Microplastics (MPs) accumulating in freshwater sediment have raised concerns about potential risks to benthic dwelling organisms, yet few studies have examined the long-term impacts caused by MP exposure. This study investigated alterations to lipid profiles in an Australian freshwater invertebrate, Chironomus tepperi, induced by polyethylene MP fragments (1-45 μm) at environmentally relevant concentrations (125, 250, 500 and 1000 MPs/kg sediment), using a two-generational experimental design. In the parental generation, the relative abundance of triacylglycerols, total fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids exhibited apparent hormetic patterns, with low-concentration stimulation and high-concentration inhibition observed. The overall trend in these lipid classes is consistent with previously observed changes to polar metabolite profiles, indicating that ingestion of MPs could inhibit nutrient assimilation from food leading to disruption of energy availability. In the first filial generation continuously exposed to MPs, however, abundance of cholesterol and total fatty acids increased with increasing exposure concentrations, suggesting different effects on energy metabolism between the parental generation and offspring. No differences in the lipidome were observed in first filial larvae that were not exposed, implying that MPs pose negligible carry-over effects. Overall, the combined results of this study together with a preceding metabolomics study provide evidence of a physical effect of MPs with subsequent impacts to bioenergetics. Nevertheless, future research is required to explore the potential long-term impacts caused by MPs, and to unravel the impacts of the surfactant control as a potential contributor to the observed hormetic response, particularly for studies exploring sub-lethal effects of MP exposure using sensitive omics techniques.
