Polyethylene microplastics cooperate with Helicobacter pylori to promote gastric injury and inflammation in mice

Xiaohan Tong et al.

Summary: This study found that the interaction between polyethylene microplastics (PE MPs) and Helicobacter pylori exacerbated bacterial colonization on gastric mucosal epithelial cells, increased the efficiency of microplastic entry into tissues, and resulted in gastric damage and inflammation in mice. The results suggest that microplastics may provide a stable habitat for H. pylori and act synergistically with them to pose a potential threat to human health.

Effects and underlying cellular pathway involved in the impairment of the neurovascular unit following exposure of adult male mice to low doses of di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate alone or in an environmental phthalate mixture

Delnia Ahmadpour et al.

Summary: This study found that exposure of adult male mice to low doses of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) can lead to loss of blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity and damage in the medial preoptic area (mPOA) involved in male sexual behavior. The exposure to DEHP resulted in reduced androgen receptor (AR) levels and decreased components of the basement membrane and cell-matrix interaction, leading to neurodegeneration. The findings suggest that environmental exposure to endocrine disruptors like phthalates can disrupt glio-neurovascular coupling and alter sexual behavior.

Jin Soo Choi et al.

Summary: This study examines the toxicity of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) microfibers on mussels and demonstrates the potential sublethal impacts and reproductive failure caused by long-term exposure to low concentrations of PET microfibers. The findings show that PET microfibers accumulate in the stomachs and intestines of mussels, causing digestive tubule atrophy. In addition, PET microfibers decrease sex hormone levels and increase enzyme activities related to antioxidant and neurotoxicity in mussels. Changes in cellular immune parameters are also observed.

Polystyrene nanoparticle exposure supports ROS-NLRP3 axis-dependent DNA-NET to promote liver inflammation

Qianru Chi et al.

Summary: The use of plastics and nanotechnology has brought convenience to our lives, but it also increases the environmental burden and the risk of exposure to nanoparticles. This study reveals that exposure to polystyrene nanoparticles (PSNPs) leads to neutrophil infiltration and neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation in the liver. Further research shows that NET formation is associated with the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-NLRP3 axis. Inhibition of ROS and NLRP3 can alleviate PSNP-induced NET formation. Moreover, the use of DNase I-coated PSNPs can disassemble NET, reduce neutrophil infiltration in the liver, inhibit the ROS-NLRP3 axis, and decrease cytokine expression.
