Human exposure to micro- and nanoplastic (MNP) has become an increasing concern due to its accumulation in the environment and human body. In the human organism, MNP accumulates in various tissues, including the central nervous system, where it is associated which neurotoxic effects. Beyond its inherent toxicity, MNP also acts as a carrier for various chemical contaminants, including metals. Consequently, recent studies emphasize the importance of the evaluation of co-exposure scenarios involving MNP and other types of nanoparticles. In this study, we investigated effects of co-exposure to 20 nm silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and 20 nm polystyrene nanoparticles (PSNPs) on cell viability and the expression of inflammation-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in undifferentiated and differentiated Lund human mesencephalic (LUHMES) cells. While PSNPs alone did not significantly affect cell viability or lncRNA expression, AgNPs markedly reduced viability and deregulated lncRNA expression in both cell types. Notably, in differentiated cells, co-exposure to AgNPs and high concentrations of PSNPs led to a significantly greater reduction in viability compared to AgNPs alone, suggesting a synergistic effect. At the molecular level, both synergistic and antagonistic interactions between AgNPs and PSNPs were observed in the regulation of lncRNA expression, depending on the cell differentiation status. These findings highlight the complex biological interactions between AgNPs and PSNPs and emphasize the importance of considering nanoparticle co-exposures in toxicological evaluations, as combined exposures may significantly affect cellular and molecular responses.
由于微塑料和纳米塑料(MNP)在环境和人体中的积累,人类接触微塑料和纳米塑料已日益引起关注。在人体中,MNP会在包括中枢神经系统在内的各种组织中积累,并与神经毒性作用相关。除了其固有的毒性外,MNP还充当包括金属在内的各种化学污染物的载体。因此,最近的研究强调了评估涉及MNP和其他类型纳米颗粒的共同暴露情况的重要性。在本研究中,我们调查了共同暴露于20纳米银纳米颗粒(AgNP)和20纳米聚苯乙烯纳米颗粒(PSNP)对未分化和分化的隆德人脑中脑(LUHMES)细胞的细胞活力以及炎症相关长链非编码RNA(lncRNA)表达的影响。虽然单独的PSNP对细胞活力或lncRNA表达没有显著影响,但AgNP显著降低了两种细胞类型的活力并使lncRNA表达失调。值得注意的是,在分化细胞中,与单独的AgNP相比,共同暴露于AgNP和高浓度的PSNP导致活力显著降低,表明存在协同效应。在分子水平上,根据细胞分化状态,在lncRNA表达的调节中观察到了AgNP和PSNP之间的协同和拮抗相互作用。这些发现突出了AgNP和PSNP之间复杂的生物相互作用,并强调了在毒理学评估中考虑纳米颗粒共同暴露的重要性,因为联合暴露可能会显著影响细胞和分子反应。
