With the expanded production and application of ZnO nanoparticles, concerns about their potential toxicity have also been raised.Materials and Methods: We used RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to analyze the global gene expression of liver and lung tissues after ZnO QDs treatment. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened, with a fold change > 1.5 and padj < 0.05. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analyses were performed, and padj < 0.05 was considered significantly enriched. The RNA-seq results were validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).Results: A total of 47 and 218 genes were significantly differentially expressed in the liver and lung. Eight GO terms were enriched in the liver and lung, and retinol metabolism and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathway were shared in different tissues.Discussion: According to DEGs and pathway enrichment analyses, inflammation might be induced in liver and lung tissues after intravenous injection of ZnO QDs. These findings will be helpful for future research and application of ZnO QDs.Keywords: ZnO QDs, transcriptome, differentially expressed genesYang YLi PLin YLi ZCui TSong ZWu WLv SJi SDove Medical Pressarticlezno qdstranscriptomedifferentially expressed genesMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 15, Pp 2947-2955 (2020) |
