ABSTRACT
Silica nanoparticles (SNPs) are widely explored as drug carriers, gene delivery vehicles, and as nanoparticles intended for bone and tissue engineering. SNPs are highly evident through various clinical trials for a wide range of biomedical applications. SNPs are biocompatible and promising nanoparticles for next-generation therapeutics. However, despite the well-established importance of SNPs, metabolomics methods for the SNPs remain elusive which renders its maximal clinical translation. We applied 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy to investigate the metabolomics profile in Zebrafish (Danio rerio) exposed to SNPs. Zebrafish were exposed to the SNPs (10.0, 25.0, and 50.0 µg/mL) for 72 h and whole-body samples were subjected for targeted profiling. Pattern recognition of 1H NMR spectral data depicted alterations in the metabolomic profiles between control and SNPs exposed zebrafish. We found that tryptophane, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (G3PC), and o-phosphocholine were decreased. The metabolic expression of niacinamide, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), citrate, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and xanthine were increased in zebrafish with SNPs treatment. We are report for the first time on metabolite alterations and phenotypic expression in zebrafish via 1H NMR. These results demonstrate that SNPs can adversely affect the significant metabolic pathways involved in energy, amino acids, cellular membrane, lipids, and fatty acid metabolisms. Metabolomics profiling may be able to detect metabolic dysregulation in SNPs-treated zebrafish and establish a foundation for further toxicological studies.
