Paternal Microplastic Exposure Alters Sperm Small Noncoding RNAs and Affects Offspring Metabolic Health in Mice
Researchers found that paternal microplastic exposure in mice altered sperm small noncoding RNA profiles and had sex-specific effects on offspring metabolic health, including altered body composition and worsened insulin resistance in female offspring fed a high-fat diet. The study suggests that microplastic exposure may cause intergenerational health effects transmitted through epigenetic changes in sperm.
The mouse model of induced sperm DNA damage caused by polystyrene microplastics exhibited distinct transcriptomic and proteomic features
Researchers established a mouse model of polystyrene microplastic-induced sperm DNA damage by administering 1 mg/kg/day for 60 days, which significantly elevated the sperm DNA fragmentation index, and characterized the transcriptomic and proteomic profiles associated with this reproductive toxicity.
Additional file 1 of Single-cell RNA-seq analysis decodes the kidney microenvironment induced by polystyrene microplastics in mice receiving a high-fat diet
Researchers used single-cell RNA sequencing to decode kidney microenvironmental changes induced by polystyrene microplastics in mice fed a high-fat diet, characterizing mural cell and mesangial cell heterogeneity, DEG profiles, and pathway enrichment in affected renal tissue.
Whole transcriptome characterization of polystyrene microplastic-induced sperm DNA damage mouse spermatocytes model
Researchers used whole transcriptome sequencing to investigate how polystyrene microplastics cause DNA damage in mouse sperm cells. They found that microplastic exposure significantly increased DNA fragmentation and altered the expression of numerous genes involved in immune response and cellular defense pathways. The study suggests that microplastics may harm sperm DNA integrity primarily by disrupting immune-related and oxidative stress pathways.
MicroRNA and Gut Microbiota Alter Intergenerational Effects of Paternal Exposure to Polyethylene Nanoplastics
In a mouse study, when fathers were exposed to polyethylene nanoplastics, their male offspring suffered reproductive damage including lower sperm counts and testicular injury — even though the offspring were never directly exposed. The effects were passed down through changes in small RNA molecules and gut bacteria, suggesting that nanoplastic exposure could affect fertility across generations.
