Abstract
Nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) are utilized in various industries and their release into the environment may lead to the pollution of agricultural areas. However, assessing the toxicity of NiO NPs in major food crops is difficult due to the limited information available on their toxicity. The present investigation was carried out to evaluate how NiO NPs affect plant growth, photosynthetic efficiency, and phytochemical content, as well as changes at the transcriptional level of these phytochemicals in Chinese cabbage seedlings. Chlorophyll, carotenoid, and sugar contents were reduced, while proline and the anthocyanins were significantly upregulated in NiO NPs-treated seedlings. The levels of malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxide, and reactive oxygen species, as well as peroxidase (POD) enzyme activity, were all enhanced in seedlings exposed to NiO NPs. The levels of glucosinolates and phenolic compounds were also significantly increased in NiO NPs-treated seedlings compared to control seedlings. The expression of genes related to oxidative stress (CAT, POD, and GST), MYB transcription factors (BrMYB28, BrMYB29, BrMYB34, and BrMYB51), and phenolic compounds (ANS, PAP1, and PAL) were significantly upregulated. We suggest that NiO NPs application stimulates toxic effects and enhances the levels of phytochemicals (glucosinolates and phenolic compounds) in Chinese cabbage seedlings.

Abstract
Nanomaterial applications are a fast-developing field. In spite of their powerful advantages, many open questions regarding how these small-sized chemicals may influence the environment and human health. However, scarce reports are available on the potential hazards of combined nanoparticles, taken into consideration that nickel oxide (NiO) and cobalt (II, III) oxide (Co3O4) nanoparticles (NPs) are already used together in many applications. Hence, the present work was designed to study the probable changes in some biological, hematological, and serum biochemical variables throughout 2 weeks following an oral administration of 0.5 g and 1.0 g of NiO-NPs or/and Co3O4-NPs per kilogram body weight of rats. As compared with the controls, the exposure to NiO-NPs or Co3O4-NPs solely caused significant elevations in the relative weights of brain (RBW), kidney (RKW) and liver (RLW), water consumption (WC), red blood cells (RBCs) count, hemoglobin (Hb) content, packed cell volume (PCV), and serum levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), glucose, creatinine, urea, and uric acid as well as serum activities of aspartate and alanine aminotransferases (ASAT and ALAT). In addition, remarkable declines in the total body weight (TBW), feed consumption (FC), white blood cells (WBCs) count, serum levels of total protein (TP), albumin, albumin/globulin ratio, total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were caused by administration of NiO-NPs or Co3O4-NPs, separately. On contrary, the co-administration of NiO-NPs and Co3O4-NPs together caused less noticeable changes in most of studied variables as compared with those administered NiO-NPs or Co3O4-NPs, individually. In conclusion, the exposure to a combination of NiO-NPs and Co3O4-NPs suppressed the adverse effects of the individual NPs on the studied variables.

Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles provide the opportunity to localize bioactive agents to the target sites and protect them from degradation. In many cases, acute toxicities of inorganic nanoparticles used for delivery applications have been investigated. However, little information is available regarding the long-term toxicity of such materials. This review focuses on the importance of subchronic and chronic toxicity assessment of inorganic nanoparticles investigated for delivery applications. We have attempted to provide a comprehensive review of the available literature for chronic toxicity assessment of inorganic nanoparticles. Where possible correlations are made between particle composition, physiochemical properties, duration, frequency and route of administration, as well as the sex of animals, with tissue and blood toxicity, immunotoxicity and genotoxicity. A critical gap analysis is provided and important factors that need to be considered for long-term toxicology of inorganic nanoparticles are discussed.

Abstract
The expansion of the industrial use of nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles (NPs) raises concerns about their potential adverse effects. Our work aimed to investigate the mechanisms of toxicity induced by NiO NPs, using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a cell model. Yeast cells exposed to NiO NPs exhibited typical hallmarks of regulated cell death (RCD) by apoptosis [loss of cell proliferation capacity (cell viability), exposure of phosphatidylserine at the outer cytoplasmic membrane leaflet, nuclear chromatin condensation, and DNA damage] in a process that required de novo protein synthesis. The execution of yeast cell death induced by NiO NPs is Yca1p metacaspase-dependent. NiO NPs also induced a decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential and an increase in the frequency of respiratory-deficient mutants, which supports the involvement of mitochondria in the cell death process. Cells deficient in the apoptosis-inducing factor ( aif1Δ) displayed higher tolerance to NiO NPs, which reinforces the involvement of mitochondria in RCD by apoptosis. In summary, this study shows that NiO NPs induce caspase- and mitochondria-dependent apoptosis in yeast. Our results warn about the possible harmful effects associated with the use of NiO NPs.

Abstract
The effects of fretting on Ni-rich ultra-fine grained NiTi superelastic wires have been characterized. Fretting tests have been performed using wire on wire in 90° cross-cylinder configuration until 105 cycles in air at 25 °C. Constant displacement amplitude of 50 µm and normal loads of 10, 20 and 50 N were considered. For a normal load of 10 N, the tribosystem performed in Gross Slip Regime and the predominance of wear damage was observed. Mixed Fretting Regime was instead observed for normal loads of 20 N and 50 N. In these cases, the predominant damage mechanism was crack formation with the cracks oriented normal to the displacement direction. Occurrence of martensitic transformation in the contact region was inferred from the particular shape of the fretting loops. Due to their possible impact on biocompatibility, the debris detached from the tribosystem during the different experiments were collected and characterized by TEM. They consisted in agglomerations of nano-crystalline TiO2 (rutile) and NiO oxide particles sized between 10 and 20 nm.

Abstract
Human overexposure to nickel (Ni) emanating from the increasing application of Ni compounds in modern technology is a major public health concern. Nickel has been shown to be teratogenic, immunotoxic, genotoxic and carcinogenic. The current knowledge on Ni neurotoxicity is still relatively limited. We have previously demonstrated that Ni treatment alters cognitive and locomotor behaviors, induces oxidative stress and neurodegeneration in brains of rats. In this study, we examine the ultrastructural changes to neurons in the hippocampus, striatum and cortex of the brain following Ni treatment, as well as attempt to delineate the roles for caspase-3 and α-synuclein in Ni-induced neurodegeneration. Rats were treated with either saline, 10 or 20 mg/kg of nickel chloride for 4 weeks via oral gavage. Electron microscopy analysis revealed ultrastructural alterations in neurons of the hippocampus, striatum and cortex following Ni treatment. Mitochondria structural integrity within neurons were markedly compromised. We also detected elevated caspase-3 activity in hippocampus and striatum, as well as overexpression of α-synuclein in the cortex following Ni treatment. Our study demonstrates that mitochondria are a key target in Ni-induced neurodegeneration. Additionally, we implicate apoptotic pathway via caspase-3 action as the executioner and perturbation of α-synuclein expression in Ni-induced neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Over the last decade, concerns have been raised regarding the potential health and environmental effects associated with the release of metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) into ecosystems. In the present work, the potential hazards of nickel oxide (NiO) NPs were investigated using the ecologically relevant freshwater alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata. NiO NP suspensions in algal OECD medium were characterized with regard to their physicochemical properties: agglomeration, surface charge, stability (dissolution of the NPs) and abiotic reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. NiO NPs formed loose agglomerates and released Ni2+. NiO NPs presented a 72 h-EC50 of 1.6 mg L-1, which was evaluated using the algal growth inhibition assay and allowed this NP to be classified as toxic. NiO NPs caused the loss of esterase activity (metabolic activity), the bleaching of photosynthetic pigments and the intracellular accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the absence of the disruption of plasma membrane integrity. NiO NPs also disturbed the photosynthetic process. A reduction in the photosynthetic efficiency (ΦPSII) accompanied by a decrease in the flow rate of electrons through the photosynthetic chain was also observed. The leakage of electrons from the photosynthetic chain may be the origin of the ROS found in the algal cells. The exposure to NiO NPs led to the arrest of the cell cycle prior to the first cell division (primary mitosis), an increase in cell volume and the presence of aberrant morphology in the algal cells. In this work, the use of different approaches allowed new clues related to the toxicity mechanisms of NiO NPs to be obtained. This work also contributes to the characterization of the environmental and toxicological hazards of NiO NPs and provides information on the possible adverse effects of these NPs on aquatic systems.

Abstract
Application of nanomaterials in nearly every single branch of industry results in their accumulation in both abiotic environment and tissues of living organisms. Despite the common use of nanomaterials, we are not able to precisely define their toxicity towards humans and surrounding biota. Although we were able to determine final effects of chronic exposure to nanoparticles which consist of many pathologies such as respiratory diseases, allergies, diseases of cardiovascular system, disorders in embryonic life differentiation and growth disorders, toxic effects on the immune system and cancers. The most predominantly investigated feature of most nanoparticles is their ability to induce oxidative stress on cellular level. Imbalance in redox state of cells can lead to various malfunctions in their internal metabolism, which in turn can lead to mentioned pathologies on the organismal level if the exposure is persistent and spread wide enough. Imbalance in redox state translate into production of reactive oxygen species in amounts impossible to be scavenged in given time. Many reactive oxygen species play crucial role in physiological processes in properly functioning cells. It was proven on numerous occasions that abundance of ROS, aside from oxidative damage, can lead to more subtle adverse effects tied to disturbances in intra- and intercellular signaling pathways. In this chapter we would like to address the nanoparticle-induced redox imbalance in cells and its effects.

Abstract
The present work aimed to elucidate whether the toxic effects of nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles (NPs) on the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were associated with oxidative stress (OS) and what mechanisms may have contributed to this OS. Cells exposed to NiO NPs accumulated superoxide anions and hydrogen peroxide, which were intracellularly generated. Yeast cells coexposed to NiO NPs and antioxidants (l-ascorbic acid and N- tert-butyl-α-phenylnitrone) showed quenching of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and increased resistance to NiO NPs, indicating that the loss of cell viability was associated with ROS accumulation. Mutants lacking mitochondrial DNA (ρ0) displayed reduced levels of ROS and increased resistance to NiO NPs, which suggested the involvement of the mitochondrial respiratory chain in ROS production. Yeast cells exposed to NiO NPs presented decreased levels of reduced glutathione (GSH). Mutants deficient in GSH1 ( gsh1Δ) or GSH2 ( gsh2Δ) genes displayed increased levels of ROS and increased sensitivity to NiO NPs, which underline the central role of GSH against NiO NPs-induced OS. This work suggests that the increased levels of intracellular ROS (probably due to the perturbation of the electron transfer chain in mitochondria) combined with the depletion of GSH pool constitute important mechanisms of NiO NPs-induced loss of cell viability in the yeast S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
Nanoparticles, the building blocks of nanotechnology, have been widely utilized in various biomedical applications, such as detection, diagnosis, imaging, and therapy. However, another emerging, albeit under-represented, area is the employment of nanoparticles as tools to understand cellular processes (e.g., oxidative stress-induced signaling cascades). Such investigations have enormous potential to characterize a disease from a different perspective and unravel some new features that otherwise would have remained a mystery. In this review, we summarize the intrinsic biological properties of unmodified as well surface modified nanoparticles and discuss how such properties could be utilized to interrogate biological processes and provide a perspective for future evolution of this field.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) apart from their widespread advantages and increased utilisation, have aroused concerns over their safe use. Nickel (II) oxides (NiO) NPs are used as catalysts, biosensors and in many of the consumer products. The increasing use of NiO NPs necessitates an improved understanding of their potential impact on the environment and human health. In this study, we investigated the acute genotoxic effects of NiO NPs by oral route administration with three different doses (125, 250 and 500 mg/kg bw). Before the in vivo toxicological evaluation, characterisation of particles by Transmission Electron Microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Laser Doppler Velocimetry analysis was performed. Genotoxicity biomarkers such as comet, micronucleus and chromosomal aberrations (CAs) assays were utilised in this study. To document the uptake, retention and elimination of the NPs, biodistribution studies were also performed. The particle size obtained from Transmission Electron Microscopy analysis for NiO NPs was 15.62 ± 2.59 nm. The mean hydrodynamic diameter and PdI of NiO NPs in Milli-Q water suspension obtained by DLS was 168.9 ± 17.13 nm and 0.375, respectively. Comet assay revealed significant (P < 0.001) DNA damage at 500 mg/kg bw dose in the PBL, liver and kidney cells of rats at the 24-h sampling time. The result of micronucleus and CAs tests was in agreement with the comet assay data. Biodistribution of NiO NPs revealed a maximum accumulation of Ni in the liver tissue at the 24-h sampling time. Our study showed significant DNA damage at the high dose level and the effect was more prominent at 24-h sampling time, providing preliminary evidence that the NiO NPs are capable of inducing genotoxicity when administered through the oral route. However, mechanistic investigations are needed before drawing any firm conclusion regarding the toxicology of NiO NPs.

Abstract
Nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) have attracted increasing attention owing to potential capacity to penetrate to several human cell systems and exert a toxic effect. Elsewhere, the use of medicinal plants today is the form of the most widespread medicine worldwide. Utilizing aromatic plants as interesting source of phytochemicals constitute one of the largest scientific concerns. Thus this study was focused to investigate antioxidant and cytoprotective effects of essential oil of a Mediterranean plant P. lentiscus (PLEO) on NiO NPs induced cytotoxicity and oxidative stress in human lung epithelial cells (A549). The obtained results showed that cell viability was reduced by NiO NPs, who's also found to induce oxidative stress in dose-dependent manner indicated by induction of reactive oxygen species and reduction of antioxidant enzymes activities. Our results also demonstrated that PLEO contains high amounts in terpinen-4-ol (11.49%), germacrene D (8.64%), α-pinene (5.97%), sabinene (5.19%), caryophyllene (5.10%) and δ-Cadinene (4.86%). PLEO exhibited a potent antioxidant capacity by cell viability improving, ROS scavenging and enhancing the endogenous antioxidant system against NiO NPs in this model of cells. The present work demonstrated, for the first time, the protective activity of PLEO against cell oxidative damage induced by NiO NPs. It was suggested that this plant essential oil could be use as a cells protector.

Abstract
The increasing use of nanoparticles (NPs) has spurred concerns about their toxic effects. This work aimed to assess the potential hazards of nickel oxide (NiO) NPs using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a cell model. Yeast cells exposed for 6 h to 100 mg/L NiO NPs presented reduced metabolic activity (esterase activity and FUN-1 dye processing) and enhanced accumulation of reactive oxygen species. NiO NPs induced the loss of cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. Study of the dissolution of NiO NPs in aqueous media, together with the toxicological data, suggests that the nickel released by the NPs cannot explain all the toxic effects observed in S. cerevisiae caused by the NPs. Transmission electron microscopy observations revealed that NiO NPs were adsorbed onto cell surface but did not enter into yeast cells. Isogenic mutants (cwp1∆ and cwp2∆) with increased cell wall porosity did not display enhanced susceptibility to NiO NPs compared to the wild type strain. Our results suggest that NiO NPs exert their toxic effect by an indirect mechanism. This work contributes to knowledge of the potential hazards of NiO NPs and to the elucidation of their mechanisms of toxic action.

Abstract
Nanoparticles are widely used as useful industrial materials. Therefore, their possible adverse health effects must be appraised. We assessed and compared the oxidative DNA damage caused by four different nanoparticles (TiO2, NiO, ZnO and CeO2). The effects of the administration methods, intratracheal instillation and inhalation, were also evaluated. Rats were subjected to intratracheal instillations or 4 weeks of inhalation exposure to the nanoparticles, and the 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels in the lung were analyzed by an HPLC-EC detector method. The 8-OHdG levels were increased in a dose-dependent manner with the inhalation of NiO. ZnO also increased the 8-OHdG levels with inhalation. In comparison with the control, the 8-OHdG levels were significantly and persistently higher with the CeO2 nanoparticle administration, by both intratracheal instillation and inhalation. In contrast, there were no significant differences in the 8-OHdG levels between the control and TiO2 nanoparticle-treated groups, with either intratracheal instillation or inhalation during the observation period. These results indicated that NiO, ZnO and CeO2 nanoparticles generate significant amounts of free radicals, and oxidative stress may be responsible for the lung injury caused by these nanoparticles. In addition, both intratracheal instillation and inhalation exposure induced similar tendencies of oxidative DNA damage with these nanoparticles.

Abstract
Indiscriminate uses of engineered nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO-NPs) in heavy industries have ushered their introduction into the natural environment, ensuing novel interactions with biotic components of the ecosystem. Though much is known about the toxicity of NiO-NPs on animals, their phytotoxic potential is not well elucidated. NiO-NP hinders intra-cellular homeostasis by producing ROS in excess, having profound effect on the antioxidant profile of exposed animal and plant tissues. In the present study, bulbs of the model plant Allium cepa were treated with varying concentrations of NiO-NP (10 mg L-1 - 500 mg L-1) to study changes in ROS production and potential genotoxic effect. The data generated proved a concomitant upsurge in intracellular ROS accumulation with NiO-NP dosage that could be correlated with increased genotoxicity in A. cepa. Augmented in situ ROS production was revealed through DCFH-DA assay, with highest increase in fluorescence (70% over control) in bulbs exposed to 125 mg L-1 NiO-NP. Effect of NiO-NP on genomic DNA was studied through detailed analyses of RAPD profiles which allows detection of even slightest changes in DNA sequence of treated plants. Significant differences in band intensity, loss and appearance of bands as well as genomic template stability and band sharing indices of treated plants revealed increased vulnerability of genomic DNA to NiO-NP, at even lowest concentration (10 mg L-1). This is the first report of NiO-NP induced genotoxicity on A. cepa, which confirms the nanoparticle as a potent environmental hazard.

Abstract
Up to now, the precise mechanism of Ni toxicology is still indistinct. Our aim was to test the apoptosis, cell cycle arrest and inflammatory response mechanism induced by NiCl2 in the liver of broiler chickens. NiCl2 significantly increased hepatic apoptosis. NiCl2 activated mitochondria-mediated apoptotic pathway by decreasing Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Mcl-1, and increasing Bax, Bak, caspase-3, caspase-9 and PARP mRNA expression. In the Fas-mediated apoptotic pathway, mRNA expression levels of Fas, FasL, caspase-8 were increased. Also, NiCl2 induced ER stress apoptotic pathway by increasing GRP78 and GRP94 mRNA expressions. The ER stress was activated through PERK, IRE1 and ATF6 pathways, which were characterized by increasing eIF2α, ATF4, IRE1, XBP1 and ATF6 mRNA expressions. And, NiCl2 arrested G2/M phase cell cycle by increasing p53, p21 and decreasing cdc2, cyclin B mRNA expressions. Simultaneously, NiCl2 increased TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 mRNA expressions through NF-κB activation. In conclusion, NiCl2 induces apoptosis through mitochondria, Fas and ER stress-mediated apoptotic pathways and causes cell cycle G2/M phase arrest via p53-dependent pathway and generates inflammatory response by activating NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
Concentration of engineered nickel oxide nanoparticle (NiO-NP) in nature is on the rise, owing to large scale industrial uses, which have accreted the scope of its exposure to plants, the primary producers of the ecosystem. Though an essential micronutrient for the animal system, supported by numerous studies confirming its toxicity at higher dosages, nickel oxide is graded as a human carcinogen by WHO. A few studies do depict toxicity and bioaccumulation of nickel in plants; however, interaction of NiO-NP with plants is not well-elucidated. It is known that exposure to NiO-NP can incite stress response, leading to cytotoxicity and growth retardation in some plants, but a defined work on the intricate physicochemical cellular responses and genotoxic challenges is wanting. The present study was planned to explore cytotoxicity of NiO-NP in the model plant, Allium cepa L., its internalization in the tissue and concomitant furore created in the antioxidant enzyme system of the plant. The prospect of the NiO-NP causing genotoxicity was also investigated. Detailed assessments biochemical profiles and genotoxicity potential of NiO-NP on A. cepa L. was performed and extended to four of its closest economically important relatives, Allium sativum L., Allium schoenoprasum L., Allium porrum L., and Allium fistulosum L. Growing root tips were treated with seven different concentrations of NiO-NP suspension (10-500 mg L-1), with deionised distilled water as negative control and 0.4 mM EMS solution as positive control. Study of genotoxic endpoints, like, mitotic indices (MI), chromosomal aberrations (CAs), and chromosome breaks confirmed NiO-NP induced genotoxicity in plants, even at a very low dose (10 mg L-1). That NiO-NP also perturbs biochemical homeostasis, disrupting normal physiology of the cell, was confirmed through changes in state of lipid peroxidation malonaldehyde (MDA), as well as, in oxidation marker enzymes, like catalase (CAT), super oxide dismutase (SOD), and guiacol peroxidase (POD) activities. It was evident that increase in NiO-NP concentration led to decrease in MIs in all the study materials, concomitant with a spike of stress-alleviating, antioxidant enzymes-CAT, POD, SOD, and significant increase in MDA formation. Hence, it can be confirmed that NiO-NP should be treated as an environmental hazard.

Abstract
The exponential increase in the usage of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) has raised global concerns due to their potential toxicity and environmental impacts. Nano-TiO2 and nano-ZnO have been extensively used in various applications. Thus, there is a need for determining the toxic potentials of ENPs as well as, to develop the possible attenuation method for ENPs toxicity. Both in the in vitro and in vivo systems, exposure to the majority of ENPs have shown Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) generation, which leads to oxidative stress mediated inflammation, genotoxicity, and cytotoxicity. Hence, with the rationale of determining easy and economical protection against ENPs exposure, the amelioration effect of the antioxidants (curcumin and vitamin-C) against the nano-TiO2 and nano-ZnO induced ROS and lethality were investigated in Caenorhabditis elegans. We not only employed pre-treatment and along with treatment approach, but also determined the effect of antioxidants at different time points of treatment. Our study revealed that both the antioxidants efficiently ameliorate nanoparticles induced ROS as well as lethality in worms. Further, the pretreatment approach was more effective than the along with treatment. Therefore, our study indicates the possibility of evading the nanotoxicity by incorporating curcumin and vitamin-C in everyday diet.

Abstract
Increasing use of nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles in different applications results in high occupational and environmental exposure to them. However, the effect of NiO nanoparticles on human health is still poorly documented. It was aimed to investigate the toxic potentials of NiO nanoparticles on NRK-52E kidney epithelial cells. The following assays were used: the nanoparticle characterization by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS); the determination of cellular uptake and morphologic changes by TEM and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS); MTT and neutral red uptake (NRU) assays for cytotoxicity; comet assay for genotoxicity; the determination of malondialdehyde (MDA), 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), protein carbonyl (PC) and glutathione (GSH) levels by enzyme-linked immune sorbent assays (ELISA) for the potential of oxidative damage; and Annexin V-FITC apoptosis detection assay with propidium iodide (PI) for apoptosis. The nanoparticles were taken up by the cells and induced dose-dependent DNA damage by comet assay and oxidative damage evidenced by increasing levels of MDA, 8-OHdG, PC and depletion of GSH. At ≥294.0 μg/mL concentration, NiO nanoparticles caused 50% inhibition in cell viability by the cytotoxicity assays. Also, they showed apoptotic/necrotic effects on the cells as well as some morphological changes. We have indicated that their cellular damage effects should raise concern about the safety associated with their applications in consumer products.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Curcumin is a well-established anticancer agent in vitro but its efficacy is yet to be proven in clinical trials. Poor bioavailability of curcumin is the principal reason behind the lack of efficiency of curcumin in clinical trials. Many studies prove that the bioavailability of curcumin can be improved by administering it through nanoparticle drug carriers. This review focuses on the efforts made in the field of nanotechnology to improve the bioavailability of curcumin. Nanotechnologies of curcumin come in various shapes and sizes. The simplest curcumin nanoparticle that increased the bioavailability of curcumin is the curcumin-metal complex. On the other hand, we have intricate thermoresponsive nanoparticles that can release curcumin upon stimulation (analogous to a remote control). Future research required for developing potent curcumin nanoparticles is also discussed.

Abstract
Nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO-NPs) are used in many industrial sectors including printing inks, ceramics and catalysts, and electrical and electronics industry because of their magnetic and optical properties. However, there has been still a serious lack of information about their toxicity at the cellular and molecular levels on nervous system. For that, we aimed to investigate the in vitro toxic potentials of NiO-NPs in neuronal (SH-SY5Y) cells. The particle characterisation, cellular uptake and morphological changes were determined using Transmission Electron Microscopy, dynamic light scattering and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry. Then, the cytotoxicity was evaluated by MTT and neutral red uptake assays, the genotoxicity by comet assay, the oxidative potentials by the determination of malondialdehyde, 8-hydroxy deoxyguanosine, protein carbonyl, and glutathione levels with Enzyme-Linked Immune Sorbent Assays, and the apoptotic potentials by Annexin V-FITC apoptosis detection assay with propidium iodide. According to the results, it was observed that NiO-NPs (15.0 nm ± 4.2-38.1 nm); (i) were taken up by the cells in concentration dependent manner, (ii) caused 50% inhibition in cell viability at ≥229.34 μg/mL, (iii) induced some morphological changes, (iv) induced dose-dependent DNA damage (3.2-11.0 fold) and apoptosis (80-99%), (v) significantly induced oxidative damage. In conclusion, our results support the hypothesis that NiO-NPs affect human health especially neuronal system negatively and should raise the concern about the safety associated with their applications in consumer products.

ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2016; 31:1344-1356. [PMID: 25846798 DOI: 10.1002/tox.22140] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2015] [Revised: 03/12/2015] [Accepted: 03/18/2015] [Indexed: 06/04/2023]
Abstract
Because of unique optical behavior gold nanorods (GNRs) have attracted attention for the application in biomedical field such as bio-sensing, bio-imaging and hyperthermia. However, toxicological response of GNRs is controversial due to their different surface coating. Therefore, a comprehensive knowledge about toxicological profile of GNRs is necessary before their biomedical applications. First time, we investigated the toxic response of GNRs coated with platinum (GNRs-Pt) in human breast carcinoma (MCF-7) cells. Platinum coating further improves the optical and catalytic properties of GNRs. Assays such as 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide (MTT), neutral red uptake (NRU) and lactate dehydroganase (LDH) assays have shown that GNRs-Pt induced cytotoxicity at very low exposure levels (0.1-0.8 μg mL-1 ). Accumulation of cells in SubG1 phase and low mitochondrial membrane potential (JC-1 probe) in treated cells suggest that GNRs-Pt induced cell death via apoptotic pathway. Quantitative real-time PCR data demonstrated that mRNA expression of apoptotic genes (bax, caspase-3 and caspase-9) were up-regulated while anti-apoptotic gene bcl-2 was down-regulated in cells exposed to GNRs-Pt. We further observed the higher activity of caspase-3 and caspase-9 enzymes in GNRs-Pt treated cells supporting mRNA data. Moreover, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) significantly attenuated the ROS generation and cytotoxicity induced by GNRs-Pt in MCF-7 cells suggesting that ROS might plays a crucial role in GNRs-Pt induced toxicity. This study warns of possible toxicity of GNRs even at very low exposure levels. Further investigations needed to explore potential mechanisms of this low dose toxicity phenomenon. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Environ Toxicol 31: 1344-1356, 2016.

Abstract
The high incidence of breast cancer in developed and developing countries, and its correlation to cancer-related deaths, has prompted concerned scientists to discover novel alternatives to deal with this challenge. In this review, we will provide a brief overview of polyphenol structures and classifications, as well as on the carcinogenic process. The biology of breast cancer cells will also be discussed. The molecular mechanisms involved in the anti-cancer activities of numerous polyphenols, against a wide range of breast cancer cells, in vitro and in vivo, will be explained in detail. The interplay between autophagy and apoptosis in the anti-cancer activity of polyphenols will also be highlighted. In addition, the potential of polyphenols to target cancer stem cells (CSCs) via various mechanisms will be explained. Recently, the use of natural products as chemotherapeutics and chemopreventive drugs to overcome the side effects and resistance that arise from using chemical-based agents has garnered the attention of the scientific community. Polyphenol research is considered a promising field in the treatment and prevention of breast cancer.

Abstract
With recent advances in the manufacture and application of nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiONPs), concerns about their adverse effects on the respiratory system are increasing. However, the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of NiONP-induced pulmonary toxicity remain unclear. In this study, we focused on the impacts of NiONPs on pulmonary inflammation and investigated whether the NLRP3 inflammasome is involved in NiONP-induced pulmonary inflammation and injury. NiONP suspensions were administered by single intratracheal instillation to rats, and inflammatory responses were evaluated at 3 days, 7 days, or 28 days after treatment. NiONP exposure resulted in sustained pulmonary inflammation accompanied by inflammatory cell infiltration, alveolar proteinosis, and cytokine secretion. Expression of Nlrp3 was markedly upregulated by the NiONPs, which was accompanied by overexpression of the active form of caspase-1 (p20) and interleukin (IL)-1β secretion in vivo. NiONP-induced IL-1β secretion was partially prevented by co-treatment with a caspase-1 inhibitor in macrophages. Moreover, siRNA-mediated Nlrp3 knockdown completely attenuated NiONP-induced cytokine release and caspase-1 activity in macrophages in vitro. In addition, NiONP-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation requires particle uptake and reactive oxygen species production. Collectively, our findings suggest that the NLRP3 inflammasome participates in NiONP-induced pulmonary inflammation and offer new strategies to combat the pulmonary toxicity induced by NiONPs.

Abstract
The respiratory system is the primary target of nickel or nickel compound toxicity after inhalation exposure. There are no reports on the effects of nickel or nickel compounds on the lung via dietary administration at present. This study aimed to investigate pulmonary toxicity induced by dietary NiCl2 in broiler chickens by using histopathology, qRT-PCR, and ELISA. In comparison with the control group, NiCl2 intake induced oxidative damage to DNA (upregulation of 8-OHdG) and lipid peroxidation (upregulation of MDA), which was associated with the upregulation of NO and the downregulation of the expression levels and activities of pulmonary CuZn-SOD, Mn-SOD, CAT, GSH-Px, GR and GST mRNA. Also, the T-AOC activity, GSH content, ability to inhibit the generation of hydroxyl radicals, and ratio of GSH/GSSG were decreased in the groups treated with NiCl2. Concurrently, the mRNA expression levels of iNOS, TNF-α, COX-2, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-18 and IFN-γ were increased via the activation of NF-κB, and the mRNA expression levels of anti-inflammatory mediators including IL-2, IL-4 and IL-13 were decreased in the groups treated with NiCl2. The above-mentioned results were the first to demonstrate that NiCl2 intake induced pulmonary oxidative stress and inflammatory responses via the dietary pathway, which subsequently contributed to histopathological lesions and dysfunction.

Abstract
A novel chitosan scaffold with micro- and nano-hybrid structures was proposed in this study. The hemispheric array of the barrier layer of an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) film was used as the substrate. Microelectromechanical systems and nickel electroforming techniques were integrated for fabricating chitosan scaffolds with different micro/nanohybrid structures. Nerve cells were then cultured on the conduits. It was demonstrated that the scaffold with pure microstructures can guide the nerve cells to grow along the ridges of the microstructure and some cells to grow across the groove in between two ridges of the microstructure. It was also shown that the scaffold with microscale ridges and nanopatterns on the groove between two ridges can more effectively guide the cells to grow along the ridges, thus enhancing the proliferation of nerve cells.

Abstract
Binary catalyst nickel oxides (NiO) and manganese oxides (MnO) were prepared individually via hydrothermal route. The catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and amperometry. Morphology studies revealed physical structure of nanowires nickel oxide and spherical manganese oxide with estimated length of 0.3–2.3 μm and diameter of 0.2–0.8 μm, respectively. Surface areas obtained for nickel oxide and manganese oxide were 68.9 m2 g−1and 45.2 m2 g−1, respectively. Cyclic voltammetry exhibits electrochemical responses corresponding to the electrode surfaces. The linear responses of the binary catalyst modified gold electrodes with NiO-MnO were observed in the concentration range from 31.8 μM to 0.5 mM with the detection limit of 62.5 μM.

Abstract
High concentrations of nickel (Ni) are harmful to humans and animals. Ni targets a number of organs and produces multiple toxic effects. Apoptosis is important in Ni-induced toxicity of the kidneys, liver, nerves, and immune system. Apoptotic pathways mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Fas, and c-Myc participate in Ni-induced cell apoptosis. However, the exact mechanism of apoptosis caused by Ni is still unclear. Understanding the mechanism of Ni-induced apoptosis may help in designing measures to prevent Ni toxicity.

Abstract
The review will discuss in detail the effects of polyphenols on breast cancer, including both the advantages and disadvantages of the applications of these natural compounds. First, we focus on the characterization of the main classes of polyphenols and then on in vitro and in vivo experiments carried out in breast cancer models. Since the therapeutic effects of the administration of a single type of polyphenol might be limited because of the reduced bioavailability of these drugs, investigations on combination of several polyphenols or polyphenols with conventional therapy will also be discussed. In addition, we present recent data focusing on clinical trials with polyphenols and new approaches with nanoparticles in breast cancer. Besides the clinical and translational findings this review systematically summarizes our current knowledge about the molecular mechanisms of anti-cancer effects of polyphenols, which are related to apoptosis, cell cycle regulation, plasma membrane receptors, signaling pathways and epigenetic mechanisms. At the same time the effects of polyphenols on primary tumor, metastasis and angiogenesis in breast cancer are discussed. The increasing enthusiasm regarding the combination of polyphenols and conventional therapy in breast cancer might lead to additional efforts to motivate further research in this field.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of curcumin on chronic ethanol-induced liver injury in mice and to explore its underlying mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ethanol-exposed Balb/c mice were simultaneously treated with curcumin for 6 weeks. Liver injury was evaluated by biochemical and histopathological examination. Lipid peroxidation and anti-oxidant activities were measured by spectrophotometric method. Anti-oxidative genes expression such as NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction. The nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and the phosphorylation states of specific proteins central to intracellular signaling cascades were measured by western blotting. RESULTS Curcumin treatment protected liver from chronic ethanol-induced injury through reducing serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase activities, improving liver histological architecture, and reversing lipid disorders indicated by decrease of triglyceride, total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels and increase of High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels. Meanwhile, curcumin administration attenuated oxidative stress via up-regulating SOD and glutathione peroxidase activities, leading to a reduction of lipid hydroperoxide production. In addition, curcumin increased Nrf2 activation and anti-oxidative genes expressions such as NQO1, HO-1, and SOD through inducing extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and p38 phosphorylation. CONCLUSION Our data suggested that curcumin protected the liver from chronic-ethanol induced injury through attenuating oxidative stress, at least partially, through ERK/p38/Nrf2-mediated anti-oxidant signaling pathways.

Abstract
The aims of this study were to investigate the pathways which dietary nickel chloride (NiCl2) affects small intestine apoptosis in broiler chickens by observing the ultrastructure, and bcl-2, bax, and caspase-3 protein expression and mRNA expression, and cytochrome C, bak and caspase-9 mRNA expression of the small intestine. A total of 240 one-day-old avian broilers were divided into four groups and fed a corn-soybean basal diet as the control diet or three experimental diets supplemented with 300, 600, and 900 mg/kg of NiCl2 for 42 days. Ultrastructurally, the microvilli were apparently exfoliated, and the mitochondria were swollen and the number of lysosomes increased in the intestinal cells of three experimental groups. As measured by TUNEL and flow cytometry (FCM), the percentage of apoptotic cells in the small intestine and the lymphocytes in the ileum were significantly increased in three experimental groups when compared with those of the control group. Meanwhile, immunohistochemistry, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay (ELISA) tests showed that the protein expression, mRNA expression levels were decreased in the bcl-2, whereas those of bax and caspase-3, and the cytochrome C, bak and caspase-9 mRNA expression levels were increased in three experimental groups. The abovementioned results show that pathway of dietary NiCl2-induced small intestine apoptosis is related to the mitochondrial damage and promotion of the cytochrome C release from mitochondria, which activates the mitochondrion-mediated apoptosis pathway.

Abstract
We investigated whether Aluminum (Al) doping tunes band gap energy level as well as selective cytotoxicity of ZnO nanoparticles in human breast cancer cells (MCF-7). Pure and Al-doped ZnO nanoparticles were prepared by a simple sol-gel method. Characterization study confirmed the formation of single phase of AlxZn1-xO nanocrystals with the size range of 33–55 nm. Al-doping increased the band gap energy of ZnO nanoparticles (from 3.51 eV for pure to 3.87 eV for Al-doped ZnO). Al-doping also enhanced the cytotoxicity and oxidative stress response of ZnO nanoparticles in MCF-7 cells. The IC50 for undoped ZnO nanoparticles was 44 μg/ml while for the Al-doped ZnO counterparts was 31 μg/ml. Up-regulation of apoptotic genes (e.g. p53, bax/bcl2 ratio, caspase-3 & caspase-9) along with loss of mitochondrial membrane potential suggested that Al-doped ZnO nanoparticles induced apoptosis in MCF-7 cells through mitochondrial pathway. Importantly, Al-doping did not change the benign nature of ZnO nanoparticles towards normal cells suggesting that Al-doping improves the selective cytotoxicity of ZnO nanoparticles toward MCF-7 cells without affecting the normal cells. Our results indicated a novel approach through which the inherent selective cytotoxicity of ZnO nanoparticles against cancer cells can be further improved.

Abstract
Nickel ferrite nanoparticles (NPs) have received much attention for their potential applications in biomedical fields such as magnetic resonance imaging, drug delivery and cancer hyperthermia. However, little is known about the toxicity of nickel ferrite NPs at the cellular and molecular levels. In this study, we investigated the cytotoxic responses of nickel ferrite NPs in two different types of human cells (i.e., liver HepG2 and breast MCF-7). Nickel ferrite NPs induced dose-dependent cytotoxicity in both types of cells, which was demonstrated by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide (MTT), neutral red uptake (NRU) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assays. Nickel ferrite NPs were also found to induce oxidative stress, which was evident by the depletion of glutathione and the induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation. The mitochondrial membrane potential due to nickel ferrite NP exposure was also observed. The mRNA levels for the tumor suppressor gene p53 and the apoptotic genes bax, CASP3 and CASP9 were up-regulated, while the anti-apoptotic gene bcl-2 was down-regulated following nickel ferrite NP exposure. Furthermore, the activities of apoptotic enzymes (caspase-3 and caspase-9) were also higher in both types of cells treated with nickel ferrite NPs. Cytotoxicity induced by nickel ferrite was efficiently prevented by N-acetyl cysteine (ROS scavenger) treatment, which suggested that oxidative stress might be one of the possible mechanisms of nickel ferrite NP toxicity. We also observed that MCF-7 cells were slightly more susceptible to nickel ferrite NP exposure than HepG2 cells. This study warrants further investigation to explore the potential mechanisms of different cytotoxic responses of nickel ferrite NPs in different cell lines.

Abstract
Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is currently the most widely used brominated flame retardant (BFR). To date, the toxic effects of TBBPA remains poorly understood in aquatic organisms, especially in bivalves. The objective of this experiment was to examine bioaccumulation and multibiomarker responses in the scallop Chlamys farreri exposed to TBBPA under laboratory conditions. The results showed that TBBPA was rapidly accumulated in and then eliminated from the gill and digestive gland of the scallops. TBBPA exposure invoked alterations in the detoxification system and induced oxidant stress and biomacromolecule damages in the gill and digestive gland of C. farreri. Additionally, glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activity, lipid peroxidation (LPO) level, cytochrome b5 (Cyt b5) content, and DNA strand break had good correlations with TBBPA accumulation levels in the gill and digestive gland of C. farreri. Summarizing, these results enabled us to hypothesize several toxic mechanisms of TBBPA and select potential biomarkers for TBBPA pollution monitoring.

Abstract
With application of nano-sized nickel-containing particles (Nano-Ni) expanding, the health concerns about their adverse effects on the pulmonary system are increasing. However, the mechanisms for the pulmonary toxicity of these materials remain unclear. In the present study, we focused on the impacts of NiO nanoparticles (NiONPs) on sirtuin1 (SIRT1), a NAD-dependent deacetylase, and investigated whether SIRT1 was involved in NiONPs-induced apoptosis. Although the NiONPs tended to agglomerate in fluid medium, they still entered into the human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B) and released Ni(2+) inside the cells. NiONPs at doses of 5, 10, and 20μg/cm(2) inhibited the cell viability. NiONPs' produced cytotoxicity was demonstrated through an apoptotic process, indicated by increased numbers of Annexin V positive cells and caspase-3 activation. The expression of SIRT1 was markedly down-regulated by the NiONPs, accompanied by the hyperacetylation of p53 (tumor protein 53) and overexpression of Bax (Bcl-2-associated X protein). However, overexpression of SIRT1 through resveratrol treatment or transfection clearly attenuated the NiONPs-induced apoptosis and activation of p53 and Bax. Our results suggest that the repression of SIRT1 may underlie the NiONPs-induced apoptosis via p53 hyperacetylation and subsequent Bax activation. Because SIRT1 participates in multiple biologic processes by deacetylation of dozens of substrates, this knowledge of the impact of NiONPs on SIRT1 may lead to an improved understanding of the toxic mechanisms of Nano-Ni and provide a molecular target to antagonize Nano-Ni toxicity.

Abstract
Background: Gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity is one of the most common causes of acute kidney injury (AKI). The phenotypic alterations that contribute to acute kidney injury include inflammatory response and oxidative stress. Curcumin has a wide range biological functions, especially as an antioxidant. This study was designed to evaluate the renoprotective effects of curcumin treatment in gentamicin-induced AKI. Methods: Gentamicin-induced AKI was established in female Sprague–Dawley rats. Rats were treated with curcumin (100 mg/kg body mass) by intragastric administration, once daily, followed with an intraperitoneal injection of gentamicin sulfate solution at a dose of 80 mg/kg body mass for 8 consecutive days. At days 3 and 8, the rats were sacrificed, and the kidneys and blood samples were collected for further analysis. Results: The animals treated with gentamicin showed marked deterioration of renal function, together with higher levels of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) in the plasma as compared with the controls. Animals that underwent intermittent treatment with curcumin exhibited significant improvements in renal functional parameters. We also observed that treatment with curcumin significantly attenuated renal tubular damage, apoptosis, and oxidative stress. Curcumin treatment exerted anti-apoptosis and anti-oxidative effects by up-regulating Nrf2/HO-1 and Sirt1 expression. Conclusions: Our data clearly demonstrate that curcumin protects kidney from gentamicin-induced AKI via the amelioration of oxidative stress and apoptosis of renal tubular cells, thus providing hope for the amelioration of gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Due to advent of nanotechnology, nickel nanoparticles (Ni NPs) are increasingly recognized for their utility in various applications including catalysts, sensors and electronics. However, the environmental and human health effects of Ni NPs have not been fully investigated. In this study, we examined toxic effects of Ni NPs in human liver (HepG2) cells. Ni NPs were prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. We observed that Ni NPs (size, ∼28 nm; concentration range, 25-100 μg/mL) induced cytotoxicity in HepG2 cells and degree of induction was concentration-dependent. Ni NPs were also found to induce oxidative stress in dose-dependent manner evident by induction of reactive oxygen species and depletion of glutathione. Cell cycle analysis of cells treated with Ni NPs exhibited significant increase of apoptotic cell population in subG1 phase. Ni NPs also induced caspase-3 enzyme activity and apoptotic DNA fragmentation. Upregulation of cell cycle checkpoint gene p53 and bax/bcl-2 ratio with a concomitant loss in mitochondrial membrane potential suggested that Ni NPs induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells was mediated through mitochondrial pathway. This study warrants that applications of Ni NPs should be carefully assessed as to their toxicity to human health.

Abstract
The present investigation was aimed to study the cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, and genotoxicity induced by molybdenum nanoparticles (Mo-NPs) in mouse skin fibroblast cells (L929). Cells were exposed to different concentrations (1-100 μg/ml) of Mo-NPs (size 40 nm) for 24 and 48 h. After the exposure, different cytotoxicity assays (3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide, MTT; neutral red uptake, NRU; and cellular morphology) and oxidative stress markers (lipid peroxidation, LPO; glutathione, GSH; and catalase) were studied. Further, Mo-NPs-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), cell cycle arrest, and DNA damage were also studied. L929 cells treated with Mo-NPs showed a concentration- and time-dependent decrease in cell viability and a loss of the normal cell morphology. The percentage cell viability was recorded as 25%, 42%, and 58% by MTT assay and 24%, 46%, and 56% by NRU assay at 25, 50, and 100 μg/ml of Mo-NPs, respectively after 48 h exposure. Furthermore, the cells showed a significant induction of oxidative stress. This was confirmed by the increase in LPO and ROS generation, as well as the decrease in the GSH and catalase levels. The decrease in MMP also confirms the impaired mitochondrial membrane. The cell cycle analysis and comet assay data revealed that Mo-NPs induced G2/M arrest and DNA damage in a concentration-dependent manner. Our results demonstrated, for the first time, Mo-NPs induced cytotoxicity, oxidative stress and genotoxicity in L929 cells. Thus, data suggest the potential hazardous nature of Mo-NPs.
