摘要： When entering a biological environment, proteins could be adsorbed onto nanoparticles (NPs), which can potentially influence the toxicity of NPs. This study used bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the model for serum protein and investigated its interactions with three different types of ZnO NPs, coded as XFI06 (pristine NPs of 20 nm), NM110 (pristine NPs of 100 nm) and NM111 (hydrophobic NPs of 130 nm). Atomic force microscope indicated the adsorption of BSA to ZnO NPs, leading to the increase of NP diameters. Pre-incubation with BSA did not significantly affect hydrodynamic size but decreased Zeta potential of NM110 and NM111. The fluorescence and synchronous fluorescence of BSA were quenched after pre-incubation with ZnO NPs, and the quenching effects were more obvious for XFI06 and NM110. Exposure to all types of ZnO NPs significantly induced cytotoxicity and lysosomal destabilization, which was slightly alleviated when NPs were pre-incubated with BSA. However, ZnO NPs with or without pre-incubation of BSA resulted in comparable intracellular Zn ions, glutathione and reactive oxygen species in THP-1 macrophages. Exposure to ZnO NPs promoted the expression of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers (DDIT3 and XBP-1s) and apoptosis genes (CASP9 and CASP12). Pre-incubation with BSA had minimal impact on ER stress gene expression but decreased apoptosis gene expression. Combined, these results suggested that pre-incubation with BSA could modestly alleviate the cytotoxicity and reduce ER stress related apoptosis gene expression in THP-1 macrophages after ZnO NP exposure.
