Polystyrene microplastics-induced macrophage extracellular traps contributes to liver fibrotic injury by activating ROS/TGF-β/Smad2/3 signaling axis

Polystyrene microplastics induce pulmonary fibrosis by promoting alveolar epithelial cell ferroptosis through cGAS/STING signaling

Polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) are new types of environmental pollutant that have garnered significant attention in recent years since they were found to cause damage to the human respiratory system when they are inhaled. The pulmonary fibrosis is one of the serious consequences of PS-MPs inhalation. However, the impact and underlying mechanisms of PS-MPs on pulmonary fibrosis are not clear. In this study, we studied the potential lung toxicity and PS-MPs-developed pulmonary fibrosis by long-term intranasal inhalation of PS-MPs. The results showed that after exposing to the PS-MPs, the lungs of model mouse had different levels of damage and fibrosis. Meanwhile, exposing to the PS-MPs resulted in a markedly decrease in glutathione (GSH), an increase in malondialdehyde (MDA), and iron overload in the lung tissue of mice and alveolar epithelial cells (AECs). These findings suggested the occurrence of PS-MP-induced ferroptosis. Inhibitor of ferroptosis (Fer-1) had alleviated the PS-MPs-induced ferroptosis. Mechanically, PS-MPs triggered cell ferroptosis and promoted the development of pulmonary fibrosis via activating the cGAS/STING signaling pathway. Inhibition of cGAS/STING with G150/H151 attenuated pulmonary fibrosis after PS-MPs exposure. Together, these data provided novel mechanistic insights of PS-MPs-induced pulmonary fibrosis and a potential therapeutic paradigm.

Microplastics induced endoplasmic reticulum stress to format an inflammation and cell death in hepatocytes of carp (Cyprinus carpio)

Microplastics (MPs) are a serious threat to the living environment of aquatic organisms. However, there are fewer studies on the toxicity of microplastics to freshwater organisms. This study aimed to establish a polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) model by feeding carp (Cyprinus carpio) PS-MP (1000 ng/L) particles 8 μm in size. HE staining revealed a mass of inflammatory cells infiltrated in the carp hepatopancreas. The activities of alkaline phosphatase (AKP), aspartate transaminase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and alanine transaminase (ALT) were strengthened considerably, suggesting that PS-MPs cause injury to the hepatopancreas of carp. Real-Time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting results indicated increased levels of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), (PKR)-like ER kinase (PERK), eukaryotic translation initiation Factor 2α (EIF2α) and activating transcription Factor 4 (ATF4) genes and increased levels of inflammatory factors downstream of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERs) thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP), NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), interleukin-18 (IL-18), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and caspase 1. Increased expression of microtubule-associated protein-2 (LC3II), autophagy-related 5 (ATG5) and autophagy-related 12 (ATG12) genes revealed that PS-MPs promoted autophagy in carp hepatocytes. The enhanced expression of the Caspase 12, Caspase 3, and Bax genes suggested that PS-MPs led to the apoptosis of carp hepatocytes. These results suggest that PS-MPs result in serious injury to the hepatopancreas of carp. The present study of PS-MPs in freshwater fish from the aspect of endoplasmic reticulum stress was conducted to provide references and suggestions for toxicological studies of PS-MPs in freshwater environments.

PS-MPs promotes the progression of inflammation and fibrosis in diabetic nephropathy through NLRP3/Caspase-1 and TGF-β1/Smad2/3 signaling pathways

BACKGROUND

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a prevalent chronic microvascular complication of diabetes and the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Understanding the progressive etiology of DN is critical for the development of effective health policies and interventions. Recent research indicated that polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) contaminate our diets and accumulate in various organs, including the liver, kidneys, and muscles.

METHODS

In this study, ten-week-old db/db mice and db/m mice were fed. Besides, db/db mice were divided into two groups: PS-MPs group (oral administration of 0.5 µm PS-MPs) and an H2O group, and they were fed for three months. A type II diabetes model was established using db/db mice to investigate the effects of PS-MPs on body weight, blood glucose level, renal function, and renal fibrosis.

RESULTS

The results demonstrated that PS-MPs significantly exacerbated various biochemical indicators of renal tissue damage, including fasting blood glucose, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and blood uric acid. Additionally, PS-MPs worsened the pathological alterations and degree of fibrosis in renal tissue. An increased oxidative stress state and elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) were identified. Furthermore, PS-MPs significantly enhanced renal fibrosis by inhibiting the transition from epithelial cells to mesenchymal cells, specifically through the inhibition of the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway. The expression levels of NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), Caspase-1, and cleaved Caspase-1, which are inflammasome proteins, were significantly elevated in the PS-MPs group.

CONCLUSION

The findings suggested that PS-MPs could aggravate kidney injury and renal fibrosis in db/db mice by promoting NLRP3/Caspase-1 and TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathways. These findings had implications for elucidating the role of PS-MPs in DN progression, underscoring the necessity for additional research and public health interventions.

Impact of microplastics and nanoplastics on liver health: Current understanding and future research directions

With continuous population and economic growth in the 21st century, plastic pollution is a major global issue. However, the health concern of microplastics/ nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) decomposed from plastic wastes has drawn public attention only in the recent decade. This article summarizes recent works dedicated to understanding the impact of MPs/NPs on the liver-the largest digestive organ, which is one of the primary routes that MPs/NPs enter human bodies. The interrelated mechanisms including oxidative stress, hepatocyte energy re-distribution, cell death and autophagy, as well as immune responses and inflammation, were also featured. In addition, the disturbance of microbiome and gut-liver axis, and the association with clinical diseases such as metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease, steatohepatitis, liver fibrosis, and cirrhosis were briefly discussed. Finally, we discussed potential directions in regard to this trending topic, highlighted current challenges in research, and proposed possible solutions.

Microplastics induced apoptosis in macrophages by promoting ROS generation and altering metabolic profiles

The ubiquitous presence of Microplastics (MPs) in various environments documented in recent years has recently raised significant concerns about their toxic effects. While macrophages serve as the first line of defense against toxic substances and pathogens, the impact and mechanisms of microplastics on these immune cells remain unclear. This study aims to explore whether MPs induce macrophage apoptosis through the promotion of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and alterations in metabolic profiles. The viability of RAW264.7 cells decreased as the concentration of 0.5 µm or 5 µm MPs ranged from 0.2 to 1.5 mg/mL, with a more pronounced effect observed in the 0.5 µm MPs group. Zebrafish exposed to 0.5 µm or 5 µm MPs at a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL exhibited decreased macrophage abundance and increased apoptosis, accompanied by alterations in the expression of inflammatory and apoptosis-related genes. While 0.5 µm MPs were observed to enter macrophages, 5 µm MPs only adhered to the cell membrane surface. Both particle sizes induced ROS generation and disrupted cellular metabolism in RAW264.7 cells. Notably, macrophages exhibited a more pronounced response to 0.5 µm MPs, characterized by heightened ROS generation, increased secretion of pro-inflammatory mediators, and a significant decrease in sphingolipid metabolism. These findings suggest that the adverse effects on macrophages are greater with 0.5 µm MPs compared to 5 µm MPs, possibly attributed to particle size effects. This study contributes additional evidence on the impact of MPs on human immune cells.

Polystyrene microplastics exposure aggravates acute liver injury by promoting Kupffer cell pyroptosis

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the long-term effects of polystyrene (PS) exposure on acute liver injury.

METHODS

The carbon tetrachloride-induced acute injury mouse model was subjected to long-term PS exposure. Pyroptosis was inhibited by knocking out Gsdmd in mice or treating with the Gsdmd inhibitor necrosulfonamide (NSA) to evaluate the effect of PS on liver injury. Kupffer cells were used as a cellular model to examine the effects of PS on cell pyroptosis, lactate dehydrogenase release rate, structural integrity (propidium iodide staining), and inflammatory factor levels.

RESULTS

In mice, PS exposure exacerbated acute liver injury, which was mitigated upon Gsdmd knockout (KO) or NSA treatment along with the downregulation of tissue inflammatory response. In vitro studies demonstrated that PS promoted Kupffer cell pyroptosis, which was suppressed upon Gsdmd KO or NSA treatment along with the alleviation of inflammation.

CONCLUSION

These results suggest that long-term PS exposure exacerbates acute liver injury by promoting Kupffer cell pyroptosis, which is one of the hepatotoxic mechanisms of PS.

Intermittent mild cold stimulation alleviates cold stress-induced pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway in broilers

To investigate the potential protective effect of intermittent cold stimulation on lung tissues of broilers exposed to acute cold stress (ACS). A total of 384 one-day-old broilers were assigned to 4 experimental groups with 6 replicates of 16 birds each: control (CON) and ACS groups were reared at normal feeding temperature from d 1 to 42; cold treatment groups (CS3+ACS and CS9+ACS) were reared, respectively, at 3°C or 9°C for 5 h on alternate days below the CON group from d 15 to 35. Animals in CS3+ACS, CS9+ACS, and ACS groups were exposed at 10°C for 24 h on d 43. Subsequently, lung tissues were collected to perform histopathological examination and measurement of relevant indexes. The results showed that lung tissues in CS9+ACS and ACS groups exhibited increased inflammatory cell infiltrates and collagen deposition compared to the CON group, while this pathological phenomenon was less pronounced in the CS3+ACS group. Compared to CON group, H2O2 and MDA contents were increased, and the activities of antioxidant enzymes (CAT, SOD, GPx, T-AOC) were reduced in CS9+ACS and ACS group (P < 0.05); mRNA and protein levels of inhibitor of NF-κB, Smad7, matrix metallopeptidase (MMP)-2, MMP9, and antioxidant-related genes were downregulated, whereas mRNA and protein levels of genes related to NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway-regulated inflammation and TGF-β1/Smad pathway-regulated fibrosis were upregulated in cold-stressed broilers (P < 0.05). mRNA levels of heme oxygenase-1, NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase-1, and MMP9 were increased in CS3+ACS group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the expression of most antioxidant-related genes was increased, and that of inflammation- and fibrosis-related genes was reduced in CS3+ACS group (P < 0.05). Therefore, cold stress caused oxidative stress and inflammation, leading to pulmonary fibrosis in broilers, whereas intermittent mild cold stimulation at 3°C below normal rearing temperature alleviated fibrosis by inhibiting the TGF-β1/Smad pathway modulated by the Nrf2/HO-1 and NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway. This study suggests that intermittent mild cold stimulation can be a potential strategy to reduce ACS-induced lung damage in broilers.

Foodborne and airborne polyethersulfone nanoplastics respectively induce liver and lung injury in mice: Comparison with microplastics

Micro/nanoplastics (MNP) are ubiquitous in the environment and multiple living organisms. The toxicity of some common types of MNP, e.g., polyethersulfone (PES) MNP, remains poorly understood. Multi-omics approaches were used in this study to determine the effects of foodborne and airborne PES MNP on liver and lung, respectively. Foodborne MNP were capable of inducing gut microbial dysbiosis, gut and serum metabolic disruption, and liver transcriptomic dysregulation, and affecting serum antioxidant activity and liver function, resulting in liver injury. As for the airborne MNP, they were found to induce nasal and lung microbial dysbiosis, serum and lung metabolic disruption, and liver transcriptome disturbance, and cause disrupted serum antioxidant activity and lung injury. Foodborne and airborne PES NP were found to respectively induce greater liver and lung toxicity than MP, which could be associated with the differences between NP and MP exposures. The relevant results suggest that foodborne PES MNP could disrupt the "gut microbiota-gut-liver" axis and induce hepatic injury, while airborne PES MNP could affect the "airborne microbiota-lung" axis and cause lung injury. The findings could benefit the diagnoses of liver and lung injury respectively induced by foodborne and airborne PES MNP, as well as the proper use of PES in human living environment.

Attenuative effects of tamarixetin against polystyrene microplastics-induced hepatotoxicity in rats by regulation of Nrf-2/Keap-1 pathway

Polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) are environmental contaminants due to their potential to induce damages in multiple organs specifically liver. Tamarixetin (TMT) is a naturally occurring flavonoid present in Tamarix ramosissima plant that exhibits multiple pharmacological properties. Therefore, the present research was designed to evaluate the palliative role of TMT against PS-MPs instigated liver dysfunction in rats. The exposure to PS-MPs reduced the expressions of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 and antioxidant genes, while increasing the expression of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1. PS-MPs exposed rats exhibited considerably (p < .05) higher alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) as well as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) contents. Additionally, PS-MPs treatment resulted in a notable decrease in anti-oxidants activity, that is, glutathione S-transferase (GST), superoxide dismutase (SOD), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), glutathione reductase (GSR), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT) and glutathione (GSH) content, whereas upregulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents. Moreover, PS-MPs intoxication noticeably increased (p < .05) the inflammatory indices (interleukin-1ß [IL-1ß], nuclear factor kappa B [NF-κB], interleukin-6 [IL-6], tumor necrosis factor-α [TNF-α] levels, and cyclooxygenase-2 [COX-2] activity). Besides, Caspase-3 and Bax expressions were upregulated and Bcl-2 expression was decreased after PS-MPs exposure. Additionally, the histomorphological examination revealed notable hepatic damage in PS-MPs treated group. However, TMT treatment substantially (p < .05) recovered all the PS-MPs-induced damages and histopathological changes. Taken together, it can be deduced that TMT might be used as a pharmacological agent to ameliorate hepatic damage.

Network of Extracellular Traps in the Pathogenesis of Sterile Chronic Inflammatory Diseases: Role of Oxidative Stress and Potential Clinical Applications

Significance: Extracellular traps (ETs) represent structured frameworks that comprised DNA embellished with histones and granular proteins extruded by immune cells in response to various stimuli. Immune cells contribute to adverse effects of chronic inflammation via ET generation, promoting the release of nuclear chromatin, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and bioactive proteins into the extracellular matrix. Recent Advances: The occurrence of ET formation has been documented across diverse immune cell types. The excessive production of ROS during the activation of these cells has the potential to initiate substantial DNA damage, culminating in chromosome decondensation. The inflammatory microenvironment fosters ROS and ET generation, impacting tissue microenvironment remodeling. Recent studies reveal ET involvement in sustaining persistent inflammation, promoting angiogenesis, and initiating thrombotic processes. Critical Issues: This review elucidates ET participation in chronic inflammatory disease etiology, detailing ROS-dependent and ROS-independent ET formation mechanisms and their contextual manifestations. It discusses diverse immune cell-derived ETs in the inflammatory milieu and their responses to therapies. Furthermore, the review emphasizes the significance of ETs as potential biomarkers and envisions prophylactic strategies against ET-associated chronic inflammation. Future Directions: Subsequent investigations are warranted to uncover the intricate mechanisms governing the resolution of inflammation through ETs in normal physiological processes. Moreover, a comprehensive understanding of the aberrant pathways driving ET formation in persistent inflammation is imperative. Prospective research endeavors should focus on executing expansive clinical studies to discern the involvement of ETs in both the diagnostic and prognostic facets of inflammatory diseases, thereby shedding light on their prospective utility as biomarkers.

The emerging role of microplastics in systemic toxicity: Involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS)

Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental threats the world is facing currently. The degradation of macroplastics into smaller forms viz. microplastics (MPs) or Nanoplastics (NPs) is a potential threat to both terrestrial and marine ecosystems and also to human health by directly affecting the organs and activating a plethora of intracellular signaling, that may lead to cell death. There is accumulating evidence that supports the serious toxicity caused by MP/NPs at all levels of biological complexities (biomolecules, organelles, cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems) and the involvement of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in this process. Studies indicate that MPs or NPs can accumulate in mitochondria and further disrupt the mitochondrial electron transport chain, cause mitochondrial membrane damage, and perturb the mitochondrial membrane potential or depolarization of the mitochondria. These events eventually lead to the generation of different types of reactive free radicals, which can induce DNA damage, protein oxidation, lipid peroxidation, and compromization of the antioxidant defense pool. Furthermore, MP-induced ROS was found to trigger a plethora of signaling cascades, such as the p53 signaling pathway, Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) signaling pathway including the c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK), p38 kinase, and extracellular signal related kinases (ERK1/2) signaling cascades, Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-pathway, Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinases (PI3Ks)/Akt signaling pathway, and Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) pathways, to name a few. As a consequence of oxidative stress caused by the MPs/NPs, different types of organ damage are observed in living species, including humans, such as pulmonary toxicity, cardiotoxicity, neurotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, immunotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, hepatotoxicity, etc. Although presently, a good amount of research is going on to access the detrimental effects of MPs/NPs on human health, there is a lack of proper model systems, multi-omics approaches, interdisciplinary research, and mitigation strategies.

Microplastic polyamide toxicity: Neurotoxicity, stress indicators and immune responses in crucian carp, Carassius carassius

This study aimed to determine the toxicity standard and potential risks and effects of polyamide (PA) exposure on neurotoxicity, stress indicators, and immune responses in juvenile crucian carp Carassius carassius. Numerous microplastics (MPs) exists within aquatic environments, leading to diverse detrimental impacts on aquatic organisms. The C. carassius (mean weight, 23.7 ± 1.6 g; mean length, 13.9 ± 1.4 cm) were exposed to PA concentrations of 0, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 mg/L for 2 weeks. Among the neurotransmitters, the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in the liver, gill, and intestine of C. carassius was significantly inhibited by PA exposure. Stress indicators such as cortisol and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in the liver, gill, and intestine of C. carassius were significantly increased, while immune responses to lysozyme and immunoglobulin M (IgM) were significantly decreased. Our study demonstrates the toxic effects of MP exposure on crucian carp's neurotoxicity, stress indicators, and immune responses.

Co-exposure of avermectin and imidacloprid induces DNA damage, pyroptosis, and immune dysfunction in epithelioma papulosum cyprini cells via ROS-mediated Keap1/Nrf2/TXNIP axis

Pesticide mixtures can reduce pest resistance, however, their overuse severely threatens aquatic animal survival and public health. Avermectin (AVM) and imidacloprid (IMI) are potent insecticides often employed in agriculture. By inducing oxidative stress, these chemicals can induce cell death. Here, we evaluated the combined toxicity of AVM and IMI on EPC cells based on the concept of toxicity units (TU). We established EPC cell models exposed to AVM and IMI alone and in combination. The results showed that AVM and IMI had additive effects on the toxicity of EPC cells. Meanwhile, the co-exposure of AVM and IMI exacerbated oxidative stress and induced excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), triggered Keap1/Nrf2/TXNIP axis, caused DNA damage and increased the expression of genes related to pyroptosis. In addition, co-exposure to AVM and IMI caused immunosuppression of EPC cells. The ROS inhibitor N-Acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) can dramatically reverse these alterations brought on by AVM and IMI co-exposure. The findings above conclude that co-exposure to AVM and IMI causes DNA damage, pyroptosis, and immunosuppression in EPC cells through the ROS-mediated Keap1/Nrf2/TXNIP pathway. This study revealed the joint toxicity of AVM and IMI on EPC cells, and reminded people to consider its impact on aquatic animals when using pesticide mixtures.

Effect of Europinidin against Alcohol-Induced Liver Damage in Rats by Inhibiting the TNF-α/TGF-β/IFN-γ/NF-kB/Caspase-3 Signaling Pathway

BACKGROUND

The effect of europinidin on alcoholic liver damage in rats was examined in this research.

METHODS

A total of 24 Wistar rats were grouped in the same way into four groups: normal control (normal), ethanol control (EtOH), europinidin low dose (10 mg/kg), and europinidin higher dose (20 mg/kg). The test group rats were orally treated with europinidin-10 and europinidin-20 for 4 weeks, whereas 5 mL/kg distilled water was administered to control rats. In addition, 1 h after the last dose of the above-mentioned oral treatment, 5 mL/kg (i.p.) EtOH was injected to induce liver injury. After 5 h of EtOH treatment, samples of blood were withdrawn for biochemical estimations.

RESULTS

Administration of europinidin at both doses restored all of the estimated serum, i.e., liver function tests (ALT, AST, ALP), biochemical test (Creatinine, albumin, BUN, direct bilirubin, and LDH), lipid assessment (TC and TG), endogenous antioxidants (GSH-Px, SOD, and CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), cytokines (TGF-β, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IFN-γ, and IL-12), caspase-3, and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) associated with the EtOH group.

CONCLUSION

The results of the investigation showed that europinidin had favorable effects in rats given EtOH and may have hepatoprotective potential property.

The detrimental effects of micro-and nano-plastics on digestive system: An overview of oxidative stress-related adverse outcome pathway

With the massive manufacture and use of plastics, plastic pollution-related environmental impacts have raised great concern in recent years. As byproducts of plastic fragmentation and degradation, microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) have been identified as novel pollutants that posed a threat to the ecosystem and humans. Since MPs/NPs could be transported via the food chain and retained in the water, the digestive system should be one of the major targets of MPs/NPs-related toxicity. Although considerable evidence has supported the digestive toxicity of MPs/NPs, the proposed mechanisms remained ambiguous due to the variety of study types, models, and endpoints. This review provided a mechanism-based perspective on MPs/NPs-induced digestive effects by adopting the adverse outcome pathway framework as a promising tool. The overproduction of reactive oxygen species was identified as the molecular initiating event in MPs/NPs-mediated injury to the digestive system. A series of detrimental effects including oxidative stress, apoptosis, inflammation, dysbiosis, and metabolic disorders were summarized as key events. Finally, the occurrence of these effects eventually led to an adverse outcome, suggesting a possible increase in the incidence of digestive morbidity and mortality.

The need for environmentally realistic studies on the health effects of terrestrial microplastics

Plastic pollution is now so widespread that microplastics are regularly detected in biological samples surveyed for their presence. Despite their pervasiveness, very little is known about the effects of microplastics on the health of terrestrial vertebrates. While emerging studies are showing that microplastics represent a potentially serious threat to animal health, data have been limited to in vivo studies on laboratory rodents that were force fed plastics. The extent to which these studies are representative of the conditions that animals and humans might actually experience in the real world is largely unknown. Here, we review 114 papers from the peer-reviewed literature in order to understand how the concentrations and types of microplastics being administered to rodents in lab studies compare to those found in terrestrial soils. From 73 in vivo lab studies, and 41 soil studies, we found that lab studies have heretofore fed rodents microplastics at concentrations that were hundreds of thousands of times greater than they would be exposed to in nature. Furthermore, health effects have been studied for only 20% of the microplastic polymers that are known to occur in soils. Plastic pollution is arguably one of the most pressing ecological and public health issues of our time, yet existing lab-based research on the health effects of terrestrial microplastics does not reflect the conditions that free-ranging vertebrates are actually experiencing. Going forward, performing more true-to-life research will be of the utmost importance to fully understand the impacts of microplastics and maintain the public's faith in the scientific process.
