dc.description.abstractTire rubber microparticles (TRPs) entering aquatic ecosystems through stormwater runoffs is a significant challenge. TRPs are formed by the abrasion of tires with the road surface and include chemical additives that are an additional cause for concern. Currently, information on the molecular effects of TRPs, or especially its additives, in freshwater organisms is scarce. To address this problem, an array covering different cellular processes has been designed for the freshwater midge Chironomus riparius. Fourth-instar larvae were exposed to two concentrations of TRPs (1 mg L 1, 10 mg L 1) and tire rubber leachates (TRLs) (0,0125 %, 5 %) to evaluate the transcriptional activity by Real-Time PCR. To assess acute toxicity, larvae were exposed for 24 h and genes related to the endocrine system, stress response, DNA repair mechanisms, immune system, oxidative stress, and detoxification mechanisms were evaluated. The activity of the enzymes: glutathione S-transferase (GST) and catalase was also examined. The main pathway affected was the stress response showing overexpression of HSPs (HSC70.3, HSC70.4, HSC70.5, HSP60). Moreover, there was a reduction of the GSTd3 and catalase disrupting the antioxidant system. The upregulation of InR indicates a potential disturbance in the insulin pathway and ABCB6 activation only in TRPs exposure suggests its potential implication in their transport. However, most of these alterations are caused by TRLs, showing higher toxicity than TRPs. The results obtained in this work provide the first approach at the molecular and cellular levels to elucidate the impact of TRLs in freshwater organisms. To perform a realistic evaluation of the TR effects, additional research is required to assess the TR’s long-term effects at the molecular level.en
