Abstract To understand the genotoxicity induced in the liver by silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and silver ions, an engineered gold nanorod core/silver shell nanostructure (Au@Ag NR) and humanized hepatocyte HepaRG cells were used in this study. The involvement of oxidative stress and cell cycle arrest in the DNA and chromosome damage induced by 0.4 - 20 µg.mL-1 Au@Ag NR were investigated by comet assay, γ-H2AX assay, and micronucleus test. Further, the distribution of Au@Ag NR was analyzed. Our results demonstrated that both Ag+ and Au@Ag NR led to DNA cleavage and chromosome damage (clastogenicity) in HepaRG cells, and that the Au@Ag NR retained in the nucleus may further release Ag+, aggravating the damages, which are mainly caused by cell cycle arrest and ROS formation. The results reveal the correlation between the intracellular accumulation, Ag+ ion release as well as the potential genotoxicity of AgNPs.
