As the production, usage, and disposal of plastics increase, microplastics generated—plastic particles smaller than 5 mm—increases, exacerbating environmental pollution. In turn, various organisms become increasingly exposed to contaminated environments, potentially affecting humans through food chain. Crucial findings from in vivo experiments indicate histopathological changes caused by impact morphology physiological function organisms. This study describes induced across circulatory, nervous, digestive, respiratory, reproductive systems explains associated functional alterations. Except nervous system, main morphological involve degenerative throughout body, such as apoptosis, inflammation, fibrosis. Most were inflammatory responses microplastics, leading fibrosis subsequent impairments. Various studies confirm that stimulate cells, increased reactive oxygen species cell death. Consequently, these impair related systemic functions. review highlights fundamental organs cells due discusses limitations involving showing no changes.

Plastics are novel environmental pollutants with potential threats to the ecosystem. At least 5.25 trillion plastic particles in environment, of which nanoplastics <100 nm diameter. Polystyrene (PS-NPs) exposure damaged spleen's immune function. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced other toxicants damage cells and organs, triggering inflammation. However, mechanism PS-NPs aggravated LPS-induced spleen injury remains unclear. In this study, or/and LPS mice model was replicated by intraperitoneal injection LPS, were exposed RAW264.7 cells. The histopathological ultrastructural changes observed H&E staining transmission electron microscope. Western Blot, qRT-PCR, fluorescent probes used detect reactive oxygen species (ROS), oxidative stress indicators, inflammatory factors, necroptosis-related indicators results showed that or stress, activated MAPK pathway, eventually caused necroptosis inflammation Compared single treatment group, + group more obvious. Furthermore, ROS inhibitor N-Acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) significantly inhibited activation mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway co-treatment reducing demonstrated promoted through ROS/MAPK pathway. This study increases data on organism expands research ideas clues.

Di-(2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and microplastics (MPs) have released widespread residues to the environment possess ability cause damage humans animals. However, there are still gaps in study of neurons caused by DEHP MPs mice cerebra whether they combined toxic effects. To investigate underlying mechanism action, were fed 200 mg/kg 10 mg/L vivo. In vitro, NS20Y (CBNumber: CB15474825) cells treated with 25 μM 775 MPs. Next, qRT-PCR western blot analysis performed evaluate PI3K/AKT pathway genes, mitochondrial dynamics-related apoptosis-related GSK-3β its associated mRNA, protein expression. determine pathological changes cerebra, hematoxylin eosin (H&E) staining, transmission electron microscopy, TUNEL staining employed. levels reactive oxygen species (ROS) apoptosis ROS acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB) flow cytometry performed. Our results demonstrated that function, gene expression through pathway, which eventually led neurons. Moreover, our findings showed a effect on cerebra. facilitate understanding neurotoxic effects help identify important role maintaining normal function protecting cerebrum health.

Microplastics (MPs) seriously pollute and potentially threaten human health. Birds are sentinels of environmental pollutants, which respond quickly to contamination events reveal current exposure. Therefore, birds good bioindicators for monitoring pollutants. However, the mechanism lung injury in role PTEN/PI3K/AKT axis unknown. In this study, broilers treated with different polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) (0, 1, 10, 100 mg/L) were exposed drinking water 6 weeks analyze effect PS-MPs on broilers. The results showed that increase concentration, malonaldehyde (MDA) content increased, catalase (CAT) glutathione (GSH) activity decreased, further leading oxidative stress. caused PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway be inhibited by phosphorylation, autophagy accelerated formation (LC3) degradation (p62), causing autophagy. tissues, expression Bax/Bcl-2 Caspase family MAPK signaling pathways (p38, ERK, JNK) an phosphorylation level, thus cell apoptosis.
