Abstract

● We integrate omics data to analyze the aquatic toxicodynamics of nanoplastics.

● Transcriptomics is the primary omics tool in aquatic nanoplastic toxicology research.

● Metabolic disruption, oxidative stress, & photosynthesis inhibition are key effects.

● Variations in molecular responses to nanoplastics are underscored among species.

● Recommendations are made to advance the multi-omics approach in nanoplastic research.

Amidst increasing concerns about plastic pollution’s impacts on ecology and health, nanoplastics are gaining global recognition as emerging environmental hazards. This review aimed to examine the complex molecular consequences and underlying fundamental toxicity mechanisms reported from the exposure of diverse aquatic organisms to nanoplastics. Through the comprehensive examination of transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics studies, we explored the intricate toxicodynamics of nanoplastics in aquatic species. The review raised essential questions about the consistency of findings across different omics approaches, the value of combining these omics tools to understand better and predict ecotoxicity, and the potential differences in molecular responses between species. By amalgamating insights from 37 omics studies (transcriptome 22, proteome six, and metabolome nine) published from 2013 to 2023, the review uncovered both shared and distinct toxic effects and mechanisms in which nanoplastics can affect aquatic life, and recommendations were provided for advancing omics-based research on nanoplastic pollution. This comprehensive review illuminates the nuanced connections between nanoplastic exposure and aquatic ecosystems, offering crucial insights into the complex mechanisms that may drive toxicity in aquatic environments.

Fig.1  Integrated multi-omics analysis of nanoplastic toxicity in different aquatic species. (A) Different omics studies on different aquatic species were analyzed for toxicity and mechanisms. A study gap was identified for important aquatic species such as aquatic mammals and coral reefs (question marks were labeled below each species). (B) Summary of the number of studies for each omics category. (C) Summarizes the most common toxicity mechanisms in different aquatic species. The studied species included both marine and freshwater origin (D), and fish were the most studied species among aquatic species (E).
Fig.2  Transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic responses to aquatic nanoplastic exposure. Analysis of the transcriptome response of different aquatic species showed that oxidative stress, energy disruption, and metabolism disruption are the common toxicity mechanisms of nanoplastics. Dysregulated pathways span several cellular levels from DNA & RNA level (DNA transcription, translation, homologous recombination, DNA synthesis and repair, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis induction) to the cytoplasmic level of metabolic disruption of different cellular molecules (lipid, amino acid, purine and proline, carbon, etc.), to altered cellular signaling pathways such as MAPK signaling and cancer-related pathways up to system development level (defects in nervous, cardiac and reproductive systems). The proteomic response of different aquatic species to nanoplastics showed that oxidative stress, inhibition of photosynthesis, and metabolism dysregulation are the common toxicity mechanisms of nanoplastics. Dysregulated pathways involve genetic material defects, disruption of the metabolism of protein, carbohydrates, and lipids, and disruption of the ABC transporter system. Disrupted pathways are shown for representative species based on their proteomic analysis. The metabolomic response of different aquatic species showed that oxidative stress is a common phenomenon leading to tissue inflammation in adult zebrafish, algae, and microalgae. On the other hand, zebrafish larvae’ metabolome was disrupted in pathways related to cancer development upon nanoplastic exposure. Dysregulated pathways involve metabolism disruption of lipids, fatty acids, amino acids, purine-pyrimidine, and the TCA cycle.
Fig.3  Nanoplastic’s toxicity and mechanisms in zebrafish. Analysis of the transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic response of zebrafish showed that oxidative stress, tissue inflammation, metabolic disruption of several cellular molecules, altered bile acid synthesis, and ABC transporter activity are common mechanisms in adult zebrafish exposed to nanoplastics. On the other hand, zebrafish larvae exposed to nanoplastic via different routes (e.g., injection and aqueous exposure) experience oxidative stress, lipid metabolism disruption and altered immune complement pathway, and defects in embryo development, cardiac, nervous, and reproductive development.
Fig.4  Omics technologies and perspectives in nanoplastic research. Analysis of nanoplastic toxicity mechanisms at the transcriptome (Illumina sequencing technology), proteome (HPLC coupled with tandem mass spectrometry and library identification), and metabolome level (HPLC or GC coupled with tandem mass spectrometry and library identification) can provide significant information on nanoplastic toxicity. Yet, there is a gap in integrating and linking the findings of all omics data into integrative connected findings. The application of advanced omics technology (spatial transcript, proteomics, and metabolomics) alongside artificial intelligence (AI) may enhance the detection of novel toxicity pathways and specific markers from the transcriptome to the metabolome level.
