Despite extensive research on the toxicological effects of pristine polymers, the impact of microplastics (MPs) from consumer plastics is poorly understood. This study investigated the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of cryo-milled single-use plastic products (fork and cup) on eight cell lines (Caco-2, HEK001, MRC-5, HMEC-1, HepaRG, HMC-3, and T47D) at concentrations from 0.01 to 100 μg/mL. Results showed that 100 μg/mL of MPs did not significantly affect cell viability in Caco-2, HEK001, MRC-5, and T47D. However, HMEC-1 and HMC-3 exhibited decreased viability with 10-100 μg/mL of fork particles, while HMC-3 and HepaRG showed reduced viability with 100 μg/mL of cup particles. Conversely, cup particles increased HMEC-1 proliferation at 0.1-100 μg/mL. Comet assay data indicated that both fork and cup exposure led to elevated DNA fragmentation in HMEC-1 and HMC-3 cells. These findings indicate that MPs from consumer-grade plastics may exhibit cytotoxic and genotoxic effects, with endothelial and microglial cells being particularly susceptible.</p>","PeriodicalId":317,"journal":{"name":"Food and Chemical Toxicology","volume":" ","pages":"115194"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142811493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used 2% w/v Tre and 75 mg/kg/d BDE-209 cotreated mice for 42 days.

Supplementation with Tre rescued sperm head malformation by improving aberrant histone-protamine exchange in BDE-209-exposed mice. However, Tre intake couldn't restore the acrosome biogenesis. In addition, Tre supplementation improved testicular damage induced by BDE-209. BDE-209 blocked autophagic flux with increased P62 and LC3BⅡ/Ⅰ levels.

The balance between autophagy and apoptosis is crucial to kidney protection. Treatment with Berberine, known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in nephrotoxicity models, was studied for its potential to enhance autophagy in Cisp-induced AKI. Treatment with Berberine (Berb) upregulated Klotho gene expression, enhancing autophagy as indicated by elevated protein levels of pS486-AMPK, pS638-ULK1, and Beclin-1, accompanied by a decrease in pS248-mTOR protein expression. Also, Berb mitigated oxidative stress by reducing elevated MDA levels and boosting SOD activity, which in turn suppressed inflammation by down-regulating HMGB1 and RAGE gene expression, as well as reducing pS536-NF-κB and IL-6 protein contents. Additionally, Berb reduced apoptosis by increasing Bcl-2 and decreasing Bax. This coordinated action preserved kidney function, evidenced by reductions in early injury markers (cystatin C, KIM-1, NGAL) and late markers (creatinine, BUN), along with attenuation of histopathological alterations.
