The cytotoxicity of 100 μg/mL Bi2O3 particles in Chang liver and WRL 68 cells was measured using colorimetric cell viability (MTT) assay, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) assay and mRNA expressions of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress genes, GRP 78 and CHOP.

After 24 hours incubation, the cytotoxicity assays in both cell lines showed Bi2O3 particles has reduced cytotoxicity trend with higher reaction temperatures and bigger particles size. Chang liver cells are more susceptible to Bi2O3 particles cytotoxicity depicted with higher reduction of treated cells and high level of ROS while WRL 68 cells has higher resistant as only Bi2O3 particles synthesized at 60 °C was observed to be cytotoxic and all Bi2O3 particles induced low level of ROS.
