Study the immunotoxic effect of reduced graphene [Dataset]

Description

The cytotoxicity response of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was investigated in monocytes (THP-1) and human T cells (Jurkat). A mean effective concentration (EC50-24 h) of 121.45 ± 11.39 μg/mL and 207.51 ± 21.67 μg/mL for cytotoxicity was obtained in THP-1 and Jurkat cells, respectively. rGO decreased THP-1 monocytes differentiation at the highest concentration after 48 h of exposure. Regarding the inflammatory response at genetic level, changes (up and downregulations) were observed depending on the cell line, the exposure time and the interleukins investigated. Apoptosis/ necrosis genes expression was not altered in THP-1 cells but in Jurkat cells BAX and BCL-2 were downregulated after 4h. Finally, rGO did not trigger a significant release of any cytokine at any exposure time assayed. Dataset contains the numerical values of the results obtained regarding cytotoxicity, differentiation, gene expression and interleukin leakage.
