liver and kidneys for ·OH and ·O(2)(-), thus inducing
oxidative damage to tissues.
