Abstract
The interaction of nanoparticles with the biological system has increased with the increasing popularity of nanomedicines. Red blood cells (RBCs) are very sensitive, and abundant cells in the blood. They are highly prone to oxidative damage due to constant interaction with oxygen itself, foreign particles in the blood, and the lack of repair mechanism. The cell membrane of RBCs undergoes lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, and heme degradation which results in altered membrane permeability, changes in the morphology, and functioning of RBCs. The nanoparticles induce oxidative stress, hemolysis, morphological changes, membrane deformability, and alterations in hemoglobin structure in RBCs. In this review, the effects of metallic nanoparticles and their modifications on the physiology, and life span of RBCs are discussed. The detailed analysis of the antioxidant enzymes-like activity of metal nanoparticles is expected to highlight the beneficial use of these metal nanoparticles in RBCs against oxidative stress and the development of new biosafe nanodrugs.
