The long-term in vitro co-exposure of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) nanoplastics and cigarette smoke condensate exacerbates the induction of carcinogenic traits

This study examines the long-term impact of polyethylene terephthalate nanoplastics (PET-NPLs) and cigarette smoke condensate (CSC) on human lung BEAS-2B cells, focusing on key biological hallmarks of carcinogenesis. True-to-life PET-NPLs were generated from plastic water bottles and characterized t...

True-to-life PET-NPLs were generated from plastic water bottles and characterized to simulate environmental exposure conditions; and a comprehensive battery of assays was employed to assess genotoxicity, cellular transformation, and invasiveness. It was observed that, compared to passage control and individual exposures, co-exposure to PET-NPLs and CSC exacerbates oxidative stress, genotoxicity, and tumorigenic transformation, as evidenced by increased DNA damage, colony formation in soft agar, and enhanced cell migration and invasion. Transcriptomic analysis revealed a shift in cellular stress regulation including the upregulation of stress-response genes, including SLC7A11, NQO1, and HSPA1A, which are linked to oxidative stress adaptation and tumor survival. At the same time, key tumor-suppressor genes, such as LOX, and FN1, were significantly downregulated, promoting cellular transformation and invasiveness. These results provide compelling evidence that the combination of PET-NPLs and CSC enhances carcinogenic traits through oxidative stress, genomic instability, and disruption of tumor-suppressive pathways. This study underscores the importance of evaluating the synergistic effects of combined environmental exposures and their implications for human health. 22025-01-0120252025-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/311524https://dx.doi.org/urn:doi:10.1016/j.jhazmat.2025.138359reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengAgència de Gestió d'Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca https://doi.org/10.13039/501100003030 2023/BP-00212European Commission https://doi.org/10.13039/501100000780 965196Agencia Estatal de Investigación https://doi.org/10.13039/501100011033 PID2020-116789RB-C43Agència de Gestió d'Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca https://doi.org/10.13039/501100003030 2021/SGR-00731open accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.
