Chen M, Wu T. Nanoparticles and neurodegeneration: Insights on multiple pathways of programmed cell death regulated by nanoparticles. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 912:168739. [PMID: 38008311 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.168739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/19/2023] [Indexed: 11/28/2023]
Abstract
Currently, nanoparticles (NPs) are extensively applied in the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). With the rapid development and increasing exposure to the public, the potential neurotoxicity associated with NDs caused by NPs has attracted the researchers' attentions but their biosafety assessments are still far behind relevant application studies. Based on recent research, this review aims to conduct a comprehensive and systematic analysis of neurotoxicity induced by NPs. The 191 studies selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria were imported into the software, and the co-citations and keywords of the included literatures were analyzed to find the breakthrough point of previous studies. According to the available studies, the routes of NPs entering into the normal and injured brain were various, and then to be distributed and accumulated in living bodies. When analyzing the adverse effects induced by NPs, we focused on multiple programmed cell deaths (PCDs), especially ferroptosis triggered by NPs and their tight connection and crosstalk that have been found playing critical roles in the pathogenesis of NDs and their underlying toxic mechanisms. The activation of multiple PCD pathways by NPs provides a scientific basis for the occurrence and development of NDs. Furthermore, the adoption of new methodologies for evaluating the biosafety of NPs would benefit the next generation risk assessment (NGRA) of NPs and their toxic interventions. This would help ensure their safe application and sustainable development in the field of medical neurobiology.

Abstract
The amyloid concept of Alzheimer's disease (AD) assumes the β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) as the main pathogenic factor, which injures neural and other brain cells, causing their malfunction and death. Although Aβ has been documented to exert its cytotoxic effect in a solitary manner, there is much evidence to claim that its toxicity can be modulated by other proteins. The list of such Aβ co-factors or interactors includes tau, APOE, transthyretin, and others. These molecules interact with the peptide and affect the ability of Aβ to form oligomers or aggregates, modulating its toxicity. Thus, the list of potential substances able to reduce the harmful effects of the peptide should include ones that can prevent the pathogenic interactions by specifically binding Aβ and/or its partners. In the present review, we discuss the data on Aβ-based complexes in AD pathogenesis and on the compounds directly targeting Aβ or the destructors of its complexes with other polypeptides.

Sleep matters: Neurodegeneration spectrum heterogeneity, combustion and friction ultrafine particles, industrial nanoparticle pollution, and sleep disorders-Denial is not an option. Front Neurol 2023; 14:1117695. [PMID: 36923490 PMCID: PMC10010440 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2023.1117695] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 02/01/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Sustained exposures to ubiquitous outdoor/indoor fine particulate matter (PM2.5), including combustion and friction ultrafine PM (UFPM) and industrial nanoparticles (NPs) starting in utero, are linked to early pediatric and young adulthood aberrant neural protein accumulation, including hyperphosphorylated tau (p-tau), beta-amyloid (Aβ1 - 42), α-synuclein (α syn) and TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43), hallmarks of Alzheimer's (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). UFPM from anthropogenic and natural sources and NPs enter the brain through the nasal/olfactory pathway, lung, gastrointestinal (GI) tract, skin, and placental barriers. On a global scale, the most important sources of outdoor UFPM are motor traffic emissions. This study focuses on the neuropathology heterogeneity and overlap of AD, PD, FTLD, and ALS in older adults, their similarities with the neuropathology of young, highly exposed urbanites, and their strong link with sleep disorders. Critical information includes how this UFPM and NPs cross all biological barriers, interact with brain soluble proteins and key organelles, and result in the oxidative, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondrial stress, neuroinflammation, DNA damage, protein aggregation and misfolding, and faulty complex protein quality control. The brain toxicity of UFPM and NPs makes them powerful candidates for early development and progression of fatal common neurodegenerative diseases, all having sleep disturbances. A detailed residential history, proximity to high-traffic roads, occupational histories, exposures to high-emission sources (i.e., factories, burning pits, forest fires, and airports), indoor PM sources (tobacco, wood burning in winter, cooking fumes, and microplastics in house dust), and consumption of industrial NPs, along with neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric histories, are critical. Environmental pollution is a ubiquitous, early, and cumulative risk factor for neurodegeneration and sleep disorders. Prevention of deadly neurological diseases associated with air pollution should be a public health priority.
