description Titanium diboride (TiB<sub>2</sub>) and zinc borate (Zn<sub>3</sub>BO<sub>6</sub>) have been utilized in wide spectrum industrial areas because of their favorable properties such as a high melting point, good wear resistance, high hardness and thermal conductivity. On the other hand, the biomedical potentials of TiB<sub>2</sub> and Zn<sub>3</sub>BO<sub>6</sub> are still unknown because there is no comprehensive analysis that uncovers their biocompatibility features. Thus, the toxicogenomic properties of TiB<sub>2</sub> and Zn<sub>3</sub>BO<sub>6</sub> nanoparticles (NPs) were investigated on human primary alveolar epithelial cell cultures (HPAEpiC) by using different cell viability assays and microarray analyses. Protein-Protein Interaction Networks Functional Enrichment Analysis (STRING) was used to associate differentially expressed gene probes. According to the results, up to 10 mg/L concentration of TiB<sub>2</sub> and Zn<sub>3</sub>BO<sub>6</sub> NPs application did not stimulate a cytotoxic effect on the HPAEpiC cell cultures. Microarray analysis revealed that TiB<sub>2</sub> NPs exposure enhances cellular adhesion molecules, proteases and carrier protein expression. Furthermore, Zn<sub>3</sub>BO<sub>6</sub> NPs caused differential gene expressions in the cell cycle, cell division and extracellular matrix regulators. Finally, STRING analyses put forth that inflammation, cell regeneration and tissue repair-related gene interactions were affected by TiB<sub>2</sub> NPs application. Zn<sub>3</sub>BO<sub>6</sub> NPs exposure significantly altered inflammation, lipid metabolism and infection response activator-related gene interactions. These investigations illustrated that TiB<sub>2</sub> and Zn<sub>3</sub>BO<sub>6</sub> NPs exposure may affect different aspects of cellular machineries such as immunogenic responses, tissue regeneration and cell survival. Thus, these types of cellular mechanisms should be taken into account before the use of the related NPs in further biomedical applications.
