Abstract

With the use of new nanocompounds, in particular, derivatives of fullerene C60, the likelihood of human contact with them increases. It has been shown that water-soluble derivatives of fullerene can affect the transcriptional activity of genes in human embryonic fibroblasts of the lungs (PLEC). Activation of the transcription factor NFkB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells) induces processes aimed at cell survival, as well as the development of a pro-inflammatory response. The expression of genes that provide protection against stress at the cellular level is triggered by a transcription factor, NRF2 (nuclear factor [erythroid-derived 2] -like factor 2). The interaction between NFkB and NRF2 is mainly antagonistic. The search for new compounds that selectively activate the transcription factor NFkB and NRF2 remains an urgent task of modern medicine.
