Virgin and photo-degraded microplastics induce the activation of human vascular smooth muscle cells

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(1)

Опубликована: Фев. 4, 2025

Microplastics (MPs) are an emerging environmental issue due to their accumulation in ecosystems and living organisms. Increasing evidence shows that MPs impact vascular function, with recent studies finding atheromas linked cardiovascular events. Since smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) crucial maintaining this study examined how activate VSMCs, leading diseases like atherosclerosis calcification. The used polyethylene (PE) polystyrene (PS), common food packaging, as "virgin" or photo-degraded simulate conditions. VSMC viability, apoptosis, cytotoxicity, inflammation, activation markers were evaluated. PE PS affected induced triggered pathological changes such altered migration proliferation. Key RUNX-2 galectin-3, which regulate pathology, activated, alongside the inflammasome complex. In conclusion, can induce harmful of posing potential health risks through cell damage, phenotypic changes. Understanding these toxic mechanisms may reveal critical pathways for intervention prevention.

Influencing factors of microplastic generation and microplastic contamination in urban freshwater

Heliyon, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 10(9), С. e30021 - e30021

Опубликована: Апрель 25, 2024

This research analyzes data on the microplastic (MP) contamination in environmental systems (atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere) and levels of MPs freshwater cities with different national income. study investigates influencing factors MP generation, i.e., mismanaged plastic waste, untreated wastewater, number registered motor vehicles, stormwater runoff. The statistical correlations between urban four generation are determined by linear regression. results indicate that most abundant aquatic (i.e., pose a serious threat to human food chain. regression analysis shows strong correlation waste microfragment smaller than 300 μm particle size high goodness-of-fit (R
