joint effects of micro-sized polystyrene and chlorpyrifos on zebrafish based on multiple endpoints and gut microbial effects

Zhiyi Huang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the combined effects of microplastics and organic contaminants on zebrafish, revealing that microplastics accumulated in the fish's gut and liver, leading to oxidative stress, hyperactive swimming performance, histological damages, and disruptions in the gut microbiota. The study also found that microplastics had a considerable adsorption capacity for the organophosphate pesticide chlorpyrifos, with greater effects on fish individuals when chlorpyrifos was adsorbed by microplastics. These findings underscore the importance of considering adsorbed chemicals in toxicological studies of microplastics.

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.

Microplastics reduce the bioaccumulation and oxidative stress damage of triazole fungicides in fish

Changsheng Li et al.

Summary: The study investigated the single and combined effects of polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) and the triazole fungicide difenoconazole on zebrafish. It was found that PS-MPs reduced the bioaccumulation of difenoconazole in zebrafish and alleviated oxidative stress damage in the liver. Transcriptome and qRT-PCR data revealed the association of multiple pathways in difenoconazole response, with the presence of PS-MPs ameliorating gene expression changes.

Aging relieves the promotion effects of polyamide microplastics on parental transfer and developmental toxicity of TDCIPP to zebrafish offspring

Xingli Zhang et al.

Summary: This study found that polyamide microplastics (PA MPs) clearly facilitated the bioaccumulation of tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCIPP) in the gonads of zebrafish and the transfer of TDCIPP from parents to offspring. Aged PA MPs exhibited stronger binding with TDCIPP compared to pristine forms, and intestinal damage was negligible, resulting in increased intestinal immobilization and prevented parental transfer of TDCIPP. Furthermore, the adverse effects on offspring, such as body weight loss and decreased length, were relieved after PA aging, likely due to the recovery of subintestinal venous plexus angiogenesis, yolk lipid utilization, and ATP synthesis.

Nanoplastic-Induced Genotoxicity and Intestinal Damage in Freshwater Benthic Clams (Corbicula fluminea): Comparison with Microplastics

Zhenling Li et al.

Summary: The study found that nanoplastics preferentially trigger processes related to cellular components and induce apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway in various tissues, especially in indirectly contacted tissues, while microplastics induce innate immune response and activate complement and coagulation cascades. Both types of plastics can cause inflammation and epithelial damage in the intestines, and notably alter the gut microbial community structure. Unlike microplastics, the impact of nanoplastics on the intestinal microflora is limited, but it can cause more severe damage to the intestinal mucosal barrier.
