Abstract:
Hydroxyapatite (HAP) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) nanoparticles (NPs) are in current use covering a wide range of medical applications, hence, it is indispensable to study the potential side effect acting on living organism, and to figure out the biocompatibility evaluation model of nanoparticles for standardization and methodology. In the present study, HAP and TCP NPs were selected and their diameters were within 30-80nm. Cytotoxicity in vitro was analyzed by agar overlay and direct contact exposure test was conducted to evaluate potential toxicity to SD rat macrophages, and hemolysis test of NPs was performed in compliance with ISO 10993-12 guidelines. The results showed that both HAP and TCP NPs could inhibit proliferation of macrophages when their concentration was reached to 20 µg/ml, and the extent of haemolysis would be increased more than 5% while 1000µg/ml NPs were contacted with rabbit blood cells. Furthermore, TCP NPs could induce obvious hemolysis reaction and inhibit proliferation of macrophages compared with group of HAP NPs at the same concentration.
