Integrative Analysis of Pharmacology and Transcriptomics Predicts Resveratrol Will Ameliorate Microplastics-Induced Lung Damage by Targeting Ccl2 and Esr1

Toxics 2024 2 citations

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers used pharmacology network analysis and transcriptomics to predict that resveratrol may help mitigate lung damage caused by microplastic exposure. They identified two key molecular targets, Ccl2 and Esr1, through which resveratrol could exert protective effects. The study offers a new perspective on potential approaches to addressing microplastic-induced lung injury, though further experimental validation is needed.

Resveratrol in Microplastic‐ and Nanoplastic‐Induced Toxicity: Current Evidence, Mechanistic Insights, and Future Directions

AI summary Read the abstract

This review paper summarizes existing research on how tiny plastic particles called microplastics and nanoplastics may harm cells, and how resveratrol, a plant compound found in grapes and berries, might affect related cell signaling pathways. The authors note that this evidence comes only from a small number of lab studies in animals or cells, with no human studies, so the proposed effects remain unconfirmed.

Assessing the toxicological effects of exposure to environmental pollutants PET-MPs on vascular diseases: insights from network toxicology, molecular docking, molecular dynamics, and experimental validation

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers used network toxicology, molecular docking, and cell experiments to investigate how PET microplastics may contribute to vascular diseases. They identified four core molecular targets and found that PET microplastics induced mitochondrial oxidative stress, increased reactive oxygen species, and promoted vascular smooth muscle cell death. The study provides initial molecular-level evidence that microplastic exposure may be a contributing factor in vascular damage and remodeling.
