Biol Trace Elem Res 2024; 202:765-777. [PMID: 37191761 PMCID: PMC10764397 DOI: 10.1007/s12011-023-03700-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
Cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CFN) are employed in data storage, imaging, medication administration, and catalysis due to their superparamagnetic characteristics. The widespread use of CFN led to significantly increased exposure to people and the environment to these nanoparticles. Until now, there is not any published paper describing the adverse effect of repeated oral intake of this nanoformulation on rats' lungs. So, the current research aims to elucidate the pulmonary toxicity prompted by different concentrations of CFN in rats as well as to explore the mechanistic way of such toxicity. We used 28 rats that were divided equally into 4 groups. The control group received normal saline, and the experimental groups received CFN at dosage levels 0.05, 0.5, and 5 mg/kg bwt. Our findings revealed that CFN enhanced dose-dependent oxidative stress manifested by raising in the MDA levels and declining in the GSH content. The histopathological examination revealed interstitial pulmonary inflammation along with bronchial and alveolar damage in both 0.5 and 5 mg CFN given groups. All these lesions were confirmed by the immunohistochemical staining that demonstrated strong iNOS and Cox-2 protein expression. There was also a significant upregulation of TNFα, Cox-2, and IL-1β genes with downregulation of IL-10 and TGF-β genes. Additionally, the group receiving 0.05 mg CFN did not exhibit any considerable toxicity in all measurable parameters. We concluded that the daily oral intake of either 0.5 or 5 mg CFN, but not 0.05 mg, could induce pulmonary toxicity via NPs and/or its leached components (cobalt and iron)-mediated oxido-inflammatory stress. Our findings may help to clarify the mechanisms of pulmonary toxicity generated by these nanoparticles through outlining the standards for risk assessment in rats as a human model.

Abstract
Microalgae can use carbon sources in sludge extract prepared from sludge. Moreover, the high concentration of CO2 and the large number of carbon sources in the liquid phase will promote microalgae growth and metabolism. In this experiment, Tetradesmus obliquus was cultivated with sludge extract at 30% CO2. Algae liquid (the name used to describe the fertilizer made in this research) was further prepared as lettuce fertilizer. The effect of different times of microalgae culture (10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 days) on the fertilizer efficiency of the algae liquid was evaluated by lettuce hydroponic experiments. The findings indicate that lettuce cultivated in algae liquid collected on the 15th and 30th days exhibited superior performance in terms of growth, antioxidant capacity, and nutritional quality. We analyzed the experimental results in the context of microalgae metabolic mechanisms, aiming to contribute experience and data essential for the development of industrial microalgae fertilizer production.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases worldwide and has been responsible for millions of deaths. However, developing a satisfactory smart multifunctional material combining different strategies to kill cancer cells poses a challenge. This work aims at filling this gap by developing a composite material for cancer treatment through hyperthermia and drug release. With this purpose, magnetic nanoparticles were coated with a polymer matrix consisting of poly (L-co-D,L lactic acid-co-trimethylene carbonate) and a poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) triblock copolymer. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction confirmed magnetite to be the only iron oxide in the sample. Cytotoxicity and heat release assays on the hybrid nanoparticles were performed here for the first time. The heat induction results indicate that these new magnetic hybrid nanoparticles are capable of increasing the temperature by more than 5 °C, the minimal temperature rise required for being effectively used in hyperthermia treatments. The biocompatibility assays conducted under different concentrations, in the presence and in the absence of an external alternating current magnetic field, did not reveal any cytotoxicity. Therefore, the overall results indicate that the investigated hybrid nanoparticles have a great potential to be used as carrier systems for cancer treatment by hyperthermia.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the foremost cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Current clinical interventions include invasive approaches for progressed conditions and pharmacological assistance for initial stages, which has systemic side effects. Preventive, curative, diagnostic, and theranostic (therapeutic + diagnostic) approaches till date are not very useful in combating the ongoing CVD epidemic, which demands a promising efficient alternative approach. To combat the growing CVD outbreak globally, the ideal strategy is to make the therapeutic intervention least invasive and direct to the heart to reduce the bystander effects on other organs and increase the bioavailability of the therapeutics to the myocardium. The application of nanoscience and nanoparticle-mediated approaches have gained a lot of momentum because of their efficient passive and active myocardium targeting capability owing to their improved specificity and controlled release. This review provides extensive insight into the various types of nanoparticles available for CVDs, their mechanisms of targeting (eg, direct or indirect), and the utmost need for further development of bench-to-bedside cardiac tissue-based nanomedicines. Furthermore, the review aims to summarize the different ideas and methods of nanoparticle-mediated therapeutic approaches to the myocardium till date with present clinical trials and future perspectives. This review also reflects the potential of such nanoparticle-mediated tissue-targeted therapies to contribute to the sustainable development goals of good health and well-being.

Abstract
The coal-to-gas process produces carbon dioxide, which increases global warming, and its wastewater treatment generates sludge with high organic toxicity. Scenedesmus obliquus is a potential solution to such environmental problems, and photosynthetic pigments are the focus of this study. The optimal concentration of CO2 for the growth of Scenedesmus obliquus was found to be 30 % after increasing the concentration of CO2 (0.05 %-100 %). The accumulation of photosynthetic pigments during cultivation could reach 31.74 ± 1.33 mg/L, 11.21 ± 0.42 mg/L, and 5.59 ± 0.19 mg/L respectively, and the organic toxicity of sludge extract could be reduced by 44.97 %. Upregulation of A0A383VSL5, A0A383WMQ3, and A0A2Z4THB7 as photo systemic oxygen release proteins and propylene phosphate isomerase resulted in oxygen-evolving proteins in photosystem II, electron transport in photosystem I, and intermediates in carbon fixation. This is achieved by increasing the intracellular antennae protein and carbon fixation pathway, allowing Scenedesmus obliquus to both tolerate and fix CO2 and reduce the organic toxicity of sludge. These findings provide insights into the innovative strategy underlining the fixation of CO2, treatment and disposal of industrial residual sludge, and the enhancement of microalgal biomass production.

Multiple stressor effects on a model soil nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans: Combined effects of the pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae and zinc oxide nanoparticles. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 865:161307. [PMID: 36596421 PMCID: PMC9896629 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.161307] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2022] [Revised: 12/26/2022] [Accepted: 12/27/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Research utilizing the model soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has revealed that agriculturally relevant nanoparticles (NP), such as zinc oxide NP (ZnONP), cause toxicity at low concentrations and disrupt molecular pathways of pathogen resistance. However, in most nanotoxicity assessments, model organisms are exposed to a single stressor but in nature organisms are affected by multiple sources of stress, including infections, which might exacerbate or mitigate negative effects of NP exposure. Thus, to expand our understanding of the environmental consequences of released NP, this project examined the synergistic/antagonistic effects of ZnONP on C. elegans infected with a common pathogen, Klebsiella pneumoniae. Individual exposures of C. elegans to ZnONP, zinc sulfate (Zn2+ ions) or K. pneumoniae significantly decreased nematode reproduction compared to controls. To assess the combined stress of ZnONP and K. pneumoniae, C. elegans were exposed to equitoxic EC30 concentrations of ZnONP (or Zn ions) and K. pneumoniae. After the combined exposure there was no decrease in reproduction. This complete elimination of reproductive toxicity was unexpected because exposures were conducted at EC30 Zn concentrations and reproductive toxicity due to Zn should have occurred. Amelioration of the pathogen effects by Zn are partially explained by the Zn impact on the K. pneumoniae biofilm. Quantitative assessments showed that external biofilm production and estimated colony forming units (CFU) of K. pneumoniae within the nematodes were significantly decreased. Taken together, our results suggest that during the combined exposure of C. elegans to both stressors Zn in ionic or particulate form inhibits K. pneumoniae ability to colonize nematode's intestine through decreasing pathogen biofilm formation. This highlights the unpredictable nature of combined stressor effects, calling into question the utility of exposures in simplified laboratory media.

Abstract
Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have solved numerous problems related to the repair and regeneration of damaged organs and tissues arising from aging, illnesses, and injuries. Nanotechnology has further aided tissue regeneration science and has provided outstanding opportunities to help disease diagnosis as well as treat damaged tissues. Based on the most recent findings, magnetic nanostructures (MNSs), in particular, have emerged as promising materials for detecting, directing, and supporting tissue regeneration. There have been many reports concerning the role of these nano-building blocks in the regeneration of both soft and hard tissues, but the subject has not been extensively reviewed. Here, we review, classify, and discuss various synthesis strategies for novel MNSs used in medicine. Advanced applications of magnetic nanocomposites (MG-NCs), specifically magnetic nanostructures, are further systematically reviewed. In addition, the scientific and technical aspects of MG-NC used in medicine are discussed considering the requirements for the field. In summary, this review highlights the numerous opportunities and challenges associated with the use of MG-NCs as smart nanocomposites (NCs) in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles can induce macrophage polarization into the proinflammatory M1-type. This adverse effect is very likely to restrict the applications of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles in various inflammatory medical conditions. To inhibit the proinflammatory
effect, the mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant peptide SS-31 was physically adsorbed on superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles to develop superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles@SS-31. The macrophages (RAW 264.7) were incubated with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles or superparamagnetic
iron oxide nanoparticles@SS-31 at a concentration of 50 μg Fe3O4/mL for 24 hours. Compared to the superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles group, the superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles@SS-31 group demonstrated significantly reduced cell damage, as
evidenced by the inhibition of cell viability loss, early cell apoptosis and the production of reactive oxygen species. Moreover, the proinflammatory factor TNF-α and M1-type cell surface markers CD86 and CD80 were significantly downregulated in the superparamagnetic iron oxide
nanoparticles@SS-31 group as shown by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and flow cytometric analysis. Notably, compared with the superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles group, levels of the anti-inflammatory factors IL-10, TGF-β and the M2-type cell surface marker CD163 were
markedly upregulated in the superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles@SS-31 group. In addition, severe disruption of the mitochondrial ultrastructure was observed by transmission electron microscopy in the superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles group, but the superparamagnetic iron oxide
nanoparticles@SS-31 group displayed structurally intact mitochondria. All of these results suggest that superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles can promote macrophage M1-type polarization by inducing oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage, while superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles@SS-31
can significantly inhibit superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles-induced toxicity by releasing SS-31 to exert mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, indicating that the strategy of coloading the SS-31 peptide into superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles has
the potential to alleviate superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles-induced proinflammatory effects.

Abstract
Inefficient tumor accumulation and penetration remain as the main challenges to therapy efficacy of lung cancer. Local delivery of smart nanoclusters can increase drug penetration and provide superior antitumor effects than systemic routes. Here, we report self-assembled pH-sensitive superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoclusters (SPIONCs) that enhance in situ ferroptosis and apoptosis with radiotherapy and chemodynamic therapy. After pulmonary delivery in orthotopic lung cancer, SPIONCs disintegrate into smaller nanoparticles and release more iron ions in an acidic microenvironment. Under single-dose X-ray irradiation, endogenous superoxide dismutase converts superoxide radicals produced by mitochondria to hydrogen peroxide, which in turn generates hydroxyl radicals by the Fenton reaction from iron ions accumulated inside the tumor. Finally, irradiation and iron ions enhance tumor lipid peroxidation and induce cell apoptosis and ferroptosis. Thus, rationally designed pulmonary delivered nanoclusters provide a promising strategy for noninvasive imaging of lung cancer and synergistic therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE An attractive cell source for stem cell-based therapy are WJ-MSCs. Hence, tracking WJ-MSCs using non-invasive imaging procedures (such as MRI) and contrast agents (Zn0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4, NFNPs) are required to evaluate cell distribution, migration, and differentiation. RESULTS Results showed that the bare and dextrin-coated NFNPs were internalized inside the WJ-MSCs and had no effect on the cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis, karyotyping, and morphology of WJ-MSCs up to 125 µg/mL. Besides, treated WJ-MSCs were differentiated into osteo/adipocyte-like cells. The expression of RUNX 2, SPP 1 (P < 0.05), and OCN (P > 0.05) genes in the WJ-MSCs treated with dextrin-coated NFNPs was higher than the untreated WJ-MSCs; and the expression of CFD, LPL, and PPAR-γ genes was reduced in WJ-MSCs treated with both NFNPs in comparison with the untreated WJ-MSCs (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Overall, results showed that dextrin-coated NFNPs had no adverse effect on the cellular characteristics, proliferation, and differentiation of WJ-MSCs, and suggesting their potential clinical efficacy.

Abstract
Clays attributed to have medicinal properties have been used since prehistoric times and are still used today as complementary medicines, which has given rise to unregulated “bioceutical” clays to treat skin conditions. Recently, clays with antibacterial characteristics have been proposed as alternatives to antibiotics, potentially overcoming modern day antibiotic resistance. Clays with suggested antibacterial properties were examined to establish their effects on common wound-infecting bacteria. Geochemical, microscopical, and toxicological characterization of clay particulates, their suspensions and filtered leachates was performed on THP-1 and HaCaT cell lines. Cytoskeletal toxicity, cell proliferation/viability (MTT assays), and migration (scratch wounds) were further evaluated. Clays were assayed for antibacterial efficacy using minimum inhibitory concentration assays. All clays possessed a mineral content with antibacterial potential; however, clay leachates contained insufficient ions to have any antibacterial effects. All clay leachates displayed toxicity towards THP-1 monocytes, while clay suspensions showed less toxicity, suggesting immunogenicity. Reduced clay cytotoxicity on HaCaTs was shown, as many leachates stimulated wound-healing responses. The “Green” clay exhibited antibacterial effects and only in suspension, which was lost upon neutralization. pH and its interaction with clay particle surface charge is more significant than previously understood to emphasize dangers of unregulated marketing and unsubstantiated bioceutical claims.

Abstract
The use of nanoparticles (NP) in diagnosis and treatment of many human diseases, including cancer, is of increasing interest. However, cytotoxic effects of NPs on cells and the uptake efficiency significantly limit their use in clinical practice. The physico-chemical properties of NPs including surface composition, superficial charge, size and shape are considered the key factors that affect the biocompatibility and uptake efficiency of these nanoplatforms. Thanks to the possibility of modifying physico-chemical properties of NPs, it is possible to improve their biocompatibility and uptake efficiency through the functionalization of the NP surface. In this review, we summarize some of the most recent studies in which NP surface modification enhances biocompatibility and uptake. Furthermore, the most used techniques used to assess biocompatibility and uptake are also reported.

Magnetic resonance imaging of umbilical cord stem cells labeled with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles: effects of labelling and transplantation parameters. Sci Rep 2020; 10:13684.

Abstract
Cell tracking with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is important for evaluating the biodistribution of transplanted cells. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) have emerged as a promising therapeutic tool in regenerative medicine. We examined the UC-MSCs labeled with superparamagnetic (SPIO) and ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) in terms of cell functioning and imaging efficiency in vitro and in vivo. The UC-MSCs were co-incubated with SPIO or USPIO at a concentration of 50 or 100 µg/mL of label. Viability and proliferation were assessed by Trypan blue dye exclusion and MTT assay, respectively. Differentiation (chondrogenesis, osteogenesis, and adipogenesis) was induced to examine the impact of labelling on stemness. For in vitro experiments, we used 7-T MRI to assess the T2 values of phantoms containing various concentrations of cell suspensions. For in vivo experiments, nine neonatal rats were divided into the control, SPIO, and USPIO groups. The UC-MSCs were injected directly into the rat brains. MRI images were obtained immediately and at 7 and 14 days post injection. The UC-MSCs were successfully labeled with SPIO and USPIO after 24 h of incubation. Cell viability was not changed by labelling. Nevertheless, labelling with 100 µg/mL USPIO led to a significant decrease in proliferation. The capacity for differentiation into cartilage was influenced by 100 µg/mL of SPIO. MRI showed that labeled cells exhibited clear hypointense signals, unlike unlabeled control cells. In the USPIO-labeled cells, a significant (P < 0.05) decrease in T2 values (= improved contrast) was observed when compared with the controls and between phantoms containing the fewest and the most cells (0.5 × 106 versus 2.0 × 106 cells/mL). In vivo, the labeled cells were discernible on T2-weighted images at days 0, 7, and 14. The presence of SPIO and USPIO particles at day 14 was confirmed by Prussian blue staining. Microscopy also suggested that the regions occupied by the particles were not as large as the corresponding hypointense areas observed on MRI. Both labels were readily taken up by the UC-MSCs and identified well on MRI. While SPIO and USPIO provide improved results in MRI studies, care must be taken while labelling cells with high concentrations of these agents.

Abstract
Recently, iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have gathered special attention in regenerative medicine. Owing to their magnetic and bioactive properties, IONPs are utilized in the fabrication of novel biomaterials. Yet, there was no report regarding thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) polymer doped with IONPs on osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. Thus the objectives of presented study was to: (a) fabricate magnetic TPU + PLA sponges doped with iron (III) oxide Fe2 O3 nanoparticles; (b) investigate the effects of biomaterial and its exposition to static magnetic field (MF) on osteogenic differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis in adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs). TPU + PLA sponges were prepared using solvent casting technique while incorporation of the Fe2 O3 nanoparticles was performed with solution cast method. RT-PCR was applied to evaluate expression of osteogenic-related genes and integrin's in cells cultured on fabricated materials with or without the stimulation of static MF. MF stimulation enhanced the expression of osteopontin and collagen type I while decreased expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2 in tested magnetic materials-TPU + PLA/1% Fe2 O3 and TPU + PLA/5% Fe2 O3 . Therefore, TPU + PLA sponges doped with IONPs and exposure to MF resulted in improved osteogenic differentiation of ASC.

Abstract
Purpose Myocardial delivery of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs) might produce iron overload-induced myocardial injury, and the oxidative stress was regarded as the main mechanism. Therefore, we speculated antioxidant modification might be a reasonable strategy to mitigate the toxicity of MNPs. Methods and results Antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) was loaded into magnetic mesoporous silica coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Neonatal rat hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) cardiomyocytes were incubated with nanoparticles for 24 hrs. NAC can effectively mitigate iron-induced oxidative injury of cardiomyocytes, evidenced by reduced production of MDA, 8-iso-PGF2α, and 8-OHDG and maintained concentrations of SOD, CAT, GSH-Px, and GSH in ELISA and biochemical tests; downregulated expression of CHOP, GRP78, p62, and LC3-II proteins in Western Blot, and less cardiomyocytes apoptosis in flow cytometric analysis. Conclusions NAC modifying could suppress the toxic effects of Fe3O4 nanoparticles in H/R cardiomyocytes model in vitro, indicating a promising strategy to improve the safety of iron oxide nanoparticles.

CaP coated mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles with responsive membrane permeation ability for combined photothermal and siRNA therapy. Acta Biomater 2019; 86:416-428.

Abstract
Combined photothermal and gene therapy provides a promising modality toward cancer treatment, yet facile integration and controlled codelivery of gene payloads and photothermal conversion agents (PTCAs) remains a great challenge. Inspired by the robust wet adhesion of marine mussels, we present a rationally designed nanosystem constructed by using hybrid mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA) with sub-100 nm sizes and a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 37%. The surface of the particles were modified with tertiary amines by the facile Michael addition/Schiff base reactions of PDA to realize high siRNA loading capacity (10 wt%). Moreover, a successful calcium phosphate (CaP) coating via biomineralization was constructed on the cationic nanoparticle to prohibit premature release of siRNA. The CaP coating underwent biodegradation in weakly-acidic subcellular conditions (lysosomes). The synergistic integration of tertiary amines and catechol moieties on the subsequently exposed surfaces was demonstrated to feature the destabilization/disruption ability toward model cellular membranes via the greatly enhanced interfacial adhesion and interactions. Consequently, sufficient permeability of lysosomal membranes, and in turn, a high lysosomal escape efficiency, was realized, which then resulted in high gene silencing efficiencies via sufficient cytosolic delivery of siRNA. When an efficient knocking down (65%) of survivin (an inhibitor of apoptosis proteins) was combined with a subsequent photothermal ablation, remarkably higher therapeutic efficiencies were observed both in vitro and in vivo, as compared with monotherapy. The system may help to pave a new avenue on the utilization of bio-adhesive surfaces for handling the obstacles of combined photothermal and gene therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Polydopamine (PDA) based porous photothermal-conversion agent (PTCA) with sufficiently high conversion efficiency was employed to deliver photothermal/gene therapy modalities towards cancer treatment. CaP coating via PDA-induced biomineralization was constructed to prohibit premature release of siRNA loaded in the pore space of the nanocarriers. Responsive degradation of CaP also led to the exposure of membrane-lytic surfaces built through the synergistic integration of tertiary amines and catechol moieties, and in turn the significantly enhanced lysosomal escape and cytosol siRNA delivery. Therapeutic targeting of survivin was successfully applied for activation of apoptosis and programmed cell death. Combined photothermal and gene therapy improved therapeutic effectiveness.

Abstract
Emerging nanotechnologies for radiotherapy are attracting increasing interest from researchers in recent years. To improve the radiotherapeutic performance, developing nanoparticles that can efficiently generate toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) under X-ray irradiation are highly desirable. Here, we investigate the potential of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) as nanoradiosensitizers. Increased cancer cell inhibition is observed in colony formation assay and real-time cell analysis after the combined treatment with CuO NPs and X-ray irradiation, whereas the CuO NPs alone do not have any negative influence on cell viability, indicating the radiosensitization effect of CuO NPs. Importantly, the significantly increased ROS level in cells contributes to the enhanced damage to cancer cells under the combined treatment. Besides, the cell cycle is regulated to the X-ray-sensitive phase (G2/M phase) by CuO NPs, which may also account for the inhibited proliferation of cancer cells. Furthermore, results from Western blot analysis and colony formation assay reveal that the increased cell death may be mainly attributed to the excessive autophagy induced by both CuO NPs and X-ray irradiation. Moreover, in vivo experiments verify the radiosensitization of CuO NPs and their favorable biosafety. The current study suggests that CuO NPs can be utilized as nanoradiosensitizers for increasing the efficiency of cancer radiotherapy.

Abstract
In the recent times, nanomaterials are used in many sectors of science, medicine and industry, without revealing its toxic effects. Thus, it is in urgent need for exploring the toxicity along with the application of such useful nanomaterials. Nanomaterials are categorized with a particle size of 1-100 nm. They have gained increasing attention because of their novel properties, including a large specific surface area and high reaction activity. The various fundamental and practical applications of nanomaterials include drug delivery, cell imaging, and cancer therapy. Nanosized semiconductors have their versatile applications in different areas such as catalysts, sensors, photoelectronic devices, highly functional and effective devices etc. Metal oxides contribute in many areas of chemistry, physics and materials science. Mechanism of toxicity of metal oxide nanoparticles can occur by different methods like oxidative stress, co-ordination effects, non-homeostasis effects, genotoxicity and others. Factors that affect the metal oxide nanoparticles were size, dissolution and exposure routes. This chapter will explain elaborately the toxicity of metal oxide nano structures in living beings and their effect in ecosystem.

Abstract
Nanomedicine utilizes the remarkable properties of nanomaterials for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. Many of these nanomaterials have been shown to have robust antioxidative properties, potentially functioning as strong scavengers of reactive oxygen species. Conversely, several nanomaterials have also been shown to promote the generation of reactive oxygen species, which may precipitate the onset of oxidative stress, a state that is thought to contribute to the development of a variety of adverse conditions. As such, the impacts of nanomaterials on biological entities are often associated with and influenced by their specific redox properties. In this review, we overview several classes of nanomaterials that have been or projected to be used across a wide range of biomedical applications, with discussion focusing on their unique redox properties. Nanomaterials examined include iron, cerium, and titanium metal oxide nanoparticles, gold, silver, and selenium nanoparticles, and various nanoscale carbon allotropes such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, and their derivatives/variations. Principal topics of discussion include the chemical mechanisms by which the nanomaterials directly interact with biological entities and the biological cascades that are thus indirectly impacted. Selected case studies highlighting the redox properties of nanomaterials and how they affect biological responses are used to exemplify the biologically-relevant redox mechanisms for each of the described nanomaterials.

Abstract
Background The dose-limiting toxic effect of cyclophosphamide (CY) is cardiotoxicity. The pathogenesis of myocardial damage is poorly understood, and there is no established means of prevention. In previous studies, we suggested that for CY-induced cardiotoxicity, whereas acrolein is the key toxic metabolite, carboxyethylphosphoramide mustard (CEPM) is protective. We sought to verify that acrolein is the main cause of cardiotoxicity and to investigate whether aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), which is associated with greater CEPM production, is involved in the protective effect for cardiotoxicity. We also evaluated the protective effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC), an amino acid with antioxidant activity and a known acrolein scavenger. Methods H9c2 cells were exposed to CY metabolites HCY (4-hydroxy-cyclophosphamide), acrolein or CEPM. The degree of cytotoxicity was evaluated by MTT assay, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). We also investigated how the myocardial cellular protective effects of CY metabolites were modified by NAC. To quantify acrolein levels, we measured the culture supernatants using high performance liquid chromatography. We measured ALDH activity after exposure to HCY or acrolein and the same with pre-treatment with NAC. Results Exposure of H9c2 cells to CEPM did not cause cytotoxicity. Increased ROS levels and myocardial cytotoxicity, however, were induced by HCY and acrolein. In cell cultures, HCY was metabolized to acrolein. Less ALDH activity was observed after exposure to HCY or acrolein. Treatment with NAC reduced acrolein concentrations. Conclusions Increased ROS generation and decreased ALDH activity confirmed that CY metabolites HCY and acrolein are strongly implicated in cardiotoxicity. By inhibiting ROS generation, increasing ALDH activity and decreasing the presence of acrolein, NAC has the potential to prevent CY-induced cardiotoxicity.

CHEMOSPHERE 2016; 164:499-507.

Abstract
Increased use of graphene materials might ultimately lead to their release into the environment. However, only a few studies have investigated the impact of graphene-based materials on green plants. In this study, the impact of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) on the microalgae Scenedesmus obliquus was evaluated to determine its phytotoxicity. Treatment with RGO suppressed the growth of the microalgae. The 72-h IC50 values of RGO evaluated using the logistic and Gompertz models were 148 and 151 mg L-1, respectively. RGO significantly inhibited Chl a and Chl a/b levels in the algal cells. Chlorophyll a fluorescence analysis showed that RGO significantly down-regulated photosystem II activity. The mechanism of how RGO inhibited algal growth and photosynthetic performance was determined by analyzing the alterations in ultrastructural morphology. RGO adhered to the algal cell surface as a semitranslucent coating. Cell wall damage and membrane integrity loss occurred in the treated cells. Moreover, nuclear chromatin clumping and starch grain number increase were noted. These changes might be attributed to the increase in malondialdehyde and reactive oxygen species levels, which might have exceeded the scavenging ability of antioxidant enzymes (including peroxidase and superoxide dismutase). RGO impaired the extra- and intra-cellular morphology and increased oxidative stress and thus inhibited algal growth and photosynthesis.

Abstract
Fascinating super paramagnetic uniqueness of iron oxide particles at nano-scale level make them extremely useful in the state of the art therapies, equipments, and techniques. Cobalt ferrite (CoFe2 O4 ) magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are extensively used in nano-based medicine and electronics, results in extensive discharge and accumulation into the environment. However, very limited information is available for their endocrine disrupting potential in aquatic organisms. In this study, the thyroid endocrine disrupting ability of CoFe2 O4 NPs in Zebrafish larvae for 168-h post fertilization (hpf) was evaluated. The results showed the elevated amounts of T4 and T3 hormones by malformation of hypothalamus pituitary axis in zebrafish larvae. These elevated levels of whole body THs leads to delayed hatching, head and eye malformation, arrested development, and alterations in metabolism. The influence of THs disruption on ROS production and change in activities of catalase (CAT), mu-glutathione s-transferase (mu-GST), and acid phosphatase (AP) were also studied. The production of significantly higher amounts of in vivo generation of ROS leads to membrane damage and oxidative stress. Presences of NPs and NPs agglomerates/aggregates were also the contributing factors in mechanical damaging the membranes and physiological structure of thyroid axis. The increased activities of CAT, mu-GST, and AP confirmed the increased oxidative stress, possible DNA, and metabolic alterations, respectively. The excessive production of in vivo ROS leads to severe apoptosis in head, eye, and heart region confirming that malformation leads to malfunctioning of hypothalamus pituitary axis. ROS-induced oxidative DNA damage by formation of 8-OHdG DNA adducts elaborates the genotoxicity potential of CoFe2 O4 NPs. This study will help us to better understand the risk and assessment of endocrine disrupting potential of nanoparticles. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Environ Toxicol 31: 2068-2080, 2016.

Abstract
The application of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) has made great progress in the diagnosis of disease and in the drug delivery system for cancer therapy, but the relative mechanisms of potential toxicity induced by Fe3O4 have not kept pace with its development in the application, which has hampered its further clinical application. In this article, we used two kinds of human hepatoma cell lines, SK-Hep-1 and Hep3B, to investigate the cytotoxic effects and the involved mechanisms of small Fe3O4 NPs with different diameters (6 nm, 9 nm, and 14 nm). Results showed that the size of NPs effectively influences the cytotoxicity of hepatoma cells: 6 nm Fe3O4 NPs exhibited negligible cytotoxicity and 9 nm Fe3O4 NPs affected cytotoxicity via cellular mitochondrial dysfunction and by inducing necrosis mediated through the mitochondria-dependent intracellular reactive oxygen species generation. Meanwhile, 14 nm Fe3O4 NPs induced cytotoxicity by impairing the integrity of plasma membrane and promoting massive lactate dehydrogenase leakage. These results explain the detailed mechanism of different diameters of small Fe3O4 NPs-induced cytotoxicity. We anticipate that this study will provide different insights into the cytotoxicity mechanism of Fe3O4 NPs, so as to make them safer to use in clinical application.

Targeted iron oxide nanoparticles for the enhancement of radiation therapy. Biomaterials 2016; 105:127-135.

Abstract
To increase the efficacy of radiation, iron oxide nanoparticles can be utilized for their ability to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). Radiation therapy promotes leakage of electrons from the electron transport chain and leads to an increase in mitochondrial production of the superoxide anion which is converted to hydrogen peroxide by superoxide dismutase. Iron oxide nanoparticles can then catalyze the reaction from hydrogen peroxide to the highly reactive hydroxyl radical. Therefore, the overall aim of this project was to utilize iron oxide nanoparticles conjugated to a cell penetrating peptide, TAT, to escape lysosomal encapsulation after internalization by cancer cells and catalyze hydroxyl radical formation. It was determined that TAT functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles and uncoated iron oxide nanoparticles resulted in permeabilization of the lysosomal membranes. Additionally, mitochondrial integrity was compromised when A549 cells were treated with both TAT-functionalized nanoparticles and radiation. Pre-treatment with TAT-functionalized nanoparticles also significantly increased the ROS generation associated with radiation. A long term viability study showed that TAT-functionalized nanoparticles combined with radiation resulted in a synergistic combination treatment. This is likely due to the TAT-functionalized nanoparticles sensitizing the cells to subsequent radiation therapy, because the nanoparticles alone did not result in significant toxicities.

Abstract
An essential component of developing successful neural stem cell (NSC)-based therapies involves the establishment of methodologies to noninvasively monitor grafted NSCs within brain tissues in real time. In this context, ex vivo labeling with ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) particles has been shown to enable efficient tracking of transplanted NSCs via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, whether and how USPIO labeling affects the intrinsic biology of NSCs is not thoroughly understood, and remains an active area of investigation. Here, we perform a comprehensive examination of rat NSC survival and regenerative function upon labeling with the USPIO, Molday ION Rhodamine B (MIRB), which allows for dual magnetic resonance and optical imaging. After optimization of labeling efficiency, two specific doses of MIRB (20 and 50 μg/mL) were chosen and were followed for the rest of the study. We observed that both MIRB doses supported the robust detection of NSCs, over an extended period of time in vitro and in vivo after transplantation into the striata of host rats, using MRI and post hoc fluorescence imaging. Both in culture and after neural transplantation, the higher 50 μg/mL MIRB dose significantly reduced the survival, proliferation, and differentiation rate of the NSCs. Interestingly, although the lower 20 μg/mL MIRB labeling did not produce overtly negative effects, it increased the proliferation and glial differentiation of the NSCs. Additionally, application of this dose also changed the morphological characteristics of neurons and glia produced after NSC differentiation. Importantly, the transplantation of NSCs labeled with either of the two MIRB doses upregulated the immune response in recipient animals. In particular, in animals receiving the 50 μg/mL MIRB-labeled NSCs, this immune response consisted of an increased number of CD68+-activated microglia, which appeared to have phagocytosed MIRB particles and cells contributing to an exaggerated MRI signal dropout in the animals. Overall, these results indicate that although USPIO particles, such as MIRB, may have advantageous labeling and magnetic resonance-sensitive features for NSC tracking, a further examination of their effects might be necessary before they can be used in clinical scenarios of cell-based transplantation.

Abstract
Although it is expected that accumulation of metal oxide nanoparticles that can induce redox reaction in the biological system may influence ion homeostasis and immune regulation through generation of free radicals, the relationship is still unclear. In this study, mice received magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (M-FeNPs, 2 and 4 mg/kg) a single via the tail vein, and their distribution in tissues was investigated over time (1, 4, and 13 weeks). In addition, we evaluated the effects on homeostasis of redox reaction-related elements, the ion environment and immune regulation. The iron level in tissues reached at the maximum on 4 weeks after injection and M-FeNPs the most distributed in the spleen at 13 weeks. Additionally, levels of redox reaction-related elements in tissues were notably altered since 1 week post-injection. While levels of K(+) and Na(+) in tissue tended to decrease with time, Ca(2+) levels reached to the maximum at 4 weeks post-injection. On 13 weeks post-injection, the increased percentages of neutrophils and eosinophils, the enhanced release of LDH, and the elevated secretion of IL-8 and IL-6 were clearly observed in the blood of M-FeNP-treated mice compared to the control. While expression of antigen presentation related-proteins and the maturation of dendritic cells were markedly inhibited following distribution of M-FeNPs, the expression of several chemokines, including CXCR2, CCR5, and CD123, was enhanced on the splenocytes of the treated groups. Taken together, we suggest that accumulation of M-FeNPs may induce adverse health effects by disturbing homeostasis of the immune regulation and ion environment.

Abstract
Nanomaterial oxides are common formations of nanomaterials in the natural environment. Herein, the nanotoxicology of typical graphene oxide (GO) and carboxyl single-walled carbon nanotubes (C-SWCNT) was compared. The results showed that cell division of Chlorella vulgaris was promoted at 24 h and then inhibited at 96 h after nanomaterial exposure. At 96 h, GO and C-SWCNT inhibited the rates of cell division by 0.08-15% and 0.8-28.3%, respectively. Both GO and C-SWCNT covered the cell surface, but the uptake percentage of C-SWCNT was 2-fold higher than that of GO. C-SWCNT induced stronger plasmolysis and mitochondrial membrane potential loss and decreased the cell viability to a greater extent than GO. Moreover, C-SWCNT-exposed cells exhibited more starch grains and lysosome formation and higher reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels than GO-exposed cells. Metabolomics analysis revealed significant differences in the metabolic profiles among the control, C-SWCNT and GO groups. The metabolisms of alkanes, lysine, octadecadienoic acid and valine was associated with ROS and could be considered as new biomarkers of ROS. The nanotoxicological mechanisms involved the inhibition of fatty acid, amino acid and small molecule acid metabolisms. These findings provide new insights into the effects of GO and C-SWCNT on cellular responses.

Abstract
Observed only after administration of high doses, cardiotoxicity is the dose-limiting effect of cyclophosphamide (CY). We investigated the poorly understood cardiotoxic mechanisms of high-dose CY. A rat cardiac myocardial cell line, H9c2, was exposed to CY metabolized by S9 fraction of rat liver homogenate mixed with co-factors (CYS9). Cytotoxicity was then evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)¬2,5-diphenyl¬2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, lactate dehydrogenase release, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and incidence of apoptosis. We also investigated how the myocardial cellular effects of CYS9 were modified by acrolein scavenger N-acetylcysteine (NAC), antioxidant isorhamnetin (ISO), and CYP inhibitor β-ionone (BIO). Quantifying CY and CY metabolites by means of liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray tandem mass spectrometry, we assayed culture supernatants of CYS9 with and without candidate cardioprotectant agents. Assay results for MTT showed that treatment with CY (125-500 μM) did not induce cytotoxicity. CYS9, however, exhibited myocardial cytotoxicity when CY concentration was 250 μM or more. After 250 μM of CY was metabolized in S9 mix for 2 h, the concentration of CY was 73.6 ± 8.0 μM, 4-hydroxy-cyclophosphamide (HCY) 17.6 ± 4.3, o-carboxyethyl-phosphoramide (CEPM) 26.6 ± 5.3 μM, and acrolein 26.7 ± 2.5 μM. Inhibition of CYS9-induced cytotoxicity occurred with NAC, ISO, and BIO. When treated with ISO or BIO, metabolism of CY was significantly inhibited. Pre-treatment with NAC, however, did not inhibit the metabolism of CY: compared to control samples, we observed no difference in HCY, a significant increase of CEPM, and a significant decrease of acrolein. Furthermore, NAC pre-treatment did not affect intracellular amounts of ROS produced by CYS9. Since acrolein seems to be heavily implicated in the onset of cardiotoxicity, any competitive metabolic processing of CY that reduces its transformation to acrolein is likely to be an important mechanism for preventing cardiotoxicity.
