Physiological and metabolic toxicity of polystyrene microplastics to Dunaliella salina

Su-chun Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the physiological and metabolic effects of polystyrene (PS) and aged polystyrene (A-PS) microplastics on Dunaliella salina. It was found that they inhibited the growth of microalgae but promoted pigment synthesis. Oxidative stress analysis showed that PS and A-PS caused oxidative damage to algal cells. Metabolomics analysis showed that PS and A-PS significantly increased different metabolites.

The potential effects of microplastic pollution on human digestive tract cells

Yuting Zhang et al.

Summary: Environmental microplastics can enter the human body through food and have negative effects on organism health. In this study, different sizes of polystyrene particles were examined for their effects on human colonic epithelial cells and small intestinal epithelial cells. The uptake of nanosized polystyrene particles was found to be more potential than microsized particles, and the amount of uptake was proportional to the exposure time. The polystyrene particles had no significant effect on cell viability and apoptosis, but the high concentration showed low toxicity to oxidative stress levels and mitochondrial membrane potential. Additionally, the membrane damage caused by microsized particles was significantly higher than that of nanosized particles.

Consequences of nano and microplastic exposure in rodent models: the known and unknown

Walison Augusto da Silva Brito et al.

Summary: The ubiquitous presence of micro- and nanoplastics has become a growing environmental concern, with the potential impact on human health remaining uncertain. Research has focused on rodent models to understand the effects of exposure to individual plastic polymers, and data has shown that the effects depend on various factors such as particle size, polymer, shape, charge, concentration, and exposure routes. Rodents exposed to micro- and nanoplastics exhibit local inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic disruption, leading to gastrointestinal toxicity, hepatotoxicity, reproduction disorders, and neurotoxic effects.

A review on microplastics and nanoplastics in the environment: Their occurrence, exposure routes, toxic studies, and potential effects on human health

Sarawut Sangkham et al.

Summary: Microplastics and nanoplastics are emerging environmental pollutants that pose significant ecotoxicological concerns to humans and aquatic animals. However, there is still limited knowledge about the exposure routes and toxic effects of these particles on animal and human health. This review focuses on the potential exposure routes, human health impacts, and toxicity responses of microplastics/nanoplastics, based on studies conducted in vitro and in vivo experiments. It highlights ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contacts as major exposure routes, and identifies oxidative stress, cytotoxicity, DNA damage, inflammation, immune response, neurotoxicity, and metabolic disruption as serious health consequences.

Reproductive toxicity of polystyrene microplastics: In vivo experimental study on testicular toxicity in mice

Baolian Hou et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of microplastics on spermatogenesis in mice, showing a significant reduction in sperm count and an increase in deformity rate. Exposure to microplastics caused atrophy, shedding, and apoptosis of sperm cells in the testis, and disrupted the balance of Nrf2/HO-1/NF-κB pathway, leading to abnormal sperm quality in ICR mice.

Polystyrene microplastics induced male reproductive toxicity in mice

Haibo Jin et al.

Summary: This study investigated the toxic effects of polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) on male reproductive systems in mice. The results showed that PS-MPs accumulated in the testis, entered testicular cells, and led to decreased sperm quality and testosterone levels. Additionally, PS-MPs induced testicular inflammation and disruption of the blood-testis barrier, demonstrating the potential reproductive dysfunctions caused by microplastics.

Yuexin Wei et al.

Summary: Exposure to polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) has been found to decrease sperm quality and quantity in male Balb/c mice. This is likely due to the disruption of blood-testis barrier (BTB) integrity, induced by PS-MPs causing cytoskeleton disorganization and imbalanced mTORC1 and mTORC2 activities via increased ROS levels.

Underestimated health risks: polystyrene micro- and nanoplastics jointly induce intestinal barrier dysfunction by ROS-mediated epithelial cell apoptosis

Boxuan Liang et al.

Summary: The study found that the combination of PS50 and PS500 in the mouse intestines could lead to dysfunction of the intestinal barrier, primarily through ROS-mediated epithelial cell apoptosis. It suggests that the health risks of exposure to PS micro- and nanoplastics on organisms may be underestimated due to previous studies focusing on single particle sizes.
