Polystyrene nanoplastics subchronic exposure impairs placental development through STAM2-mediated imbalance of trophoblastic calcium homeostasis

ABSTRACT: Nanoplastics, as an emerging persistent pollutant of global concern in recent years, have posed a potential threat to human health. However, there is little known about the adverse effects of nanoplastics on the female reproductive system. Here, polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) with a diameter of 50 nm were selected as representative nanosized plastic particles to investigate the potential effects of subchronic exposure on placenta development in mice.

Heterogeneity effects of nanoplastics and lead on zebrafish intestine identified by single-cell sequencing

Project description:Plastic particles in water environment can adsorb heavy metals, leading to combined toxicity to aquatic organisms. However, current conclusions are mostly obtained based on cell population-average responses. Heterogeneity effects among cell populations in aquatic organisms remain unclear. This study analyzed the heterogeneity effects of 200 μg/L 100 nm polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs), 50 μg/L lead (Pb), and their combined exposures on zebrafish intestine cells by single-cell RNA sequencing.A total of 38640 cells in the zebrafish intestine was obtained and identified as seven cell populations, including enterocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, B cells, T cells, enteroendocrine cells, and goblet cells.Co-exposure of PS-NPs and Pb caused similar transcriptome profiles with PS-NPs exposure in macrophages, which changed immunological recognition processes. The Pb exposure influenced the macrophages by direct cytotoxicity. However, the Pb alone and combined exposures induced similar modes of action in the enterocytes, including the generation of oxidative stress and abnormal lipid metabolism.

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.

Short-term polystyrene nanoplastic exposure alters zebrafish male and female germline and reproductive outcomes, unveiling pollutant-impacted molecular pathways

Project description:Nanoplastics pollution is a rising environmental concern whose impacts on biodiversity and human health are far from being understood. This is particularly salient in aquatic ecosystems, where the majority of species depend on external fertilization for reproduction. Here we evaluated the effects of a short-term exposure to engineered polystyrene nanoplastics (NPs) in the zebrafish germ line to further explore their impact on reproduction. To this end, zebrafish (Danio rerio) were exposed to 5 mg/L of 45 nm polystyrene (PS)-NPs via water for 96h. We show that, in males, nanoplastics induced testicular histological alterations with abnormal sperm clustering and chromatin compaction, resulting in viable spermatozoa but with reduced motility. Moreover, in females we observed an alteration in oocyte stages frequencies during oogenesis, possibly reflecting alterations in oocyte growth. RNA-sequencing analysis in male testis links nanoplastic induced alterations in the expression of genes involved in chromatin structure, meiosis and DNA double-strand break formation and repair progression, and gametes recognition. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that the observed effects in males were directly due to nanoplastics penetrating the testicular barrier and being internalized within germline cells. Overall, our results demonstrate that acute exposure to NPs can compromise reproductive fitness, underscoring the environmental and health impacts of NPs pollution.

Transcriptomic profiling reveals differential cellular response of copper oxide nanoparticles and polystyrene nanoplastics in perfused human placenta

Project description:Concerns about the potential risks to human health due nanoparticulate pollution have been emerging. However, the risks to sensitive populations, such as pregnant individuals and their unborn children are poorly characterised. With increasing evidence of environmental particles passing the placenta, their potential adverse effects of on pregnancy and fetal development need to be assessed. Here, we investigated the impact of copper oxide (CuO) and polystyrene (PS) nanoparticle exposure on gene expression in ex vivo perfused human placental tissue.

Does size matter ? A proteomics-informed comparison of the effects of polystyrene beads of different sizes on macrophages

Project description:Plastics are one of the most preoccupying emerging pollutants. Macroplastics released in the environment degrade into microplastics and nanoplastics. Because of their small size, these micro and nano plastic particles can enter the food chain and, in addition to their ecotoxicological effects, contaminate humans with still unknown biological effects. Plastics being particulate pollutants, they are handled in the human body by scavenger cells such as macrophages, which are important players in the immune system. In order to get a better appraisal of the effects of plastic particles on macrophages, we have studied the effects of unmodified polystyrene particles of 0.1, 1 and 10 micrometers of diameter, by a combination of proteomics and targeted approaches. Proteomics showed important adaptive changes of the proteome in response to exposure to plastics, with more than one third of the detected proteins showing a significance change in their abundance in response to cell exposure to at least one plastic beads size. These changes affected for example mitochondrial, lysosomal or cytoskeletal proteins. Although an increase in the mitochondrial transmembrane potential was detected in response to 10 micrometer beads, no alteration in cell viability was observed. Similarly, no lysosomal dysfunction and no alteration in the phagocytic capability of the cells was observed in response to exposure to plastic. When the inflammatory response was examined, no increase in the secretion of tumor necrosis factor or interleukin 6 was observed. Oppositely, the secretion of these cytokines in response to lipopolysaccharide was observed after exposure to plastic, which suggested a decreased ability of macrophages to respond to bacterial infection. In conclusion, these results provide a better understanding of the responses of macrophages to exposure to polystyrene particles of different sizes.

The effect of polystyrene nanoparticles on the healthy lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans

Project description:Plastic is widely used in daily life, but it also brings serious environmental pollution. Plastic products can degrade into microplastic particles after physical, chemical, and biological processes, and microplastic particles can further degrade into nanoplastic particles. Microplastics and nanoplastic particles exist in water, atmosphere, and food, and enter the human body through the digestive and respiratory tracts, causing harm to animal and human health. In this study, Caenorhabditis elegans was exposed to a culture medium containing polystyrene plastic particles at a concentration of 1000 μ g/L to detect the healthy lifespan of the nematodes, further revealing the impact of polystyrene nanoparticles on human health and providing a theoretical basis for further evaluating the biological toxicity effects and potential health risks of polystyrene nanoparticles.
