However, our understanding of their bioaccumulation, toxicity, and interaction with other environmental pollutants remains limited. Plastics are classified into three categories: macro-(MAP > 5 mm), micro-(MIP, <5 mm), and nanoplastics (NAP≤ 100 nm). Among these, NAPs have superior sorption capacity, a large surface area, and a greater ability to release co-contaminants into tissues, resulting in more complex and harmful effects compared to MAPs and MIPs. To assess the toxic effects of NAPs, particularly their genotoxicity in fish, we carried out a bibliographic search in PubMed using the search terms \"nanoplastics\" and \"fish,\" which yielded 233 articles. These studies focused on various polymers including polyamide (PA), polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polypropylene (PPP), polystyrene (PS), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). We further refined our search by including fish species such as common carp, fathead minnows, medaka, tilapia, trout, and zebrafish and selected 114 articles for review. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge on the effects of NAPs on fishes, emphasizing their interaction with co-contaminants including metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, antibiotics, plastic additives, and endocrine disruptors found in the aquatic environments. Our findings indicate that among fish species, zebrafish (∼68%) is the most frequently studied, while PS (∼89%) is the most commonly encountered NAP in the aquatic ecosystems. Despite substantial experimental variability, our systematic review highlights that NAPs accumulate in various tissues of fish including the skin, muscle, gill, gut, liver, heart, gonads, and brain across all developmental stages, from embryos to adults. NAP exposure leads to significant adverse effects including increased oxidative stress, decreased locomotor and foraging activities, altered growth, immunity, lipid metabolism, and induced neurotoxicity. Furthermore, NAP exposure modulates estrogen-androgen-thyroid-steroidogenesis (EATS) pathways and shows potential intergenerational effects. Although the USEPA and EU are aware of the global impacts of plastic pollution, the prolonged persistence of plastics continues to pose a significant risk to both aquatic life and human health.</p>","PeriodicalId":73111,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in toxicology","volume":"7 ","pages":"1530209"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12163001/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144303841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it also holds potential for pharmacological and disease-related evaluations. The present study focuses on an AOP for decreased lung function. Lung function is normally robustly maintained by homeostatic capacity, but repeated and chronic stimulation can disrupt this capacity, leading to impaired lung function and mucus hypersecretion. We developed an AOP-based <i>in vitro</i> method to test the disease-related states that can be reproduced by exposing three-dimensionally cultured human bronchial epithelial cells (3D-HBECs) to whole cigarette smoke (WCS). Over a duration of 2 weeks, we repeatedly exposed 3D-HBECs from six different donors to WCS six times to observe both acute phase responses (oxidative stress, epidermal growth factor receptor activation, and SP1 activation) and chronic phase responses (intracellular mucus production, goblet cell metaplasia/hyperplasia, and mucus hypersecretion) along the AOP. Our results demonstrate that although the repeated exposure to WCS induced biological responses along the AOP in all donors, there were interdonor differences, particularly in the timing and amplitudes of the chronic phase responses. All smokers do not exhibit phenotypic changes with the same smoking duration, so this variability likely reflects individual differences. We anticipate that our AOP-based assessment method combined with computational quantitative AOP modeling (discussed in Part 2) will become a valuable tool for assessing the disease risk of airborne materials and inhalable products.</p>","PeriodicalId":73111,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in toxicology","volume":"7 ","pages":"1564857"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12119482/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144180619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
