The effects of exposure to microplastics on grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) at the physiological, biochemical, and transcriptomic levels

Yang Liu et al.

Summary: The study found that grass carp exposed to microplastics exhibited liver cytoplasmic vacuolation and inhibited growth, as well as suppression of the antioxidant system and enhancement of oxidative stress. Transcriptome analysis revealed differentially expressed genes related to energy metabolism pathways and PPAR signaling pathway.

Microplastics influence physiological processes, growth and reproduction in the Manila clam, Ruditapes philippinarum

Weiwei Jiang et al.

Summary: The study found that both 5 and 10 μm PS microplastics were ingested and accumulated in various organs of the Manila clam. This led to increased respiration and excretion rates, decreased feeding and absorption efficiency, and ultimately slower growth. The DEB model predicts negative impacts on growth and reproductive potentiality after 200 days of PS microplastic exposure. Transciptomic analysis revealed significant alterations in carbon and protein metabolism pathways in clams exposed to PS microplastics.

The influence of different polymer types of microplastics on adsorption, accumulation, and toxicity of triclosan in zebrafish

Cheng Sheng et al.

Summary: Different types of microplastics can affect the adsorption, accumulation, and toxicity of triclosan in zebrafish, with polypropylene having the highest adsorption capacity. Co-exposure to triclosan and polypropylene microplastics significantly increased oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in the liver, as well as enhanced neurotoxicity in the brain. Microplastics contributed more to metabolic disorders in the liver compared to triclosan alone.

Polystyrene microplastics induced male reproductive toxicity in mice

Haibo Jin et al.

Summary: This study investigated the toxic effects of polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) on male reproductive systems in mice. The results showed that PS-MPs accumulated in the testis, entered testicular cells, and led to decreased sperm quality and testosterone levels. Additionally, PS-MPs induced testicular inflammation and disruption of the blood-testis barrier, demonstrating the potential reproductive dysfunctions caused by microplastics.

In vitro toxicity from a physical perspective of polyethylene microplastics based on statistical curvature change analysis

Daheui Choi et al.

Summary: Microplastics, which decompose into small fragments under external stress, are posing a significant threat to the environment. This study demonstrates the in vitro toxicity of microplastics with two different shapes, showing that higher concentration and rough structure can lead to toxicity towards cells. The statistical analysis confirms that irregular-shaped microplastics may adversely affect cells and potentially pose a risk to human health in the real environment.

Microplastics pollution in the Brahmaputra River and the Indus River of the Indian Himalaya

Tenzin Tsering et al.

Summary: This study investigated microplastics pollution in river shore sediment of the Indian Himalaya, highlighting the abundance of small-sized microplastics and the dominance of fragmented, secondary microplastics in the sediments. The study contributes to filling the research gap on microplastics in India's freshwater sources and emphasizes the importance of comprehensive studies on microplastics in rivers that serve as pathways and sinks for these pollutants.

Polystyrene microplastics impact the occurrence of antibiotic resistance genes in earthworms by size-dependent toxic effects

Guanghui Xu et al.

Summary: This study revealed that the size of microplastics has a significant impact on the occurrence of antibiotic resistance genes in earthworms, as well as on the abundance and composition of the microbial community. It emphasizes the size-dependent toxic effects of microplastics and their influence on the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes in terrestrial environments.

Insight into the immune and microbial response of the white-leg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei to microplastics

Zhenlu Wang et al.

Summary: Exposure to different concentrations of microplastics had varying effects on the survival, immune-related gene expression, and microbial response of shrimp. Low concentrations did not cause immune defense responses or death but affected the bacterial composition balance, while high concentrations induced immune responses, microbial changes, and even death. These findings contribute to our understanding of the impacts of microplastics on aquatic organisms.

Wenfeng Yang et al.

Summary: This study found that nanoplastics had higher inhibition rates on microalgae compared to microplastics, but the inhibitory effect decreased with prolonged exposure time. The mechanisms of nanoplastics' impact on algae varied at different concentrations, including gene expression inhibition, hindered DNA damage repair, and promotion of detoxification.
