About the effects of true to life polyethylene terephthalate nanoparticles on macrophages

Project description:Plastics are emerging pollutants of great concern. Macroplastics degrade into microplastics and nanoplastics, which can accumulate in living organisms with still poorly known consequences. Nanoplastics being particulate pollutants, they are handled in animal organisms by scavenger cells such as macrophages, which are important players in the immune system. Polyethylene terephthalate is one of these plastics of concern, as it is widely used in food packaging where it releases nanoparticles. We have thus undertaken a study on the effects of true-to-life polyethylene terephthalate nanoparticles prepared from water bottles on macrophages. To this purpose, we used a combination of proteomics and targeted validation experiments. Proteomics showed important adaptive changes in the proteome in response to exposure to polyethylene terephthalate nanoparticles. These changes affected for example mitochondrial, cytoskeletal and lysosomal proteins, but also proteins implicated in immune functions. Validation experiments showed that many of these changes were homeostatic, with no induced oxidative stress and no gross perturbation of the mitochondrial function. However, polyethylene terephthalate nanoparticles induced endoplasmic reticulum stress and disturbed the immune functions of macrophages. We indeed observed a slight pro-inflammatory response (1.5-fold increase in TNF secretion). We also observed a decrease in the response to bacterial stimulation (1.6 decrease in IL-6 secretion). We also observed a 20 percent decrease in the expression of important proteins involved in immune responses such as TLR2, TLR7 or collectin 12, and a two-fold decrease in the production of lysozyme. This suggests that macrophages having ingested polyethylene terephthalate nanoparticles are less efficient in their immune functions.

Polyethylene Terephthalate Microplastics Generated from Disposable Water Bottles Induce Interferon Signaling Pathways in Mouse Lung Epithelial Cells.

Project description:Microplastics (MPs) are present in ambient air in a respirable size fraction; however, their potential impact on human health via inhalation routes is not well documented. In the present study, methods for a lab-scale generation of MPs from regularly used and littered plastic articles were optimized. The toxicity of 11 different types of MPs, both commercially purchased and in-lab prepared MPs, was investigated in lung epithelial cells using cell viability, immune and inflammatory response, and genotoxicity endpoints. The underlying mechanisms were identified by microarray analysis. Although laborious, the laboratory-scale methods generated a sufficient quantity of well characterized MPs for toxicity testing. Of the 11 MPs tested, the small sized polyethylene terephthalate (PETE) MPs prepared from disposable water bottles induced the maximum toxicity. Specifically, the smaller size PETE MPs induced a robust activation of the interferon signaling pathway, implying that PETE MPs are perceived by cells by similar mechanisms as those employed to recognize pathogens. The PETE MPs of heterogenous size and shapes induced cell injury, triggering cell death, inflammatory cascade, and DNA damage, hallmark in vitro events indicative of potential in vivo tissue injury. The study establishes toxicity of specific types of plastic materials in micron and nano size.

Long-term exposure to secondary polyethylene terephthalate nanoplastics induces carcinogenesis in vitro

Project description:Micro and nanoplastics (MNPLs) are contaminants originated mainly from plastic waste degradation that pose potential health risks. Inhalation is a major exposure route, as evidenced by their detection in human lungs, with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) among the most abundant particles in respiratory airways. However, the harmful effects of particle bioaccumulation remain unclear, as chronic effects are understudied. To assess the long-term effects, specifically the carcinogenic effects, BEAS-2B cell line was exposed to PET-NPLs for 30 weeks. Genotoxicity, carcinogenic phenotypic hallmarks, and a panel of genes and pathways associated with cell transformation and lung cancer were examined and compared across three exposure durations. No significant effects were observed after 24 hours or 15 weeks of exposure. However, 30-week exposure led to increased genotoxic damage, anchorage-independent growth, and invasive potential. Transcriptomic analysis showed upregulation of several oncogenes and lung cancer-associated genes at the end of the exposure. Further analysis revealed an increase in differentially expressed genes over time and a temporal gradient of lung cancer-related genes. Altogether, the data suggest PET-NPLs' potential carcinogenicity after extended exposure, highlighting serious long-term health risks of MNPLs. Assessing their carcinogenic risk under chronic, real-life conditions is crucial to address knowledge gaps and eventually develop preventive policies.

Polyethylene terephthalate and its monomers degradation by Ideonella sakaiensis

Project description:Synthetic plastics, like polyethylene terephthalate (PET), have become an essential part of modern life. Many of these products are remarkably persistent in the environment, and the accumulation in the environment is recognised as a major threat. Therefore, an increasing interest has been paid to screen for organisms able to degrade and assimilate the plastic. Ideonella sakaiensis was isolated from a plastisphere, a bacterium that solely was thriving on the degradation on PET films. The processes affected by the presence of PET, terephthalic acid, ethylene glycol, ethyl glycolate, and sodium glyoxylate monohydrate was elucidated by differential proteomes. The exposure of PET and its monomers seem to affect two major pathways, the TCA cycle and the β-oxidation pathway, since multiple of the conditions resulted in an increased expression of proteins directly or indirectly involved in these pathways, underlying the importance in the degradation of PET by I. sakaiensis.

Impact of particulate microplastics generated from polyethylene terephthalate on gut pathology and immune microenvironments.

Project description:Environmental microplastics have emerged as a critical issue in maintaining the planetary ecosystem. In this study, we generated particulate microplastics from polyethylene terephthalate (PM-PET) and investigated their impact in the gut by using mouse models and implementing histological examinations, as well as multi-omics analysis for colonic immune cells and microbiota. As a result, histological approaches showed that chronic and physiological low dose exposure of PM-PET did not affect intestinal pathology and mucin barriers, respectively. Moreover, immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that the numbers of T cells, B cells, macrophages, and granulocytes were not affected by the exposure to PM-PET. However, RNA-seq analysis revealed that PM-PET had a substantial impact on the transcriptome in gut immune cells and their metabolisms, while 16s rRNA metagenomic analysis showed that the composition of microbiota was modestly affected. These results suggest an unexpected role played by the PM-PET in affecting gut immune homeostasis without detectable inflammation.
