| Research Abstract |
The present study analyzes the mechanism of cell damage by photocatalytic effect of titanium dioxide, was done for the purpose of basic research in order to help in the treatment of cancer. Research is composed of three modes, 1) to establish the effective induction and measurement method for the cell cytotoxicity, 2) to classify the type of cell death, and 3) to analyze of the induction mechanism of the cell death. It was possible to establish a system in which they have found a condition that injury effectively the cell, to measure. Further, it was suggested that cell death by the photocatalyst is not apoptosis of various features. Furthermore, the lipid peroxidation of the cell membrane is caused remarkably was confirmed. It is considered that cell death by photocatalyst to cause necrosis by membrane collapses ROS generated by photocatalytic effect has prompted the lipid peroxidation of the cell membrane.
