Polystyrene nanoplastics impair mitochondrial function, quality control, and ER–mitochondria crosstalk in HeLa cells
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers exposed human HeLa cells (grown in the lab) to polystyrene nanoplastics and measured effects on mitochondria, the cell's energy-producing structures. The nanoplastics disrupted mitochondrial energy production, increased oxidative stress markers, and interfered with communication between mitochondria and another cell structure called the endoplasmic reticulum.
Amino-Functionalized Polystyrene Nano-Plastics Induce Mitochondria Damage in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found that amino-functionalized polystyrene nanoplastics can damage mitochondria in human umbilical vein endothelial cells, which line blood vessels. The study suggests that nanoplastics small enough to enter the body through the food chain may pose risks to the cardiovascular system by disrupting cellular energy production and triggering oxidative stress in vascular cells.
Polystyrene nanoplastics target electron transport chain complexes in brain mitochondria
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated the effects of polystyrene nanoplastics on mitochondrial function in rat brain tissue. They found that nanoplastic exposure significantly impaired the electron transport chain, specifically disrupting electron flow between respiratory complexes I-III and II-III in both synaptic and non-synaptic mitochondria. The findings reveal a potential mechanism by which nanoplastics could contribute to brain energy metabolism deficits and neurotoxicity.
Dissection of the potential mechanism of polystyrene microplastic exposure on cardiomyocytes
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated how polystyrene microplastics affect human heart muscle cells at concentrations reflecting estimated daily human intake levels. They found that the microplastics caused oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and disrupted calcium signaling in the cells. The study suggests that microplastic exposure may contribute to cardiovascular risks by directly damaging heart cell function at the cellular level.
Polystyrene microplastics induce nephrotoxicity through impaired mitochondrial homeostasis: An integrated experimental study
AI summary Read the abstract
In an animal study, exposure to polystyrene microplastics built up in the kidneys and caused kidney damage, including harmful oxidative stress, inflammation, and disrupted function of mitochondria, the energy-producing parts of cells. Higher doses caused more buildup and more tissue damage, pointing to the kidney as a key target for microplastic harm.
