Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

We studied the effect of oral administration of metallic silver nanoparticles to rats on the proteome of the liver microsomal fraction. Nanoparticles (5-80 nm) were administered daily to growing Wistar male rats over 92 days. Controls received pure water. To control the effect of the carrier, the rats were administered aqueous solution of a stabilizer polyvinylpyrrolidone. The protein composition (proteome) of the liver microsomal fraction was analyzed by 2D-electrophoresis with identification of variable protein spots using the high-resolution nanoHPLC-MS/MS. Eight, 6, and 8 proteins absent in the control groups appeared in the microsomal fraction under the action of nanoparticles in doses of 0.1, 1, and 10 mg/kg body weight, among these, proteasome activator complex subunit 1 (Psme1 gene), and the heat shock protein HSP60 (Hspd1 gene) were reliably identified. The consumption of silver nanoparticles led to disappearance of protein of β2a tubulin chain (Tuba1b gene) from the microsomal fraction. The expression of catalase, present in the proteome of the liver microsomal fraction in animals of all groups was significantly decreased after consumption of silver nanoparticles in doses of 0.1 and 10 mg/kg. The observed changes in the proteome are considered as manifestations of hepatotoxicity of silver nanoparticles and can be related to the antagonistic effect of silver on the status of the essential trace element selenium.
