Genotoxicity of different nanocarriers: 1 – media (negative control); 2 – ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS, positive control); 3 – 2 kDa poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) polymer; 4 – 10 kDa PEG polymer; 5 – 20 kDa PEG polymer; 6 – quantum dots (QD); 7 – “neutral” liposomes (120 nm); 8 – “neutral” liposomes (600 nm);9 – mesoporous silica (MS) nanoparticles; 10 – polymeric micelles; 11 – cationic liposomes; 12 – poly(amido amine) (PAMAM) dendrimers; 13 – modified PAMAM dendrimers; 14 – poly(propyleneimine) (PPI) dendrimers; 15 – modified PPI dendrimers; 16 – supermagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles; and 17 – modified SPIO nanoparticles. Means ± SD are shown. *P< 0.05 when compared with media (negative control). †P< 0.05 when compared with a corresponding non-modified carrier.
