Abstract: The effects of engineered nanomaterials on human health are still intensively studied in order to facilitate their safe application. However, relatively little is known how mechanical strain as induced in alveolar epithelial cells by breathing movements modifies biological responses to nanoparticles (NPs). In this study, A549 cells as a model for alveolar epithelial cells were exposed to 25 nm amorphous colloidal silica NPs under dynamic and static culture conditions. Gene array data, qPCR, and ELISA revealed an amplified effect of NPs when cells were mechanically stretched in order to model the physiological mechanical deformation during breathing. In contrast, treatment of cells with either strain or NPs alone only led to minor changes in gene expression or interleukin-8 (IL-8) secretion. Confocal microscopy revealed that stretching does not lead to an increased internalization of NPs, indicating that elevated intracellular NP accumulation is not responsible for the observed effect. Gene expression alterations induced by combined exposure to NPs and mechanical strain showed a high similarity to those known to be induced by TNF-α. This study suggests that the inclusion of mechanical strain into in vitro models of the human lung may have a strong influence on the test results.
