Microplastic Size-Dependent Toxicity, Oxidative Stress Induction, and p-JNK and p-p38 Activation in the Monogonont Rotifer (Brachionus koreanus)

TL;DR: In vitro tests revealed that antioxidant-related enzymes and MAPK signaling pathways were significantly activated in response to microplastic exposure in a size-dependent manner, suggesting that 6-μm microbeads are more effectively egested from B. koreanus than 0.05- or 0.5- μm microBeads.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adverse effects of microplastics and oxidative stress-induced MAPK/Nrf2 pathway-mediated defense mechanisms in the marine copepod Paracyclopina nana.

TL;DR: This study provides the first insight into the mode of action in terms of microplastic-induced oxidative stress and related signaling pathways in P. nana, and proposes an adverse outcome pathway for microplastics exposure that covers molecular and individual levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimation of divergence times in cnidarian evolution based on mitochondrial protein-coding genes and the fossil record.

TL;DR: The molecular evidence suggests that cnidarians originated 741 million years ago (Ma) (95% credible region of 686-819), and the major taxa diversified prior to the Cambrian (543 Ma).
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of glutathione S-transferase (GST) genes in the marine copepod Tigriopus japonicus exposed to trace metals.

TL;DR: Findings imply an antioxidant role for GSTS and highlight its importance as a biomarker of exposure to trace metals in T. japonicus, although for some trace metals such as silver the response was not consistent in concentration and time-series exposure experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Environmental stressors (salinity, heavy metals, H2O2) modulate expression of glutathione reductase (GR) gene from the intertidal copepod Tigriopus japonicus.

TL;DR: Slight down-regulation in the expression of Tigriopus GR at the initial stage was observed upon exposure to hydrogen peroxide, and these findings provide a better understanding of cellular protection mechanisms in the intertidal copepod T. japonicus against the environmental stressors caused by non-optimal salt levels.
