However, there is still huge knowledge gap in the effects of MPs on gut microbiota of organisms. This review mainly summarized comprehensively the response mechanism of gut microbiota of three typical organisms, including aquatic animal (fish), rodent (mouse), and soil animal (earthworm) after MPs entering their gastrointestinal tract. MPs pose substantial health risks to organisms, supported by increasing evidence from animal and human studies. MPs can impair the digestive systems of fish, mice, and earthworms, leading to reduce appetite, slow growth, and diminish reproductive capacity. Additionally, MPs can damage the intestinal mucosal barrier, further compromising health. MPs can increase the absorption of fat, and the lipase on the surface of lipid coated MPs can digest triglyceride, which maybe a potential mechanism leading to changes in fat metabolism. Meanwhile, this review also briefly elaborated a key step and important model for evaluating MPs using gut microbiota as the target organ. Ultimately, this review summarized the limitations in gut microbiota studies of MPs and their future development directions to better comprehend the effects of MPs on the animals and human gut microbiota.</p>","PeriodicalId":303,"journal":{"name":"Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety","volume":"302 ","pages":"118748"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144726264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Post-treated PW did not induce AhR activation, highlighting the need for post-treatment following thermal distillation to mitigate residual xenobiotic organic compounds.

As most prior studies used high short-term doses, this study focused on the effects of daily consumption of low environmentally relevant concentrations of DEHP and DBP on female rat physiology, reproduction, embryotoxicity and cyto-genotoxicity. Behavioural observations were included as an exploratory component to assess potential effects. Rats were given environmentally relevant phthalates with food for two months in three groups (200 µg/kg of DEHP, 100 µg/kg of DBP and a mix of both) and two groups for positive control (1000 µg/kg of DEHP and 500 µg/kg of DBP). The negative control group did not receive phthalates. Standard behavioural tests were conducted twice, general blood tests were carried out, and the rats were mated. On the 21st day of gestation, the pregnant rats were euthanised, bone marrow samples were taken for the micronucleus assay, and embryo viability and congenital anomalies were recorded. No significant behavioural or physiological changes were observed in adult rats. However, phthalates increased micronuclei in polychromatic erythrocytes and reduced the PCE/NCE ratio, indicating cyto-genotoxic effects. Long-term exposure to DEHP and DBP at environmentally relevant concentrations induced embryotoxic effects: embryo viability was compromised, with resorptions and morphological abnormalities.

In terms of Pb forms, the proportion of highly toxic Pb was greater in Ped than in Kun, which was attributed mainly to its transport through stems. In terms of the rhizosphere environment, the rhizobacteria of Ped contributed to only higher Aci-Pb ratios, and the rhizobacteria of Kun led to an increase in the overall amount of Pb available for uptake by the plant. Overall, Kun was more tolerant to Pb in Pb-contaminated soil than Ped was. Kun tolerated Pb stress in the following four main ways: 1) limiting Pb to underground parts, 2) increasing physiological tolerance, 3) blocking Pb outside the cell wall, and 4) decreasing Pb toxicity.

Concerns about its potential health impacts have grown. However, the effects of BPS exposure on colonic physiology and its underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly characterized. This study aimed to elucidate the effects of BPS exposure on gut health in female mice, focusing on investigate the role of colon microbiome and metabolome involved in these effects. The effects of BPS exposure on female mice were evaluated via oral gavage administration at doses of 0.05 mg/kg/day and 5 mg/kg/day for four weeks. Fecal samples and colon tissue collected from BPS exposure and control group were subjected to 16S rRNA gene sequencing and GC-MS based metabolomic analysis. Our results show that BPS exposure caused typical colonic damage, including shortened colon length, inflammatory responses, and weakened gut barrier function. Significant alterations were observed in gut microbiota composition, showing imbalances between harmful and beneficial bacteria, with a significant decrease in genera such as Paraprevotella, Ruminococcaceae NK4A214 group, Ruminiclostridium 6, and an increase in Escherichia, Helicobacter, Parasutterella, Erysipelatoclostridium, and Achromobacter. Moreover, metabolic pathways associated with colonic inflammation, including tryptophan metabolism, glutamate metabolism, and fatty acid metabolism, were significantly altered. Our findings demonstrate that BPS exposure compromises colonic homeostasis, induces dysbiosis of the gut microbiota, and disrupts colonic metabolic activity. These findings may provide critical molecular insights regarding disruption of gut integrity as a potential new pathway for mitigating human health risks associated with bisphenol S exposure.</p>","PeriodicalId":303,"journal":{"name":"Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety","volume":"302 ","pages":"118747"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144717115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
