Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of morbidity and death worldwide. As current cancer drugs are ineffective, new solutions are being sought in other fields, including nanoscience. Similarly, silver nanoparticles play an important role in the pharmaceutical industry as they act as anti-cancer agents with less harmful effects and are usually 1 to 100 nm in size. Selenic acid (SA) and pyruvic acid (PA) are involved in various metabolic pathways in cancer. For this reason, we decided to detect their influence on colorectal cancer using silver-based (Ag) nanocarriers. DLS, Zetasizer, SEM and UV-Vis analyses were used to characterize AgSA and AgPA. A UV spectrophotometer was used to analyze the release of the NPs. MTT analyses were used to measure the viability of HCT116 and HUVEC cells, and IC50 values were calculated using GraphPad Prism. The indicated dosage and particle size of AgSA NPs proved to be suitable for cytotoxicity. Moreover, injection of these nanoparticles into non-cancer cells proved safe due to their minimal toxicity. In contrast, the AgPA NPs have no cytotoxicity and induce proliferation of HCT116 cells. Finally, only the synthesised AgSA nanoparticles could be used for advanced cancer therapy, which is both inexpensive and has minimal side effects.

Green nanotechnology for controlling bacterial load and heavy metal accumulation in Nile tilapia fish using biological selenium nanoparticles biosynthesized by Bacillus subtilis AS12. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:1015613. [PMID: 36620021 PMCID: PMC9816870 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.1015613] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 10/31/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Heavy metal accumulation and pathogenic bacteria cause adverse effects on aquaculture. The active surface of selenium (Se) nanoparticles can mitigate these effects. The present study used Se-resistant Bacillus subtilis AS12 to fabricate biological Se nanoparticles (Bio-SeNPs). The double-edged Bio-SeNPs were tested for their ability to reduce the harmful effects of heavy metals and bacterial load in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and their respective influences on fish growth, behavior, and health. The Bio-SeNPs have a spherical shape with an average size of 77 nm and high flavonoids and phenolic content (0.7 and 1.9 g g-1 quercetin and gallic acid equivalents, respectively), resulting in considerable antioxidant and antibacterial activity. The Bio-SeNPs (3-5 μg ml-1) in the current study resolved two serious issues facing the aquaculture industry, firstly, the population of pathogenic bacteria, especially Aeromonas hydrophilia, which was reduced by 28-45% in fish organs. Secondly, heavy metals (Cd and Hg) at two levels (1 and 2 μg ml-1) were reduced by 50-87% and 57-73% in response to Bio-SeNPs (3-5 μg ml-1). Thus, liver function parameters were reduced, and inner immunity was enhanced. The application of Bio-SeNPs (3-5 μg ml-1) improved fish gut health, growth, and behavior, resulting in fish higher weight gain by 36-52% and a 40% specific growth rate, compared to controls. Furthermore, feeding and arousal times increased by 20-22% and 28-53%, respectively, while aggression time decreased by 78% compared to the control by the same treatment. In conclusion, Bio-SeNPs can mitigate the accumulation of heavy metals and reduce the bacterial load in a concentration-dependent manner, either in the fish media or fish organs.

Abstract
The last few decades have seen an overwhelming increase in the amount of research carried out on the use of inorganic nanoparticles. More fascinating is the tremendous progress made in the use of chalcogen and chalcogenide nanoparticles in cancer theranostics. These nanomaterials, which were initially synthesized through chemical methods, have now been efficiently produced using different plant materials. The paradigm shift towards the biogenic route of nanoparticle synthesis stems from its superior advantages of biosafety, eco-friendliness, and simplicity, among others. Despite a large number of reviews available on inorganic nanoparticle synthesis through green chemistry, there is currently a dearth of information on the green synthesis of chalcogens and chalcogenides for cancer research. Nanoformulations involving chalcogens such as sulfur, selenium, and tellurium and their respective chalcogenides have recently emerged as promising tools in cancer therapeutics and diagnosis. Similar to other inorganic nanoparticles, chalcogens and chalcogenides have been synthesized using plant extracts and their purified biomolecules. In this review, we provide an up-to-date discussion of the recent progress that has been made in the plant-mediated synthesis of chalcogens and chalcogenides with a special focus on their application in cancer theranostics.

Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14040875. [PMID: 35456709 PMCID: PMC9032182 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14040875] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2022] [Revised: 04/08/2022] [Accepted: 04/12/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Quercetin (QRC) is a bioflavonoid with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer activities, yet QRC poor bioavailability has hampered its clinical implementation. The aim of the current work was to harness novasomes (NOVs), free fatty acid enriched vesicles, as a novel nano-cargo for felicitous QRC delivery with subsequent functionalization with selenium (SeNOVs), to extend the systemic bio-fate of NOVs and potentiate QRC anticancer efficacy through the synergy with selenium. QRC-NOVs were primed embedding oleic acid, Brij 35, and cholesterol adopting thin-film hydration technique according to Box–Behnken design. Employing Design-Expert® software, the impact of formulation variables on NOVs physicochemical characteristics besides the optimum formulation election were explored. Based on the optimal NOVs formulation, QRC-SeNOVs were assembled via electrostatic complexation/in situ reduction method. The MTT cytotoxicity assay of the uncoated, and coated nanovectors versus crude QRC was investigated in human rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cells. The in vivo pharmacokinetic and biodistribution studies after intravenous administrations of technetium-99m (99mTc)-labeled QRC-NOVs, QRC-SeNOVs, and QRC-solution were scrutinized in Ehrlich tumor-bearing mice. QRC-NOVs and QRC-SeNOVs disclosed entrapment efficiency of 67.21 and 70.85%, vesicle size of 107.29 and 129.16 nm, ζ potential of −34.71 and −43.25 mV, and accumulatively released 43.26 and 31.30% QRC within 24 h, respectively. Additionally, QRC-SeNOVs manifested a far lower IC50 of 5.56 μg/mL on RD cells than that of QRC-NOVs (17.63 μg/mL) and crude QRC (38.71 μg/mL). Moreover, the biodistribution study elicited higher preferential uptake of 99mTc-QRC-SeNOVs within the tumorous tissues by 1.73- and 5.67-fold as compared to 99mTc-QRC-NOVs and 99mTc-QRC-solution, respectively. Furthermore, the relative uptake efficiency of 99mTc-QRC-SeNOVs was 5.78, the concentration efficiency was 4.74 and the drug-targeting efficiency was 3.21. Hence, the engineered QRC-SeNOVs could confer an auspicious hybrid nanoparadigm for QRC delivery with fine-tuned pharmacokinetics, and synergized antitumor traits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have gardened their place in the biomedical field and serve as a chemotherapeutic agent for targeted drug delivery due to their capacity to exert distinct mechanisms of action on cancer and normal cells. The principle behind these mechanisms is the generation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) eventually leads to apoptosis via the dysfunction of various pathways. SeNPs, when used in higher concentrations, lead to toxicity; therefore, conjugation and surface functionalization not only improve their toxic nature but also enhance their anticancer activity. OBJECTIVES The primary goal of this analysis is to provide a thorough and systematic investigation into the use of various SeNPs in localized drug targeting for cancer therapy. This has been achieved by citing examples of numerous SeNPs and their use as a drug targeting agent for cancer therapy. METHODS All relevant data and information about the various SeNPs for drug targeting in cancer therapy were gathered from various databases, including Science Direct, PubMed, Taylor and Francis imprints, American Chemical Society, Springer, Royal Society of Chemistry, and Google scholar. RESULTS SeNPs are explored due to their better biopharmaceutical properties and their cytostatic behavior. Se, as an essential component of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and other seleno-chemical substances, might boost chemotherapeutic efficacy, and protect tissues from cellular damage caused by ROS. SeNPs have the potential to set the stage for developing new strategies to treat malignancy. CONCLUSION This review extensively analyzed the anticancer efficacy and functionalization strategies of SeNPs in drug delivery to cancer cells. In addition, this review highlights the mechanism of action of drug-loaded SeNPs to suppress the proliferation of cancer cells in different cell lines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nano-selenium oxide (NSeO) particles are highly noticeable due to their tissue-protective and antioxidant properties. For this purpose, the effect of NSeO was evaluated on skin flap survival and flap oxidative stress markers in rats. Also, another effect of NSeO was investigated on the expression of mTOR and p-mTOR. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty rats were divided into five groups of ten. Skin flap size was 3×8 cm in all groups. Groups were: (1) Sham, (2) Flap Surgery group, (3) Flap Surgery + NSeO, (4) Flap Surgery + Rapamycin (mTOR inhibitor), (5) Flap Surgery + Rapamycin + NSeO. The flap necrosis rate was computed using the paper pattern method on day seven after surgery. After day seven, flap tissues were collected for histological evaluations. Then, malondialdehyde (MDA) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were measured. Furthermore, the expression levels of mTOR and p-mTOR were measured using the Western blot method. RESULTS Treatment with NSeO significantly reduced necrosis (P<0.05). It also resulted in a decrease in MDA level (P<0.05). Histologically, NSeO reduced inflammation and increased positive signs of tissue healing (epithelialization, neovascularization, fibroblast migration, and granulation tissue). NSeO increased SOD activity significantly (P<0.05), whereas, using rapamycin reversed these effects. Also, in all groups, mTOR changes were not significant. Additionally, p-mTOR expression was significantly reduced in groups that rapamycin was injected. CONCLUSION NSeO can reduce flap necrosis and enhance tissue healing in rats. So, it can potentially be used clinically to promote tissue repair significantly, and its effects are independent of the mTOR pathway.

Abstract
The anti-tumor effect of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) has received more and more attention. However, the clinical application of SeNPs is not optimistic due to the poor stability. To improve the stability of SeNPs, many polymers are used to modify the SeNPs. However, most of the polymers are not approved by FDA. It is significant to develop a SeNPs product with good stability for clinic application. Dextran 70,000 (T70) and poloxamer 188 (P188) are FDA-approved pharmaceutical injection excipients. In this study, we decorate SeNPs with T70 and P188 and assess the physicochemical characterization, storage stability, and anti-tumor activities of T70-SeNPs and P188-SeNPs. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shows that T70-SeNPs and P188-SeNPs are spherical particles with particle sizes of 110 nm and 60 nm respectively. Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectra (FT-IR) show that T70 or P188 can interact with SeNPs through hydrogen bonding. Stability study shows that P188-SeNPs freeze-dried powder and T70-SeNPs freeze-dried powder remain stable at 4℃ for 6 months. T70-SeNPs and P188-SeNPs can aggregate in cell matrix and play an anti-tumor role to HepG2 by promoting apoptosis, increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) content and reducing mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). This study can provide reference for industrial production of SeNPs products.

Abstract
Among the trace elements, selenium (Se) has great demand as a health supplement. Compared to its other forms, selenium nanoparticles have minor toxicity, superior reactivity, and excellent bioavailability. The present study was conducted to produce selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) via a biosynthetic approach using probiotic Bacillus subtilis BSN313 in an economical and easy manner. The BSN313 exhibited a gradual increase in Se reduction and production of SeNPs up to 5-200 µg/mL of its environmental Se. However, the capability was decreased beyond that concentration. The capacity for extracellular SeNP production was evidenced by the emergence of red color, then confirmed by a microscopic approach. Produced SeNPs were purified, freeze-dried, and subsequently characterized systematically using UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, Zetasizer, SEM-EDS, and TEM techniques. SEM-EDS analysis proved the presence of selenium as the foremost constituent of SeNPs. With an average particle size of 530 nm, SeNPs were shown to have a -26.9 (mV) zeta potential and -2.11 µm cm/Vs electrophoretic mobility in water. SeNPs produced during both the 24 and 48 h incubation periods showed good antioxidant activity in terms of DPPH and ABST scavenging action at a concentration of 150 µg/mL with no significant differences (p > 0.05). Moreover, 200 µg/mL of SeNPs showed antibacterial reactivity against Escherichia coli ATCC 8739, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 9027, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 25923. In the future, this work will be helpful to produce biogenic SeNPs using probiotic Bacillus subtilis BSN313 as biofactories, with the potential for safe use in biomedical and nutritional applications.

Abstract
Balanced aquafeed is the key factor for enhancing the productivity of aquatic animals. In this context, aquatic animals require optimal amounts of lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. The original plant and animals' ingredients in the basal diets are insufficient to provide aquafeed with suitable amounts of minerals. Concurrently, elements should be incorporated in aquafeed in optimal doses, which differ based on the basal diets' species, age, size, and composition. Selenium is one of the essential trace elements involved in various metabolic, biological, and physiological functions. Se acts as a precursor for antioxidative enzyme synthesis leading to high total antioxidative capacity. Further, Se can enhance the immune response and the tolerance of aquatic animals to infectious diseases. Several metabolic mechanisms, such as thyroid hormone production, cytokine formation, fecundity, and DNA synthesis, require sufficient Se addition. The recent progress in the nanotechnology industry is also applied in the production of Se nanoparticles. Indeed, Se nanoparticles are elaborated as more soluble and bioavailable than the organic and non-organic forms. In aquaculture, multiple investigations have elaborated the role of Se nanoparticles on the performances and wellbeing of aquatic animals. In this review, the outputs of recent studies associated with the role of Se nanoparticles on aquatic animals' performances were simplified and presented for more research and development.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is an essential element to human health that can be obtained in nature through several sources. In the human body, it is incorporated into selenocysteine, an amino acid used to synthesize several selenoproteins, which have an active center usually dependent on the presence of Se. Although Se shows several beneficial properties in human health, it has also a narrow therapeutic window, and therefore the excessive intake of inorganic and organic Se-based compounds often leads to toxicity. Nanoparticles based on Se (SeNPs) are less toxic than inorganic and organic Se. They are both biocompatible and capable of effectively delivering combinations of payloads to specific cells following their functionalization with active targeting ligands. Herein, the main origin of Se intake, its role on the human body, and its primary biomedical applications are revised. Particular focus will be given to the main therapeutic targets that are explored for SeNPs in cancer therapies, discussing the different functionalization methodologies used to improve SeNPs stability, while enabling the extensive delivery of drug-loaded SeNP to tumor sites, thus avoiding off-target effects.

Abstract
To date, various reports have shown that metallic gold bhasma at the nanoscale form was used as medicine as early as 2500 B.C. in India, China, and Egypt. Owing to their unique physicochemical, biological, and electronic properties, they have broad utilities in energy, environment, agriculture and more recently, the biomedical field. The biomedical domain has been used in drug delivery, imaging, diagnostics, therapeutics, and biosensing applications. In this review, we will discuss and highlight the increasing control over metal and metal oxide nanoparticle structures as smart nanomaterials utilized in the biomedical domain to advance the role of biosynthesized nanoparticles for improving human health through wide applications in the targeted drug delivery, controlled release drug delivery, wound dressing, tissue scaffolding, and medical implants. In addition, we have discussed concerns related to the role of these types of nanoparticles as an anti-viral agent by majorly highlighting the ways to combat the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, along with their prospects.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-reinforced polymer-based materials effectively combine the functional properties of polymers and unique characteristic features of NPs. Biopolymers have attained great attention, with perspective multifunctional and high-performance nanocomposites exhibiting a low environmental impact with unique properties, being abundantly available, renewable, and eco-friendly. Nanocomposites of biopolymers are termed green biocomposites. Different biocomposites are reported with numerous inorganic nanofillers, which include selenium. Selenium is a micronutrient that can potentially be used in the prevention and treatment of diseases and has been extensively studied for its biological activity. SeNPs have attracted increasing attention due to their high bioavailability, low toxicity, and novel therapeutic properties. One of the best routes to take advantage of SeNPs' properties is by mixing these NPs with polymers to obtain nanocomposites with functionalities associated with the NPs together with the main characteristics of the polymer matrix. These nanocomposite materials have markedly improved properties achieved at low SeNP concentrations. Composites based on polysaccharides, including fungal beta-glucans, are bioactive, biocompatible, biodegradable, and have exhibited an innovative potential. Mushrooms meet certain obvious requirements for the green entity applied to the SeNP manufacturing. Fungal-matrixed selenium nanoparticles are a new promising biocomposite material. This review aims to give a summary of what is known by now about the mycosynthesized selenium polymeric nanocomposites with the impact on fungal-assisted manufactured ones, the mechanisms of the involved processes at the chemical reaction level, and problems and challenges posed in this area.

Abstract
Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a common plasticizer which is mainly used as a kind of plastic additive to increase the flexibility of plastic products. Given the widespread use of plastic products, DEHP, as a ubiquitous artificial pollutant, are widely present in the environment. In addition, DEHP could cause biological damage in various organs through oxidative stress. Nano-Selenium, a novel form of selenium, has a wide variety of biomedical applications as an antioxidant, anticancer and anti-inflammatory agent. Nevertheless, researches on the toxicity of DEHP in chicken hepatocyte lines is insufficient. In particular, researches on the interaction between DEHP and nano-selenium is insufficient in chicken cell. Therefore, the innovation of this study is to explore the theoretical mechanism of DEHP toxicity in hepatocytes and the antagonistic effect of nano-selenium on a series of damage in chicken hepatocytes caused by DEHP. Our results showed that, after DEHP exposure, oxidative stress levels in hepatocytes increased, and the mRNA and protein levels of apoptosis-related genes p53, Capsase9, Caspase3 and Bax increased significantly except Bcl-2. The protein levels of apoptosis markers cleaved-Caspase9 and cleaved-Caspase3 also increased significantly. Moreover, the result of TUNEL assay also showed that the level of apoptotic cells increased after DEHP exposure. Meanwhile, the mRNA and protein levels of PI3K, AKT and p-AKT decreased. Therefore, DEHP is able to enhance the degree of oxidative damage and apoptosis of chicken liver cells. Nevertheless, the addition of nano-selenium can reverse the above changes. Experimental results revealed that nano-selenium antagonizes the toxic effects of DEHP via the PI3K/AKT pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Scientists are working on creating novel materials that can help in the treatment of diverse cancer-related diseases having trademark highlights like the target siting, specificity, improved therapeutic index of radiotherapy and chemotherapeutic treatments. The utilization of novel nanomaterials which are surface adorned with drugs or natural compounds can be used in diverse medical applications and helps in setting up a new platform for its improvement in the chemotherapeutic potentiality. One such nanomaterial is the trace element selenium in its nanoparticulate form that has been proved to be a potential chemotherapeutic agent recently. METHODS The English language papers were gathered from electronic databases like Sciencedirect, Pub Med, Google Scholar and Scopus, the papers are published from 2001 to 2019. RESULTS In the initial phase, approximately 200 papers were searched upon, out of which 118 articles were included after screening and critical reviewing. The information included was also tabulated for better knowledge and easy read. These articles contain information on the nanotechnology, inflammation, cancer and selenium as nanoparticles. CONCLUSION The overview of the paper explains the enhancement of potentiality of anticancer drugs or phytochemicals which restricts its utilization in chemotherapeutic applications by the encapsulation or adsorption of them on selenium nanoparticles proven to accelerate the anticancerous properties with better results when compared with individual components. SeNPs (selenium nanoparticles) have demonstrated chemotherapeutic activity due to pro-oxidant property, where the anti-oxidant enzymes are stimulated to produce reactive active species, which induces oxidative stress, followed by activation of the apoptotic signalling pathway, cell cycle arrest, mitochondrial dysfunction and other pathways that ultimately lead to cell death. Selenium in nanoparticulate form can be used as a micronutrient to human health, thereby having low toxicity, can easily be degraded and also has good biocompatibility.

Abstract
Microbial reduction of selenium oxyanions has attracted attention in recent years. In this study, an original and simple method for the synthesis of extracellular selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) of relatively uniform size has been developed using strains Sp7 and Sp245 of the ubiquitous plant-growth promoting rhizobacterium Azospirillum brasilense, both capable of selenite (SeO32-) reduction. In addition, a reliable purification protocol for the recovery of the Se NPs has been perfected, which could be applied with minor modifications to cultures of other microbial species. Importantly, it was found that, by changing the conditions of bacterial reduction of selenite, extracellularly localised Se NPs can be obtained using bacteria which would otherwise produce intracellular Se NPs. In particular, bacterial cultures grown up to the end of the logarithmic growth phase, washed free of culture medium and then incubated with selenite, were used to obtain extracellular Se NPs. Their sizes depended on the initial selenite concentration (∼25-80 nm in diameter at 50-10 mM selenite, respectively). The Se NPs obtained were characterised by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering, as well as Raman and UV-vis spectroscopies. Their zeta potential was found to be negative (ca. minus 21-24 mV). Bacterial selenite reduction was also studied in the presence of the efflux pump inhibitor carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP). In this case, TEM indicated the formation only of intracellular selenium crystallites. The data show that the formation of extracellular Se NPs requires normal bacterial metabolic activity, while CCCP evidently blocks the membrane export of Se0 nuclei.

Abstract
Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) can induce reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated cell death when accumulated in cancer cells, while rendering anti-oxidation and cancer prevention in healthy tissues at low doses. Although they are promising anticancer agents with fewer side effects, their application is limited by their relative low toxicity to cancer cells. Therefore, we propose a mitochondrion-targeting strategy to improve their cancer cell killing efficiency. Such mitochondrion-targeted SeNPs could efficiently increase ROS production and mitochondrion damage in cancer cells; however, only a slightly increased toxicity to normal cells was observed, indicating a potentially better therapeutic window for anticancer treatments.

Abstract
Nanotechnology, as an interdisciplinary science, combines engineering, physics, material sciences, and chemistry with the biomedicine knowhow, trying the management of a wide range of diseases. Nanoparticle-based devices holding tumor imaging, targeting and therapy capabilities are formerly under study. Since conventional hematological therapies are sometimes defined by reduced selectivity, low therapeutic efficacy and many side effects, in this review we discuss the potential advantages of the NPs' use in alternative/combined strategies. In the introduction the basic notion of nanomedicine and nanoparticles' classification are described, while in the main text nanodiagnostics, nanotherapeutics and theranostics solutions coming out from the use of a wide-ranging NPs availability are listed and discussed.

Abstract
A facile one-pot and effective green process for biogenic selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) was obtained using the cell-free extracts of a novel yeast Magnusiomyces ingens LH-F1. The corresponding absorption peak of SeNPs was observed at ~ 560 nm by UV-vis spectrophotometer. In the present study, SeO2 2 mM, protein 500 mg L-1 and pH 7 were preferable to the biosynthesis of SeNPs. The effects of pH, SeO2 concentration and protein concentration on the synthesis process were different. Transmission electron microscopy image exhibited that all the SeNPs were spherical and quasi-spherical with the diameters mainly distributed in 70-90 nm (average particles size was 87.82 ± 2.71 nm). X-ray diffraction suggested that the nanoparticles were composed of standard hexagonal crystalline Se with high purity. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicated that some biomolecules such as hydroxyl, carboxyl and amino groups in the yeast cell-free extracts might be involved in the formation of SeNPs. Analyses of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that two proteins with low molecular weight approximately ~ 16 and ~ 21 kDa were detected on the surface of SeNPs and in the extracts, which could play the role of natural stabilizers and confer stability to synthesized SeNPs; whereas, unbound proteins on the SeNPs surface could act as reducing agents. Antibacterial analysis showed that the SeNPs could inhibit Arthrobacter sp. W1 (Gram positive) but not E. coli BL21 (Gram negative), which could provide reference for antimicrobial application of biogenic SeNPs.

Abstract
Selenium Nanoparticle (SeNPs) is reported that it enhances and maintains optimal immune during infection and malignancies. To this end, we examined the role of selenium on TAMS whose anti-tumor function suppressed which favor tumor progression. BALB/c (H2d) strain of mice non-Hodgkin type of Dalton's cell line was used to check the role of carboxlic group induced, synthesized SeNPs on TAMs. Screening of IC50 value was done primarily trypen blue exclusion assay and 50% proliferation of DL cells inhibited 40 ng/ml to 50 ng/. Treatment also decreases ΔΨm, fragmentation of DNA of DL cells and arrest cells cycle in G1/G0 phage. Untreated TAMs cells showing suppressed expression of ROS, adhesion, phagocytosis, fusion and receptor profiling such as ICAM-1, CD47, CD172α. Which was induced more as compare to untreated group. SeNPs have potential to induce the anti-tumor function of TAMs whose anti-tumor function down-regulated pliable shifted towards tumor progression. It decreased the proliferation of DL cell by inducing apoptosis. Therefore, the synthesized SeNPs could be used for imaging diagnosis and cancer therapy which must be cost effective with negligible side effects shifted towards tumor progression. It decreased the proliferation of DL cell by inducing apoptosis.

Abstract
Cancer radiotherapy with 125 I seeds demonstrates higher long-term efficacy and fewer side effects than traditional X-ray radiotherapy owing to its low-dose and continuous radiation but is still limited by radioresistance in clinical applications. Therefore, the design and synthesis of sensitizers that could enhance the sensitivity of cancer cells to 125 I seeds is of great importance for future radiotherapy. Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have been found to exhibit high potential in cancer chemotherapy and as drug carriers. In this study, we found that, based on the Auger-electron effect and Compton effect of Se atoms, cancer-targeted SeNPs in combination with 125 I seeds achieve synergetic effects to inhibit cancer-cell growth and colony formation through the induction of cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Detailed studies on the action mechanisms reveal that the combined treatments effectively activate intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction to regulate p53-mediated DNA damage apoptotic signaling pathways and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation and to prevent the self-repair of cancer cells simultaneously. Taken together, the combination of SeNPs with 125 I seeds could be further exploited as a safe and effective strategy for next-generation cancer chemo-radiotherapy in clinical applications.

Abstract
Biogenic formation of nano-sized particles composed of various materials (in particular, selenium) by live microorganisms is widespread in nature. This phenomenon has been increasingly attracting the attention of researchers over the last decade not only owing to a range of diverse applications of such nanoparticles (NPs) in nanobiotechnology, but also because of the specificity of methodologies and mechanisms of NPs formation related to "green synthesis". In this mini-review, recent data are discussed on the multifaceted role of proteins in the processes of microbial reduction of selenium oxyanions and the formation of Se NPs. Besides the involvement of proteins in reducing selenites and selenates, their participation in the microbially driven growth and stabilisation of Se NPs is analysed, which results in the formation of unique nanostructured materials differing from those obtained chemically. This mini-review is thus focussed on proteins involved in microbial synthesis of Se NPs and on instrumental analysis of these processes and their products (biogenic nanostructured selenium particles functionalised by a surface-capping layer of various biomacromolecules).

Abstract
In bone tissue engineering, the organo-ceramic composite, electrospun polycaprolactone/hydroxyapatite (PCL/HA) scaffold has the potential to support cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, and homeostasis. Here, we report the effect of PCL/HA scaffold in tissue regeneration using human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). We characterized the scaffold by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and assessed its biocompatibility. PCL/HA composite is superior as a scaffold compared to PCL alone. Furthermore, increasing HA content (5-10%) was more efficacious in supporting cell-scaffold attachment, expression of ECM molecules and proliferation. These results suggest that PCL/HA is useful as a scaffold for tissue regeneration.

Abstract
A biosynthetic method for the production of selenium nanoparticles under ambient temperature and pressure from sodium selenite was developed using Gram-negative bacterial strain Escherichia coli ATCC 35218. Bacteriogenic nanoparticles were methodologically characterized employing UV-vis, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, TEM, DLS and FTIR techniques. Generation of nanoparticles was visualized from the appearance of red colour in the selenite supplemented culture medium and broad absorption bands in the UV-vis. Biofabricated nanoparticles were spherical, polydisperse, ranged from 100-183 nm and the average particle size was about 155 nm. Based on selected-area electron diffraction, XRD patterns; and Raman spectroscopy the nanospheres were found to be amorphous. IR spectrum revealed the involvement of bacterial proteins in the reduction of selenite and stabilization of nanoparticles. Used bacterial strain demonstrated efficient selenite reduction capability which was evident from 89.2% of selenium removal within 72 h at a concentration of 1 mM. Observation noted in the current study highlight the importance of bacterial reduction in selenium nanoparticle generation which can be scaled up for commercial production. Also, the bacteriogenic, amorphous nanoparticles can also be used as nutritional supplements for humans since selenium nanoparticles of 5-200 nm are bioavailable and known to induce seleno enzymes involved in antioxidant defence.

Abstract
The fisheries and livestock sectors capture the highest share of protein-rich animal food and demonstrate accelerated growth as an agriculture subsidiary. Environmental pollution, climate change, as well as pathogenic invasions exert increasing stress impacts that lead the productivity momentum at a crossroads. Oxidative stress is the most common form of stress phenomenon responsible for the retardation of productivity in fisheries and livestock. Essential micronutrients play a determinant role in combating oxidative stress. Selenium, one of the essential micronutrients, appears as a potent antioxidant with reduced toxicity in its nanoscale form. In the present review, different methods of synthesis and characterization of nanoscale selenium have been discussed. The functional characterization of nano-selenium in terms of its effect on growth patterns, feed digestibility, and reproductive system has been discussed to elucidate the mechanism of action. Moreover, its anti-carcinogenic and antioxidant potentiality, antimicrobial and immunomodulatory efficacy, and fatty acid reduction in liver have been deciphered as the new phenomena of nano-selenium application. Biologically synthesized nano-selenium raises hope for pharmacologically enriched, naturally stable nanoscale selenium with high ecological viability. Hence, nano-selenium can be administered with commercial feeds for improvising stress resilience and productivity of fish and livestock.
