Early developmental nanoplastics exposure disturbs circadian rhythms associated with stress resistance decline and modulated by DAF-16 and PRDX-2 in C. elegans

Chan-Wei Yu et al.

Summary: The study revealed that early developmental exposure to polystyrene NPs disrupts circadian rhythms in C. elegans, affecting chemotaxis response levels. Furthermore, NPs exposure leads to increased bioaccumulation in entrained worms and production of reactive oxygen species, which are related to disturbed circadian rhythms. The research also showed that the circadian disruption induced by NPs is associated with a decline in stress resistance and is modulated by transcription DAF-16/FOXO signaling.

Increase in germline methyltransferases governing the methylation of histone H3K9 is associated with transgenerational nanoplastic toxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans

Le Zhang et al.

Summary: Long-term exposure to 20 nm polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-NPs) in Caenorhabditis elegans caused transgenerational toxicity, with dysregulation of germline histone methyltransferases (HMTs) including increased expression of MET-2 and SET-6. Knockdown of MET-2 and SET-6, required for methylation of H3K9, affected the transgenerational PS-NP toxicity, highlighting the role of these HMTs in mediating the toxicity after exposure.

Micro (nano) plastics in wastewater: A critical review on toxicity risk assessment, behaviour, environmental impact and challenges

Simranjeet Singh et al.

Summary: This study aims to contribute towards understanding the behavior of nanoplastics in our environment, specifically through identification of various sources, detection techniques, toxicity estimation, health risk in humans, environmental fate, recovery and reuse, and future challenges and limitations. Detailed review on the toxic effects of nanoplastics on various organisms and their degradation rates in soil and water matrices are provided. The study also discusses the suitability of small- and large-scale separation techniques for the removal of nanoplastics in wastewater treatment plants, as well as current challenges and future perspectives in understanding the fate and transport of nanoplastics in the environment, including research gaps and the importance of reducing, reusing, and recycling plastic products.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes induce transgenerational toxicity associated with activation of germline long non-coding RNA linc-7 in C. elegans

Yingyue Zhao et al.

Summary: This study investigated the transgenerational toxicity of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and the role of germline long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in Caenorhabditis elegans. The results showed that exposure to MWCNTs caused transgenerational toxicity in terms of decreased brood size and impaired locomotion behavior. Among germline lncRNAs, expression of 5 lncRNAs was dysregulated by MWCNT exposure. Further analysis revealed that only germline RNAi of linc-7 affected MWCNT toxicity. Germline linc-7 expression was increased transgenerationally, and transgenerational MWCNT toxicity was prevented in linc-7 (RNAi) nematodes. Additionally, germline linc-7 controlled transgenerational MWCNT toxicity by activating downstream transcription factor DAF-12.

Microplastics and Their Impact on Reproduction-Can we Learn From the C. elegans Model?

Elysia Jewett et al.

Summary: Biologically active environmental pollutants, such as microplastic and nanoplastic particles, have significant impact on ecosystems, wildlife, and human health. These plastic particles can cause oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular damage, resulting in reproductive and health issues in animals and humans. However, the full extent of their impact is not yet fully understood, though they carry additional risks through the contaminants and toxic chemicals they transport.

Neuronal Gα subunits required for the control of response to polystyrene nanoparticles in the range of μg/L in C. elegans

Yunhan Yang et al.

Summary: This study identified the roles of neuronal G alpha proteins GOA-1, GSA-1, and GPA-10 in controlling the response to polystyrene nanoparticles in nematodes. These proteins transduce signals from multiple GPCRs to different downstream signaling pathways, regulating toxicity effects. The findings emphasize the significance of GPCRs-G alpha signaling cascade in neurons for managing nanoplastic responses in organisms.

Size-dependent transgenerational toxicity induced by nanoplastics in nematode Caenorhabditis elegans

Huanliang Liu et al.

Summary: The study compared the transgenerational toxicity of 20 nm and 100 nm polystyrene nanoparticles using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model, finding that exposure to 20 nm particles resulted in more severe toxicity than 100 nm particles due to differences in transgenerational activation of oxidative stress.

Micro- and nanoplastic induced cellular toxicity in mammals: A review

Amrita Banerjee et al.

Summary: Plastic-based products are widely used in daily life but their limited biodegradability has raised pollution concerns globally, particularly micro- and nanoplastics. These pollutants are widespread in various environments and have well-documented biological effects on aquatic organisms, while their impacts on mammals remain insufficiently studied. Small size, positive charge, high dose, and presence of toxic additives or pollutants in micro/nanoplastics appear to induce cellular toxicity through oxidative stress, membrane damage, immune response, and genotoxicity.

What Is on the Outside Matters-Surface Charge and Dissolve Organic Matter Association Affect the Toxicity and Physiological Mode of Action of Polystyrene Nanoplastics to C. elegans

Carolin L. Schultz et al.

Summary: Surface functionalization and eco-corona formation can modulate the toxicity of nanoplastics, altering the potency and order of toxicity. The effects of surface charges on nanoplastic toxicity are primarily linked to differences in effect thresholds and dose-associated damage parameters, rather than toxicokinetic parameters. Eco-corona interactions between particles can reduce toxicity, but the order of potency of charged forms remains consistent.

Response of tyramine and glutamate related signals to nanoplastic exposure in Caenorhabditis elegans

Shuting Wang et al.

Summary: Neurotransmission related signals, specifically tyramine and glutamate, play crucial roles in regulating the toxicity of nanoplastics in Caenorhabditis elegans. Tyramine induces toxicity while glutamate alleviates toxicity, with both signals being mediated through neurons. Tyramine receptor TYRA-2 and glutamate receptors GLR-4 and GLR-8 act upstream of specific signaling pathways to regulate nanoplastic toxicity.
