Popis: Indium phosphide quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as a new class of fluorescent nanocrystals for manifold applications, from biophotonics to nanomedicine. Recent efforts in improving the photoluminescence quantum yield, the chemical stability and the biocompatibility turned them into a valid alternative to well established Cd-based nanocrystals. In vitro studies provided first evidence for the lower toxicity of In-based QDs. Nonetheless, an urgent need exists for further assessment of the potential toxic effects in vivo. Here we use the freshwater polyp Hydra vulgaris, a well-established model previously adopted to assess the toxicity of CdSe/CdS nanorods and CdTe QDs. A systematic multilevel analysis was carried out in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro comparing toxicity end points of CdSe- and InP-based QDs, passivated by ZnSe/ZnS shells and surface functionalized with penicillamine. Final results demonstrate that both the chemical composition of the QD core (InP vs CdSe) and the shell play a crucial role for final outcomes. Remarkably, in absence of in vivo alterations, cell and molecular alterations revealed hidden toxicity aspects, highlighting the biosafety of InP-based nanocrystals and outlining the importance of integrated multilevel analyses for proper QDs risk assessment.
