Project description:The exposure to nano-plastics affects mammalian neurotoxic hazard characterization remains to be determined. Our aim was to investigate the neurotoxicity of nano-plastics in rodents. Animals were randomly divided into two groups: a control group and 50 mg/kg body weight PS NPs treatment groups. Before treatment, animals were fasted overnight. PS NPs were suspended into waters, vigorously stirred. The PS NPs via oral gavage once per day and for 6 months. The mice were treated with water in control group. We found that exposure to PS NPs caused cognitive decline. PS NPs exposure influenced the prefrontal cortex cells with more pathological alteration with increasing dosage. High-throughput RNA sequencing was conducted to explore miRNA expression in prefrontal cortex. Twenty-nine differentially expressed miRNAs were detected, including 12 upregulated and 17 downregulated miRNAs. This finding provided a reference for further studies on the development mechanisms of ncRNA during cognitive dysfunction.

Project description:Recent studies have identified the pervasive presence of nano- and microplastics (NMP) in atmospheric air, leading to inevitable human exposure. Human skin, with an extensive surface area of 1.5-2 m², is constantly exposed to airborne NMP, yet the dermal implications of such exposure remain elusive. Our investigation employed fragmented polystyrene (fPS), a plastic commonly found in the air, to evaluate dermal penetration using various skin models. We utilized pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (py-GC/MS) to quantify fPS that had penetrated the skin model. Furthermore, we examined the biological alterations in skin keratinocytes consequent to fPS exposure and analyzed the regulation of inflammatory response markers. Our findings reveal deleterious effects on skin keratinocytes, underlining the potential risks posed by short-term fPS exposure. This multifaceted skin model study offers new perspectives on the toxicological impacts of NMP.

Project description:Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is driven by contact, fomite, and airborne transmission. The relative contribution of different transmission routes remains subject to debate. Here, we show Syrian hamsters are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection through intranasal, aerosol and fomite exposure. Different routes of exposure present with distinct disease manifestations. Intranasal and aerosol inoculation causes severe respiratory pathology, higher virus loads and increased weight loss. In contrast, fomite exposure leads to milder disease manifestation characterized by an anti-inflammatory immune state and delayed shedding pattern. Whereas the overall magnitude of respiratory virus shedding is not linked to disease severity, the onset of shedding is. Early shedding is linked to an increase in disease severity. Airborne transmission is more efficient than fomite transmission and dependent on the direction of the airflow. Carefully characterized SARS-CoV-2 transmission models will be crucial to assess potential changes in transmission and pathogenic potential in the light of the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 evolution

Project description:Plastics are one of the most preoccupying emerging pollutants. Macroplastics released in the environment degrade into microplastics and nanoplastics. Because of their small size, these micro and nano plastic particles can enter the food chain and, in addition to their ecotoxicological effects, contaminate humans with still unknown biological effects. Plastics being particulate pollutants, they are handled in the human body by scavenger cells such as macrophages, which are important players in the immune system. In order to get a better appraisal of the effects of plastic particles on macrophages, we have studied the effects of unmodified polystyrene particles of 0.1, 1 and 10 micrometers of diameter, by a combination of proteomics and targeted approaches. Proteomics showed important adaptive changes of the proteome in response to exposure to plastics, with more than one third of the detected proteins showing a significance change in their abundance in response to cell exposure to at least one plastic beads size. These changes affected for example mitochondrial, lysosomal or cytoskeletal proteins. Although an increase in the mitochondrial transmembrane potential was detected in response to 10 micrometer beads, no alteration in cell viability was observed. Similarly, no lysosomal dysfunction and no alteration in the phagocytic capability of the cells was observed in response to exposure to plastic. When the inflammatory response was examined, no increase in the secretion of tumor necrosis factor or interleukin 6 was observed. Oppositely, the secretion of these cytokines in response to lipopolysaccharide was observed after exposure to plastic, which suggested a decreased ability of macrophages to respond to bacterial infection. In conclusion, these results provide a better understanding of the responses of macrophages to exposure to polystyrene particles of different sizes.

Project description:Mental disorders are caused by genetic and environmental factors. We here show that deficiency of an isoform of dopamine D2 receptor (D2R), D2LR, causes psychosocial stress vulnerability in mouse. This occurs through dysfunction of type 1A serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) receptor (5-HT1AR) on serotonergic neurons in the mouse brain. Exposure to forced swim stress significantly increased anxiety- and depressive-like behaviors in D2LR knockout (D2LR-KO) male mice as compared with wild-type mice. Treatment with 8-OH-DPAT, a 5-HT1AR agonist, failed to alleviate the stress-induced behaviors in D2LR-KO mice. In forced swim-stressed D2LR-KO mice, 5-HT release in the medial prefrontal cortex was elevated and the expression of genes related to 5-HT levels was up-regulated by the transcription factor PET1 in the dorsal raphe nucleus. Notably, D2LR formed a heteromer with 5-HT1AR in serotonergic neurons, thereby suppressing 5-HT1AR–activated G-protein–activated inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK) conductance in D2LR-KO serotonergic neurons. Finally, D2LR overexpression in serotonergic neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus alleviated stress vulnerability observed in D2LR-KO mice. Taken together, we conclude that disruption of the negative feedback regulation by the D2LR/5-HT1A heteromer causes stress vulnerability.
