Alcolea-Rodriguez V, Portela R, Calvino-Casilda V, Bañares MA. In chemico methodology for engineered nanomaterial categorization according to number, nature and oxidative potential of reactive surface sites. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE. NANO 2024; 11:3744-3760. [PMID: 39280766 PMCID: PMC11392058 DOI: 10.1039/d3en00810j] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 09/18/2024]
Abstract
Methanol probe chemisorption quantifies the number of reactive sites at the surface of engineered nanomaterials, enabling normalization per reactive site in reactivity and toxicity tests, rather than per mass or physical surface area. Subsequent temperature-programmed surface reaction (TPSR) of chemisorbed methanol identifies the reactive nature of surface sites (acidic, basic, redox or combination thereof) and their reactivity. Complementary to the methanol assay, a dithiothreitol (DTT) probe oxidation reaction is used to evaluate the oxidation capacity. These acellular approaches to quantify the number, nature, and reactivity of surface sites constitute a new approach methodology (NAM) for site-specific classification of nanomaterials. As a proof of concept, CuO, CeO2, ZnO, Fe3O4, CuFe2O4, Co3O4 and two TiO2 nanomaterials were probed. A harmonized reactive descriptor for ENMs was obtained: the DTT oxidation rate per reactive surface site, or oxidative turnover frequency (OxTOF). CuO and CuFe2O4 ENMs exhibit the largest reactive site surface density and possess the highest oxidizing ability in the series, as estimated by the DTT probe reaction, followed by CeO2 NM-211 and then titania nanomaterials (DT-51 and NM-101) and Fe3O4. DTT depletion for ZnO NM-110 was associated with dissolved zinc ions rather than the ZnO particles; however, the basic characteristics of the ZnO NM-110 particles were evidenced by methanol TPSR. These acellular assays allow ranking the eight nanomaterials into three categories with statistically different oxidative potentials: CuO, CuFe2O4 and Co3O4 are the most reactive; ceria exhibits a moderate reactivity; and iron oxide and the titanias possess a low oxidative potential.

Abstract
Metal nanoclusters (NCs) are well-recognized novel nano-agents that hold great promise for applications in nanomedicine because of their ultrafine size, low toxicity, and high renal clearance. As foreign substances, however, an in-depth understanding of the bioresponses to metal NCs is necessary but is still far from being realized. Herein, this review is deployed to summarize the biofates of metal NCs at various biological levels, emphasizing their multiscale bioresponses at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels. In the parts-to-whole schema, the interactions between biomolecules and metal NCs are discussed, presenting typical protein-dictated nano-bio interfaces, hierarchical structures, and in vivo trajectories. Then, the accumulation, internalization, and metabolic evolution of metal NCs in the cellular environment and as-imparted theranostic functionalization are demonstrated. The organismal metabolism and transportation processes of the metal NCs are subsequently distilled. Finally, this review ends with the conclusions and perspectives on the outstanding issues of metal NC-mediated bioresponses in the near future. This review is expected to provide inspiration for tailoring the customization of metal NC-based nano-agents to meet practical requirements in different sectors of nanomedicine.

Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) Induce Cytotoxicity in the Zebrafish Olfactory Organs via Activating Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis at the Ultrastructure and Genetic Levels. Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:2867. [PMID: 37760268 PMCID: PMC10525688 DOI: 10.3390/ani13182867] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Revised: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/05/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Nanotechnology has gained tremendous attention because of its crucial characteristics and wide biomedical applications. Although zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) are involved in many industrial applications, researchers pay more attention to their toxic effects on living organisms. Since the olfactory epithelium is exposed to the external environment, it is considered the first organ affected by ZnO-NPs. Herein, we demonstrated the cytotoxic effect of ZnO-NPs on the olfactory organ of adult zebrafish after 60 days post-treatment. We opted for this period when fishes stop eating their diet from the aquarium, appear feeble, and cannot swim freely. Our study demonstrated that ZnO-NPs induced significant malformations of the olfactory rosettes at histological, ultrastructural, and genetic levels. At the ultrastructure level, the olfactory lamellae appeared collapsed, malformed, and twisted with signs of degeneration and loss of intercellular connections. In addition, ZnO-NPs harmed sensory receptor and ciliated cells, microvilli, rodlet, crypt, and Kappe cells, with hyper-activity of mucous secretion from goblet cells. At the genetic level, ZnO-NPs could activate the reactive oxygen species (ROS) synthesis expected by the down-regulation of mRNA expression for the antioxidant-related genes and up-regulation of DNA damage, cell growth arrest, and apoptosis. Interestingly, ZnO-NPs affected the odor sensation at 60 days post-treatment (60-dpt) more than at 30-dpt, severely damaging the olfactory epithelium and irreparably affecting the cellular repairing mechanisms. This induced a dramatically adverse effect on the cellular endoplasmic reticulum (ER), revealed by higher CHOP protein expression, that suppresses the antioxidant effect of Nrf2 and is followed by the induction of apoptosis via the up-regulation of Bax expression and down-regulation of Bcl-2 protein.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:88685-88703. [PMID: 37442924 PMCID: PMC10412495 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-28538-1] [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: 03/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/28/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023]
Abstract
This study investigated the possible beneficial role of the bee venom (BV, Apis mellifera L.) against zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZNPs)-induced neurobehavioral and neurotoxic impacts in rats. Fifty male Sprague Dawley rats were alienated into five groups. Three groups were intraperitoneally injected distilled water (C 28D group), ZNPs (100 mg/kg b.wt) (ZNPs group), or ZNPs (100 mg/kg.wt) and BV (1 mg/ kg.bwt) (ZNPs + BV group) for 28 days. One group was intraperitoneally injected with 1 mL of distilled water for 56 days (C 56D group). The last group was intraperitoneally injected with ZNPs for 28 days, then BV for another 28 days at the same earlier doses and duration (ZNPs/BV group). Depression, anxiety, locomotor activity, spatial learning, and memory were evaluated using the forced swimming test, elevated plus maze, open field test, and Morris water maze test, respectively. The brain contents of dopamine, serotonin, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), malondialdehyde (MDA), and Zn were estimated. The histopathological changes and immunoexpressions of neurofilament and GAP-43 protein in the brain tissues were followed. The results displayed that BV significantly decreased the ZNPs-induced depression, anxiety, memory impairment, and spatial learning disorders. Moreover, the ZNPs-induced increment in serotonin and dopamine levels and Zn content was significantly suppressed by BV. Besides, BV significantly restored the depleted TAC but minimized the augmented MDA brain content associated with ZNPs exposure. Likewise, the neurodegenerative changes induced by ZNPs were significantly abolished by BV. Also, the increased neurofilament and GAP-43 immunoexpression due to ZNPs exposure were alleviated with BV. Of note, BV achieved better results in the ZNPs + BV group than in the ZNPs/BV group. Conclusively, these results demonstrated that BV could be employed as a biologically effective therapy to mitigate the neurotoxic and neurobehavioral effects of ZNPs, particularly when used during ZNPs exposure.

Comparative transcriptome and antioxidant biomarker response reveal molecular mechanisms to cope with zinc ion exposure in the unicellular eukaryote Paramecium. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 453:131364.

Abstract
The development of industry has resulted in excessive environmental zinc exposure which has caused various health problems in a wide range of organisms including humans. The mechanisms by which aquatic microorganisms respond to environmental zinc stress are still poorly understood. Paramecium, a well-known ciliated protozoan and a popular cell model in heavy metal stress response studies, was chosen as the test unicellular eukaryotic organism in the present research. In this work, Paramecium cf. multimicronucleatum cells were exposed in different levels of zinc ion (0.1 and 1.0 mg/L) for different periods of exposure (1 and 4 days), and then analyzed population growth, transcriptomic profiles and physiological changes in antioxidant enzymes to explore the toxicity and detoxification mechanisms during the zinc stress response. Results demonstrated that long-term zinc exposure could have restrained population growth in ciliates, however, the response mechanism to zinc exposure in ciliates is likely to show a dosage-dependent and time-dependent manner. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified the characters by high-throughput sequencing, which remarkably enriched in the phagosome, indicating that the phagosome pathway might mediate the uptake of zinc, while the pathways of ABC transporters and Na+/K+-transporting ATPase contributed to the efflux transport of excessive zinc ions and the maintenance of osmotic balance, respectively. The accumulation of zinc ions triggered a series of adverse effects, including damage to DNA and proteins, disturbance of mitochondrial function, and oxidative stress. In addition, we found that gene expression changed significantly for metal ion binding, energy metabolism, and oxidation-reduction processes. RT-qPCR of ten genes involved in important biological functions further validated the results of the transcriptome analysis. We also continuously monitored changes in activity of four antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, POD and GSH-PX), all of which peaked on day 4 in cells subjected to zinc stress. Collectively, our results indicate that excessive environmental zinc exposure initially causes damage to cellular structure and function and then initiates detoxification mechanisms to maintain homeostasis in P. cf. multimicronucleatum cells.

Abstract
As a group of new nanomaterials, nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are widely applied in the biomedical field, exerting unknown risks to the human body, especially the central nervous system. Herein, the impacts of MOF-74-Zn nanoparticles on neurological behaviors and neurotransmitter metabolism are explored in both in vivo and in vitro assays modeled by C57BL/6 mice and PC12 cells, respectively. The mice exhibit increased negative-like behaviors, as demonstrated by the observed decrease in exploring behaviors and increase in despair-like behaviors in the open field test and forced swimming test after exposure to low doses of MOF-74-Zn nanoparticles. Disorders in the catecholamine neurotransmitter metabolism may be responsible for the MOF-74-Zn-induced abnormal behaviors. Part of the reason for this is the inhibition of neurotransmitter synthesis caused by restrained neurite extension. In addition, MOF-74-Zn promotes the translocation of more calcium into the cytoplasm, accelerating the release and uptake and finally resulting in an imbalance between synthesis and catabolism. Taken together, the results from this study indicate the human toxicity risks of nanoscale low-toxicity metal-based MOFs and provide valuable insight into the rational and safe use of MOF nanomaterials.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanomaterial is a potential material in the field of cancer therapy. In this study, zinc oxide nanospheres (ZnO-NS) were synthesized by Sol-gel method using yeast extract as a non-toxic bio-template and investigated their physicochemical properties through various techniques such as FTIR, XR, DLS, and TEM. Furthermore, free zinc ions released from the zinc oxide nanosphere suspended medium were evaluated by using the ICP-AS technique. Therefore, the cytotoxicity of ZnO nanospheres and released Zn ions on both HuH7 and Vero cells was studied using the MTT assay. The data demonstrated that the effectiveness of ZnO nanospheres on HuH7 was better than free Zn ions. Similarly, ZnO-Ns were significantly more toxic to HuH7 cell lines than Vero cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The cell cycle of ZnO-Ns against Huh7 and Vero cell lines was arrested at G2/M. Also, the apoptosis assay using Annexin-V/PI showed that apoptosis of HuH7 and Vero cell lines by ZnO nanospheres was concentration and time-dependent. Caspase 3 assay results showed that the apoptosis mechanism may be intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. The mechanism of apoptosis was determined by applying the RT-PCR technique. The results revealed significantly up-regulated Bax, P53, and Cytochrome C, while the Bcl2 results displayed significant down-regulation and the western blot data confirmed the RT-PCR data. There is oxidative stress of the ZnO nanospheres and free Zn+2 ions. Results indicated that the ZnO nanospheres and free Zn+2 ions induced oxidative stress through increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation. The morphology of the HuH7 cell line after exposure to ZnO nanospheres at different time intervals revealed the presence of the chromatin condensation of the nuclear periphery fragmentation. Interestingly, the appearance of canonical ultrastructure features of apoptotic morphology of Huh7, Furthermore, many vacuoles existed in the cytoplasm, the majority of which were lipid droplets, which were like foamy cells. Also, there are vesicles intact with membranes that are recognized as swollen mitochondria.

Abstract
The widespread use of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in food products necessitates the understanding of their impact on the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Herein, we screened several representative food-borne comparator ENMs (i.e. ZnO, SiO2 and TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs)) and report that human colon cancer cells can insidiously exploit ZnO NP-induced adaptive response to acquire resistance against several chemotherapeutic drugs. By employing a conditioning and challenge treatment regime, we demonstrate that repeated exposure to a non-toxic dose of ZnO NPs (20 μM) could dampen the efficacy of cisplatin, paclitaxel and doxorubicin by 10-50% in monolayer culture and 3D spheroids of human colon adenocarcinoma cells. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed a complex interplay between nanoparticle surface chemistry and cell type in determining the chemoresistance-inducing effect, with silica coated ZnO NPs having a negligible influence on the anticancer treatment. Mechanistically, we showed that the pro-survival paracrine signaling was potentiated and propagated by a subset of ZnO NP "stressed" (Zn2++/ROS+) cells to the surrounding "bystander" (Zn2++/ROS-) cells. Transcriptome profiling, bioinformatics analysis and siRNA gene knockdown experiments revealed the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) as the key modulator of the ZnO NP-induced drug resistance. Our findings suggest that a ROS-inducing ENM can emerge as a nano-stressor, capable of regulating the chemosensitivity of colon cancer cells.

Abstract
Quite a great proportion of known tumor cells carry mutation in TP53 gene, expressing mutant p53 proteins (mutp53) missing not only original genome protective activities but also acquiring gain-of-functions that favor tumor progression and impede treatment of cancers. Zinc ions were reported as agents cytocidal to mutp53-carrying cells by recovering p53 normal functions and abrogating mutp53. Meanwhile in a hyperthermia scenario, the function of wild type p53 is required to ablate tumors upon heat treatment hence the effects might be hindered in a mutp53 background. We herein synthesized zinc-doped Prussian blue (ZP) nanoparticles (NPs) to combine Zn2+ based and photothermal therapeutic effects. An efficient release of Zn2+ in a glutathione-enriched tumor intracellular microenvironment and a prominent photothermal conversion manifested ZP NPs as zinc ion carriers and photothermal agents. Apoptotic death and autophagic mutp53 elimination were found to be induced by ZP NPs in R280K mutp53-containing MDA-MB-231 cells and hyperthermia was rendered to ameliorate the treatment in vitro through further mutp53 elimination and increased cell death. The combinatorial therapeutic effect was also confirmed in vivo in a mouse model. This study might expand zinc delivery carriers and shed a light on potential interplay of hyperthermia and mutp53 degradation in cancer treatment.

Abstract
In recent decades there has been growing interest of material chemists in the successful development of functional materials for drug delivery, tissue engineering, imaging, diagnosis, theranostic, and other biomedical applications with advanced nanotechnology tools. The efficacy and safety of functional materials are determined by their pharmacological, toxicological, and immunogenic effects. It is essential to consider all degradation pathways of functional materials and to assess plausible intermediates and final products for quality control. This review provides a brief insight into chemical degradation mechanisms of functional materials like oxidation, photodegradation, and physical and enzymatic degradation. The intermediates and products of degradation were confirmed with analytical methods such as proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), UV-vis spectroscopy (UV-vis), infrared spectroscopy (IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), mass spectroscopy, and other sophisticated analytical methods. These analytical methods are also used for regulatory, quality control, and stability purposes in industry. The assessment of degradation is important to predetermine the behavior of functional materials in specific storage conditions and can be relevant to their behavior during in vivo applications. Another important aspect is the evaluation of the toxicity of functional materials. Toxicity can be accessed with various methods using in vitro, in vivo, ex vivo, and in silico models. In vitro cell culture methods are used to determine mitochondrial damage, reactive oxygen species, stress responses, and cellular toxicity. In vitro cellular toxicity can be measured by MTT assay, LDH leakage assay, and hemolysis. In vivo studies are performed using various animal models involving zebrafish, rodents (mice and rats), and nonhuman primates. Ex vivo studies are also used for efficacy and toxicity determinations of functional materials like ex vivo potency assay and precision-cut liver slice (PCLS) models. The in silico tools with computational simulations like quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR), pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD), dose and time response, and quantitative cationic-activity relationships ((Q)CARs) are used for prediction of the toxicity of functional materials. In this review, we studied the principle methods used for degradation studies, different degradation pathways, and mechanisms of functional material degradation with prototype examples. We discuss toxicity assessments with different toxicity approaches used for estimation of the safety and efficacy of functional materials.

Abstract
Green synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) has garnered wide research interest due to inherent properties such as eco-friendliness, compatibility with substrates, and cost-effectiveness. Here, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) were successfully synthesized for the first time using Capsicum chinense fruit extract. The optical property of the green and conventionally synthesized ZnO-NPs was characterized by UV-vis spectrophotometer, which exhibited absorption peaks at 302 and 481 nm, respectively, and the morphology of the NPs was analyzed by transmission and scanning electron microscopies (TEM and SEM). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies showed that the hexagonal wurtzite phase was obtained, with high crystalline nature, while the electron dispersion X-ray study (EDX) revealed the purity of ZnO-NPs. The cytotoxicity assay of the biosynthesized and conventionally synthesized ZnO-NPs was evaluated using human embryonic kidney (HEK 293) and cervical carcinoma (HeLa) cell lines treated with various concentrations of the ZnO-NPs and they exhibited reasonable activity. Antioxidant activity of the ZnO-NPs was measured using 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay and the green ZnO-NPs exhibited higher activity compared to conventional ZnO-NPs. These findings proved that aqueous extracts of C. chinense fruit are effective for the biosynthesis of ZnO-NPs with anticancer and antioxidant potential.

Abstract
Like the proposal of nanotechnology by Richard Feynman, the nanoarchitectonics concept was initially proposed by Masakazu Aono. The nanoarchitectonics strategy conceptually fuses nanotechnology with other research fields including organic chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, micro/nanofabrication, materials science, and bio-related sciences, and aims to produce functional materials from nanoscale components. In this review article, bio-interactive nanoarchitectonics and two-dimensional materials and environments are discussed as a selected topic. The account gives general examples of nanoarchitectonics of two-dimensional materials for energy storage, catalysis, and biomedical applications, followed by explanations of bio-related applications with two-dimensional materials such as two-dimensional biomimetic nanosheets, fullerene nanosheets, and two-dimensional assemblies of one-dimensional fullerene nanowhiskers (FNWs). The discussion on bio-interactive nanoarchitectonics in two-dimensional environments further extends to liquid-liquid interfaces such as fluorocarbon-medium interfaces and viscous liquid interfaces as new frontiers of two-dimensional environments for bio-related applications. Controlling differentiation of stem cells at fluidic liquid interfaces is also discussed. Finally, a conclusive section briefly summarizes features of bio-interactive nanoarchitectonics with two-dimensional materials and environments and discusses possible future perspectives.

Abstract
To endow Ti-based orthopedic implants with strong bactericidal activity, a ZnO nanorods-patterned coating (namely ZNR) was fabricated on Ti utilizing a catalyst- and template-free method of micro-arc oxidation (MAO) and hydrothermal treatment (HT). The coating comprises an outer layer of ZnO nanorods and a partially crystallized inner layer with nanocrystalline TiO2 and Zn2TiO4 embedded amorphous matrix containing Ti, O and Zn. During HT, Zn2+ ions contained in amorphous matrix of the as-MAOed layer migrate to surface and react with OH− in hydrothermal solution to form ZnO nuclei growing in length at expense of the migrated Zn2+. ZNR exhibits intense bactericidal activity against the adhered and planktonic S. aureus in vitro and in vivo. The crucial contributors to kill the adhered bacteria are ZnO nanorods derived mechano-penetration and released reactive oxygen species (ROS). Within 30 min of S. aureus incubation, ROS is the predominant bactericidal contributor with quantitative contribution value of ∼20%, which transforms into mechano-penetration with prolonging time to reach quantitative contribution value of ∼96% at 24 h. In addition, the bactericidal contributor against the planktonic bacteria of ZNR is relied on the released Zn2+. This work discloses an in-depth bactericidal mechanism of ZnO nanorods. A templates and catalysts-free method is used to fabricate ZnO nanorods on Ti ZnO nanorods-arrayed coating shows intense broad-spectrum bactericidal activity Main bactericidal contributor of ZnO nanorods to adhered bacteria is mechano-puncture Main bactericidal contributor of ZnO nanorods to planktonic bacteria is released Zn2+

Abstract
The potential of nanomaterials use is huge, especially in fields such as medicine or industry. Due to widespread use of nanomaterials, their cytotoxicity and involvement in cellular pathways ought to be evaluated in detail. Nanomaterials can induce the production of a number of substances in cells, including reactive oxygen species (ROS), participating in physiological and pathological cellular processes. These highly reactive substances include: superoxide, singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical, and hydrogen peroxide. For overall assessment, there are a number of fluorescent probes in particular that are very specific and selective for given ROS. In addition, due to the involvement of ROS in a number of cellular signaling pathways, understanding the principle of ROS production induced by nanomaterials is very important. For defense, the cells have a number of reparative and especially antioxidant mechanisms. One of the most potent antioxidants is a tripeptide glutathione. Thus, the glutathione depletion can be a characteristic manifestation of harmful effects caused by the prooxidative-acting of nanomaterials in cells. For these reasons, here we would like to provide a review on the current knowledge of ROS-mediated cellular nanotoxicity manifesting as glutathione depletion, including an overview of approaches for the detection of ROS levels in cells.

Abstract
Most commonly recognized as a catabolic pathway, autophagy is a perplexing mechanism through which a living cell can free itself of excess cytoplasmic components, i.e., organelles, by means of certain membranous vesicles or lysosomes filled with degrading enzymes. Upon exposure to external insult or internal stimuli, the cell might opt to activate such a pathway, through which it can gain control over the maintenance of intracellular components and thus sustain homeostasis by intercepting the formation of unnecessary structures or eliminating the already present dysfunctional or inutile organelles. Despite such appropriateness, autophagy might also be considered a frailty for the cell, as it has been said to have a rather complicated role in tumorigenesis. A merit in the early stages of tumor formation, autophagy appears to be salutary because of its tumor-suppressing effects. In fact, several investigations on tumorigenesis have reported diminished levels of autophagic activity in tumor cells, which might result in transition to malignancy. On the contrary, autophagy has been suggested to be a seemingly favorable mechanism to progressed malignancies, as it contributes to survival of such cells. Based on the recent literature, this mechanism might also be activated upon the entry of engineered nanomaterials inside a cell, supposedly protecting the host from foreign materials. Accordingly, there is a good chance that therapeutic interventions for modulating autophagy in malignant cells using nanoparticles may sensitize cancerous cells to certain treatment modalities, e.g., radiotherapy. In this review, we will discuss the signaling pathways involved in autophagy and the significance of the mechanism itself in apoptosis and tumorigenesis while shedding light on possible alterations in autophagy through engineered nanomaterials and their potential therapeutic applications in cancer. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Autophagy has been said to have a complicated role in tumorigenesis. In the early stages of tumor formation, autophagy appears to be salutary because of its tumor-suppressing effects. On the contrary, autophagy has been suggested to be a favorable mechanism to progressed malignancies. This mechanism might be affected upon the entry of nanomaterials inside a cell. Accordingly, therapeutic interventions for modulating autophagy using nanoparticles may sensitize cancerous cells to certain therapies.

Abstract
Neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, stroke, and brain cancers are difficult to treat with current drugs as their delivery efficacy to the brain is severely hampered by the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Drug delivery systems have been extensively explored in recent decades aiming to circumvent this barrier. In particular, polymeric nanoparticles have shown enormous potentials owing to their unique properties, such as high tunability, ease of synthesis, and control over drug release profile. However, careful analysis of their performance in effective drug transport across the BBB should be performed using clinically relevant testing models. In this review, polymeric nanoparticle systems for drug delivery to the central nervous system are discussed with an emphasis on the effects of particle size, shape, and surface modifications on BBB penetration. Moreover, the authors critically analyze the current in vitro and in vivo models used to evaluate BBB penetration efficacy, including the latest developments in the BBB-on-a-chip models. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives for the development of polymeric nanoparticles to combat neurological disorders are discussed.

Cai J, Zang X, Wu Z, Liu J, Wang D. Altered protein S-glutathionylation depicts redox imbalance triggered by transition metal oxide nanoparticles in a breastfeeding system. NANOIMPACT 2021; 22:100305. [PMID: 35559962 DOI: 10.1016/j.impact.2021.100305] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2020] [Revised: 01/25/2021] [Accepted: 02/19/2021] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Nanosafety has become a public concern following nanotechnology development. By now, attention has seldom been paid to breastfeeding system, which is constructed by mammary physiological structure and derived substances (endogenous or exogenous), cells, tissues, organs, and individuals (mother and child), connecting environment and organism, and spans across mother-child dyad. Thus, breastfeeding system is a center of nutrients transport and a unique window of toxic susceptibility in the mother-child dyad. We applied metabolomics combined with redox proteomics to depict how nanoparticles cause metabolic burden via their spontaneous redox cycling in lactating mammary glands. Two widely used nanoparticles [titanium dioxide (nTiO2) and zinc oxide (nZnO)] were exposed to lactating mice via intranasal administration. Biodistribution and biopersistence of nTiO2 and nZnO in mammary glands destroyed its structure, reflective of significantly reduced claudin-3 protein level by 32.1% (P < 0.01) and 47.8% (P < 0.01), and significantly increased apoptosis index by 85.7 (P < 0.01) and 100.3 (P < 0.01) fold change, respectively. Airway exposure of nTiO2 trended to reduced milk production by 22.7% (P = 0.06), while nZnO significantly reduced milk production by 33.0% (P < 0.01). Metabolomics analysis revealed a metabolic shift by nTiO2 or nZnO, such as increased glycolysis (nTiO2: fold enrichment = 3.31, P < 0.05; nZnO: fold enrichment = 3.68, P < 0.05), glutathione metabolism (nTiO2: fold enrichment = 5.57, P < 0.01; nZnO: fold enrichment = 4.43, P < 0.05), and fatty acid biosynthesis (nTiO2: fold enrichment = 3.52, P < 0.05; nZnO: fold enrichment = 3.51, P < 0.05) for tissue repair at expense of lower milk fat synthesis (35.7% reduction by nTiO2; 51.8% reduction by nZnO), and finally led to oxidative stress of mammary glands. The increased GSSG/GSH ratio (57.5% increase by nTiO2; 105% increase by nZnO) with nanoparticle exposure confirmed an alteration in the redox state and a metabolic shift in mammary glands. Redox proteomics showed that nanoparticles induced S-glutathionylation (SSG) modification at Cys sites of proteins in a nanoparticle type-dependent manner. The nTiO2 induced more protein SSG modification sites (nTiO2: 21; nZnO:16), whereas nZnO induced fewer protein SSG modification sites but at deeper SSG levels (26.6% higher in average of nZnO than that of nTiO2). In detail, SSG modification by nTiO2 was characterized by Ltf at Cys423 (25.3% increase), and Trf at Cys386;395;583 (42.3%, 42.3%, 22.8% increase) compared with control group. While, SSG modification by nZnO was characterized by Trfc at Cys365 (71.3% increase) and Fasn at Cys1010 (41.0% increase). The discovery of SSG-modified proteins under airway nanoparticle exposure further supplemented the oxidative stress index and mammary injury index, and deciphered precise mechanisms of nanotoxicity into a molecular level. The unique quantitative site-specific redox proteomics and metabolomics can serve as a new technique to identify nanotoxicity and provide deep insights into nanoparticle-triggered oxidative stress, contributing to a healthy breastfeeding environment.

Abstract
Silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) are extensively applied in various field, which increased their health risks to humans. SiO2 NPs were reported to enter into blood through inhalation and meanwhile, the potential use of SiO2 NPs as drug carriers in vivo allows them to present in blood circulation to induce inflammation of vascular endothelial cells which can be closely related with cardiovascular diseases, whilst the intrinsic mechanism has not been well understood. In this study, we found a regulation of signal axis induced by amorphous SiO2 NPs that triggers pro-inflammatory responses in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). HUVECs exposed with SiO2 NPs generate excess amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), together with the up-regulation of cell inflammatory factors [interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrotic factor-α (TNF-α)] and cell adhesion molecules [intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1)]. In addition, SiO2 NPs were found to promote the translocation and release of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) from nucleus to cytoplasm, which was demonstrated to be regulated by ROS and NOD-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. Subsequently, toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) could bind with HMGB1, up-regulate the expression of myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) and then activate nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling pathway, ultimately induced the inflammatory response of HUVECs. Overall, out results revealed the related signaling pathways of cell inflammation induced by amorphous SiO2 NPs, which provided new insights in understanding SiO2 NPs-induced cytotoxicity and offered safety guidance for further nanomaterial application.

Abstract
Nanozymes aim to mimic enzyme activities. In addition to catalytic activity, nanozymes also need to have specificity and catalyze biologically relevant reactions under physiological conditions to fit in the definition of enzyme and to set nanozymes apart from typical inorganic catalysts. Previous discussions in the nanozyme field mainly focused on the types of reactions or certain analytical, biomedical or environmental applications. In this article, we discuss efforts made to mimic enzymes. First, the catalytic cycles are compared, where a key difference is specific substrate binding by enzymes versus non-specific substrate adsorption by nanozymes. We then reviewed efforts to engineer and surface-modify nanomaterials to accelerate reaction rates, strategies to graft affinity ligands and molecularly imprinted polymers to achieve specific catalysis, and methods to bring nanozyme reactions to neutral pH and ambient temperature. Most of the current nanozyme reactions used a few model chromogenic substrates of no biological relevance. Therefore, we also reviewed efforts to catalyze the conversion of biomolecules and biopolymers using nanozymes. By the efforts to close the gaps between nanozymes and enzymes, we believe nanozymes are catching up rapidly. Still, challenges exist in materials design to further improve nanozymes as true enzyme mimics and achieve impactful applications.

Abstract
Sestrin2 (Sesn2) is a powerful anti-oxidant that can prevent acute and chronic diseases. The role of Sesn2 has been thoroughly reviewed in liver, nervous system, and immune system diseases. However, there is a limited number of reviews that have summarized the effects of Sesn2 in heart and vascular diseases, and very less literature-based information is available on involvement of Sesn2 in renal and respiratory pathologies. This review summarizes the latest research on Sesn2 in multi-organ stress responses, with a particular focus on the protective role of Sesn2 in cardiovascular, respiratory, and renal diseases, emphasizing the potential therapeutic benefit of targeting Sesn2 in stress-related diseases.

Abstract
Nowadays, air pollution has become a global menace being responsible of a significant increase on the morbidity and mortality of human beings. In view of this, sustainable and efficient technologies for air purification are being sought. Air purification by photocatalytic treatment has received a lot of attention due to the unspecific and high oxidation capacity of the catalyst; however still some variables must be optimized to assure practical applications. In this work, visible light active TiO2-Cu2+@perlite and Ag@TiO2-Cu2+/perlite supported materials were fabricated. TiO2-Cu2+ (2 at. %) were synthesized using a sol-gel procedure followed of the impregnation of the support by immersion. For Ag@TiO2-Cu2+, silver deposition was conducted by chemical reduction using sodium citrate and sodium borohydride. The materials (powders and supported materials) were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to demonstrate their small size and adherence to the substrate. A prototype of a photocatalytic air purifier was built. The efficacy of the prototype was evaluated for the disinfection of indoor air (dentistry clinics). The photo-catalyst was activated using visible and UVA low-cost high-energy LEDs. The antibacterial activity of the air filter was evaluated. Ag@TiO2-Cu2+ exerts better air disinfection activity at lower doses in comparison to TiO2-Cu2+. Bacterial growth inhibitions up to 99% were achieved for both, Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The incorporation of Ag and Cu to TiO2 improves the antibacterial activity of the materials due to enhanced photocatalytic activity and the synergic activity of TiO2 and dopant elements (Ag, Cu) to inhibit microorganism's growth.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2020; 16:e2000963. [PMID: 32338442 PMCID: PMC8074924 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202000963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2020] [Revised: 03/20/2020] [Accepted: 03/23/2020] [Indexed: 05/04/2023]
Abstract
Exposure to inhaled anthropogenic nanomaterials (NM) with dimension <100 nm has been implicated in numerous adverse respiratory outcomes. Although studies have identified key NM physiochemical determinants of pneumonic nanotoxicity, the complex interactive and cumulative effects of NM exposure, especially in individuals with preexisting inflammatory respiratory diseases, remain unclear. Herein, the susceptibility of primary human small airway epithelial cells (SAEC) exposed to a panel of reference NM, namely, CuO, ZnO, mild steel welding fume (MSWF), and nanofractions of copier center particles (Nano-CCP), is examined in normal and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)-induced inflamed SAEC. Compared to normal SAEC, inflamed cells display an increased susceptibility to NM-induced cytotoxicity by 15-70% due to a higher basal level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Among the NM screened, ZnO, CuO, and Nano-CCP are observed to trigger an overcompensatory response in normal SAEC, resulting in an increased tolerance against subsequent oxidative insults. However, the inflamed SAEC fails to adapt to the NM exposure due to an impaired nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-mediated cytoprotective response. The findings reveal that susceptibility to pulmonary nanotoxicity is highly dependent on the interplay between NM properties and inflammation of the alveolar milieu.

Acta Biomater 2020; 107:313-324. [PMID: 32126308 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2020.02.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2019] [Revised: 02/11/2020] [Accepted: 02/24/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
Titanium-based endosseous implants with high antibacterial and osseointegration activities are extremely required in clinics. To achieve this line, herein the doped coatings with three kinds of Zn doses were micro-arc oxidized (MAOed) on Ti. They were examined to reveal a bilayered structure, in which the outer layer consisted completely of the amorphism comprising elements of Ti, O and Zn with Zn doped in the form of weaken Zn-O bonds, and the underlying layer was partially crystallized with nanocrystalline TiO2 and Zn2TiO4 to embed an amorphous matrix. While the Zn doped doses of the surface amorphous layers increased with elevating the MAOed voltages, the weaken Zn-O bonds in the amorphism were identified to act as both the contributor of Zn2+ controllable release and the generator of reactive oxide species (ROS) on the coatings. The enhanced HO• and O2-• formation on the elevated voltage MAOed coatings caused serious break of the cell walls and plasma membranes of S. aureus. In parallel, the enhanced Zn2+ release and extracellular H2O2 formation led to the enhanced intracellular ROS level of S. aureus, further aggravating the damage of plasma membrane, resulting in bacteria death. On contrary to the overdose of Zn doped coating, the moderate doses of Zn doped coatings did not induce additional intracellular ROS and attenuate viability and proliferation of osteoblasts in vitro, and promoted osseointegration in both S. aureus-uninfected and infected rat tibias, which ascribed to the strong antibacterial activity and un-attenuated cell function of the coatings in the infected case. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: (1) The Zn-doped coatings revealed a bilayered structure of the surface layer comprising the Ti, O and Zn constructed amorphism with Zn in the form of weaken Zn-O bonds, and the underlying layer comprising nanocrystalline TiO2 and Zn2TiO4 to embed amorphous matrix. (2) The weaken Zn-O bonds in the amorphism were identified to act as both the contributor of Zn2+ controllable release and the generator of ROS on the coatings. (3) The enhanced Zn2+ release and ROS formation on the coatings killed S. aureus by inducing serious break of their cell walls and plasma membranes. This effect in combination of un-attenuated osteoblast proliferation endowed the moderate Zn doped coatings with enhanced osseointegration in S. aureus-infected rat tibias.

[PMID: 32170066 PMCID: PMC7070056 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-020-2384-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 58] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2019] [Revised: 02/24/2020] [Accepted: 02/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Exposure to nanomaterials (NMs) is an emerging threat to human health, and the understanding of their intracellular behavior and related toxic effects is urgently needed. Ferroptosis is a newly discovered, iron-mediated cell death that is distinctive from apoptosis or other cell-death pathways. No evidence currently exists for the effect of “iron free” engineered NMs on ferroptosis. We showed by several approaches that (1) zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs)-induced cell death involves ferroptosis; (2) ZnO NPs-triggered ferroptosis is associated with elevation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation, along with depletion of glutathione (GSH) and downregulation of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4); (3) ZnO NPs disrupt intracellular iron homeostasis by orchestrating iron uptake, storage and export; (4) p53 largely participates in ZnO NPs-induced ferroptosis; and (5) ZnO particle remnants and dissolved zinc ion both contribute to ferroptosis. In conclusion, our data provide a new mechanistic rationale for ferroptosis as a novel cell-death phenotype induced by engineered NMs.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are among nanoscale materials, attracting increasing attention owing to their exceptional set of characteristics, which makes these engineered nanoparticles a great option for improving the quality and effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment. The capacity of ZnO NPs to induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, DNA damage, and apoptosis represents a promise for their use in both cancer therapy and microbial treatment. However, their intrinsic toxicity together with their easy entrance and accumulation in organism have raised some concerns regarding the biomedical use of these NPs. Several studies have reported that ZnO NPs might induce cytotoxic effects on the male reproductive system, compromising male fertility. Despite some advances in this area, the knowledge of the effects of ZnO NPs on male fertility is still scarce. Overall, a brief outline of the major ZnO NPs biomedical applications and promises in terms of diagnostic and therapeutic use will also be explored. Further, this review intends to discuss the effect of ZnO NPs exposure on the male reproductive system and speculate their effects on male (in)fertility.

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

Abstract
Nano-sized zinc oxide (ZnO) is present in food packaging, putting consumers at risk of ingestion. There is little information on the amount of ZnO nanoparticles (NP) present in food packaging and the effects of ZnO NP ingestion on intestinal function. To estimate physiologically relevant ZnO NP exposures from food that are commonly packaged with ZnO NP, food samples were analyzed with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). An in vitro model of the small intestine was used to investigate the effects of ZnO NP exposure. Cells were exposed to pristine NP in culture medium and to NP subjected to an in vitro digestion process to better reflect the transformation that the NP undergo in the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The findings show that a physiologically relevant dose of ZnO NP can cause a significant decrease in glucose transport, which is consistent with gene expression changes for the basolateral glucose transporter GLUT2. There is also evidence that the ZnO NP affect the microvilli of the intestinal cells, therefore reducing the amount of surface area available to absorb nutrients. These results suggest that the ingestion of ZnO NP can alter nutrient absorption in an in vitro model of the human small intestine.

Abstract
In the search for novel tools to combat cancer, nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted a lot of attention. Recently, the controlled release of cancer-cell-killing metal ions from doped NPs has shown promise, but fine tuning of dissolution kinetics is required to ensure specificity and minimize undesirable toxic side-effects. Theoretical tools to help in reaching a proper understanding and finally be able to control the dissolution kinetics by NP design have not been available until now. Here, we present a novel set of true nanodescriptors to analyze the charge distribution, the effect of doping and surface coating of whole metal oxide NP structures. The polarizable model of oxygen atoms enables light to be shed on the charge distribution on the NP surface, allowing the in detail study of the factors influencing the release of metal ions from NPs. The descriptors and their capabilities are demonstrated on a Fe-doped ZnO nanoparticle system, a system with practical outlook and available experimental data.

Abstract
This review examines the interaction of nanomaterials (NMs) with cells from the perspective of major cellular differentiations. The structure and composition of cells reflect their role and function in a particular organ or environment. The normal differentiated-state and diseased cells may respond to NMs very differently. This review progresses with due care on nanotoxicology while emphasizing the potential of NMs in treating stress-associated disorders, including cancer and degeneration. The striking potential of NMs in inducing ROS, scavenging ROS, depleting cellular antioxidants, replenishing antioxidants, mimicking antioxidant enzyme activity, and modulating the immune system all show their considerable potential in treating cancer and other aging-associated disorders. It is now clear that NMs become more active and versatile when they come into contact with biological machinery, surprisingly in some cases, in a manner dependent on cell type. The mechanisms leading to the contrasting bioresponse of NMs ranging from toxicity to anticancer and from cell survival to carcinogenicity followed by their immuno-modulating potential show NMs to be a highly promising agent in biomedical therapy. This first-of-its-kind article seeks the challenges to be addressed that could provide a solid rationale in translating the promises of nanomedicine. A thorough understanding of normal and cancer biology could help to minimize the gap between basic and translational research in nanotechnology-based therapy.

Abstract
Thanks to recent advances in the synthesis of high-quality inorganic nanoparticles, more and more types of nanoparticles are becoming available for medical applications. Especially, metal oxide nanoparticles have drawn much attention due to their unique physicochemical properties and relatively inexpensive production costs. To further promote the development and clinical translation of these nanoparticle-based agents, however, it is highly desirable to reduce unwanted interbatch variations of the nanoparticles because characterizing and refining each batch are costly, take a lot of effort, and, thus, are not productive. Large-scale synthesis is a straightforward and economic pathway to minimize this issue. Here, the recent achievements in the large-scale synthesis of uniform-sized metal oxide nanoparticles and their biomedical applications are summarized, with a focus on nanoparticles of transition metal oxides and lanthanide oxides, and clarifying the underlying mechanism for the synthesis of uniform-sized nanoparticles. Surface modification steps to endow hydrophobic nanoparticles with water dispersibility and biocompatibility are also briefly described. Finally, various medical applications of metal oxide nanoparticles, such as bioimaging, drug delivery, and therapy, are presented.

Abstract
One of the biggest obstacles for the use of antisense oligonucleotides as antibacterial therapeutics is their limited uptake by bacterial cells without a suitable carrier, especially in multi-drug-resistant bacteria with a drug efflux mechanism. Existing vectors, such as cell-penetrating peptides, are inefficient and nontargeting, and accordingly are not ideal carriers. A noncytotoxic tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (TDN) with a controllable conformation has been developed as a delivery vehicle for antisense oligonucleotides. In this study, antisense peptide nucleic acids (asPNAs) targeting a specific gene ( ftsZ) were efficiently transported into methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus cells by TDNs, and the expression of ftsZ was successfully inhibited in an asPNA-concentration-dependent manner. The delivery system specifically targeted the intended gene. This novel delivery system provides a better platform for future applications of antisense antibacterial therapeutics and provides a basis for the development of a new type of antibacterial drug for multi-drug-resistant bacterial infections.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NP) may be present in food packaging, which would put consumers at risk of NP ingestion. There is little information on the amount of ZnO NP that are present in food packaging and the effects of ZnO exposure on intestinal function. To estimate physiologically relevant ZnO exposures, foods that are naturally low in zinc (Zn), but are commonly packaged with ZnO NP, such as tuna, corn, and asparagus, were analyzed with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). It was found that the Zn present in a serving of these foods is approximately one hundred times higher than the recommended dietary allowance. An in vitro model of the small intestine composed of Caco-2 and HT29-MTX cells was used to investigate the effects of ZnO NP exposure. Cells were exposed to physiologically realistic doses of pristine NP in culture medium and to NP subjected to an in vitro digestion to better reflect the transformation that the NP may undergo once they enter the human GI tract. Uptake and/or transport of iron (Fe), Zn, glucose, and fatty acids were assessed and intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) levels were measured before and after NP exposure. The findings show that there is a 75% decrease in Fe transport and a 30% decrease in glucose transport following ZnO NP exposure. These decreases were consistent with gene expression changes for their transporters. There is also evidence that the ZnO NP affect the microvilli of the intestinal cells, therefore reducing the amount of surface area available to absorb nutrients. These results suggest that the ingestion of physiologically relevant doses of ZnO NP can alter intestinal function in an in vitro model of the human small intestine.

Abstract
Nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO-NPs) are increasingly used and concerns have been raised on its toxicity. Although a few studies have reported the toxicity of NiO-NPs, a comprehensive understanding of NiO-NPs toxicity in human cells is still lagging. In this study, we integrated transcriptomic approach and genotoxic evidence to depict the mechanism of NiO-NPs toxicity in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells. DNA damage analysis was done using comet assay, which showed 26-fold greater tail moment in HepG2 cells at the highest concentration of 100 μg/ml. Flow cytometric analysis showed concentration dependent enhancement in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Real-time PCR analysis of apoptotic (p53, bax, bcl2) and oxidative stress (SOD1) genes showed transcriptional upregulation. Transcriptome analysis using qPCR array showed over expression of mRNA transcripts related to six different cellular pathways. Our data unequivocally suggests that NiO-NPs induces oxidative stress, DNA damage, apoptosis and transcriptome alterations in HepG2 cells.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) exhibit abundant biomedical applications. Anisotropic ZnONPs with a defined shape and size were synthesized using Bacillus megaterium (NCIM 2326) cell free extract as a bio-reductant. The study investigated the multidimensional effect of ZnONPs on Helicobacter pylori strains and assessed its biosafety in normal human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSc). The highly stable ZnONPs were produced using B. megaterium and Zinc nitrate as a precursor. The phase of ZnONPs formation and structural characterization were performed by UV- visible (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) analysis. Furthermore, the ZnONPs exhibited higher biocompatibility against human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) and proved to be potentially safe in mammalian cells. Corroborating the current investigation, we described the anti-H. Pylori dosage of ZnONPs was safe to hMSC and could efficiently use as nano-antibiotic.

Toxicol In Vitro 2017; 47:238-248.

Abstract
Recently, designed platelet shaped micron particles that are composed of nano primary particles, called MicNo (=Micron+naNo) particles, have been developed to exploit the benefits of nano size, while removing the adverse effects of nanoparticles. It has been shown that MicNo-ZnO particles exhibit both micron and nanosized particle characteristics. Although physical and chemical properties of MicNo-ZnO particles have been studied, their biocompatibility has not yet been evaluated. Accordingly, the research objective of this study was to evaluate in vitro cytotoxicity, genotoxicity and phototoxicity behaviors of designed MicNo-ZnO particles over human epidermal keratinocyte (HaCaT) cells. MicNo-ZnO particles exhibit much less cytotoxicity with IC50 concentrations between 40 and 50μg/ml, genotoxicity above 40μg/ml and lower photo genotoxicity under UVA on HaCaT than the ZnO nanoparticles. Although their chemistries are the same, the source of this difference in toxicity values may be attributed to size differences between the particles that are probably due to their ability to penetrate into the cells. In the present study, the expansive and detailed in vitro toxicity tests show that the biocompatibility of MicNo-ZnO particles is much better than that of the ZnO nanoparticles. Consequently, MicNo-ZnO particles can be considered an important active ingredient alternative for sunscreen applications due to their safer characteristics with respect to ZnO nanoparticles.

Abstract
Due to the widespread applications of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), the potential exposure of workers, consumers, and scientists to these particles has increased. This potential for exposure has attracted extensive attention in the science community. Many studies have examined the toxicological profile of ZnO NPs in the immune system, digestive system, however, information regarding the toxicity of ZnO NPs in the nervous system is scarce. In this study, we detected the cytotoxicity of two types of ZnO NPs of various sizes - ZnOa NPs and ZnOb NPs - and we characterized the shedding ability of zinc ions within culture medium and the cytoplasm. We found that reactive oxygen species played a crucial role in ZnO NP-induced cytotoxicity, likely because zinc ions were leached from ZnO NPs. Apoptosis and cytoskeleton changes were also toxic responses induced by the ZnO NPs, and ZnOb NPs induced more significant toxic responses than ZnOa NPs in SHSY5Y cells. In conclusion, ZnO NPs induced toxic responses in SHSY5Y cells in a size-dependent manner, which can probably be attributed to their ion-shedding ability.

Abstract
Graphite nanoparticles (GNPs) might result in unexpected effects during their transportation and transformation in wastewater treatment systems, including strong thermo-catalytic and catalytic effects and microbial cytotoxicity. In particular, the effects of GNPs on the nitrification process in activated sludge systems should be addressed. This study aimed to estimate the influence of GNPs on the nitrification process in a short-term nitrification reactor with exposure to different light sources. The results indicated that GNPs could only improve the efficiency of photothermal transformation slightly in the activated sludge system because of its photothermal effects under the standard illuminant (imitating 1 × sun). However, even with better photothermal effects, the nitrification efficiency still decreased significantly with GNP dosing under the standard illuminant, which might result from stronger cytotoxic effects of GNPs on the nitrifying bacteria. The disappearance of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) around bacterial cells was observed, and the total quantity of viable bacteria decreased significantly after GNP exposuring. Variation in bacterial groups primarily occurred in nitrifying microbial communities, including Nitrosomonas sp., Nitrosospira sp., Comamonas sp. and Bradyrhizobiace sp. Nitrifiers significantly decreased, while the phyla Gammaproteobacteria, Deinocccus, and Bacteroidetes exhibited greater stability during GNP treatment.

Abstract
Cancer cells have unique but widely varying characteristics that have proven them difficult to be treated by classical therapeutics and calls for novel and selective treatment options. Nanomaterials (NMs) have been shown to display biological effects as a function of their chemical composition, and the extent and exact nature of these effects can vary between different biological environments. Here, ZnO NMs are doped with increasing levels of Fe, which allows to finely tune their dissolution rate resulting in significant differences in their biological behavior on cancer or normal cells. Based on in silico analysis, 2% Fe-doped ZnO NMs are found to be optimal to cause selective cancer cell death, which is confirmed in both cultured cells and syngeneic tumor models, where they also reduce metastasis formation. These results show that upon tuning NM chemical composition, NMs can be designed as a targeted selective anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) can have profound effects on cell biology. However, the potential adverse effects of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with different surface chirality and structures have not been elucidated. In this study, monolayers of poly(acryloyl-l(d)-valine (l(d)-PAV) chiral molecules were anchored on the surfaces of gold nanocubes (AuNCs) and nanooctahedras (AuNOs), respectively. The l-PAV-AuNCs and d-PAV-AuNCs, or the l-PAV-AuNOs and d-PAV-AuNOs, had identical physicochemical properties in terms of size, morphology and ligand density except of the reverse molecular chirality on the particle surfaces, respectively. The l-PAV capped AuNCs and AuNOs exhibited larger cytotoxicity to A549 cells than the D-PAV coated ones, and the PAV-AuNOs had larger cytotoxicity than PAV-AuNCs when being capped with the same type of enantiomers, respectively. The cytotoxicity was positively correlated with the cellular uptake amount, and thereby the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE • Gold nanoparticles with different structure and surface chirality are fabricated. • The structure and surface chirality at the nanoscale can influence cytotoxicity and genotoxicity. • A new perspective on designing nanoparticles for drug delivery, bioimaging and diagnosis.

Abstract
As a widely used nanomaterial in daily life, silver nanomaterials may cause great concern to female reproductive system as they are found to penetrate the blood-placental barrier and gain access to the ovary. However, it is largely unknown about how silver nanomaterials influence ovarian physiology and functions such as hormone production. This study performs in vitro toxicology study of silver nanomaterials, focusing especially on cytotoxicity and steroidogenesis and explores their underlying mechanisms. This study exposes primary rat granulosa cells to gold nanorod core/silver shell nanostructures (Au@Ag NRs), and compares outcomes with cells exposed to gold nanorods. The Au@Ag NRs generate more reactive oxygen species and reduce mitochondrial membrane potential and less production of adenosine triphosphate. Au@Ag NRs promote steroidogenesis, including progesterone and estradiol, in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Chemical reactivity and transformation of Au@Ag NRs are then studied by electron spin resonance spectroscopy and X-ray absorption near edge structure, which analyze the generation of free radical and intracellular silver species. Results suggest that both particle-specific activity and intracellular silver ion release of Au@Ag NR contribute to the toxic response of granulosa cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The balance between oxidation and anti-oxidation is believed to be critical in maintaining healthy biological systems. However, our endogenous antioxidant defense systems are incomplete without exogenous antioxidants and, therefore, there is a continuous demand for exogenous antioxidants to prevent stress and ageing associated disorders. Nanotechnology has yielded enormous variety of nanomaterials (NMs) of which metallic and carbonic (mainly fullerenes) NMs, with redox property, have been found to be strong scavengers of ROS and antioxidants in preclinical in vitro and in vivo models. SCOPE OF REVIEW Redox activity of metal based NMs and membrane translocation time of fullerene NMs seem to be the major determinants in ROS scavenging potential exhibited by these NMs. A comprehensive knowledge about the effects of ROS scavenging NMs in cellular antioxidant signalling is largely lacking. This review compiles the mechanisms of ROS scavenging as well as antioxidant signalling of the aforementioned metallic and fullerene NMs. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS Direct interaction between NMs and proteins does greatly affect the corona/adsorption formation dynamics but such interaction does not provide the explanation behind diverse biological outcomes induced by NMs. Indirect interaction, however, that could occur via NMs uptake and dissolution, NMs ROS induction and ROS scavenging property, and NMs membrane translocation time seem to work as a central mode of interaction. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE The usage of potential antioxidant NMs in biological systems would greatly impact the field of nanomedicine. ROS scavenging NMs hold great promise in the future treatment of ROS related degenerative disorders.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) possess unique physical and chemical properties that make them appropriate for various applications. The structural alteration of metallic NPs leads to different biological functions, specifically resulting in different potentials for the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The amount of ROS produced by metallic NPs correlates with particle size, shape, surface area, and chemistry. ROS possess multiple functions in cellular biology, with ROS generation a key factor in metallic NP-induced toxicity, as well as modulation of cellular signaling involved in cell death, proliferation, and differentiation. In this review, we briefly explained NP classes and their biomedical applications and describe the sources and roles of ROS in NP-related biological functions in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, we also described the roles of metal NP-induced ROS generation in stem cell biology. Although the roles of ROS in metallic NP-related biological functions requires further investigation, modulation and characterization of metallic NP-induced ROS production are promising in the application of metallic NPs in the areas of regenerative medicine and medical devices.
