description Background: Recent studies have raised concerns about genotoxic effects associated with titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO<sub>2</sub> NPs), which are commonly used. This meta-analysis aims to investigate the potential genotoxicity of TiO<sub>2</sub> NPs and explore influencing factors. Methods: This study systematically searched Chinese and English literature. The literature underwent quality evaluation, including reliability evaluation using the toxicological data reliability assessment method and relevance evaluation using routine evaluation forms. Meta-analysis and subgroup analyses were performed using R software, with the standardized mean difference (SMD) as the combined effect value. Results: A total of 26 studies met the inclusion criteria and passed the quality assessment. Meta-analysis results indicated that the SMD for each genotoxic endpoint was greater than 0. This finding implies a significant association between TiO<sub>2</sub> NP treatment and DNA damage and chromosome damage both in vivo and in vitro and gene mutation in vitro. Subgroup analysis revealed that short-term exposure to TiO<sub>2</sub> NPs increased DNA damage. Rats and cancer cells exhibited heightened susceptibility to DNA damage triggered by TiO<sub>2</sub> NPs (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Conclusions: TiO<sub>2</sub> NPs could induce genotoxicity, including DNA damage, chromosomal damage, and in vitro gene mutations. The mechanism of DNA damage response plays a key role in the genotoxicity induced by TiO<sub>2</sub> NPs.
