Apoptosis, MAPK signaling pathway affected in tilapia liver following nano-microplastics and sulfamethoxazole acute co-exposure

AI summary · Read the abstract

Researchers exposed juvenile tilapia to nano-microplastics combined with the antibiotic sulfamethoxazole and found significant liver damage, including disrupted enzyme activity and inflammatory responses. The combination triggered cell death pathways and stress signaling in liver tissue more severely than either contaminant alone. The study suggests that microplastics may amplify the harmful effects of pharmaceutical pollutants in aquatic environments.

Enhanced hepatotoxicity in zebrafish due to co-exposure of microplastics and sulfamethoxazole: Insights into ROS-mediated MAPK signaling pathway regulation

AI summary · Read the abstract

Zebrafish exposed to both microplastics and the antibiotic sulfamethoxazole (commonly found in waterways) suffered significantly worse liver damage than exposure to either pollutant alone. The combined exposure triggered a cascade of oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell death in liver tissue, showing how microplastics can amplify the harmful effects of other environmental contaminants.

AI summary · Read the abstract

This research reviewed clinical evidence on the health impacts of microplastic exposure in humans, synthesizing findings from biomonitoring studies, epidemiological investigations, and in vitro toxicology. The review identifies associations between microplastic body burden and inflammatory outcomes, while noting significant gaps in long-term exposure studies.
