Polystyrene microplastics induce hepatotoxicity and disrupt lipid metabolism in the liver organoids
Using lab-grown human liver organoids, researchers showed that polystyrene microplastics caused liver cell damage even at concentrations found in the environment. The microplastics disrupted fat metabolism, increased harmful reactive oxygen species, and triggered inflammation in the liver tissue. This study provides early evidence that microplastic exposure could contribute to liver problems like fatty liver disease in humans.
Combined effect of polystyrene microplastics and bisphenol A on the human embryonic stem cells-derived liver organoids: The hepatotoxicity and lipid accumulation
Researchers used human stem cell-derived liver organoids to study the combined toxic effects of polystyrene microplastics and the plasticizer bisphenol A. The study found that co-exposure produced enhanced hepatotoxicity and lipid accumulation compared to individual exposures, with changes in markers related to oxidative stress, inflammation, and energy metabolism in the liver tissue model.
Large polystyrene microplastics results in hepatic lipotoxicity in mice
Researchers found that long-term exposure to large polystyrene microplastics (40-100 micrometers) caused hepatic lipid metabolism disruption and lipotoxicity in mice, demonstrating that even large microplastics that do not accumulate in tissues can still cause significant liver damage.
[The effect and mechanism of exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics on lipid metabolism in mice liver].
Researchers exposed mice to 20 nm polystyrene nanoplastics and investigated the effects on hepatic lipid metabolism using multi-omics approaches. Nanoplastic exposure disrupted lipid metabolic pathways in the liver, causing significant changes in lipid accumulation and related gene expression, suggesting a mechanism by which nanoplastic ingestion may contribute to metabolic disorders.
Hepatic and metabolic outcomes induced by sub-chronic exposure to polystyrene microplastics in mice
Researchers studied the effects of sub-chronic polystyrene microplastic exposure on mouse livers using multiple analytical approaches. They found that microplastics accumulated in liver tissue and caused inflammation, oxidative stress, and disruption of normal metabolic processes including lipid and amino acid metabolism. The study suggests that prolonged microplastic ingestion may pose significant risks to liver health.
