Description
Human bronchial lung cells (BEAS-2B) were treated for 6 weeks with low doses (1 µg/mL) of Ag nanoparticles (10 nm citrate coated). At the end of the exposure control and treated samples were submitted for RNA-Seq analysis (Hiseq2500). The overall goal of this experiment was to gain an in-depth understanding of the transcriptomic changes induced by low-dose, long-term exposure of human lung cells to Ag nanoparticles and to generate hypotheses related to their mechanisms of toxicity.
