lüll Nanoparticles and neurotoxicity Win-Shwe TT; Fujimaki HInt J Mol Sci 2011[]; 12 (9): 6267-80Humans are exposed to nanoparticles (NPs; diameter < 100 nm) from ambient air and certain workplaces. There are two main types of NPs; combustion-derived NPs (e.g., particulate matters, diesel exhaust particles, welding fumes) and manufactured or engineered NPs (e.g., titanium dioxide, carbon black, carbon nanotubes, silver, zinc oxide, copper oxide). Recently, there have been increasing reports indicating that inhaled NPs can reach the brain and may be associated with neurodegeneration. It is necessary to evaluate the potential toxic effects of NPs on brain because most of the neurobehavioral disorders may be of environmental origin. This review highlights studies on both combustion-derived NP- and manufactured or engineered NP-induced neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and gene expression, as well as the possible mechanism of these effects in animal models and in humans.|Animals[MESH]|Brain/metabolism/pathology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Inhalation Exposure/adverse effects[MESH]|Nanoparticles/*adverse effects/metabolism[MESH]|Neurodegenerative Diseases/*etiology[MESH]|Neurotoxicity Syndromes/*etiology[MESH]|Risk Assessment[MESH]|Risk Factors[MESH] |
