Wei Y, Cai Z, Ma A, Zhang H. Rheology and gelation of aqueous carboxymethylated curdlan solution: Impact of the degree of substitution. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 332:121921. [PMID: 38431398 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.121921] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
Curdlan is a unique (1,3)-β-D-glucan with bioactivity and exceptional gelling properties. By chemical functionalization such as carboxymethylation, the physicochemical properties of curdlan can be significantly tailored. However, how the carboxymethylation extent of curdlan affects its rheology and gelation characteristics has yet to be fully understood. Herein, we investigated the impact of the degree of substitution (DS, ranging from 0.04 to 0.97) on the rheological and gelation behavior of carboxymethylated curdlan (CMCD). It was found that CMCD with DS below 0.20, resembling native curdlan, still retained its gelling capability. As the DS increased beyond 0.36, there was a significant increase in its water solubility instead of gelation, resulting in transparent solutions with steady/complex viscosities adhering to the Cox-Merz rule. Moreover, CMCD with high DS demonstrated the ability to undergo in-situ gelation in the presence of metal ions, attributed to the nonspecific electrostatic binding. Additionally, in vitro cytocompatibility testing showed positive compatibility across varying DS in CMCD. This research offers a holistic understanding of the viscosifying and gelling behaviors of CMCD with varying DS, thereby fostering their practical application as thickeners and gelling agents in fields ranging from food and biomedicine to cosmetics and beyond.

Yuan P, Liu L, Aipire A, Zhao Y, Cai S, Wu L, Yang X, Aimaier A, Lu J, Li J. Evaluation and mechanism of immune enhancement effects of Pleurotus ferulae polysaccharides-gold nanoparticles. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 227:1015-1026. [PMID: 36460244 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.11.277] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2022] [Revised: 11/26/2022] [Accepted: 11/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022]
Abstract
We previously demonstrated that Pleurotus ferulae polysaccharide (PFPS) promoted dendritic cell (DC) maturation through the TLR4 signaling pathway. To improve PFPS activity and bioavailability, gold nanoparticles with PFPS (PFPS-Au NPs) were synthesized. Of note, although the polysaccharide content of PFPS-Au NPs was only one tenth of PFPS, PFPS-Au NPs enhanced the immunostimulatory activities of PFPS in the maturation and function of dendritic cells (DCs) by TLR4 and NLRP3 signaling pathways, evidenced by stronger activation of the down-stream MAPK and NF-κB pathways and NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. More importantly, PFPS-Au NPs enhanced DC migration and murine immunity, particularly in type 1 T-helper cell responses. Moreover, the half-life of PFPS-Au NPs (2.217 ± 0.187 h) was longer than that of PFPS (1.39 ± 0.257 h) in the blood and the distribution of PFPS-Au NPs (19.8 %) in the spleen was significantly increased compared with PFPS (13.3 %), indicating the improved bioavailability in vivo. PFPS-Au NPs as an adjuvant promoted antigen-specific cellular immune responses to an HPV DC-based vaccine, which significantly inhibited the growth of TC-1 tumors in mice. All results suggest that the prepared Au NPs could enhance PFPS-immunostimulatory activity, which will pave the way for PFPS-Au NPs to be applied in clinical trials.

Abstract
The present research focuses on synthesizing selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) coated with Methionine and Folic acid. selenium-methionine-folate nanoparticles (Se-Met-Fa NPs) were prepared by the chemical precipitation method. These were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, X-ray diffraction, Zeta potential, ICP-AES, TEM, and Raman spectroscopy. The average diameter of nanoparticles was determined by TEM was 50 nm. In Vitro viability of cells exposed to Se-Met-Fa NPs were studied using MTT and AO/EB assay. Approximately 80% of cells were viable at 100 μg/ml concentration after 24 h of incubation, suggestive of the safety of nanoparticles. Macromolecular interaction studies were carried out with plasmid DNA and Bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein. UV-Vis Spectroscopy showed ground state complex formation of Se-Met-Fa NPs with BSA. Intrinsic fluorescence of BSA was quenched by Se-met-Fa NPs via Static quenching and was observed under Spectro-fluorimetry. Conformational structural change in α-Helices of BSA was observed to be 4.4% after the interaction with Se-Met-Fa NPs, and it was studied using CD spectroscopy. At 250 μg/ml Se-Met-Fa NPs prevented oxidative damage of Plasmid DNA. The total antioxidant property of Se-Met-Fa NPs expressed in terms of scavenging of free DPPH radicals. Ten micrograms per milliliter could inhibit 41% of DPPH, proving its scavenger role at the lowest concentration. Nanoparticles comprising antioxidant semi-conducting cores and encapsulated by biomaterials that are highly bioavailable can be promising therapeutic agents for inflammation and oxidative stress disorders studies.

Abstract
In this work, we prepared gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by employing gluconic acid (GlcA) as reducing-cum-stabilizing agent. The proposed GlcA-AuNPs successfully worked as a colorimetric sensor for visual chiral recognition of aromatic amino acid enantiomers, namely tyrosine (D/L-Tyr), phenylalanine (D/L-Phe), and tryptophan (D/L-Trp). After adding L-types to GlcA-AuNPs solution, the color of the mixture changed from red to purple (or gray), while no obvious color change occurred on the addition of D-types. The effect can be detected by naked eyes. The particles have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, zeta potential, the dynamic light scattering analysis as well as UV-Vis spectroscopy. This assay can be used to determine the enantiomeric excess of L-Trp in the range from 0 to + 100%. The method has advantages in simplicity, sensitivity, fast response, and low cost.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop new organic/inorganic nanohybrids of targeted pullulan derivative/gold nanoparticles (FA-PABA-Q188-PUL@AuNPs) to improve the selectivity and efficacy of drugs. The chemical structure of targeted pullulan derivative, folic acid-decorated para-aminobenzoic acid-quat188-pullulan (FA-PABA-Q188-PUL), was designed for reducing, stabilizing, capping, and functionalizing AuNPs. Here, the key factors, including pH, temperature, and FA-PABA-Q188-PUL concentrations, were systematically optimized to control the morphology, size, and functionalization of multifunctional FA-PABA-Q188-PUL@AuNPs. Spherical FA-PABA-Q188-PUL@AuNPs obtained by a green, simple, and bio-inspired strategy under the optimum conditions were thoroughly characterized and had an average size of 12.6 ± 1.5 nm. The anticancer drug DOX was successfully loaded on monodispersed FA-PABA-Q188-PUL@AuNPs and the system exhibited excellent intracellular uptake, specificity, and physicochemical properties. The pH-responsive DOX release from FA-PABA-Q188-PUL@AuNPs-DOX showed fast release (85% after 72 h) under acidic conditions. Furthermore, FA-PABA-Q188-PUL@AuNPs-DOX enhanced the anticancer activity of DOX toward Chago-k1 cancer cells up to 4.8-fold and showed less cytotoxicity toward normal cells than free DOX. The FA-PABA-Q188-PUL@AuNPs-DOX induced the death of cells by increasing late apoptotic cells (26.4%) and arresting the cell cycle at S-G2/M phases. These results showed that innovative FA-PABA-Q188-PUL@AuNPs should be considered as new candidate platforms for anticancer drug delivery systems.

Abstract
A facile one-pot synthetic method for preparing gold nanoparticles by employing sugammadex (SUG), a carboxylic acid functionalized γ-cyclodextrin derivative, as reducing-cum-stabilizing agent herein was reported for the first time. The SUG protected gold nanoparticles (SUG-AuNPs) can work as a colorimetric sensor for visual chiral recognition of α-amino acids enantiomers, especially for lysine (Lys) and asparagine (Asn) enantiomers. The chiral recognition assay was successfully applied to determining the enantiometric excess of L-Lys and L-Asn ranging from -100 % to 100 % respectively. Moreover, the prepared SUG-AuNPs was found to exhibit efficient catalytic activity towards the reduction of toxic 4-nitrophenol by NaBH4 and the efficiency of the system was further demonstrated through the reduction of other typical nitroaromatics under mild condition. The as-synthesized SUG-AuNPs shows good performance for both chiral sensing and reduction activity and thus may facilitate the practical application in the area of both chiral discrimination and catalysis.

Abstract
This study reports biosynthesis of gold-nanoparticles (AuNPs) by using β-d-glucans isolated from the yeast Yarrowia lypolitica D1. β-d-glucans serve as reducing and stabilizing mediators that induce the formation of AuNPs on the outer surface of the own β-d-glucan. The systems were physicochemically characterized by ultraviolet visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analyses. The results revealed the generation of AuNPs with quasi-spherical shape or large one dimension (1D) gold-nanostructures (AuNSs) depending on the HAuCl4 concentration. A cytotoxic study was assessed in mouse splenocytes. Contrary to that expected, important cytotoxicity was found in all β-d-gluc+AuNPs systems by an oxidative stress increase. This study discusses the cytotoxic mechanism, suggesting that the resulting β-d-gluc+AuNPs systems may not be candidates for the formulation of immunostimulants or nanocarriers for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticles have received great attention from researchers across the world because of a plethora of applications in agriculture and the biomedical field as antioxidants and antimicrobial compounds. Over the past few years, green nanotechnology has emerged as a significant approach for the synthesis and fabrication of metal nanoparticles. This green route employs various reducing and stabilizing agents from biological resources for the synthesis of nanoparticles. The present article aims to review the progress made in recent years on nanoparticle biosynthesis by microbes. These microbial resources include bacteria, fungi, yeast, algae and viruses. This review mainly focuses on the biosynthesis of the most commonly studied metal and metal salt nanoparticles such as silver, gold, platinum, palladium, copper, cadmium, titanium oxide, zinc oxide and cadmium sulphide. These nanoparticles can be used in pharmaceutical products as antimicrobial and anti-biofilm agents, targeted delivery of anticancer drugs, water electrolysis, waste water treatment, biosensors, biocatalysis, crop protection against pathogens, degradation of dyes etc. This review will discuss in detail various microbial modes of nanoparticles synthesis and the mechanism of their synthesis by various bioreducing agents such as enzymes, peptides, proteins, electron shuttle quinones and exopolysaccharides. A thorough understanding of the molecular mechanism of biosynthesis is the need of the hour to develop a technology for large scale production of bio-mediated nanoparticles. The present review also discusses the advantages of various microbial approaches in nanoparticles synthesis and lacuna involved in such processes. This review also highlights the recent milestones achieved on large scale production and future perspectives of nanoparticles.

Abstract
Fluorescent dye staining combined with fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry is becoming a routine way to monitor microorganism viability that is necessary for food safety, antibiotic development, and human health. However, the conventional live/dead assay dyes suffer from high cost, inconvenient staining steps, and high cytotoxicity, which is urgently needed to overcome. Herein, cheap carbon dots, CDs-EPS605, were reported to successfully assess microbial viability in a convenient way with neglectable cytotoxicity. The fluorescent N-doped CDs-EPS605 could be facilely prepared from bacterial amino exopolysaccharide (EPS) by one-step hydrothermal carbonization, which is cost-effective and sustainable. The negatively charged CDs-EPS605 consisted of C, H, O, N, P, and S, and featured various functional groups, including -COOH, -OH, -CONH-, and -NH2. CDs-EPS605 were observed to sensitively and selectively stain dead microorganisms instead of live ones to enable discrimination of live/dead microorganisms. The labeling method with CDs-EPS605 did not require protection from light, or washing, which is convenient. Additionally, CDs-EPS605 displayed better photostability and much less cytotoxicity compared to the commercial counterpart. Altogether, CDs-EPS605 represent a simple, yet powerful staining agent for microbial viability assessment, and at the same time enrich the current applications of microbial EPS.

Abstract
Bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are biomolecules secreted in the extracellular space and have diverse biological functionalities, such as environmental protection, surface adherence, and cellular interactions. EPSs have been found to be biocompatible and eco-friendly, therefore making them suitable for applications in many areas of study and various industrial products. Recently, synthesis and stabilization of metal nanoparticles have been of interest because their usefulness for many biomedical applications, such as antimicrobials, anticancer drugs, antioxidants, drug delivery systems, chemical sensors, contrast agents, and as catalysts. In this context, bacterial EPSs have been explored as agents to aid in a greener production of a myriad of metal nanoparticles, since they have the ability to reduce metal ions to form nanoparticles and stabilize them acting as capping agents. In addition, by incorporating EPS to the metal nanoparticles, the EPS confers them biocompatibility. Thus, the present review describes the main bacterial EPS utilized in the synthesis and stabilization of metal nanoparticles, the mechanisms involved in this process, and the different applications of these nanoparticles, emphasizing in their biomedical applications.

Abstract
Continuing efforts have been made to explore novel exopolysaccharides (EPSs) for valuable applications. In this research, we report for the first time that a novel non-glucan EPS named EPS-605 can self-assemble to form spherical nanosize particles of ∼88 nm in diameter, expanding both the range of EPS type and structural type that EPSs self-assemble into. Characterization of EPS-605 shows that it is composed of mannose, glucose, and galactose with several modifications including acylation, phosphorylation, sulfation, and carboxylation, and a highly negative charge. EPS-605 showed a record biosorption capability for Pb2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, and methylene blue as compared to that of other reported EPSs, biosorbents, and nanosorbents. The adsorption ability of EPS-605 is affected by pH, temperature, the initial adsorbate concentration, the contact time, and the presence of background electrolytes. The mechanism of EPS-605 adsorbing heavy metals seems to be different to that for dyes. Moreover, EPS-605 can serve as the reductant in the synthesis of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) and AgNPs enabling good monodispersity within the shortest time (of 30 min) compared to that from other EPSs and without any extra pretreatment. Our research advances the development of novel EPSs and provides a new, eco-friendly, and renewable platform for both the bioremediation and green synthesis of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Due to unique inherent catalytic characteristics of different size, shape and surface functionalized gold nanoparticles, their potential applications, are being explored in various fields such as drug delivery, biosensor, diagnosis and theranostics. However conventional process for synthesis of these metallic nanoparticles utilizes toxic reagents as reducing agents, additional capping agent for stability as well as surface functionalization for drug delivery purposes. Hence, in this work suitability of gum Ghatti for reducing, capping and surface functionalization during the synthesis of stable Gold nanoparticles were duly explored. Role and impact of key process variables i.e. volume of chloroauric acid solution, gum solution and temperature at their respective three different levels, as well as mechanism of formation of optimized gold nanoparticles were also investigated using Box- Behnken design. These novel synthesized optimized Gold nanoparticles were further characterized by UV spectrophotometer for its surface plasmon resonance (SPR) at around ∼530nm, dynamic light scattering (DLS) for its hydrodynamic size (112.5nm), PDI (0.222) and zeta potential (-21.3mV) while, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) further revealed surface geometry of these nanoparticles being spherical in shape.
