Abstract
Nickel (Ni), a ductile and hard silver-white transition metal, is commonly found in occupational environments and can harm the human body. Since it is a toxic compound, long-term Ni exposure can cause pneumonia, rhinitis, and other types of respiratory inflammatory diseases. Resveratrol (Res) is a plant antitoxin polyphenol, which also has anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. In this report, the toxicity of Ni-refining fumes on the human lung bronchial epithelial (BEAS-2B) cells, as well as the protective effects of Res were investigated in vitro, and the specific mechanism of its anti-inflammatory effect was explained. The experimental observations of this study revealed that Ni-refining fumes induce BEAS-2B cell damage, increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) content, activate NLRP3 (LRR-, NOD-, and pyrin domain-containing 3) inflammasome, and promote the secretion of the cytokine Interleukin (IL)-1β, leading to cellular inflammation and reducing cell activity. Resveratrol (20 μmol/L) activated sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) in BEAS-2B cells to increase protein and mRNA expression. SIRT1 was observed to inhibit the transcriptional activity of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB), reduced the expression of NLRP3 protein and mRNA, and inhibited NLRP3 inflammation. The level of inflammasome activation and IL-1β overexpression could reduce the inflammatory damage caused by the Ni-refining fume particles on the BEAS-2B cells and exert anti-inflammatory protective effects. In vivo experiments further confirmed that resveratrol could effectively alleviate the acute inflammatory injuries caused due to exposure to the Ni-refining fume particles in the lung tissues of the Wistar rats, and verified that resveratrol could exert its anti-inflammatory impact through the SIRT1-NF-κB-NLRP3 pathway. These results provide an important theoretical basis for developing novel protective drugs and investigating the mechanism of action for inflammatory injury in occupational populations caused by exposure to nickel and other heavy metals.

Abstract
With the exponential growth of the nanotechnology field, the global nanotechnology market is on an upward track with fast-growing jobs. Nickel (Ni)-containing nanoparticles (NPs), an important class of transition metal nanoparticles, have been extensively used in industrial and biomedical fields due to their unique nanostructural, physical, and chemical properties. Millions of people have been/are going to be exposed to Ni-containing NPs in occupational and non-occupational settings. Therefore, there are increasing concerns over the hazardous effects of Ni-containing NPs on health and the environment. The respiratory tract is a major portal of entry for Ni-containing NPs; thus, the adverse effects of Ni-containing NPs on the respiratory system, especially the lungs, have been a focus of scientific study. This review summarized previous studies, published before December 1, 2023, on cytotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic effects of Ni-containing NPs on humans, lung cells in vitro, and rodent lungs in vivo, and the potential underlying mechanisms were also included. In addition, whether these adverse effects were induced by NPs themselves or Ni ions released from the NPs was also discussed. The extra-pulmonary effects of Ni-containing NPs were briefly mentioned. This review will provide us with a comprehensive view of the pulmonary effects of Ni-containing NPs and their underlying mechanisms, which will shed light on our future studies, including the urgency and necessity to produce engineering Ni-containing NPs with controlled and reduced toxicity, and also provide the scientific basis for developing nanoparticle exposure limits and policies.

Abstract
Recently, nanotechnology is among the most promising technologies used in all areas of research. The production of metal nanoparticles using plant parts has received significant attention for its environmental friendliness and effectiveness. Therefore, we investigated the possible applications of biological synthesized nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiONPs). In this study, NiONPs were synthesized through biological method using an aqueous extract of saffron stigmas (Crocus sativus L). The structure, morphology, purity, and physicochemical properties of the obtained NPs were confirmed through Scanning/Transmission Electron Microscopy attached with Energy Dispersive Spectrum, X-ray Diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared. The spherically shaped NiONPs were found by Debye Scherer's formula to have a mean dimension of 41.19 nm. The application of NiONPs in vitro at 50, 100, and 200 μg/mL, respectively, produced a clear region of 2.0, 2.2, and 2.5 cm. Treatment of Xoo cell with NiONPs reduced the growth and biofilm formation, respectively, by 88.68% and 83.69% at 200 μg/mL. Adding 200 μg/mL NiONPs into Xoo cells produced a significant amount of ROS in comparison with the control. Bacterial apoptosis increased dramatically from 1.05% (control) to 99.80% (200 μg/mL NiONPs). When compared to the control, rice plants treated with 200 μg/mL NiONPs significantly improved growth characteristics and biomass. Interestingly, the proportion of diseased leaf area in infected plants with Xoo treated with NiONPs reduced to 22% from 74% in diseased plants. Taken together, NiONPs demonstrates its effectiveness as a promising tool as a nano-bactericide in managing bacterial infection caused by Xoo.

Host-device interactions: exposure of lung epithelial cells and fibroblasts to nickel, titanium, or nitinol affect proliferation, reactive oxygen species production, and cellular signaling.

Abstract
Endoscopic implantation of medical devices for the treatment of lung diseases, including airway stents, unidirectional valves and coils, is readily used to treat central airway disease and emphysema. However, granulation and fibrotic tissue formation impairs treatment effectiveness. To date little is known about the interaction between implanted devices, often made from metals, such as nickel, titanium or nitinol, and cells in the airways. Here, we study the response of lung epithelial cells and fibroblasts to implant device materials. The adhesion and proliferation of bronchial epithelial cells and lung fibroblasts upon exposure to 10 × 3 × 1 mm pieces of nickel, titanium or nitinol is examined using light and scanning electron microscopy. Pro-inflammatory cytokine mRNA expression and release, signaling kinase activity and intracellular free radical production are assessed. Nitinol, and to a lesser extent nickel and titanium, surfaces support the attachment and growth of lung epithelial cells. Nitinol induces a rapid and significant alteration of kinase activity. Cells directly exposed to nickel or titanium produce free radicals, but those exposed to nitinol do not. The response of lung epithelial cells and fibroblasts depends on the metal type to which they are exposed. Nitinol induces cellular surface growth and the induction of kinase activity, while exposure of lung epithelial cells to nickel and titanium induces free radical production, but nitinol does not.

Abstract
Nickel titanium (NiTi, or Nitinol) alloy is used in several biomedical applications, including cardiac, peripheral vascular, and fallopian tube stents. There are significant biocompatibility issues of metallic implants to nickel ions and nano-/micro-sized alloy particles. Our laboratories have recently shown that microscale CoCr wear particles from metal-on-metal hips crosslink with the innate immune signaling Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), prompting downstream signaling that results in interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-8 gene expression. In vivo, NiTi alloy can also generate wear particles on the nanoscale (NP) that have thus far not been studied for their potential to induce inflammation and angiogenesis that can, in turn, contribute to implant (e.g. stent) failure. Earlier studies by others demonstrated that nickel could induce contact hypersensitivity by crosslinking the human, but not the mouse, TLR4. In the present work, it is demonstrated that NiCl2 ions and NiTi nanoparticles induce pro-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic cytokine/chemokine expression in human endothelial and monocyte cell lines in vitro. These observations prompt concerns about potential mechanisms for stent failure. The data here showed a direct correlation between intracellular uptake of Ni2+ and generation of reactive oxygen species. To determine a role for nickel and NiTi nanoparticles in inducing angiogenesis in vivo, 1-cm silicone angioreactors were implanted subcutaneously into athymic (T-cell-deficient) nude mice. The angioreactors contained Matrigel (a gelatinous protein mixture that resembles extracellular matrix) in addition to one of the following: PBS (negative control), VEGF/FGF-2 (positive control), NiCl2, or NiTi NP. The implantation of angioreactors represents a potential tool for quantification of angiogenic potentials of medical device-derived particles and ions in vivo. By this approach, NiTi NP were found to be markedly angiogenic, while Ni2+ was less-so. The angioreactors may provide a powerful tool to examine if debris shed from medical devices may promote untoward biological effects.

Abstract
Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT), a physiological process during embryogenesis, can become pathological in the presence of different driving forces. Reduced oxygen tension or hypoxia is one of these forces, triggering a large number of molecular pathways with aberrant EMT induction, resulting in cancer and fibrosis onset. Both hypoxia-induced factors, HIF-1α and HIF-2α, act as master transcription factors implicated in EMT. On the other hand, hypoxia-dependent HIF-independent EMT has also been described. Recently, a new class of seven proteins with deacylase activity, called sirtuins, have been implicated in the control of both hypoxia responses, HIF-1α and HIF-2α activation, as well as EMT induction. Intriguingly, different sirtuins have different effects on hypoxia and EMT, acting as either activators or inhibitors, depending on the tissue and cell type. Interestingly, sirtuins and HIF can be activated or inhibited with natural or synthetic molecules. Moreover, recent studies have shown that these natural or synthetic molecules can be better conveyed using nanoparticles, representing a valid strategy for EMT modulation. The following review, by detailing the aspects listed above, summarizes the interplay between hypoxia, sirtuins, and EMT, as well as the possible strategies to modulate them by using a nanoparticle-based approach.

Abstract
We previously reported that delivery of nickel nanoparticles (NiNPs) and bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into the lungs of mice synergistically increased IL-6 production and inflammation, and male mice were more susceptible than female mice. The primary goal of this study was to utilize an in vitro human lung epithelial cell model (BEAS-2B) to investigate the intracellular signaling mechanisms that mediate IL-6 production by LPS and NiNPs. We also investigated the effect of sex hormones on NiNP and LPS-induced IL-6 production in vitro. LPS and NiNPs synergistically induced IL-6 mRNA and protein in BEAS-2B cells. TPCA-1, a dual inhibitor of IKK-2 and STAT3, blocked the synergistic increase in IL-6 caused by LPS and NiNPs, abolished STAT3 activation, and reduced C/EBPβ. Conversely, SC144, an inhibitor of the gp130 component of the IL-6 receptor, enhanced IL-6 production induced by LPS and NiNPs. Treatment of BEAS-2B cells with sex hormones (17β-estradiol, progesterone, or testosterone) or the anti-oxidant NAC, had no effect on IL-6 induction by LPS and NiNPs. These data suggest that LPS and NiNPs induce IL-6 via STAT3 and C/EBPβ in BEAS-2B cells. While BEAS-2B cells are a suitable model to study mechanisms of IL-6 production, they do not appear to be suitable for studying the effect of sex hormones.

Abstract
Exposure to nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiONPs), which have been widely produced and applied in industry, leads to adverse pulmonary and systemic effects. The aim of this study is to investigate the involvement of apoptosis and ferroptosis in NiONPs-induced acute lung injury (ALI). Intratracheal instillation of NiONPs into mice elevated the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, neutrophils, and proteins in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and triggered apoptosis and ferroptosis in the lung tissues. Consistently, NiONPs-induced apoptosis and ferroptosis were observed in in vitro experiments using human lung epithelial cells. Activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3), a stress-inducible transcription factor, was upregulated by NiONPs exposure in both murine lung tissues and human lung epithelial cells. Moreover, human lung epithelial cells with ATF3 deficiency exhibited a lower level of apoptosis and ferroptosis when exposed to NiONPs. Collectively, our findings demonstrated that ATF3 was responsive to NiONPs exposure, and promoted NiONPs-induced apoptosis and ferroptosis in lung epithelial cells, indicating that ATF3 is a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for NiONPs-associated ALI.

Abstract
SIRT-1 (silent mating-type information regulation 2 homolog-1) is a protein found in neuronal nuclei, microglia, and astrocyte cells of the brain. It is sometimes referred to as NAD + -dependent deacetylase (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). The activation of sirtuins (SIRT-1-7) has been shown to protect against a wide range of disorders, including neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. SIRT-1 has gained considerable interest from these families because of its early link to long-life expansion and calorie restriction involvement. SIRT-1 is necessary for gene silencing, cell cycle regulation, fat and glucose metabolism, oxidative stress, ageing, and memory formation. In this review, we investigate the role of SIRT-1 downregulation in the progression of bipolar disorder (BD) and neurological abnormalities, as well as related neurological alterations such as genetic dysfunction, neurotransmitter imbalance, oxidative stress-induced apoptosis, and mitochondrial dysfunction. BD is a psychiatric disease distinguished by extreme mood fluctuations that range from depressive lows to manic highs. BD is a complicated disorder with numerous clinical signs and neurocomplications that produce significant behavioural problems. SIRT-1 deficiency in the brain has been demonstrated to affect the activity of its transcription factors and molecular changes, including genetic defects. SIRT-1 is now being studied as a potential therapeutic target for a range of brain disorders. A recent study also found that activating SIRT-1 signalling performs a protective effect in avoiding depression and mania-like behaviours. Furthermore, this review investigates the potential mechanisms by which SIRT-1 regulates neuronal transmission and neurogenesis. As a result of our review, we revealed that SIRT-1 activators have neuroprotective potential in BD and related neurological dysfunctions.

Abstract
In New Caledonia, anthropic activities, such as mining, increase the natural erosion of soils in nickel mines, which in turn, releases nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiONPs) into the atmosphere. Pulmonary vascular endothelial cells represent one of the primary targets for inhaled nanoparticles. The objective of this in vitro study was to assess the cytotoxic effects of NiONPs on human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (HPAEC). Special attention will be given to the level of oxidative stress and calcium signaling, which are involved in the physiopathology of cardiovascular diseases. HPAEC were exposed to NiONPs (0.5-150 μg/cm2) for 4 or 24 h. The following different endpoints were studied: (i) ROS production using CM-H2DCF-DA probe, electron spin resonance, and MitoSOX probe; the SOD activity was also measured (ii) calcium signaling with Fluo4-AM, Rhod-2, and Fluo4-FF probes; (iii) inflammation by IL-6 production and secretion and, (iv) mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis with TMRM and MitoTracker probes, and AnnexinV/PI. Our results have evidenced that NiONPs induced oxidative stress in HPAEC. This was demonstrated by an increase in ROS production and a decrease in SOD activity, the two mechanisms seem to trigger a pro-inflammatory response with IL-6 secretion. In addition, NiONPs exposure altered calcium homeostasis inducing an increased cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) that was significantly reduced by the extracellular calcium chelator EGTA and the TRPV4 inhibitor HC-067047. Interestingly, exposure to NiONPs also altered TRPV4 activity. Finally, HPAEC exposure to NiONPs increased intracellular levels of both ROS and calcium ([Ca2+]m) in mitochondria, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and HPAEC apoptosis.

Abstract
The impact of particulate matter (PM) on ocular surface health has attracted increased attention in recent years. Previous studies have reported that differences in the chemical composition of PM can affect the toxicological response. However, available information on the toxic effects of chemical components of PM on the ocular surface is insufficient. In this paper, we aimed to investigate the toxicity effects of chemical components of PM on the ocular surface, focusing on the effects of four different types of nanoparticles (NPs) in human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) and human conjunctival epithelial cells (HCjECs), which include titanium dioxide (TiO2), carbon black (CB), zinc dioxide (ZnO), and silicon dioxide (SiO2). We found that the in vitro cytotoxic effects of CB, ZnO, and SiO2 NPs are dependent on particle properties and cell type as well as the exposure concentration and time. Here, the order of increasing toxicity was SiO2 → CB → ZnO, while TiO2 demonstrated no toxicity. Moreover, toxic effects appearing more severe in HCECs than HCjECs. Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated oxidative stress plays a key role in the toxicity of these three NPs in HCECs and HCjECs, leading to apoptosis and mitochondrial damage, which are also important contributors to aging. Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) as an NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase that seems to play a potential protective role in this process. These findings implied that ROS and/or SIRT1 may become a potential target of clinical treatment of PM- or NP-related ocular surface diseases.

Abstract
Metal dyshomeostasis, and especially overexposure, is known to cause adverse health effects due to modulation of a variety of metabolic pathways. An increasing body of literature has demonstrated that metal exposure may affect SIRT signaling, although the existing data are insufficient. Therefore, in this review we discuss the available data (PubMed-Medline, Google Scholar) on the influence of metal overload on sirtuin (SIRT) signaling and its association with other mechanisms involved in metal-induced toxicity. The existing data demonstrate that cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), arsenic (As), lead (Pb), aluminium (Al), hexavalent chromium (CrVI), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), and copper (Cu) can inhibit SIRT1 activity. In addition, an inhibitory effect of Cd, Pb, As, and Fe on SIRT3 has been demonstrated. In turn, metal-induced inhibition of SIRT was shown to affect deacetylation of target proteins including FOXO, PGC1α, p53 and NF-kB. Increased acetylation downregulates PGC1α signaling pathway, resulting in cellular altered redox status and increased susceptibility to oxidative stress, as well as decreased mitochondrial biogenesis. Lower rates of LKB1 deacetylation may be responsible for metal-induced decreases in AMPK activity and subsequent metabolic disturbances. A shift to the acetylated FOXO results in increased expression of pro-apoptotic genes which upregulates apoptosis together with increased p53 signaling. Correspondingly, decreased NF-kB deacetylation results in upregulation of target genes of proinflammatory cytokines, enzymes, and cellular adhesion molecules thus promoting inflammation. Therefore, alterations in sirtuin activity may at least partially mediate metal-induced metabolic disturbances that have been implicated in neurotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, and other toxic effects of heavy metals.

Abstract
Cr(VI) can induce inflammatory, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in rat liver. Cr(VI) induces inflammatory response in the liver by inhibiting deacetylation. Oxidative stress caused by Cr(VI) is related to the inhibition of deacetylation. Cr(VI) aggravates hepatocyte apoptosis by inhibiting deacetylation in rats. Cr(VI) induces liver injury via inhibition of the deacetylation of Sirt1.
Introduction Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), one of the toxic heavy metals, poses a serious threat to human and animal health. Protein acetylation regulates the structure and function of most proteins in a variety of ways. However, the hepatotoxicity of Cr(VI) and whether it is related to deacetylation remains largely unknown. Objectives We aimed to explore the link between the deacetylation of silent information regulator two ortholog 1 (Sirt1) and hepatotoxicity induced by Cr(VI) exposure, and to better clarify the biological mechanism of liver injury induced by Cr(VI). Methods We established a model of liver injury of K2Cr2O7 by injecting rats intraperitoneally for 35 days continuously and adding resveratrol (Res) to further explore the link between deacetylation and hepatotoxicity. Results The results revealed that Cr(VI) induced inflammatory response and apoptosis in hepatocytes. Furthermore, Cr(VI) reduced Sirt1 expression and inhibited the deacetylation of Sirt1 to downstream key transcription factors, including nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), Forkhead box O3 (FOXO3), and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB). Conversely, when Res was administered as an activator of Sirt1, the deacetylation of Sirt1 was enhanced, and inflammatory response and apoptosis were significantly alleviated. Conclusion In summary, this work firstly demonstrates that Cr(VI) induces liver injury in rat by inhibiting the deacetylation of Sirt1, which is of positive significance for protecting the natural environment and animal health from chronic Cr poisoning.

Abstract
The exceptional physical and chemical properties of nickel nanomaterials have been exploited in a range of applications such as electrical conductors, batteries, and biomaterials. However, it has been suggested that these unique properties may allow for increased bioavailability, bio-reactivity, and potential adverse health effects. Thus, the purpose of this review was to critically evaluate data regarding the toxicity of oxidic nickel nanoparticles (nickel oxide (NiO) and nickel hydroxide (Ni(OH)2) nanoparticles) with respect to: (1) physico-chemistry properties; (2) nanomaterial characterization in the defined delivery media; (3) appropriateness of model system and translation to potential human effects; (4) biodistribution, retention, and clearance; (5) routes and relevance of exposure; and (6) current research data gaps and likely directions of future research. Inhalation studies were prioritized for review as this represents a potential exposure route in humans. Oxidic nickel particle size ranged from 5 to 100 nm in the 60 studies that were identified. Inflammatory responses induced by exposure of oxidic nickel nanoparticles via inhalation in rodent studies was characterized as acute in nature and only displayed chronic effects after relatively large (high concentration and long duration) exposures. Furthermore, there is no evidence, thus far, to suggest that the effects induced by oxidic nickel nanoparticles are related to preneoplastic events. There are some data to suggest that nano- and micron-sized NiO particles follow a similar dose response when normalized to surface area. However, future experiments need to be conducted to better characterize the exposure-dose-response relationship according to specific surface area and reactivity as a dose metric, which drives particle dissolution and potential biological responses.

Abstract
With the rapid development of nanotechnology, new nanomaterials with enormous potentials continue to emerge, especially metal nanomaterials. Metal nanomaterials possess the characteristics of metals and nanomaterials, so they are widely used in many fields. But at the same time, whether the use or release of metal nan4omaterials into the environment is toxic to human beings and animals has now attained widespread attention at home and abroad. Currently, it is an indisputable fact that cancer ranks among the top causes of death among residents worldwide. The properties of causing DNA damage and mutations possessed by these metal nanomaterials make them unpredictable influences in the body, subsequently leading to genotoxicity and carcinogenicity. Due to the increasing evidence of their roles in carcinogenicity, this article reviews the toxicological and carcinogenic effects of metal nanomaterials, including nano-metal elements (nickel nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles, and cobalt nanoparticles) and nano-metal oxides (titanium dioxide nanoparticles, silica nanoparticles, zinc oxide nanoparticles, and alumina nanoparticles). This article provides a reference for the researchers and policymakers to use metal nanomaterials rationally in modern industries and biomedicine.

Abstract
Abstract The incorporation of nanomaterials (NMs), including metal(loid) oxide (MOx) nanoparticles (NPs), in the most diversified consumer products, has grown enormously in recent decades. Consequently, the contact between humans and these materials increased, as well as their presence in the environment. This fact has raised concerns and uncertainties about the possible risks of NMs to human health and the adverse effects on the environment. These concerns underline the need and importance of assessing its nanosecurity. The present review focuses on the main mechanisms underlying the MOx NPs toxicity, illustrated with different biological models: release of toxic ions, cellular uptake of NPs, oxidative stress, shading effect on photosynthetic microorganisms, physical restrain and damage of cell wall. Additionally, the biological models used to evaluate the potential hazardous of nanomaterials are briefly presented, with particular emphasis on the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as an alternative model in nanotoxicology. An overview containing recent scientific advances on cellular responses (toxic symptoms exhibited by yeasts) resulting from the interaction with MOx NPs (inhibition of cell proliferation, cell wall damage, alteration of function and morphology of organelles, presence of oxidative stress bio-indicators, gene expression changes, genotoxicity and cell dead) is critically presented. The elucidation of the toxic modes of action of MOx NPs in yeast cells can be very useful in providing additional clues about the impact of NPs on the physiology and metabolism of the eukaryotic cell. Current and future trends of MOx NPs toxicity, regarding their possible impacts on the environment and human health, are discussed. Key points • The potential hazardous effects of MOx NPs are critically reviewed. • An overview of the main mechanisms associated with MOx NPs toxicity is presented. • Scientific advances about yeast cell responses to MOx NPs are updated and discussed.

Abstract
Objectives The superior properties of nickel oxide-nanoparticles (NiO-NPs) have led to their wide use in various fields. However, there is little comprehensive knowledge about their toxicity, especially after oral exposure. The toxic effect of NiO-NPs of mean size 15.0 nm was investigated in Caco-2 (human intestinal epithelial) cells as no study has been performed on their intestinal toxicity. Materials and Methods Following identification of their particle size distribution and cellular uptake potential, the risk of exposure to NiO-NPs was evaluated by cellular morphologic changes, cyto- and genotoxic potentials, oxidative damage, and apoptotic induction. Results NiO-NPs induced a 50% reduction in cell viability at 351.6 μg/mL and caused DNA damage and oxidative damage at 30-150 μg/mL. It appears that apoptosis might be a main cell death mechanism in NiO-NP-exposed intestinal cells. Conclusion NiO-NPs might be hazardous to the gastrointestinal system. The results should raise concerns about using NiO-NPs in food-contact appliances and about NiO-NP-containing wastes. Further in vivo and in vitro research should be conducted to explain the specific toxicity mechanism of these particles and reduce their risk to humans.

and neurotoxicity, and promising agents for the prevention and treatment of the toxicity by Ni.
Results:
Our review showed that in the last few years, more researches have focused on reactive oxygen
species formation, oxidative stress, DNA damages, apoptosis, interaction with involving receptors
in allergy and mitochondrial damages in neuron induced by Ni.
Conclusion:
The collected data in this paper provide useful information about the main toxicities induced
by Ni, also, their fundamental mechanisms, and how to discover new ameliorative agents for
prevention and treatment by reviewing agents with protective and therapeutic consequences on Ni
induced toxicity.

Abstract
Nickel oxide nanoparticles (Nano NiO) bears hepatotoxicity, while whether it leads to liver fibrosis remains unclear. The aim of this study was to establish the Nano NiO-induced hepatic fibrosis model in vivo and investigate the roles of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) in Smad pathway activation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) occurrence, and extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition in vitro. Male Wistar rats were exposed to 0.015, 0.06, and 0.24 mg/kg Nano NiO by intratracheal instilling twice a week for 9 weeks. HepG2 cells were treated with 100 μg/mL Nano NiO and TGF-β1 inhibitor (SB431542) to explore the mechanism of collagen formation. Results of Masson staining as well as the elevated levels of type I collagen (Col-I) and Col-III suggested that Nano NiO resulted in hepatic fibrosis in rats. Furthermore, Nano NiO increased the protein expression of TGF-β1, p-Smad2, p-Smad3, alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), matrix metalloproteinase9 (MMP9), and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase1 (TIMP1), while decreased the protein content of E-cadherin and Smad7 in rat liver and HepG2 cells. Most importantly, Nano NiO-triggered the abnormal expression of the abovementioned proteins were all alleviated by co-treatment with SB431542, implying that TGF-β1-mediated Smad pathway, EMT and MMP9/TIMP1 imbalance were involved in overproduction of collagen in HepG2 cells. In conclusion, these findings indicated that Nano NiO induced hepatic fibrosis via TGF-β1-mediated Smad pathway activation, EMT occurrence, and ECM deposition.

Purple sweet potato color protects against hepatocyte apoptosis through Sirt1 activation in high-fat-diet-treated mice. Food Nutr Res 2020; 64:1509. [PMID: 32110174 DOI: 10.29219/fnr.v64.1509] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2018] [Revised: 10/28/2019] [Accepted: 12/22/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Recent evidence indicates that the inhibition of hepatocyte apoptosis is possible to develop a potential therapeutic strategy for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Our previous work suggested that purple sweet potato color (PSPC), a class of naturally occurring anthocyanins, effectively improved many features of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced NAFLD. However, whether PSPC ameliorates HFD-induced hepatocyte apoptosis has never been investigated. Objective Here we investigated the effects of PSPC on HFD-induced hepatic apoptosis and the mechanisms underlying these effects. Design Mice were divided into four groups: Control group, HFD group, HFD + PSPC group and PSPC group. PSPC was administered by daily oral gavage at doses of 700 mg/kg/day for 20 weeks. EX-527 (a SirT1-selective inhibitor) and Sirt1 siRNA were used to demonstrate the Sirt1 dependence of PSPC-mediated effects on apoptotic and survival signaling pathways in vivo and in vitro. Results Our results showed that PSPC reduced body weights, hepatic triglyceride contents, histopathological lesions and serum ALT levels in a mouse model of NAFLD induced by HFD. Furthermore, PSPC attenuated HFD-induced hepatocyte apoptosis ratio from 7.27 ± 0.92% to 1.79 ± 0.27% in mouse livers, which is insignificant compared with that of controls. Moreover, PSPC activated Sirt1 by boosting NAD+ level in HFD-treated mouse livers. Furthermore, PSPC promoted Sirt1-dependent suppression of P53-mediated apoptotic signaling and activation of Akt survival signaling pathway in HFD-treated mouse livers, which was confirmed by EX527 treatment. Moreover, Sirt1 knockdown abolished these ameliorative effects of PSPC on apoptosis and P53 acetylation and protein expression in PA-treated L02 cells. Ultimately, PSPC reduced Caspase-3 activation and Bax level, and elevated the Bcl-2 level in HFD-treated mouse livers. Conclusion PSPC protected against HFD-induced hepatic apoptosis by promoting Sirt1- dependent inhibition of p53-apoptotic pathway and facilitation of Akt survival pathway. This study indicates that PSPC is a candidate for nutritional intervention of NAFLD.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is a growing science that may provide several new applications for medicine, food preservation, diagnostic technologies, and sanitation. Despite its beneficial applications, there are several questions related to the safety of nanomaterials for human use. The development of nanotechnology is associated with some concerns because of the increased risk of carcinogenesis following exposure to nanomaterials. The increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are due to exposure to nanoparticles (NPs) are primarily responsible for the genotoxicity of metal NPs. Not all, but most metal NPs are able to directly produce free radicals through the release of metal ions and through interactions with water molecules. Furthermore, the increased production of free radicals and the cell death caused by metal NPs can stimulate reduction/oxidation (redox) reactions, leading to the continuous endogenous production of ROS in a positive feedback loop. The overexpression of inflammatory mediators, such as NF-kB and STATs, the mitochondrial malfunction and the increased intracellular calcium levels mediate the chronic oxidative stress that occurs after exposure to metal NPs. In this paper, we review the genotoxicity of different types of metal NPs and the redox mechanisms that amplify the toxicity of these NPs.

Abstract
The expansion of the industrial use of nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles (NPs) raises concerns about their potential adverse effects. Our work aimed to investigate the mechanisms of toxicity induced by NiO NPs, using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a cell model. Yeast cells exposed to NiO NPs exhibited typical hallmarks of regulated cell death (RCD) by apoptosis [loss of cell proliferation capacity (cell viability), exposure of phosphatidylserine at the outer cytoplasmic membrane leaflet, nuclear chromatin condensation, and DNA damage] in a process that required de novo protein synthesis. The execution of yeast cell death induced by NiO NPs is Yca1p metacaspase-dependent. NiO NPs also induced a decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential and an increase in the frequency of respiratory-deficient mutants, which supports the involvement of mitochondria in the cell death process. Cells deficient in the apoptosis-inducing factor ( aif1Δ) displayed higher tolerance to NiO NPs, which reinforces the involvement of mitochondria in RCD by apoptosis. In summary, this study shows that NiO NPs induce caspase- and mitochondria-dependent apoptosis in yeast. Our results warn about the possible harmful effects associated with the use of NiO NPs.

Abstract
Given the increasing applications of NiO nanoparticles (NPs) in battery products, the potential effects of NiO NPs on anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) systems were studied for the first time. The results showed that the anammox system performance obviously differed under the stresses of different NiO NPs concentrations. After the withdrawal of NiO NPs, the nitrogen removal performance of the anammox reactor returned to nearly that of the initial phase within 35 days. Compared with 0 mg L-1 NiO NPs, the specific anammox activity first increased and then decreased to the minimum value of 116.8 ± 13.8 mg TN g-1 VSS d-1 at 60 mg L-1 NiO NPs. The variations in the heme c contents and extracellular polymeric substance amounts were similar to the variations in the specific anammox activity throughout the whole experiment. Additionally, the relative abundance of the dominant bacteria (Candidatus kuenenia) increased from 20.44% at 60 mg L-1 NiO NPs to 23.14% at the end of the last phase. Thus, the potential effects of NiO NPs on anammox systems should be a cause for great concern.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn) is an essential trace element. Excessive exposure to Mn may lead to neuronal death and neurodegenerative disorders. Accumulating evidence has shown that silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1) plays a vital role in brain damage. However, whether aberrant SIRT1 levels contribute to Mn-induced neurotoxicity remains unknown. In this study, we report the important role of SIRT1 downregulation during Mn-induced neuronal apoptosis. Mn was found to downregulate SIRT1 protein levels in the rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells and mouse brain tissues. Mn enhanced SIRT1 protein degradation and downregulated its gene expression. Furthermore, Mn induced cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner both in vitro and in vivo, and resulted in an increase in forkhead box O (FOXO) 3a expression and acetylation. SIRT1 activation by resveratrol clearly attenuated Mn-triggered apoptosis and FOXO3a activation. Mn markedly increased the expression of Bcl-2 interacting mediator of cell death (Bim) and p53-up-regulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA), whereas downregulation of FOXO3a significantly inhibited their upregulation and subsequent apoptosis. In summary, we determined that Mn downregulated SIRT1 by multiple mechanisms, thus led to apoptosis via activation of the FOXO3a-Bim/PUMA axis in PC12 cells. These findings on the impact of Mn on SIRT1 may lead to an improved understanding of Mn-induced neurotoxicity and provide a molecular target to antagonise Mn-associated neuronal damage.

Abstract
Nickel-based nanoparticles (NPs) are new products with an increasing number of industrial applications that were developed in recent years. NiO NPs are present in several nanotechnological industrial products, and the characterization of their genotoxic potential is essential. The present study assessed the genotoxicity of NiO NPs in vivo and in vitro using the somatic mutation and recombination test in somatic cells of Drosophila melanogaster (SMART), the cytokinesis - block micronucleus assay (CBMN), and the comet assay in a V79 cell line. The NiO NPs used in this study were about 30 nm in mean size. Larvae of Drosophila melanogaster were exposed to 5 mL of five different concentrations (1.31, 2.62, 5.25, 10.5, and 21 mg/mL) of NiO NPs. In turn, V79 cells were treated with a concentration range of 15-2000 μg/mL NiO NPs. The SMART showed that all concentrations of NiO NPs are genotoxic to the standart (ST) cross when compared to the negative control. On the other hand, only the highest concentration (21 mg/mL) was genotoxic to the HB cross. Somatic recombination was the preferential mechanism lesions were induced in D. melanogaster. The results show that NiO NPs were mutagenic to V79 cells as assessed by the CBMN assay. Significant differences in the frequencies of micronuclei (MN) were observed using the highest NiO NP concentrations (250 and 500 μg/mL) in the 4- and 24-h treatments, but when 125 μg/mL NiO NPs was used, such difference was observed only in the 4-h exposure time. The comet assay revealed that 62, 125, 250 and 500 μg/mL NiO NPs induced a significant increase in DNA damage. The results observed in this study indicate that NiO NPs are genotoxic and mutagenic in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Ni, a metal with industrial and commercial uses, poses a serious hazard to human and animal health. In the present study, we used flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry and qRT-PCR to investigate the mechanisms of NiCl2-induced apoptosis in kidney cells. After treating 280 broiler chickens with 0, 300, 600 or 900 mg/kg NiCl2 for 42 days, we found that two caspase-dependent pathways were involved in the induced renal tubular cell apoptosis. In the mitochondria-mediated caspase-dependent apoptotic pathway, cyt-c, HtrA2/Omi, Smac/Diablo, apaf-1, PARP, and caspase-9, 3, 6 and 7 were all increased, while. XIAP transcription was decreased. Concurrently, in the Fas-mediated caspase-dependent apoptotic pathway, Fas, FasL, caspase-8, caspase-10 and Bid levels were all increased. These results indicate that dietary NiCl2 at 300+ mg/kg induces renal tubular cell apoptosis in broiler chickens, involving both mitochondrial and Fas-mediated caspase-dependent apoptotic pathways. Our results provide novel insight into Ni and Ni-compound toxicology evaluated in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The increasing use of nanoparticles (NPs) has spurred concerns about their toxic effects. This work aimed to assess the potential hazards of nickel oxide (NiO) NPs using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a cell model. Yeast cells exposed for 6 h to 100 mg/L NiO NPs presented reduced metabolic activity (esterase activity and FUN-1 dye processing) and enhanced accumulation of reactive oxygen species. NiO NPs induced the loss of cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. Study of the dissolution of NiO NPs in aqueous media, together with the toxicological data, suggests that the nickel released by the NPs cannot explain all the toxic effects observed in S. cerevisiae caused by the NPs. Transmission electron microscopy observations revealed that NiO NPs were adsorbed onto cell surface but did not enter into yeast cells. Isogenic mutants (cwp1∆ and cwp2∆) with increased cell wall porosity did not display enhanced susceptibility to NiO NPs compared to the wild type strain. Our results suggest that NiO NPs exert their toxic effect by an indirect mechanism. This work contributes to knowledge of the potential hazards of NiO NPs and to the elucidation of their mechanisms of toxic action.

Abstract
Nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO-NPs) are increasingly used and concerns have been raised on its toxicity. Although a few studies have reported the toxicity of NiO-NPs, a comprehensive understanding of NiO-NPs toxicity in human cells is still lagging. In this study, we integrated transcriptomic approach and genotoxic evidence to depict the mechanism of NiO-NPs toxicity in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells. DNA damage analysis was done using comet assay, which showed 26-fold greater tail moment in HepG2 cells at the highest concentration of 100 μg/ml. Flow cytometric analysis showed concentration dependent enhancement in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Real-time PCR analysis of apoptotic (p53, bax, bcl2) and oxidative stress (SOD1) genes showed transcriptional upregulation. Transcriptome analysis using qPCR array showed over expression of mRNA transcripts related to six different cellular pathways. Our data unequivocally suggests that NiO-NPs induces oxidative stress, DNA damage, apoptosis and transcriptome alterations in HepG2 cells.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to explore the role of oxidative stress in liver toxicity induced by nickel oxide nanoparticles (nano‑NiO) in rats. Male Wistar rats received saline (control), nano‑NiO [0.015, 0.06 or 0.24 mg/kg body weight (b.w.)] or micro‑NiO (0.24 mg/kg b.w.) by intratracheal instilling twice a week for 6 weeks. Liver tissues were then collected and examined for biomarkers of nitrative and oxidative stress, as well as mRNA expression of heme oxygenase (HO)‑1 and metallothionein (MT)‑1. The results demonstrated that the NiO exposure groups had increased liver wet weight and coefficient to body weight, as well as liver pathological changes, evidenced as cellular edema, hepatic sinus disappeara-nce and binucleated hepatocytes. The activities of total nitric oxide synthase and inducible nitric oxide synthase, and the nitric oxide content, were increased in the 0.24 mg/kg nano‑NiO group compared with the control group. The MT‑1 mRNA expression levels were downregulated, while HO‑1 mRNA was upregulated in the 0.24 mg/kg nano‑NiO exposure group compared with the control group. In addition, abnormal changes of hydroxyl radical, lipid peroxidation, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, total superoxide dismutase and total antioxidative capacity were observed in the liver tissues of the 0.24 mg/kg nano‑NiO exposure group, compared with the control group. The present results therefore indicated that nano‑NiO‑induced liver toxicity may be associated with nitrative and oxidative stress in rats.

Abstract
Nickel oxide nanoparticles (nano NiO) could induce hepatocyte apoptosis, while its potential mechanisms are unclear. This study aimed to explore the role of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathways in hepatocyte apoptosis induced by nano NiO. Male Wistar rats were administrated with nano NiO (0.015, 0.06, and 0.24 mg/kg b.w.) and micro NiO (0.24 mg/kg b.w.) by intratracheal instillation twice a week for 6 weeks. We measured the hepatocyte apoptosis levels by TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining, ER stress related gene and protein expression levels in rat liver. The results showed that the TUNEL positive cells increased after exposure nano NiO, hinting hepatocyte apoptosis. The up-regulated gene and protein levels of 78 kD glucose regulated protein and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous protein suggested that nano NiO triggered ER stress. Nano NiO exposure contributed to the increased protein contents of inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE-1)α, p-IRE-1α, X box protein-1S, pancreatic ER kinase (PERK), p-PERK, eukaryotic initiation factor-2 alpha (eIF-2α), p-eIF-2α, caspase-12, -9, and -3, implicating that nano NiO can activate the pathways of ER stress-mediated apoptosis. These findings indicate that the ER stress pathways may play an important role in hepatocyte apoptosis induced by nano NiO.

Abstract
Up to now, the precise mechanism of Ni toxicology is still indistinct. Our aim was to test the apoptosis, cell cycle arrest and inflammatory response mechanism induced by NiCl2 in the liver of broiler chickens. NiCl2 significantly increased hepatic apoptosis. NiCl2 activated mitochondria-mediated apoptotic pathway by decreasing Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Mcl-1, and increasing Bax, Bak, caspase-3, caspase-9 and PARP mRNA expression. In the Fas-mediated apoptotic pathway, mRNA expression levels of Fas, FasL, caspase-8 were increased. Also, NiCl2 induced ER stress apoptotic pathway by increasing GRP78 and GRP94 mRNA expressions. The ER stress was activated through PERK, IRE1 and ATF6 pathways, which were characterized by increasing eIF2α, ATF4, IRE1, XBP1 and ATF6 mRNA expressions. And, NiCl2 arrested G2/M phase cell cycle by increasing p53, p21 and decreasing cdc2, cyclin B mRNA expressions. Simultaneously, NiCl2 increased TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 mRNA expressions through NF-κB activation. In conclusion, NiCl2 induces apoptosis through mitochondria, Fas and ER stress-mediated apoptotic pathways and causes cell cycle G2/M phase arrest via p53-dependent pathway and generates inflammatory response by activating NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
Metal oxide nanoparticles (MeO-NPs) are among the most consumed NPs and also have wide applications in various areas which increased their release into the environmental system. Aquatic (water and sediments) and terrestrial compartments are predicted to be the destination of the released MeO-NPs. In these compartments, the particles are subjected to various dynamic processes such as physical, chemical and biological processes, and undergo transformations which drive them away from their pristine state. These transformation pathways can have strong implications for the fate, transport, persistence, bioavailability and toxic-effects of the NPs. In this critical review, we provide the state-of-the-knowledge on the transformation processes and bioavailability of MeO-NPs in the environment, which is the topic of interest to researchers. We also recommend future research directions in the area which will support future risk assessments by enhancing our knowledge of the transformation and bioavailability of MeO-NPs.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have emerged as a boon for the public health applications such as drug delivery, diagnostic, and imaging. Biodegradable and non-bio degradable nanoparticles have been used at a large scale level to increase the efficiency of the biomedical process at the cellular, animal and human level. Exponential use of nanoparticles reinforces the adverse immunological changes at the human health level. Physical and chemical properties of nanoparticles often lead to a variety of immunotoxic effects such as activation of stress-related genes, membrane disruption, and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Delivered nanoparticles in animal or human interact with various components of the immune system such as lymphocytes, macrophages, neutrophils etc. Nanoparticles delivered above the threshold level damages the cellular physiology by the generation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. This review article represents the potential of nanoparticles in the field of nanomedicine and provides the critical evidence which leads to develop immunotoxicity in living cells and organisms by altering immunological responses.

Abstract
The unique properties of nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO-NPs) distinguish it from traditional nickel containing materials, and enable its industrial application as an advanced nanomaterial. Despite the benefits, the in vivo toxicological studies on NiO-NPs have been mainly focused on its pulmonary pathology. However, NiO-NPs exposure via oral route and its subsequent toxic effects in exposed animals are still lacking. Hence, we evaluated the NiO-NPs oral toxicity in male Wistar rats. NiO-NPs induced significant increase in chromosomal aberrations (CAs), micronuclei (MN) formation and, DNA damage in rats. Flow cytometric analysis showed apoptosis, ROS generation and dysfunction of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm). Imbalance of antioxidant enzymes, along with histological alterations was found in liver. Taking together, these results unequivocally suggested that NiO-NPs induced toxicity was through cyto-genetic alterations, oxidative stress, apoptosis and liver toxicity. The western blotting data validated the interplay of p53 and MAPKAPK-2 signalling via activation of caspases 8, 3, cyto c, pro-apoptotic bax and anti-apoptotic bcl-2 proteins.

Abstract
Studies have demonstrated that nano NiO could induce liver toxicity in rats, but its mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the role of the NF-κB signaling pathway in rat liver toxicity after nano NiO exposure. Male Wistar rats were exposed to nano NiO (0.015, 0.06 and 0.24 mg per kg b.w.) and micro NiO (0.24 mg per kg b.w.) by intratracheal instillation twice a week for 6 weeks. To investigate the liver toxicity induced by nano NiO, the indicators of liver function and inflammatory response were detected, and the histopathological changes were observed. The levels of NF-κB signaling pathway related gene and protein expression were examined using RT-qPCR and western blot techniques in the liver tissue. The results showed that the activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) increased after nano NiO exposure. Cellular edema, hepatic sinus disappearance, and neutrophil and lymphocyte infiltration were observed. Nano NiO increased the concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-6), but decreased the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4 and IL-10). It also induced the upregulation of TNF-α, NF-κB-inducible kinase (NIK), IκB kinase alpha (IKK-α) and NF-κB mRNA, while inducing the downregulation of the inhibitor kappa B (IκB) alpha. In addition, we found that the protein content of NIK, IKK-α, p-IKK-α, p-IκB-α and NF-κB was elevated, whereas that of IκB-α was reduced. The results indicated that the NF-κB signaling pathway played an important role in rat liver toxicity induced by nano NiO.

Abstract
It has been known that overexposure to Ni can induce nephrotoxicity. However, the mechanisms of underlying Ni nephrotoxicity are still elusive, and also Ni- and Ni compound-induced ER stress has been not reported in vivo at present. Our aim was to use broiler chickens as animal model to test whether the ER stress was induced and UPR was activated by NiCl2 in the kidney using histopathology, immunohistochemistry and qRT-PCR. Two hundred and eighty one-day-old broiler chickens were divided into 4 groups and fed on a control diet and the same basal diet supplemented with 300 mg/kg, 600mg/kg and 900mg/kg of NiCl2 for 42 days. We found that dietary NiCl2 in excess of 300 mg/kg induced ER stress, which was characterized by increasing protein and mRNA expression of ER stress markers, e.g., GRP78 and GRP94. Concurrently, all the three UPR pathways were activated by dietary NiCl2. Firstly, the PERK pathway was activated by increasing eIF2a and ATF4 mRNA expression. Secondly, the IRE1 pathway was activated duo to increase in IRE1 and XBP1 mRNA expression. And thirdly, the increase of ATF6 mRNA expression suggested that ATF6 pathway was activated. The findings clearly demonstrate that NiCl2 induces the ER stress through activating PERK, IRE1 and ATF6 UPR pathways, which is proved to be a kind of molecular mechanism of Ni- or/and Ni compound-induced nephrotoxicity.

Long-term effects of nickel oxide nanoparticles on performance, microbial enzymatic activity, and microbial community of a sequencing batch reactor. CHEMOSPHERE 2017; 169:387-395. [PMID: 27886541 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2016.10.139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2016] [Revised: 10/23/2016] [Accepted: 10/31/2016] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
The nitrogen and phosphorus removal, microbial enzymatic activity, and microbial community of a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) were evaluated under long-term exposure to nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs). High NiO NP concentration (over 5 mg L-1) affected the removal of chemical oxygen demand, nitrogen, and phosphorus. The presence of NiO NP inhibited the microbial enzymatic activities and reduced the nitrogen and phosphorus removal rates of activated sludge. The microbial enzymatic activities of the activated sludge showed a similar variation trend to the nitrogen and phosphorus removal rates with the increase in NiO NP concentration from 0 to 60 mg L-1. The Ni content in the effluent and activated sludge showed an increasing trend with the increase in NiO NP concentration. Some NiO NPs were absorbed on the sludge surface or penetrate the cell membrane into the interior of microbial cells in the activated sludge. NiO NP facilitated the increase in reactive oxygen species by disturbing the balance between the oxidation and anti-oxidation processes, and the variation in lactate dehydrogenase demonstrated that NiO NP could destroy the cytomembrane and cause variations in the microbial morphology and physiological function. High-throughput sequencing demonstrated that the microbial community of SBR had some obvious changes at 0-60 mg L-1 NiO NPs at the phyla, class and genus levels.

Nickel oxide nanoparticles are highly toxic to SH-SY5Y neuronal cells. Neurochem Int 2017; 108:7-14. [PMID: 28159626 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuint.2017.01.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2016] [Revised: 12/22/2016] [Accepted: 01/27/2017] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO-NPs) are used in many industrial sectors including printing inks, ceramics and catalysts, and electrical and electronics industry because of their magnetic and optical properties. However, there has been still a serious lack of information about their toxicity at the cellular and molecular levels on nervous system. For that, we aimed to investigate the in vitro toxic potentials of NiO-NPs in neuronal (SH-SY5Y) cells. The particle characterisation, cellular uptake and morphological changes were determined using Transmission Electron Microscopy, dynamic light scattering and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry. Then, the cytotoxicity was evaluated by MTT and neutral red uptake assays, the genotoxicity by comet assay, the oxidative potentials by the determination of malondialdehyde, 8-hydroxy deoxyguanosine, protein carbonyl, and glutathione levels with Enzyme-Linked Immune Sorbent Assays, and the apoptotic potentials by Annexin V-FITC apoptosis detection assay with propidium iodide. According to the results, it was observed that NiO-NPs (15.0 nm ± 4.2-38.1 nm); (i) were taken up by the cells in concentration dependent manner, (ii) caused 50% inhibition in cell viability at ≥229.34 μg/mL, (iii) induced some morphological changes, (iv) induced dose-dependent DNA damage (3.2-11.0 fold) and apoptosis (80-99%), (v) significantly induced oxidative damage. In conclusion, our results support the hypothesis that NiO-NPs affect human health especially neuronal system negatively and should raise the concern about the safety associated with their applications in consumer products.

Abstract
Environmental profiles for the selected metals were compiled on the basis of available data on their biological activities. Analysis of the profiles suggests that the concept of toxic heavy metals and safe nontoxic alternatives based on lighter metals should be re-evaluated. Comparison of the toxicological data indicates that palladium, platinum, and gold compounds, often considered heavy and toxic, may in fact be not so dangerous, whereas complexes of nickel and copper, typically assumed to be green and sustainable alternatives, may possess significant toxicities, which is also greatly affected by the solubility in water and biological fluids. It appears that the development of new catalysts and novel applications should not rely on the existing assumptions concerning toxicity/nontoxicity. Overall, the available experimental data seem insufficient for accurate evaluation of biological activity of these metals and its modulation by the ligands. Without dedicated experimental measurements for particular metal/ligand frameworks, toxicity should not be used as a "selling point" when describing new catalysts.
