摘要： Microplastics (MPs) pollution is a hot issue of global concern. Polypropylene microplastics (PP-MPs) age quickly in the marine environment and break down into smaller particles because of their relatively low temperature resistance, poor ultraviolet resistance, and poor antioxidant capacity, making them one of the major pollutants in the ocean. We assessed whether long-term exposure to micron-sized PP-MPs influences fish susceptibility to viral diseases. We found that exposure to PP-MPs (1-6 mu m and 10-30 mu m) at concentrations of 500 and 5000 mu g/L resulted in uptake into spleen and kidney tissues of Lateolabrax maculatus. Increased activation of melanomacrophage centers was visible in histopathological sections of spleen from fish exposed to PP-MPs, and greater deterioration was observed in the spleen of fish infected by largemouth bass ulcerative syndrome virus after PP-MPs exposure. Additionally, exposure to PP-MPs led to significant cytotoxicity and a negative impact on the antiviral ability of cells. PP-MPs exposure had inhibitory or toxic effects on the immune system in spotted sea bass, which accelerated virus replication in vivo and decreased the expression of the innate immune-and acquired immune related genes in spleen and kidney tissues, thus increasing fish susceptibility to viral diseases. These results indicate that the long-term presence of micron-sized PP-MPs might impact fish resistance to disease, thereby posing a far-reaching problem for marine organisms.
