NF-κB nuclear translocation after NPs exposure. Effects of NPs on NF-κB nuclear translocation in HK-2 cells. Cells were exposed for 1 h with different NPs: TiO2 (20 μg/cm2), ZnO (5 μg/cm2) and CdS (5 μg/cm2). After immunostaining of DAPI (a, d, g, j) and p65 subunits of NF-kB (b, e, h, k), cells were observed under fluorescent microscopy (X200 excepted for (d), (e),(f) with X400 magnification) and representative photos are shown. Merge images were showed (c, f, I, l). Data represented mean ± SE of the fluorescence intensity on the nuclei expressed as a percentage of control (untreated) cells.
