Redox-Active Cerium Fluoride Nanoparticles Selectively Modulate Cellular Response against X-ray Irradiation In Vitro. Biomedicines 2023; 12:11. [PMID: 38275372 PMCID: PMC10813610 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12010011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Ionizing radiation-induced damage in cancer and normal cells leads to apoptosis and cell death, through the intracellular oxidative stress, DNA damage and disorders of their metabolism. Irradiation doses that do not lead to the death of tumor cells can result in the emergence of radioresistant clones of these cells due to the rearrangement of metabolism and the emergence of new mutations, including those in the genes responsible for DNA repair. The search for the substances capable of modulating the functioning of the tumor cell repair system is an urgent task. Here we analyzed the effect of cerium(III) fluoride nanoparticles (CeF3 NPs) on normal (human mesenchymal stem cells-hMSC) and cancer (MCF-7 line) human cells after X-ray radiation. CeF3 NPs effectively prevent the formation of hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals in an irradiated aqueous solution, showing pronounced antioxidant properties. CeF3 NPs are able to protect hMSC from radiation-induced proliferation arrest, increasing their viability and mitochondrial membrane potential, and, conversely, inducing the cell death of MCF-7 cancer cells, causing radiation-induced mitochondrial hyperpolarization. CeF3 NPs provided a significant decrease in the number of double-strand breaks (DSBs) in hMSC, while in MCF-7 cells the number of γ-H2AX foci dramatically increased in the presence of CeF3 4 h after irradiation. In the presence of CeF3 NPs, there was a tendency to modulate the expression of most analyzed genes associated with the development of intracellular oxidative stress, cell redox status and the DNA-repair system after X-ray irradiation. Cerium-containing nanoparticles are capable of providing selective protection of hMSC from radiation-induced injuries and are considered as a platform for the development of promising clinical radioprotectors.

Abstract
Glioma is the most common intracranial malignant tumor, and its specific pathogenesis has been unclear, which has always been an unresolved clinical problem due to the limited therapeutic window of glioma. As we all know, surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy are the main treatment methods for glioma. With the development of clinical trials and traditional treatment techniques, radiotherapy for glioma has increasingly exposed defects in the treatment effect. In order to improve the bottleneck of radiotherapy for glioma, people have done a lot of work; among this, nano-radiosensitizers have offered a novel and potential treatment method. Compared with conventional radiotherapy, nanotechnology can overcome the blood–brain barrier and improve the sensitivity of glioma to radiotherapy. This paper focuses on the research progress of nano-radiosensitizers in radiotherapy for glioma.

Abstract
Luminescent Ln3+ -doped nanoparticles (NPs) functionalised with the desired organic ligand molecules for haemocompatibility studies were obtained in a one-pot synthesis. Chelated aromatic organic ligands such as isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid, ibuprofen, aspirin, 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid, 2,6-pyridine dicarboxylic acid and adenosine were applied for surface functionalisation. The modification of the nanoparticles is based on the donor-acceptor character of the ligand-nanoparticle system, which is an alternative to covalent functionalisation by peptide bonding as presented in our recent report. The aromatic groups of selected ligands absorb UV light and transfer their excited-state energy to the dopant Eu3+ ions in LaF3 and SrF2 NPs. Herein, we discuss the structural and spectroscopic characterisation of the NPs and the results of haemocompatibility studies. Flow cytometry analysis of the nanoparticles' membrane-binding is also presented.

Abstract
A coprecipitation process was utilized for the preparation of terbium fluoride nanocrystals by cerium fluoride. Silica was used to modify the surface of these core/shell nanocrystals. The synthesized CeF3:Tb@LaF3 and CeF3:Tb@LaF3@SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV/vis spectrophotometry, and photoluminescence spectrophotometry. XRD patterns showed resolved reflection planes with broad widths, confirming the nanocrystalline nature of the CeF3:Tb@LaF3@SiO2 NPs. Fourier transform infrared spectra clearly revealed a uniform, smooth silica layer encapsulating the luminescent seed core and confirmed the polycrystalline nature of the CeF3:Tb@LaF3@SiO2 NPs. The TEM result showed an average crystalline size of 18 nm, which illustrated good agreement with the XRD results. The results of photoluminescence spectrophotometry confirmed the doping of terbium ions in the CeF3 crystal lattice. The cytotoxicity results of the MTT assay showed that CeF3:Tb@LaF3@SiO2 NPs have minimum toxicity with respect to CeF3:Tb@LaF3 NPs and the control drug dasatinib on HT-29 and HepG2 cell lines. Moreover, results of inverted microscopy confirmed the nontoxic and biocompatible nature of CeF3:Tb@LaF3@SiO2 NPs. These findings show that CeF3:Tb@LaF3@SiO2 NPs are promising candidates for applications in biomedical science in the future, such as bioimaging, biolabeling, biodetection or bio-probing, labeling of cells and tissue, drug delivery, cancer therapy, and multiplexed analysis.

Abstract
Luminescent lanthanide fluoride core-shell (LaF3 :Tb3+ ,Ce3+ @SiO2 -NH2 ) nanoparticles, with acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) coated on the surface have been obtained. The synthesized products, which combine the potential located in the silica shell with the luminescent activity of the core, were characterized in detail with the use of luminescence spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods. The in vitro effects of the modified luminescent nanoparticles on human red blood cell (RBC) membrane permeability, RBC shape, and sedimentation rate were investigated to assess the hemocompatibility of the obtained compounds. This study demonstrates that LaF3 : Tb3+ 5 %, Ce3+ 10 %@SiO2 -NH2 nanoparticles with acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) coated on the surface are very good precursors for multifunctional drug-delivery systems or bio-imaging probes that can be used safely in potential biomedical applications.

Abstract
DNA aptamers have many benefits for cell imaging, such as high affinity and specificity, easiness of chemical functionalization, and low cost of production. Among known aptamers, Sgc8-aptamer was selected against acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells with a dissociation constant in a nanomolar range. The aptamer was previously used for the covalent coupling with fluorescent and magnetic nanoparticles, as well as for the fabrication of aptamer-based biosensors. Among commonly used fluorescent tags, lanthanide nanoparticles offer stable luminescence with narrow, well-resolved emission peaks and the absence of photoblinking. In other words, lanthanide nanoparticles could serve as luminescence reporters and be used in biosensing. In our study, we conjugated amino- and carboxyl-modified silica-coated terbium (III) thiacalix[4]arenesulfonate luminescent nanoparticles with Sgc8-aptamer and showed the ability of the aptamer-conjugated nanoparticles to detect leukemia cells using fluorescence microscopy. In addition, we conducted a cell viability assay and confirmed that the nanoparticles do not induce spontaneous cell apoptosis or necrosis and could be potentially used for bioimaging applications.

Abstract
Upconverting core@shell type β-NaYF4:Yb3+-Er3+@SiO2 nanorods have been obtained by a two-step synthesis process, which encompasses hydrothermal and microemulsion routes. The synthesized nanomaterial forms stable aqueous colloids and exhibits a bright dual-center emission (λex = 975 nm), i.e., upconversion luminescence of Er3+ and down-shifting emission of Yb3+, located in the first (I-BW) and the second (II-BW) biological windows of the spectral range, respectively. The intensity ratios of the emission bands of Er3+ and Yb3+ observed in the vis-near-infrared (NIR) range monotonously change with temperature, i.e., the thermalized Er3+ levels (2H11/2 → 4I15/2/4S3/2 → 4I15/2) and the nonthermally coupled Yb3+/Er3+ levels (2F5/2 → 2F7/2/4I9/2 → 4I15/2 or 4F9/2 → 4I15/2). Hence, their thermal evolutions have been correlated with temperature using the Boltzmann type distribution and second-order polynomial fits for temperature-sensing purposes, i.e., Er3+ 525/545 nm (max Sr = 1.31% K-1) and Yb3+/Er3+ 1010/810 nm (1.64% K-1) or 1010/660 nm (0.96% K-1). Additionally, a fresh chicken breast was used as a tissue imitation in the performed ex vivo experiment, showing the advantage of the use of NIR Yb3+/Er3+ bands, vs. the typically used Er3+ 525/545 nm band ratio, i.e., better penetration of the luminescence signal through the tissue in the I-BW and II-BW. Such nanomaterials can be utilized as accurate and effective, broad-range vis-NIR optical, contactless sensors of temperature.

Abstract
Mesoporous multi-layered silica-coated luminescent Y2O3:Eu nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by a urea-based decomposition process, and their surfaces were gradually modified with nanoporous and mesoporous silica layers using modified sol-gel methods. The synthesized luminescent core-shell NPs were characterized thoroughly to investigate their structural, morphological, thermal, optical, photo luminescent properties and their surface chemistry. The morphology of the core NPs were nearly spherical in shape and were nano-sized grains. The observed luminescent efficiency of the mesoporous multi-layered silica-coated luminescent core NPs was gradually reduced because of bond formation between the Y2O3:Eu core and the amorphous silica shell via YOSiOH bridges on the surface of the NPs; the bonds suppressed the non-radiative transition pathways. Biocompatibility tests on Human breast cancer cells using the 3‑(4,5‑Dimethylthiazol‑2‑yl)‑2,5‑diphenyltetrazolium bromide and lactate dehydrogenase assays indicated that the core-shell NPs were non-toxic even at high concentrations. The mesoporous SiO2 layer played a key role in perfecting the solubility, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity of the NPs. The zeta potential, surface chemistry (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), and optical absorption spectral analyses revealed the high hydrophilicity of the as-prepared core-shell NPs because of the active surface-functionalized silanol (SiOH) groups, which could potentially offer many exciting opportunities in photonic-based biomedical applications.

Abstract
Anti-Stokes luminescence of up-converting nanocrystals SrF2:Yb3+,Er3+ can be used as a high pressure optical sensor alternative to the ruby fluorescence-scale. In nanocrystalline SrF2:Yb3+,Er3+, high pressure reversibly shortens the emission lifetimes nearly linearly up to 5.29 GPa at least. Its advantage is the use of NIR (≈980 nm) radiation, highly penetrable for many materials. The shortening of up-conversion lifetimes has been attributed mainly to the changes in energy transfer rates, caused by decreased interatomic distances and increased overlap integrals between 4f electrons and the valence shells of ligand ions. The origin of high-pressure effects on the luminescence intensity, band ratio and their spectral position has been explained by the increased interactions and distortions of the crystal-field symmetry around the emitting ions in the compressed structure.

Abstract
Colloidal Mn2+-doped ZnS quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized, surface modified, and thoroughly characterized using a pool of complementary techniques. Cap exchange of the native l-cysteine coating of the QDs with dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) ligands is proposed as a strategy to produce nanocrystals with a strong phosphorescent-type emission and improved aqueous stability. Moreover, such a stable DHLA coating can facilitate further bioconjugation of these QDs to biomolecules using established reagents such as cross-linker molecules. First, a structural and morphological characterization of the l-cysteine QD core was performed by resorting to complementary techniques, including X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and microscopy tools. XRD patterns provided information about the local structure of ions within the nanocrystal structure and the number of metal atoms constituting the core of a QD. The judicious combination of the data obtained from these complementary characterization tools with the analysis of the QDs using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) allowed us to assess the number concentration of nanoparticles in an aqueous sample, a key parameter when such materials are going to be used in bioanalytical or toxicological studies. Asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) coupled online to ICP-MS detection proved to be an invaluable tool to compute the number of DHLA molecules attached to the surface of a single QD, a key feature that is difficult to estimate in nanoparticles and that critically affects the behavior of nanoparticles when entering the biological media (e.g., cellular uptake, biodistribution, or protein corona formation). This hybrid technique also allowed us to demonstrate that the elemental composition of the nanoparticle core remains unaffected after the ligand exchange process. Finally, the photostability and robustness of the DHLA-capped QDs, critical parameters for bioanalytical applications, were assessed by molecular luminescence spectroscopy.

Abstract
The luminescent GdVO4:Eu(3+)5%@SiO2@NH2 core@shell nanomaterials were obtained via co-precipitation method, followed by hydrolysis and co-condensation of silane derivatives: tetraethyl orthosilicate and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. Their effect on human erythrocytes sedimentation and on proliferation of human lung microvascular endothelial cells was examined and discussed. The luminescent nanoparticles were synthesized in the presence of polyacrylic acid or glycerin in order to minimalize the agglomeration and excessive growth of nanostructures. Surface coating with amine functionalized silica shell improved their biocompatibility, facilitated further organic conjugation and protected the internal core. Magnetic measurements revealed an enhanced T1-relaxivity for the synthesized GdVO4:Eu(3+)5% nanostructures. Structure, morphology and average grain size of the obtained nanomaterials were determined by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering analysis. The qualitative elemental composition of the nanomaterials was established using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The spectroscopic characteristic of red emitting core@shell nanophosphors was completed by measuring luminescence spectra and decays. The emission spectra revealed characteristic bands of Eu(3+) ions related to the transitions (5)D0-(7)F0,1,2,3,4 and (5)D1-(7)F1. The luminescence lifetimes consisted of two components, associated with the presence of Eu(3+) ions located at the surface of the crystallites and in the bulk.

Abstract
SrTiO3 nanoparticles co-doped with a broad concentration range of Er(3+) and Yb(3+) ions were fabricated using the citric route as a function of annealing temperatures of 500-1000 °C. The effect of a broad co-dopant concentration range and sintering temperature on structural and up-conversion properties was investigated in detail by X-ray diffraction techniques and optical spectroscopy. The TEM technique was used to estimate the mean particle size, which was around 30 nm for the inorganic product annealed at 600 °C. Up-conversion emission color tuning was achieved by particle size control. Power dependence of the green and red emissions was found to be a result of temperature determination in the operating range of SrTiO3 nanoparticles and a candidate for the fast and local microscopic heating and heat release induced by IR irradiation. The color changed from white-red-yellow-green upon an increase of sintering temperature, inducing changes in the surface-to-volume ratio and the number of optically active ions in particle surface regions. The cytotoxic activity of nanoparticles on human red blood cells was investigated, showing no harmful effects up to a particle concentration of 0.1 mg ml(-1). The cytotoxic response of a colloidal suspension of nanoparticles to RBC cells was connected with the strong affinity of SrTiO3 particles to the cell membranes, blocking the transport of important biological solutes.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanoparticles exhibiting red or green luminescence properties and magnetism were synthesized and thoroughly analyzed. The hydrothermal method was used for the synthesis of Eu3+- or Tb3+-doped GdF3-, NaGdF4-, and BaGdF5-based nanocrystalline materials. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the samples confirmed the desired compositions of the materials. Transmission electron microscope images revealed the different morphologies of the products, including the nanocrystal sizes, which varied from 12 nm in the case of BaGdF5-based nanoparticles to larger structures with dimensions exceeding 300 nm. All of the samples presented luminescence under ultraviolet irradiation, as well as when the samples were in the form of water colloids. The highest luminescence was observed for BaGdF5-based materials. The obtained nanoparticles exhibited paramagnetism along with probable evidence of superparamagnetic behavior at low temperatures. The particles' magnetic characteristics were also preserved for samples in the form of a suspension in distilled water. The cytotoxicity studies against the human erythrocytes indicated that the synthesized nanoparticles are non-toxic because they did not cause the red blood cells shape changes nor did they alter their membrane structure and permeabilization.
