Abstract
Nanomedicine is a fast-growing field of nanotechnology. One of the major obstacles for a wider use of nanomaterials for medical application is the lack of standardized toxicity screening protocols for assessing the safety of newly synthesized nanomaterials. In this review, we focus on less frequently studied nanomaterials-induced regulated cell death (RCD) modalities, including eryptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis, as a tool for in vitro nanomaterials safety evaluation. We summarize the latest insights into the mechanisms that mediate these RCDs in response to nanomaterials exposure. Comprehensive data from reviewed studies suggest that ROS (reactive oxygen species) overproduction and ROS-mediated pathways play a central role in nanomaterials-induced RCDs activation. On the other hand, studies also suggest that individual properties of nanomaterials, including size, shape, or surface charge, could determine specific toxicity pathways with consequent RCD induction as well. We anticipate that the evaluation of RCDs can become one of the mechanism-based screening methods in nanotoxicology. In addition to the toxicity assessment, evaluation of necroptosis-, pyroptosis-, and ferroptosis-promoting capacity of nanomaterials could simultaneously provide useful information for specific medical applications as could be their anti-tumor potential. Moreover, a detailed understanding of molecular mechanisms driving nanomaterials-mediated induction of immunogenic RCDs will substantially aid novel anti-tumor nanodrugs development.

Abstract
Nano-based drug delivery research is increasing due to the therapeutic applications for human health care. However, traditional chemical capping-based synthesis methods lead to unwanted toxicity effects. Hence, there is an urgent need for green synthesis-based and biocompatible synthesis methods. The current work describes for the first time the green synthesis of Moringa gum-capped MgO nanoparticles (Mgm-MgO NPs). Their antioxidant activity, hemolysis potential, cytotoxicity, phytotoxicity, toxicity by chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) chick embryo assay and in vivo toxicity in zebrafish embryos were described. The Mgm-MgO NPs exhibited significant antioxidant activity. The Mgm-MgO NPs at 500 μg/ml produced significant hemolysis (72.54 %), while lower concentrations did not. Besides, the cytotoxicity assessment of the Mgm-MgO NPs was conducted in PA-1 cells from human ovarian teratocarcinoma by MTT assay. The Mgm-MgO NPs (0.1-500 μg/ml) considerably reduced the viability of PA-1 cells. Furthermore, Mgm-MgO NPs had no significant effect on seed germination but had a significant effect on root and shoot length of mungbean (Vigna radiata). Additionally, the CAM assay was used to analyze the antiangiogenic potential of Mgm-MgO NPs, exhibiting no significant alterations after 72 h. Finally, the zebrafish embryotoxicity assay revealed that the Mgm-MgO NPs (0.1-500 μg/ml) did not affect morphology, mortality or survival rate.

Abstract
Heavy metals and other organic pollutants burden the environment, and their removal or neutralization is still inadequate. The great potential for development in this area includes porous, spherical silica nanostructures with a well-developed active surface and open porosity. In this context, we modified the surface of silica spheres using a microwave field (variable power and exposure time) to increase the metal uptake potential and build stable bioactive Ag2O/Ag2CO3 heterojunctions. The results showed that the power of the microwave field (P = 150 or 700 W) had a more negligible effect on carrier modification than time (t = 60 or 150 s). The surface-activated and silver-loaded silica carrier features like morphology, structure, and chemical composition correlate with microbial and antioxidant enzyme activity. We demonstrated that the increased sphericity of silver nanoparticles enormously increased toxicity against E. coli, B. cereus, and S. epidermidis. Furthermore, such structures negatively affected the antioxidant defense system of E. coli, B. cereus, and S. epidermidis through the induction of oxidative stress, leading to cell death. The most robust effects were found for nanocomposites in which the carrier was treated for an extended period in a microwave field.

Abstract
Chitosan and its derivatives are widely used in vaccine adjuvants and delivery systems. Vaccine antigens encapsulated in or conjugated onto N-2-hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan/N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan nanoparticles (N-2-HACC/CMCS NPs) induce strong cellular, humoral, and mucosal immune responses, but the mechanism of action is not fully understood. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the molecular mechanism of composite NPs by upregulating the cGAS-STING signalling pathway to enhance the cellular immune response. We showed that the N-2-HACC/CMCS NPs could be taken up by RAW264.7 cells and produced high levels of IL-6, IL-12p40, and TNF-α. The N-2-HACC/CMCS NPs activated BMDCs, promoted Th1 responses, and enhanced the expression of cGAS, TBK1, IRF3, and STING, as further demonstrated by qRT-PCR and western blotting. Moreover, the NP-induced expression of I-IFNs, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α in macrophages was closely related to cGAS-STING. These findings provide a reference for chitosan derivative nanomaterials as vaccine adjuvants and delivery systems and demonstrate that N-2-HACC/CMCS NPs can engage the STING-cGAS pathway to trigger the innate immune response.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 634:323-335.

Abstract
Cytotoxicity of nanoparticles is routinely characterized by biochemical assays such as cell viability and membrane integrity assays. However, these approaches overlook cellular biophysical properties including changes in the actin cytoskeleton, cell stiffness, and cell morphology, particularly when cells are exposed to "non-cytotoxic" doses of nanoparticles. Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 nanoparticles (ZIF-8 NPs), a member of metal-organic framework family, has received increasing interest in various fields such as environmental and biomedical sciences. ZIF-8 NPs may enter the blood circulation system after unintended oral and inhalational exposure or intended intravenous injection for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, yet the effect of ZIF-8 NPs on vascular endothelial cells is not well understood. Here, the biophysical impact of "non-cytotoxic" dose ZIF-8 NPs on human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) is investigated. We demonstrate that "non-cytotoxic" doses of ZIF-8 NPs, pre-defined by a series of biochemical assays, can increase the endothelial permeability of HAEC monolayers by causing cell junction disruption and intercellular gap formation, which can be attributed to actin reorganization within adjacent HAECs. Nanomechanical atomic force microscopy and super resolution fluorescence microscopy further confirm that "non-cytotoxic" doses of ZIF-8 NPs change the actin structure and cell morphology of HAECs at the single cell level. Finally, the underlying mechanism of actin reorganization induced by the "non-cytotoxic" dose ZIF-8 NPs is elucidated. Together, this study indicates that the "non-cytotoxic" doses of ZIF-8 NPs, intentionally or unintentionally introduced into blood circulation, may still pose a threat to human health, considering increased endothelial permeability is essential to the progression of a variety of diseases. From a broad view of cytotoxicity evaluation, it is important to consider the biophysical properties of cells, since they can serve as novel and more sensitive markers to assess nanomaterial's cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is used in a variety of scientific, medical, and research domains. It is significant to mention that there are negative and severe repercussions of nanotechnology on both individuals and the environment. The toxic effect of nanoparticles exerted on living beings is termed as nanotoxicity. Nanoparticles are synthesized by various methods such as chemical, biological, physical, etc. These nanoparticles’ nanotoxicity has been observed to vary depending on the synthesis process, precursors, size of the particles, etc. Nanoparticles can enter the cell in different ways and can cause cytotoxic effects. In this review, the toxicity caused in the reproductive system and the role of the antioxidants against the nanotoxicity are briefly explained.

Abstract
Emerging nanoscience allows us to take advantage of the improved evolutionary components and apply today’s advanced characterization and fabrication techniques to solve environmental and biological problems. Despite the promise that nanotechnology will improve our lives, the potential risks of technology remain largely uncertain. The lack of information on bio-impacts and the absence of consistent standards are the limitations of using metal-based nanoparticles (mNPs) for existing applications. To analyze the role played by the mNPs physicochemical characteristics and tactics to protect live beings, the field of nanotoxicology nowadays is focused on collecting and analyzing data from in vitro and in vivo investigations. The degree of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress caused by material nanoparticles (NPs) depends on many factors, such as size, shape, chemical composition, etc. These characteristics enable NPs to enter cells and interact with biological macromolecules and cell organelles, resulting in oxidative damage, an inflammatory response, the development of mitochondrial dysfunction, damage to genetic material, or cytotoxic effects. This report explored the mechanisms and cellular signaling cascades of mNPs-induced oxidative stress and the relevant health consequences.

Abstract
Plant-mediated metallic nanoparticles have beenreported for a diversified range of applications in biological sciences. In the present study, we propose the Polianthes tuberosa flower as a reducing and stabilizing agent for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (PTAgNPs). The PTAgNPs were exclusively characterized using UV-Visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy, zeta potential, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies. In a biological assay, we investigated the antibacterial and anticancer activity of silver nanoparticles in the A431 cell line. The PTAgNPs demonstrated a dose-dependent activity in E. coli and S. aureus, suggesting the bactericidal nature of AgNPs. The PTAgNPs exhibited dose-dependent toxicity in the A431 cell line, with an IC50 of 54.56 µg/mL arresting cell growth at the S phase, as revealed by flow cytometry analysis. The COMET assay revealed 39.9% and 18.15 severities of DNA damage and tail length in the treated cell line, respectively. Fluorescence staining studies indicate that PTAgNPs cause reactive oxygen species (ROS) and trigger apoptosis. This research demonstrates that synthesized silver nanoparticles have a significant effect on inhibiting the growth of melanoma cells and other forms of skin cancer. The results show that these particles can cause apoptosis or cell death in malignant tumor cells. This suggests that they could be used to treat skin cancers without harming normal tissues.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are crystal-like organic structures such as cartography buildings prepared from appropriately pre-designed construction block precursors. Moreover, after the expansion of the first COF in 2005, numerous researchers have been developing different materials for versatile applications such as sensing/imaging, cancer theranostics, drug delivery, tissue engineering, wound healing, and antimicrobials. COFs have harmonious pore size, enduring porosity, thermal stability, and low density. In addition, a wide variety of functional groups could be implanted during their construction to provide desired constituents, including antibodies and enzymes. The reticular organic frameworks comprising porous hybrid materials connected via a covalent bond have been studied for improving wound healing and dressing applications due to their long-standing antibacterial properties. Several COF-based systems have been planned for controlled drug delivery with wound healing purposes, targeting drugs to efficiently inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms at the wound spot. In addition, COFs can be deployed for combinational therapy using photodynamic and photothermal antibacterial therapy along with drug delivery for healing chronic wounds and bacterial infections.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) are not only employed in many biomedical applications in an engineered form, but also occur in our environment, in a more hazardous form. NPs interact with the immune system through various pathways and can lead to a myriad of different scenarios, ranging from their quiet removal from circulation by macrophages without any impact for the body, to systemic inflammatory effects and immuno-toxicity. In the latter case, the function of the immune system is affected by the presence of NPs. This review describes, how both the innate and adaptive immune system are involved in interactions with NPs, together with the models used to analyse these interactions. These models vary between simple 2D in vitro models, to in vivo animal models, and also include complex all human organ on chip models which are able to recapitulate more accurately the interaction in the in vivo situation. Thereafter, commonly encountered NPs in both the environment and in biomedical applications and their possible effects on the immune system are discussed in more detail. Not all effects of NPs on the immune system are detrimental; in the final section, we review several promising strategies in which the immune response towards NPs can be exploited to suit specific applications such as vaccination and cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have garnered considerable scientific attention in recent years due to their diagnostic and therapeutic applications in cancer. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 MNPs) on the induction of apoptosis in human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line (HT-29) cells. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the mechanisms of apoptosis induced by Fe3O4 MNPs following MTT assay and to determine the optimal dose of 2.5 g/mL for inducing apoptosis in HT-29 cells. In HT-29 cells, Fe3O4 MNPs increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), calcium ion (Ca2+), and DNA damage. Additionally, the Fe3O4 MNPs significantly increased caspase 3 and 9 expression and decreased Bcl-2 expression at the protein and mRNA levels when compared to the control group (P = 0.0001). Fe3O4 MNPs also induced apoptosis in cancer cells by increasing the level of (ROS) and intracellular Ca2+, followed by an increase in caspase 3 and 9 expression and a decrease in Bcl-2 expression and direct DNA damage. Fe3O4 MNPs are an appropriate choice for colon cancer treatment based on their cell toxicity and induction of apoptosis in HT29 cells.

Abstract
In the present study, tin oxide (SnO2) was synthesized by advocating the principles of green chemistry for the photo-mediated degradation of pollutants, antimicrobial, and as an antitumor agent. Bioactive SnO2 (nanorods & nanospheres) were fabricated using Tinospora crispa stem extract (TCSE) via sol-gel technique and characterized extensively. XRD, UV-VIS, FTIR, and XPS studies confirmed the formation of crystalline and well stoichiometric pure phase of SnO2 nanostructures with optical bandgap 3.2 to 3.5 eV. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results demonstrated the effect of secondary phytoconstituents on the shape of SnO2 in a concentration dependent manner. The morphological variations in the obtained nanostructures attributed to the nucleation density and coalescence effect leading to the formation of nanorods with an average diameter 23-25 nm whereas the average particle size of the nanospheres obtained was found to be 23-30 nm. The zeta potential value of SnO2 nanorods was high (- 58.9 mV) indicating the higher stability compared to nanospheres (- 15.6 mV). The SnO2 nanostructures were investigated for the simultaneous degradation of methylene blue with degradation efficiency of 92.3% and 47.3% for rhodamine B in mono system and 72.3%, 47.7% respectively for binary dye system. The anticancer activity of SnO2 nanorods explored against human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells revealed a concentration dependent cytotoxic effect reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced cell death. Additionally, efficient antibacterial activity of SnO2 was established using E.coli. Multifaceted applications of Tinospora crispa stem extract mediated SnO2 nanostructures.

Abstract
Over the years, advancement in ceramic-based dental restorative materials has led to the development of monolithic zirconia with increased translucency. The monolithic zirconia fabricated from nano-sized zirconia powders is shown to be superior in physical properties and more translucent for anterior dental restorations. Most in vitro studies on monolithic zirconia have focused mainly on the effect of surface treatment or the wear of the material, while the nanotoxicity of this material is yet to be explored. Hence, this research aimed to assess the biocompatibility of yttria-stabilized nanozirconia (3-YZP) on the three-dimensional oral mucosal models (3D-OMM). The 3D-OMMs were constructed using human gingival fibroblast (HGF) and immortalized human oral keratinocyte cell line (OKF6/TERT-2), co-cultured on an acellular dermal matrix. On day 12, the tissue models were exposed to 3-YZP (test) and inCoris TZI (IC) (reference material). The growth media were collected at 24 and 48 h of exposure to materials and assessed for IL-1β released. The 3D-OMMs were fixed with 10% formalin for the histopathological assessments. The concentration of the IL-1β was not statistically different between the two materials for 24 and 48 h of exposure (p = 0.892). Histologically, stratification of epithelial cells was formed without evidence of cytotoxic damage and the epithelial thickness measured was the same for all model tissues. The excellent biocompatibility of nanozirconia, as evidenced by the multiple endpoint analyses of the 3D-OMM, may indicate the potential of its clinical application as a restorative material.

Abstract
Antimicrobial silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are popular in consumer and industrial products, leading to increasing concentrations in the environment. We tested whether exposure to AgNPs could be detrimental to a microbe, its host plant, and their symbiotic relationship. When subjected to 10 µg/mL AgNPs, growth of Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA 110 was halted. Axenic nitrogen-fertilized Glycine max seedlings were unaffected by 2.5 µg/mL of 30 nm AgNPs, but growth was inhibited with the same dose of 16 nm AgNPs. With 2.5 µg/mL AgNPs, biomass of inoculated plants was 50% of the control. Bacteroids were not found in nodules on plants treated with 2.5 µg/mL AgNPs and plants given 0.5-2.5 µg/mL AgNPs had 40-65% decreased nitrogen fixation. In conclusion, AgNPs not only interfere with general plant and bacterial growth but also inhibit nodule development and bacterial nitrogen fixation. We should be mindful of not releasing AgNPs to the environment or to agricultural land.

Scaling-up strategies for controllable biosynthetic ZnO NPs using cell free-extract of endophytic Streptomyces albus: characterization, statistical optimization, and biomedical activities evaluation. Sci Rep 2023; 13:3200.

Abstract
In this study, we identified a suitable precursor and good cellular compartmentalization for enhancing bioactive metabolites to produce biosynthetic zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs). An effective medium for cultivating endophytic Streptomyces albus strain E56 was selected using several optimized approaches in order to maximize the yield of biosynthetic ZnO NPs. The highest biosynthetic ZnO NPs yield (4.63 g/L) was obtained when pipetting the mixed cell-free fractions with 100 mM of zinc sulfate as a precursor. The generation of biosynthetic ZnO NPs was quickly verified using a colored solution (white color) and UV-Visible spectroscopy (maximum peak, at 320 nm). On a small scale, the Taguchi method was applied to improve the culture medium for culturing the strain E56. As a result, its cell-dry weight was 3.85 times that of the control condition. And then the biosynthesis of ZnO NPs (7.59 g/L) was increased by 1.6 times. Furthermore, by using the Plackett-Burman design to improve the utilized biogenesis pathway, the biosynthesis of ZnO NPs (18.76 g/L) was increased by 4.3 times. To find the best growth production line, we used batch and fed batch fermentation modes to gradually scale up biomass output. All kinetics of studied cell growth were evaluated during fed-batch fermentation as follows: biomass yield was 271.45 g/L, yield coefficient was 94.25 g/g, and ZnO NPs yield was 345.32 g/L. In vitro, the effects of various dosages of the controllable biosynthetic ZnO NPs as antimicrobial and anticancer agents were also investigated. The treatments with controllable biosynthetic ZnO NPs had a significant impact on all the examined multidrug-resistant human pathogens as well as cancer cells.

Abstract
Particulate matter, including iron nanoparticles, is one of the constituents of ambient air pollution. We assessed the effect of iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles on the structure and function of the brain of rats. Electron microscopy showed Fe2O3 nanoparticles in the tissues of olfactory bulbs but not in the basal ganglia of the brain after their subchronic intranasal administration. We observed an increase in the number of axons with damaged myelin sheaths and in the proportion of pathologically altered mitochondria in the brains of the exposed animals against the background of almost stable blood parameters. We conclude that the central nervous system can be a target for toxicity of low-dose exposure to Fe2O3 nanoparticles.

Biological mechanism of cell oxidative stress and death during short-term exposure to nano CuO. Sci Rep 2023; 13:2326.

Abstract
It is well known that copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) are heavily toxic on in vitro systems. In human alveolar epithelial cells, the mechanism of toxicity is mostly related to oxidative insults, coming from intracellularly dissolved copper ions, finally leading to apoptotic or autophagic cell death. Our hypothesis is based on possible early oxidative events coming from specific NP surface reactivity able to undermine the cell integrity and to drive cell to death, independently from Lysosomal-Enhanced Trojan Horse mechanism. Two types of CuO NPs, with different oxidative potential, were selected and tested on A549 cells for 1 h and 3 h at 10, 25, 50 and 100 µg/ml. Cells were then analyzed for viability and oxidative change of the proteome. Oxidative by-products were localized by immunocytochemistry and cell-NP interactions characterized by confocal and electron microscopy techniques. The results show that CuO NPs induced oxidative changes soon after 1 h exposure as revealed by the increase in protein carbonylation and reduced-protein-thiol oxidation. In parallel, cell viability significantly decreased, as shown by MTT assay. Such effects were higher for CuO NPs with more crystalline defects and with higher ROS production than for fully crystalline NPs. At these exposure times, although NPs efficiently interacted with cell surface and were taken up by small endocytic vesicles, no ion dissolution was visible inside the lysosomal compartment and no effects were produced by extracellularly dissolved copper ions. In conclusion, a specific NP surface-dependent oxidative cell injury was demonstrated. More detailed studies are required to understand which targets precociously react with CuO NPs, but these results introduce new paradigms for the toxicity of the metal-based NPs, beyond the Lysosomal-Enhanced Trojan horse-related mechanism, and open-up new opportunities to investigate the interactions and effects at the bio-interface for designing safer as well as more effective CuO-based biocides.

Abstract
The application of nanotechnology in the present era has substantial impact on different industrial and medical fields. However, the advancement in nanotechnology for potential therapeutic and consumer benefits has been an anxious cause regarding the probable hazardous consequences of these molecules in biological systems and the environment. The toxic effects can perturb the physiologic system broadly and reproductive function and fertility specifically. Despite engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) having a wide range of applications, toxicological investigations of the probable ramifications of ENMs on the reproductive systems of mammals and fertility remains in its nascence. Complication in the male reproductive system is quite a pertinent issue in today's world which comprises of benign prostatic enlargement, prostate cancer, and unhealthy sperm production. The therapeutic drugs should not only be active in minimum dose but also site-specific in action, criteria being met by nanomedicines. Nanomedicine therapy is promising but encompasses the chances of adverse effects of being cytotoxic and generating oxidative stress. These hurdles can be overcome by creating coated nanoparticles with organic substances, modification of shape and size, and synthesizing biocompatible green nanoparticles. This review attempts to look into the applications of most widely used metals like zinc, titanium, silver, and gold nanoparticles in the therapy of the male reproductive system, their prospective harmful effects, and the way out to create a safe therapeutic system by specific modifications of these metal and metal oxide nanoparticles.

Abstract
Bacterial infections can threaten human health. Drug-resistant bacteria have become a challenge because of the excessive use of drugs. We summarize the current metallic antibacterial materials, especially Fe-based materials, for efficiently killing bacteria. The possible antibacterial mechanisms of metallic antibacterial agents are classified into interactions with bacterial proteins, iron metabolism, catalytic activity, and combinations of magnetic, photodynamic, and photothermal effects. This review will inspire the development of novel Fe-based antibacterial agents for clinical settings.

[PMID: 36608887 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.137754] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2022] [Revised: 11/27/2022] [Accepted: 01/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
In recent years, copper oxide nanoparticles (CONPs) have gained considerable importance in ecotoxicology studies. CONP ecotoxicity studies on amphibians are limited, particularly on Duttaphrynus melanostictus (D. melanostictus) tadpoles, and most CONP ecotoxicity studies have shown developmental effects on amphibians. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the ecotoxicity of CONPs in D. melanostictus tadpoles by assessing multi-biomarkers including bioaccumulation, antioxidants, biochemical, haematological, immunological and oxidative stress biomarkers. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were used to characterize the morphology and physicochemical properties of CONPs. After 30 d of the experiment, blood and organs were collected to measure the levels of multiple biomarkers. The dissolution rate of copper ions in exposed media was observed in all studied groups. According to the results, significant (p < 0.05) increase in copper ion bioaccumulation (blood, liver and kidney), oxidative stress and biochemical biomarkers in the blood serum of CONPs exposed tadpoles compared to control tadpoles, which was accompanied by significant variations in morphological and haematological parameters. In contrast to the untreated tadpoles, the CONPs-exposed tadpoles showed statistically significant (p < 0.05) decreases in antioxidants and immunological indices of blood serum. Based on our results, we concluded that the ecotoxicity of CONPs is due to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can cause oxidative stress in tadpoles, resulting in impairments. According to our knowledge, the present study was the first to use a multi-biomarker ecotoxicity approach on D. melanostictus tadpoles that could be used as an ecological bioindicator to assess aquatic toxicity.

Abstract
Magnetic nanosystems represent promising alternatives to the traditional diagnostic and treatment procedures available for different pathologies. In this work, a series of biological tests are proposed, aiming to validate a magnetic nanoplatform for Kaposi's sarcoma treatment. The selected nanosystems were polyethylene glycol-coated iron oxide nanoparticles (MAG.PEG), which were prepared by the hydrothermal method. Physicochemical characterization was performed to verify their suitable physicochemical properties to be administered in vivo. Exhaustive biological assays were conducted, aiming to validate this platform in a specific biomedical field related to viral oncogenesis diseases. As a first step, the MAG.PEG cytotoxicity was evaluated in a cellular model of Kaposi's sarcoma. By phase contrast microscopy, it was found that cell morphology remained unchanged regardless of the nanoparticles' concentration (1-150 µg mL-1). The results, arising from the crystal violet technique, revealed that the proliferation was also unaffected. In addition, cell viability analysis by MTS and neutral red assays revealed a significant increase in metabolic and lysosomal activity at high concentrations of MAG.PEG (100-150 µg mL-1). Moreover, an increase in ROS levels was observed at the highest concentration of MAG.PEG. Second, the iron quantification assays performed by Prussian blue staining showed that MAG.PEG cellular accumulation is dose dependent. Furthermore, the presence of vesicles containing MAG.PEG inside the cells was confirmed by TEM. Finally, the MAG.PEG steering was achieved using a static magnetic field generated by a moderate power magnet. In conclusion, MAG.PEG at a moderate concentration would be a suitable drug carrier for Kaposi's sarcoma treatment, avoiding adverse effects on normal tissues. The data included in this contribution appear as the first stage in proposing this platform as a suitable future theranostic to improve Kaposi's sarcoma therapy.

Abstract
This study mainly deals with an effective one-pot solvothermal synthetic pathway for the preparation of uniformly dispersed zirconium oxide nanoparticles on the flattened rough surface of reduced graphene oxide (ZrO2/rGO NCs) using the aqueous leaf extract of Andrographis paniculata. After obtaining detailed information on the preparation and characterization, the anticancer activity of the synthesized ZrO2/rGO nanocrystals (NCs) was evaluated on two human cancer cell lines (A549 and HCT116) along with one normal human cell line (hMSC). The 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assays revealed that ZrO2/rGO NCs exhibited a dose-dependent cytotoxicity pattern. The cell viability (%) drastically decreases up to 96-98% after exposure to an optimal concentration of 10 ppm nanocomposites. Analysis of both the reactive oxygen species generation and the Annexin V-FTIC staining assays reveal that ZrO2/rGO NCs have the ability to induce apoptosis in A549 and HCT116 cell lines. Thus, the green synthesis of ZrO2/rGO NCs shows potential in developing efficient therapeutic agents for cancer therapy.

MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 28:molecules28020563. [PMID: 36677622 PMCID: PMC9862913 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28020563] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2022] [Revised: 12/28/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
Liposomes are among the most studied nanostructures. They are effective carriers of active substances both in the clinical field, such as delivering genes and drugs, and in the food industry, such as promoting the controlled release of bioactive substances, including food preservatives. However, toxicological screenings must be performed to ensure the safety of nanoformulations. In this study, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans was used as an alternative model to investigate the potential in vivo toxicity of nanoliposomes encapsulating the antimicrobial peptide nisin. The effects of liposomes containing nisin, control liposomes, and free nisin were evaluated through the survival rate, lethal dose (LD50), nematode development rate, and oxidative stress status by performing mutant strain, TBARS, and ROS analyses. Due to its low toxicity, it was not possible to experimentally determine the LD50 of liposomes. The survival rates of control liposomes and nisin-loaded liposomes were 94.3 and 73.6%, respectively. The LD50 of free nisin was calculated as 0.239 mg mL-1. Free nisin at a concentration of 0.2 mg mL-1 significantly affected the development of C. elegans, which was 25% smaller than the control and liposome-treated samples. A significant increase in ROS levels was observed after exposure to the highest concentrations of liposomes and free nisin, coinciding with a significant increase in catalase levels. The treatments induced lipid peroxidation as evaluated by TBARS assay. Liposome encapsulation reduces the deleterious effect on C. elegans and can be considered a nontoxic delivery system for nisin.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have been widely used in various materials including sunscreens, cosmetics, over-the-counter topical skin products, and pigments. As traces of the used ZnO NPs have been found in the kidney, it is crucial to uncover their potential risks. The aim of this study is to elucidate detrimental effects of ZnO NPs and the molecular mechanism behind their renal toxicity. Cytotoxic effects were measured by MTT assay after HK2 cells were exposed to ZnO NPs for 24 h and IC50 value was determined. ROS and intracellular Zn2+ levels were detected by flow cytometry, and localization of Zn2+ and lysosome was determined by confocal microscopy. Occurrence of autophagy and detection of autophagic flux were determined by Western blot and confocal microscopy, respectively. We performed unpaired student t test for two groups, and one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc for over three groups. ZnO NPs induced cell death in human renal proximal tubule epithelial cells, HK2. Cytosolic Zn2+ caused autophagy-mediated cell death rather than apoptosis. Cytosolic Zn2+ processed in lysosome was released by TRPML1, and inhibition of TRPML1 significantly decreased autophagic flux and cell death. The findings of this study suggest that ZnO NPs strongly induce autophagy-mediated cell death in human kidney cells. Controlling TRPML1 can be potentially used to prevent the kidney from ZnO NPs-induced toxicity.

Abstract
The global anxiety and economic crisis causes the deadly pandemic coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID 19) affect millions of people right now. Subsequently, this life threatened viral disease is caused due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, morbidity and mortality of infected patients are due to cytokines storm syndrome associated with lung injury and multiorgan failure caused by COVID 19. Thereafter, several methodological advances have been approved by WHO and US-FDA for the detection, diagnosis and control of this wide spreadable communicable disease but still facing multi-challenges to control. Herein, we majorly emphasize the current trends and future perspectives of nano-medicinal based approaches for the delivery of anti-COVID 19 therapeutic moieties. Interestingly, Nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with drug molecules or vaccines resemble morphological features of SARS-CoV-2 in their size (60–140 nm) and shape (circular or spherical) that particularly mimics the virus facilitating strong interaction between them. Indeed, the delivery of anti-COVID 19 cargos via a nanoparticle such as Lipidic nanoparticles, Polymeric nanoparticles, Metallic nanoparticles, and Multi-functionalized nanoparticles to overcome the drawbacks of conventional approaches, specifying the site-specific targeting with reduced drug loading and toxicities, exhibit their immense potential. Additionally, nano-technological based drug delivery with their peculiar characteristics of having low immunogenicity, tunable drug release, multidrug delivery, higher selectivity and specificity, higher efficacy and tolerability switch on the novel pathway for the prevention and treatment of COVID 19.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles are released into marine environments from industrial, medical and consumer uses sparking concerns about their potential ecotoxicological effects. Ecological hazard assessment of nZnO in marine ecosystems is hindered by the lack of understanding of the potential interactive effects of nZnO toxicity with other common abiotic stressors, such as salinity fluctuations, in marine organisms. To close this gap in our knowledge, we carried out a comprehensive biomarker-based assessment of the combined effects of salinity and nZnO in a sentinel marine bivalve, the blue mussels Mytilus edulis. The mussels were exposed for 21 days to clean seawater (control), an environmentally relevant concentration (100 μg Zn l-1) of nZnO or dissolved Zn (to identify the toxic effects attributable to Zn2+ toxicity) under the normal (15), low (5) and fluctuating (5-15) salinity regimes. The selected molecular and biochemical markers focused on the oxidative stress, apoptosis, detoxification system and inflammation in the gills and the digestive gland of the mussels. Biomarker analysis showed different effects of nZnO and dissolved Zn on biomarkers of oxidative stress, xenobiotic detoxification and apoptosis but similar effects of both pollutants on the levels of metallothioneins and inflammatory markers. Exposure to nZnO led to elevated levels of lipid peroxidation, upregulation of p53 and p38 stress kinases and apoptosis-related genes, most notably in the gills. Exposure to dissolved Zn led to accumulation of protein carbonyls and activated redox-sensitive detoxification enzymes (NADPH-P450 reductase and glutathione-S-transferase) in the mussels. The ambient salinity had significant effects the cellular adverse effects of nZnO in the mussels. The nZnO-induced cellular stress was detectable under the normal (15) and fluctuating (5-15) salinity conditions in the studied brackish water population of the mussels. At low salinity (5), nZnO toxicity signal was almost completely dampened. These findings indicate that chronic osmotic stress close to the tolerance limits of M. edulis prevails over the effects of the environmentally relevant nZnO and dissolved Zn concentrations in combined exposures. These stressor interactions might ameliorate the cellular toxicity of nZnO in the mussels but limit applicability of cellular stress biomarkers for detecting the toxic effects of nanopollutants in low salinity habitats.

Abstract
Mercury is one of the most toxic heavy metals causing harmful effects on the human body; meanwhile, mercury is found in some face cream products to give a whitening effect. The upper limit concentration of mercury in skin-lightening products defined by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is under one mg/L as Hg2+. A new green analytical spectrophotometric method for mercury analysis has been developed by employing a biological reagent from fruit skin extract of robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) as a bioreductor for silver ions as well as a stabilizer for the AgNPs product. The detection principle of this method is based on the decrease of the color intensity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) after the addition of Hg2+ ions due to the re-oxidization of the AgNPs by Hg2+ ions to colorless Ag+ ions. To achieve the most significant sensitivity, linearity of measurement, and validity, the method was optimized toward the volume of AgNPs and reaction time. In this research, the synthesized AgNPs were also characterized by UV-Vis Spectrometry as well as a particle size analyzer (PSA) to determine the size of nanoparticles. The result showed that the optimum conditions were attained at 4 mL AgNPs solution and 3-min reaction resulting in a linear measurement of Hg2+ in the range of 0-15 mg/L with LOD and LOQ of 0.039 and 0.130 mg/L, respectively. This method is quite selective and has been validated by applying it to real face cream samples with satisfactory results supported by average recoveries of close to 100%.

Abstract
Innovative drug delivery systems based on iron oxide nanoparticles (INPs) has generated a lot of interest worldwide and have prime biomedical benefits in anticancer therapy. There are still issues reported regarding the stability, absorption, and toxicity of iron oxide nanoparticles (INPs) when administered due to its rapid surface oxidation and agglomeration with blood proteins. To solve this problem, we have synthesized trehalose-coated stabilized iron oxide nanoparticles (TINPs) by a co-precipitation technique. The surface coating of INPs with trehalose helps to improve the stability, prevents protein binding, and increase absorption uptake inside the body. Developed TINPs was then loaded with anticancer drug cytarabine by chemical crosslinking encapsulation method using suitable solvent. Engineered cytarabine-loaded trehalose-coated stabilized iron oxide nanoparticles (CY-TINPs) were optimized for particle size, zeta potential (-13.03 mV), and solid-state characterization such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscope (TEM) studies. The particle size of 50 nm was achieved for developed CY-TINPs. The developed CY-TINPs was further evaluated for in vitro cell line investigations which confirmed potential cytotoxic activity. Developed CY-TINPs show remarkable enhancement in in vivo pharmacokinetic parameters Cmax as 425.26 ± 2.11 and AUC0-72 as 11,546.64 ± 139.82 as compared to pure drug. Compared to traditional drug delivery, the CY-TINPs formulation can effectively delay release, improve bioavailability, and boost cytotoxic activity against tumors.

Abstract
In biomedical implant technology, nanosurface such as titania nanotube arrays (TNA) could provide better cellular adaptation, especially for long-term tissue acceptance response. Mechanotransduction activities of TNA nanosurface could involve the cytoskeleton remodeling mechanism. However, there is no clear insight into TNA mechano-cytoskeleton remodeling activities, especially computational approaches. Epithelial cells have played critical interface between biomedical implant surface and tissue acceptance, particularly for long-term interaction. Therefore, this study investigates genomic responses that are responsible for cell-TNA mechano-stimulus using epithelial cells model. Findings suggested that cell-TNA interaction may improve structural and extracellular matrix (ECM) support on the cells as an adaptive response toward the nanosurface topography. More specifically, the surface topography of the TNA might improve the cell polarity and adhesion properties via the interaction of the plasma membrane and intracellular matrix responses. TNA nanosurface might engross the cytoskeleton remodeling activities for multidirectional cell movement and cellular protrusions on TNA nanosurface. These observations are supported by the molecular docking profiles that determine proteins' in silico binding mechanism on TNA. This active cell-surface revamping would allow cells to adapt to develop a protective barrier toward TNA nanosurface, thus enhancing biocompatibility properties distinctly for long-term interaction. The findings from this study will be beneficial toward nano-molecular knowledge of designing functional nanosurface technology for advanced medical implant applications.

Abstract
Background. Due to their very small size, nanomaterials, in particular cucurbiturils, have unique physical and chemical properties that find their application in medicine. However, the toxicity of cucurbiturils is not fully understood; in particular, we are interested in the immunological safety of their use. One of the mechanisms of nanotoxicity is the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by macrophages and neutrophils. Hyperproduction of ROS can lead to oxidative stress and further damage to cell DNA with loss of physiological function and development of pathology. The aim. Evaluation of the effect of cucurbit[n]urils (n = 6, 7, 8) on the production of reactive oxygen species by mice macrophages and neutrophils. Materials and methods. F1 hybrid mice (CBAxC57Bl/6) aged 2 months (n = 11) were used in the work. Evaluation of superoxide radical production by peritoneal mouse neutrophils and macrophages was carried out by spectrophotometric method for determining the reduction of p-nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) to formazan. Results. It was shown that CB[6] and CB[7] at concentrations of 0.5 and 0.3 mM do not have an inhibitory effect on ROS synthesis, but, on the contrary, significantly increase ROS production by macrophages. In addition, CB[6] 0.3 mM increases the level of ROS in neutrophils. Conclusion. Cucurbiturils can lead to an increase in the production of ROS in immunocompetent cells, depending on the concentration used (0.3 mM and higher).

Abstract
Molybdenum trioxide nanoparticles (MoO3 NPs) are extensively used in the biomedical, agricultural, and engineering fields that may increase exposure and adverse health effects to the human population. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a possible molecular mechanism leading to cell damage and death following pulmonary exposure to inhaled MoO3 NPs. Animals were separated into four groups: two control groups exposed to room air or aerosolized water and two treated groups exposed to aerosolized MoO3 NPs with a concentration of 5 mg/m3 NPs (4 h/day for eight days) and given a one-day (T-1) or seven-day (T-7) recovery period post exposure. Pulmonary toxicity was evaluated with total and differential cell counts. Increases were seen in total cell numbers, neutrophils, and multinucleated macrophages in the T-1 group, with increases in lymphocytes in the T-7 group (*P < 0.05). To evaluate the mechanism of toxicity, protein levels of Beclin-1, light chain 3 (LC3)-I/II, P-62, cathepsin B, NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, interleukin (IL)-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were assessed in lung tissue. Immunoblot analyses indicated 1.4- and 1.8-fold increases in Beclin-1 in treated groups (T-1 and T-7, respectively, *P < 0.05), but no change in protein levels of LC3-I/II in either treated group. The levels of cathepsin B were 2.8- and 2.3-fold higher in treated lungs (T-1 and T-7, respectively, *P < 0.05), the levels of NLRP3 had a fold increase of 2.5 and 3.6 (T-1 *P < 0.05, T-7 **P < 0.01, respectively), and the levels of caspase-1 indicated a 3.8- and 3.0-fold increase in treated lungs (T-1 and T-7, respectively, *P < 0.05). Morphological changes were studied using light and electron microscopy showing alterations to airway epithelium and the alveoli, along with particle internalization in macrophages. The results from this study may indicate that inhalation exposure to MoO3 NPs may interrupt the autophagic flux and induce cytotoxicity and lung injury through pyroptosis cell death and activation of caspase-1.

Abstract
Although, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZRTs) as an anti-cancer agent have been the subject of numerous studies, none of the reports has investigated the impact of the reaction entry time of ion-carriers on the preparation of ZRTs. Therefore, we synthesized variants of ZRTs by extending the entry time of NaOH (that acts as a carrier of hydroxyl ions) in the reaction mixture. The anti-proliferative action, morphological changes, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and nuclear apoptosis of ZRTs on human A431 skin carcinoma cells were observed. The samples revealed crystallinity and purity by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of ZRT-1 (5 min ion carrier entry) and ZRT-2 (10 min ion carrier entry) revealed microtubule like morphology. On prolonging the entry time for ion carrier (NaOH) introduction in the reaction mixture, a relative ascent in the aspect ratio was seen. The typical ZnO band with a slight shift in the absorption maxima was evident with UV-visible spectroscopy. Both ZRT-1 and ZRT-2 exhibited non-toxic behavior as evident by RBC lysis assay. Additionally, ZRT-2 showed better anti-cancer potential against A431 cells as seen by MTT assay, ROS generation and chromatin condensation analyses. At 25 μM of ZRT-2, 5.56% cells were viable in MTT test, ROS production was enhanced to 166.71%, while 33.0% of apoptotic cells were observed. The IC50 for ZRT-2 was slightly lower (6 μM) than that for ZRT-1 (8 μM) against A431 cells. In conclusion, this paper presents a modest, economical procedure to generate ZRT nano-structures exhibiting strong cytotoxicity against the A431 cell line, indicating that ZRTs may have application in combating cancer.

Abstract
CONTEXT Pinus densiflora Siebold & Zucc. (Pinaceae) needle extracts ameliorate oxidative stress, but research into their anti-inflammatory effects is limited. OBJECTIVE To investigate antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of a Pinus densiflora needles (PINE) ethanol extract in vitro and in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS We measured levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and inflammatory mediators in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells at various PINE concentrations (25, 50 and 100 μg/mL; but 6.25, 12.5 and 25 μg/mL for interleukin-1β and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)). Thirty ICR mice were randomized to six groups: vehicle, control, PINE pre-treatment (0.1, 0.3 and 1 mg/left ear for 10 min followed by arachidonic acid treatment for 30 min) and dexamethasone. The posttreatment ear thickness and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity were measured. RESULTS PINE 100 μg/mL significantly decreased ROS (IC50, 70.93 μg/mL, p < 0.01), SOD (IC50, 30.99 μg/mL, p < 0.05), malondialdehyde (p < 0.01), nitric oxide (NO) (IC50, 27.44 μg/mL, p < 0.01) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (p < 0.05) levels. Interleukin-1β (p < 0.05) and PGE2 (p < 0.01) release decreased significantly with 25 μg/mL PINE. PINE 1 mg/ear inhibited LPS-stimulated expression of cyclooxygenase-2 and inducible NO synthase in RAW264.7 macrophages and significantly inhibited ear oedema (36.73-15.04% compared to the control, p < 0.01) and MPO activity (167.94-105.59%, p < 0.05). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS PINE exerts antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators. Identified flavonoids such as taxifolin and quercetin glucoside can be attributed to effect of PINE.

Abstract
The toxicity of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) has been the subject of conflicting reports, likely due to differences in the residuals and impurities that can make up to 30-60% of the material produced based on the manufacturing processes and purification employed. Four BNNTs manufactured by induction thermal plasma process with a gradient of BNNT purity levels achieved through sequential gas purification, water and solvent washing, allowed assessing the influence of these residuals/impurities on the toxicity profile of BNNTs. Extensive characterization including infrared and X-ray spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, size, charge, surface area, and density captured the alteration in physicochemical properties as the material went through sequential purification. The material from each step is screened using acellular and in vitro assays for evaluating general toxicity, mechanisms of toxicity, and macrophage function. As the material increased in purity, there are more high-aspect-ratio particulates and a corresponding distinct increase in cytotoxicity, nuclear factor-κB transcription, and inflammasome activation. There is no alteration in macrophage function after BNNT exposure with all purity grades. The cytotoxicity and mechanism of screening clustered with the purity grade of BNNTs, illustrating that greater purity of BNNT corresponds to greater toxicity.

Abstract
The potential use of nanomaterials in medicine offers opportunities for novel therapeutic approaches to treating complex disorders. For that reason, a new branch of science, named nanotoxicology, which aims to study the dangerous effects of nanomaterials on human health and on the environment, has recently emerged. However, the toxicity and risk associated with nanomaterials are unclear or not completely understood. The development of an adequate experimental strategy for assessing the toxicity of nanomaterials may include a rapid/express method that will reliably, quickly, and cheaply make an initial assessment. One possibility is the characterization of the hemocompatibility of nanomaterials, which includes their hemolytic activity as a marker. In this review, we consider various factors affecting the hemolytic activity of nanomaterials and draw the reader's attention to the fact that the formation of a protein corona around a nanoparticle can significantly change its interaction with the red cell. This leads us to suggest that the nanomaterial hemolytic activity in the buffer does not reflect the situation in the blood plasma. As a recommendation, we propose studying the hemocompatibility of nanomaterials under more physiologically relevant conditions, in the presence of plasma proteins in the medium and under mechanical stress.

Abstract
Carbon-based nanomaterials (CNMs) have attracted a growing interest over the last decades. They have become a material commonly used in industry, consumer products, water purification, and medicine. Despite this, the safety and toxic properties of different types of CNMs are still debatable. Multiple studies in recent years highlight the toxicity of CNMs in relation to aquatic organisms, including bacteria, microalgae, bivalves, sea urchins, and other species. However, the aspects that have significant influence on the toxic properties of CNMs in the aquatic environment are often not considered in research works and require further study. In this work, we summarized the current knowledge of colloidal behavior, transformation, and biodegradation of different types of CNMs, including graphene and graphene-related materials, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, and carbon quantum dots. The other part of this work represents an overview of the known mechanisms of CNMs' biodegradation and discusses current research works relating to the biodegradation of CNMs in aquatic species. The knowledge about the biodegradation of nanomaterials will facilitate the development of the principals of "biodegradable-by-design" nanoparticles which have promising application in medicine as nano-carriers and represent lower toxicity and risks for living species and the environment.

Abstract
Despite their clinical success in drug delivery applications, the potential of theranostic nanomedicines is hampered by mechanistic uncertainty and a lack of science-informed regulatory guidance. Both the therapeutic efficacy and the toxicity of nanoformulations are tightly controlled by the complex interplay of the nanoparticle's physicochemical properties and the individual patient/tumor biology; however, it can be difficult to correlate such information with observed outcomes. Additionally, as nanomedicine research attempts to gradually move away from large-scale animal testing, the need for computer-assisted solutions for evaluation will increase. Such models will depend on a clear understanding of structure-activity relationships. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the field of cancer nanomedicine and provides a knowledge framework and foundational interaction maps that can facilitate future research, assessments, and regulation. By forming three complementary maps profiling nanobio interactions and pathways at different levels of biological complexity, a clear picture of a nanoparticle's journey through the body and the therapeutic and adverse consequences of each potential interaction are presented.

Abstract
Mangiferin (MGF) is a natural and valuable polyphenol found in significant levels in many plant species, including Cyclopia intermedia (C. intermedia). In a previous study, we synthesized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using MGF and a water extract of C. intermedia and reported that these AuNPs have very low cytotoxicity toward a human colon cancer (Caco-2) cell line. Although the study also showed that these biogenic AuNPs in combination with doxorubic (DOX) significantly augmented the cytotoxic effects of DOX in Caco-2 cells, the mechanism of the enhanced effect was not fully understood, and it was also not known if other cell lines would be sensitive to this co-treatment. In the present study, we examined the cytotoxicity of the co-treatment in Caski, HeLa, HT-29, KMST-6 and MDA-321 cell lines. Additionally, we investigated the mechanistic effects of this co-treatment in Caco-2 cells using several assays, including the adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the oxidative stress, the mitochondrial depolarization, the colony formation, the APOPercentage and the DNA fragmentation assays. We also assessed the intracellular uptake of the biogenic AuNPs. The study showed that the biogenic AuNPs were effectively taken up by the cancer cells, which, in turn, may have enhanced the sensitivity of Caco-2 cells to DOX. Moreover, the combination of the biogenic AuNPs and DOX caused a rapid depletion of ATP levels, increased mitochondrial depolarization, induced apoptosis, reduced the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inhibited the long-term survival of Caco-2 cells. Although the study provided some insight into the mechanism of cytotoxicity induced by the co-treatment, further mechanistic and molecular studies are required to fully elucidate the enhanced anticancer effect of the co-treatment.

Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of Porous Chitosan/Gelatin/Polycaprolactone Bone Scaffold Prepared by Microwave Foaming Method. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14214668. [PMID: 36365664 PMCID: PMC9658864 DOI: 10.3390/polym14214668] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 10/28/2022] [Accepted: 10/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Bone tissue may suffer from bone injury and bone defects due to accidents or diseases. Since the demand for autologous bone and allograft tissue far exceeds the supply, bone scaffolds have taken the lead. The use of bone scaffolds is one of the measures to help heal or regenerate bone tissue. Therefore, a new bone scaffold was proposed in this study, which has a simpler preparation process and stronger performance. This study proposes bone scaffolds with an attempt to use polymers that are synthesized separately with three types of minerals as the filler using the microwave foaming method as follows. A 0.1 wt% of montmorillonite (MMT), zinc oxide (ZnO), or titanium dioxide (TiO2) is added to chitosan (CS)/gelatin mixtures, respectively, after which sodium bicarbonate is added as a foaming agent, thereby forming porous gels. The polymer synthesized from three minerals was used as filler. The following microwave foaming method was adopted: 0.1 wt% MMT, ZnO, or TiO2 was added to the CS/gelatin mixture, and then sodium bicarbonate was added as a foaming agent to form a porous gel. Next, porous gels and polycaprolactone were combined in a self-made mold in order to form bone scaffolds. A stereo microscope is used to observe the morphology of bone scaffolds, after which the pore size analysis, pore connectivity, swell property, porosity, and compressive strength are tested, examining the effects of the mineral type on bone scaffolds. The test results indicate that with MMT being the filler and sodium bicarbonate being the foaming agent, the resulting bone scaffolds yield a porous structure with a pore size between 120 μm and 370 μm. Besides, the incorporation of polycaprolactone also provides samples of 1MCG-P, 2MCG-P, and 5MCG-P with a certain compressive strength of 150–170 MPa. To sum up, the test results substantiate that a combination of the microwave foaming method and MMT generates a porous structure for bone scaffolds (1MCG-P, 2MCG-P, and 5MCG-P), involving a porosity of 38%, an inter-connected porous structure, and the compressive strength that exceeds 150 MPa.

Abstract
The current investigation reports the synthesis of N-CDs using glucosamine, ascorbic acid, and ethylenediamine precursors by a simple hydrothermal technique. The formation of N-CDs was proved by various characterisation techniques such as X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer (FT-IR). The optical properties were investigated by fluorescence and UV-vis spectrophotometer. Also, N-CDs showed high selectivity in detecting the MTZ compared to several other analytes. However, the metronidazole serves as an antibiotic against several microbial diseases but also a genotoxic, carcinogenic to the human when used in excessive dosage. The synthesised N-CDs showed high selectivity in detecting the MTZ compared to several other analytes. Besides, the cytotoxicity of the N-CDs was studied to evaluate its toxicity against the HeLa cancer cells. It showed 65.6% cell viability and 34.3% toxicity against the cancerous cells, and similarly 71% of cells viability against H9C2 cells. Thus, the current investigation explores the promising selective sensing of N-CDs against MTZ, along with that, it proved its cytotoxicity against HeLa cancerous cells and non-toxicity against H9C2 cells. The synthesised CDs can be better MTZ sensors and anti-cancer agents on further development at the industrial scale.

Abstract
The alteration of organisms protein functions by engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) is dependent on the complex interplay between their inherent physicochemical properties (e.g., size, surface coating, shape) and environmental conditions (e.g., pH, organic matter). To date, there is increasing interest on the use of 'omics' approaches, such as proteomics, genomics, and others, to study ENPs-biomolecules interactions in aquatic organisms. However, although proteomics has recently been applied to investigate effects of ENPs and associated mechanisms in aquatic organisms, its use remain limited. Herein, proteomics techniques widely applied to investigate ENPs-protein interactions in aquatic organisms are reviewed. Data demonstrates that 2DE and mass spectrometry and/or their combination, thereof, are the most suitable techniques to elucidate ENPs-protein interactions. Furthermore, current status on ENPs and protein interactions, and possible mechanisms of nanotoxicity with emphasis on those that exert influence at protein expression levels, and key influencing factors on ENPs-proteins interactions are outlined. Most reported studies were done using synthetic media and essay protocols and had wide variability (not standardized); this may consequently limit data application in actual environmental systems. Therefore, there is a need for studies using realistic environmental concentrations of ENPs, and actual environmental matrixes (e.g., surface water) to aid better model development of ENPs-proteins interactions in aquatic systems.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have been widely employed from industrial to medical fields due to their small sizes and versatile characteristics. However, nanomaterials can also induce unexpected adverse effects on health. In particular, exposure of the nervous system to nanomaterials can cause serious neurological dysfunctions and neurodegenerative diseases. A number of studies have adopted various animal models to evaluate the neurotoxic effects of nanomaterials. Among them, zebrafish has become an attractive animal model for neurotoxicological studies due to several advantages, including the well-characterized nervous system, efficient genome editing, convenient generation of transgenic lines, high-resolution in vivo imaging, and an array of behavioral assays. In this review, we summarize recent studies on the neurotoxicological effects of nanomaterials, particularly engineered nanomaterials and nanoplastics, using zebrafish and discuss key findings with advantages and limitations of the zebrafish model in neurotoxicological studies.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 214:114152. [PMID: 36041537 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.114152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2022] [Revised: 08/15/2022] [Accepted: 08/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The present systematic review aimed to evaluate the associations between welding fumes exposure and changes in oxidative stress [superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA)] and DNA damage [8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and DNA-protein crosslink (DPC)] markers in professional welders (PROSPERO CRD42022298115). Six electronic bibliographic databases were searched from inception through September 2021 to identify observational epidemiological studies evaluating the association between welding fumes exposures and changes in oxidative stress and DNA damage in professional welders. Two reviewers independently assessed the risk of bias and certainty of the evidence. A narrative synthesis of results was conducted using the Synthesis Without Meta-analysis (SWiM) method. Pooled mean differences with 95% confidence intervals were calculated in a random-effects meta-analysis for the outcomes of interest in the review. From 450 studies identified through the search strategy, 14 observational epidemiological studies were included in the review. Most studies reported significantly higher welding fumes levels in welders than in controls. The narrative synthesis results of SOD showed a significant difference between welders and controls, while the meta-analysis results of MDA did not show a significant difference between the studied groups (MD = 0.26; 95% CI, -0.03, 0.55). The meta-analysis results of 8-OHdG (MD = 9.38; 95% CI, 0.55-18.21) and DPC (MD = 1.07; 95% CI, 0.14-2) revealed significantly differences between the studied groups. The included studies were at high risk of exclusion and confounding bias. The certainty of the evidence for oxidative stress and DNA damage results were very low and moderate, respectively. Exposure to welding fumes and metal particles is associated with DNA damage in professional welders, and 8-OHdG and DPC might be considered reliable markers to assess DNA damage resulting from exposure to welding fumes. We recommend, however, that the evaluation of oxidative stress resulting from welding fumes exposure not be solely based on MDA and SOD.

Abstract
This work aimed to study the toxic implications of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on the physio-biochemical responses of spring barley (Hordeum sativum L.). The experiments were designed in a hydroponic system, and H. sativum was treated with two concentrations of ZnO NPs, namely 300 and 2000 mg/L. The findings demonstrated that ZnO NPs prevent the growth of H. sativum through the modulation of the degree of oxidative stress and the metabolism of antioxidant enzymes. The results showed increased malondialdehyde (MDA) by 1.17- and 1.69-fold, proline by 1.03- and 1.09-fold, and catalase (CAT) by 1.4- and 1.6-fold in shoots for ZnO NPs at 300 and 2000 mg/L, respectively. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) increased by 2 and 3.3 times, ascorbate peroxidase (APOX) by 1.2 and 1.3 times, glutathione-s-transferase (GST) by 1.2 and 2.5 times, and glutathione reductase (GR) by 1.8 and 1.3 times in roots at 300 and 2000 mg/L, respectively. However, the level of δ-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) decreased by 1.4 and 1.3 times in roots and by 1.1 times in both treatments (nano-300 and nano-2000), respectively, indicating changes in the chlorophyll metabolic pathway. The outcomes can be utilized to create a plan of action for plants to withstand the stress brought on by the presence of NPs.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is directly responsible for more deaths per year than either HIV/AIDS or malaria and is predicted to incur a cumulative societal financial burden of at least $100 trillion between 2014 and 2050. Already heralded as one of the greatest threats to human health, the onset of the coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the prevalence of antimicrobial resistant bacterial infections due to factors including increased global antibiotic/antimicrobial use. Thus an urgent need for novel therapeutics to combat what some have termed the 'silent pandemic' is evident. This review acts as a repository of research and an overview of the novel therapeutic strategies being developed to overcome antimicrobial resistance, with a focus on self-assembling systems and nanoscale materials. The fundamental mechanisms of action, as well as the key advantages and disadvantages of each system are discussed, and attention is drawn to key examples within each field. As a result, this review provides a guide to the further design and development of antimicrobial systems, and outlines the interdisciplinary techniques required to translate this fundamental research towards the clinic.
