Molecular mechanisms underlying zinc oxide nanoparticle induced insulin resistance in mice

ABSTRACT: Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) represent an important class of commercially applied materials. Recently, adverse effects of ZnO NPs were found in humans and animals following ingestion, although the effects on endocrine system disease remain unclear. In this study, ZnO NPs were orally administered to mice, and at doses of 25 mg/kg bw (body weight) ZnO NPs and above, plasma glucose increased significantly. The genome-wide effects of ZnO NPs were then investigated using RNA-sequencing technology. In the cluster analysis, the most significantly enriched Gene Ontology (GO) terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways concerned membranes and their close association with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Biochemical and gene and protein expression analyses revealed that ZnO NPs activated a xenobiotic biodegradation response and increased the expression of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes in mice livers, leading to ER stress. The ER stress increased ROS generation. The high levels of ROS activated the MAPK and NF-B pathways and induced an inflammation response, resulting in the phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate 1. Thus, the insulin resistance that developed was the primary mechanism for the increase in the plasma glucose of mice treated orally with ZnO NPs.

RNA sequencing analysis shows that titanium dioxide nanoparticles induce endoplasmic reticulum stress, which has a central role in mediating plasma glucose in mice

Project description:Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) constitute the top five NPs in use today. A recent study determined that oral administration of TiO2 NPs increases plasma glucose in mice. In the current study, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) technology was used to investigate genome-wide effects of TiO2 NPs. Clustering analysis of the RNA-seq data showed the most significantly enriched gene ontology terms and KEGG pathways related to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and ER stress. Molecular biology verification showed that TiO2 NPs activated a xenobiotic biodegradation response and increased expression of cytochrome P450 family genes in mouse livers, thus inducing ER stress in mice. ER stress activated MAPK and NF-B pathways and induced an inflammation response, resulting in phosphorylation of the insulin receptor substrate 1 and, consequently, insulin resistance. This was the main mechanism by which TiO2 NPs increased plasma glucose in mice. Meanwhile, ER stress disturbed the monooxygenase system, and thus generated reactive oxygen species (ROS). Relief of ER stress with 4-phenylbutyric acid inhibited all the above effects of TiO2 NPs, including the generation of ROS. Therefore, TiO2 NP-induced ER stress was a decisive factor with a central role in plasma glucose disturbance in mice.

Continuous ZnO nanoparticle exposure induces melanoma-like skin lesions in epidermal barrier dysfunction model mice through anti-apoptotic effects mediated by the oxidative stress–activated NF-κB pathway

Project description:Increasing interest in the hazardous properties of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), commonly used as ultraviolet filters in sunscreen, has driven efforts to study the percutaneous application of ZnO NPs to diseased skin; however, in-depth studies for epidermal barrier dysfunction remain lacking. Our epidermal barrier dysfunction model develops large gaps between keratinocytes due to keratinocyte-specific Cdc42 knockout, allowing ZnO NPs entry to the stratum basale of the epidermis, impacting melanocytes. ZnO NP application for 14 and 49 consecutive days induced melanoma-like skin lesions, dysregulated melanoma-associated gene expression, increased oxidative injury, inhibited apoptosis, and increased nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) p65 and Bcl-2 expression in melanocytes. Exposure to 5.0 µg·mL−1 ZnO NPs for 72 h increased cell viability, decreased apoptosis, and increased Fkbp51 expression in melanocytes, consistent with histological observations. The oxidative stress–mediated mechanism underlying the induction of anti-apoptotic effects was verified using the reactive oxygen species scavenger N-acetylcysteine. The entry of ZnO NPs into the stratum basale of skin with epidermal barrier dysfunction resulted in melanoma-like skin lesions and an anti-apoptotic effect induced by oxidative stress, activating the NF-κB pathway in melanocytes. These findings suggest that ZnO NPs are potentially carcinogenic for skin with a damaged barrier function.

Differential Gene Expression in Daphnia magna Suggests Distinct Modes of Action and Bioavailability for ZnO nanoparticles and Zn ions

Project description:Zinc Oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are being rapidly developed for use in consumer products, wastewater treatment and chemotherapy providing several possible routes for ZnO NP exposure to humans and aquatic organisms. Recent studies have shown that ZnO NPs undergo rapid dissolution to Zn+2, but the relative contribution of Zn+2 to ZnO NP bioavailability and toxicity is not clear. Gene expression profiling of D. magna exposed to ZnO NPs or ZnSO4 at equitoxic concentrations demonstrated that the particles cause toxicity through a distinct mechanism compared with Zn+2. D. magna were also exposed to a SiO NPs as a particle control at equimolar concentrations. The SiO NPs resulted in few differentially expressed genes and there was very little overlap between the genes affected by the ZnO NPs and the SiO NPs, suggesting that ZnO NPs cause a distinct pattern of differentially expressed genes. In the ZnO NP exposures, effects were observed to genes involved in cytoskeletal transport, cellular respiration and reproduction. Three biomarker genes including a multi-cystatin, ferritin and a C1q containing gene were confirmed as differentially expressed in a specific pattern by ZnO NP and provide a suite of biomarkers for identifying environmental exposure to ZnO NP and differentiating between NP and ionic exposure.

Toxicity and transcriptomic analysis in Hyalella azteca suggests increased exposure and susceptibility of epibenthic organisms to Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles

Project description:Abstract: Nanoparticles (NPs) are expected to make their way into the aquatic environment where sedimentation of particles will likely occur, putting benthic organisms at particular risk. Therefore, organisms such as Hyalella azteca, an epibenthic crustacean which forages at the sediment surface, is likely to have a high potential exposure. Here we show that Zinc Oxide (ZnO) NPs are more toxic to H. azteca compared with the corresponding metal ion, Zn2+. Dissolution of ZnO NPs contributes about 50% of the Zn measured in the ZnO NP suspensions, and cannot account for the toxicity of these particles to H. azteca. However, gene expression analysis is unable to distinguish between the ZnO NP exposures and Zinc Sulfate (ZnSO4) exposures at equitoxic concentrations. These results lead us to hypothesize that ZnO NPs provide and an enhanced exposure route for Zn2+ uptake into H. azteca, and possibly other sediment dwelling organisms. Our study supports the prediction that sediment dwelling organisms are highly susceptible to the effects of ZnO NPs and should be considered in the risk assessment of these nanomaterials.

Modulation of intestinal proteome of juvenile common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) after dietary exposure to ZnO nanoparticles

Project description:ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) are widely used in industrial and consumer products. Thus, understanding their interaction with biological systems is the key for their safe application. The aim of present study was to evaluate the toxicological effects on the intestine of common carp, Cyprinus carpio, after dietary exposure to ZnO NPs. To assess the toxicity of ZnO NPs and of their toxic mechanism to gastrointestinal tract, we applied label free protein quantification on carp intestine considering the fact that fish are on the top of food chain in aquatic ecosystems. Even though carp and zebrafish do not have five intestinal segments like mammals (Brugman, 2016), previous studies have revealed that intestinal anatomy and architecture in cyprinid teleost fish is closely related to mammals with functional homology (Curry, 1939). Therefore, the findings can also provide beneficial information to understand the mechanisms underlying NPs toxicity in mammals.

PEGylation of ORMOSIL nanoparticles differently modulates the in vitro toxicity toward human lung cells

Project description:ORganically MOdified SILica (ORMOSIL) nanoparticles (NPs) appear promising carriers for the delivery of drugs to target tissues and cells but some concerns on possible cytotoxic effects still exist. We therefore studied the in vitro responses to ORMOSIL NPs in different types of human lung cells (i.e. CCD-34Lu normal fibroblasts, carcinoma alveolar type II A549 cells, NCI-H2347 adenocarcinoma cells) to determine the effects of polyethylene glycol (PEG) coating on NP cytotoxicity. Our results show that non-PEG NPs caused a concentration-dependent decrease of viability of all types of cells. On the contrary, PEG-coated NPs increased plasma membrane permeability and induced cell death only in carcinoma alveolar type II A549 cells, while did not produce deleterious effects on CCD-34Lu and NCI-H2347 cells. PEG-coated NPs promoted the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in A549 and CCD-34Lu cells; nevertheless, the decrease of ROS levels in the presence of superoxide dismutase and catalase did not protect A549 cells from death, suggesting that the oxidative stress was not the main determinant of cytotoxicity. Analysis of gene expression in A549 cells exposed to PEG-coated NPs showed alterations in genes involved in inflammation, signal transduction and cell death, while the transcriptional response was not significantly affected in CCD-34Lu fibroblasts. Our transmission electron microscopy analysis evidenced a unique intracellular localization of PEG NPs in the lamellar bodies of A549 cells, which could be the most relevant factor leading to cytotoxicity by reducing the production of surfactant proteins and by interfering with the pulmonary surfactant system.
