摘要： The coexistence of nanoplastics (NPs) and various pollutants in the environment has become a problem that cannot be ignored. In order to identify the microcystin-LR (MCLR) bioaccumulation and the potential impacts on the early growth of F1 zebrafish (Danio rerio) offspring in the presence of polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs), PSNPs and MCLR were used to expose adult zebrafish for 21 days. The exposure groups divided into MCLR (0, 0.9, 4.5 and 22.5 mu g L-1) alone groups and PSNP (100 mu g L-1) and MCLR co-exposure groups. F1 embryos were collected and developed to 120 h post-fertilization (hpf) in clear water. Compared with the exposure to MCLR only, the combined exposure increased the parental transfer of MCLR to the offspring and subsequently exacerbated the growth inhibition of F1 larvae. Further research clarified that combined exposure of PSNPs and MCLR could reduce the levels of thyroxine (T4) and 3, 5, 3' -triiodothyronine (T3) by altering the expression of hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis-related genes, eventually leading to growth inhibition of F1 larvae. Our results also exhibited combined exposure of PSNPs and MCLR could change the transcription of key genes of the GH/IGF axis compared with MCLR single exposure, suggesting the GH/IGF axis was a potential target for the growth inhibition of F1 larvae in PSNPs and MCLR co-exposure groups. The present study highlights the potential risks of coexistence of MCLR and PSNPs on development of fish offspring, and the environmental risks to aquatic ecosystems.
