Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. The use of a combination of chemotherapy drugs and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs), which have proven to induce tumor-selective cell death, reduce the drug resistance and reduce the side effects in vitro. In the present study, we developed ZnO-NPs loaded with both cisplatin (Cp) and gemcitabine (Gem) (ZnO-NPs(Cp/Gem)), then the morphologies and the size distribution of ZnO-NPs(Cp/Gem) particles were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Also, MTT, western blot and Annexin V-PI were used to assess the anti-tumor role of ZnO-NPs(Cp/Gem) in A549 cells. The viability for A549 cells showed a significant decrease in the ZnO NPs(Cp/Gem) group, respectively relative to Cp, Gem, the combination of Cp and Gem (Cp+Gem), and ZnO-NPs loaded with Cp (ZnO-NPs(Cp)) or Gem (ZnO-NPs(Gem)). Furthermore, ZnO-NPs(Cp/Gem) remarkably enhanced the apoptosis-promoting effect of Cp and Gem in A549 cells. The xenograft model showed that Zno-NPS (Cp/Gem) significantly enhanced the inhibition of Cp and Gem on tumor formation. The above results suggested that therapy of NSCLC with ZnO-NPs(Cp/Gem) could enhance the cytotoxic action of chemotherapeutic agents synergistically, indicating a promising potential for ZnO-NPs in antitumor applications.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) have been extensively applied in our daily life. Humans are at high risk of being exposed to ZnO-NPs, which induce potentially adverse health effects. Although a growing number of studies have investigated the toxic effects of ZnO-NPs, the available data concerning ZnO-NP interactions with the blood-milk barrier (BMB) remain highly limited. Herein, we systematically investigated the damage to BMB integrity induced by ZnO-NPs and the mechanisms involved. ZnO-NPs that were intravenously injected into lactating dams accumulated in the mammary gland and entered into the breast milk, inducing disruption to BMB integrity and changes in the tight junction (TJ) and adherens junction (AJ) components. Furthermore, using an in vitro BMB model composed of EpH4-Ev cells, we verified that ZnO-NP-triggered ROS generation and the activation of MKK4 and JNK are the main mechanism of cell-cell junction damage. More interestingly, JNK activation played different roles in inducing changes in the TJ and AJ complex, and these effects did not need to activate the downstream c-Jun. These data provide more information for understanding ZnO-NP interactions with the BMB and raise concern for the daily use and the intravenous use of ZnO-NPs by lactating mothers.

Abstract
The present analysis deals with the entropy analysis of the blood flow through an anisotropically tapered arteries under the suspension of magnetic Zinc-oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs). The Jeffrey fluid model is contemplated as blood that is electrically conducting and incompressible. The lubrication approach is used for the mathematical modeling. The second law of thermodynamics is used to examine the entropy generation. The exact solutions are obtained against velocity and temperature profile with the use of computational software. The results for Entropy, Velocity, Bejan number, temperature profile, and impedance profile are discussed by plotting the graphs. ZnO-NPs have promising applications in biomedical engineering due to its low toxicity, economically reliable, and excellent biocompatibility. ZnO-NPs also emerged in medicine i.e., antibacterial and anticancer activity, and also beneficial in antidiabetic treatment. The monitoring of the blood temperature in the case of the tapered artery has supreme importance in controlling the temperature of blood in the living environment. The presence of a magnetic field is advantageous to manage and control the blood motion at different temperatures. The present outcomes are enriched to give valuable information for the research scientists in the field biomedical science, who are looking to examine the blood flow with stenosis conditions and also beneficial in treating multiple diseases.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have been proven to be a great tool as bio-sensors, medical therapeutic agents and drug delivery vehicles. In this study, the chemically synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have been characterized with UV-spectrophotometer, FTIR, XRD, TEM and DLS. These ZnO NPs were investigated with respect to their binding interaction with serum albumin and the thermodynamic parameters of these interactions at different temperatures. Glycation process was checked in the presence of ZnO NPs by measuring fructosamine and carbonyl content for glycated end products and aggregation by Congo red assay. The intrinsic activities of bovine serum albumin (BSA) like esterase and cysteine reactivity were also evaluated in the presence of ZnO NPs. The results indicate that the ZnO NPs showed static as well as dynamic binding interaction with BSA, reduced the content of glycation products and prevented the glycation induced aggregation and antioxidant properties. Therefore, these findings suggest that ZnO NPs may be used for drug delivery agents and antiglycating as well as an antioxidant agent.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Smart nanoparticles for medical applications have gathered considerable attention due to an improved biocompatibility and multifunctional properties useful in several applications, including advanced drug delivery systems, nanotheranostics and in vivo imaging. Among nanomaterials, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were deeply investigated due to their peculiar physical and chemical properties. The large surface to volume ratio, coupled with a reduced size, antimicrobial activity, photocatalytic and semiconducting properties, allowed the use of ZnO NPs as anticancer drugs in new generation physical therapies, nanoantibiotics and osteoinductive agents for bone tissue regeneration. However, ZnO NPs also show a limited stability in biological environments and unpredictable cytotoxic effects thereof. To overcome the abovementioned limitations and further extend the use of ZnO NPs in nanomedicine, doping seems to represent a promising solution. This review covers the main achievements in the use of doped ZnO NPs for nanomedicine applications. Sol-gel, as well as hydrothermal and combustion methods are largely employed to prepare ZnO NPs doped with rare earth and transition metal elements. For both dopant typologies, biomedical applications were demonstrated, such as enhanced antimicrobial activities and contrast imaging properties, along with an improved biocompatibility and stability of the colloidal ZnO NPs in biological media. The obtained results confirm that the doping of ZnO NPs represents a valuable tool to improve the corresponding biomedical properties with respect to the undoped counterpart, and also suggest that a new application of ZnO NPs in nanomedicine can be envisioned.

Abstract
Aptamers are single-stranded DNA or RNA with 20-100 nucleotides in length that can specifically bind to target molecules via formed three-dimensional structures. These innovative targeting molecules have attracted an increasing interest in the biomedical field. Compared to traditional protein antibodies, aptamers have several advantages, such as small size, high binding affinity, specificity, good biocompatibility, high stability and low immunogenicity, which all contribute to their wide application in the biomedical field. Aptamers can bind to the receptors on the cell membrane and mediate themselves or conjugated nanoparticles to enter into cells. Therefore, aptamers can be served as ideal targeting ligands for drug delivery. Since their excellent properties, different aptamer-mediated drug delivery systems had been developed for cancer therapy. This review provides a brief overview of recent advances in drug delivery systems based on aptamers. The advantages, challenges and future prospectives are also discussed.

Abstract
A significant amount of work has been done in recent years for the development of metal organic framework (MOF) based drug delivery vehicles. Often, nanomaterials such as iron oxide (Fe3O4), zinc oxide (ZnO), and other metal oxides like graphene oxide etc. are incorporated into the structures to impart additional functionality. In this work, an iron(iii) trimesate metal organic framework i.e. MIL-100(Fe) and its composites with ZnO nanoparticles i.e. ZnO@MIL-100(Fe) were investigated as delivery agents for anticancer drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX). The synthesis of the composites was done by two routes viz. a conventional HF route (in the presence of HF as a crystallizing agent) and another one in the absence of HF. The resultant MOF and its composites significantly differ in DOX loading capacity and release rates. The results obtained in this work indicate that the DOX loading capacity increases upon addition of nanoparticles when the original MOF has lower mesopore volume (as in the sample obtained via the HF route). Surprisingly, this increase in the DOX loading was comparable to that of Fe3O4@MIL-100(Fe), although the two pure nanoparticles (ZnO and Fe3O4) have widely different loading capacities. On the other hand, the addition of ZnO nanoparticles reduces the DOX loading capacity, if the MOF has higher mesopore volume (as for the sample obtained via the HF free route). The composites synthesized by the HF route with enhanced loading capacity exhibit slower DOX release rates due to the stronger interaction of the drug with the composite.

Abstract
After bone tumor resection, the large bony deficits are commonly reconstructed with Ti-based metallic endoprosthesis, which provide immediate stable fixation and allow early ambulation and weight bearing. However, when used in osteosarcoma resection, Ti implant-relative infection and tumor recurrence were recognized as the two critical factors for implantation failure. Hence, in this work, a novel zinc oxide nanoparticle decorating with naringin was prepared and immobilized onto Ti substrate. The drugs delivery profiles proved that in the bacterial infection and Warburg effect of osteosarcoma-induced acidic condition, naringin and Zn2+ can be released easily from the functional Ti substrate. The anti-osteosarcoma and antibacterial assay showed the delivered naringin and Zn2+ can induce a remarkable increase of oxidative stress in bacteria (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) and osteosarcoma (Saos-2 cells) by producing reactive oxygen species (ROS). Accumulation of ROS results in damage of bacterial biofilm and bacterial membrane, leading to the leakage of bacterial RNA and DNA. Meanwhile, the increase of ROS induces osteosarcoma cell apoptosis by activating ROS/extracellular signal-regulated kinase signaling pathway. Furthermore, in vitro cellular experiments, including cell viability, alkaline phosphatase activity, collagen secretion, extracellular matrix mineralization level, indicated that the functional Ti substrate exhibited great potential for osteoblasts proliferation and differentiation. Hence, this study provides a simple and promising strategy of developing multifunctional Ti-based implants for the reconstruction of large bony after osteosarcoma resection.

Abstract
:Nanoparticle catalyzed synthesis is a green and convenient method to achieve most of the chemical transformations in water or other green solvents. Nanoparticle ensures an easy isolation process of catalyst as well as products from the reaction mixture avoiding the hectic work up procedure. Zinc oxide is a biocompatible, environmentally benign and economically viable nanocatalyst with effectivity comparable to the other metal nanocatalyst employed in several reaction strategies. This review mainly focuses on the recent applications of zinc oxide in the synthesis of biologically important heterocyclic molecules under sustainable reaction conditions.:Application of zinc oxide in organic synthesis: Considering the achievable advantages of this nanocatalyst, presently several research groups are paying attention in anchoring zincoxide or its modified structure in several types of organic conversions e.g. multicomponent reactions, ligand-free coupling reactions, cycloaddition reaction, etc. The advantages and limitations of this nanocatalyst are also demonstrated. The present study aims to highlight the recent multifaceted applications of ZnO towards the synthesis of diverse heterocyclic motifs. Being a promising biocompatible nanoparticle, this catalyst has an important contribution in the fields of synthetic chemistry and medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
To develop the semiconductor of ZnO nanomaterials as the fluorescence sensor without leakage toxicity. Here, a molecularly imprinted polymer captivity ZnO nanorods (NRs) (MIPs-captivity ZnO NRs) was fabricated by precipitation polymerization. Such traditional technology was not only achieved the specific recognition for direct fluorescent quantification of the target tetracycline (TC) through fluorescence quenching, but also formed the shield to reduce the toxic effects of ZnO towards organisms. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the MIPs-captivity ZnO NRs were effectively applied to the direct fluorescence quantification of TC with excellent stability. Moreover, the practical analytical performance of the MIPs-captivity ZnO NRs was assayed by appraising the detection effects of TC in water sample from the Yangtze River with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) hollow spheres with defined morphology and micro-/nanostructure are prepared by a hydrothermal synthesis approach. The materials possess fine-leaved structures at their particle surface (nanowall hollow micro spheres). Morphology control is achieved by citric acid used as an additive in variable relative quantities during the synthesis. The structure formation is studied by various time-dependent ex situ methods, such as scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy. The fine-leaved surface structure is characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy techniques (HRTEM, STEM), using a high-angle annular dark field detector, as well as by differential phase contrast analysis. In-depth structural characterization of the nanowalls by drop-by-drop ex situ FE-SEM analysis provides insight into possible structure formation mechanisms. Further investigation addresses the thermal stability of the particle morphology and the enhancement of the surface-to-volume ratio by heat treatment (examined by N2 physisorption).

Abstract
The extensive relevance of nanoparticles arouses the requirement for manufacturing although the predictable technique are frequently perilous and energy saving. In the current study, zinc oxide nanoparticles manufactured from Allium cepa avert UVB radiation interceded irritation in human epidermal keratinocytes (HaCaT cells). In the current study, the zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) was synthesized from the extract of A. cepa. The optimized ZnO-NPs hence attained and was enumerated and exemplified by UV visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and EDAX impending analysis. In addition, amalgamated ZnO-NPs were experienced for cell viability (MTT), formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), apoptosis, and antioxidant and lipid peroxidation (TBARS) levels. Also, we explored the effect of A. cepa ZnO-NPs in molecular level by evaluating the inflammatory and apoptotic markers, in which ZnO-NPs reinstated the interleukins 6, 10 and related signaling molecules like iNOS, COX-2 levels. Ultimately, ZnO-NPs induce apoptotic markers (Bax, Bcl-2) and also recommended that ZnO-NPs might aggravate cancer cell apoptosis in HaCaT cells.

Abstract
Novel dye-linked zinc oxide nanoparticles (NPs) hold potential as photosensitizers for biomedical applications due to their excellent thermal- and photo-stability. The particles produced reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon irradiation with 850 nm near infrared (NIR) light in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Upon irradiation, ROS detected in vitro in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and human carcinoma MCF7 cells positively correlated with particle concentration and interestingly, ROS detected in MCF7 was higher than in HUVEC. Preferential cytotoxicity was also exhibited by the NPs as cell killing was higher in MCF7 than in HUVEC. In the absence of irradiation, dye-linked ZnO particles minimally affected the viability of cell (HUVEC) at low concentrations (<30 μg/mL), but viability significantly decreased at higher particle concentrations, suggesting a need for particle surface modification with poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) for improved biocompatibility. The presence of PEG on particles after dialysis was indicated by an increase in size, an increase in zeta potential towards neutral, and spectroscopy results. Cell viability was improved in the absence of irradiation when cells were exposed to PEG-coated, dye-linked ZnO particles compared to non-surface modified particles. The present study shows that there is potential for biological application of dye-linked ZnO particles in photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
In this study we design green synthesis of a novel ZnO nanocarrier loaded with paclitaxel as a drug delivery system with high cytotoxicity against breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) and low side effects on the normal cell line (fibroblast). Paclitaxel is formulated in high concentration in Cremophor EL because of its low solubility. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were prepared by the ethanolic extract of Camellia sinensis L., then coated with chitosan (Ch) and loaded with paclitaxel (PTX) to improve drug delivery. The physicochemical properties were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Drug loading on ZnO-Ch NPs was measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In vitro apoptosis assay was assessed by flow cytometry. The cytotoxic effect of the nanocarrier drug was investigated using MTT assay in cancerous and normal cell lines. The PTX-loaded ZnO-Ch NPs showed cytotoxic effects on MCF-7 cells, with minimal detrimental effects on normal fibroblasts. The results of apoptosis assay were compliant with MTT findings. Generally, ZnO-Ch NPs could be used as a promising drug delivery platform for PTX with low side effect on normal cell line and high cytotoxic effect on breast cancer cell line.

Abstract
Small-cell lung cancer, a highly malignant form of lung cancer, often responds to first-line treatments but relapses in most cases with resistance to further treatments. We tested zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles against small-cell lung cancer and other cancer cell lines, in light of reported anticancer effects in vitro Because of a strong safety record, ZnO nanoparticles are frequently used in biomedical research, including in cellular imaging and drug delivery, and have been used for many years in several commercial products such as skin care agents. Strikingly, ZnO nanoparticles were genotoxic against small-cell lung cancer cells, resulting in low viability, even in cells orthotopically grafted onto mouse models. However, the nanoparticles were less cytotoxic against normal lung-derived cells and did not elicit observable adverse effects after intravenous administration. ZnO nanoparticles were also found to induce highly reactive oxygen species and DNA leakage from nuclei. This study is the first comprehensive evaluation of the anticancer effects of ZnO nanoparticles in vitro and in vivo and highlights new therapeutic opportunities against small-cell lung cancer.

Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles have been studied as metal-based drugs that may be used for biomedical applications due to the fact of their biocompatibility. Their physicochemical properties, which depend on synthesis techniques involving physical, chemical, biological, and microfluidic reactor methods affect biological activity in vitro and in vivo. Advanced tool-based physicochemical characterization is required to identify the biological and toxicological effects of ZnO nanoparticles. These nanoparticles have variable morphologies and can be molded into three-dimensional structures to enhance their performance. Zinc oxide nanoparticles have shown therapeutic activity against cancer, diabetes, microbial infection, and inflammation. They have also shown the potential to aid in wound healing and can be used for imaging tools and sensors. In this review, we discuss the synthesis techniques, physicochemical characteristics, evaluation tools, techniques used to generate three-dimensional structures, and the various biomedical applications of ZnO nanoparticles.

Abstract
Polymorphous light eruption (PLE) is one of the acquired idiopathic photodermatosis mainly induced by immoderate UV radiation. In order to realize UV protection and medicine administration simultaneously for polymorphous light eruption protection and therapy, Acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA) loaded Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles of which drug release behavior is UV-controlled has been successfully synthesized. Such nanoparticles can not only reflect UV but also transfer the energy to release AKBA which presents an excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. In addition, they are biocompatible to HaCaT cells. As a result, they have a great potential in combining UV protection and medicine administration simultaneously for PLE protection and therapy.

Abstract
Nanodrug-based cancer therapy is impeded by poor penetration into deep tumor tissues mainly due to the overexpression of hyaluronic acid (HA) in the tumor extracellular matrix (ECM). Although modification of nanoparticles (NPs) with hyaluronidase (HAase) is a potent strategy, it remains challenging to get a uniform distribution of drug at the tumor site because of the internalization of NPs by the cells in the tumor and HA regeneration. Herein, an intelligent nanocarrier, which can release HAase in response to the acidic tumor microenvironment (pH 6.5) and perform a strong neighboring effect with size reduction to overcome the above two problems and accomplish drug deep tumor penetration in vivo, is reported. In this design, HAase is encapsulated on the surfaces of doxorubicin (DOX) preloaded ZnO-DOX NPs using a charge convertible polymer PEG-PAH-DMMA (ZDHD). The polymer can release HAase to degrade HA in the tumor ECM (pH 6.5). ZnO-DOX NPs can release DOX in lysosomes (pH 4.5) to induce cell apoptosis, and exert a neighboring effect with size reduction to infect neighboring cells. The hierarchical targeted release of HAase and drugs is demonstrated to enhance tumor penetration and decrease side effects in vivo. This work shows promise for further application of ZDHD NPs in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Engineering and application of nanomaterials have recently helped advance various biomedical fields. Zinc oxide (ZnO)-based nanocomposites have become one of the most promising candidates for biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility, unique physicochemical properties, and cost-effective mass production. In addition, recent advances in nano-engineering technologies enable the generation of ZnO nanocomposites with unique three-dimensional structures and surface characteristics that are optimally designed for in vivo applications. Here, we review recent advances in the application of diverse ZnO nanocomposites, with an especial focus on their development as vaccine adjuvant and cancer immunotherapeutics, as well as their intrinsic properties interacting with the immune system and potential toxic effect in vivo. Finally, we summarize promising proof-of-concept applications as prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines against infections and cancers. Understanding the nano-bio interfaces between ZnO-based nanocomposites and the immune system, together with bio-effective design of the nanomaterial using nano-architectonic technology, may open new avenues in expanding the biomedical application of ZnO nanocomposites as a novel vaccine platform.

Abstract
Background Recently, several studies demonstrate the possible role of zinc oxide (ZnO) in the protection of several skin diseases, but less is known about the role of ZnO nanoparticles in the inflammatory skin disease. So, this study was designed to confirm the pivotal role of the nano zinc oxide cream in the alleviation of lead oxide (PbO) induced-allergic dermatitis in rats. Materials and methods Two concentrations (1% and 6%) of ZnONPs creams were prepared and characterized prior to being used in the study. A total number of 30 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups. Group 1 (negative control), groups 2&3 (either 1% or 6% ZnONPs control groups), group 4 (PbO), groups 5&6 (co-treatment of each ZnONPs concentration+PbO). All rats in different groups were observed daily to determine the severity of dermal gross lesions. Histopathological studies, mRNA analysis, and oxidative stress evaluations were performed on the affected skin tissue. Immunohistochemical studies were performed to evaluate the expression of cluster of differentiation CD4, CD8 and intercellular adhesion molecules ICAM-1 in different groups. Results PbO caused extensive skin oxidative damage manifested by a significant increase in MDA level with a decrease in GSH content and CAT activity. The results of histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations revealed that topical application of PbO for 14 days led to severe allergic dermatitis with remarkable elevations in the number of CD4+ T-helper, CD8+ T-cytotoxic lymphocytes, and ICAM-1 expression. On the other hand, noticeable improvements were recorded in all the previous toxicopathological parameters among the groups treated by either 1% or 6% ZnO-NPs cream. However, the best results were observed in the group treated with 1% ZnO-NPs cream. Conclusion Our findings suggest that 1% of ZnO-NPs cream is safe when applied topically on the inflamed skin. Moreover, it had anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects so that, it is recommended to use the 1% ZnO-NPs cream to avert the dermal toxicity-induced by PbO.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is a growing science that may provide several new applications for medicine, food preservation, diagnostic technologies, and sanitation. Despite its beneficial applications, there are several questions related to the safety of nanomaterials for human use. The development of nanotechnology is associated with some concerns because of the increased risk of carcinogenesis following exposure to nanomaterials. The increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are due to exposure to nanoparticles (NPs) are primarily responsible for the genotoxicity of metal NPs. Not all, but most metal NPs are able to directly produce free radicals through the release of metal ions and through interactions with water molecules. Furthermore, the increased production of free radicals and the cell death caused by metal NPs can stimulate reduction/oxidation (redox) reactions, leading to the continuous endogenous production of ROS in a positive feedback loop. The overexpression of inflammatory mediators, such as NF-kB and STATs, the mitochondrial malfunction and the increased intracellular calcium levels mediate the chronic oxidative stress that occurs after exposure to metal NPs. In this paper, we review the genotoxicity of different types of metal NPs and the redox mechanisms that amplify the toxicity of these NPs.

Abstract
The release of nano-zinc oxide (nano-ZnO) into the environment may lead to unpredictable risks, thus it is necessary to study its potential harm to organisms. In this study, zebrafish exposed to nano-ZnO were analyzed through cDNA microarrays to provide insight into the toxic effect of nano-ZnO on aquatic organisms at the molecular level. Results found that nano-ZnO inhibited the normal growth and development of zebrafish and other life activities by affecting the process of cell cycle. The nano-ZnO inhibited the expression of the cyclins (Cycs), cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) and the minichromosome maintenance (MCM), making the activation of Cyc/CDK complexs (CycD/CDK4, 6; CycE/CDK2; CycA/CDK2) and MCM fail and resulting in DNA replication disorder in different periods (G1, M and G2 phase). Therefore, the normal activities of individual organism such as cell division, differentiation and proliferation and the functions of DNA binding and intracellular transfer were disturbed. These findings contribute to our understanding of the toxicity of ZnO NPs to aquatic organisms, and also provide an evaluation basis for assessing the environmental impact of nano materials.

Enhanced cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of gadolinium-doped ZnO nanoparticles on irradiated lung cancer cells at megavoltage radiation energies. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2019; 103:109739. [PMID: 31349426 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2019.109739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2018] [Revised: 05/07/2019] [Accepted: 05/08/2019] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the radiation dose enhancement effects of gadolinium-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles (Gd-doped ZnO NPs) under the megavoltage (MV) X-ray irradiation. ZnO NPs have preferred photocatalytic properties under UV light for cancer killing. UV light has limited applications in cancer treatment and it is necessary to use X-ray photons with MV energies. In order to increase the absorption of radiation and also to enhance the imaging visualization capabilities of ZnO NPs, gadolinium (Gd) as a high atomic number element was selected for doping into the structure of ZnO NPs. Gd-doped ZnO NPs were synthesized by a chemical precipitation method and characterized by transmission electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray techniques. Cellular uptake was assessed by TEM and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. NPs cytotoxicity was analyzed by MTT assay and radiation dose enhancement was measured by clonogenic survival assay. Apoptosis induction, cell cycle progression, micronucleus formation and expression of DNA double-strand break repair genes of XRCC2 and XRCC4 were determined by flow cytometry, micronucleus assay, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. CT and MR imaging were used to analyze the image visualization capabilities of NPs. NPs characterization showed that highly pure crystalline Gd-doped ZnO NPs with a narrow size distribution and grain size of 9 nm were synthesized. Gd-doped ZnO NPs were distributed in the cells and showed dose-dependent toxicity. Combination of Gd-doped ZnO NPs with 6 MV X-rays induced dose-dependent radiosensitivity with sensitizer enhancement ratios (SER) of 1.47 and 1.61 for 10 and 20 μg/mL NPs concentrations. Cancer cells blocked in G1, apoptosis rates, and micronuclei formation was enhanced and inversely, the DNA repair efficiency was impaired by down regulation of the mRNA levels of XRCC2 and XRCC4 genes. Gd-doped ZnO NPs enhanced the contrasts of CT and MR images of cancer cells. Overall, the results of this study provide detailed biological insights on the dose enhancement of Gd-doped ZnO NPs at MV radiations, which would contribute to the further development of this potent theranostic platform for clinical applications.

Abstract
Zinc has been described as the 'calcium of the twenty-first century'. Zinc-based degradable biomaterials have recently emerged thanks to their intrinsic physiological relevance, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and pro-regeneration properties. Zinc-based biomaterials mainly include: metallic zinc alloys, zinc ceramic nanomaterials, and zinc metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Metallic zinc implants degrade at a desirable rate, matching the healing pace of local tissues, and stimulating remodeling and formation of new tissues. Zinc ceramic nanomaterials are also beneficial for tissue engineering and therapy thanks to their nanostructures and antibacterial properties. MOFs have large surface areas and are easily functionalized, making them ideal for drug delivery and cancer therapy. This review highlights recent developments in zinc-based biomaterials, discusses obstacles to overcome, and pinpoints directions for future research.

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 design of nanoparticles is critical for their efficient use in many applications ranging from biomedicine to sensing and energy. While shape and size are responsible for the properties of the inorganic nanoparticle core, the choice of ligands is of utmost importance for the colloidal stability and function of the nanoparticles. Moreover, the selection of ligands employed in nanoparticle synthesis can determine their final size and shape. Ligands added after nanoparticle synthesis infer both new properties as well as provide enhanced colloidal stability. In this article, we provide a comprehensive review on the role of the ligands with respect to the nanoparticle morphology, stability, and function. We analyze the interaction of nanoparticle surface and ligands with different chemical groups, the types of bonding, the final dispersibility of ligand-coated nanoparticles in complex media, their reactivity, and their performance in biomedicine, photodetectors, photovoltaic devices, light-emitting devices, sensors, memory devices, thermoelectric applications, and catalysis.

Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) particles with different shapes and sizes have been previously reported to possess unique optical, electrical, photocatalytic, and antimicrobial properties. Capping agents are routinely used to control particle morphologies; however, few studies have evaluated the influence of capping agents on the growth kinetics of ZnO particles of different shapes. Herein, we report a simple water-based chemical precipitation method to produce unique bowtie-, flower-, and nest-shaped ZnO particles using zinc nitrate and urea in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Three distinct particle morphologies are obtained by adjusting polymer concentration during synthesis. This approach is simple and could enable large-scale production of ZnO particles with diverse shapes. We monitor the morphological evolution of ZnO particles and, at different polymer concentrations, uncover the preferable PVP adsorption onto different ZnO facets that controls the growth directions of ZnO. Previous reports have demonstrated the influence of particle shape on ZnO antibacterial activity. In this study, we show that ZnO particles with these three morphologies exhibit similar bacterial killing efficacy towards Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Our detailed mechanistic studies suggest that the antibacterial mechanism of ZnO particles can be attributed to both Zn2+ release and oxidative stress, whereas shape plays only a minor role in the antibacterial activity of ZnO particles.

Two nanostructured ZnO (NsZnO) with different morphologies were prepared through wet organic-solvent-free processes and characterized by means of powder X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and nitrogen adsorption analysis. The antimicrobial activity of the two samples against different microbial strains was investigated together with the in vitro Zn2+ release. The results indicated that the two ZnO nanostructures exhibited the following activity: S. aureus > C. albicans > K. pneumoniae. A correlation between the antimicrobial activity, the physico–chemical properties (specific surface area and crystal size) and the Zn2+ ion release was found. Ibuprofen was, for the first time, loaded on the NsZnO carriers with a supercritical CO2-mediated drug impregnation process and in vitro dissolution studies of the loaded drug were performed. A successful loading up to 14% w/w of ibuprofen in its amorphous form was obtained. A preliminary drug release test showed that up to 68% of the loaded ibuprofen could be delivered to a biological medium, confirming the feasibility of using NsZnO as a multifunctional antimicrobial drug carrier.

Bimodal Fucoidan-Coated Zinc Oxide/Iron Oxide-Based Nanoparticles for the Imaging of Atherothrombosis. Molecules 2019; 24:E962.

Abstract
A polyol method was used to obtain ultrasmall ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) doped with iron ions and coated with a low molecular weight fucoidan in order to perform in vivo MR and ex vivo fluorescence imaging of athrothrombosis. During the synthesis, the early elimination of water by azeotropic distillation with toluene allowed us to produce NPs which size, determined by XRD and TEM, decreased from 7 nm to 4 nm with the increase of iron/zinc ratios from 0.05 to 0.50 respectively. For the highest iron content (NP-0.50) NPs were evidenced as a mixture of nanocrystals made of wurtzite and cubic phase with a molar ratio of 2.57:1, although it was not possible to distinguish one from the other by TEM. NP-0.50 were superparamagnetic and exhibited a large emission spectrum at 470 nm when excited at 370 nm. After surface functionalization of NP-0.50 with fucoidan (fuco-0.50), the hydrodynamic size in the physiological medium was 162.0 ± 0.4 nm, with a corresponding negative zeta potential of -48.7 ± 0.4 mV, respectively. The coating was evidenced by FT-IR spectra and thermogravimetric analysis. Aqueous suspensions of fuco-0.50 revealed high transverse proton relaxivities (T₂) with an r₂ value of 173.5 mM-1 s-1 (300 K, 7.0 T) and remained stable for more than 3 months in water or in phosphate buffer saline without evolution of the hydrodynamic size and size distribution. No cytotoxic effect was observed on human endothelial cells up to 48 h with these NPs at a dose of 0.1 mg/mL. After injection into a rat model of atherothrombosis, MR imaging allowed the localization of diseased areas and the subsequent fluorescence imaging of thrombus on tissue slices.

Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO)-based nanocomposites have shown promising potential for various biomedical applications, including vaccine development, owing to their multifunctionality and biocompatibility. Here, we synthesized radially grown ZnO nanowires (NWs) on poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) microfibers with unique 3-dimensional structure and applied them as therapeutic cancer vaccines. This inorganic-organic hybrid nanocomposite has mild cellular toxicity but efficiently delivers a tumor antigen into dendritic cells, cellular bridges between innate and adaptive immunity, to stimulate them to express inflammatory cytokines and activation surface markers. We also demonstrated that the hybrid nanocomposites successfully induce tumor antigen-specific cellular immunity and significantly inhibit tumor growth in vivo. ZnO NWs on PLLA fibers systemically reduced immune suppressive TReg cells and enhanced the infiltration of T cells into tumor tissues, compared to mice immunized with PLLA fibers coated with the antigen. Our current findings open a new avenue in extending the biomedical application of inorganic metal oxide-inert organic hybrid nanocomposites as a novel vaccine platform.

J Adv Res 2019; 18:161-172. [PMID: 31032117 PMCID: PMC6479012 DOI: 10.1016/j.jare.2019.02.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 106] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2018] [Revised: 02/11/2019] [Accepted: 02/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
A novel ZnO-PBA-Curcumin nanohybrid was synthesized. Targeted delivery was achieved in cancer cells through PBA functionalization. Loading curcumin onto nanoparticles increased its anticancer effects. The pH-dependent release of curcumin was obtained in cancer cells. ZnO-PBA-Curcumin nanohybrids exhibited significant anticancer activity without any systemic toxicity.
Nanoparticle-mediated targeted delivery of bioactive natural compounds has recently been gaining much interest for breast cancer therapy. Herein, phenyl boronic acid (PBA)-conjugated and pH-responsive ZnO nanoparticles (diameter ∼40 nm) were synthesized for the tumor tissue-specific delivery of curcumin. PBA conjugation facilitates the targeted delivery of curcumin to the sialic acid overexpressed in breast cancer cell membranes. Curcumin-loaded ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-PBA-Curcumin) caused apoptotic cell death in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells by inducing oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage. Further, in vivo intravenous (i.v.) administration of ZnO-PBA-Curcumin was found to effectively decrease tumor growth in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) tumor-bearing mice via the enhanced accumulation of curcumin. Interestingly, ZnO-PBA-Curcumin did not show any signs of systemic toxicity. The cytotoxic potential of the nanohybrid ZnO-PBA-Curcumin is attributed to the combinatorial cytotoxic effects of curcumin and ZnO in cancer cells. Collectively, ZnO-PBA-Curcumin may represent a potential treatment modality for breast cancer therapy. This study provides insight into the tumor cell targeting mechanism using PBA functionalization, and the anticancer efficacy of curcumin-loaded pH-sensitive nanohybrids can be attributed to the differential oxidative stress-inducing properties of curcumin and Zn+2 ions.
