The results indicated that ZnO nanoparticles markedly inhibit HTFs viability and decrease the Δψm in a concentration-dependent pattern. Exposure of HTFs to ZnO nanoparticles could also induce the elevated Caspase-3, Caspase-9, and Apaf-1 expression, decrease the levels of FSP-1, collagen III, and E-cadherin expression, leading to HTFs apoptosis. Our results suggested that elevated ROS and activated Caspase signaling play a fundamental role in ZnO nanoparticle-induced HTFs apoptosis. 5-lipoxygenase is a key enzyme in the synthesis of
