微纳米塑料暴露对心血管系统损害机制的研究进展

Advances in mechanisms of damage to cardiovascular system by exposure to micro-nano plastics

  • 摘要: 本综述介绍了微纳塑料颗粒(MNPs)对心血管系统健康的潜在威胁及其多元毒性机制。文章评述了MNPs的环境分布、暴露途径及其对心血管系统的毒性作用,并归纳了MNPs在氧化应激、炎症反应、线粒体损伤、细胞凋亡、焦亡及自噬失调等方面的具体机制。同时,分析了MNPs与其他环境污染物(如重金属、多环芳烃等)的联合毒性效应,包括协同、拮抗及双相作用,并指出MNPs作为微生物和有毒化学品载体的潜在风险。MNPs的广泛存在及其复杂的毒性机制使其成为心血管疾病的重要诱发因素,但目前研究仍存在环境系统研究不均衡、塑料特性研究不全面、长期生物效应了解有限等问题。未来研究应聚焦于MNPs的长期暴露效应、与其他污染物的联合毒性机制,以及不同人群中的差异化影响。建议加速塑料回收技术革新、推广可降解材料使用及优化废物处理流程,以缓解MNPs污染对人类健康的潜在威胁。通过多学科协作与深入研究,结合毒理学、公共卫生政策及环境科学的创新理念,有望为防范和治疗与MNPs相关的心血管疾病提供新的方法和途径。

     

    Abstract: This review described the potential health threats to the cardiovascular system from micro-nano plastics (MNPs) and their multifaceted toxicity mechanisms. The article reviewed the environmental distribution of MNPs, exposure pathways, and their toxic effects on the cardiovascular system, and summarized the specific mechanisms of MNPs involving oxidative stress, inflammatory response, mitochondrial damage, apoptosis, pyroptosis, and autophagy dysregulation. Meanwhile, the combined toxic effects of MNPs with other environmental pollutants (e.g., heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), including synergistic, antagonistic, and dual effects, were analyzed, and the potential risks of MNPs as carriers of microorganisms and toxic chemicals were pointed out. The widespread presence of MNPs and their complex toxicity mechanisms may make them important triggers for cardiovascular diseases, but current research still suffers from unbalanced studies across environmental systems, incomplete understanding of plastic properties, and limited knowledge of long-term biological effects. Future research should focus on the long-term effects of MNPs, the joint toxicity mechanisms with other pollutants, and the differential effects across population subgroups. It is suggested to accelerate plastic recycling technology innovation, promote biodegradable materials, and optimize waste treatment process to mitigate the potential threat of MNPs pollution to human health. Through multidisciplinary collaboration and in-depth research, combining innovative concepts from toxicology, public health policy, and environmental science, it is expected to provide new methods and approaches for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases associated with MNPs.
