Abstract
By virtue of their advanced physicochemical properties, nanoparticles have attracted significant attention from researchers for application in diverse fields of medical science. Breast cancer, presenting a high risk of morbidity and mortality, frequently occurs in women and is considered a malignant tumor. Globally, breast cancer is considered the second leading cause of death. Accordingly, its poor prognosis, invasive metastasis, and relapse have motivated oncologists and nano-medical researchers to develop highly potent nanotherapies to cure this deadly disease. In this case, nanoparticles have emerged as responsive platforms for breast cancer management, providing new approaches to improve the diagnostic accuracy, deliver targeted therapies, and limit the progression of this disease. Recently, smart nano-carriers encapsulating drugs, ligands, and tracking probes have been developed for the specific therapy of breast cancers. Further, efforts have been devoted to developing various nano-systems with minimal toxicity. The aim of this review is to present a background on novel nanotheranostic methods that can be employed to diagnose and treat breast cancers and encourage readers to focus on the development of novel nanomedicine for breast cancers and other deadly diseases. In this context, we discuss different methods for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of breast cancers using different metal and metal oxide nanoparticles.

ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:10945-10957. [PMID: 38463263 PMCID: PMC10918815 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c10344] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024]
Abstract
Zinc (Zn) is a bioabsorbable metal that shows great potential as an implant material for orthopedic applications. Suitable concentrations of zinc ions promote osteogenesis, while excess zinc ions cause apoptosis. As a result, the conflicting impacts of Zn2+ concentration on osteogenesis could prove to be significant problems for the creation of novel materials. This study thoroughly examined the cell viability, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) cultured in various concentrations of Zn2+ in vitro and validated the osteogenesis effects of zinc implantation in vivo. The effective promotion of cell survival, proliferation, migration, and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSCs) may be achieved at a low concentration of Zn2+ (125 μM). The excessively high concentration of zinc ions (>250 μM) not only reduces BMSCs' viability and proliferation but also causes them to suffer apoptosis due to the disturbed zinc homeostasis and excessive Zn2+. Moreover, transcriptome sequencing was used to examine the underlying mechanisms of zinc-induced osteogenic differentiation with particular attention paid to the PI3K-AKT and TGF-β pathways. The present investigation elucidated the dual impacts of Zn2+ microenvironments on the osteogenic characteristics of rBMSCs and the associated processes and might offer significant insights for refining the blueprint for zinc-based biomaterials.

Abstract
The dense stroma of desmoplastic tumor limits nanotherapeutic penetration and hampers the antitumor immune response. Here, we report a denaturation-and-penetration strategy and the use of tin monosulfide nanoparticles (SnSNPs) as nano-sonosensitizers that can overcome the stromal barrier for the management of desmoplastic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). SnSNPs possess a narrow bandgap (1.18 eV), allowing for efficient electron (e-)-hole (h+) pair separation to generate reactive oxygen species under US activation. More importantly, SnSNPs display mild photothermal properties that can in situ denature tumor collagen and facilitate deep penetration into the tumor mass upon near-infrared irradiation. This approach significantly enhances sonodynamic therapy (SDT) by SnSNPs and boosts antitumor immunity. In mouse models of malignant TNBC and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the combination of robust SDT and enhanced cytotoxic T lymphocyte infiltration achieves remarkable anti-tumor efficacy. This study presents an innovative approach to enhance SDT and antitumor immunity using the denaturation-and-penetration strategy, offering a potential combined sono-immunotherapy approach for the cancer nanomedicine field.

Abstract
The rapid development of nanotechnology requires a more thorough understanding of the potential health effects caused by nanoparticles (NPs). As a programmed cell death, autophagy is one of the biological effects induced by NPs, which maintain intracellular homeostasis by degrading damaged organelles and removing aggregates of defective proteins through lysosomes. Currently, autophagy has been shown to be associated with the development of several diseases. A significant number of research have demonstrated that most NPs can regulate autophagy, and their regulation of autophagy is divided into induction and blockade. Studying the autophagy regulation by NPs will facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of the toxicity of NPs. In this review, we will illustrate the effects of different types of NPs on autophagy, including inorganic NPs, organic NPs, and organic/inorganic hybrid NPs. The potential mechanisms by which NPs regulate autophagy are highlighted, including organelle damage, oxidative stress, inducible factors, and multiple signaling pathways. In addition, we list the factors influencing NPs-regulated autophagy. This review may provide basic information for the safety assessment of NPs.

Abstract
Plant-derived nanomaterials (PDNM) have gained significant attention recently due to their potential pharmacological applications against pathogenic microbes, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and certain metabolic diseases. This review introduces the concept of PDNMs and their unique properties, including their small size, high surface area, and ability to penetrate biological barriers. Besides various methods for synthesizing PDNMs, such as green synthesis techniques that utilize plant extracts and natural compounds, the advantages of using plant-derived materials, such as their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low toxicity, were elucidated. In addition, it examines the recent and emerging trends in nanomaterials derived from plant approaches to combat antimicrobial resistance and metabolic diseases. The sizes of nanomaterials and their surface areas are vital as they play essential roles in the interactions and relationships between these materials and the biological components or organization. We critically analyze the biomedical applications of nanoparticles which include antibacterial composites for implantable devices and nanosystems to combat antimicrobial resistance, enhance antibiotic delivery, and improve microbial diagnostic/detection systemsIn addition, plant extracts can potentially interfere with metabolic syndrome pathways; hence most nano-formulations can reduce chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, lipid profile, and antimicrobial resistance. As a result, these innovative plant-based nanosystems may be a promising contender for various pharmacological applications.

Abstract
In the prevailing environmental status quo, bacterial resistance has made antibiotics and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) ineffective, imparting a serious threat and putting a much greater financial burden on the biomedical and food industries. For this reason, the present study investigates the potential of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) coated with chitosan (CS-IONP) as a platform for augmenting the antimicrobial activity of antimicrobial peptides like nisin. Hence, the nisin is allowed to be adsorbed onto chitosan-coated IONPs to formulate nisin-loaded CS-IONP nanoconjugates. The nanoconjugates were characterized by various optical techniques, such as XRD, FTIR, SEM, zeta and DLS. Remarkably, lower concentrations of N-CS-IONP nanoconjugate exhibited significant and broad-spectrum antibacterial potency compared to bare IONPs and nisin against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Biofilm production was also found to be drastically reduced in the presence of nanoconjugates. Further investigation established a relationship between an increase in antibacterial activity and the enhanced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Oxidative stress exhibited due to enhanced ROS generation is a conclusive reason for the rupturing of bacterial membranes and leakage of cytoplasmic contents, eventually leading to the death of the bacteria. Thus, the current study emphasizes the formulation of a novel antimicrobial agent which exploits magnetic nanoparticles modulated with chitosan for enhanced remediation of resistant bacteria due to oxidative stress imparted by the nanoconjugates upon interaction with the bacteria, leading to cell death.

Abstract
The ability of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) to induce bacteriostasis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) and their roles in regulating the pathogenic activities of immune cells have been reported previously, but the specific mechanisms underlying these regulatory functions remain unclear. This work aimed to determine how ZnONPs play the antibacterial role against M. tb. In vitro activity assays were employed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the ZnONPs against various strains of M. tb (BCG, H37Rv, and clinical susceptible MDR and XDR strains). The ZnONPs had MICs of 0.5-2 mg/L against all tested isolates. In addition, changes in the expression levels of autophagy and ferroptosis-related markers in BCG-infected macrophages exposed to ZnONPs were measured. BCG-infected mice that were administered ZnONPs were used to determine the ZnONPs functions in vivo. ZnONPs decreased the number of bacteria engulfed by the macrophages in a dose-dependent manner, while different doses of ZnONPs also affected inflammation in different directions. Although ZnONPs enhanced the BCG-induced autophagy of macrophages in a dose-dependent manner, only low doses of ZnONPs activated autophagy mechanisms by increasing the levels of pro-inflammatory factors. The ZnONPs also enhanced BCG-induced ferroptosis of macrophages at high doses. Co-administration of a ferroptosis inhibitor with the ZnONPs improved the anti-Mycobacterium activity of ZnONPs in an in vivo mouse model and alleviated acute lung injury caused by ZnONPs. Based on the above findings, we conclude that ZnONPs may act as potential antibacterial agents in future animal and clinical studies.

Abstract
In this article, we aimed to develop a unique treatment approach to cure cervical cancer without harming healthy normal cells and overcome the limitations of currently available therapies/treatments. Recently, chemotherapeutics based on metal oxides have gained attention as a promising approach for treating cancer. Herein, ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized with the leaf extract of Azadirachta indica. These green synthesized ZnO nanoparticles were used for a cytotoxic study on the cervical squamous carcinoma cell line SiHa and murine macrophage cell line RAW 264.7. Moreover, a hemolytic assay was performed to check the biocompatibility of ZnO nanoparticles. The biosynthesized ZnO nanoparticles were labeled as L1, L2, L5, and L10 nanoparticles. Various assays like crystal violet, MTT assay, and AO/PI dual staining method were performed to assess the anticancer potential of ZnO. The concentration of ZnO nanoparticles was taken in the range of 100-250 μg/mL in the in vitro anticancer study on SiHa cancer cell lines. The findings of the MTT assay revealed that biosynthesized ZnO nanoparticles exhibited significant cytotoxicity against SiHa cancer cell lines dose-dependently at two incubation times (24 and 48 h). Also, a decrease in cell viability was observed with an increased concentration of ZnO. The IC50 values obtained were 141 μg/mL for L1, 132 μg/mL for L2, 127 μg/mL for L5, and 115 μg/mL for L10 nanoparticles. In addition, cisplatin drug (10 μg/mL) was also used to compare the anticancer activity with the biosynthesized L1, L2, L5, and L10 nanoparticles. The results of the crystal violet assay and AO/PI dual staining method revealed that morphological changes like cell shrinkage, poor cell adhesion, and induction of apoptosis occurred in the SiHa cancer cell lines. Furthermore, the stability of the ZnO nanoparticles at physiological pH has been assessed by recording the UV-visible spectrum at various pH values. Hence, the overall findings suggested that biosynthesized ZnO nanoparticles can be utilized for cervical squamous cancer treatment in addition to the current treatment strategies/techniques.

Abstract
Inside the biological milieu, nanoparticles with photocatalytic activity have potential to trigger cell death non-specifically due to production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon reacting with biological entities. Silver nanoparticle (AgNP) possessing narrow band gap energy can exhibit high light absorption property and significant photocatalytic activity. This study intends to explore the effects of ROS generated due to photocatalytic activity of AgNP on antimicrobial and cytotoxic propensities. To this end, AgNP was synthesized using the principle of green chemistry from the peel extract of Punica granatum L., and was characterized using UV-Vis spectroscope, transmission electron microscope and x-ray diffraction, and so forth. The antimicrobial activity of AgNP against studied bacteria indicated that, ROS generated at AgNP interface develop stress on bacterial membrane leading to bacterial cell death, whereas Alamar Blue dye reduction assay indicated that increased cytotoxic activity with increasing concentrations of AgNP. The γH2AX activity assay revealed that increasing the concentrations of AgNP increased DNA damaging activity. The results altogether demonstrated that both antimicrobial and cytotoxic propensities are triggered primarily due interfacial ROS generation by photocatalytic AgNP, which caused membrane deformation in bacteria and DNA damage in HT1080 cells resulting in cell death.

Structural and antibacterial studies of novel ZnO and Zn xMn (1-x)O nanostructured titanium scaffolds for biomedical applications. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 145:213193. [PMID: 36587469 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2022.213193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Revised: 11/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
In the biomedical field, the demand for the development of broad-spectrum biomaterials able to inhibit bacterial growth is constantly increasing. Chronic infections represent the most serious and devastating complication related to the use of biomaterials. This is particularly relevant in the orthopaedic field, where infections can lead to implant loosening, arthrodesis, amputations and sometimes death. Antibiotics are the conventional approach for implanted-associated infections, but they have the limitation of increasing antibiotic resistance, a critical worldwide healthcare issue. In this context, the development of anti-infective biomaterials and infection-resistant surfaces can be considered the more effective strategy to prevent the implant colonisation and biofilm formation by bacteria, so reducing the occurrence of implant-associated infections. In the last years, inorganic nanostructures have become extremely appealing for chemical modifications or coatings of Ti surfaces, since they do not generate antibiotic resistance issues and are featured by superior stability, durability, and full compatibility with the sterilization process. In this work, we present a simple, rapid, and cheap chemical nanofunctionalization of titanium (Ti) scaffolds with colloidal ZnO and Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles (NPs), prepared by a sol-gel method, exhibiting antibacterial activity. ZnO NPs and ZnxMn(1-x)O NPs formation with a size around 10-20nm and band gap values of 3.42 eV and 3.38 eV, respectively, have been displayed by characterization studies. UV-Vis, fluorescence, and Raman investigation suggested that Mn ions acting as dopants in the ZnO lattice. Ti scaffolds have been functionalized through dip coating, obtaining ZnO@Ti and ZnxMn(1-x)O@Ti biomaterials characterized by a continuous nanostructured film. ZnO@Ti and ZnxMn(1-x)O@Ti displayed an enhanced antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) bacterial strains, compared to NPs in solution with better performance of ZnxMn(1-x)O@Ti respect to ZnO@Ti. Notably, it has been observed that ZnxMn(1-x)O@Ti scaffolds reach a complete eradication for S. aureus and 90 % of reduction for P. aeruginosa. This can be attributed to Zn2+ and Mn2+ metal ions release (as observed by ICP MS experiments) that is also maintained over time (72 h). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study reported in the literature describing ZnO and Mn-doped ZnO NPs nanofunctionalized Ti scaffolds with improved antibacterial performance, paving the way for the realization of new hybrid implantable devices through a low-cost process, compatible with the biotechnological industrial chain method.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanoparticles (1-10 nm) with excellent optical and electrical properties. As QDs show great promise for applications in fields such as biomedicine, their biosafety is widely emphasized. Therefore, studies on the potential 'nanotoxicity' of QDs in genetic material are warranted. This review summarizes and discusses recent reports derived from different cell lines or animal models concerning the effects of QDs on genetic material. QDs could induce many types of genetic material damage, which subsequently triggers a series of cellular adverse outcomes, including apoptosis, cell cycle arrest and senescence. However, the individual biological and ecological significance of the genotoxicity of QDs is not yet clear. In terms of mechanisms of genotoxicity, QDs can damage DNA either through their own nanomorphology or through the released metal ions. It also includes the reactive oxygen species generation, inflammation and failure of DNA damage repair. Notably, apoptosis may lead to false positive results in genotoxicity tests. Finally, given the different uses of QDs and the interference of the physicochemical properties of QDs on the test method, genotoxicity testing of QDs should be different from traditional toxic compounds, which requires further research.

Abstract
Cancer is a debilitating and deadly disease caused by the uncontrolled growth of aberrant cell populations. This disease cannot always be controlled with traditional therapies and medicines. Different medicines are being used for this purpose, however these medicines have their side effects and are harmful to healthy cells. A better way to cure cancer disease is by limiting the agglomeration of cancer cells, minimizing their growth and their population by destroying these harmful cells. This could be achieved by controlling the function of mitochondria and DNA in cancer cells with the use of biocompatible materials with tuneable physical properties. Accordingly, research is ongoing as to the use of nanomaterials and nanotechnology in medicine. Zinc oxide semiconductor nanoparticles have displayed good anticancer behaviour. They have unique properties such as biocompatibility, good stability, and are environmentally friendly. Owing to these characteristics, they are focused on biological applications such as drug delivery and cancer therapy. In the present research work, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide nanoparticles and titanium oxide-zinc oxide nanocomposites were successfully trailed for anti-cancer activity. Pure zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) and their nanocomposites (TiO2+ZnO NPs) were prepared by the co-precipitation technique. The structural properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction, which confirmed the Wurtzite structure of pure ZnO NPs. The morphology of the NPs was checked by scanning electron microscopy. For incident light having a higher energy band gap of nanomaterials, the electrons are excited to the conduction band and these electrons generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). The efficacy of these nanomaterials was checked by exposing the NPs to the human liver cancer cell HepG2. The MTT assay describes anticancer activity via cell viability. The cell viability of composites was observed to be greater than pure ZnO NPs. Their results showed that the structure of ZnO NPs remains the same with composites of TiO2 NPs, but the band gap of the composite was intermediate for individual samples. It also showed that the anticancer activity of composites was also less than pure ZnO NPs which is due to the reduction of ROS generation. This is observed that nanocomposites of ZnO and TiO2 could be effective in the development of a treatment of human liver cancer cells.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely used for various purposes due to their unique physicochemical properties. Such widespread applications greatly increase the possibility of human exposure to NPs in various ways. Once entering the human body, NPs may interfere with cellular homeostasis and thus affect the physiological system. As a result, it is necessary to evaluate the potential disturbance of NPs to multiple cell functions, including autophagy. Autophagy is an important cell function to maintain cellular homeostasis, and minimizing the disturbance caused by NP exposures to autophagy is critical to nanosafety. Herein, we summarized the recent research progress in nanotoxicity with particular focuses on the perturbation of NPs to cell autophagy. The basic processes of autophagy and complex relationships between autophagy and major human diseases were further discussed to emphasize the importance of keeping autophagy under control. Moreover, the most recent advances on perturbation of different types of NPs to autophagy were also reviewed. Last but not least, we also discussed major research challenges and potential coping strategies and proposed a safe-by-design strategy towards safer applications of NPs.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are important semiconductor materials with interesting photo-responsive properties. During the past, ZnO-based NPs have received considerable attention for photodynamic therapy (PDT) due to their biocompatibility and excellent potential of generating tumor-killing reactive oxygen species (ROS) through gentle photodynamic activation. This article provides a comprehensive review of the recent developments and improvements in optical properties of ZnO NPs as photosensitizers for PDT. The optical properties of ZnO-based photosensitizers are significantly dependent on their charge separation, absorption potential, band gap engineering, and surface area, which can be adjusted/tuned by doping, compositing, and morphology control. Here, we first summarize the recent progress in the charge separation capability, absorption potential, band gap engineering, and surface area of nanosized ZnO-based photosensitizers. Then, morphology control that is closely related to their synthesis method is discussed. Following on, the state-of-art for the ZnO-based NPs in the treatment of hypoxic tumors is comprehensively reviewed. Finally, we provide some outlooks on common targeted therapy methods for more effective tumor killing, including the attachment of small molecules, antibodies, ligands molecules, and receptors to NPs which further improve their selective distribution and targeting, hence improving the therapeutic effectiveness. The current review may provide useful guidance for the researchers who are interested in this promising dynamic cancer treatment technology.

Abstract
Although the neurotoxicity of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) has been evaluated in animal and nerve cell culture models, these models cannot accurately mimic human brains. Three-dimensional (3D) brain organoids based on human-induced pluripotent stem cells have been developed to study the human brains, but this model has rarely been used to evaluate NP neurotoxicity. We used 3D brain organoids that express cortical layer proteins to investigate the mechanisms of ZnO NP-induced neurotoxicity. Cytotoxicity caused by high levels of ZnO NPs (64 μg/mL) correlated with high intracellular Zn ion levels but not superoxide levels. Exposure to a non-cytotoxic concentration of ZnO NPs (16 μg/mL) increased the autophagy-marker proteins LC3B-II/I but decreased p62 accumulation, whereas a cytotoxic concentration of ZnO NPs (64 μg/mL) decreased LC3B-II/I proteins but did not affect p62 accumulation. Fluorescence micro-optical sectioning tomography revealed that 64 μg/mL ZnO NPs led to decreases in LC3B proteins that were more obvious at the outer layers of the organoids, which were directly exposed to the ZnO NPs. In addition to reducing LC3B proteins in the outer layers, ZnO NPs increased the number of micronuclei in the outer layers but not the inner layers (where LC3B proteins were still expressed). Adding the autophagy flux inhibitor bafilomycin A1 to ZnO NPs increased cytotoxicity and intracellular Zn ion levels, but adding the autophagy inducer rapamycin only slightly decreased cellular Zn ion levels. We conclude that high concentrations of ZnO NPs are cytotoxic to 3D brain organoids via defective autophagy and intracellular accumulation of Zn ions.

Abstract
The impact of hydrogen on the conductivity and vibration for zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles had implicated for nanoscale optoelectronic units. Infrared reflectance spectra for ZnO hydrogen-annealed nanoparticles were calculated at incidence. The theory of density functional theory is applied to the reflectance model and absorption spectra. There is an agreement between both the model suggesting that the nanoparticles have inhomogeneous carriers’ concentrations and the experimental results. A significant decrease in carrier concentration resulted from exposure to oxygen for several hours, according to the adsorption on the nanoparticle surface of negative oxygen molecules. Also, the density of states in deferent wurtzoid’s size has been studied. The experimental energy gap values of bulk ZnO, HOMO and LUMO levels as a function of the total Zn and O atoms number in ZnOH diamondoids were determined, as well as the bond length in deferent wurtzoid’s size where the experimental ZnO bond length at 1.9767 Å has been calculated. The tetrahedral angles in deferent wurtzoid’s size were studied, deferent wurtzoid’s size Reduced mass as a vibration frequency function and force constant as a function of vibrational frequency in deferent wurtzoid’s size were determined. A good result for infrared as a vibration frequency function in deferent wurtzoid’s size has been found, as well as Raman as a vibration frequency function in deferent wurtzoid’s size.

Abstract
Purpose Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) are one of the most important nanomaterials that are widely used in the food, cosmetic and medical industries. Humans are often exposed to ZnONPs via inhalation, and they may reach the brain where neurotoxic effects could occur via systemic distribution. However, the mechanisms underlying how ZnONPs produce neurotoxic effects in the brain remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the novel mechanism involved in ZnONPs-induced neurotoxicity. Methods and Results We demonstrated for the first time that pulmonary exposure to ZnONPs by intratracheal instillation could trigger ferroptosis, a new form of cell death, in the neuronal cells of mouse cerebral cortex. A similar phenomenon was also observed in cultured neuron-like PC-12 cell line. By using a specific inhibitor of ferroptosis ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1), our results showed that inhibition of ferroptosis by Fer-1 could significantly alleviate the ZnONPs-induced neuronal cell death both in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistic investigation revealed that ZnONPs selectively activated the JNK pathway and thus resulted in the ferroptotic phenotypes, JNK inhibitor SP600125 could reverse lipid peroxidation upregulation and ferroptotic cell death induced by ZnONPs in PC-12 cells. Conclusion Taken together, this study not only demonstrates that pulmonary exposure of ZnONPs can induce JNK-involved ferroptotic cell death in mouse cortex and PC-12 cells, but also provides a clue that inhibition of ferroptosis by specific agents or drugs may serve as a feasible approach for reducing the untreatable neurotoxicity induced by ZnONPs.

Abstract
Metal-based nanoparticles applied to potentiating the effects of radiotherapy have drawn significant attention from the research community and are now available clinically. By improving our mechanistic understanding, nanoparticles are likely to evolve to provide very significant improvements in radiotherapy outcomes with only incremental increase in cost. This review critically assesses the inconsistent observations surrounding physical, physicochemical, chemical and biological mechanisms of radiosensitization. In doing so, a number of needs are identified for continuing research and are highlighted. The large degree of variability from one nanoparticle to another emphasizes that it is a mistake to generalize nanoparticle radiosensitizer mechanisms. Nanoparticle formulations should be considered in an analogous way as pharmacological agents and as a broad class of therapeutic agents, needing to be considered with a high degree of individuality with respect to their interactions and ultimate impact on radiobiological response. In the same way that no universal anti-cancer drug exists, it is unlikely that a single nanoparticle formulation will lead to the best therapeutic outcomes for all cancers. The high degree of complexity and variability in mechanistic action provides notable opportunities for nanoparticle formulations to be optimized for specific indications. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology.

Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is considered as a potential antimicrobial agent. This work aims to investigate the properties of ZnO and Mn-doped ZnO (1% and 5%) fabricated using aqueous leaf extract of Melastoma malabathricum via green synthesis and its antibacterial activities. The synthesized ZnO and Mn-doped ZnO were characterized using different techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The synthesized ZnO and Mn-doped ZnO were tested for its antibacterial properties on two Gram-negative bacteria: Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and two Gram-positive bacteria: Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus. The results showed positive antibacterial effects for B. subtilis and S. aureus only. Among the three materials tested, 1% Mn-doped ZnO exhibited the highest antibacterial activity for B. subtilis with the minimum inhibitory concentration being 50 mg/mL.

Abstract
α-Synuclein is an intrinsically disordered amyloidogenic protein associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). The monomeric α-synuclein transition into amyloid fibril involves multiple steps, which are affected by several intrinsic and extrinsic factors. This increases complexities in development of targeted therapeutics against the pathological intermediate(s). Several studies have been dedicated to find an effective molecule to inhibit the detrimental amyloidogenesis. In recent years, metal oxide nanoparticle interfaces have shown direct effects on protein conformation, hence may be adopted as an alternative potential therapeutic approach against amyloidosis. In this context, our study explores the zinc oxide nanoparticle (ZnONP) with negative surface potential interface interaction with α-synuclein, and subsequent impact of the interaction on the protein fibrillation and the fibril-mediated cytotoxicity. N-terminus amphipathic "KA/TKE/QGV" repeating motifs in α-synuclein primarily interact with the ZnONP interface that enthalpically drives initial adsorption of the protein onto the interface. Whereas, subsequent bulk-protein adsorption onto the hard-corona is entropically driven, leading into flocculation of the complex. The flocs appear as amorphous mesh-like morphology in TEM micrographs, as opposed to the typical fibrils formed by the wild-type protein. Interestingly, α-synuclein in complex with ZnONP shows significantly lowered cytotoxicity against the IMR32 and THP-1 cells in-vitro, as compared to fresh α-synuclein.

Abstract
Zinc-incorporated biomaterials show promoting effects on osteogenesis; however, excessive zinc ions lead to cytotoxic reactions and also have other adverse effects. Therefore, the double-edged effects of Zn2+ microenvironments on osteogenesis may become critical issues for new material development. This study systematically investigated the bidirectional influences of diverse Zn2+ microenvironments on the cell adhesion, proliferation, osteogenic differentiation and apoptosis of rBMSCs. Furthermore, the mechanisms of zinc-induced osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs and of cell apoptosis induced by high concentration of Zn2+ were both discussed in detail. The results indicated that the Zn2+ microenvironments of 2 μg mL−1 and 5 μg mL−1 effectively improved the initial adhesion and proliferation of rBMSCs, while that of 15 μg mL−1 had exactly the opposite effect. More importantly, the suitable Zn2+ microenvironments (2 μg mL−1 and 5 μg mL−1) moderately increased the intracellular Zn2+ concentration by regulating zinc transportation, and then activated the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway to induce the osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs. In contrast, the high Zn2+ concentration (15 μg mL−1) not only inhibited the osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs by damaging intracellular zinc homeostasis, but also induced rBMSC apoptosis by enhancing intracellular ROS generation. The current study clarified the double-edged effects of Zn2+ microenvironments on the osteogenic properties of rBMSCs and the related mechanisms, and may provide valuable guidance for optimizing the design of zinc-doped biomaterials and zinc-based alloys. Dual-directional regulation of diverse Zn2+ microenvironments on osteogenic activity of BMSCs plays important roles in the design of zinc-containing biomaterials.![]()

Abstract
Widespread application of silica nanoparticles (nSiO2) and ubiquitous metalloid arsenic (As) may increase their chances of co-exposure to human beings in daily life. Nonetheless, studies on combined effects of nSiO2 and As in human cells are lacking. We investigated the co-exposure effects of nSiO2 and As in human liver (HepG2) and human fibroblast (HT1080) cells. Results showed that nSiO2 did not cause cytotoxicity. However, exposure of As caused oxidative stress and apoptosis in both types of cells. Interesting results were that co-exposure of a non-cytotoxic concentration of nSiO2 significantly augmented the As induced toxicity in both cells. Intracellular level of As was higher in the co-exposure group (nSiO2 + As) than the As group alone, suggesting that nSiO2 facilitates the cellular uptake of As. Co-exposure of nSiO2 and As potentiated oxidative stress indicated by pro-oxidants generation (reactive oxygen species, hydrogen peroxide and lipid peroxidation) and antioxidants depletion (glutathione level, and glutathione reductase, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities). In addition, co-exposure of nSiO2 and As also potentiated mitochondria-mediated apoptosis suggested by increased expression of p53, bax, caspase-3 and caspase-9 genes (pro-apoptotic) and decreased expression of bcl-2 gene (anti-apoptotic) along with depleted mitochondrial membrane potential. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study showing that co-exposure of nSiO2 and As induced augmentation of oxidative stress and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in HepG2 and HT1080 cells. Hence, careful attention is required for human health assessment following combined exposure to nSiO2 and As.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) with their wide range of consumer applications in day-to-day life received great attention to evaluate their effects in humans. This study has been attempted to elucidate the DNA damage response mechanism in a dermal model exposed to ZnO NPs through Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM)-mediated ChK1-dependent G2/M arrest. Further, viability parameters and mechanism involved in the cell death with special reference to the consequences arising due to DNA damage were explored. Our study showed that ZnO NPs at concentrations 5 and 10 µg/ml induced significant cytotoxic effect in skin cell line. Moreover, the results confirmed generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induces the cell death by genotoxic insult, leading to mitochondrial membrane depolarisation and cell cycle arrest. Subsequently, ZnO NPs treatment created DNA damage as confirmed via Comet assay (increase in olive tail moment), micronucleus assay (increase in micronucleus formation), double-strand breaks (increase in ATM and Ataxia Telangiectasia and Rad3 related (ATR) expression), DNA fragmentation and cell cycle (G2/M arrest) studies. Finally, marker proteins analysis concluded the mechanistic approach by demonstrating the key marker expressions HMOX1 and HSP60 (for oxidative stress), cytochrome c, APAF1, BAX, Caspase 9, Caspase 3 and decrease in BCL2 (for activating apoptotic pathway), pATM, ATR and γH2AX (for double-strand breaks), DNA-PK (involved in DNA repair) and decrease in cell cycle regulators. In together, our data revealed the mechanism of ROS generation that triggers apoptosis and DNA damage in HaCaT cell lines exposed to ZnO NPs.

Abstract
Development of novel approach for cancer therapy, sparing healthy normal cells overcoming the limitation of available therapies is of prime importance for cervical cancer treatment. Recently metal oxide based chemotherapeutics has emanated as a promising approach for cancer therapy. Hence, the present study was carried out to assess the anticancer potential of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) synthesized using biogenic source, aqueous extract of Gracilaria edulis. The prepared ZnONPs were characterized using UV-Visible spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD, FESEM, EDX and HRTEM. The anticancer potential of ZnONPs against cervical cancer cell lines (SiHa cells) was evaluated using MTT and the mechanism of apoptosis was evaluated using various staining techniques. UV-Vis spectroscopy exhibited absorption band at 367 nm specific for ZnONPs and the average energy gap was calculated as 3.37 eV. Further characterization by XRD, TEM, and FESEM illustrated the formation of wurtzite structure (hexagonal phase) with size ranging between 20 and 50 nm. EDS of SEM analysis confirmed the presence of Zn and O, which was further substantiated by XPS analysis. PL emission studies showed UV emission peak at 387 nm and broad visible emission peak at 520 nm. Zeta potential value of -28.2 mV depicted the stability of ZnONPs in the dispersion medium. Results of anticancer potential illustrated that ZnONPs exhibited cytotoxic effect against SiHa cells in a dose dependent manner with IC50 value of 35 ± 0.03 μg/ml. AO/EtBr dual staining, JC-1 staining, Hoechst 33258 nuclear staining and comet assay illustrated the ZnONPs induced ROS mediated mitochondrial dependent apoptotic cell death in SiHa cells. Further, flow cytometric analysis using Annexin V/FITC dye demonstrated that ZnONPs induced both apoptotic and necrotic mediated death in SiHa cells. Over all the results conclude that ZnONPs synthesized using algal sources might act as a new medicinal approach for the treatment of cervical carcinoma in conjugation with the current therapy.

Abstract
Nanoparticles fabricated using medicinal plant extract have great potential in the area of nanomedicine. High surface-to-volume ratio of nanoparticle enhances the local active biomolecules concentration, leading to many fold increase in the medicinal potentials. The silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) fabricated using indigenous medicinal plants of India, Azadirachta indica and Syzygium cumini, have shown a significant effect on the viability of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Biofabrication of AgNP was confirmed using different spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. Extraction and purification of AgNP from non-conjugated plant moieties are done using centrifugation and size exclusion chromatography. The cytotoxic propensity of AgNP formulations was screened against Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis), Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria, cancerous (HT1080) and non-cancerous (HEK293) cell lines. The nanoparticle formulations showed a relatively higher cytotoxic propensity against Gram-positive bacteria and cancerous cell lines. In addition, the surface roughness and reactive oxygen species (ROS) measurements indicated that AgNP formulations mediate the cell activity predominantly by ROS-mediated disruptive change in membrane morphology upon direct interaction with the membrane. Hence, the nanoparticle formulations show an enhanced selective cytotoxic propensity towards Gram-positive bacteria and cancerous cell lines.

Abstract
Background Development of new nanomaterials that inhibit or kill bacteria is an important and timely research topic. For example, financial losses due to infectious diseases, such as diarrhea, are a major concern in livestock productions around the world. Antimicrobial nanoparticles (NPs) represent a promising alternative to antibiotics and may lower antibiotic use and consequently spread of antibiotic resistance traits among bacteria, including pathogens. Results Four formulations of zinc nanoparticles (ZnA, ZnB, ZnC, and ZnD) based on phosphates with spherical (ZnA, ZnB) or irregular (ZnC, ZnD) morphology were prepared. The highest in vitro inhibitory effect of our NPs was observed against Staphylococcus aureus (inhibitory concentration values, IC50, ranged from 0.5 to 1.6 mmol/L), followed by Escherichia coli (IC50 0.8-1.5 mmol/L). In contrast, methicillin resistant S. aureus (IC50 1.2-4.7 mmol/L) was least affected and this was similar to inhibitory patterns of commercial ZnO-based NPs and ZnO. After the successful in vitro testing, the in vivo study with rats based on dietary supplementation with zinc NPs was conducted. Four groups of rats were treated by 2,000 mg Zn/kg diet of ZnA, ZnB, ZnC, and ZnD, for comparison two groups were supplemented by 2,000 mg Zn/kg diet of ZnO-N and ZnO, and one group (control) was fed only by basal diet. The significantly higher (P < 0.05) Zn level in liver and kidney of all treated groups was found, nevertheless Zn NPs did not greatly influence antioxidant status of rats. However, the total aerobic and coliform bacterial population in rat feces significantly decreased (P < 0.05) in all zinc groups after 30 d of the treatment. Furthermore, when compared to the ZnO group, ZnA and ZnC nanoparticles reduced coliforms significantly more (P < 0.05). Conclusions Our results demonstrate that phosphate-based zinc nanoparticles have the potential to act as antibiotic agents.

Abstract
Nonylphenol (NP) arises from the environmental degradation of nonylphenol ethoxylates. It is a ubiquitous environmental contaminant and has been detected at levels up to 167 nM in rivers in the United States. NP is an endocrine disruptor (ED) that can act as an agonist for estrogen receptors. The Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) framework defines an adverse outcome as the causal result of a series of molecular initiating events (MIEs) and key events (KEs) that lead to altered phenotypes. This study examined the liver transcriptome after a 21 day exposure to NP and 17β-estradiol (E2) by exploiting the zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a systems toxicology model. The goal of this study was to tease out non-estrogenic genomic signatures associated with NP exposure using DNA microarray and RNA sequencing. Our experimental design included E2 as a positive and potent estrogenic control in order to effectively compare and contrast the 2 compounds. This approach allowed us to identify hepatic transcriptomic perturbations that could serve as MIEs for adverse health outcomes in response to NP. Our results revealed that exposure to NP was associated with differential expression (DE) of genes associated with the development of steatosis, disruption of metabolism, altered immune response, and metabolism of reactive oxygen species, further highlighting NP as a chemical of emerging concern (CEC).

Abstract
Manganese (IV) oxide nanoparticles (MnO2 NPs) are increasingly used in numerous applications. Multiple applications of MnO2 NPs, however, increase the human exposure and thus potential risk related to their toxicity. There is little information regarding the toxicity mechanisms of MnO2 NPs in human cells. In this study, we explored the toxic potential of MnO2 NPs in human breast cancer epithelial (MCF-7) and human fibrosarcoma epithelial (HT1080) cells in order to examine whether epithelial cells of different origins showed similar responses. Results demonstrated that MnO2 NPs induced cell viability reduction and membrane damage in both MCF-7 and HT1080 cells in a dose-dependent manner. MnO2 NPs were also found to induce pro-oxidants generation and antioxidants depletion in both cells. We further observed that MnO2 NPs induce apoptosis in both MCF-7 and HT1080 cells evident by altered regulation of apoptotic genes (p53, bax & bcl-2), cell cycle arrest and low mitochondrial membrane potential. Interestingly, we noticed that HT1080 cells were more susceptible to MnO2 NPs exposure than those of MCF-7 cells. This could be due to higher level of MnO2 NPs uptake into HT1080 cells as compared to MCF-7 cells. However, the mechanism of toxicity induced by MnO2 NPs in both MCF-7 and HT1080 cells was highly similar. This study warrants further research to delineate the underlying mechanisms of MnO2 NPs toxicity at in vivo level.

Insulin adsorption onto zinc oxide nanoparticle mediates conformational rearrangement into amyloid-prone structure with enhanced cytotoxic propensity. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2018; 1863:153-166.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Injection localized amyloidosis is one of the most prevalent disorders in type II diabetes mellitus (TIIDM) patients relying on insulin injections. Previous studies have reported that nanoparticles can play a role in the amyloidogenic process of proteins. Hence, the present study deals with the effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONP) on the amyloidogenicity and cytotoxicity of insulin. METHODS ZnONP is synthesised and characterized using XRD, Zeta Sizer, UV-Visible spectroscope and TEM. The characterization is followed by ZnONP interaction with insulin, which is studied employing fluorescence spectroscopes, isothermal titration calorimetry and molecular dynamics simulations. The interaction leads insulin conformational rearrangement into amyloid-like fibril, which is studied using thioflavin T dye binding assay, circular dichroism spectroscopy and TEM, followed by cytotoxicity propensity using Alamar Blue dye reduction assay. RESULTS Insulin has very weak interaction with ZnONP interface. Insulin at studied concentration forms amorphous aggregates at physiological pH, whereas in presence of ZnONP interface amyloid-like fibrils are formed. While the amyloid-like fibrils are cytotoxic to MIN6 and THP-1 cell lines, insulin and ZnONP individual solutions and their fresh mixtures enhance the cells proliferation. CONCLUSIONS The presence of ZnONP interface enhances insulin fibrillation at physiological pH by providing a favourable template for the nucleation and growth of insulin amyloids. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE The studied protein-nanoparticle system from protein conformational dynamics point of view throws caution over nanoparticle use in biological applications, especially in vivo applications, considering the amyloidosis a very slow but non-curable degenerative disease.

Abstract
Killing osteosarcoma cells by zinc oxide nanoparticles (NPs) and its underlying subcellular mechanism are never studied. Here, it is found that the NPs induce cross talk between apoptosis and autophagy, which leads to osteosarcoma cell death. Specifically, the NP uptake promotes autophagy by inducing accumulation of autophagosomes along with impairment of lysosomal functions. The autophagy further causes the uptaken NPs to release zinc ions by promoting their dissolution. These intracellular zinc ions, together with those that are originally released from the extracellular NPs and flowed into the cells, collectively target and damage mitochondria to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). Then the ROS inhibit cell proliferation by arresting S phase and trigger apoptosis by extrinsic and intrinsic pathways, ultimately leading to cell death. More importantly, suppression of the early stage autophagy restores cell viability by abolishing apoptosis whereas blockade of the late stage autophagy inversely enhances apoptosis. In contrast, inhibition of apoptosis shows a limited ability to restore cell viability but obviously enhance autophagy. Notably, cell viability is strongly ameliorated by the combination of inhibitors for both the late stage autophagy and the apoptosis. These findings provide a mechanistic understanding of the NP-directed autophagy and apoptosis in osteosarcoma cells.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are used in an increasing number of industrial products such as rubber, paint, coating, and cosmetics. In the past two decades, ZnO NPs have become one of the most popular metal oxide nanoparticles in biological applications due to their excellent biocompatibility, economic, and low toxicity. ZnO NPs have emerged a promising potential in biomedicine, especially in the fields of anticancer and antibacterial fields, which are involved with their potent ability to trigger excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, release zinc ions, and induce cell apoptosis. In addition, zinc is well known to keep the structural integrity of insulin. So, ZnO NPs also have been effectively developed for antidiabetic treatment. Moreover, ZnO NPs show excellent luminescent properties and have turned them into one of the main candidates for bioimaging. Here, we summarize the synthesis and recent advances of ZnO NPs in the biomedical fields, which will be helpful for facilitating their future research progress and focusing on biomedical fields.

Abstract
The aim of present investigation is to explore the effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONP, 30 nm) interface on conformational dynamics and stability of lysozyme, at pH 7.4 and pH 9.0. Lysozyme adopts partially disordered conformation at pH 9.0, which adopts fibril morphology in presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), compared to the conformation adopted at pH 7.4. However, the presence of ZnONP interface renders partially disordered lysozyme relatively regular and non-amyloidogenic conformation, and enhances the functional efficacy of lysozyme at pH 9.0. Additionally, the thermograms reveal a non-cooperative unfolding of the pH 9.0 lysozyme conformation, which accompanied with intermediate conformations that increased with increase in the interface concentration. The binding thermodynamics indicate that at pH 9.0, lysozyme conformation preferentially binds to ZnONP interface than SDS interface. The preferential binding is attributed for the resulting anti-fibrillation propensity of ZnONP interface. The data, altogether, suggest that the presence of ZnONP interface resulted in conformational rearrangements in the partially disordered lysozyme at pH 9.0 causing accumulation of non-amyloidogenic and functionally active intermediates, thus shielding the lysozyme from SDS induced fibrillation and cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Although the antibacterial performances of emerging nanoparticles (NPs) have been extensively explored in the nitrifying systems, the impacts of dissolved oxygen (DO) levels on their bio-toxicities to the nitrifiers and the impaired cells' recovery potentials have seldom been addressed yet. In this study, the physiological and transcriptional responses of the typical ammonia oxidizers - Nitrosomonas europaea in a chemostat to the chronic ZnO NP exposure under different DO conditions were investigated. The results indicated that the cells in steady-growth state in the chemostat were more persevering than batch cultured ones to resist ZnO NP stress despite the dose-dependent NP inhibitory effects were observed. In addition, the occurred striking over-expressions of amoA and hao genes at the initial NP exposure stage suggested the cells' self-regulation potentials at the transcriptional level. The low DO (0.5 mg/L) cultured cells displayed higher sensitivity to NP stress than the high DO (2.0 mg/L) cultured ones, probably owning to the inefficient oxygen-dependent electron transfer from ammonia oxidation for energy conversion/production. The following 12-h NP-free batch recovery assays revealed that both high and low DO cultured cells possessed the physiological and metabolic activity recovery potentials, which were in negative correlation with the NP exposure time. The duration of NP stress and the resulting NP dissolution were critical for the cells' damage levels and their performance recoverability. The membrane preservation processes and the associated metabolism regulations were expected to actively participate in the cells' self-adaption to NP stress and thus be responsible for their metabolic activities recovery.

Abstract
The internalization of nanoparticles through the biological membrane is of immense importance for biomedical applications. A fundamental understanding of the lipid specificity and the role of the membrane biochemical and physical forces at play in modulating penetration are lacking. The current understanding of nanoparticle-membrane interaction is drawn mostly from computational studies and lacks sufficient experimental evidence. Herein, using confocal fluorescence imaging and potentiometric dye-based fluorimetry, we first investigated the interaction of ZnONP in both multi-component and individual lipid membranes using cell-like giant unilamellar vesicles to dissect the lipid specificity; also, we investigated the changes in membrane order, anisotropy and hydrophobicity. ZnONP was found to interact with phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylcholine head-group-containing lipids specifically. We further investigated the interaction of ZnONP with three physiologically relevant membrane conditions varying in composition and dipole potential. We found that ZnONP interaction leads to a photoinduced enhancement of the partial-to-complete phase separation depending upon the membrane composition and cholesterol content. Interestingly, while the lipid order of a partially-phase-separated membrane remained unchanged upon ZnONP crowding, a fully-phase-separated membrane showed an increase in the lipid order. Strikingly, ZnONP crowding induced a contrasting effect on the fluorescence anisotropy of the membrane upon binding to the two membrane conditions, in line with the measured diffusion coefficient. ZnONP seems to preferentially penetrate through the liquid disordered areas of the membrane and the boundaries of the phase-separated regions driven by the interplay between the electrostatics and phase boundary conditions, which are collectively dictated by the composition and ZnONP-induced lipid reorganization. The results may lead to a greater understanding of the interplay of membrane parameters and ZnONP interaction in driving passive penetration.
