Polyethylene microplastics trigger cell apoptosis and inflammation via inducing oxidative stress and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in carp gills

Jingwen Cao et al.

Summary: Microplastics cause damage to aquatic organisms, particularly the gills which are among the first tissues to be affected. This study found that polyethylene microplastics induce inflammation, vascular remodeling, mucus cell proliferation, oxidative stress, cell apoptosis, and inflammatory immune responses in the gills. These findings provide a new target for preventing toxin-induced gill injury from polyethylene microplastics.

Exposure to polystyrene microplastics triggers lung injury via targeting toll-like receptor 2 and activation of the NF-KB signal in mice

Jingwen Cao et al.

Summary: Microplastics are common pollutants that have various plastic applications. They can now be found in the air and inhaled into the lungs, leading to respiratory diseases. This study utilized mice models to demonstrate that exposure to polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPS) of different sizes caused severe inflammatory responses, apoptosis, and collagen deposition in the lungs, with smaller sizes having more noticeable damage. The study also found that PS-MPS targeted binding to Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), exacerbating fibrosis by promoting inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis through activation of the NF-KB signal pathway.

Polystyrene microplastics induced inflammation with activating the TLR2 signal by excessive accumulation of ROS in hepatopancreas of carp (Cyprinus carpio)

Jie Cui et al.

Summary: By feeding carp with polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) particles of 8 μm in size and a concentration of 1000 ng/L water, a PS-MPs model of carp was established. An abnormal increase in the activities of AKP, ALT, AST, and LDH in the hepatopancreas indicated damage to this organ's function caused by PS-MPs. PS-MPs also induced oxidative stress, with a decrease in the activities of antioxidant enzymes and excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, PS-MPs activated the Toll-like receptor-2 (TLR2) signaling pathway, leading to increased expression of inflammatory molecules in both hepatopancreas and hepatocytes.

Role of Gut Microbiota in Multiple Sclerosis and Potential Therapeutic Implications

Xu Wang et al.

Summary: The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) by influencing intestinal barrier permeability, initiating autoimmune responses, and disrupting blood-brain barrier integrity. This suggests that targeting the gut microbiota could be a potential therapeutic approach for MS.

Altered gut microbiota patterns in COVID-19: Markers for inflammation and disease severity

Chiranjib Chakraborty et al.

Summary: This article explores the critical factors affecting the gut microbiota in COVID-19 patients, including gut microbiota imbalance and gastrointestinal symptoms, the pattern of altered gut microbiota composition in COVID-19 patients, and the interactions between the microbiota and the gut-lung axis/gut-brain-lung axis. It also discusses the gut microbiota in elderly or co-morbid patients and gut microbiota dysbiosis in severe COVID-19, as well as clinical trials related to probiotics in COVID-19 patients. Increased inflammation is a major driving force for COVID-19 symptoms and disruption of the gut microbiome, and understanding the role of the gut microbiota in immune modulation during SARS-CoV-2 infection may help improve therapeutic strategies for COVID-19 treatment.

Therapeutic Mechanisms of Berberine to Improve the Intestinal Barrier Function via Modulating Gut Microbiota, TLR4/NF-kappa B/MTORC Pathway and Autophagy in Cats

JingWen Cao et al.

Summary: This study investigated the mechanism of berberine in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in cats. The results showed that berberine can alleviate inflammation by modulating the Toll-like receptors 4 (TLR4)/nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kappa B) signaling pathway and activating autophagy. Additionally, berberine significantly reduces the expression of inflammatory cytokines in cats' serum and enhances the antioxidant effect, thereby repairing intestinal barrier function.

Analysis of gut microbiota alteration and application as an auxiliary prognostic marker for sepsis in children: a pilot study

Bailu Du et al.

Summary: The study confirmed that children with sepsis experienced gut microbiota dysbiosis, with reduced diversity and altered structure. They had more opportunistic pathogens like Acinetobacter and Enterococcus, and fewer beneficial bacteria. The composition of gut microbiota was closely related to clinical characteristics, antibiotic therapy duration, and mortality rate.

Summary: Plastic pollution has become a global issue, prompting us to consider plastics as emergent geomaterials never before seen in Earth's history. With high carbon content, plastics can rival natural organic carbon in some ecosystems, prompting geochemists to include plastics in their analyses to expedite understanding of plastics in the Earth system. Furthermore, plastics can serve as global-scale tracers to advance Earth system science.

Plastic particles in soil: state of the knowledge on sources, occurrence and distribution, analytical methods and ecological impacts

Elvis D. Okoffo et al.

Summary: The increased production and use of plastics have led to a rise in plastic debris accumulating in the environment, with potential fragmentation into smaller pieces defined as microplastics and nanoplastics. Studies have focused on the occurrence and hazards of plastic particles in aquatic environments, but less is known about plastic particles in terrestrial environments, including accumulation in soils, sources, impacts, and analytical techniques. This review provides a comprehensive overview of plastic pollution in soil, highlighting known sources, distribution, analytical techniques, ecological impacts, and areas for future research.
