Transcriptional responses to nanoparticulate matter in human colon cancer cells.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: This study evaluated transcriptional effects of particles smaller than 100 nm of carbon black, SiO2, Al2O3, TiO2, ZnO and Fe203. Since there is concern that inflammation may increase the uptake and/or toxicity of ultrafine particles, we evaluated the transcriptional responses without or with a TNFα pretreatment to mimic an inflammatory state. The most pronounced transcriptional response resulted from ZnO treatement, another response was to TNFα pre-treatment. We identified stress responses, responses to Zn ions, but did not observe a consistent proinflammatory response as evaluated by Gene Ontology of the genes that altered expression most as identified by significance analysis.
