Abstract:

Microplastics (MPs) exist in the natural environment for a long time,and can endanger human health through respiration and food intake. Microplastics not only have biological toxicity,but also can adsorb various components to form complex pollutants. To explore the adsorption characteristics of microplastics on plasmid DNA and the effect of plasmid transfection mediated by microplastics. In this study,the adsorption of polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) on plasmid DNA (pcDNA 3.1-EGFP) was characterized by agarose gel electrophoresis and transmission electron microscopy. After the microplastics and its plasmid DNA adsorption complex were transfected into human esophageal epithelial cells EC109,RT-qPCR was used to detect the intracellular transcription of eGFP gene and neomycin resistance gene (neoR) derived from plasmid pcDNA 3.1-EGFP in EC109 cells. Moreover,the expression and cell distribution of green fluorescent protein derived from plasmid pcDNA 3.1-EGFP were observed under confocal microscope. The toxic effects of microplastics and their plasmid DNA adsorption observed under confocal microscope. The toxic effects of microplastics and their plasmid DNA adsorption complexes on EC109 cells were examined by microscope and CCK-8 test. The results showed that polystyrene microplastics could effectively adsorb plasmid DNA,and the adsorption effect of polystyrene microplastics on plasmid DNA was negatively correlated with the particle size of microplastics,and positively correlated with the concentration of microplastics. The equilibrium time of microplastics adsorption on plasmid DNA is about 12 hours. Polystyrene microplastics-plasmid DNA complex showed a cluster phenomenon. The effective transcription of eGFP gene and resistance gene (neoR) and the expression of green fluorescent protein were detected in the transfected EC109 cells,and there was no significant change in cell morphology and activity. This study shows that polystyrene microplastics can effectively adsorb plasmid DNA and mediate the transfection of plasmid DNA into eukaryotic cells. © 2023 Science Press. All rights reserved.
