Nanoplastics, a type of emerging pollutant, pose significant safety concerns as they are widely used and continuously released into the environment, which results in potential risks to humans and the environment. Recent studies have shown that exposure to polystyrene nanoparticles disrupts circadian rhythms and reduces stress resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans. This study further explores the relationship between circadian rhythm disruption, endocytosis, and autophagy under nanoparticle exposure, revealing that disrupted circadian rhythm impairs stress resistance through endocytosis and autophagy impairment.
Nanoplastics (NPs), an emerging pollutant, have raised great safety concerns due to their widespread applications and continuous release into the environment, which lead to potential human and environmental risks. Recently, polystyrene NPs (100 nm; 100 mg/L) exposure has been reported to disrupt circadian rhythms under five days temperature entrainment and be associated with stress resistance decline in Caenorhabditis elegans. This study explored the possible relationship between circadian rhythm disruption and endocytosis and autophagy under polystyrene NPs exposure in C. elegans. We show that the disrupted circadian rhythm induced by NPs exposure reduced stress resistance via endocytosis and autophagy impairment. Furthermore, we found that most NPs taken up by intestinal cells were localized to early endosomes, late endosomes, and lysosomes and delivered to autophagosomes. In addition, the disruption of circadian rhythm inhibited NPs localization to these organelles. These findings indicate that NPs exposure disrupts circadian rhythm and alters its subcellular trafficking, leading to enhanced toxicity in C. elegans. Our results shed light on the prominent role of NPs exposure in circadian rhythm disruption associated with endocytosis and autophagy impairments, which may be conserved in higher animals such as humans.
