- W4379390400 abstract "Particles of various types of plastics, including polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-NPs), have been determined in human blood, placenta, and lungs. These findings suggest a potential detrimental effect of PS-NPs on bloodstream cells. The purpose of this study was to assess the mechanism underlying PS-NPs-induced apoptosis in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Non-functionalized PS-NPs of three diameters: 29 nm, 44 nm, and 72 nm were studied used in this research. PBMCs were isolated from human leukocyte–platelet buffy coat and treated with PS-NPs at concentrations ranging from 0.001 to 200 μg/mL for 24 h. Apoptotic mechanism of action was evaluated by determining the level of cytosolic calcium ions, as well as mitochondrial transmembrane potential, and ATP levels. Furthermore, detection of caspase-8, -9, and -3 activation, as well as mTOR level was conducted. The presence of apoptotic PBMCs was confirmed by the method of double staining of the cells with propidium iodide and FITC-conjugated Annexin V. We found that all tested NPs increased calcium ion and depleted mitochondrial transmembrane potential levels. The tested NPs also activated caspase-9 and caspase-3, and the smallest NPs of 29 nm of diameter also activated caspase-8. The results clearly showed that apoptotic changes and an increase of mTOR level depended on the size of the tested NPs, while the smallest particles caused the greatest alterations. PS-NPs of 26 nm of diameter activated the extrinsic pathway (increased caspase-8 activity), as well as intrinsic (mitochondrial) pathway (increased caspase-9 activity, raised calcium ion level, and decreased transmembrane mitochondrial potential) of apoptosis. All PS-NPs increased mTOR level at the concentrations smaller than those that induced apoptosis and its level returned to control value when the process of apoptosis escalated." @default.
