Project description:Plastics are highly stable materials with widespread applications, but their resistance to degradation poses a significant environmental challenge, often resulting in accumulation in landfills or pollution in the form of microplastics. Biodegradation using insect larvae has recently emerged as a promising strategy to address this issue, though the molecular basis of plastic degradation in these organisms remains poorly understood due to limited genomic resources. In this study, we present a complete genome of the lesser wax moth, Achroia grisella, and tissue-specific RNA-Seq data of both the lesser and the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, two species known to consume various plastics. Our analyses reveal several highly expressed secretory enzymes in gut and labial tissues. Orthologous comparisons of differentially expressed genes also identified five enzymes (three hexamerins and two monooxygenases) from the lesser wax moth that have been shown or are predicted to have plastic-degrading potential in the greater wax moth. We also identified enzymes that may potentially be involved in polyethylene and polystyrene degradation based on their identities with known bacterial enzymes that have been experimentally validated and are involved in plastic degradation pathways. Together, these genomic and transcriptomic resources provide a foundation for understanding plastic degradation in wax moths and highlight candidate genes for future functional validation.

Project description:Microplastics represent a growing environmental concern for the oceans due to their potential capability to adsorb different classes of pollutants, thus representing a still unexplored source of exposure for aquatic organisms. In this study polystyrene (PS) microplastics were characterized for their capability to adsorb pyrene (PYR) as model compound for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and transfer this chemical to filter feeding mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis. Gene expression analyses of Mytilus galloprovincialis exposed to polystyrene (PS) microplastics and to polystyrene contaminated with pyrene (PS-PYR) have been performed trough a DNA microarray platform.

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.

Project description:We use the zebrafish embryo model to study the innate immune response against polystyrene particles. Therefore, we injected 700nm polystyrene into the yolk at 2 dpf and took samples at 1 and 3 days post injection.

Project description:The toxic effects of polystyrene nanoparticles on aquatic ecosystems have been predominantly studied, with a focus on oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. However, this study comprehensively examined the effects of polystyrene nanoparticles on the development of zebrafish embryos using single-cell RNA sequencing analysis, explicitly investigating their effects on erythropoiesis. In vivo experiments were conducted using zebrafish embryos to validate the single-cell RNA sequencing analysis. Exposure to polystyrene nanoparticles resulted in a decrease in the proportion of mature erythrocytes due to an increase in immature erythrocytes during the erythrocyte differentiation process. Additionally, heme synthesis was impaired, leading to a decrease in the proportion of erythrocytes. These findings indicated the toxic effects of polystyrene nanoparticles on hematopoiesis.
