Project description:Ingested microplastics (MPs) can accumulate throughout whole body, which may induce the dysfunction of immune system. However, it remains unclear how MP exposure affects innate immune responses at the cellular level. We found that mouse neutrophils strongly bind and then engulf polystyrene MPs. This interaction leads to proinflammatory state of neutrophils and eventually results in apoptotic cell death through toll-like receptor signaling pathway in a bacteria-recognition mimetic manner. Moreover, our data verified that orally administered polystyrene MPs reach various organs in mice, where they are interacted with and endocytosed by neutrophils. We confirmed that human neutrophils also strongly bind and internalize polystyrene MPs. Additionally, RNA sequencing analysis of polystyrene MPs-exposed human neutrophils showed the upregulation of cell death-related function. Therefore, the accumulated MPs may exacerbate inflammatory immune response by disrupting neutrophil function. These results provide novel insight into the adverse responses of neutrophils induced by MP exposure.

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:In the past years, the research focus on the effects of microplastics (MP) on aquatic organisms extended from marine systems towards freshwater systems. An important freshwater model organism in the MP field is the cladoceran Daphnia, which plays a central role in lacustrine ecosystems and has been established as a test organism in ecotoxicology. To investigate the effects of MP on Daphnia magna, we performed a chronic exposure experiment with polystyrene MP under strictly standardized conditions. Chronic exposure of D. magna to PS microparticles led to a significant reduction in body length and number of offspring. To shed light on underlying molecular mechanisms induced by microplastic ingestion in D. magna, we assessed the effects of PS-MP at the proteomic level.

Project description:Microplastics (MPs) as widespread contamination pose high risk for aquatic organisms.Intestinal microbiotahas have high interaction with immune system of host body. In this study, intestinal microbiota of zebrafish after Polystyrene (PS-MPs) exposure were characterized by 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing. We found that 100nm and 200μm PS-MPs exposure significantly increased diversity of intestinal microbiota and all the three sizes of PS-MPs increased abundance of pathogenic bacteria.

Project description:Microplastics (MPs) are considered as one of the main reasons for male and female infertility. However, the reproductive toxicity and its related mechanisms are understood by animal models with acute exposure to MPs at present. In the study, we show the low-dose polystyrene microplastics (PSMPs) exposure results in severely abnormal reproduction in female, but not male in mouse model, exhibiting failed oocyte meiotic maturation. Mechanistically, the PSMPs exposure induces the over-activation of cell metabolism pathways, insufficient HDACs and H4K16 hyperacetylation in oocytes in vivo and in vitro. By addition of HDAC3 inhibitor, the failed oocyte maturation, over-activation of cell metabolism pathways and H4K16 hyperacetylation are recapitulated, and the overexpression of HDAC3 can rescue the defects of meiotic maturation induced by PSMPs. Our observations suggest a direct link of the maturation defects induced by PSMPs to HDAC3 insufficiency. Thus, we propose the potential treatments for therapy of the failed meiotic maturation of oocyte from women highly exposed to MPs by activating or supplying HDAC3.

Project description:Plastics are persistent synthetic polymers that accumulate in the marine environment as waste. Microplastic (MP) particles are derived from the breakdown of larger debris or can enter the environment as microscopic fragments. Filter-feeder organisms ingest MP while feeding and are likely to be impacted by MP pollution. To assess the impact of polystyrene microspheres (PS) on the physiology of the Pacific oyster, adult oysters were experimentally exposed to virgin micro-PS (2 and 6 µm in diameter; 32 µg L-1) for two months during a reproductive cycle. Effects were investigated on transcriptomic responses, in digestive gland gonads and oocytes of exposed oysters. Transcriptomic profiles in the tissues of the exposed oyster showed endocrine disrupting signals, notably highlighting alteration in glucocorticoid response, insulin pathway and fatty-acid metabolism in response to micro-PS exposition. In oocytes from exposed females, several transcripts coding for proteins involved in Ca2+ binding were differentially expressed suggesting a disruption of the Ca2+ signaling pathway with crucial consequences on oocyte maturation. To assess the impact of polystyrene microspheres (PS) on the physiology of the Pacific oyster, adult oysters were experimentally exposed to virgin micro-PS (2 and 6 µm in diameter; 32 µg L-1) for two months during a reproductive cycle and compared to control oysters. Adults were sampled 2 and 8 weeks after the beginning of exposure (corresponding to T1 and T3, respectively, 8-9 replicates per time of sampling and condition for a total of 56). Tissues were immediately dissected from each oyster, frozen in liquid nitrogen, then crushed to a fine powder at -196°C with an oscillating mill mixer and stored in liquid nitrogen until RNA extraction. Oocytes were collected from 5 females per condition, filtered in a 40 µm sieve, counted and transferred into 1.5 mL of Extract-all reagent (Eurobio, Courtaboeuf, France) (20,000 oocytes). Total RNA was isolated using 1.5 mL of Extract-all Reagent per 50 mg of gonad powder. For microarray hybridizations, 200 ng of total RNA were indirectly labeled with Cy3 using the Low Input Quick Amp Labeling kit One-Color. Hybridization was performed using the Agilent Gene expression hybridization kit (5188-5242), with 1.65 μg of labeled RNA, for 16 h at 65 °C. The employed arrays were Agilent 60-mer 4x44K custom microarrays, containing 31,918 C. gigas ESTs, designed by Dheilly et al. (2011). Slides were scanned on an Agilent Technologies G2565AA Microarray Scanner system at 5 μm resolution, using default parameters. Features were extracted using the Agilent Feature Extraction software 6.1.

Project description:Microplastics (MPs) as widespread contamination pose high risk for aquatic organisms. However, current understanding of MP toxicities are based on cell population-averaged measurements. Here we used single-cell RNA sequencing to provide the transcriptome heterogeneity of 12000 intestinal cells obtained from zebrafishes exposed to 100nm, 5μm and 200μm polystyrene MPs (PS-MPs) for 21 days. Eight intestinal cell populations were identified. We found that all the three sizes of PS-MPs induced dysfunction of intestinal immune cells (including phagosome and regulation of immune system process).
