Manufactured zinc oxide nanoparticles (Nano-ZnO) are being used increasingly in many fields owing to their excellent physicochemical properties. Consequently, biosecurity has become a growing concern for human health and the environment. In the present study. Nano-ZnO neurotoxidty was investigated in vivo and in vitro. in vivo results showed that Nano-ZnO particles delivered through intranasal instillation were translocated to the brain, specifically deposited in the olfactory bulb, hippocampus, striatum, and cerebral cortex, and caused ultrastructural changes, oxidative damage, inflammatory responses, and histopathological damages there, which may be important for inducing Nano-ZnO neurotoxidty. Further in vitro studies on PC12 cell line illustrated that exposure to Nano-ZnO for 6 h affected cell morphology, decreased cell viability, increased lactate dehydrogenase and oxidative stress activity levels, impaired mitochondrial function, and disturbed the cell cycle. In addition, Nano-ZnO could destroy neuronal structure by affecting cytoskeleton proteins (tubulin-alpha, tubulin-beta and NF-H), resulting in the interruption of connection between nerve cells, which lead to nervous system function damage. Meanwhile, Nano-ZnO could induce neuronal repair and regeneration disorders by affecting the growth-related protein GAP43 and delayed neurotoxidty by affecting the calcitun/caldum-regulated kinase (CAMK2A/CAMK2B protein) signaling pathway.
