Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is a life-threatening disease of pregnancy and a prominent cause of neonatal and maternal mortality and morbidity. PE affects approximately 5-10% of pregnancies worldwide, posing significant risks to perinatal and maternal health. It is characterized by a variety of interconnected pathological cascades contributing to the stimulation of intravascular inflammation, oxidative stress (OS), endothelial cell activation, and syncytiotrophoblast stress that converge on a common pathway, ultimately resulting in disease progression. The present study was designed and executed to review the existing scientific literature, specifically focusing on the etiology (gestational diabetes mellitus and maternal obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, maternal infection, periodontal disease, altered microbiome, and genetics), clinical presentations (hypertension, blood disorders, proteinuria, hepatic dysfunction, renal dysfunction, pulmonary edema, cardiac dysfunction, fetal growth restrictions, and eclampsia), therapeutic clinical biomarkers (creatinine, albuminuria, and cystatin C) along with their associations and mechanisms in PE. In addition, this study provides insights into the potential of nanomedicines for targeting these mechanisms for PE management and treatment. Inflammation, OS, proteinuria, and an altered microbiome are prominent biomarkers associated with progression and PE-related pathogenesis. Understanding the molecular mechanisms, exploring suitable markers, targeted interventions, comprehensive screening, and holistic strategies are critical to decreasing the incidence of PE and promoting maternal-fetal well-being. The present study comprehensively reviewed the etiology, clinical presentations, therapeutic biomarkers, and preventive potential of nanomedicines in the treatment and management of PE.

Abstract
Abstract
Cancer is a serious public health issue and cases are rising at a high rate around the world. Altered production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes oxidative stress (OS) which plays a vital role in cancer development by disrupting signaling pathways and genomic integrity in the cellular microenvironment. In this study, we reviewed the regulation of noncoding RNAs, histone modifications, and DNA methylation which OS is involved in. These mechanisms promote cancer growth, metastasis, and resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. There is significant potential to improve patient outcomes through the development of customized medications and interventions that precisely address the role of OS in the onset and progression of cancer. Redox-modulating drugs, antioxidant-based therapies, and measures to restore regular cellular activity and OS-modulated signaling pathways are some examples of these strategies. One other hypothesis rationalizes the cancer-suppressing effect of OS, which acts as a two-edged condition that warns against the use of antioxidants for cancer treatment and management. The present study was executed to review the impact of OS on epigenetic machinery, the evolution of metastatic cancer, and how OS mediates cellular signaling. Along with, insights into the potential of targeting OS-mediated mechanisms for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is a prevalent carcinoma among males, and conventional treatment options are often limited. Cytotoxic chemotherapy, despite its drawbacks, remains a mainstay. We propose a targeted co-delivery approach using nanoscale delivery units for Oncolytic measles virus (OMV) and vincristine (VC) to enhance treatment efficacy. The HA-coated OMV + VC-loaded TCs nanoformulation is designed for targeted oncolytic activity in prostate cancer. The CD44 expression analysis in prostate cancer cell lines indicates a significantly high expression in PC3 cells. The optimization of nanoformulations using Design of Expert (DOE) is performed, and the preparation and characterization of HA-coated OMV + VC-loaded TCs nanoformulations are detailed showing average particle size 397.2 ± 0.01 nm and polydispersity index 0.122 with zeta potential 19.7 + 0.01 mV. Results demonstrate successful encapsulation efficiency with 2.4 × 106 TCID50/Ml and sustained release of OMV and VC from the nanoformulation for up to 72 h. In vitro, assays reveal potent anticancer activity at 10 ± 0.71% cell viability in PC3 cells compared to 73 ± 0.66% in HPrEC and significant morphological changes at 90 µg/ml in dose and time-dependent manner. The co-formulation showed positive cell death 49.5 ± 0.02% at 50 µg PI/ml in PBS and 54.3% cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase, 8.1% G0/G1 and 5.7% at S phase, with significant mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) at 50 µg/ml, as assessed by flow cytometry (FACS). The surface-integrating ligand approach enhances the targeted delivery of the oncolytic virus and chemotherapeutic drug, presenting a potential alternative for prostate cancer treatment and suggested that co-administering VC and OMV in a nanoformulation could improve therapeutic outcomes while reducing chemotherapeutic drug doses.

Abstract
Cancer remains a major global health concern, necessitating the development of novel therapeutic approaches. Hypoxia is a common characteristic of solid tumors that plays a critical role in tumor progression, making it a prime target for anticancer therapies. This study aimed to determine the effects of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) on human gastrointestinal cancer cells in hypoxic condition for the first time. Toxicity of CuONPs was evaluated on human colon and gastric adenocarcinoma cells and normal fibroblasts by alamarBlue assay. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to study the effects of CuONPs on genes involved in cell apoptosis. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of CuONPs in hypoxic condition, molecular docking was conducted on HIF-1α. Results revealed dose- and cell-type-dependent toxic effects of CuONPs, as a more significant (p < 0.0001) decrease in viability of LoVo cells (23 %) was observed compared to MKN-45 and HDF cells. In addition, CuONPs significantly (p < 0.0001) reduced LoVo cell viability down to 30.2 % in hypoxic condition. Gene expression analysis revealed significant (p < 0.0001) overexpression of P53 and BAX but downregulation of BCL-2 and CCND1 after treatment with CuONPs. Molecular docking indicated the preferable binding of CuONPs to the HIF-1α PAS-B domain through interaction with 15 residues with -4.8 kcal/mol binding energy. Our findings open up new possibilities for modulating HIF-1 activity and inhibiting hypoxia-induced tumor progression.

Comparative analysis of silver-nanoparticles and whey-encapsulated particles from olive leaf water extracts: Characteristics and biological activity. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0296032. [PMID: 38109310 PMCID: PMC10727426 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0296032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 12/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Nanotechnology applications have been employed to improve the stability of bioactive components and drug delivery. Natural-based extracts, especially olive leaf extracts, have been associated with the green economy not only as recycled agri-waste but also in the prevention and treatment of various non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The aim of this work was to provide a comparison between the characteristics, biological activity, and gene expression of water extract of olive leaves (OLE), green synthesized OLE silver nanoparticles (OL/Ag-NPs), and OLE whey protein capsules (OL/WPNs) of the two olive varieties, Tofahy and Shemlali. The particles were characterized by dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared. The bioactive compounds of the preparations were evaluated for their antioxidant activity and anticancer effect on HCT-116 colorectal cells as well as for their regulatory effects on cytochrome C oxidase (Cox1) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) genes. (OL/Ag-NPs) were found to be smaller than (OL/WPNs) with sizes of (37.46±1.85 and 44.86±1.62 nm) and (227.20±2.43 and 553.02±3.60 nm) for Tofahy and Shemlali, respectively. SEM showed that Shemlali (OL/Ag-NPs) had the least aggregation due to their highest Ƹ-potential (-31.76 ± 0.87 mV). The preparations were relatively nontoxic to Vero cells (IC50 = 151.94-789.25 μg/mL), while they were cytotoxic to HCT-116 colorectal cells (IC50 = 77.54-320.64 μg/mL). Shemlali and Tofahy OLE and Tofahy OL/Ag-NPs had a higher selectivity index (2.97-7.08 μg/mL) than doxorubicin (2.36 μg/mL), indicating promising anticancer activity. Moreover, Shemlali preparations regulated the expression of Cox1 (up-regulation) and TNF-α (down-regulation) on HCT-116 cells, revealing their efficiency in suppressing the expression of genes that promote cancer cell proliferation. (OL/Ag-NPs) from Tofahy and Shemlali were found to be more stable, effective, and safe than (OL/WPNs). Consequently, OL/Ag-NPs, especially Tofahy, are the best and safest nanoscale particles that can be safely used in food and pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising drug-delivering platforms for their intrinsic capability of loading and releasing different cargoes. To further extend their biomedical practices, the development of collaborative MOF systems with good biocompatibility and synergistic efficacy is essential. Herein, the near-infrared and pH dual-response collaborative zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) platform SOR@ZIF-8@PDA (SZP) was constructed, in which the chemotherapeutic drug sorafenib (SOR) was encapsulated in ZIF-8 and via polydopamine (PDA) coating on ZIF-8 by hierarchical self-assembly. PDA coating serves as a photothermal agent for PPT while reducing the toxicity of ZIF-8. SZP achieves intelligent release of therapeutic drugs by responding to the lower pH of the tumor microenvironment and thermal stimulation generated by near-infrared light irradiation. In addition, under light irradiation, SZP could effectively realize treatment of cancer cells through synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy, as evidenced by the enhanced cell apoptosis, inhibited tumor cell proliferation and migration. This collaborative MOFs system showed excellent biocompatibility and antitumor ability in vivo on a mouse HepG2 tumor model. Our results demonstrated that PDA-modified MOFs exhibited a fantastic good development prospect in biomedical applications.

Abstract
In ancient times, herbal plants were considered one of the greatest gifts from nature that human beings could receive, and about 80% of these plants have medicinal uses. In traditional medicine, Mentha arvensis, commonly known as mint, has many applications, and in the present study, the mint leaf extract has been used to synthesis nanoparticles using the mint leaf extract as a biosource for the extraction of nanoparticles. In addition to having a wide range of applications in various fields, calcium oxide (CaO) nanoparticles are also considered to be safe for human use. In order to assess the characteristics of the abstracted CaO nanoparticles, UV-visible absorption spectrophotometers, Fourier Transform Infrared spectrophotometers (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEMs), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), and X-ray Diffraction Spectrophotometers (XRDs) were used. By conducting a protein denaturation assay and nitric oxide scavenging assay, mint leaf mediated CaO nanoparticles were evaluated for their therapeutic applications. MTT assays were used to prove that the CaO nanoparticles mediated by mint leaf had anti-cancer properties. By examining the ability of mint leaf mediated CaO nanoparticles to degrade various dyes such as methyl red, methyl orange, and methylene blue, which are the most used azo dyes in textile industries resulting in water contamination, the ability of these nanoparticles to act as a photocatalytic agent was examined.

Abstract
Introduction Cervical cancer accounts for one of most common cancers among women of reproductive age. Oncolytic virotherapy has emerged as a promising immunotherapy modality but it comes with several drawbacks that include rapid clearance of virus from body due to immune-neutralization of virus in host. To overcome this, we encapsulated oncolytic Newcastle disease virus (NDV) in polymeric thiolated chitosan nanoparticles. For active targeting of virus loaded nanoformulation against CD44 (cluster of differentiation 44) receptors which are overly expressed on cancer cells, these nanoparticles were surface functionalized with hyaluronic acid (HA). Methods Using half dose of NDV (TCID50 (50% tissue culture infective dose) single dose 3 × 105), virus loaded nanoparticles were prepared by green synthesis approach through ionotropic gelation method. Zeta analysis was performed to analyse size and charge on nanoparticles. Nanoparticles (NPs) shape and size were analysed by SEM (scanning electron microscope) and TEM (transmission electron microscope) while functional group identification was done by FTIR (fourier transform infrared) and XRD (X-ray diffraction). Viral quantification was done by TCID50 and Multiplicity of infection (MOI) determination while oncolytic potential of NPs encapsulated virus was analysed by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay and cell morphology analysis. Results Zeta analysis showed that average size of NDV loaded thiolated chitosan nanoparticles surface functionalized with HA (HA-ThCs-NDV) was 290.4nm with zeta potential of 22.3 mV and 0.265 PDI (polydispersity index). SEM and TEM analysis showed smooth surface and spherical features of nanoparticles. FTIR and XRD confirmed the presence of characteristic functional groups and successful encapsulation of the virus. In vitro release showed continuous but sustained release of NDV for up to 48 hours. TCID50 for HA-ThCs-NDV nanoparticles was 2.63x 106/mL titter and the nanoformulation exhibited high oncolytic potential in cell morphology analysis and MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay as compared to naked virus, in dose dependent manner. Discussion These findings suggest that virus encapsulation in thiolated chitosan nanoparticles and surface functionalization with HA is not only helpful in achieving active targeting while masking virus from immune system but, it also gives sustained release of virus in tumor microenvironment for longer period of time that increases bioavailability of virus.

Abstract
The unique consequence of green synthesis is that the mediator plant is able to release chemicals that are efficacious as reducing as well as stabilizing agents. In this work, the fruit pulp and leaf essences of Cassia fistula have been used to manufacture silver nanoparticles through the green synthesis technique. The sculpturing of nanoparticles was accomplished by utilizing the reduction phenomenon that ensued due to the reaction between plant essences and the precursor solution. These biosynthesized silver nanoparticles were examined, where we used scanning electron microscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction techniques as means to analyze the structure, optical properties, and crystalline behavior, respectively. The absorption spectra for fruit and leaf extracts obtained from the UV-vis analyses peaked at 401 and 397 nm, and these peaks imply the appearance of optical energy gaps of 2.12 and 2.58 eV, accompanying spherical shapes of particles with diameters in the ranges of 12-20 and 50-80 nm, respectively. These silver nanoparticles together with the adopted green technique have a vast array of applications, specifically in the biomedical realm. In particular, they are being used to treat several diseases and are manifested as strong anti-tumor agents to medicate MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines in order to minimize the cell growth rate depending on their concentrations.

Abstract
Microbially synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with high stability and bioactivity have recently shown considerable promise in biomedical research and application. In this study, AgNPs prepared by Penicillium aculeatum Su1 exhibited effective antibacterial action by inhibiting
bacterial growth and destroying cellular structure. Meanwhile, their assessed increased in fold area (IFA) through the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method proved that, the AgNPs showed synergistic antibacterial effect on different bacteria when combined with antibiotics, especially for drug-resistant
P. aeruginosa (4.58∼6.36-fold) and B. subtilis (4.2-fold). Moreover, the CCK-8 assay and flow cytometric analysis were used to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of AgNPs on normal cells (HBE) and lung cancer cells (HTB-182), which confirmed that they presented higher biocompatibility
towards HBE cells when compared with silver ions, but high cytotoxicity in a dosedependent manner with an IC50 values of 35.00 μg/mL towards HTB-182 cells by raising intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, hindering cell proliferation, and ultimately leading
to cell cycle arrest and cell apoptosis. These results demonstrate that, the biosynthesized AgNPs could be a potential candidate for future therapies of infection caused by drug-resistant bacteria, as well as lung squamous cell carcinoma.
