Abstract
⺠Nitrite increased photo-toxicity of nano-TiO2 on human keratinocyte cells in a dose-dependant manner. ⺠Morphological study suggested the cell death may be mediated by apoptosis inducing factor. ⺠Protein nitration was generated in the cells, and the most abundant nitrated protein was identified as cystatin-A. ⺠Tyr35 was the most likely site to be nitrated in cystatin-A.
