Using one particulate zinc oxide (ZnO) and two soluble zinc compounds (Zn(NO(3))(2) and Zn(CH(3)COO)(2)), we aimed to clarify if zinc ions (Zn(2+)), like particulate ZnO, caused inflammatory responses in vascular endothelial cells. Treatments of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) with 368.6 mu M of each zinc compound caused marked increases in I kappa B alpha phosphorylation and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression. Treatments with Zn(CH(3)COO)(2) (50-350 mu M) induced a dose-dependent ICAM-1 expression. These results show that Zn(2+) alone is sufficient to induce similar levels of ICAM-1 expression as ZnO particles, suggesting that dissolved Zn(2+) may play the major role in inflammatory effect of ZnO particles on vascular endothelial cells.
