Long-term exposure to polystyrene nanoparticles causes transgenerational toxicity by affecting the function and expression of MEV-1 and DAF-2 signals in Caenorhabditis elegans

Le Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the roles of oxidative stress and related signals in mediating transgenerational toxicity of 30 nm polystyrene nanoparticles in Caenorhabditis elegans. The results show that exposure to polystyrene nanoparticles causes transgenerational toxicity and activation of oxidative stress. Knockdown experiments suggest the involvement of specific genes in the induction and recovery of transgenerational toxicity.

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.

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.

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.

Summary: Nanoplastics have become a hot topic of discussion due to their futuristic impact as a major pollutant in water, soil, and air. The lack of analysis, contaminated quantity database, and legislative support has hindered essential eradication of the imminent pollutant effects. Recent studies show that nanosize particles induce more toxicity to aquatic and terrestrial animals compared to microsize and macrosize particles, contaminating the ecosystem.
