Abstract
Oral exposure to nanoparticles (NPs) may affect intestinal microbiota, and this effect may be further changed by co-contaminates. In the present study, we investigated the combined effects of TiO2 NPs and fipronil (FPN) on microbiota in mouse intestines. Mice were intragastric exposed to 5.74 mg/kg TiO2 NPs, 2.5 mg/kg FPN, or both of them, once a day, for 30 days. The results showed that individual exposure to TiO2 NPs or FPN decreased body weight and induced pathological changes in intestines. The exposure was also associated with increased cleaved caspase-3 protein, oxidative stress and decreased tight junction protein expression. Furthermore, the levels of diamine oxidase (DAO), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and inflammatory cytokines in serum were also elevated, indicating increased intestinal barrier permeability. As expected, both TiO2 NPs and FPN decreased the diversity and altered the composition of microbiota. However, the observed effects were not further enhanced after the co-exposure to TiO2 NPs and FPN, except that Romboutsia was only significantly increased after the co-exposure to TiO2 NPs + FPN. We concluded that oral exposure to TiO2 NPs and FPN showed minimal synergistic effects on microbiota in mouse intestine.

Wang C, Huang C, Cao Y. Epigallocatechin gallate alleviated the in vivo toxicity of ZnO nanoparticles to mouse intestine. J Appl Toxicol 2024; 44:686-698. [PMID: 38095138 DOI: 10.1002/jat.4567] [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: 08/14/2023] [Revised: 10/28/2023] [Accepted: 11/12/2023] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
To evaluate the oral toxicity of nanoparticles (NPs), it is necessary to consider the interactions between NPs and nutrient molecules. Recently, we reported that epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a healthy component in green tea, alleviated the toxicity of ZnO NPs to 3D Caco-2 spheroids in vitro. The present study investigated the combined effects of EGCG and ZnO NPs to mice in vivo. Mice were administrated with 35 or 105 mg/kg bodyweight ZnO NPs with or without the presence of 80 mg/kg bodyweight EGCG via gastric route, once a day, for 21 days, and the influences of EGCG on the toxicity of ZnO NPs to intestine were investigated. We found that EGCG altered the colloidal properties of ZnO NPs both in water and artificial intestine juice. As expected, ZnO NPs induced toxicological effects, such as decreased bodyweight, higher Chiu's scores, and ultrastructural changes in intestine, whereas EGCG alleviated these effects. Combined exposure to EGCG and ZnO NPs also changed trace element levels in mouse intestine. For example, the levels of Ti, Co, and Ni were only significantly elevated after co-exposure to EGCG and ZnO NPs, and Fe levels were only significantly decreased by ZnO NPs. Western blot analysis suggested that tight junction (TJ) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins were elevated by ZnO NPs, but EGCG inhibited this trend. Combined, these data suggested that gastric exposure to ZnO NPs induced intestinal damage, trace element imbalance, and TJ/ER protein expression in mouse intestine, whereas EGCG alleviated these effects of ZnO NPs.

ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2023. [PMID: 37186336 DOI: 10.1002/tox.23819] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2022] [Revised: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
MoS2 nanosheets (NSs) are novel 2D nanomaterials (NMs) being used in many important fields. Recently, we proposed the need to evaluate the influences of NMs on Kruppel-like factors (KLFs) even if these materials are relatively biocompatible. In this study, we investigated the influences of MoS2 NSs or bulk on KLF4 signaling pathway in 3D Caco-2 spheroids in vitro and mouse intestines in vivo. Through the analysis of our previous RNA-sequencing data, we found that exposure to MoS2 NSs or bulk activated KLF4 expression in 3D Caco-2 spheroids. Consistently, these materials also activated KLF4-related gene ontology (GO) terms and down-regulated a panel of KLF4-downstream genes. To verify these findings, we repeatedly exposed mice to MoS2 NSs or bulk materials via intragastrical administration (1 mg/kg bodyweight, once a day, for 4 days). It was shown that oral exposure to these materials decreased bodyweight, leading to relatively higher organ coefficients. As expected, exposure to both types of materials increased Mo elements as well as other trace elements, such as Zn, Fe, and Mn in mouse intestines. The exposure also induced morphological changes of intestines, such as shortening of intestinal villi and decreased crypt depth, which may result in decreased intestinal lipid staining. Consistent with RNA-sequencing data, we found that material exposure increased KLF4 protein staining in mouse intestines and decreased two KLF4 downstream proteins, namely extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and serine/threonine kinase (AKT). We concluded that MoS2 materials were capable to activate KLF4-signaling pathway in intestines both in vivo and in vitro.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 442:130039.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have been widely used in the fields of daily necessities, clinical diagnosis, drug delivery and agricultural production. The improper use of ZnO NPs could pose a risk to ecological environment and public health. Liver has been known as a critical toxic target of ZnO NPs. However, the question whether ZnO NPs lead to hepatocyte death through pyroptosis has not been answered yet, and the effect of oxidative stress on ZnO NPs-induced pyroptosis remains a mystery. We revealed that ZnO NPs disrupted zinc homeostasis and induced oxidative stress impairment in rat liver. Meanwhile, ZnO NPs triggered the assembly of NLRP3-ASC-Caspase-1 inflammatory complex and pyroptosis in both rat liver and HepG2 cells, further causing the activation of GSDMD, promoting the leakage of inflammatory cytokines including IL-1β and IL-18. Importantly, the inhibition of oxidative stress was found to provide protection against pyroptosis in hepatocyte exposed to ZnO NPs. We identified a novel mechanism of liver damage induced by ZnO NPs, demonstrating the activation of canonical Caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis pathway and clarifying the protection of antioxidation against pyroptosis damage. Our discovery provided a support for risk assessment of ZnO NPs and target exploration for clinical treatment related to pyroptosis.

Abstract
Even though nanotechnology is extensively applied in agriculture, biochemistry, medicine and many other sectors, it is a developing field that conforms to new and more complex applications in food systems as compared to other technologies. It offers a viable strategy for integrating cutting-edge technology into a wide range of operations related to the production, development, fabrication, packaging, storage and distribution of food. The most fundamentally sophisticated technology in nano-based food science, nanoparticles deal with a wide range of nanostructured materials and nano methods, including nanofood, nanotubes, nanocomposites, nano packaging, nanocapsules, nanosensors, liposomes, nanoemulsions, polymeric nanoparticles and nanoencapsulation. This method is developed to increase food solubility and shelf life, availability of bioactive chemical, the protection of food constituents, nutritional supplementation, fortification and food or constituent delivery. Additionally, it serves as an antibacterial agent by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) which cause bacterial DNA damage, protein denaturation and cell damage. Although the use of nanotechnology in food applications is advancing, there are certain negative or dangerous effects on health related to the toxicity and dangers of ingesting nanoparticles in food. The use of nanotechnology in the food industry, notably in processing, preservation and packaging, with its promising future, was addressed in this study. The toxicity of nanoparticles in food as well as its development in food safety assessments with certain areas of concern were also reviewed.

Abstract
The adsorption of biological molecules to nanomaterials (NMs) will significantly impact NMs' behavior in complex microenvironments. Previously we proposed the need to consider the interactions between food components and NMs for the evaluation of oral toxicity of NMs. This review updated this concept as nutrient molecule corona, that the adsorption of nutrient molecules alters the uptake of nutrient molecules and/or NMs, as well as the signaling pathways to induce a combined toxicity due to the biologically active nature of nutrient molecules. Even with the presence of protein corona, nutrient molecules may still bind to NMs to change the identities of NMs in vivo. Furthermore, this review proposed the binding of excessive nutrient molecules to NMs to induce a combined toxicity under pathological conditions such as metabolic diseases. The structures of nutrient molecules and physicochemical properties of NMs determine nutrient molecule corona formation, and these aspects should be considered to limit the unwanted effects brought by nutrient molecule corona. In conclusion, similar to other biological molecule corona, the formation of nutrient molecule corona due to the presence of food components or excessive nutrient molecules in pathophysiological microenvironments will alter the behaviors of NMs.

Abstract
Respiratory viruses represent a severe public health risk worldwide, and the research contribution to tackle the current pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 is one of the main targets among the scientific community. In this regard, experts from different fields have gathered to confront this catastrophic pandemic. This review illustrates how nanotechnology intervention could be valuable in solving this difficult situation, and the state of the art of Zn-based nanostructures are discussed in detail. For virus detection, learning from the experience of other respiratory viruses such as influenza, the potential use of Zn nanomaterials as suitable sensing platforms to recognize the S1 spike protein in SARS-CoV-2 are shown. Furthermore, a discussion about the antiviral mechanisms reported for ZnO nanostructures is included, which can help develop surface disinfectants and protective coatings. At the same time, the properties of Zn-based materials as supplements for reducing viral activity and the recovery of infected patients are illustrated. Within the scope of noble adjuvants to improve the immune response, the ZnO NPs properties as immunomodulators are explained, and potential prototypes of nanoengineered particles with metallic cations (like Zn2+) are suggested. Therefore, using Zn-associated nanomaterials from detection to disinfection, supplementation, and immunomodulation opens a wide area of opportunities to combat these emerging respiratory viruses. Finally, the attractive properties of these nanomaterials can be extrapolated to new clinical challenges.

Abstract
Inorganic or organic nanoparticles are often incorporated into foods to enhance their quality, stability, nutrition, or safety. When they pass through the gastrointestinal environment, the properties of these nanoparticles are altered, which impacts their biological effects and potential toxicity. Consequently, there is a need to understand how different kinds of nanoparticles behave within the gastrointestinal tract. In this article, the current understanding of the gastrointestinal fate of nanoparticles in foods is reviewed. Initially, the fundamental physicochemical and structural properties of nanoparticles are discussed, including their compositions, sizes, shapes, and surface chemistries. Then, the impact of food matrix effects and gastrointestinal environments on the fate of ingested nanoparticles is discussed. In particular, the influence of nanoparticle properties on food digestion and nutraceutical bioavailability is highlighted. Finally, future research directions are highlighted that will enable the successful utilization of nanotechnology in foods while also ensuring they are safe.

Abstract
Previously we reported the cytoprotective effects of polyphenols rich in hydroxyl groups against ZnO nanoparticles (NPs). This study used RNA-sequencing to evaluate the toxicity of ZnO NPs and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) to 3D Caco-2 spheroids. EGCG altered the colloidal stability of ZnO NPs, shown as the changes of atomic force microscopic height, solubility in cell culture medium, and hydrodynamic sizes. EGCG almost completely reversed ZnO NP-induced cytotoxicity, and consistently, alleviated ZnO NP-induced gene ontology (GO) terms and genes related with apoptosis. EGCG also modestly decreased intracellular Zn ions and changed GO terms and genes related with endocytosis/exocytosis in ZnO NP-exposed spheroids. Meanwhile, EGCG changed ZnO NP-induced alteration of GO terms and genes related with the functions of mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes. We concluded that EGCG alleviated the cytotoxicity of ZnO NPs to 3D Caco-2 spheroids by altering NPs' colloidal properties and the pathways related with internalization and organelle dysfunction.

Abstract
Food media can affect the solubility of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs). Moreover, when a single digestive fluid and a three-step digestion system were applied to investigate the fate of ZnO NPs, several contradictory results were obtained. Here, we manipulated a novel semiclosed in vitro dynamic digestion system to investigate the difference in the released ionic zinc (Zn2+) content in three types of artificial fluids in the presence of different food media. The results show that there was a significant difference in the released Zn2+ content between the three different types of digestion systems in the presence of the same food media. In addition, the released Zn2+ content was significantly different when different types of food media were applied to the same digestion system. These results demonstrate that the different levels of released Zn2+ content can be ascribed to the difference in digestion systems and food media.

Cellular Uptake and Toxicological Effects of Differently Sized Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles in Intestinal Cells. TOXICS 2021; 9:toxics9050096.

Abstract
Due to their beneficial properties, the use of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NP) is constantly increasing, especially in consumer-related areas, such as food packaging and food additives, which is leading to an increased oral uptake of ZnO NP. Consequently, the aim of our study was to investigate the cellular uptake of two differently sized ZnO NP (<50 nm and <100 nm; 12–1229 µmol/L) using two human intestinal cell lines (Caco-2 and LT97) and to examine the possible resulting toxic effects. ZnO NP (<50 nm and <100 nm) were internalized by both cell lines and led to intracellular changes. Both ZnO NP caused time- and dose-dependent cytotoxic effects, especially at concentrations of 614 µmol/L and 1229 µmol/L, which was associated with an increased rate of apoptotic and dead cells. ZnO NP < 100 nm altered the cell cycle of LT97 cells but not that of Caco-2 cells. ZnO NP < 50 nm led to the formation of micronuclei in LT97 cells. The Ames test revealed no mutagenicity for both ZnO NP. Our results indicate the potential toxicity of ZnO NP after oral exposure, which should be considered before application.

Abstract
Food matrices could affect the physicochemical properties of nanoparticles (NPs) and define the biological effects of NPs via oral exposure compared with the pristine NPs. We established a standardized dietary model based on Chinese dietary reference intakes and Chinese dietary guidelines to mimic the exposure of NPs in real life and to evaluate further the biological effect and toxicity of NPs via oral exposure compared with current models. The standardized dietary model prepared from the primary emulsion was dried into powder using spray drying compared with commercial food powder and then was reconstituted compared with the fresh sample. The average particle size (295.59 nm), potential (-23.78 mV), viscosity (0.04 pa s), and colors (L*, a*, b* = 84.13, -0.116, 8.908) were measured and characterized of the fresh sample. The flowability (repose angle = 37.28° and slide angle = 36.75°), moisture (2.68%), colors (L*, a*, b* = 94.16, -0.27, 3.01), and bulk density (0.45 g/ml) were compared with commercial food powder. The size (310.75 nm), potential (-23.98 mV), and viscosity (0.04 pa s) of reconstituted model were similar to the fresh sample. Results demonstrated that the model was satisfy the characterizations of easy to fabrication, good stability, small particle size, narrow particle size distribution, strong practicability, and good reproducibility similar to most physiological food state and will be used to evaluate NPs' safety.

Abstract
The interaction of nanoparticles (NPs) with proteins and the formation of protein corona in the biological fluids are of great interest and significance for drug delivery. In the past decade, the corona formation in the blood and its impacts on the in vitro and in vivo fate of NPs has been well investigated and reviewed. Recently, more and more attention is paid to the nano-protein interactions taking place in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) between the orally administered NPs and the digestive enzymes. The enzyme corona formed in the GIT can significantly affect the properties, gastrointestinal transit, and oral absorption of NPs. Since oral delivery is the most preferred delivery route, comprehensively understanding the corona formation in the GIT and its impacts on oral delivery NPs are of great importance. Herein, we aim to summarize the recent updates on the nano-protein interactions between NPs and digestive enzymes, and launch an interesting discussion on the potentials of using the digestive enzyme corona for the colon targeted delivery.

Abstract
Food grade titanium dioxide (TiO2) containing nanofractions, is commonly applied to whiten and brighten food products, which put consumers under health risks of ingesting TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs). Although the oral toxicity of TiO2-NPs has been evaluated in several studies, gaps in knowledge exist regarding interactions between NPs and food components. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the influence of TiO2-NPs on nutrient absorption and metabolism through an in situ intestinal loop experiment which conducted on adult Sprague Dawley (SD) rats after 30-d gastrointestinal exposure to TiO2-NPs of two different sizes (N-TiO2 and M-TiO2). Results showed that exposure to TiO2-NPs caused flat apical membranes with sparse and short microvilli and inflammatory infiltration in small intestine. Both particles were absorbed into small intestinal cells, but N-TiO2 with smaller size could more easily be transported through gut and raise the blood titanium (Ti) levels. Changes in serum levels of amino acid were also different after exposure to these two particles. After injecting mixed solution of nutrients into in situ intestinal loop, the N-TiO2 exposure groups displayed significant absorption inhibition of the added histidine (His) and metabolism disorder of some non-added amino acid. However, no influence was observed on metal elements or glucose levels. This study identified TiO2-NPs with small sizes could affect nutrient absorption and metabolism by inducing intestinal epithelium injury, and amino acids were more susceptible than metal elements and glucose. These findings suggested that foods supplemented with TiO2-NPs should be carefully consumed by people with high protein requirements, such as children, the elderly, and patients with high metabolic disease or intestinal inflammation.

Abstract
As ZnO nanoparticles have been applied in many fields, their biological risks on human health, of course, are worthy of our attention. Whether ZnO NPs have the risk and how colonic cells respond to the invaded ZnO NPs are still unknown. Herein, we evaluated the biological effects of ZnO NPs on colonic mucosal cells by in vitro and in vivo methods. IMCE cells, with APC mutation but phenotypically normal, demonstrated hyperproliferation through activating the CXCR2/NF-κB/STAT3/ERK and AKT pathways when exposed to ZnO NPs for 24 h. Long-term exposure of ZnO NPs resulted in the malignant transformation of IMCE cells, showing the morphological changes, anchorage-independent cell growth ability. Importantly, IMCE cells exposed to ZnO NPs subcutaneously grew and induced tumorigenesis in nude mice. In conclusion, exposure of ZnO NPs could induce malignant transformation of colonic mucosal cells through the CXCR2/NF-κB/STAT3/ERK and AKT pathways. We suggest that it was necessary to consider using the precautionary principle for gastrointestinal contact nanomaterials.

Abstract
The purposes of this research were to form chitosan oligosaccharide (CSO)/A2
β-casein nano-delivery systems (NDSs) and to investigate the effects of
production variables, such as CSO concentration levels (0.1%,
0.2%, and 0.3%, w/v) and manufacturing temperature (5°C,
20°C, and 35°C), on the production and physicochemical
characteristics of CSO/A2 β-casein NDSs to carry resveratrol. The
morphological characteristics of CSO/A2 β-casein NDSs were assessed by
the use of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and particle size analyzer.
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was applied to determine the
entrapment efficiency (EE) of resveratrol. In the TEM images, globular-shaped
particles with a diameter from 126 to 266 nm were examined implying that NDSs
was successfully formed. As CSO concentration level was increased, the size and
zeta-potential values of NDSs were significantly (p<0.05) increased. An
increase in manufacturing temperature from 5°C to 35°C resulted in
a significant (p<0.05) increase in the size and polydispersity index of
NDSs. Over 85% of resveratrol was favorably entrapped in CSO/A2
β-casein NDSs. The entrapment efficiency (EE) of resveratrol was
significantly (p<0.05) enhanced with an increase in manufacturing
temperature while CSO concentration level did not significantly affect EE of
resveratrol. There were no significant (p<0.05) changes observed in the
size and polydispersity index of NDSs during heat treatments and storage in
model milk and yogurt indicating that CSO/A2 β-casein NDSs exhibited
excellent physical stability. In conclusion, the CSO concentration level and
manufacturing temperature were the crucial determinants affecting the
physicochemical characteristics of CSO/A2 β-casein NDSs containing
resveratrol.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) have been widely used in food storage containers and food additives in daily life. However, the impact of oral intake of ZnONPs on nervous system is extremely limited, especially on children and adolescents. In this study, four weeks old mice were treated with either vehicle or ZnONPs suspension solution at 26 mg/kg by intragastric administration for 30 days. Our results demonstrated that oral ZnONPs exposure could induce pathological changes in gut and abnormal excitement of enteric neurons. Interestingly, we found that ZnONPs caused enhancement of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in gut by activation of its biosynthesis, transport and receptors, and subsequently resulting in increased level of 5-HT in brain via gut-brain communication by blood. Our data also showed that there were no apparent changes on the expressions of interleukin (Il)-6, Il-1β, C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (Ccl2), tumor necrosis factor (Tnf) in gut and zinc chelator Mt2 in gut and cortex. Meanwhile, no significant changes were observed on the expressions of tryptophan hydroxylase type 1, 5-HT receptor 3A (Htr3a) and Htr4 in hippocampus and cortex. Our study indicate that oral ZnONPs exposure causes hyperfunction of 5-HT in gut in young mice which may further spread to brain via gut-brain communication.

Abstract
Phytochemicals as typical food components may significantly influence the toxicity of nanoparticles (NPs) in intestinal cells, indicating a need to evaluate the toxicological effects of NPs in a complex situation. Previous studies suggested that the anti-oxidative properties of phytochemicals were important to elicit cytoprotective effects against NP exposure. However, we recently found that the changes of signaling pathways may be more important for cytoprotective effects of phytochemicals. In this study, we investigated the influence of myricetin (MY) on the cytotoxicity of ZnO NPs in Caco-2 cells and the possible mechanism. MY at 50 μM showed minimal impact on the solubility and colloidal aspects of ZnO NPs, but protected Caco-2 cells from NP exposure as it increased the EC50 value. For comparison, dihydromyricetin (DMY; chemical analog of MY) increased the EC50 value to a much lesser extent. Exposure to ZnO NPs significantly induced intracellular Zn ions, whereas MY or DMY did not significantly influence the internalization of NPs. However, ZnO NPs significantly promoted the ratio of caspase-3/pro-caspase-3, which was inhibited by the presence of MY. Exposure to ZnO NPs did not significantly promote the biomarkers of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, but co-exposure to ZnO NPs and MY significantly lowered the levels of a panel of ER stress biomarkers. In conclusion, these results suggested that MY could protect Caco-2 cells from ZnO NP exposure, which may not be related to the changes of colloidal stability or internalization of NPs but could be alternatively related to the reduction of ER stress leading to lower cleaved caspase-3.

Liang Y, Xie M, Li J, Liu L, Cao Y. Influence of 3-Hydroxyflavone on Colloidal Stability and Internationalization of Ag Nanomaterials Into THP-1 Macrophages. Dose Response 2019; 17:1559325819865713. [PMID: 31384242 PMCID: PMC6657132 DOI: 10.1177/1559325819865713] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2019] [Revised: 06/10/2019] [Accepted: 07/02/2019] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Polyphenols as typical food components can influence the colloidal properties and internalization of nanomaterials (NMs) into mammalian cells. Recently, we found that 3-hydroxyflavone (H3) promoted intracellular Zn ions in ZnO nanoparticle (NP) exposed Caco-2 and HepG2 cells. However, it is unclear if H3 could affect the internalization of metal-based NMs with different morphologies. This study investigated the influence of H3 on colloidal aspects of Ag NPs and Ag nanoflakes (NFs) as well as the internalization of Ag NMs into THP-1 macrophages. 3-Hydroxyflavone at 50 μM promoted the solubility and altered hydrodynamic size, polydispersity index, and ζ potential of Ag NPs and Ag NFs, which indicated that H3 could affect the colloidal stability of Ag NMs. Only H3 but not Ag NMs significantly decreased mitochondrial activities of THP-1 macrophages. The internalization of Ag NMs was markedly increased due to the presence of H3. 3-Hydroxyflavone also exhibited antioxidative properties as it reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species and promoted the activities of ABC transporters as it reduced retention of Calcein in Ag NM-exposed THP-1 macrophages. We concluded that H3 promoted the internalization of Ag NMs into macrophages probably by altering the colloidal stability of Ag NMs and consequently NM-macrophage interactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Particles and fibres affect human health as a function of their properties such as chemical composition, size and shape but also depending on complex interactions in an organism that occur at various levels between particle uptake and target organ responses. While particulate pollution is one of the leading contributors to the global burden of disease, particles are also increasingly used for medical purposes. Over the past decades we have gained considerable experience in how particle properties and particle-bio interactions are linked to human health. This insight is useful for improved risk management in the case of unwanted health effects but also for developing novel medical therapies. The concepts that help us better understand particles' and fibres' risks include the fate of particles in the body; exposure, dosimetry and dose-metrics and the 5 Bs: bioavailability, biopersistence, bioprocessing, biomodification and bioclearance of (nano)particles. This includes the role of the biomolecule corona, immunity and systemic responses, non-specific effects in the lungs and other body parts, particle effects and the developing body, and the link from the natural environment to human health. The importance of these different concepts for the human health risk depends not only on the properties of the particles and fibres, but is also strongly influenced by production, use and disposal scenarios. CONCLUSIONS Lessons learned from the past can prove helpful for the future of the field, notably for understanding novel particles and fibres and for defining appropriate risk management and governance approaches.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) are increasingly used in different consumer-related areas, for instance in food packaging or as additives, because of their enormous potential. Magnesium oxide (MgO) is an EU-approved food additive (E number 530). It is commonly used as a drying agent for powdered foods, for colour retention or as a food supplement. There are no consistent results regarding the effects of oral MgO NP uptake. Consequently, the aim of this study was to examine the effects of MgO NPs in the HT29 intestinal cell line. MgO NP concentrations ranged from 0.001 to 100 μg/ml and incubation times were up to 24 h. The cytotoxic and genotoxic potential were investigated. Apoptotic processes and cell cycle changes were analysed by flow cytometry. Finally, oxidative stress was examined. Transmission electron microscopy indicated that there was no cellular uptake. MgO NPs had no cytotoxic or genotoxic effects in HT29 cells and they did not induce apoptotic processes, cell cycle changes or oxidative stress.

Abstract
Food matrix effects impact the bioavailability and toxicity of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, pesticides, and engineered nanomaterials (ENMs). However, there are currently no standardized food models to test the impact of food matrix effects using in vitro gastrointestinal models. The purpose of this study was to establish a standardized food model (SFM) for evaluating the toxicity and fate of ingested ENMs and then to assess its efficacy by examining the impact of food matrix effects on the toxicity of TiO2 nanoparticles. The formulation of the SFM was based on the average composition of the US diet: 3.4% protein (sodium caseinate); 4.6% sugar (sucrose); 5.2% digestible carbohydrates (modified corn starch); 0.7% dietary fiber (pectin); 3.4% fat (corn oil); and, 0.5% minerals (sodium chloride). The SFM consisted of an oil-in-water emulsion suitable for use in both wet and dried forms. The dried form was produced by spray drying the emulsion to improve its handling and extend its shelf-life. The particle size (D32 = 135 nm), surface charge (-37.8 mV), viscosity, color (L*, a,* b* = 82.1, -2.5, 1.3), and microstructure of the wet SFM were characterized. The hydration properties, flowability (repose angle ≈ 27.9°; slide angle ≈ 28.2°), and moisture sorption isotherms of the dry SFM were comparable to commercial food powders. The potential gastrointestinal fate of the SFM was determined using a simulated gastrointestinal tract, including mouth, stomach, and small intestine steps. Conversion of the SFM into a powdered form did not impact its gastrointestinal fate. A nanotoxicology case study with TiO2 nanoparticles exposed to a tri-culture epithelial cell model showed that food matrix effects reduced ENM cytotoxicity more than 5-fold. The SFM developed in the current study could facilitate studies of the impact of food matrix effects on the gastrointestinal fate and toxicity of various types of food NPs.

Abstract
Graphene and its derivatives are heralded as "miracle" materials with manifold applications in different sectors of society from electronics to energy storage to medicine. The increasing exploitation of graphene-based materials (GBMs) necessitates a comprehensive evaluation of the potential impact of these materials on human health and the environment. Here, we discuss synthesis and characterization of GBMs as well as human and environmental hazard assessment of GBMs using in vitro and in vivo model systems with the aim to understand the properties that underlie the biological effects of these materials; not all GBMs are alike, and it is essential that we disentangle the structure-activity relationships for this class of materials.

Abstract
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) have already been used as food additive in various products and are usually consumed with a considerable amount of sugar. Oral consumption of TiO2 NPs poses concerning health risks; however, research on the combined effect of ingested TiO2 NPs and glucose is limited. We examined young Sprague-Dawley rats administrated TiO2 NPs orally at doses of 0, 2, 10 and 50 mg/kg body weight per day with and without 1.8 g/kg body weight glucose for 30 and 90 days. Heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, blood biochemical parameters and histopathology of cardiac tissues was assessed to quantify cardiovascular damage. The results showed that oral exposure to TiO2 NPs and high doses of glucose both could induce cardiovascular injuries. The toxic effects were dose-, time- and gender-dependent. The interaction effects between oral-exposed TiO2 NPs and glucose existed and revealed to be antagonism in most of the biological parameters. However, toxic effects of the high-dose glucose seemed to be more severe than TiO2 NPs and the interaction of TiO2 NPs with glucose. These results suggest that it may be more important to control the sugar intake than TiO2 NPs for protecting the health of TiO2 NP consumers.

Abstract
Aim: The present study was carried out to determine the effects of ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO–NPs) on intestinal function and pathophysiological alteration. Materials & methods: ZnO–NPs were synthesized and their characterizations were performed using various techniques. The Wistar male rats fed with normal diet and/or high fat diet (HFD) for 8 weeks and then orally received ZnO–NPs (5, 50 and 100 mg/kg bodyweight) for 28 days. The oxidative stress (SOD, CAT, GPx), inflammatory (TNF-α, iNOS) and apoptosis pathways (Bcl2, Bax and p53) genes expression and protein levels were measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction and available kit, respectively. The activity of Caspase-3, antioxidant capacity, as well as inflammatory markers were determined. The histological alterations of the large and small intestine were also evaluated with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) as well as TdT dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. The biochemical factors, viability and antioxidant activity were also determined in Caco-2 cells. Results: It was found that the antioxidant enzymes activity and genes expression markedly increased, while inflammatory and apoptosis pathways and TNF-α levels significantly decreased in the intestine of HFD-fed rats treated with 5 mg/kg ZnO–NPs. Intestinal morphological changes were also restored by 5 mg/kg ZnO–NPs in HFD group. Conclusion: Treatment of rats with 50 and 100 mg/kg ZnO–NPs significantly induced intestinal injury, while treatment with 5 mg/kg ZnO nanoparticle normalized intestinal functions and structure. This study showed the synergistic effects of ZnO–NPs and HFD administration on liver enzyme, oxidative stress, apoptosis, inflammation, morphological changes and cell toxicity.

NATURE NANOTECHNOLOGY 2018; 13:661-669.

Abstract
Natural nanoparticles (NNPs) in rivers, lakes, oceans and ground water predate humans, but engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) are emerging as potential pollutants due to increasing regulatory and public perception concerns. This Review contrasts the sources, composition and potential occurrence of NNPs (for example, two-dimensional clays, multifunctional viruses and metal oxides) and ENPs in surface water, after centralized drinking water treatment, and in tap water. While analytical detection challenges exist, ENPs are currently orders of magnitude less common than NNPs in waters that flow into drinking water treatment plants. Because such plants are designed to remove small-sized NNPs, they are also very good at removing ENPs. Consequently, ENP concentrations in tap water are extremely low and pose low risk during ingestion. However, after leaving drinking water treatment plants, corrosion by-products released from distribution pipes or in-home premise plumbing can release incidental nanoparticles into tap water. The occurrence and toxicity of incidental nanoparticles, rather than ENPs, should therefore be the focus of future research.

[PMID: 29970114 PMCID: PMC6029122 DOI: 10.1186/s12989-018-0265-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 103] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2018] [Accepted: 06/14/2018] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Engineered nanomaterials (ENM) are used extensively in food products to fulfill a number of roles, including enhancement of color and texture, for nutritional fortification, enhanced bioavailability, improved barrier properties of packaging, and enhanced food preservation. Safety assessment of ingested engineered nanomaterials (iENM) has gained interest in the nanotoxicology community in recent years. A variety of test systems and approaches have been used for such evaluations, with in vitro monoculture cell models being the most common test systems, owing to their low cost and ease-of-use. The goal of this review is to systematically assess the current state of science in toxicological testing of iENM, with particular emphasis on model test systems, their physiological relevance, methodological strengths and challenges, realistic doses (ranges and rates), and then to identify future research needs and priorities based on these assessments. METHODS Extensive searches were conducted in Google Scholar, PubMed and Web of Science to identify peer-reviewed literature on safety assessment of iENM over the last decade, using keywords such as "nanoparticle", "food", "toxicity", and combinations thereof. Relevant literature was assessed based on a set of criteria that included the relevance of nanomaterials tested; ENM physicochemical and morphological characterization; dispersion and dosimetry in an in vitro system; dose ranges employed, the rationale and dose realism; dissolution behavior of iENM; endpoints tested, and the main findings of each study. Observations were entered into an excel spreadsheet, transferred to Origin, from where summary statistics were calculated to assess patterns, trends, and research gaps. RESULTS A total of 650 peer-reviewed publications were identified from 2007 to 2017, of which 39 were deemed relevant. Only 21% of the studies used food grade nanomaterials for testing; adequate physicochemical and morphological characterization was performed in 53% of the studies. All in vitro studies lacked dosimetry and 60% of them did not provide a rationale for the doses tested and their relevance. Only 12% of the studies attempted to consider the dissolution kinetics of nanomaterials. Moreover, only 1 study attempted to prepare and characterize standardized nanoparticle dispersions. CONCLUSION We identified 5 clusters of factors deemed relevant to nanotoxicology of food-grade iENM: (i) using food-grade nanomaterials for toxicity testing; (ii) performing comprehensive physicochemical and morphological characterization of iENM in the dry state, (iii) establishing standard NP dispersions and their characterization in cell culture medium, (iv) employing realistic dose ranges and standardized in vitro dosimetry models, and (v) investigating dissolution kinetics and biotransformation behavior of iENM in synthetic media representative of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract fluids, including analyses in a fasted state and in the presence of a food matrix. We discussed how these factors, when not considered thoughtfully, could influence the results and generalizability of in vitro and in vivo testing. We conclude with a set of recommendations to guide future iENM toxicity studies and to develop/adopt more relevant in vitro model systems representative of in vivo animal and human iENM exposure scenarios.

Abstract
It is recently shown that biological macromolecules in food could interact with nanoparticles (NPs) and consequently change the biological effects of NPs. In this study, the interactions between ZnO NPs with or without hydrophobic surface coating and bovine serum albumin (BSA) or oleate (OA) complexed to BSA (OA-BSA) were assessed. Atomic force microscope (AFM) showed topographic changes of both types of NPs by BSA or OA-BSA, which could indicate the formation of protein corona. ZnO NPs showed negative Zeta potential, which was slightly decreased by BSA or OA-BSA, with OA-BSA being more effective. The UV-Vis was increased, whereas the fluorescence and synchronous fluorescence was decreased by the presence of ZnO NPs. Exposure to both types of ZnO NPs was associated with cytotoxicity to THP-1 macrophages, which was equally mitigated by BSA or OA-BSA associated with decreased cellular Zn elements. Exposure to ZnO NPs was associated with decreased release of cytokines, which was not affected by BSA or OA-BSA. In combination, the results from this study suggested that both BSA and OA-BSA could be adsorbed to ZnO NPs regardless of hydrophobic surface coating, which reduced the cytotoxicity of NPs to macrophages probably due to reduced association between NPs and cells. BSA and OA-BSA equally protected THP-1 macrophages from ZnO NP exposure, which might indicate that complexation to OA did not compromise the cytoprotective effects of BSA. These data might also indicate the complex interaction between NPs and biological macromolecules as food components, which should be considered for future nanotoxicological studies.

Abstract
In a biological microenvironment, biological macromolecules could interact with nanoparticles (NPs) and consequently influence the toxicity of NPs. This study investigated the effects of BSA or palmitic acids complexed to BSA (PA-BSA) on the toxicity of ZnO NPs to THP-1 macrophages. Atomic force microscopy showed the increase of NP heights after pre-incubation with BSA or PA-BSA, but PA-BSA more effectively altered the hydrodynamic size and zeta potential of NPs. Pre-incubation with BSA but not PA-BSA alleviated ZnO NP induced cytotoxicity, and transmission electron microscopy confirmed fewer intrastructural changes after exposure to ZnO NPs pre-incubated with BSA. ZnO NP exposure increased intracellular Zn ions but decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and release of soluble monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (sMCP-1), whereas pre-incubation with BSA and PA-BSA induced a different pattern of intracellular Zn ions and modestly increased intracellular ROS. The expression of ER stress marker DDIT3 was only significantly induced after exposure to NPs pre-incubated with PA-BSA, and CASP12 expression was significantly lower after exposure to NPs pre-incubated with BSA compared to NPs with or without pre-incubation of PA-BSA. In summary, these results showed that pre-incubation with BSA was more effective compared with PA-BSA to alleviate the toxicity of ZnO NPs to THP-1 macrophages, which should be considered for the evaluation of NP toxicity in a biological microenvironment.

Abstract
Nano-scale formulations are being developed to improve the delivery of orally administered medicines, and the interactions between nanoformulations and the gastrointestinal luminal, mucosal and epithelial environment is currently being investigated. The mucosal surface of the gastrointestinal tract is capable of trapping and eliminating large particles and pathogens as part of the natural defences of the body, it is becoming clearer that nanoformulation properties such as particle size, charge, and shape, as well as mucous properties such as viscoelasticity, thickness, density, and turn-over time are all relevant to these interactions. However, progress has been slow to utilise this information to produce effective mucous-penetrating particles. Areas covered: This review focuses on delivery method of nanomedicines both into and across the gastrointestinal mucosal surface, and aims to summarise the biological barriers that exist to successful oral nanomedicine delivery and how these barriers may be investigated and overcome. Expert commentary: Despite successes in the laboratory, no nanotechnology-enabled products are currently in clinical use which either specifically target the intestinal mucous surface or cross the epithelial barrier intact. New nanomedicine-based treatments of local diseases (intestinal cancer, inflammation, infection) and systemic diseases are advancing towards clinical use, and offer genuine opportunities to improve therapy.

Abstract
Recent studies suggested that phytochemicals as natural antioxidants in food could alleviate nanoparticle (NP) toxicity. This study investigated the combined toxicity of ZnO NPs and a panel of polyphenols. Surprisingly, polyphenols with both high and almost no radical scavenging activities could elicit cytoprotective effects against NP exposure in Caco-2 cells, which were primarily influenced by the positions of the hydroxyl group. Polyphenols with different chemical structures variously influenced the hydrodynamic size, zeta potential, and solubility of ZnO NPs as well as NP-induced intracellular superoxide and Zn ions, which could all contribute to the combined effects. Responses of human endothelial cells appeared to be different from the responses of Caco-2 cells, which may indicate cell-type dependent responses to combined exposure of NPs and phytochemicals. In conclusion, the data from this study suggested a pivotal role of chemical structures of phytochemicals in determining their capacity to affect ZnO NP toxicity.
