Abstract
Core-shell nanocomposites made of iron oxide core (IO NPs) coated with mesoporous silica (MS) shells are promising theranostic agents. While the core is being used as an efficient heating nanoagent under alternating magnetic field (AMF) and near infra-red (NIR) light and as a suitable contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the MS shell is particularly relevant to ensure colloidal stability in a biological buffer and to transport a variety of therapeutics. However, a major challenge with such inorganic nanostructures is the design of adjustable silica structures, especially with tunable large pores which would be useful, for instance, for the delivery of large therapeutic biomolecule loading and further sustained release. Furthermore, the effect of tailoring a porous silica structure on the magneto- or photothermal dissipation still remains poorly investigated. In this work, we undertake an in-depth investigation of the growth of stellate mesoporous silica (STMS) shells around IO NPs cores and of their micro/mesoporous features respectively through time-lapse and in situ liquid phase transmission electron microscopy (LPTEM) and detailed nitrogen isotherm adsorption studies. We found here that the STMS shell features (thickness, pore size, surface area) can be finely tuned by simply controlling the sol-gel reaction time, affording a novel range of IO@STMS core@shell NPs. Finally, regarding the responses under alternating magnetic fields and NIR light which are evaluated as a function of the silica structure, IO@STMS NPs having a tunable silica shell structure are shown to be efficient as T2-weighted MRI agents and as heating agents for magneto- and photoinduced hyperthermia. Furthermore, such IO@STMS are found to display anti-cancer effects in pancreatic cancer cells under magnetic fields (both alternating and rotating).

Abstract
Air pollution is an environmental factor associated with an increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, characterized by decreased cognitive abilities and memory. The limited models of sporadic Alzheimer's disease fail to replicate all pathological hallmarks of the disease, making it challenging to uncover potential environmental causes. Environmentally driven models of Alzheimer's disease are thus timely and necessary. We used live-cell confocal fluorescent imaging combined with high-resolution stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy to follow the response of retinoic acid-differentiated human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells to nanomaterial exposure. Here, we report that exposure of the cells to some particulate matter constituents reproduces a neurodegenerative phenotype, including extracellular amyloid beta-containing plaques and decreased neurite length. Consistent with the existing in vivo research, we observed detrimental effects, specifically a substantial reduction in neurite length and formation of amyloid beta plaques, after exposure to iron oxide and diesel exhaust particles. Conversely, after exposure to engineered cerium oxide nanoparticles, the lengths of neurites were maintained, and almost no extracellular amyloid beta plaques were formed. Although the exact mechanism behind this effect remains to be explained, the retinoic acid differentiated SH-SY5Y cell in vitro model could serve as an alternative, environmentally driven model of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease.

Physical-Chemical Coupling Coassembly Approach to Branched Magnetic Mesoporous Nanochains with Adjustable Surface Roughness. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2309564.

Abstract
Self-assembly processes triggered by physical or chemical driving forces have been applied to fabricate hierarchical materials with subtle nanostructures. However, various physicochemical processes often interfere with each other, and their precise control has remained a great challenge. Here, in this paper, a rational synthesis of 1D magnetite-chain and mesoporous-silica-nanorod (Fe3O4&mSiO2) branched magnetic nanochains via a physical-chemical coupling coassembly approach is reported. Magnetic-field-induced assembly of magnetite Fe3O4 nanoparticles and isotropic/anisotropic assembly of mesoporous silica are coupled to obtain the delicate 1D branched magnetic mesoporous nanochains. The nanochains with a length of 2-3 µm in length are composed of aligned Fe3O4@mSiO2 nanospheres with a diameter of 150 nm and sticked-out 300 nm long mSiO2 branches. By properly coordinating the multiple assembly processes, the density and length of mSiO2 branches can well be adjusted. Because of the unique rough surface and length in correspondence to bacteria, the designed 1D Fe3O4&mSiO2 branched magnetic nanochains show strong bacterial adhesion and pressuring ability, performing bacterial inhibition over 60% at a low concentration (15 µg mL-1). This cooperative coassembly strategy deepens the understanding of the micro-nanoscale assembly process and lays a foundation for the preparation of the assembly with adjustable surface structures and the subsequent construction of complex multilevel structures.

Abstract
Owing to their uniform and tunable particle size, pore size, and shape, along with their modular surface chemistry and biocompatibility, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have found extensive applications as nanocarriers to deliver therapeutic, diagnostic and combined "theranostic" cargos to cells and tissues. Although thoroughly investigated, MSN have garnered FDA approval for only one MSN system via oral administration. One possible reason is that there is no recognized, reproducible, and widely adopted MSN synthetic protocol, meaning not all MSNs are created equal in the laboratory nor in the eyes of the FDA. This manuscript provides the sol-gel and MSN research communities a reproducible, fully characterized synthetic protocol to synthesize MSNs and corresponding lipid-coated MSN delivery vehicles with predetermined particle size, pore size, and drug loading and release characteristics. By carefully articulating the step-by-step synthetic procedures and highlighting critical points and troubleshooting, augmented with videos and schematics, this Article will help researchers entering this rapidly expanding field to yield reliable results.

Abstract
To improve the physical stability of nanoparticle dispersions, several methods for their transformation into stable and easily dispersible dry products have been investigated thus far. Recently, electrospinning was shown to be a novel nanoparticle dispersion drying method, which addresses the crucial challenges of the current drying methods. It is a relatively simple method, but it is affected by various ambient, process, and dispersion parameters, which impact the properties of the electrospun product. The aim of this study was, thus, to investigate the influence of the most important dispersion parameter, namely the total polymer concentration, on the drying method efficiency and the properties of the electrospun product. The formulation was based on a mixture of hydrophilic polymers poloxamer 188 and polyethylene oxide in the weight ratio of 1:1, which is acceptable for potential parenteral application. We showed that the total polymer concentration of prior-drying samples is closely related to their viscosity and conductivity, also affecting the morphology of the electrospun product. However, the change in morphology of the electrospun product does not affect the efficiency of SPION reconstitution from the electrospun product. Regardless of the morphology, the electrospun product is not in powder form and is therefore safer to handle compared to powder nanoformulations. The optimal total polymer concentration in the prior-drying SPION dispersion, which enables the formation of an easily dispersible electrospun product with high SPION-loading (65% (w/w)) and fibrillar morphology, was shown to be 4.2% (w/v).

Abstract
The present work constructed magnetically driven nanorobots by conjugating the photoluminescent β-alanine-histidine (β-AH) nanodots to superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPNPs) for simultaneously sensitive determination and fast trapping RDS in food processing, achieving efficient regulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) risk. Bio-derivative β-AH nanodots with orderly self-assembly nanostructure and tunable photoluminescent properties served as both biorecognition elements to effectively bind and scavenge the reactive α-dicarbonyl species (RDS), as well as the indicator with sensitive fluorescence response in the food matrix. The magnetically driven nanorobots with excellent biosafety of endogenous dipeptides displayed a high binding capacity of 80.12 mg g-1 with ultrafast equilibrium time. Furthermore, the magnetically driven nanorobots achieved rapid removal of the RDS with the manipulation of the external magnetic field, which enabled intercepting AGEs generation without byproducts residual as well as ease-of-operation. This work provided a promising strategy with biosafety and versatility for both accurate determination and efficient removal of hazards.

Abstract
Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is the cause of the photo-thermal effect observed in topological insulator (TI) bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) nanoparticles. These plasmonic properties, which are thought to be caused by its particular topological surface state (TSS), make the material interesting for application in the field of medical diagnosis and therapy. However, to be applied, the nanoparticles have to be coated with a protective surface layer, which prevents agglomeration and dissolution in the physiological medium. In this work, we investigated the possibility of using silica as a biocompatible coating for Bi2Se3 nanoparticles, instead of the commonly used ethylene-glycol, which, as is presented in this work, is not biocompatible and alters/masks the optical properties of TI. We successfully prepared Bi2Se3 nanoparticles coated with different silica layer thicknesses. Such nanoparticles, except those with a thick, ≈200 nm silica layer, retained their optical properties. Compared to ethylene-glycol coated nanoparticles, these silica coated nanoparticles displayed an improved photo-thermal conversion, which increased with the increasing thickness of the silica layer. To reach the desired temperatures, a 10-100 times lower concentration of photo-thermal nanoparticles was needed. In vitro experiments on erythrocytes and HeLa cells showed that, unlike ethylene glycol coated nanoparticles, silica coated nanoparticles are biocompatible.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 441:129917. [PMID: 36099737 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129917] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Revised: 08/08/2022] [Accepted: 09/03/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Quick and precise recovery of palladium (Pd) from electronic waste remains a serious task, owing to the strong acid and complexity of chemical compounds in leachate. Here, bioinspired construction of magnetic nano stirring rod with radially aligned dual mesopores and abundant 8-aminoquinoline (MNSR-DM-AQ) is proposed for selective and rapid extraction of Pd(II) from highly acidic sample solutions. Benefit from the unique dual mesoporous (12.4 nm and 3.6 nm) and the stirring motion under an external magnetic field, MNSR-DM-AQ possesses enhanced adsorption capacity and kinetics, achieving 11.62 mg g-1 (97.2 % of the maximum adsorption capacity) in 15 min. Distribution coefficient (KD = 299.0 mL g-1), separation factor (α above 25.54) and concentration factor (CF = 230.2 mL g-1) reveal the excellent selectivity of MNSR-DM-AQ towards Pd(II) when comparing with the coexisting ions (Ca(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Fe(II), Mg(II), Ni(II), Pb(II), Zn(II)). The adsorption mechanisms of MNSR-DM-AQ are ion exchange and chelation due to a strong affinity between Pd(II) and N. Meanwhile, 96.82 % of the captured Pd(II) can be easily eluted within 15 min, and the adsorption capacity remains stable after five adsorption-desorption cycles. It is worthwhile to mention that MNSR-DM-AQ exhibits a high adsorption capacity of 8.39 mg g-1 from leachate of abandoned high-voltage patch capacitor, which is greatly desired in Pd(II) extraction from electronic waste.

Oleic Acid Protects Endothelial Cells from Silica-Coated Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs)-Induced Oxidative Stress and Cell Death. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23136972. [PMID: 35806014 PMCID: PMC9267005 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23136972] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2022] [Revised: 06/20/2022] [Accepted: 06/21/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have great potential for use in medicine, but they may cause side effects due to oxidative stress. In our study, we investigated the effects of silica-coated SPIONs on endothelial cells and whether oleic acid (OA) can protect the cells from their harmful effects. We used viability assays, flow cytometry, infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Our results show that silica-coated SPIONs are internalized by endothelial cells, where they increase the amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cause cell death. Exposure to silica-coated SPIONs induced accumulation of lipid droplets (LD) that was not dependent on diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT)-mediated LD biogenesis, suggesting that silica-coated SPIONs suppress LD degradation. Addition of exogenous OA promoted LD biogenesis and reduced SPION-dependent increases in oxidative stress and cell death. However, exogenous OA protected cells from SPION-induced cell damage even in the presence of DGAT inhibitors, implying that LDs are not required for the protective effect of exogenous OA. The molecular phenotype of the cells determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the destructive effect of silica-coated SPIONs and the ameliorative role of OA in the case of oxidative stress. Thus, exogenous OA protects endothelial cells from SPION-induced oxidative stress and cell death independent of its incorporation into triglycerides.

Abstract
Recently, a new family of "dendritic" mesoporous silica nanoparticles has attracted great interest with widespread applications. Despite a large number of publications (>800), the terminology of "dendritic" is ambiguous. Understanding what possible "dendritic structures" are, their formation mechanisms and the underlying structure-property relationship is fundamentally important. With the advance of characterization techniques such as electron tomography, two types of tree branch-like and flower-like structures can be distinguished, both described as "dendritic" in literature. In this review, we start with the definition of "dendritic", then provide critical analysis of reported dendritic silica nanoparticles according to their structural classification. We also update the understandings of the formation mechanisms of two types of "dendritic" nanoparticles, with a focus on how to control different structural parameters. Various applications of dendritic mesoporous nanoparticles are also reviewed with a focus in biomedical field, providing new insights into the structure-property relationship in this family of nanomaterials.

Abstract
The surface chemistry, pendent functional entities, and ease in tunability of various materials play a central role in properly coordinating with enzymes for immobilization purposes. Due to the interplay between the new wave of support matrices and enzymes, the development of robust biocatalytic constructs via protein engineering expands the practical scope and tunable catalysis functions. The concept of stabilization via functional entities manipulation, the surface that comprises functional groups, such as thiol, aldehyde, carboxylic, amine, and epoxy have been the important driving force for immobilizing purposes. Enzyme immobilization using multi-functional supports has become a powerful norm and presents noteworthy characteristics, such as selectivity, specificity, stability, resistivity, induce activity, reaction efficacy, multi-usability, high catalytic turnover, optimal yield, ease in recovery, and cost-effectiveness. There is a plethora of literature on traditional immobilization approaches, e.g., intramolecular chemical (covalent) attachment, adsorption, encapsulation, entrapment, and cross-linking. However, the existing literature is lacking state-of-the-art smart chemistry of immobilization. This review is a focused attempt to cover the literature gap of surface functional entities that interplay between support materials at large and enzyme of interest, in particular, to tailor robust biocatalysts to fulfill the growing and contemporary needs of several industrial sectors.

Abstract
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have been widely used for medicine, both in therapy and diagnosis. Their guided assembly into anisotropic structures, such as nanochains, has recently opened new research avenues; for instance, targeted drug delivery. Interestingly, magnetic nanochains do occur in nature, and they are thought to be involved in the navigation and geographic orientation of a variety of animals and bacteria, although many open questions on their formation and functioning remain. In this review, we will analyze what is known about the natural formation of magnetic nanochains, as well as the synthetic protocols to produce them in the laboratory, to conclude with an overview of medical applications and an outlook on future opportunities in this exciting research field.
