However, insufficient data for the adverse health effects and safety evaluation of SiNPs are remaining a big question.Purpose: We evaluated the effects and related mechanism of SiNPs on pulmonary inflammation and collagen production through repeated intravenous administration in mice in a 45-day observation period.Methods: Morphological and ultrastructural change, ultradistribution of SiNPs in lungs were observed in ICR mice through intravenous administration. Oxidative damage, pro-inflammatory cytokines, hydroxyproline content, the marker of fibroblasts and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and JAK2/STAT3 and TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathways were detected to explore the lung injuries and related mechanism.Results: The results showed repeated intravenous exposure of SiNPs increased the weight of lung tissues and destroyed pulmonary histomorphological structure. The increased MDA content, depletion of SOD and GSH-Px in lungs were observed in SiNP-treated mice. The protein expressions of JAK2/STAT3 pathway were upregulated in lungs, and the levels of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in serum and lungs were also elevated in SiNPs treated group. The increased hydroxyproline content indicated collagen accumulation in lungs of SiNP-treated mice. Meanwhile, the protein expressions of the marker of myofibroblast (a-SMA), the regulators in connective tissue remodeling (CTGF), TGF-β, and p-Smad3 were all upregulated in lungs. In addition, we found intravenous administration of SiNPs-induced ultrastructural changes in type II alveolar epithelial cells but without downregulation of the protein expression of the key markers of epithelial cells (E-Cadherin).Conclusion: Our results revealed that oxidative stress and inflammation contributed to the collagen accumulation through activation of JAK2/STAT3 and TGF-β/Smad3 pathways. It suggests that pulmonary aberrant inflammation and collagen accumulation induced by nanoparticles should be seriously considered for the safety application in diagnostics or therapeutics.Keywords: Silica nanoparticles, repeated intravenous administration, inflammation, collagen accumulation, JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, TGF-β/Smad3 signaling pathwayYu YZhu TLi YJing LYang MLi YDuan JSun ZDove Medical PressarticleSilica nanoparticlesrepeated intravenous administrationinflammationcollagen accumulationJAK2/STAT3 signaling pathwayTGF-β/Smad3 signaling pathway.Medicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 14, Pp 7237-7247 (2019) |
