“…This suggests that, at a high PS-NP concentration, the internal reaction mechanism of Hsp70 was activated and further induced other immune factors to participate in immune defense, results of which are consistent with those reported in other aquatic animals exposed to PS-NPs. [61][62][63] Hsp70 can also have a role in the release of proinflammatory cytokines, cell proliferation, cell migration, 64,65 and other functions by interacting with receptors on the surface of immune cells and regulating key inflammatory regulatory factors, such as TNF-α and IL-1β. 66,67 TNF-α and IL-1β are important proinflammatory factors in the inflammatory response in fish and cause vasodilation and increased vascular permeability.…”
