PET-Microplastics Trigger Endothelial Glycocalyx Loss via ER Stress and ROS Unleashing IL-1β-Driven SMC Switching and Early Aortic Structural Impairment
2025-09-24
Abstract excerpt
Polyethylene terephthalate microplastics (PET-MPs), a major microplastics component identified in human vasculature, pose emerging environmental health risks. This study systemically profiled MPs in human aortic tissues and investigated the mechanisms underlying PET-MPs-induced aortic injury in vivo and in vitro. Chronic oral exposure of Sprague-Dawley rats to PET-MPs (1.0-100 mg/L) resulted in endothelial glycoca...
