Abstract
Leukemia is a widespread hematological malignancy characterized by an elevated white blood cell count in both the blood and the bone marrow. Despite notable advancements in leukemia intervention in the clinic, a large proportion of patients, especially acute leukemia patients, fail to achieve long-term remission or complete remission following treatment. Therefore, leukemia therapy necessitates optimization to meet the treatment requirements. In recent years, a multitude of materials have undergone rigorous study to serve as delivery vectors or direct intervention agents to bolster the effectiveness of leukemia therapy. These materials include liposomes, protein-based materials, polymeric materials, cell-derived materials, and inorganic materials. They possess unique characteristics and are applied in a broad array of therapeutic modalities, including chemotherapy, gene therapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and other evolving treatments. Here, an overview of these materials is presented, describing their physicochemical properties, their role in leukemia treatment, and the challenges they face in the context of clinical translation. This review inspires researchers to further develop various materials that can be used to augment the efficacy of multiple therapeutic modalities for novel applications in leukemia treatment.

Biol Trace Elem Res 2024; 202:913-926.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant clonal proliferative plasma cell tumor. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are used for antibacterial and antitumor applications in the biomedical field. This study investigated the autophagy-induced effects of ZnO NPs on the MM cell line RPMI8226 and the underlying mechanism. After RPMI8226 cells were exposed to various concentrations of ZnO NPs, the cell survival rate, morphological changes, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, cell cycle arrest, and autophagic vacuoles were monitored. Moreover, we investigated the expression of Beclin 1 (Becn1), autophagy-related gene 5 (Atg5), and Atg12 at the mRNA and protein levels, as well as the level of light chain 3 (LC3). The results showed that ZnO NPs could effectively inhibit the proliferation and promote the death of RPMI8226 cells in vitro in a dose- and time-dependent manner. ZnO NPs increased LDH levels, enhanced monodansylcadaverine (MDC) fluorescence intensity, and induced cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phases in RPMI8226 cells. Moreover, ZnO NPs significantly increased the expression of Becn1, Atg5, and Atg12 at the mRNA and protein levels and stimulated the production of LC3. We further validated the results using the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3‑MA). Overall, we observed that ZnO NPs can trigger autophagy signaling in RPMI8226 cells, which may be a potential therapeutic approach for MM.

Abstract
The current study aimed to find an effective, simple, ecological, and nontoxic method for bacterial green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) using the bacterial strain Priestia megaterium BASMA 2022 (OP572246). The biosynthesis was confirmed by the change in color of the cell-free supernatant added to the zinc nitrate from yellow to pale brown. The Priestia megaterium zinc oxide nanoparticles (Pm/ZnONPs) were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and zeta potential. The Pm/ZnONPs characterization showed that they have a size ranging between 5.77 and 13.9 nm with a semi-sphere shape that is coated with a protein-carbohydrate complex. An EDX analysis of the Pm/ZnONPs revealed the presence of the shield matrix, which was composed of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, chlorine, potassium, sodium, aluminum, sulfur, and zinc. The results of the FTIR analysis showed that the reduction and stabilization of the zinc salt solution were caused by the presence of O-H alcohols and phenols, O=C=O stretching of carbon dioxide, N=C=S stretching of isothiocyanate, and N-H bending of amine functional groups. The produced ZnONPs had good stability with a charge of - 16.2 mV, as evidenced by zeta potential analysis. The MTT assay revealed IC50 values of 8.42% and 200%, respectively, for the human A375 skin melanoma and human bone marrow 2M-302 cell lines. These findings revealed that the obtained Pm/ZnONPs have the biocompatibility to be applied in the pharmaceutical and biomedical sectors.

Evaluation of the effects of photodynamic therapy consisted of the blue laser and zinc oxide QDs on MDA-MB-231 cancer cells by inhibiting cancer markers and inducing apoptosis.

Abstract
The increasing number of cancer patients has cast attention on developing new anti-cancer modalities. Photodynamic therapy is a safe anti-cancer approach, which encompasses (1) local administration of a photosensitizer and (2) light irradiation. Zinc oxide (ZnO) quantum dots (QDs) are photosensitizers that can be utilized for this purpose. In the present study, to better appreciate the likely more efficient cytotoxic effect of the combination of ZnO QDs and the visible 470-nm blue light in comparison to the QDs alone, several assays were to be conducted upon breast cancer MDA-MB 231 cells. MTT assay showed that in certain groups the combination displayed higher cytotoxic effects compared to those following QD treatment alone. LDH leakage and lipid peroxidation rates by the combination were significantly higher than treatment with either the blue laser or QDs. Although the combination managed to meaningfully reduce the number of colonies and CAT activity compared to QD treatment, there were no palpable differences between them. Lastly, the combination was able to increase the apoptotic genes, including BAX, TP53, caspase 3, and caspase 9 compared to QD, while, in the case of Bcl-2, an anti-apoptotic gene, none of the groups managed to make any tangible differences on its expression levels. Our findings propose that there may be synergistic effects between the blue laser and QD that can possibly be adopted in anti-cancer therapy in the future. However, further investigations regarding this matter are of the essence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) have impressively shown their efficacy in targeting and therapy of cancer. The present research was designated to investigate the potential of ZnONP nanocomposites as a cancer chemotherapeutic-based drug delivery system and to assess the anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory effectiveness of ZnONP nanocomposites combination with systemic chemotherapeutic drugs doxorubicin (DOX) and folic acid (FA) in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) tumor cell line both in vitro and in vivo. METHODS Anti-tumor potential of ZnONP nanocomposites: ZnONPs, ZnONPs/FA, ZnONPs/DOX and ZnONPs/DOX/FA against EAC tumor cell line was evaluated in vitro by MTT assay. Anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory efficacy of ZnONP nanocomposites were analyzed in vivo by examination of the proliferation rate and apoptosis rate of EAC tumor cells by flow cytometry, splenocytes count, level of inflammatory markers interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), as well as liver and kidney function in EAC-challenged mice. RESULTS In vitro results showed that ZnONP nanocomposites showed a high anti-proliferative potency against EAC tumor cells. Furthermore, the in vivo study revealed that the treatment EAC-challenged mice with ZnONPs, ZnONPs/DOX, ZnONPs/FA and ZnONPs/DOX/FA hindered the proliferation rate of implanted EAC tumor cells through lowering their number and increasing their apoptosis rate. Moreover, the treatment of EAC-challenged mice with ZnONPs/DOX/FA markedly decreased the level of IL-6 and TNF-α and remarkably ameliorated the liver and kidney damages that were elevated by implantation of EAC tumor cells, restoring the liver and kidney functions to be close to the naïve mice control. CONCLUSION ZnONP nanocomposites may be useful as a cancer chemotherapeutic-based drug delivery system. ZnONP nanocomposites: ZnONPs/DOX, ZnONPs/FA and ZnONPs/DOX/FA regimen may have anti-inflammatory approaches and a great potential to increase anti-tumor effect of conventional chemotherapy, overcoming resistance to cancer systemic chemotherapeutics and reducing their side effects, offering a promising regimen for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have involved a lot of consideration owing to their distinctive features. The ZnO NPs can be described as particularly synthesized mineral salts via nanotechnology, varying in size from 1 to 100 nm, while zinc oxide (ZnO), it is an inorganic substrate of zinc (Zn). The Zn is a critical trace element necessary for various biological and physiological processes in the body. Studies have revealed ZnO NPs' efficient immuno-modulatory, growth-promoting, and antimicrobial properties in poultry birds. They offer increased bioavailability as compared to their traditional sources, producing better results in terms of productivity and welfare and consequently reducing ecological harm in the poultry sector. However, they have also been reported for their toxicological effects, which are size, shape, concentration, and exposure route dependent. The investigations done so far have yielded inconsistent results, therefore, a lot of additional studies and research are required to clarify the harmful consequences of ZnO NPs and to bring them to a logical end. This review explores an overview of efficient possible role of ZnO NPs, while comparing them with other nutritional Zn sources, in the poultry industry, primarily as dietary supplements that effect the growth, health, and performance of the birds. In addition to the anti-bacterial mechanisms of ZnO NPs and their promising role as antifungal, and anti-colloidal agent, this paper also covers the toxicological mechanisms of ZnO NPs and their consequent toxicological hazards to vital organs and the reproductive system of poultry birds.

Abstract
In this approach, zinc oxide (ZnO) is a multipurpose substance with remarkable characteristics such as high sensitivity, a large specific area, non-toxicity, excellent compatibility, and a high isoelectric point, which make it attractive for discussion with some limitations. It is the most favorable possible option for the collection of nanostructures in terms of structure and their characteristics. The development of numerous ZnO nanostructure-based electrochemical sensors and biosensors used in health diagnosis, pharmaceutical evaluation, food hygiene, and contamination of the environment monitoring is described, as well as the production of ZnO nanostructures. Nanostructured ZnO has good chemical and temperature durability as an n-type semiconducting material, making it useful in a wide range of uses, from luminous materials to supercapacitors, batteries, solar cells, photocatalysis, biosensors, medicinal devices, and more. When compared to the bulk materials, the nanosized materials have both a higher rate of disintegration and a higher solubility. Furthermore, ZnO nanoparticles are regarded as top contenders for electrochemical sensors due to their strong electrochemical behaviors and electron transmission characteristics. The impact of many factors, including selectivity, sensitivity, detection limit, strength, and structures, arrangements, and their respective functioning processes, has been investigated. This study concentrated a substantial amount of its attention on the recent advancements that have been made in ZnO-based nanoparticles, composites, and modified materials for use in the application areas of energy storage and conversion devices as well as biological applications. Supercapacitors, Li-ion batteries, dye-sensitized solar cells, photocatalysis, biosensors, medicinal, and biological systems have been studied. ZnO-based materials are constantly analyzed for their advantages in energy and life science applications.

Abstract
Introduction Cancer chemotherapy faces two major challenges - high toxicity of active substances and tumor resistance to drugs. Low toxic nanocarriers in combination with anticancer agents can significantly increase the effectiveness of therapy. Modern advances in nanotechnology make it easy to create materials with the necessary physical and chemical properties. Methods Two hybrid nanosystems of dextran-polyacrylamide/ zinc oxide nanoparticles (D-PAA/ZnO NPs) were synthesized in aqueous solution with zinc sulphate (D-PAA/ZnO NPs (SO42-)) and zinc acetate (D-PAA/ZnO NPs (-OAc)). The light absorption, fluorescence, dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy for nanocomposite characterization were used. MTT, neutral red uptake and scratch assays were selected as fibroblasts cytotoxicity assays. Cytotoxicity was tested in vitro for normal fibroblasts, MAEC, prostate (LNCaP, PC-3, DU-145) and breast (MDA-MB-231, MCF-7) cancer cells lines. Immunocytochemical methods were used for detection of Ki-67, p53, Bcl-2, Bax, e-cadherin, N-cadherin and CD44 expression. Acridine orange was used to detect morphological changes in cells. Results The radius of ZnO NPs (SO42-) was 1.5 nm and ZnO NPs (-OAc) was 2 nm. The nanosystems were low-toxic to fibroblasts, MAEC. Cells in the last stages of apoptosis with the formation of apoptotic bodies were detected for all investigated cancer cell lines. Proapoptotic proteins expression in cancer cells indicates an apoptotic death. Increased expression of E-cadherin and N-cadherin was registered for cancer cells line LNCaP, PC-3, DU-145 and MCF-7 after 48 h incubation with D-PAA/ZnO NPs (SO42-). Conclusion The nanosystems were low-toxic to fibroblasts, MAEC. The D-PAA/ZnO NPs nanosystem synthesized using zinc sulphate demonstrates high cytotoxicity due to destruction of various types of cancer cells in vitro and potentially increases adhesion between cells. Thus, our findings indicate the selective cytotoxicity of D-PAA/ZnO NPs against cancer cells and can be potentially used for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Engineered nanomaterials induce hazardous effects at the cellular and molecular levels. We investigated different mechanisms underlying the neurotoxic potential of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) on cerebellar tissue and clarified the ameliorative role of Quercetin supplementation. Forty adult male albino rats were divided into control group (I), ZnONPs-exposed group (II), and ZnONPs and Quercetin group (III). Oxidative stress biomarkers (MDA & TOS), antioxidant biomarkers (SOD, GSH, GR, and TAC), serum interleukins (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) were measured. Serum micro-RNA (miRNA): miRNA-21-5p, miRNA-122-5p, miRNA-125b-5p, and miRNA-155-3p expression levels were quantified by real-time quantitative polymerase-chain reaction (RT-QPCR). Cerebellar tissue sections were stained with Hematoxylin & Eosin and Silver stains and examined microscopically. Expression levels of Calbindin D28k, GFAP, and BAX proteins in cerebellar tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry. Quercetin supplementation lowered oxidative stress biomarkers levels and ameliorated the antioxidant parameters that were decreased by ZnONPs. No significant differences in GR activity were detected between the study groups. ZnONPs significantly increased serum IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α which were improved with Quercetin. Serum miRNA-21-5p, miRNA-122-5p, miRNA-125b-5p, and miRNA-155-p expression levels showed significant increase in ZnONPs group, while no significant difference was observed between Quercetin-treated group and control group. ZnONPs markedly impaired cerebellar tissue structure with decreased levels of calbindin D28k, increased BAX and GFAP expression. Quercetin supplementation ameliorated cerebellar tissue apoptosis, gliosis and improved calbindin levels. In conclusion: Quercetin supplementation ameliorated cerebellar neurotoxicity induced by ZnONPs at cellular and molecular basis by different studied mechanisms.Abbreviations: NPs: Nanoparticles, ROS: reactive oxygen species, ZnONPs: Zinc oxide nanoparticles, AgNPs: silver nanoparticles, BBB: blood-brain barrier, ncRNAs: Non-coding RNAs, miRNA: Micro RNA, DMSO: Dimethyl sulfoxide, LPO: lipid peroxidation, MDA: malondialdehyde, TBA: thiobarbituric acid, TOS: total oxidative status, ELISA: enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, H2O2: hydrogen peroxide, SOD: superoxide dismutase, GR: glutathione reductase, TAC: total antioxidant capacity, IL-1: interleukin-1, TNF: tumor necrosis factor alpha, cDNA: complementary DNA, RT-QPCR: Real-time quantitative polymerase-chain reaction, ABC: Avidin biotin complex technique, DAB: 3', 3-diaminobenzidine, SPSS: Statistical Package for Social Sciences, ANOVA: One way analysis of variance, Tukey's HSD: Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference, GFAP: glial fiberillar acitic protein, iNOS: Inducible nitric oxide synthase, NO: nitric oxide, HO-1: heme oxygenase-1, Nrf2: nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2, NF-B: nuclear factor-B, SCI: spinal cord injury, CB: Calbindin.

Reyna-Luna J, Soriano-Agueda L, Vera CJ, Franco-Pérez M. Insights into the coordination chemistry of antineoplastic doxorubicin with 3d-transition metal ions Zn 2+, Cu 2+, and VO 2+: a study using well-calibrated thermodynamic cycles and chemical interaction quantum chemistry models. J Comput Aided Mol Des 2023:10.1007/s10822-023-00506-4.

Abstract
We present a computational strategy based on thermodynamic cycles to predict and describe the chemical equilibrium between the 3d-transition metal ions Zn2+, Cu2+, and VO2+ and the widely used antineoplastic drug doxorubicin. Our method involves benchmarking a theoretical protocol to compute gas-phase quantities using DLPNO Coupled-Cluster calculations as reference, followed by estimating solvation contributions to the reaction Gibbs free energies using both explicit partial (micro)solvation steps for charged solutes and neutral coordination complexes, as well as a continuum solvation procedure for all solutes involved in the complexation process. We rationalized the stability of these doxorubicin-metal complexes by inspecting quantities obtained from the topology of their electron densities, particularly the bond critical points and non-covalent interaction index. Our approach allowed us to identify representative species in solution phase, infer the most likely complexation process for each case, and identify key intramolecular interactions involved in the stability of these compounds. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study reporting thermodynamic constants for the complexation of doxorubicin with transition metal ions. Unlike other methods, our procedure is computationally affordable for medium-sized systems and provides valuable insights even with limited experimental data. Furthermore, it can be extended to describe the complexation process between 3d-transition metal ions and other bioactive ligands.

Abstract
In the last few years, the progress made in the field of nanotechnology has allowed researchers to develop and synthesize nanosized materials with unique physicochemical characteristics, suitable for various biomedical applications. Amongst these nanomaterials, metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) have gained increasing interest due to their excellent properties, which to a great extent differ from their bulk counterpart. However, despite such positive advantages, a substantial body of literature reports on their cytotoxic effects, which are directly correlated to the nanoparticles' physicochemical properties, therefore, better control over the synthetic parameters will not only lead to favorable surface characteristics but may also increase biocompatibility and consequently lower cytotoxicity. Taking into consideration the enormous biomedical potential of MONPs, the present review will discuss the most recent developments in this field referring mainly to synthesis methods, physical and chemical characterization and biological effects, including the pro-regenerative and antitumor potentials as well as antibacterial activity. Moreover, the last section of the review will tackle the pressing issue of the toxic effects of MONPs on various tissues/organs and cell lines.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop a multifunctional orthodontic adhesive (QDA) using ZnO quantum-dots (ZnQDs) as modifier and investigate the antibacterial capability, fluorescence property as well as biocompatibility and bonding property. METHODS ZnQDs were synthesized using sol-gel method. XPS, XRD, FT-IR, HRTEM, SAED, DLS and spectrofluorimetry were used to characterize ZnQDs. ZnQDs were incorporated into Transbond XT adhesive paste with 20 %, 30 %, 40 % mass fraction, respectively, to form the multifunctional adhesives (QDAs). Antibacterial capability was evaluated with MTT kit, CFU count and Live/Dead Bacterial Staining Kit. Ultraviolet photography and spectrofluorimetry were used to confirm the fluorescence property of QDAs. Biocompatibility assay was performed on gingival fibroblasts and subcutaneous tissue of rats. Softening in solvent rate, shear bond strength and degree of conversion (DC) were measured. RESULTS The synthesized ZnQDs presented excellent crystallinity and fluorescence properties. MTT assay, CFU count and CLSM analysis indicated that QDAs had significant antibacterial activity compared with Transbond XT adhesive paste. CCK-8 assay and Live/Dead cell staining analysis denied the cytotoxicity of QDAs and histological analysis proved that QDAs all had no inflammatory irritation to subcutaneous tissue. Softening in solvent, shear bond strength and DC evaluations indicated that 20 % mixing ratio of ZnQDs could enhance the resistance to degradation without influencing the bond strength and DC. Ultraviolet photography and spectrofluorimetry analysis proved the fluorescence capability of QDAs. SIGNIFICANCE ZnQDs can impart antibacterial and fluorescence properties to orthodontic adhesives without affecting biocompatibility and bonding performance. QDAs can be multifunctional orthodontic adhesives to reduce bacterial adhesion around brackets and help orthodontists remove residual adhesives precisely when needed.

Abstract
Extensive research in nanotechnology has been conducted to investigate new behaviours and properties of materials with nanoscale dimensions. ZnO NPs owing to their distinct physical and chemical properties have gained considerable importance and are hence investigated to a detailed degree for exploitation of these properties. This communication, at the outset, elaborates the various chemical methods of preparation of ZnO NPs, viz., the mechanochemical process, controlled precipitation, sol-gel method, vapour transport method, solvothermal and hydrothermal methods, and methods using emulsion and micro-emulsion environments. The paper further describes the green methods employing the use of plant extracts, in particular, for the synthesis of ZnO NPs. The modifications of ZnO with organic (carboxylic acid, silanes) and inorganic (metal oxides) compounds and polymer matrices have then been described. The multitudinous applications of ZnO NPs across a variety of fields such as the rubber industry, pharmaceutical industry, cosmetics, textile industry, opto-electronics and agriculture have been presented. Elaborative narratives on the photocatalytic and a variety of biomedical applications of ZnO have also been included. The ecotoxic impacts of ZnO NPs have additionally been briefly highlighted. Finally, efforts have been made to examine the current challenges and future scope of the synthetic modes and applications of ZnO NPs.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have exhibited excellent anti-tumor, the present study aimed to elucidate the underlying mechanism of ZnO NPs induced apoptosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells by regulating mitochondrial division. THP-1 cells, an AML cell line, were first incubated with different concentrations ZnO NPs for 24 h. Next, the expression of Drp-1, Bcl-2, Bax mRNA and protein was detected, and the effects of ZnO NPs on the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm), apoptosis and ATP generation in THP-1 cells were measured. Moreover, the effect of Drp-1 inhibitor Mdivi-1 and ZnO NPs on THP-1 cells was also detected. The results showed that the THP-1 cells survival rate decreased with the increment of ZnO NPs concentration and incubation time in a dose- and time-dependent manner. ZnO NPs can reduce the cell Δψm and ATP levels, induce the ROS production, and increase the levels of mitochondrial division and apoptosis. In contrast, the apoptotic level was significantly reduced after intervention of Drp-1 inhibitor, suggesting that ZnO NPs can induce the apoptosis of THP-1 cells by regulating mitochondrial division. Overall, ZnO NPs may provide a new basis and idea in treating human acute myeloid leukemia in clinical practice. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
The paper reports on a new mathematical model, starting with the original Hill equation which is derived to describe cell viability (V) while testing nanomaterials (NMs). Key information on the sample's morphology, such as mean size (⟨s⟩) and size dispersity (σ) is included in the new model via the lognormal distribution function. The new Hill-inspired equation is successfully used to fit MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) data from assays performed with the HepG2 cell line challenged by fluorine-containing graphene quantum dots (F:GQDs) under light (400-700 nm wavelength) and dark conditions. The extracted "biological polydispersity" (light: ⟨sMTT⟩=1.77±0.02 nm and σMTT=0.21±0.02); dark: ⟨sMTT⟩=1.87±0.02 nm and σMTT=0.22±0.01) is compared with the "morphological polydispersity" (⟨sTEM⟩=1.98±0.06 nm and σTEM=0.19±0.03), the latter obtained from TEM (transmission electron microscopy). The fitted data are then used to simulate a series of V responses. Two aspects are emphasized in the simulations: (i) fixing σ, one simulates V versus ⟨s⟩ and (ii) fixing ⟨s⟩, one simulates V versus σ. Trends observed in the simulations are supported by a phenomenological model picture describing the monotonic reduction in V as ⟨s⟩ increases (V~pa/(s)p-a; p and a are fitting parameters) and accounting for two opposite trends of V versus σ: under light (V~σ) and under dark (V~1/σ).

Abstract
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide due to elevated intraocular pressure, and filtering surgery can efficiently control intraocular pressure of glaucoma patients. However, failure of filtering surgery commonly results from scarring formation at the surgical site, in which fibroblast proliferation plays an essential role in the scarring process. Our previous study has demonstrated that zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles could efficiently inhibit human tenon fibroblasts (HTFs) proliferation. The present study aimed to explore the underlying mechanism involved in oxidative stress and autophagy signaling in zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles-induced inhibition of HTFs proliferation. In this study, we investigated the effect of ZnO nanoparticles on HTFs proliferation, mitochondrial function, ATP production and nuclear morphology. Moreover, we also explored the interactions between ZnO nanoparticles and HTFs, investigated the influence of ZnO nanoparticles on the autophagosome formation, the expression of autophagy-related 5 (Atg5), Atg12 and Becn1 (Beclin 1), and the level of light chain 3 (LC3). The results suggested that ZnO nanoparticles can efficiently inhibit HTFs proliferation, disrupt the mitochondrial function, attenuate the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) generation, and damage the nuclear morphology of HTFs. Exposure of HTFs to ZnO nanoparticles can also induce the shifted peak, elevate the expression of Atg5, Atg12 and Becn1, enhance the autophagosome formation, and promote the LC3 expression, and thus activate autophagy signaling. Overall, ZnO nanoparticles can apparently trigger oxidative stress and activate autophagy signaling in HTFs, and thus inhibit HTFs proliferation and mediate HTFs apoptosis.

Development of photoresponsive zinc oxide nanoparticle - encapsulated lignin functionalized with 2-[(E)-(2-hydroxy naphthalen-1-yl) diazenyl] benzoic acid: A promising photoactive agent for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2021; 36:102479. [PMID: 34375774 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2021.102479] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2021] [Revised: 07/29/2021] [Accepted: 08/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND By coalescing nanotechnology with photochemistry and microbiology, a new type of photoactive antimicrobial agent based on zinc oxide nanoparticles incorporated into biomacromolecular lignin was formulated, which possesses a wide-spectrum antimicrobial activity, providing effects in the field of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy. METHODS The biomacromolecule lignin was functionally modified with 2-[(E)-(2-hydroxy naphthalen-1-yl) diazenyl] benzoic acid by Steglich esterification, and loaded with zinc oxide nanoparticles. The products were characterized by UV-Visible, FTIR, and NMR spectroscopic techniques, and by SEM, TEM, and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The photoresponsive behavior of the dye, functionally modified lignin-dye ester and its nanoparticle dispersed product was investigated. The photoinduced antibacterial and antifungal effects of zinc oxide nanoparticle encapsulated functionally modified lignin were explicated in detail. RESULTS The photostabilization property of the chromophoric system was found to be enhanced when attached to lignin, and was further improved by the encapsulation of photoactive zinc oxide nanoparticles. The detailed studies on the photoinduced antibacterial and antifungal property revealed that upon light irradiation the antibacterial and antifungal efficacies of the test system got magnified. CONCLUSIONS Incorporation of photoactive zinc oxide nanoparticles into the functionalized macromolecular system could make important changes in their photoresponsive abilities such as enhanced light absorption behavior and photostabilization properties enriched with photoinduced antimicrobial efficacy, which rendered the functionally modified system a potential photoinduced antimicrobial agent. They may find use in various biomedical applications especially in antimicrobial photodynamic therapy.

Investigation of Adsorption Behavior of Anticancer Drug on Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles: A Solid State NMR and Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) Analysis. J Pharm Sci 2021; 110:3726-3734. [PMID: 34363840 DOI: 10.1016/j.xphs.2021.08.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2021] [Revised: 07/17/2021] [Accepted: 08/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
The present study aims to comprehend the adsorption behavior of a set of anticancer drugs namely 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), doxorubicin and daunorubicin on ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) proposed as drug delivery systems employing solid state (ss) NMR, FTIR and Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) analysis. FTIR and 1H MAS ssNMR data recorded for bare ZnO nanoparticle confirmed the presence of adsorbed -OH groups on the surface. 13C CP-MAS NMR spectra recorded for free and ZnO surface adsorbed drug samples exhibited considerable line broadening and chemical shift changes that complemented our earlier report on UV-DRS and XRD data of surface adsorption in case of 5-FU. Moreover, a remarkable enhancement of 13C signal intensity in case of loaded 5-FU was observed. This clearly indicated rigid nature of the drug on the surface allowing efficient transfer of 1H polarization from the hetero nitrogen of 5-FU to ZnO to form surface hydroxyl (-OH) groups and the same has been observed in the quantum chemical calculations. To further analyze the motional dynamics of the surface adsorbed 5-FU, longitudinal relaxation times (T1) were quantified employing Torchia method that revealed significant enhancement of 13C relaxation rate of adsorbed 5-FU. The enhanced rate suggested an effective role of quadrupolar contribution from 67Zn to the 13C relaxation mechanism of ZnO_5-FU. The heterogeneous rate constant (khet), average free energy of activation (∆G≠) and point of zero charge (PZC) measured for free and drug loaded ZnO NPs samples using CV further support the SS-NMR results.

Abstract
Despite the numerous available treatments for cancer, many patients succumb to side effects and reoccurrence. Zinc oxide (ZnO) quantum dots (QDs) are inexpensive inorganic nanomaterials with potential applications in photodynamic therapy. To verify the photoluminescence of ZnO QDs and determine their inhibitory effect on tumors, we synthesized and characterized ZnO QDs modified with polyvinylpyrrolidone. The photoluminescent properties and reactive oxygen species levels of these ZnO/PVP QDs were also measured. Finally, in vitro and in vivo experiments were performed to test their photodynamic therapeutic effects in SW480 cancer cells and female nude mice. Our results indicate that the ZnO QDs had good photoluminescence and exerted an obvious inhibitory effect on SW480 tumor cells. These findings illustrate the potential applications of ZnO QDs in the fields of photoluminescence and photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Although thousands of different nanoparticles (NPs) have been identified and synthesized to date, well-defined, consistent guidelines to control their exposure and evaluate their potential toxicity have yet to be fully established. As potential applications of nanotechnology in numerous fields multiply, there is an increased awareness of the issue of nanomaterials' toxicity among scientists and producers managing them. An updated inventory of customer products containing NPs estimates that they currently number over 5.000; ten years ago, they were one fifth of this. More often than not, products bear no information regarding the presence of NPs in the indicated list of ingredients or components. Consumers are therefore largely unaware of the extent to which nanomaterials have entered our lives, let alone their potential risks. Moreover, the lack of certainties with regard to the safe use of NPs is curbing their applications in the biomedical field, especially in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, where they are performing outstandingly but are not yet being exploited as much as they could. The production of radical oxygen species is a predominant mechanism leading to metal NPs-driven carcinogenesis. The release of particularly reactive metal ions capable of crossing cell membranes has also been implicated in NPs toxicity. In this review we discuss the origin, behavior and biological toxicity of different metal NPs with the aim of rationalizing related health hazards and calling attention to toxicological concerns involved in their increasingly widespread use.

Abstract
Synthetic materials commonly used in the packaging industry generate a considerable amount of waste each year. Chitosan is a promising feedstock for the production of functional biomaterials. From a biological point of view, chitosan is very attractive for food packaging. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the antibacterial activity of a set of chitosan-metal oxide films and different chitosan-modified graphene (oxide) films against two foodborne pathogens: Campylobacter jejuni ATCC 33560 and Listeria monocytogenes 19115. Moreover, we wanted to check whether the incorporation of antimicrobial constituents such as TiO2, ZnO, Fe2O3, Ag, and graphene oxide (GO) into the polymer matrices can improve the antibacterial properties of these nanocomposite films. Finally, this research helps elucidate the interactions of these materials with eukaryotic cells. All chitosan-metal oxide films and chitosan-modified graphene (oxide) films displayed improved antibacterial (C. jejuni ATCC 33560 and L. monocytogenes 19115) properties compared to native chitosan films. The CS-ZnO films had excellent antibacterial activity towards L. monocytogenes (90% growth inhibition). Moreover, graphene-based chitosan films caused high inhibition of both tested strains. Chitosan films with graphene (GO, GOP, GOP-HMDS, rGO, GO-HMDS, rGOP), titanium dioxide (CS-TiO2 20:1a, CS-TiO2 20:1b, CS-TiO2 2:1, CS-TiO2 1:1a, CS-TiO2 1:1b) and zinc oxide (CS-ZnO 20:1a, CS-ZnO 20:1b) may be considered as a safe, non-cytotoxic packaging materials in the future.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated the toxic impacts of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZO-NPs) on male reproductive cells. The effect of quercetin (QCT) on ZO-NPs-induced mouse Sertoli cell (TM4 cell line) toxicity and its underlying mechanisms were investigated in this study. The TM4 cells were exposed to ZO-NPs or QCT in different groups for 24 hr. The TM4 cells pre-treated with 3MA (3-Methyladenine, an autophagy inhibitor) to evaluate the autophagy role of QCT and ZO-NPs in the TM4 cells. ZO-NPs significantly reduced the viability percentage of the TM4 cells. The apoptosis percentage and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio of the ZO-NPs group were significantly increased, while the expression of autophagy-related genes was considerably downregulated. ZO-NPs also induced oxidative stress in the TM4 cells through increasing malondialdehyde contents and reactive oxygen species levels (ROS) and reducing antioxidant factors including superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione and glutathione peroxidase. In QCT + ZO-NPs group, these events were considerably reversed. 3MA could significantly decrease the cell viability of TM4 cells exposed to the QCT and ZO-NPs in comparison with the untreated 3MA groups. According to these results, the protective effects of QCT on ZO-NPs-exposed TM4 cells are related to inducing autophagy, prevention apoptosis and suppressing oxidative stress.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was aimed to analyze the cytotoxicity of biogenic zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) in human cervical epithelial cancer HeLa. METHODS The ZnO NPs was synthesized from the culture filtrated of Aspergillus terreus, and examined by UV-spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis. The cytotoxicity of synthesized ZnO NPs was analyzed by the MTT assay, and the expression of apoptotic proteins was examined by Western blot analyses. KEY FINDINGS The ZnO NPs exhibited concentration-dependent cytotoxicity on HeLa cells and induced the apoptosis as evidenced by reduced superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) levels, and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and diminished mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was noticed in ZnO NPs treated HeLa cells. Western blot analyses explored that the Bcl-2 expression was significantly downregulated, whereas, the expression of p53, Bax, Caspase-3, Caspase-9 and Cytochrome-c were significantly upregulated in ZnO NPs treated cells. CONCLUSION Consequently, the mycosynthesized ZnO NPs induces apoptosis in HeLa cells by persuading oxidative damage and modulating the apoptotic proteins. Therefore, A. terreus synthesized ZnO NPs could be used as an effective chemotherapeutic agent for cervical cancer treatment.

Abstract
In this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) were successfully fabricated through the harnessing of metabolites present in the cell filtrate of a newly isolated and identified microalga Arthrospira platensis (Class: Cyanophyceae). The formed ZnO-NPs were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Data showed the efficacy of cyanobacterial metabolites in fabricating spherical, crystallographic ZnO-NPs with a size ≈30.0 to 55.0 nm at a wavelength of 370 nm. Moreover, FT-IR analysis showed varied absorption peaks related to nanoparticle formation. XPS analysis confirms the presence of Zn(II)O at different varied bending energies. Data analyses exhibit that the activities of biosynthesized ZnO-NPs were dose-dependent. Their application as an antimicrobial agent was examined and formed clear zones, 24.1 ± 0.3, 21.1 ± 0.06, 19.1 ± 0.3, 19.9 ± 0.1, and 21.6 ± 0.6 mm, at 200 ppm against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans, respectively, and these activities were reduced as the NPs concentration decreased. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were determined as 50 ppm for S. aureus, 25 ppm for P. aeruginosa, and 12.5 ppm for B. subtilis, E. coli, and C. albicans. More interestingly, ZnO-NPs exhibit high in vitro cytotoxic efficacy against cancerous (Caco-2) (IC50 = 9.95 ppm) as compared with normal (WI38) cell line (IC50 = 53.34 ppm).

Abstract
In recent years, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) emerged as an excellent candidate in the field of optical, electrical, food packaging and particularly in biomedical research. ZnONPs show cancer cell specific toxicity via the pH-dependent (low pH) dissolution into Zn2+ ions, which generate reactive oxygen species and induce cytotoxicity in cancer cells. Further, ZnONPs have also been used as an effective carrier for the targeted delivery of several anticancer drugs into tumor cells. The increasing focus on ZnONPs resulted in the development of various synthesis approaches including chemical, pHysical, and green or biological for the manufacturing of ZnONPs. In this article, at first we have discussed the various synthesis methods of ZnONPs and secondly its biomedical applications. We have extensively reviewed the anticancer mechanism of ZnONPs on different types of cancers considering its size, shape and surface charge dependent cytotoxicity. Photoirradiation with UV light or NIR laser further increase its anticancer activity via synergistic chemo-photodynamic effect. The drug delivery applications of ZnONPs with special emphasis on drug loading mechanism, stimuli-responsive controlled release and therapeutic effects have also been discussed in this review. Finally, its side effects to vital body organs with mechanism via different exposure routes, the future direction of the ZnONPs research and application are also discussed.

Abstract
Leukemia is a liquid tumor caused by a hematopoietic stem cell malignant clone, which seriously affects the normal function of the hematopoietic system. Conventional drugs have poor therapeutic effects due to their poor specificity and stability. With the development of nanotechnology, nonviral nanoparticles bring hope for the efficient treatment of leukemia. Nanoparticles are easily modified. They can be designed to target lesion sites and control drug release. Thereby, nanoparticles can improve the effects of drugs and reduce side effects. This review mainly focuses on and summarizes the current research progress of nanoparticles to deliver different leukemia therapeutic drugs, as to demonstrate the potential of nanoparticles in leukemia treatment.

Abstract
Chitosan, derived from chitin, is a biopolymer consisting of arbitrarily distributed β-(1-4)-linked D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine that exhibits outstanding properties- biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity, antibacterial activity, the capacity to form films, and chelating of metal ions. Most of these peculiar properties are attributed to the presence of free protonable amino groups along the chitosan backbone, which also gives it solubility in acidic conditions. Moreover, this biopolymer can also be physically modified, thereby presenting a variety of forms to be developed. Consequently, this polysaccharide is used in various fields, such as tissue engineering, drug delivery systems, and cancer treatment. In this sense, this review aims to gather the state-of-the-art concerning this polysaccharide when used as a biomaterial, providing information about its characteristics, chemical modifications, and applications. We present the most relevant and new information about this polysaccharide-based biomaterial's applications in distinct fields and also the ability of chitosan and its various derivatives to selectively permeate through the cancer cell membranes and exhibit anticancer activity, and the possibility of adding several therapeutic metal ions as a strategy to improve the therapeutic potential of this polymer.

Abstract
The main objective of this work was to assess the cytotoxic activity of Au/Pt/ZnO nanoparticles synthesized using Arctium lappa extract against leukemia. The Au/Pt/ZnO nanoparticles obtained as a result of biological synthesis were characterized by UV-Vis, Scanning (SEM) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The applied methods showed that the size of nanoparticles ranged from 10 to 40 nm. This work also assessed the cytotoxicity of Au/Pt/ZnO nanoparticles by means of MTT assay, and analyzed apoptosis as well as the influence of the cultivation time and concentration of Au/Pt/ZnO nanoparticles on the percentage of dead cells. The studies showed that the percentage of dead leukemia cells increased with the cultivation time and concentration of Au/Pt/ZnO nanoparticles. There was observed an increase in the percentage of cells in the G2/M phase, which suggests the stoppage of G2/M leading to cell death. The cytotoxicity of Au/Pt/ZnO nanoparticles determined by means of the MTT test indicated that the viability of leukemia cells practically disappeared when the concentration of the tested nanoparticles was 10 mol.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 721:137625.

Abstract
The present study investigates the potential cyto-genotoxic effects of model zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on human lymphocytes, with and/or without humic acids (HAs). Two types of HAs were studied, a natural well-characterized leonardite HA (LHA) and its synthetic-model, a humic-acid-like-polycondensate (HALP). The Cytokinesis Block Micronucleus (CBMN) assay was applied in cell cultures treated with different concentrations of ZnO NPs (0.5, 5, 10, 20 μg mL-1) and under different concentrations of either HALP or LHA (ZnO NPs-HALP and ZnO NPs-LHA, at concentrations of 0.5-0.8, 5-8, 10-16, 20-32 and 0.5-2, 5-20, 10-40, 20-80 μg mL-1, respectively). According to the results, ZnO NPs lacked genotoxicity but demonstrated cytotoxic potential. Binary mixtures of ZnO NPs-HAs (ZnO NPs-HALP or ZnO NPs-LHA) showed negligible alterations of micronuclei (MN) formation in challenged cells, with cytotoxic effects revealed only in case of cells treated with ZnO NPs-LHA at the concentration 5-20 μg mL-1. Furthermore, no genotoxic phenomena were exerted neither by the ZnO NPs nor from their mixtures with HAs. These findings indicate [i] the cytotoxic activity of used ZnO NPs on human lymphocytes, and [ii] reveal the protective role of HAs against ZnO NPs mediated cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Eucalyptus globules belonging to the Myrtaceae family was explored for the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles and for biological applications. The aqueous extract of the synthesized zinc nanoparticles (ZnNPs) was characterized using UV-visible spectrophotometer, FTIR, SEM and TEM. The aqueous broth was observed to be an efficient reducing agent, leading to the rapid formation of ZnNPs of varied shapes with sizes ranging between 52–70 nm. In addition, antifungal activity of the biosynthesized ZnNPs was evaluated against major phytopathogens of apple orchards. At 100 ppm of ZnNPs, the fungal growth inhibition rate was found to be 76.7% for Alternaria mali, followed by 65.4 and 55.2% inhibition rate for Botryosphaeria dothidea and Diplodia seriata, respectively. The microscopic observations of the treated fungal plates revealed that ZnNPs damages the topography of the fungal hyphal layers leading to a reduced contraction of hyphae. This considerable fungicidal property of ZnNPs against phytopathogenic fungi can have a tremendous impact on exploitation of ZnNPs for fungal pest management and ensure protection in fruit crops.

Abstract
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world and trabeculectomy remains still the most commonly performed filtration surgery. Failure of trabeculectomy is due to the formation of scarring, which is associated with the increased fibroblast proliferation, activation, and collagen deposition at the site of the drainage channel with subconjunctival fibrosis. Our previous study has revealed that zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles could efficiently decrease the expressions of TGF-β1 and inhibit fibroblast-mediated collagen lattice contraction. However, the mechanism underlying ZnO nanoparticle-induced fibroblast apoptosis is still unclear. In the present study, we investigated the effect of ZnO nanoparticles on the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) in human Tenon fibroblasts (HTFs). Moreover, we also explored the influence of ZnO nanoparticles on the expression of Caspase-3, Caspase-9, apoptotic protease-activating factor-1 (Apaf-1), fibroblast-specific protein-1 (FSP-1), collagen III, and E-cadherin. The results indicated that ZnO nanoparticles markedly inhibit HTFs viability and decrease the Δψm in a concentration-dependent pattern. Exposure of HTFs to ZnO nanoparticles could also induce the elevated Caspase-3, Caspase-9, and Apaf-1 expression, decrease the levels of FSP-1, collagen III, and E-cadherin expression, leading to HTFs apoptosis. Our results suggested that elevated ROS and activated Caspase signaling play a fundamental role in ZnO nanoparticle-induced HTFs apoptosis.

Abstract
Due to the ability to induce the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under light irradiation, ZnO nanoparticles show great potential in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Photo-triggered ROS production by ZnO nanoparticles and the resulting phototoxicity are efficient in killing cancer cells. This review highlights the recent exciting progress on the nanoscale ZnO-based photosensitizers (PSs) for PDT. Both the semplice ZnO nanoparticles as the PSs and the various chemicals (organic PS, dopant, metal and chemotherapeutic drugs) modified ZnO nanoparticles as the PSs show good ROS generation efficiency. The productive rate of ROS, the wavelength of exciting lights, and the therapeutic effect can be altered by doping different chemicals into ZnO nanoparticles at will. Additionally, we give some outlook on the design and functionalization of next-generation ZnO nanoparticles for more effective anti-cancer applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant and incurable B cell tumor. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have been widely used in biomedical fields including anti-bacterial and anti-tumor. However, the influence of ZnO NPs on MM cells is still unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of ZnO NPs on MM cell (a human myeloma-derived RPMI8226 cell line) death in vitro and the underlying mechanism. METHODS The morphology of ZnO NPs was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the inhibitory and apoptotic effect of ZnO NPs on human MM cells was monitored by a CCK-8 method and an Annexin V-FITC/PI assay. Meanwhile, the morphological change in the cells after exposure to ZnO NPs was observed by a light field microscope. Moreover, the effects of ZnO NPs on the ATP level, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and apoptosis were separately explored by the DCFH-DA fluorescent probe, flow cytometry, and ATP bioluminescence assay. Moreover, the expression of cytochrome C (Cyt-C), Apaf-1, Caspase-9 and Caspase-3 at mRNA and protein levels was further determined by using quantitative PCR (Q-PCR) and western blotting. In the present study, the human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were used as normal control samples for the relevant experiment. RESULTS The results indicated that ZnO NPs could significantly inhibit human MM cell proliferation and cell death in a time- and dose-dependent manner in vitro, and this outcome can be confirmed by cell morphology and apoptosis assay. Meanwhile, the results also showed that ZnO NPs could effectively increase ROS production and decrease ATP levels in human MM cells. ZnO NPs could also significantly elevate the expression of Cyt-C, Apaf-1, Caspase-9 and Caspase-3 at mRNA and protein levels, leading to cell death. By contrast, ZnO NPs showed little cytotoxic influence on PBMCs. CONCLUSION ZnO NPs can significantly induce human MM cell death in a time- and dose-dependent manner in vitro, decrease the ATP production and enhance the ROS generation. ZnO NPs can also increase Cyt-C, Apaf-1, Caspase-9 and Caspase-3 expression at mRNA and protein levels in human MM cells, and initiate MM cell apoptosis, indicating that Cyt-C, Apaf-1, Caspase-9 and Caspase-3 play crucial roles in ZnO NPs-induced, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in human MM cells. Overall, ZnO NPs may be a potential agent in treating human multiple myeloma in clinical practice.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia is a myeloproliferative disease where cells of myeloid linage display a t(9;22) chromosomal translocation leading to the formation of the BCR/ABL fusion gene and the continuous activation of tyrosine kinases. This malignancy has a peak incidence at 45 to 85 years, accounting for 15% of all leukemias in adults. Controlling the activity of tyrosine kinase became the main strategy in chronic myeloid leukemia treatment, with imatinib being placed at the forefront of current treatment protocols. New approaches in future anticancer therapy are emerging with nanomedicine being gradually implemented. Setting through a thorough survey of published literature, this review discusses the use of inorganic nanoparticles in chronic myeloid leukemia therapy. After an introduction on the basics of chronic myeloid leukemia, a description of the current treatment modalities of chronic myeloid leukemia and drug-resistance mechanisms is presented. This is followed by a general view on the applications of nanostrategies in medicine and then a detailed breakdown of inorganic nanocarriers and their uses in chronic myeloid leukemia treatment.

Abstract
Glioblastoma Multiform (GBM) known as the most common CNS malignant tumour. Therapy for GBM includes maximum tumour resection and chemotherapy. Recent advances have emphasized the use of nanoparticles, such as zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs). Conjugated ZnO NPs with folic acid (FA) easily pass through cell membrane. In the present study, ZnO NPs-FA applied to GBM U87MG cell line. ZnO NPs-FA synthesized according to the sol-gel method. The GBM U87MG and astrocytes 1321N1 cell lines cultured and divided into control, sham and ZnO NPs-FA groups. MTT assay used for the cell viability, and ROS assay and flow cytometry exploited. The size of nanoparticles was ≤20 nm using TEM and FTIR. After 12 hours, the viability for U87MG cells showed a significant decrease at 1.25 and 2.5 mg/ml concentrations. However, no such results obtained for astrocytes. According to the results, the ROS assay caused a significant increase in GBM cells at the mentioned concentration. It was concluded that dose-dependent conjugated NPs could play a therapeutic role in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Metallic nanoparticles were extensively examined to explore their impending exploitations over pharmaceutical purposes. Current work attempting to explores the cytotoxic capacity of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles besides to human melanoma cell line (A375). Viability of cells was resoluted, and the promising cytotoxicity potential was exhibited by zinc oxide nanoparticles. Cellular adhesion and morphology was determined by propidium iodide assay. Characterization studies like UV-Spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) investigation, transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) Spec, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) examination confirms the accessibility of measurement, form and volume. The mRNA expression of apoptotic genes like caspase 3, 8 and 9 was elevated followed by the exposure to ZnO nanoparticles and it was narrowly proved that ZnO nanoparticles stimulates the apoptotic cell necrosis at the transcriptional stage. Cardiospermum halicacabum down regulated the apoptotic gene expressions. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation was augmented at concentration reliant mode, that changed normalize numerous indicator pathways and manipulate the kinetic cellular actions. ZnO nanoparticle synthesized Cardiospermum halicacabum might persuades programmed cell necrosis via elevated ROS levels in cells. CH-ZnONPs was further stimulates the markers of apoptosis and aggravates necrosis of cancerous cells, toxicity to cells, and accretion of ROS. With sourced on above whole data, this might accomplished that CH-ZnONPs amalgamated Cardiospermum halicacabum appreciably possessed a toxicity to human melanoma cells (A375) via provoking the apoptotic cell necrosis, entailed feasible efficacy of CH-ZnONPs besides malignancy management.

Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles have been studied as metal-based drugs that may be used for biomedical applications due to the fact of their biocompatibility. Their physicochemical properties, which depend on synthesis techniques involving physical, chemical, biological, and microfluidic reactor methods affect biological activity in vitro and in vivo. Advanced tool-based physicochemical characterization is required to identify the biological and toxicological effects of ZnO nanoparticles. These nanoparticles have variable morphologies and can be molded into three-dimensional structures to enhance their performance. Zinc oxide nanoparticles have shown therapeutic activity against cancer, diabetes, microbial infection, and inflammation. They have also shown the potential to aid in wound healing and can be used for imaging tools and sensors. In this review, we discuss the synthesis techniques, physicochemical characteristics, evaluation tools, techniques used to generate three-dimensional structures, and the various biomedical applications of ZnO nanoparticles.

Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is an adaptable material that has distinctive properties, such as high-sensitivity, large specific area, non-toxicity, good compatibility and a high isoelectric point, which favours it to be considered with a few exceptions. It is the most desirable group of nanostructure as far as both structure and properties. The unique and tuneable properties of nanostructured ZnO shows excellent stability in chemically as well as thermally stable n-type semiconducting material with wide applications such as in luminescent material, supercapacitors, battery, solar cells, photocatalysis, biosensors, biomedical and biological applications in the form of bulk crystal, thin film and pellets. The nanosized materials exhibit higher dissolution rates as well as higher solubility when compared to the bulk materials. This review significantly focused on the current improvement in ZnO-based nanomaterials/composites/doped materials for the application in the field of energy storage and conversion devices and biological applications. Special deliberation has been paid on supercapacitors, Li-ion batteries, dye-sensitized solar cells, photocatalysis, biosensors, biomedical and biological applications. Finally, the benefits of ZnO-based materials for the utilizations in the field of energy and biological sciences are moreover consistently analysed.
