Transcriptomic profiling reveals differential cellular response of copper oxide nanoparticles and polystyrene nanoplastics in perfused human placenta

Project description:Concerns about the potential risks to human health due nanoparticulate pollution have been emerging. However, the risks to sensitive populations, such as pregnant individuals and their unborn children are poorly characterised. With increasing evidence of environmental particles passing the placenta, their potential adverse effects of on pregnancy and fetal development need to be assessed. Here, we investigated the impact of copper oxide (CuO) and polystyrene (PS) nanoparticle exposure on gene expression in ex vivo perfused human placental tissue.

Oral ingestion of polystyrene nanoplastics causes memory impairment and neuroinflammation by microglial uptake

Project description:Nanoplastics are produced by breakdown of plastics in environmental contamination or commercial use for cosmetics or daily expenses. Emerging evidence indicate that ingested nanoplastics with a size smaller than 100 nm have the potential to reach the brain and induces neurotoxicity. However, the potential toxicity of nanoplastics on brain are limited because of difficulties in synthesize of nanoplastics. In present study, we synthesized the fluorescent polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs) and examined the toxicity of PSNPs in brain in vivo and in vitro analyses by comparison to IR-813 fluorophore. Synthesized PSNPs were characterized by fluorescence imaging system, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. PSNPs were detected in adult mice brain by oral ingestion. In addition, a series of behavioral analyses showed that oral ingestion of PSNPs induced memory impairments. Among brain cells, PSNPs were predominantly internalized in microglia, and uptake of PSNPs induced microglial activation. In addition, the conditioned medium derived from microglia exposed to PSNPs repressed hippocampal neuronal activity. Furthermore, transcriptome analysis showed that PSNPs changed gene expressions in microglia, elevation of neuroinflammation in contrast to suppression of neurotrophic factors. These results indicated that predominant uptake of PSNPs in microglia induced elevation of neuroninflammatory responses whereas suppression of neurotrophic factors that may contribute to the cognitive impairment. Our findings indicate the toxic mechanism and potential detrimental effect of nanoplastic in brain and suggest a potential risk of cognitive impairment by exposure to nanoplastics.

Protein corona formation on nanoplastics: polystyrene and PVC

Project description:In this study, the proteins forming the protein corona on PS and PVC were investigated after 5 min, 1 h, 6 h, or 24 h incubation of the nanoplastics with human plasma. TMT-based untargeted proteomics were applied to identify the proteins forming the protein corona.

Short-term polystyrene nanoplastic exposure alters zebrafish male and female germline and reproductive outcomes, unveiling pollutant-impacted molecular pathways

Project description:Nanoplastics pollution is a rising environmental concern whose impacts on biodiversity and human health are far from being understood. This is particularly salient in aquatic ecosystems, where the majority of species depend on external fertilization for reproduction. Here we evaluated the effects of a short-term exposure to engineered polystyrene nanoplastics (NPs) in the zebrafish germ line to further explore their impact on reproduction. To this end, zebrafish (Danio rerio) were exposed to 5 mg/L of 45 nm polystyrene (PS)-NPs via water for 96h. We show that, in males, nanoplastics induced testicular histological alterations with abnormal sperm clustering and chromatin compaction, resulting in viable spermatozoa but with reduced motility. Moreover, in females we observed an alteration in oocyte stages frequencies during oogenesis, possibly reflecting alterations in oocyte growth. RNA-sequencing analysis in male testis links nanoplastic induced alterations in the expression of genes involved in chromatin structure, meiosis and DNA double-strand break formation and repair progression, and gametes recognition. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that the observed effects in males were directly due to nanoplastics penetrating the testicular barrier and being internalized within germline cells. Overall, our results demonstrate that acute exposure to NPs can compromise reproductive fitness, underscoring the environmental and health impacts of NPs pollution.

Polystyrene nanoplastics subchronic exposure impairs placental development through STAM2-mediated imbalance of trophoblastic calcium homeostasis

Project description:Nanoplastics, as an emerging persistent pollutant of global concern in recent years, have posed a potential threat to human health. However, there is little known about the adverse effects of nanoplastics on the female reproductive system. Here, polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) with a diameter of 50 nm were selected as representative nanosized plastic particles to investigate the potential effects of subchronic exposure on placenta development in mice.

Plasma Protein Corona on Polystyrene Nanoparticles Facilitates their Transfer across the Human Placenta

Project description:Nanoparticles exposed to biological fluids are rapidly surrounded by proteins. It is known that this formed protein corona influences the interplay of nanoparticles with cells or tissue barriers. In this study, we report the impact of a formed human plasma protein corona on the transfer of 80 nm polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles across the human placenta. We used the human ex-vivo placental perfusion model, as it reflects the intact and physiological tissue barrier between mother and unborn. Our results show an enhanced transfer of polystyrenes, exposed to human plasma, across the placenta compared to bovine serum albumin which served as control setting. We isolated nanoparticles before and after tissue exposure and analyzed their protein corona via shotgun proteomics and LC-MS/MS. The corona profile of particles that crossed the placenta highlighted several proteins as possible drivers for elevated tissue transfer. Subsequently two distinct proteins, human albumin and immunoglobulin G, were selected and incubated with the nanoparticles to form a sole protein corona. Strikingly, the protein corona formed by albumin induced significantly the transfer of polystyrenes across the tissue as compared to corona formed by immunoglobulins. To conclude, our study provides a comparative analysis between different formed protein coronas on nanoparticles and a corona dependent transfer behavior of polystyrenes across placental tissue. Our findings suggest that protein corona analyses of nanoparticles might help to understand better their properties at biological barriers.

Copper oxide nanoparticles treated C57 mice

Project description:The C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into three groups: control group (n=3), CuO NPs group (n=3), and CuO NPs + TTM group (n=3). A suspension of 2 mg/mL CuO NPs in 100 μl sterile saline was directly once administered by intratracheal instillation in CuO NPs treatment group. Mice in control group received 100 μl sterile saline. In the CuO NPs + TTM intervention group, 0.02 mg/mL TTM was added to the daily drinking water. All mice were sacrificed on day 7. Total RNA of the mouse lung tissues were extracted using tissue RNA isolation kit. All samples were sent to Majorbio Biotech (Shanghai, China) for transcriptome sequencing.
