Project description:The exposure to nano-plastics affects mammalian neurotoxic hazard characterization remains to be determined. Our aim was to investigate the neurotoxicity of nano-plastics in rodents. Animals were randomly divided into two groups: a control group and 50 mg/kg body weight PS NPs treatment groups. Before treatment, animals were fasted overnight. PS NPs were suspended into waters, vigorously stirred. The PS NPs via oral gavage once per day and for 6 months. The mice were treated with water in control group. We found that exposure to PS NPs caused cognitive decline. PS NPs exposure influenced the prefrontal cortex cells with more pathological alteration with increasing dosage. High-throughput RNA sequencing was conducted to explore miRNA expression in prefrontal cortex. Twenty-nine differentially expressed miRNAs were detected, including 12 upregulated and 17 downregulated miRNAs. This finding provided a reference for further studies on the development mechanisms of ncRNA during cognitive dysfunction.

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 poorly known 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. Because of all the potential problems, it is advocated to replace fossil fuel-based plastics by bio-based and bio-degradable plastics, among which poly-hydroxyalkanoates are the most promising. However, the effects of these on mammalian cells are even less known than those of fossil fuel-based plastics. We therefore designed a study aiming at investigating the effects of polylactic acid (PLA) nanoparticles on macrophages. Indeed, being a plastic, PLA is known to fragment and liberate micro and nanoparticles, exactly as conventional plastics. These particles will be internalized by macrophages and may induce functional consequences on these cells. Proteomics showed important adaptive changes of the proteome in response to exposure to PLA, and several important pathways such as mitochondrion, lysosomes or endoplasmic reticulum were highlighted by the proteomic analysis. However, validation experiments showed that most of these changes were homeostatic and allowed the cells to keep these functions unaltered. When the inflammatory response was examined, no major increase in the secretion of tumor necrosis factor or interleukin 6 was observed. However, the secretion of these cytokines in response to lipopolysaccharide was altered after exposure to PLA. The production of interleukin 6 was decreased, while the production of tumor necrosis factor, showing a complex alteration of cellular responses after exposure to PLA nanoparticles. In conclusion, these results provide a better understanding of the responses of macrophages to exposure to the biodegradable PLA nanoparticles.

High-throughput RNA sequencing was conducted to explore miRNA expression in prefrontal cortex. Sixty-seven differentially expressed circRNAs were detected, including 25 upregulated and 42 downregulated circRNAs. We also explored 987 differentially expressed mRNAs, including 477 upregulated and 510 downregulated mRNAs.
