This study exposed human colon adenocarcinoma cells (HT29) and microglia (N9) to (25 nm, 50 100 nm Polystyrene) investigate inflammatory responses, which are vital for body's defence. Although cytotoxicity remained generally low, HT29 exhibited a notable upregulation p50 p38 expression, concomitant with elevated TLR4 contrast N9 that showed less pronounced these proteins. Additionally, nanoplastic exposure increased IL-1ß levels, partially attenuated by pre-exposure or inhibitors. Intriguingly, substantial increases iNOS mRNA. effect was entirely prevented inhibitors, while TNF-α mRNA levels relatively stable.
