Supplementary materials for "Toxicity of different size microplastics exposure to adult zebrafish based on transcriptome analysis"
Summary
This is supplementary data for a study on the size-dependent toxicity of microplastics in adult zebrafish using transcriptome analysis. The supplementary figures and tables support findings that different microplastic sizes produce distinct gene expression changes in fish, which is relevant to understanding size-dependent health effects.

Transcriptome alterations in zebrafish gill after exposure to different sizes of microplastics
Researchers found that microplastic exposure in zebrafish gills caused size-dependent transcriptomic changes, with smaller particles triggering more differentially expressed genes related to immune response, oxidative stress, and apoptosis pathways compared to larger particles.
Acute toxic effects of polyethylene microplastic on adult zebrafish
Researchers exposed adult zebrafish to polyethylene microplastics of various sizes to identify physical effects, behavioral changes, and gene expression impacts. They found that microplastic ingestion varied by particle size and that exposure altered expression of detoxification and reproduction-related genes. The study suggests that microplastic pollution at environmentally relevant concentrations could affect both the health and reproductive capacity of fish.
Transcriptional effects of polyethylene microplastics ingestion in developing zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Researchers exposed developing zebrafish to polyethylene microplastics and used transcriptomic analysis to identify changes in gene expression related to immune function, lipid metabolism, and oxidative stress. The study suggests that even at relatively low concentrations, ingested microplastics can alter key biological pathways during early fish development.
Effects of zebrafish exposure to high-density polyethylene and polystyrene microplastics at molecular and histological levels
This study exposed zebrafish to high-density polyethylene and polystyrene microplastics and used genomic analysis to identify which biological pathways were most affected, finding widespread disruption of immune function, metabolism, and stress response genes. The transcriptomic approach reveals that different plastic types activate distinct molecular stress responses in fish.
Nanoplastics impact the zebrafish (Danio rerio) transcriptome: Associated developmental and neurobehavioral consequences
Researchers exposed developing zebrafish larvae to polystyrene nanoplastics of two sizes and found dose-dependent accumulation in tissues along with swimming hyperactivity, despite no effects on mortality or hatching. Transcriptomic analysis revealed changes in gene expression associated with neurodegeneration and motor dysfunction at both high and low concentrations. The study suggests that nanoplastic exposure during early development can alter brain function and behavior in ways that may reduce organismal fitness.
