Dog aortic endothelial cells as a model for studying the effects of nanoplastics

ABSTRACT: A growing concern regards plastic fragments mainly nanoplastics (NP). The present study was set up on aortic endothelial cells (CnAEOC) since dog is a model for translational medicine. Through fluorescence microscopy, we observed an interaction between NP and cells, demonstrating a localization at the cytoplasmic level. Furthermore, the data collected show a disruption of both cell proliferation and metabolic activity. The results also show the induction of oxidative stress. In detail, NP caused an increase in the levels of ROS production and an inhibition of enzymatic defense systems. On the contrary, there was no alteration of the non-enzymatic defense mechanism. The analysis conducted to evaluate a possible induction of autophagy, a survival mechanism implemented by cells, following exposure to NP reported the absence of autophagy involvement in the model analyzed. Finally, investigations were conducted regarding the involvement of NP in gene expression processes. Both RNA-seq and RT-PCR did not highlight differentially expressed genes in treated cells.

Aberrant Cell Fate and Functional Impairment in Developing Human Liver Organoids Exposed to Nanoplastics

Project description:Nanoplastics represent an emerging class of global environmental contaminants; however, their potential to interfere with human developmental processes remains largely unexplored. This study investigated the impact of exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NP) on the de novo formation, differentiation, and function of human liver organoids derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), a sophisticated model of early organogenesis.

RNA sequencing analysis of embryos exposed to nanoplastics: effects on developmental and transcriptomic alteration

Project description:The increasing prevalence of nanoplastics (NPs) in the environment has raised concerns regarding their potential risks to ecosystems and human health. NP exposure has been shown to interfere with cellular processes; however, their effects on preimplantation embryonic development remain unclear. Given the critical role of zygotic genome activation and early cell cycle progression, disruption during this period can significantly affect embryonic viability. To investigate the molecular effects of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)-NPs on early embryonic development, mouse zygotes were exposed to 0.1 or 1 mg/mL PMMA-NPs, and RNA sequencing was performed on four-cell stage embryos. Differential gene expression analysis revealed that 0.1 mg/mL NP exposure affected genes related to DNA damage repair, transcriptional regulation, and cellular homeostasis while 1 mg/mL NP exposure altered the expression of genes associated with apoptotic signaling, cell cycle arrest, and failure of blastocyst formation, suggesting a concentration-dependent effect on developmental progression. Thus, PMMA-NP exposure disrupts early embryonic development by inducing specific transcriptomic changes that potentially affect genome integrity and developmental competency. This study provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying NP-induced embryo toxicity and elucidate the effect of NPs on preimplantation embryo development.

Nanoplastics Enhance Transmembrane Transport of Carcinogens and Induce Cellular Stress Responses as Revealed by mRNA Sequencing Analysis

Project description:Nanoplastics were generated from common consumer plastics (PET, HDPE, PS, PVC) and exposed to simulated marine weathering for up to 10 weeks. Fourier-Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and ζ-potentials measurements revealed continuous changes in the composition of the nanoplastics consistent with oxidation. Although the chemical composition and oxidation of the nanoplastics influenced their ability to sorb Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), for all investigated conditions, sorption of PAH to nanoplastics achieved effective PAH concentrations that were orders of magnitude higher than the solubility limit in water. In an intestinal membrane model, PAH-loaded nanoplastics enhanced the overall PAH transport into and across the membrane, with HDPE achieving the highest intracellular PAH concentration. RNA sequencing of cell membranes exposed to nanoplastics revealed significant transcriptional changes, including upregulation of oxidative stress and detoxification pathways (NQO1, CYP1A1, CYP1B), especially in response to PAH-loaded nanoplastics, while genes associated with basic cell functions, such as cellular migration (NCKAP5, MACROD2) and division (KIF20A) were downregulated. These findings suggest that nanoplastics can increase bioaccessibility and bioavailability of hydrophobic carcinogens and enhance cellular stress, raising concerns about the potential environmental and health impacts associated with nanoplastics as carriers of hydrophobic environmental toxins.

RNA-seq of leaves of two durum wheat lines in response to polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs) exposure

Project description:The increasing presence of nanoplastics in agricultural soils, particularly polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs), poses a novel and underestimated threat to crop productivity and food security. The impact of plastics has recently been investigated in cereals confirming that PSNPs can be absorbed by plants through the roots and subsequently translocated to other plant organs. While extensive research has focused on bread wheat, the effects of PSNPs on durum wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum) remain largely unexplored. In this study, we examined the transcriptomic response to PSNPs exposure in two durum wheat lines: Kronos (wild type) and MRP3, a low-phytate mutant generated via TILLING. The MRP3 line carries deleterious mutation in the Multidrug Resistance-Associated Protein 3 (MRP3) genes, which encodes a vacuolar transporter of phytic acid.

Nanoplastics induces Arrhythmia in Human Stem-cells derived Cardiomyocytes [mouse hearts]

Project description:Nanoplastics (NPs), plastic particles ranging from 1–1000 nm, form through weathering and are considered more hazardous than larger plastics due to their ability to penetrate cell barriers and be internalised by biological systems. Most research on NPs has focused on animal models, examining effects on the brain, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract. To enhance physiological relevance, this study investigated the impact of NPs on human cardiomyocytes (CMs) derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). We observed significantly higher cellular uptake of 50 nm NPs compared to 500 nm particles, with dose-dependent accumulation over 3, 5, and 7 days of treatment. This accumulation induced oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, culminating in arrhythmias by day 7. Complementing these in vitro findings, transcriptome profiling of mice exposed to NPs for 8 weeks revealed disrupted RNA splicing, dysregulated protein translation, and defective protein folding. These molecular changes led to ER stress, apoptosis, and impaired transmembrane ion conductance, contributing to the arrhythmic phenotype. Our findings highlight the detrimental effects of NPs on the human heart. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the mechanisms underlying NP-induced toxicity and to develop strategies for mitigating their adverse effects. This study underscores the urgency of addressing NP pollution to protect human health.

Oral ingestion of polystyrene nanoplastics causes memory impairment and neuroinflammation by microglial uptake

Project description:Nanoplastics are produced by breakdown of plastics in environmental contamination or commercial use for cosmetics or daily expenses. Emerging evidence indicate that ingested nanoplastics with a size smaller than 100 nm have the potential to reach the brain and induces neurotoxicity. However, the potential toxicity of nanoplastics on brain are limited because of difficulties in synthesize of nanoplastics. In present study, we synthesized the fluorescent polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs) and examined the toxicity of PSNPs in brain in vivo and in vitro analyses by comparison to IR-813 fluorophore. Synthesized PSNPs were characterized by fluorescence imaging system, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. PSNPs were detected in adult mice brain by oral ingestion. In addition, a series of behavioral analyses showed that oral ingestion of PSNPs induced memory impairments. Among brain cells, PSNPs were predominantly internalized in microglia, and uptake of PSNPs induced microglial activation. In addition, the conditioned medium derived from microglia exposed to PSNPs repressed hippocampal neuronal activity. Furthermore, transcriptome analysis showed that PSNPs changed gene expressions in microglia, elevation of neuroinflammation in contrast to suppression of neurotrophic factors. These results indicated that predominant uptake of PSNPs in microglia induced elevation of neuroninflammatory responses whereas suppression of neurotrophic factors that may contribute to the cognitive impairment. Our findings indicate the toxic mechanism and potential detrimental effect of nanoplastic in brain and suggest a potential risk of cognitive impairment by exposure to nanoplastics.
