Abstract

Here, we present in-situ plasmon-based detection methods of toxicity biomarkers from microplastic (MPs)treated animals. Via Raman intensity mapping, the uptake of MPs in model animals is visualized without labels. Through RNAi library screening, two biomarkers including reactive oxygen species and transforming growth factor-β are determined for evaluating the toxicity of MPs. In addition, label-free sensitive detections of the toxicity biomarkers are achieved by plasmon resonance energy transfer and surface-enhanced Raman scattering. We believe that our suggested methods for visualizing MP species in organisms and detecting toxicity biomarkers would contribute to understand MP-induced toxicity as well as to develop environmental sensors.
