Gene transcription levels in Acartia tonsa exposed to different size and composition nanoplastics with or without microalgae
AI summary Read the abstract
This record is a dataset, not a full study report. It contains raw gene activity data from a study examining how a marine copepod (Acartia tonsa) responded to nanoplastics of different sizes and chemical types, tested with and without microalgae present.

Gene Transcription Levels in Acartia tonsa Exposed to Waterborne or Foodborne Nanoplastics of Different Size and Composition
AI summary Read the abstract
Scientists exposed marine copepods (tiny crustaceans) to nanoplastics of different sizes and plastic types, through water or food, using metal-tagged particles to track them. Plastic was found in the copepods' waste, and plastics tagged with palladium or gold affected stress-related gene activity, while untreated polystyrene particles did not.
Regulation of target genes transcription in copepods Acartia tonsa waterborne or foodborne exposed to naked or metal-doped nanoplastics of different sizes and polymer composition
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers exposed the marine copepod Acartia tonsa to nanoplastics via waterborne and foodborne routes and measured transcriptional responses in target genes. Exposure route influenced gene expression patterns, with foodborne exposure producing distinct molecular responses compared to direct waterborne contact.
Regulation of target genes transcription in copepods Acartia tonsa waterborne or foodborne exposed to naked or metal-doped nanoplastics of different sizes and polymer composition
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers studied how waterborne versus foodborne exposure to metal-doped nanoplastics affects gene expression in the copepod Acartia tonsa, using ICP-MS to track particle fate. The study found route-specific transcriptional responses, indicating that nanoplastics interact differently with organisms depending on how they are encountered.
Distinguish the toxic differentiations between acute exposure of micro- and nano-plastics on bivalves: An integrated study based on transcriptomic sequencing
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found that nanoplastics are more toxic than microplastics in mussels, causing severe inflammatory responses and greater oxidative stress, with transcriptomic analysis revealing contrasting gene expression patterns between the two particle sizes.
Decoding the molecular concerto: Toxicotranscriptomic evaluation of microplastic and nanoplastic impacts on aquatic organisms
AI summary Read the abstract
This review summarizes existing research on how microplastics and nanoplastics affect gene activity in aquatic organisms including fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. The studies show that these tiny particles disrupt genes involved in immune defense, stress response, reproduction, and metabolism. Understanding these molecular-level changes is important because they reveal how microplastics could cause long-term health problems in animals that enter the human food chain.
