Abstract

The widespread consumption of nanoplastics (NPs) and bisphenol A (BPA) affected the aquatic ecosystem and imposed risks to the safety of aquatic organisms. This study was aimed at assessing the ecotoxicological effects of single and combined exposure to BPA and polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs) on the channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus). A total of 120 channel catfish were separated into four groups with triplicate (each contains 10 fish) and exposed to chlorinated tap water (control group), PSNP single exposure (0.3 mg/L), BPA single exposure (500 μg/L) and PSNPs (0.3 mg/L) + BPA (500 μg/L) co-exposure for 7 days. Our results showed a relatively higher intestinal accumulation of PSNPs in co-exposure group, compared to PSNP single exposure group. Histopathological analysis showed that single exposure to PSNPs and BPA caused breakage of intestinal villi and swelling of hepatocytes in channel catfish, while the co-exposure exacerbated the histopathological damage. In addition, co-exposure significantly increased SOD, CAT activities and MDA contents in the intestine and liver, inducing oxidative stress. In terms of immune function, the activities of ACP and AKP were significantly decreased. The expressions of immune-related genes such as IL-1β, TLR3, TLR5, hepcidin and β-defensin were significantly up-regulated, and the expression of IL-10 was down-regulated. Additionally, the co-exposure significantly altered the composition of the intestinal microbiota, leading to an increase in the Shannon index and a decrease in the Simpson index. In summary, this study revealed that mixture exposure to PSNPs and BPA exacerbated toxic effects on histopathology, oxidative stress, immune function and intestinal microbiota in channel catfish. It emphasized the threat of NPs and BPA to the health of aquatic organisms and human food safety, with a call for effective ways to regulate the consumption of these anthropogenic chemicals.

摘要

纳米塑料(NPs)和双酚 A(BPA)的广泛消费影响了水生生态系统,并对水生生物的安全构成了风险。本研究旨在评估 BPA 和聚苯乙烯纳米塑料(PSNPs)单一和联合暴露对斑点叉尾鮰(Ictalurus punctatus)的生态毒理学影响。总共将 120 条斑点叉尾鮰分为四组,每组有三个重复(每个重复包含 10 条鱼),分别暴露于氯化自来水(对照组)、PSNP 单一暴露(0.3 mg/L)、BPA 单一暴露(500 μg/L)和 PSNPs(0.3 mg/L)+BPA(500 μg/L)共同暴露 7 天。我们的结果表明,与 PSNP 单一暴露组相比,共同暴露组中 PSNP 在肠道中的积累相对较高。组织病理学分析表明,PSNP 和 BPA 单一暴露导致斑点叉尾鮰肠道绒毛断裂和肝细胞肿胀,而共同暴露则加剧了组织病理学损伤。此外,共同暴露显著增加了肠道和肝脏中 SOD、CAT 活性和 MDA 含量,诱导氧化应激。在免疫功能方面,ACP 和 AKP 的活性显著降低。IL-1β、TLR3、TLR5、hepcidin 和β-防御素等免疫相关基因的表达显著上调,IL-10 的表达下调。此外,共同暴露还显著改变了肠道微生物群落的组成,导致 Shannon 指数增加,Simpson 指数降低。总之,本研究表明,PSNPs 和 BPA 的混合物暴露加剧了对斑点叉尾鮰组织病理学、氧化应激、免疫功能和肠道微生物群落的毒性影响。这强调了 NPs 和 BPA 对水生生物和人类食品安全的威胁,并呼吁采取有效措施来规范这些人为化学物质的消费。
