Abstract
Intercalation compounds represent a unique class of materials that can be anisotropic (1D and 2D-based topology) or isotropic (3D) through their guest/host superlattice repetitive organisation. Intercalation refers to the reversible introduction of guest species with variable natures into a crystalline host lattice. Different host lattice structures have been used for the preparation of intercalation compounds, and many examples are produced by exploiting the flexibility and the ability of 2D-based hosts to accommodate different guest species, ranging from ions to complex molecules. This reaction is then carried out to allow systematic control and fine tuning of the final properties of the derived compounds, thus allowing them to be used for various applications. This review mainly focuses on the recent applications of intercalation layered compounds (ILCs) based on layered clays, zirconium phosphates, layered double hydroxides and graphene as heterogeneous catalysts, for environmental and health purposes, aiming at collecting and discussing how intercalation processes can be exploited for the selected applications.

Effects of Halloysite Nanotubes and Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes on Kruppel-like Factor 15-Mediated Downstream Events in Mouse Hearts After Intravenous Injection. Cardiovasc Toxicol 2024; 24:408-421. [PMID: 38411850 DOI: 10.1007/s12012-024-09844-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 02/28/2024]
Abstract
Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are nanomaterials (NMs) derived from natural clays and have been considered as biocompatible NMs for biomedical uses. However, the cardiovascular toxicity of HNTs has not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we compared the cardiotoxicity of HNTs and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), focusing on the changes in Kruppel-like factor (KLF)-mediated signaling pathways. Mice were intravenously injected with 50 µg NMs, once a day, for 5 days, and then mouse hearts were removed for experiments. While HNTs or MWCNTs did not induce obvious pathological changes, RNA-sequencing data suggested the alterations of KLF gene expression. We further confirmed an increase of Klf15 positive cells, accompanied by changes in Klf15-related gene ontology (GO) terms. We noticed that most of the changed GO terms are related with the regulation of gene expression, and we confirmed that the NMs increased myoneurin (Mynn) but decreased snail family transcriptional repressor 1 (Snai1), two transcription factors (TFs) related with Klf15. Besides, the changed GO terms also include metal ion binding and positive regulation of glucose import, and we verified an increase of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (Pck1) and insulin receptor (Insr). However, HNTs and MWCNTs only showed minimal impact on cell death signaling pathways, and no increase in apoptotic sites was observed after NM treatment. We concluded that intravenous administration of HNTs and MWCNTs activated a protective TF, namely Klf15 in mouse aortas, to alter gene expression and signaling pathways related with metal ion binding and glucose import.

Water-dispersible X-ray scintillators enabling coating and blending with polymer materials for multiple applications. Nat Commun 2024; 15:2055.

Abstract
Developing X-ray scintillators that are water-dispersible, compatible with polymeric matrices, and processable to flexible substrates is an important challenge. Herein, Tb3+-doped Na5Lu9F32 is introduced as an X-ray scintillating material with steady-state X-ray light yields of 15,800 photons MeV-1, which is generated as nanocrystals on halloysite nanotubes. The obtained product exhibits good water-dispersibility and highly sensitive luminescence to X-rays. It is deposited onto a polyurethane foam to afford a composite foam material with dose-dependent radioluminescence. Moreover, the product is dispersed into polymer matrixes in aqueous solution to prepare rigid or flexible scintillator screen for X-ray imaging. As a third example, it is incorporated multilayer hydrogels for information camouflage and multilevel encryption. Encrypted information can be recognized only by X-ray irradiation, while the false information is read out under UV light. Altogether, we demonstrate that the water-dispersible scintillators are highly promising for aqueous processing of radioluminescent, X-ray imaging, and information encrypting materials.

Assessing cytotoxicity and endoplasmic reticulum stress in human blood-brain barrier cells due to silver and copper oxide nanoparticles. J Appl Genet 2024:10.1007/s13353-024-00833-8. [PMID: 38332387 DOI: 10.1007/s13353-024-00833-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, it has been generally accepted that metal-based nanoparticles (NPs) may induce stress in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a key organelle where protein folding occurs. We examined ER stress in immortalized human cerebral microvascular cells (hCMEC/D3) after exposure to silver-NPs (Ag-NPs)- and copper oxide-NPs (CuO-NPs) induced toxicity at < 10 nm and < 40 nm or < 50 nm diameters, respectively. In cytotoxicity assessments, cells were exposed to different CuO-NPs (5-400 µg/mL) or Ag-NPs (1-10 µg/mL) concentration ranges for 24 h and 72 h, and tetrazole salt reduction assays (EZ4U) were performed. Also, Ag-NP or CuO-NP effects on cell proliferation, apoptosis (caspase 3/7 assays), and ER stress and cell morphology were evaluated. In ER stress assessments, RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1a), and others stress factor mRNA levels were determined after 24 h treatment using Real-Time PCR. Increased stress sensors (IRE1a, PERK, and ATF6) mRNA levels were observed after exposure to Ag-NPs (< 10 and < 40 nm) or CuO-NPs (< 50 nm). We investigated the expression of tight junction (TJ) proteins (barrier junctions) and showed that both types of NP reduced of OCLN gene expression. Morphological changes were observed after Ag-NP or CuO-NP exposure using holotomographic microscopy. Our data suggest that Ag- and CuO-NPs should undergo future in vitro and in vivo toxicology studies, especially for downstream biomedical application and occupational risk assessments.

Abstract
The need for safe, therapeutically effective, and patient-compliant drug delivery systems continuously leads researchers to design novel tools and strategies. Clay minerals are widely used in drug products both as excipients and active agents but, in recent years, there has been a growing interest in research aimed at the development of new organic or inorganic nanocomposites. The attention of the scientific community has been drawn by nanoclays, thanks to their natural origin, worldwide abundance, availability, sustainability, and biocompatibility. In this review, we focused our attention on the studies inherent to the pharmaceutical and biomedical applications of halloysite and sepiolite, and their semi-synthetic or synthetic derivatives, as drug delivery systems. After having described the structure of both materials and their biocompatibility, we delineate the use of the nanoclays to enhance the stability, the controlled release, the bioavailability, and the adsorption properties of drugs. Several types of surface functionalization have been discussed, showing that these materials could be used for the development of an innovative therapeutic approach.

Abstract
Abstract
Distinct properties that nanomaterials possess compared to their bulk counterparts are attributed to their characteristic high surface area to volume ratios, and the prevalence of structure and shape effects at the nanoscale. However, these interesting properties are also accompanied by health hazards that are not seen in bulk materials. In the context of Philippine research and industry, the issue of nanosafety and the creation of nanotechnology guidelines have long been overlooked. This is of particular importance considering that nanotechnology research in the Philippines leans heavily towards medicinal and agricultural applications. In this study, nanomaterial samples from the industry submitted through the Philippine Industrial Technology Development Institute (ITDI) were analyzed using XRD and MTT cytotoxicity assay. XRD results show significant band broadening in the diffraction patterns of halloysite nanoclay, bentonite nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles, and CaCO3 nanoparticles, indicating that samples were in the nanometer range. The diffraction pattern of TiO2, however, did not exhibit band broadening, which may be due to the tendency of TiO2 nanoparticles to aggregate. Submitted samples were also assessed for their effect on cell viability using MTT cytotoxicity assay. Among these samples, only silver nanoparticles exhibited cytotoxicity to the AA8 cell line.

Abstract
Administration of temperature-responsive drug carriers that release anticancer drugs at high temperatures can benefit hyperthermia therapies because of the synergistic effect of anticancer drug molecules and high temperature on killing the cancer cells. In this study, we design and characterize a new temperature-responsive nanocarrier based on a naturally occurring and biocompatible clay mineral, halloysite nanotubes. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) brushes were grown on the surface of halloysite nanotubes using a combination of mussel-inspired dopamine polymerization and surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization. The chemical structure of the hybrid materials was investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The hybrid material was shown to have a phase transition temperature of about 32 °C, corresponding to a 40 nm thick polymer layer surrounding the nanotubes. Cell studies suggested that grafting of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) brushes on the polydopamine-modified halloysite nanotubes suppresses the cytotoxicity caused by the polydopamine interlayer and drug release studies on nanotubes loaded with doxorubicin showed that thanks to the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) brushes a temperature-dependent drug release is observed. Finally, a fluorescent dye molecule was covalently attached to the polymer-grafted nanotubes and stimulated emission depletion nanoscopy was used to confirm the internalization of the nanotubes in HeLa cells.
