Abstract

This study investigated pulmonary effects of exposure to Fe3O4-PEG-PLGA nanoparticles (NPs) and role of Nrf2. Exposure to Fe3O4-PEG-PLGA NPs increased total cells and macrophages in wild-type (WT) mice, lymphocytes, neutrophils and eosinophils in Nrf2 KO mice, and basophils in both genotypes. Exposure to Fe3O4-PEG-PLGA NPs increased pulmonary expression of TNF-alpha, KC and MIP-2 only in Nrf2 KO mice, and SOD-1, GcLc, GcLm, MMP-2, and TGF-beta only in WT mice. The results suggest that Nrf2 plays a role in regulation on leucocyte migration and inflammatory response induced by Fe3O4-PEG-PLGA NPs.
