Abstract
The results demonstrate both distinct and interactive effects of n-TiO2 and TCDD in mussel digestive gland at the molecular and tissue level, identify the main molecular targets involved, and underline how exposure to the n-TiO2/TCDD mixture does not result in increased TCDD accumulation and overall stressful conditions in the tissue. These represent the first data on transcriptional responses of marine invertebrates to exposure not only to n-TiO2 as a model of NP, but also to a legacy contaminant like TCDD.
