Abstract Polystyrene (PS) is one of the commercially used polymers considered as a pollutant in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. Moreover, PS-NPs are used in nanosensors and nanocarrier for the drug. Thus, it is crucial to determine the potential toxicological effect of PS-NPs to cells. Here we used varying concentrations of unmodified PS-NPs of 60±12 nm in size and analyzed their cyto-toxic effect and stress and toxicity gene expressions in NCI-H292 cells. NCI-H292 cells were ex-posed to minimum of 5 µg/mL and maximum of 50 µg/mL of PS-NPs; 50 µg/mL of PS-NPs showed about 50% cell viability. Moreover, unmodified PS-NPs and induce expressions of stress-related genes, such as those encoding interleukin 6 (IL 6), colony-stimulating factor 2 (CSF 2), C-X-C motif chemokine 10 (CXCL 10) responsible for inflammation and heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX 1) responsible for oxidative stress in NCI-H292 cell lines. Our findings suggest that PS-NPs are considered as a potential toxicological compound to the human cell line.
