This study aimed to establish a polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) exposure model in pregnant rats and to investigate the subsequent effects on the growth, hormonal profiles, steroidogenic enzyme expression, and testicular histology of male offspring from birth to adulthood. Pregnant rats were administered PS-MPs at doses of 1 mg/kg/day (MPs-L) and 10 mg/kg/day (MPs-H) during gestational days 10-20. Results indicated that birth weights in the MPs-L and MPs-H groups decreased to 88.7% and 85.3% of controls, respectively, with persistent intrauterine growth restriction and no catch-up growth observed. Testicular morphology analysis revealed significant reductions in testicular area and diameter in neonatal rats, alongside adult testicular index decline and altered sperm parameters. Hormonal assessments showed concentration-dependent decreases in serum testosterone levels during neonatal and adult stages, coupled with reduced luteinizing hormone levels in adults, indicating a non-classical \"low testosterone-low luteinizing hormone\" phenotype. Molecular evaluations demonstrated selective suppression of key steroidogenic genes (Star and 3β-Hsd) in neonatal and adult testicular tissues, while Leydig cell counts were significantly diminished. In conclusion, prenatal exposure to MPs had long-lasting repercussions on Leydig cell functionality and the spermatogenic environment, leading to dual structural and endocrine impairments that may have critical implications for male reproductive health. Future studies should further explore the mechanisms underpinning these effects and potential interventions.</p>","PeriodicalId":23171,"journal":{"name":"Toxicology and Industrial Health","volume":" ","pages":"7482337261500552"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149216795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 22 studies were included in the systematic review; among them, 10 provided sufficient data for meta-analysis. FA exposure was significantly associated with changes in blood parameters, including white blood cells (standardized mean difference [SMD] = -1.450 ± 0.636), T cytotoxic cells (SMD = 2.813 ± 1.013), and natural killer (NK) cells (SMD = 1.911 ± 0.775). None of the other blood parameters were significantly affected. However, because of inconsistencies and limitations in exposure assessment methods across the reviewed studies, a clear dose-response relationship could not be established. Overall, changes in some blood parameters were possibly a response to the sensory irritation of FA in the upper respiratory tract. Based on the available scientific evidence, inhaled FA is not distributed beyond portal-of-entry to distal tissues or organs. It is recommended that the exposure of workers to FA be evaluated in a more comprehensive way by following well-validated FA sampling and analysis methods in future studies to better elucidate the association between FA exposure and hematotoxicity.

We then introduced the molecular mechanisms by which silica particles induce CDK/CDKI dysregulation in AMs, including their molecular forms, distribution, degradation, and the signaling pathways involved. Subsequently, we reviewed how CDK/CDKI dysregulation affects pulmonary fibrosis by reprogramming macrophage fate, encompassing pyroptosis, apoptosis, ferroptosis, and polarization.

The study comprised a 30-day pre-treatment period followed by 7- and 14-days experimental periods (EP) of treatments (T). Rats were divided into four groups: Group I received de-ionized water (DW) daily via both intranasal and oral routes throughout the pre-treatment and T.

Human health risk assessment was performed by calculating the estimated daily intake (EDI), hazard quotient (HQ), hazard index (HI), and target cancer risk (TCR) to evaluate potential non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks associated with vegetable consumption, while transfer factor (TF) analysis assessed soil-to-plant metal translocation into the food chain. Further, cytotoxic effects were evaluated using the MTT assay using HDF cells. Results showed that among the analyzed metals, iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) were detected at the highest concentrations in green leafy vegetables, whereas cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) occurred at comparatively lower levels. Health risk assessment revealed elevated HQ/HI values. SHM3, SHM6, SHM12, and SHM14 exhibited below 1, indicating potential non-carcinogenic health concerns, while SHM2 and SHM12 exhibited comparatively higher values, indicating possible long-term carcinogenic risk associated with chronic exposure to heavy metals.
