Description
Summary:[Display omitted] •PMWCNT and fMWCNT triggered cyto- and geno-toxic effects in neuronal-like cells.•IL-1β, IL-6 and TNFα increases underlined the neuroinflammation MWCNT-induced.•ROS overproduction MWCNT-driven caused neurotoxicity and neuroinflammation.•Despite the different shape, the harmful effects of p-e f MWCNT were overlapped.•Effects of MWCNTs-cells interactions was highlighted by Raman spectrometry. Multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) activate pathways involved in cytotoxicity, genotoxicity and inflammation. Inhaled MWCNTs are translocated to extra pulmonary organs and their hydrophobicity allows them to cross the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Further exposure of central nervous system (CNS) occurs via olfactory neurons. Using differentiated SH-SY5Y, we studied the neurotoxicity and neuroinflammation of pristine and functionalised MWCNTs. ROS overproduction was dose- and time-dependent (P
