This study investigates the effects of CBP and LDPE particles on human cerebral microvascular endothelium hCMEC/D3 cells, an <em>in vitro</em> BBB model. Using a stable NRF2 reporter cell line, we assessed barrier function via transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER), particle uptake through confocal microscopy, and morphological changes using CellProfiler. Inflammatory and oxidative stress responses were also evaluated. CBP exposure increased TEER values, suggesting an occluding effect on barrier integrity. Additionally, CBP enhanced phagocytic activity and reduced <em>IL-1β</em> levels, indicating modulation of inflammation. In contrast, although internalized by cells, LDPE particles had minimal impact on morphology, phagocytosis, inflammation, or barrier function. These findings offer new insights into the cellular responses to airborne pollutants, highlighting the differential effects of CBP and LDPE particles on the BBB and underscoring the need for further studies on their combined impact.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":317,"journal":{"name":"Food and Chemical Toxicology","volume":"206 ","pages":"Article 115762"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145154543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
