PG - 7781-7792 LID - 10.1021/acs.nanolett.9b02795 [doi] AB - Though plastic nanoparticles have already raised much concern for their potential impact on health, our understanding of their biological effects is still utterly limited. Here we demonstrate for the first time that carboxyl-modified polystyrene nanoparticles (CPS) could effectively inhibit ferroptosis as a result of reduced cellular ROS which was triggered by transcription factor EB (TFEB) nucleus translocation. In this process, CPS first entered cells via macropinocytosis, then CPS-containing macropinosomes fused with lysosomes and expanded into abnormal lysosome-like large vacuoles in vacuolar-type H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) and aquaporins (AQPs) in a dependent way. These large vacuoles were detected both in vitro and in vivo, which was found to be a sign of lysosome stress. The lysosome stress induced deactivation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) which led to nucleus translocation of TFEB. Then, TFEB-dependent enhanced expression of lysosomal proteins and superoxide dismutase (SOD) which ultimately led to ROS reduction and inhibition of ferroptosis. Knockout of TFEB-enhanced ferroptosis was triggered by Erastin and abolished the effect of CPS on ROS and ferroptosis. In summary, our results reveal a novel mechanism whereby CPS reduced ROS and inhibited ferroptosis in a TFEB-dependent way. These findings have important implications for understanding the biological effects of polystyrene nanoparticles and searching for new anti-ROS and antiferroptosis particles or reagents.
