Project description:Environmental aging processes, such as oxidation, can significantly alter the physicochemical properties and toxicity profiles of microplastics (MPs). Here, we investigated the toxicological impact of pristine polyethylene (PE) and oxidized polyethylene (OPE) microplastics using a dual-species aquatic model comprising Daphnia magna and zebrafish embryos. Characterization confirmed OPE particles exhibited increased surface roughness, higher surface charge, and broader size distribution compared to PE. Exposure to OPE induced pronounced lipid accumulation and reduced heart rate in both models. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that OPE suppressed key lipid transport and metabolism genes, including mttp, apoea, and apobb. These effects were validated through qPCR and lipid staining techniques. Notably, zebrafish embryos exposed to OPE showed significant developmental impairment even with intact chorions, suggesting enhanced bioavailability of oxidized particles. This study highlights the amplified toxicity of aged microplastics and underscores the importance of evaluating environmentally relevant forms when assessing the ecological risk of MPs.

Project description:Polyethylene microplastics are pervasive environmental pollutants that pose potential risks to aquatic organisms. This study investigates the effects of polyethylene microplastics on zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryo development, with a focus on whether the chorion, a protective barrier surrounding the embryo, is effective in blocking polyethylene penetration. Contrary to previous findings that suggested the chorion could prevent larger microplastics (>0.7 µm) from entering, our study demonstrates that polyethylene particles sized 1-4 µm can still negatively impact embryo development without dechorionation. Embryos were exposed to polyethylene at concentrations of 0.01, 0.1, and 1 mg/L, followed by RNA sequencing to assess gene expression changes. Despite no significant differences in survival, hatching, or body length between control and treated groups, a significant reduction in heart rate was observed at higher concentrations, indicating potential sub-lethal cardiotoxicity. Further, qRT-PCR validation confirmed significant downregulation of key heart development-related genes, particularly fbln1 and fn1b, in polyethylene-exposed embryos. Additionally, polyethylene exposure also impacted Daphnia magna, reducing heart rate and delaying growth. These findings highlight the ability of polyethylene microplastics to penetrate natural barriers such as the chorion and induce physiological and developmental changes. Our results emphasize the need for further research into the long-term effects of microplastic exposure on aquatic ecosystems.

Project description:Plastic pollution is a pressing global issue, with polyethylene (PE) the most widespread and persistent contaminant. Galleria mellonella (G. mellonella) has been identified as one of the most suitable insect species for the efficient consumption and degradation of PE; However, the gut microbiota and endogenous factors of G. mellonella contribute to efficient degradation of PE remain unclear. Here our metagenomic analyses revealed that the gut microbial diversity of larvae fed low-density polyethylene (LDPE) remained stable and showed no significant difference from that of the control group, indicating limited community restructuring during LDPE digestion. Proteomic and metabolomic profiling revealed elevated expression of redox-related proteins, accumulation of LDPE oxidative products, and a substantial amount of short-chain fatty acids that could be utilized by G. mellonella via metabolic pathways such as the TCA cycle. Strikingly, the oxidoreductase (luciferin 4-monooxygenase) consistently emerged as the most significantly differentially expressed protein in comparisons of LDPE-fed larvae against both the initial control and the beeswax groups, and it was predicted to exhibit strong binding affinity for long-chain alkenes. A key gut microbe, Brevibacillus parabrevis strain B3, exhibited the highest activity in LDPE degradation. Importantly, in vitro assays demonstrated that the combination of luciferin 4-monooxygenase and Brevibacillus parabrevis strain B3 synergistically enhanced LDPE degradation efficiency-far surpassing enzyme or bacterial treatments alone. Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed significant oxidative surface modifications, including hydroxyl and carbonyl group formation, under combined treatment. These results suggest that Gm-luciferin 4-monooxygenase likely acts as the principal driver of LDPE degradation in G. mellonella, with other oxidoreductases and gut bacteria providing auxiliary support. Our findings elucidate the enzymatic and microbial synergy underlying wax worm-mediated LDPE biodegradation and offer promising targets for developing bio-inspired plastic waste remediation technologies.

Project description:Recent evidence highlights the multisystem effects of microplastics. We investigated the effect of the most common microplastic, polyethylene, on liver conditions. We included 4 experimental groups of mice; chow diet, chow diet and microplastics, high-fat/fructose/cholesterol diet, high-fat/fructose/cholesterol diet and microplastics. Following tissue collection after treatment, bulk RNA sequencing was carried out to profile transcriptomic activity of each group.

Project description:<p>The exposome represents a summation of exposures which influence an individual’s health over their lifetime. Understanding the exposome will aid in determining the environmental factors that contribute to disease states. Due to the biological complexity of the exposome and the resulting high dimensionality of the data, it is relatively difficult to predict adverse health outcomes resulting from a summation of environmental exposures. Therefore, accurate and relevant exposome criteria for biological assays is the first step toward addressing the current knowledge gaps for exposome research. This study aims to assess the presence of and health effects from exposure to contaminants in Wisconsin groundwater. We focused on three co-occurring chemicals that were detected at concentrations exceeding groundwater standards (i.e., nitrate, atrazine and imidacloprid) and the emerging contaminant, microplastics (i.e., polyethylene fiber). The agricultural chemical mixture of nitrate, atrazine and imidacloprid represent a known and ecologically relevant contaminant because each chemical individually has health risk levels established. Microplastics (MPs) are plastic fragments less than 5 mm in diameter that have been implicated in intestinal toxicity, altered metabolites, and other adverse health outcomes following exposure. In recent years, MPs have increasingly been found in locations where there could be interaction with other environmental contaminants such as pesticides. However, there is limited knowledge regarding the impacts of MPs on health of terrestrial species sources such as poultry. In this study, broilers were exposed to two ternary chemical mixtures or polyethylene microplastics (PE MPs) for 49 days. We observed significant perturbations to the cecal microbiome and metabolome of broiler in all exposure groups. We observed that both ternary mixtures and PE fiber MPs significantly altered the cecal microbiomes as determined by the enrichment of genera, Fournierella, Ruminococcus and an unclassified genus in the family Coriobacteriaceae. Perturbations to cecal microbial activity were also confirmed via modulation of pathways such as the pentose phosphate pathway, Vitamin B metabolism and metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450. The data presented here will aid in improving current groundwater regulations for agricultural chemical mixtures and microplastics. </p>
