Nanoparticles are widely used in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food industries, but their safety and genetic toxicity are still unclear. In this study, the genotoxicity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (titanium dioxide nanoparticles) were evaluated by in vitro comet assay and PIG-A assay in TK6 cells. We exposed TK6 cells to two types of nanoparticles at the highest concentration of 200 μmol/L for 4 h and conducted the in vitro comet assay. We examined the mutation results of PIG-A gene in vitro after 4 h, 24 ho and 10 days of exposure, respectively. We also examined the endocytosis of nanoparticles in TK6 cells exposed to nanoparticles for 24 h. In the endocytosis assay, with the increase of nano-material concentration, the side scatter (SSC) of TK6 cells in flow cytometry showed a concentration-dependent and time-dependent increase, indicating that TK6 cells could uptake both types of nanoparticles. In the comet assay, AgNPs could induce a concentration-dependent increase in DNA tail intensity. However, titanium dioxide NPs could not induce the concentration-dependent increase of DNA fluorescence intensity of comet tail. In the PIG-A assay, both AgNPs and TiO2NPs did not induce PIG-A gene mutation frequency in TK6 cells. The results showed that AgNPs could induce DNA damage in TK6 cells, but could not induce increase of PIG-A gene mutation frequency. TiO2NPs neither induce DNA damage in TK6 cells nor increase PIG-A mutation frequency. Further tests are needed to determine whether TiO2NPs are genotoxic.
