Abstract
Molybdenum-based nanosheets (NSMoS2) are increasingly applied in various fields and undergoing relevant risk evaluations on subjectively hypothesized toxicity pathways. However, risk assessment should be unbiased and focus on appropriate end points to avoid biased prescreening. Here, we developed an adverse biological outcome screening strategy based on nontargeted functional protein profiles in earthworm (Eisenia fetida) immune cells exposed to NSMoS2 and their ionic counterpart (Na2MoO4). Through this framework, the apoptosis-related processes with distinct mechanisms were rapidly identified and thoroughly validated phenotypically. Specifically, upon exposure to 50 μg Mo/mL Na2MoO4, cellular signaling and energy homeostasis were disrupted within the transcription-translation biological chain. The autophagic pathway was activated, which, together with energy deprivation, phenotypically induced significant autophagy that ultimately led to apoptosis. In contrast, NSMoS2, tested at the same concentration, caused a reprogramming of apoptotic gene and protein expressions. Transcriptome plasticity facilitated the endocytic-adaptive transcriptional profile characterized by cytoskeleton remodeling and lysosome organization/movement under NSMoS2 exposure. Subcellular dynamics further revealed NSMoS2-induced lysosomal damage with a time-sensitive physiological window, ultimately mediating apoptosis. These findings provide a mechanistic and visual understanding of the distinct risk profile of NSMoS2 compared to molybdate, highlighting the importance of integrating nontargeted screening and phenotypic validation in early risk warning.

Abstract
In recent years, advances in nanotechnology have significantly influenced electronics manufacturing, industrial processes, and medical research. Various industries have seen a surge in the use of nanomaterials. However, several researchers have raised the alarm about the toxicological nature of nanomaterials, which appear to be quite different from their crude forms. This altered nature can be attributed to their unique physicochemical profile. They can adversely affect human health and the environment. Nanomaterials that have been released into the environment tend to accumulate over time and can cause a significant impact on the ecosystem and organisms with adverse health effects. Increased use of nanoparticles has led to increased human exposure in their daily lives, making them more vulnerable to nanoparticle toxicity. Because of their small size, nanomaterials can readily cross biological membranes and enter cells, tissues, and organs. Therefore, the effect of nanomaterials on the human environment is of particular concern. The toxicological effects of nanomaterials and their mechanisms of action are being researched worldwide. Technological advances also support monitoring new nanomaterials marketed for industrial and household purposes. It is a challenging area because of the exceptional physicochemical properties of nanomaterials. This updated review focuses on the diverse toxicological perspective of nanomaterials. We have discussed the use of different types of nanoparticles and their physiochemical properties responsible for toxicity, routes of exposure, bio-distribution, and mechanism of toxicity. The review also includes various in vivo and in vitro methods of assessing the toxicity of nanomaterials. Finally, this review will provide a detailed insight into nano material-induced toxicological response, which can be beneficial in designing safe and effective nanoparticles.

Abstract
The antioxidant capabilities of nanoparticles are contingent upon various factors, including their shape, size, and chemical composition. Herein, novel Nd-doped CeO2 nanoparticles were synthesized and the neodymium content was varied to investigate the synergistic impact on the antioxidant properties of CeO2 nanoparticles. Incorporating Nd3+ induced changes in lattice parameters and significantly altered the morphology from nanoparticles to nanorods. The biological activity of Nd-doped CeO2 was examined against pathogenic bacterial strains, breast cancer cell lines, and antioxidant models. The antibacterial and anticancer activities of nanoparticles were not observed, which could be associated with the Ce3+/Ce4+ ratio. Notably, the incorporation of neodymium improved the antioxidant capacity of CeO2. Machine learning techniques were employed to forecast the antioxidant activity to enhance understanding and predictive capabilities. Among these models, the random forest model exhibited the highest accuracy at 96.35%, establishing it as a robust computational tool for elucidating the biological behavior of Nd-doped CeO2 nanoparticles. This study presents the first exploration of the influence of Nd3+ on the structural, optical, and biological attributes of CeO2, contributing valuable insights and extending the application of machine learning in predicting the therapeutic efficacy of inorganic nanomaterials.

Abstract
Rare earth nanomaterials (RE NMs), which are based on rare earth elements, have emerged as remarkable biomaterials for use in bone regeneration. The effects of RE NMs on osteogenesis, such as promoting the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, have been investigated. However, the contributions of the properties of RE NMs to bone regeneration and their interactions with various cell types during osteogenesis have not been reviewed. Here, we review the crucial roles of the physicochemical and biological properties of RE NMs and focus on their osteogenic mechanisms. RE NMs directly promote the proliferation, adhesion, migration, and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. They also increase collagen secretion and mineralization to accelerate osteogenesis. Furthermore, RE NMs inhibit osteoclast formation and regulate the immune environment by modulating macrophages and promote angiogenesis by inducing hypoxia in endothelial cells. These effects create a microenvironment that is conducive to bone formation. This review will help researchers overcome current limitations to take full advantage of the osteogenic benefits of RE NMs and will suggest a potential approach for further osteogenesis research.

Abstract
Biofilms adhering to different surfaces have significant negative impacts in various fields. Cerium oxide nanoparticles can serve as mimics of haloperoxidase for biological biofilm inhibition applications. The regulation of the exposed facet of CeO2 nanoparticles influences their efficiency in various catalytic processes. However, there is still a lack of systematic studies on the facet-dependent haloperoxidase-like activity of CeO2. In the present study, the facet-dependent haloperoxidase activities and antibiofilm performance of CeO2 nanoparticles were elucidated through experiment analysis and density function theory calculation. The as-prepared CeO2 nanoparticles inhibited bacterial survival and catalyzed the oxidative bromination of quorum sensing signaling molecules, achieving biofilm inhibition performance. The antibacterial and biofilm formation suppression abilities were consistent with their haloperoxidase activities. The {111}- and {110}-facet CeO2 nanopolyhedra, as well as the {110}- and {100}-facet CeO2 nanorods, which had higher haloperoxidase activity showed better antibiofilm performance than the {100}-facet CeO2 cubes. The present findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the facet-dependent haloperoxidase-like activity of CeO2. Furthermore, engineering CeO2 morphologies with different crystal facets may represent a novel method for significantly adjusting their haloperoxidase-like activity.

Abstract
Aluminum hydroxide adjuvants are widely used in human vaccines, such as diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccines. The adsorption of antigens on aluminum hydroxide adjuvants determines the immune boosting effect of vaccines, but it is not clear how changes in physicochemical properties resulting from the production and formulation processes affect the adsorption of aluminum hydroxide adjuvants with antigens. In this study, the commercial aluminum hydroxide adjuvant Alhydrogel® was pretreated by commonly used processes such as autoclaving and calcination, and the changes of aluminum hydroxide adjuvant in physicochemical properties during the treatment were then comprehensively characterized. The adsorption of ovalbumin (OVA) with treated Alhydrogel®, was also investigated, it was found that the decrease in specific surface area caused by the autoclaving process reduced the adsorptive capacity of the antigen, and the adsorptive strength of antigen was decreased only when the surface hydroxyl groups and chemically bound water of adjuvant were reduced by calcination. These findings help to optimize the production and formulation process of adjuvants for the rational regulation of antigen adsorption in vaccines.

Abstract
Textiles and nonwovens (including those used in ventilation systems as filters) are currently one of the main sources of patient cross-infection. Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) affect 5-10% of patients and stand as the tenth leading cause of death. Therefore, the development of new methods for creating functional nanostructured coatings with antibacterial and antiviral properties on the surfaces of textiles and nonwoven materials is crucial for modern medicine. Antimicrobial filter technology must be high-speed, low-energy and safe if its commercialization and mass adoption are to be successful. Cerium oxide nanoparticles can act as active components in these coatings due to their high antibacterial activity and low toxicity. This paper focuses on the elaboration of a high-throughput and resource-saving method for the deposition of cerium oxide nanoparticles onto nonwoven fibrous material for use in air-conditioning filters. The proposed spraying technique is based on the use of an aerodynamic emitter and simultaneous suction. Cerium oxide nanoparticles have successfully been deposited onto the filter materials used in air conditioning systems; the antibacterial activity of the ceria-modified filters exceeded 4.0.

Abstract
Wound care and treatment can be critical from a clinical standpoint. While different strategies for the management and treatment of skin wounds have been developed, the limitations inherent in the current approaches necessitate the development of more effective alternative strategies. Advances in tissue engineering have resulted in the development of novel promising approaches for accelerating wound healing. The use of various biomaterials capable of accelerating the regeneration of damaged tissue is critical in tissue engineering. In this regard, cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) have recently received much attention because of their excellent biological properties, such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and angiogenic features. The incorporation of CeO2 NPs into various polymer-based scaffolds developed for wound healing applications has led to accelerated wound healing due to the presence of CeO2 NPs. This paper discusses the structure and functions of the skin, the wound healing process, different methods for the synthesis of CeO2 NPs, the biological properties of CeO2 NPs, the role of CeO2 NPs in wound healing, the use of scaffolds containing CeO2 NPs for wound healing applications, and the potential toxicity of CeO2 NPs.

The enzyme-like activity of metal oxide nanoparticles is governed by a number of factors, including their size, shape, surface chemistry and substrate affinity. For CeO2 nanoparticles, one of the most prominent inorganic nanozymes that have diverse enzymatic activities, the size effect remains poorly understood. The low-temperature hydrothermal treatment of ceric ammonium nitrate aqueous solutions made it possible to obtain CeO2 aqueous sols with different particle sizes (2.5, 2.8, 3.9 and 5.1 nm). The peroxidase-like activity of ceria nanoparticles was assessed using the chemiluminescent method in different biologically relevant buffer solutions with an identical pH value (phosphate buffer and Tris-HCl buffer, pH of 7.4). In the phosphate buffer, doubling CeO2 nanoparticles' size resulted in a two-fold increase in their peroxidase-like activity. The opposite effect was observed for the enzymatic activity of CeO2 nanoparticles in the phosphate-free Tris-HCl buffer. The possible reasons for the differences in CeO2 enzyme-like activity are discussed.

Abstract
Layered quasi-triangular Ce(OH)CO3 assembled from primary nanoparticles was synthesized via a solvothermal method and converted into CeO2 abrasive particles by calcination at 800-1000 °C. With the increase of calcination temperature, the primary particle size increased and the microstructure, mechanical hardness, and chemical activity of the CeO2 particles changed, thus affecting the polishing performance. The calcined products obtained at 800, 850, and 900 °C maintained the layered edge structure of the Ce(OH)CO3 precursor and had a relatively high specific surface area and surface Ce3+ concentration. The samples calcined at 950 and 1000 °C lost the layered structure due to the large-scale melting of the primary particles, and their surface chemical activity decreased. The polishing experiments on K9 glass showed that, with the calcination temperature rising from 800 to 1000 °C, the material removal rate (MRR) first increased and then decreased sharply. The initial increase of MRR was attributed to the increase of mechanical hardness of the layered quasi-triangular CeO2, and the subsequent decrease of MRR was related to the decrease in surface chemical activity and disappearance of the layered edge structure. The product calcined at 900 °C had the highest MRR and best surface quality after polishing due to the layered edge structure and optimal match of chemical activity and mechanical hardness.

Abstract
Graphene-family nanomaterials (GFNs) are revolutionary new nanomaterials that have attracted significant attention in the field of nanomaterials, but the ensuing problems lie in the potential threats to public health and the ecosystem caused by these nanomaterials. From the perspective of GFN-related health risk assessments, this study reviews the current status of GFN-induced pathological lung events with a focus on the damage caused to different biological moieties (molecular, cellular, tissue, and organ) and the mechanistic relationships between different toxic endpoints. These multiple sites of damage were matched with existing adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) in an online knowledge base to obtain available molecular initiation events (MIEs), key events (KEs), and adverse outcomes (AOs). Among them, the MIEs were discussed in combination with the structure-activity relationship due to the correlation between toxicity and physical and chemical properties of GFNs. Based on the collection of information regarding MIEs, Kes, and AOs in addition to upstream and downstream causal extrapolation, the AOP framework for GFN-induced pulmonary toxicity was developed, highlighting the possible mechanisms of GFN-induced lung damage. This review intended to combine AOP with classic toxicological methods with a view to rapidly and accurately establishing a nanotoxicology infrastructure so as to contribute to public health risk assessment strategies through iteration from and animal models up to the population level.

Abstract
The existing diagnosis and treatment modalities have major limitations related to their precision and capability to understand several stages of disease development. A superior therapeutic system consists of a multifunctional approach in early diagnosis of the disease with a simultaneous progressive cure, using a precise medical approach towards complex treatment. These challenges can be addressed via nanotheranostics and explore suitable approaches to improve health care. Nanotechnology in combination with theranostics as an unconventional platform paved the way for developing novel strategies and modalities leading to diagnosis and therapy for complex disease conditions, ranging from acute to chronic levels. Among the metal nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles are being widely used for theranostics due to their inherent non-toxic nature and plasmonic properties. The unique optical and chemical properties of plasmonic metal nanoparticles along with theranostics have led to a promising era of plausible early detection of disease conditions, and they enable real-time monitoring with enhanced non-invasive or minimally invasive imaging of several ailments. This review aims to highlight the improvement and advancement brought to nanotheranostics by gold nanoparticles in the past decade. The clinical use of the metal nanoparticles in nanotheranostics is explained, along with the future perspectives on addressing the key applications related to diagnostics and therapeutics, respectively. The scope of gold nanoparticles and their realistic potential to design a sophisticated theranostic system is discussed in detail, along with their implications in clinical advancements which are the needs of the hour. The review concluded with the challenges, opportunities, and implications on translational potential of using gold nanoparticles in nanotheranostics.

Abstract
Exposure of crops to CeO2 nanoparticles (nCeO2) in agricultural environments impact crop quality and human health. In this regard, the effects of selenium nanoparticles (nSe) on the yield and quality of Vigna radiata (L.) exposed to nCeO2 were investigated. The experiment was carried out as a factorial with two factors: NPs (nCeO2, and nSe) as factor one and concentrations as factor two [(0, 250, 500 and 1000 mg/L nCeO2; 0, 25, 50 and 75 mg/L nSe)]. Nanoparticles were foliar applied to 45-day old mung bean shoot in two steps and one-week interval. At 250-1000 mg/L, nCeO2 increased P, protein and Ce accumulation in grain. Additionally, at 1000 mg/L, the nCeO2, significantly decreased seed number, yield, Fe, and Zn storage in seeds. Conversely, at 25 and 50 mg/L, nSe stimulated the growth and yield of mung bean, and significantly increased P, Fe, Zn, and Se in seeds, but reduced the protein content in seeds. The Se25+Ce250 and Se50+Ce250 significantly increased pod number, seed number, grain weight, yield, Fe, Zn and Se storage in grains. In contrast, the Ce accumulation in seeds decreased in all combination treatments (nCeO2 + nSe) compared to their respective single nCeO2 treatments. Moreover, in the plants exposed to high nCeO2 concentrations, nSe application resulted in undamaged vacuoles, less starch granules' accumulation, significant yield improvement, and elevated Fe, Se, and Zn in seeds. Data suggest that selenium nanoparticles prevent nCeO2 stress in mung bean and improve grain production and quality.

Abstract
In general, wound healing is a highly ordered process, with distinct phases of inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. However, among diabetic patients, the progression through these phases is often impeded by increased level of oxidative stress and persistent inflammation. Our previous studies demonstrated that cerium oxide nanoparticles (CNPs) conjugated with therapeutic microRNA146a (miR146a) could effectively enhance wound healing by targeting the NFκB pathway, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. In the present study, we consider the potential effects of nanomaterial surface-faceting and morphology on the efficacy of miRNA delivery. Compared with octahedral-CNPs and cubic-CNPs, rod-CNPs exhibited higher loading capacity. In addition, in comparing the influence of particle morphology on wound healing efficacy, several markers for bioactivity were evaluated and ascribed to the combined effects of the gene delivery and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging properties. In the cellular treatment study, rod-CNP-miR146a displayed the greatest miR146a delivery into cells. However, the reduction of IL-6 was only observed in the octahedral-CNP-miR146a, suggesting that the efficacy of the miRNA delivery is a result of the combination of various factors. Overall, our results give enlightenments into the relative delivery efficiency of the CNPs with different morphology enhancing miRNA delivery efficacy.

Abstract
With the rapid development of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in biomedical applications, their biocompatibility and cytotoxicity need to be evaluated properly. Recently, it has been demonstrated that inflammasome activation may be a vital contributing factor for the development of biological responses induced by ENMs. Among the inflammasome family, NLRP3 inflammasome has received the most attention because it directly interacts with ENMs to cause the inflammatory effects. However, the pathways that link ENMs to NLRP3 inflammasome have not been thoroughly summarized. Thus, we reviewed recent findings on the role of major ENMs properties in modulating NLRP3 inflammasome activation, both in vitro and in vivo, to provide a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms. In addition, the interactions between ENMs and NLRP3 inflammasome activation are summarized, which may advance our understanding of safer designs of nanomaterials and ENM-induced adverse health effects.

Antifouling coatings can reduce algal growth while preserving coral settlement. Sci Rep 2022; 12:15935.

Abstract
In the early stages after larval settlement, coral spat can be rapidly overgrown and outcompeted by algae, reducing overall survival for coral reef replenishment and supply for restoration programs. Here we investigated three antifouling (AF) coatings for their ability to inhibit algal fouling on coral settlement plugs, a commonly-used restoration substrate. Plugs were either fully or partially coated with the AF coatings and incubated in mesocosm systems with partial recirculation for 37 days to track fouling succession. In addition, settlement of Acropora tenuis larvae was measured to determine whether AF coatings were a settlement deterrent. Uncoated control plugs became heavily fouled, yielding only 4–8% bare substrate on upper surfaces after 37 days. During this period, an encapsulated dichlorooctylisothiazolinone (DCOIT)-coating was most effective in reducing fouling, yielding 61–63% bare substrate. Antiadhesive and cerium dioxide (CeO2−x) nanoparticle (NP) coatings were less effective, yielding 11–17% and 2% bare substrate, respectively. Average settlement of A. tenuis larvae on the three types of AF-coated plugs did not statistically differ from settlement on uncoated controls. However, settlement on the NP-coating was generally the highest and was significantly higher than settlement found on the antiadhesive- and DCOIT-coating. Furthermore, on plugs only partially-covered with AF coatings, larval settlement on coated NP- areas was significantly higher than settlement on coated antiadhesive- and DCOIT-areas. These results demonstrate that AF coatings can reduce fouling intensity on biologically-relevant timescales while preserving robust levels of coral settlement. This represents an important step towards reducing fine-scale competition with benthic fouling organisms in coral breeding and propagation.

Abstract
Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) therapy, a promising therapeutic strategy for neurodegenerative diseases, has a huge challenge to ensure high survival rate and neuronal differentiation rate. Cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles exhibit multienzyme mimetic activities and have shown the capability of regulating reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is a pivotal mediator for intracellular redox homeostasis in NPCs, regulating biological processes including differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. In the present study, the role of facet-dependent CeO2-mediated redox homeostasis in regulating self-renewal and differentiation of NPCs is reported for the first time. The cube-, rod-, and octahedron-shaped CeO2 nanozymes with different facets are prepared. Among the mentioned nanozymes, the cube enclosed by the (100) facet exhibits the highest CAT-like activity, causing it to provide superior protection to NPCs from oxidative stress induced by H2O2; meanwhile, the octahedron enclosed by the (111) facet with the lowest CAT-like activity induces the most ROS production in ReNcell CX cells, which promotes neuronal differentiation by activated AKT/GSK-3β/β-catenin pathways. A further mechanistic study indicated that the electron density of the surface Ce atoms changed continuously with different crystal facets, which led to their different CAT-like activity and modulation of redox homeostasis in NPCs. Altogether, the different surface chemistry and atomic architecture of active sites on CeO2 exert modulation of redox homeostasis and the fate of NPCs.

Abstract
CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) have been shown to cause lung fibrosis, however, the exact underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. In this study, we have conducted a mass spectrometry-based global metabolomic analysis of human bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B cells treated by CeO2 NPs with different aspect ratios and assessed their toxicity on the bronchial epithelial cells by various cell-based functional assays. Although CeO2 NPs at doses ranging from 12.5 μg/mL to 25 μg/mL displayed low cytotoxicity on the bronchial epithelial cells, the metabolomic analysis revealed a number of metabolites in the cellular metabolic pathways of sphingosine-1-phosphate, fatty acid oxidation, inflammation, etc. were significantly altered by CeO2 NPs, especially those with high aspect ratios. More importantly, the robustness of metabolomics findings was further successfully validated in mouse models upon acute and chronic exposures to CeO2 NPs. Mechanistically, CeO2 NPs upregulated transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1) levels in BEAS-2B cells in an aspect ratio-dependent manner through enhancing the expression of early growth response protein 1 (EGR-1). In addition, both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that CeO2 NPs significantly induced the expression of sphingosine kinase 1 (SHPK1), phosphorylated Smad2/3 and lung fibrosis markers. Moreover, targeting SPHK1, TGFβ receptor or Smad3 phosphorylation significantly attenuated the fibrosis-promoting effects of CeO2 NPs, and SPHK1-S1P pathway exerted a greater effect on the TGF-β1-mediated lung fibrosis compared to the conventional Smad2/3 pathway. Collectively, our studies have identified the metabolomic changes in BEAS-2B cells exposed to CeO2 NPs with different aspect ratios and revealed the subtle changes in metabolic activities that traditional approaches might have missed. More importantly, we have discovered a previously unknown molecular mechanism underlying CeO2 NP-induced lung fibrosis with different aspect ratios, shedding new insights on the environmental hazard potential of CeO2 NPs.

Tumor-microenvironment triggered signal-to-noise boosting nanoprobes for NIR-IIb fluorescence imaging guided tumor surgery and NIR-II photothermal therapy. Biomaterials 2022; 287:121636. [PMID: 35724539 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121636] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2022] [Revised: 06/07/2022] [Accepted: 06/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
High quantum yield quantum dots (QDs) with the emission in the sub-second near infrared window (NIR-IIb, 1500-1700 nm) can afford higher resolution, a deeper penetration depth and zero auto-fluorescence for bio-imaging. However, low tumor accumulation, the rapid renal clearance and potential toxicity impeding their biomedical applications. Here, we report a tumor microenvironment responsive hollowed virus-bionic MnO2 nanoshell with IR1061 loading in the cavity and QDs (PbS@CdS) anchoring on the surface for precise NIR-IIb fluorescence imaging guided tumor surgery and efficient NIR-II photothermal therapy. This QDs based nanoprobe could efficiently adhere on tumor cells to realize efficient tumor tissue accumulation. NIR-IIb fluorescence of tumor margin could be successfully delineating after extracellular weak acid triggered MnO2 biodegradation for IR1061 release with remarkable NIR-IIb signal-to-noise boosting. Then, it could facilitate complete dissection of various tumor models with the assistance of NIR-IIb fluorescence imaging. Moreover, the fascinating efficacy for micro-metastasis eradication via NIR-II photothermal effects can be achieved under NIR-IIb fluorescence imaging guidance. Specifically, in combination with negligible system toxicity, our nanoprobes showed great potential as a versatile NIR-IIb fluorescent imaging platform for precise tumor surgery and tumor therapy guidance for future clinical translation.

Abstract
Gout is a self-limiting inflammatory arthritis mediated by the precipitation of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals that further activate the NLRP3 inflammasome and initiate a cascade of inflammatory events. However, the key physicochemical properties of MSU crystals that determine the acute phase of gout have not been fully identified. In this study, a library of engineered MSU crystals with well-controlled size and shape is designed to explore their proinflammatory potentials in mediating the pathological progress of gout. It is demonstrated that medium-sized long aspect ratio MSU crystals induce more prominent IL-1β production in vitro due to enhanced cellular uptake and the production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS). The characteristics of MSU crystals are also correlated with their inflammatory potentials in both acute peritonitis and arthritis models. Furthermore, 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) is demonstrated to inhibit MSU-induced oxidative burst by removing plasma membrane cholesterol. As a result, it attenuates the inflammatory responses both in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is shown to alleviate acute gouty symptom by suppressing oxidative stress. This study identifies the key physicochemical properties of MSU crystals that mediate the pathogenesis of gout, which sheds light on novel design strategies for the intervention of gout.

Mechanistic elucidation of freezing-induced surface decomposition of aluminum oxyhydroxide adjuvant. iScience 2022; 25:104456.

Abstract
The freezing-induced aggregation of aluminum-based (Alum) adjuvants has been considered as the most important cause of reduced vaccine potency. However, the intrinsic properties that determine the functionality of Alum after freezing have not been elucidated. In this study, we used engineered aluminum oxyhydroxide nanoparticles (AlOOH NPs) and demonstrated that cryogenic freezing led to the mechanical pressure-mediated reduction of surface hydroxyl. The sugar-based surfactant, octyl glucoside (OG), was demonstrated to shield AlOOH NPs from the freezing-induced loss of hydroxyl content and the aggregation through the reduction of recrystallization-induced mechanical stress. As a result, the antigenic adsorption property of frozen AlOOH NPs could be effectively protected. When hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) was adjuvanted with OG-protected frozen AlOOH NPs in mice, the loss of immunogenicity was inhibited. These findings provide insights into the freezing-induced surface decomposition of Alum and can be translated to design of protectants to improve the stability of vaccines. The freezing stress led to the destruction of surface hydroxyl group on AlOOH NPs Octyl glucoside protected AlOOH NPs from freezing-induced surface decomposition Octyl glucoside protected vaccines from freezing-induced loss of immunogenicity

Abstract
Aluminum oxyhydroxide (AlOOH) adjuvants are widely used in human vaccines. However, the interaction mechanisms at the material-bio interface, and further understandings on physicochemical property-dependent modulation of the immune responses still remain uncertain. Herein, a library of AlOOH nanorods with well-defined aspect ratios is designed to explore the mechanisms of adjuvanticity. The aspect ratios of AlOOH nanorods were demonstrated to be intrinsically modulated by the hydroxide supersaturation level during crystal growth, leading to the differences in surface free energy (SFE). As a result, higher aspect ratio AlOOH nanoadjuvants with lower SFE exhibited more hydrophobic surface, resulting in more membrane depolarization, cellular uptake and dendritic cell (DC) activation. By using hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) virus-like particles (VLPs) or SARS-CoV-2 spike protein receptor-binding domain (RBD) as model antigens, AlOOH nanorods with higher aspect ratio were determined to elicit more potent humoral immune responses, which could be attributed to the enhanced DC activation and the efficient antigen trafficking to the draining lymph nodes. Our findings highlight the critical role of aspect ratio of AlOOH nanorods in modulating adjuvanticity, and further provide a design strategy for engineered nanoadjuvants for prophylactic vaccines.

Abstract
Positive resection margin frequently exists in breast-conserving treatment (BCT) of early-stage breast cancer, and insufficient therapeutic efficacy is common during radiotherapy (RT) in advanced breast cancer patients. Moreover, a multimodal nanotherapy platform is urgently required for precision cancer medicine. Therefore, a biodegradable cyclic RGD pentapeptide/hollow virus-like gadolinium (Gd)-based indocyanine green (R&HV-Gd@ICG) nanoprobe is developed to improve fluorescence image-guided surgery and breast cancer RT efficacy. R&HV-Gd exhibits remarkably improved aqueous stability, tumor retention, and target specificity of ICG, and achieves outstanding magnetic resonance/second near-infrared (NIR-II) window multimodal imaging in vivo. The nanoprobe-based NIR-II fluorescence image guidance facilitates complete tumor resection, improves the overall mouse survival rate, and effectively discriminates between benign and malignant breast tissues in spontaneous breast cancer transgenic mice (area under the curve = 0.978; 95% confidence interval: 0.952, 1.0). Moreover, introducing the nanoprobe to tumors generated more reactive oxygen species under X-ray irradiation, improved RT sensitivity, and reduced mouse tumor progression. Notably, the nanoprobe is biodegradable in vivo and exhibits accelerated bodily clearance, which is expected to reduce the potential long-term inorganic nanoparticle toxicity. Overall, the nanoprobe provides a basis for developing precision breast cancer treatment strategies.

Abstract
Formaldehyde (HCHO) sensing plays a critical role for indoor environment monitoring in smart home systems. Inspired by the unique hierarchical structure of cactus, we have prepared a ZnO/ANS-rGO composite for room-temperature (RT) HCHO sensing, through assembling hollow cactus-like ZnO nanorods with 5-aminonaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid (ANS)-modified graphene nanosheets in a facile and template-free manner. Interestingly, it was found that the ZnO morphology could be simply tuned from flower clusters to hollow cactus-like nanostructures, along with the increase of the reaction time during the assembly process. The ZnO/ANS-rGO-based sensors exhibited superior RT HCHO-sensing performance with an ultrahigh response (68%, 5 ppm), good repeatability, long-term stability, and an outstanding practical limit of detection (LOD: 0.25 ppm) toward HCHO, which is the lowest practical LOD reported so far. Furthermore, for the first time, a 30 m3 simulation test cabinet was adapted to evaluate the practical gas-sensing performance in an indoor environment. As a result, an instantaneous response of 5% to 0.4 ppm HCHO was successfully achieved in the simulation test. The corresponding sensing mechanism was interpreted from two aspects including high charge transport capability of ANS-rGO and the distinct gas adsorbability derived from nanostructures, respectively. The combination of a biomimetic hierarchical structure and supramolecular assembly provides a promising strategy to design HCHO-sensing materials with high practicability.

Abstract
Endocytosis, as one of the main ways for nanostructures enter cells, is affected by several aspects, and shape is an especially critical aspect during the endocytosis of nanostructures. However, it has remained challenging to capture the dynamic internalization behaviors of rod-shaped nanostructures while also probing the mechanical aspects of the internalization. Here, using the atomic force microscopy-based force tracing technique, transmission electron microscopy, and molecular dynamic simulation, we mapped the detailed internalization behaviors of rod-shaped nanostructures with different aspect ratios at the single-particle level. We found that the gold nanorod is endocytosed in a noncontinuous and force-rebound rotation manner, herein named "intermittent rotation". The force tracing test indicated that the internalization force (∼81 pN, ∼108 pN, and ∼157 pN) and time (∼0.56 s, ∼0.66 s, and ∼1.14 s for a 12.10 nm × 11.96 nm gold nanosphere and 26.15 nm × 13.05 nm and 48.71 nm × 12.45 nm gold nanorods, respectively) are positively correlated with the aspect ratios. However, internalization speed is negatively correlated with internalization time, irrespective of the aspect ratio. Further, the energy analysis suggested that intermittent rotation from the horizontal to vertical direction can reduce energy dissipation during the internalization process. Thus, to overcome the energy barrier of internalization, the number and angle of rotation increases with aspect ratios. Our findings provide critical missing evidence of rod-shaped nanostructure's internalization, which is essential for fundamentally understanding the internalization mechanism in living cells.

Abstract
CeO2 with the reversible Ce3+/Ce4+ redox pair exhibits multiple enzyme-like catalytic performance, which has been recognized as a promising nanozyme with potentials for disease diagnosis and treatments. Tailorable surface physicochemical properties of various CeO2 catalysts with controllable sizes, morphologies, and surface states enable a rich surface chemistry for their interactions with various molecules and species, thus delivering a wide variety of catalytic behaviors under different conditions. Despite the significant progress made in developing CeO2-based nanozymes and their explorations for practical applications, their catalytic activity and specificity are still uncompetitive to their counterparts of natural enzymes under physiological environments. With the attempt to provide the insights on the rational design of highly performed CeO2 nanozymes, this review focuses on the recent explorations on the catalytic mechanisms of CeO2 with multiple enzyme-like performance. Given the detailed discussion and proposed perspectives, we hope this review can raise more interest and stimulate more efforts on this multi-disciplinary field.

Abstract
Airborne fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is known to cause respiratory inflammation such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung fibrosis. NLRP3 inflammasome activation has been implicated in these diseases; however, due to the complexity in PM2.5 compositions, it is difficult to differentiate the roles of the components in triggering this pathway. We collected eight real-life PM2.5 samples for a comparative analysis of their effects on NLRP3 inflammasome activation and lung fibrosis. In vitro assays showed that although the PM2.5 particles did not induce significant cytotoxicity at the dose range of 12.5 to 100 µg/mL, they induced potent TNF-α and IL-1β production in PMA differentiated THP-1 human macrophages and TGF-β1 production in BEAS-2B human bronchial epithelial cells. At the dose of 100 µg/mL, PM2.5 induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation by inducing lysosomal damage and cathepsin B release, leading to IL-1β production. This was confirmed by using NLRP3- and ASC-deficient cells as well as a cathepsin B inhibitor, ca-074 ME. Administration of PM2.5 via oropharyngeal aspiration at 2 mg/kg induced significant TGF-β1 production in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and collagen deposition in the lung at 21 days post-exposure, suggesting PM2.5 has the potential to induce pulmonary fibrosis. The ranking of in vitro IL-1β production correlates well with the in vivo total cell count, TGF-β1 production, and collagen deposition. In summary, we demonstrate that the PM2.5 is capable of inducing NLRP3 inflammasome activation, which triggers a series of cellular responses in the lung to induce fibrosis.

Abstract
Air pollution is becoming severe environment factor affecting human health. More and more research has indicated that fine particulate matter (PM2.5) plays a critical role in causing pulmonary inflammation or fibrosis, which potentially is ascribed to the activation of nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. However, the underlying property-activity relationship between the physicochemical properties of PM2.5 and their activation of NLRP3 inflammasome remains unclear. Herein, various ways, such as metal chelation, organic extraction, ROS consumption, charge neutralization and particle dispersion, were applied to interfere with the effects of metal ion, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), reactive oxygen species (ROS), charge and size. It was found that aggregated size and PAHs could activate the NLRP3 inflammasome through lysosome rupture and potassium efflux, respectively. Metal ion, PAHs and surface ROS could also activate the NLRP3 inflammasome through mitochondrial ROS production. However, neutralization of PM2.5 with the negative surface charge could not relieve the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome. Furthermore, oropharyngeal aspiration of various modified PM2.5 were adopted to explore their effects on lung fibrosis, which showed the consistent results with those in cellular levels. Removal of metal ion, PAHs and ROS as well as reduction of size of PM2.5 could reduce collagen deposition in the lung tissue of mice, while the charge neutralization of PM2.5 increased this collagen deposition. This study provides great insights to clarify the property-activity relationship of PM2.5.

Abstract
In the drug delivery field, there is beyond doubt that the shape of micro- and nanoparticles (M&NPs) critically affects their biological fate. Herein, following an introduction describing recent technological advances for designing nonspherical M&NPs, we highlight the role of particle shape in cell capture, subcellular distribution, intracellular drug delivery, and cytotoxicity. Then, we discuss theoretical approaches for understanding the effect of particle shape on internalization by the cell membrane. Subsequently, recent advances on shape-dependent behaviors of M&NPs in the systemic circulation are detailed. In particular, the interaction of M&NPs with blood proteins, biodistribution, and circulation under flow conditions are analyzed. Finally, the hurdles and future directions for developing nonspherical M&NPs are underscored.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HAP) has been formulated as adjuvants in vaccines for human use. However, the optimal properties required for HAP nanoparticles to elicit adjuvanticity and the underlying immunopotentiation mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. Herein, a library of HAP nanorods and nanospheres was synthesized to explore the effect of the particle shape and aspect ratio on the immune responses in vitro and adjuvanticity in vivo. It was demonstrated that long aspect ratio HAP nanorods induced a higher degree of cell membrane depolarization and subsequent uptake, and the internalized particles elicited cathepsin B release and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation, which further led to pro-inflammatory responses. Furthermore, the physicochemical property-dependent immunostimulation capacities were correlated with their humoral responses in a murine hepatitis B surface antigen immunization model, with long aspect ratio HAP nanorods inducing higher antigen-specific antibody productions. Importantly, HAP nanorods significantly up-regulated the IFN-γ secretion and CD107α expression on CD8+ T cells in immunized mice. Further mechanistic studies demonstrated that HAP nanorods with defined properties exerted immunomodulatory effects by enhanced antigen persistence and immune cell recruitments. Our study provides a rational design strategy for engineered nanomaterial-based vaccine adjuvants.

Abstract
Nanomaterials show great potential for the treatment of bacterial infections, but their effects remain limited by low antibacterial efficiency and immune clearance. Facet-dependent nanozymes coated with pathogen receptor membranes were fabricated, providing an approach for producing superphotothermal antibacterial nanomaterials with high biocompatibility and low immune clearance. (100)- and (112)-Faceted CuFeSe2 presented excellent photothermal conversion efficiency (46%). However, the peroxidase-like activity of (100)-faceted CuFeSe2 enhanced the decomposition of H2O2 to hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and was markedly greater than that of (112)-faceted CuFeSe2, with nearly 100% of Staphylococcus aureus being killed under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. Importantly, bacteria-pretreated immune membranes (i.e., pathogen receptor membranes) coated with CuFeSe2 exhibited superior S. aureus-binding ability, presented obvious immune-evading capability, and resulted in targeted delivery to infected sites. As a proof-of-principle demonstration, these findings hold promise for the use of pathogen receptor membrane-coated facet-dependent nanomaterials in clinical applications and the treatment of bacterial infections.

However, there is a deficiency of information concerning their toxicological profile regarding the human health.Objective: This in vivo study aimed to explore the hepato- and nephrotoxicity of low versus high doses of zein-coated MgO nanowires in rats.Materials and Methods: A 21-day recurrent dose toxicity research was carried out. Wistar rats were divided into 2 main groups, males and females (n = 18). Each group was further subdivided into 3 subgroups: control, MgO-zein nanowires low dose, MgO-zein nanowires high dose. The low dose used was 100 mg/kg while the high dose used was 200 mg/kg.Results: The results showed that MgO-zein nanowires at both doses did not affect the electrolytes levels compared to the control levels. Also, they did not produce any significant alteration in liver function markers in both rats' genders. MgO-zein nanowires at both doses did not produce any effective alteration in serum creatinine in treated rats of both genders. Moreover, very minimal histological alterations were observed in both doses of MgO-zein nanowires in liver and kidney of both genders.Conclusion: Based on the observed safety of zein-coated MgO nanowires, it can be utilized as an effective antimicrobial compound that can be combined in the preparation of a diversity of new dental formulations.KEY MESSAGESMgO NPs are globally used in multiple fields including the therapeutic field.Zein has wide pharmaceutical applications especially coating the tablet over sugar.There are no cytotoxic studies that investigate MgO-zein nanowires safety until now.

The Interactions between Nanoparticles and the Innate Immune System from a Nanotechnologist Perspective. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11112991.

Abstract
The immune system contributes to maintaining the body’s functional integrity through its two main functions: recognizing and destroying foreign external agents (invading microorganisms) and identifying and eliminating senescent cells and damaged or abnormal endogenous entities (such as cellular debris or misfolded/degraded proteins). Accordingly, the immune system can detect molecular and cellular structures with a spatial resolution of a few nm, which allows for detecting molecular patterns expressed in a great variety of pathogens, including viral and bacterial proteins and bacterial nucleic acid sequences. Such patterns are also expressed in abnormal cells. In this context, it is expected that nanostructured materials in the size range of proteins, protein aggregates, and viruses with different molecular coatings can engage in a sophisticated interaction with the immune system. Nanoparticles can be recognized or passed undetected by the immune system. Once detected, they can be tolerated or induce defensive (inflammatory) or anti-inflammatory responses. This paper describes the different modes of interaction between nanoparticles, especially inorganic nanoparticles, and the immune system, especially the innate immune system. This perspective should help to propose a set of selection rules for nanosafety-by-design and medical nanoparticle design.

Abstract
The construction of a heterogeneous nanocatalyst with outstanding catalytic performance via an environmentally benign and cost-effective synthetic category has long been one of the challenges in nanotechnology. Herein, we synthesized highly efficient and low-cost mesoporous morphology-dependent CuO/CeO2 -Rods and CuO/CeO2 -Cubes catalysts by employing a green and multifunctional polyphenolic compound (tannic acid) as the stabilizer and chelating agent for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction reaction. The CuO/CeO2 -Rods exhibited excellent performance, of which the activity was 3.2 times higher than that of CuO/CeO2 -Cubes. This can be connected with the higher density of oxygen vacancy on CeO2 -Rods (110) than CeO2 -Cubes (100), the oxygen vacancy favors anchoring CuO species on the CeO2 support, which promotes the strong interaction between finely dispersed CuO and CeO2 -Rods at the interfacial positions and facilitates the electron transfer from BH4 - to 4-NP. The synergistic catalytic mechanism illustrated that 4-NP molecules preferentially adsorbed on the CeO2 , while H2 from BH4 - dissociated over CuO to form highly active H* species, contributing to achieving efficient hydrogenation of 4-NP. This study is expected to shed light on designing and synthesizing cost-effective and high-performance nanocatalysts through a greener synthetic method for the areas of catalysis, nanomaterial science and engineering, and chemical synthesis.

Abstract
Cerium dioxide nanoparticles have a special place among engineered nanomaterials due to the wide range of their enzyme-like activities. They possess SOD-, catalase- and peroxidase-like properties, as well as recently discovered phosphatase-, photolyase-, phospholipase- and nuclease-like properties. Advancing biomedical applications of CeO2-based nanozymes requires an understanding of the features and mechanisms of the redox activity of CeO2 nanoparticles when entering the vascular bed, especially when interacting with lipid-protein supramolecular complexes (biomembranes and lipoproteins). In this paper, CeO2 nanoparticles are shown to possess two further types of nanozyme activity, namely lipo- and phospholipoperoxidase-like activities. Compared to a strong blood prooxidant, hemoglobin, CeO2 nanoparticles act as a mild oxidising agent, since they exhibit a 106 times lower, and 20 times lower, prooxidant capacity towards linoleic acid and phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxides, respectively. Compared to the widespread pharmacological preparation of iron, Fe(iii) carboxymaltose (antianemic preparation Ferinject®), the prooxidant capacity of CeO2 nanoparticles towards lipid and phospholipid substrates has been shown to be 102 times lower, and 4 times higher, respectively. The data obtained on the mechanism of the interaction of nanodisperse CeO2 with the main components of biological membranes, lipids and phospholipids enable the substantial expansion of the scope of biomedical applications of CeO2 nanozymes. CeO2 nanoparticles were shown to possess two novel types of enzyme-like activity, namely lipoperoxidase and phospholipoperoxidase activity.![]()

Abstract
There are numerous investigated factors that limit brain cancer treatment efficacy such as ability of prescribed therapy to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), tumor specific delivery of a therapeutics, transport within brain interstitium, and resistance of tumor cells against therapies. Recent breakthroughs in the field of nano-biotechnology associated with developing multifunctional nano-theranostic emerged as an effective way to manage brain cancer in terms of higher efficacy and least possible adverse effects. Keeping challenges and state-of-art accomplishments into consideration, this review proposes a comprehensive, careful, and critical discussion focused on efficient nano-enabled platforms including nanocarriers for drug delivery across the BBB and nano-assisted therapies (e.g., nano-immunotherapy, nano-stem cell therapy, and nano-gene therapy) investigated for brain cancer treatment. Besides therapeutic efficacy point-of-view, efforts are being made to explore ways projected to tune such developed nano-therapeutic for treating patients in personalized manner via controlling size, drug loading, delivery, and retention. Personalized brain tumor management based on advanced nano-therapies can potentially lead to excellent therapeutic benefits based on unique genetic signatures in patients and their individual disease profile. Moreover, applicability of nano-systems as stimulants to manage the brain cancer growth factors has also been discussed in photodynamic therapy and radiotherapy. Overall, this review offers a comprehensive information on emerging opportunities in nanotechnology for advancing the brain cancer treatment.

Abstract
Nanomaterials are now being used in a wide variety of biomedical applications. Medical and health-related issues, however, have raised major concerns, in view of the potential risks of these materials against tissue, cells, and/or organs and these are still poorly understood. These particles are able to interact with the body in countless ways, and they can cause unexpected and hazardous toxicities, especially at cellular levels. Therefore, undertaking in vitro and in vivo experiments is vital to establish their toxicity with natural tissues. In this review, we discuss the underlying mechanisms of nanotoxicity and provide an overview on in vitro characterizations and cytotoxicity assays, as well as in vivo studies that emphasize blood circulation and the in vivo fate of nanomaterials. Our focus is on understanding the role that the physicochemical properties of nanomaterials play in determining their toxicity.

Quercetin-Loaded Ceria Nanocomposite Potentiate Dual-Directional Immunoregulation via Macrophage Polarization against Periodontal Inflammation.

Abstract
Macrophage polarization toward M1 phenotype (pro-inflammation) is closely associated with the destructive phase of periodontal inflammation. Nanoceria is verified to inhibit M1 polarization of macrophages by the favorable ability of reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging. However, the function of nanoceria on macrophage polarization toward M2 phenotype (anti-inflammation) in reparative phase of periodontal inflammation is quite limited. In this work, by introducing an antioxidant drug quercetin onto nano-octahedral ceria, synergistic and intense regulation of host immunity against periodontal disease is realized. Such nanocomposite can control the phenotypic switch of macrophages by not only inhibition of M1 polarization for suppressing the damage in the destructive phase but also promotion of M2 polarization for regenerating the surrounding tissues in reparative phase of periodontal disease. As-prepared nanocomposite can effectively increase the M2/M1 ratio of macrophage polarization in inflammatory cellular models by lipopolysaccharide stimulation. More importantly, the nanocomposite also exerts an improved therapeutic potential against local inflammation by significant downregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and upregulation of anti-inflammatory cytokines in an animal model with periodontal inflammation. Therefore, this newly developed nanomedicine is efficient in ROS scavenging and driving pro-inflammatory macrophages to the anti-inflammatory phenotype to eliminate inflammation, thereby providing a promising candidate for treating periodontal inflammation.

Abstract
The uptake, intracellular dissolution, and cytotoxicity of silver nanowires (AgNWs) in two cell models (human keratinocytes - HaCaT cells and murine macrophages) were systemically investigated for the first time. Cellular uptake of AgNWs occurred mainly via pathways of clathrin-dependent endocytosis, caveolae-dependent endocytosis, and phagocytosis. AgNWs could be internalized by two types of cells with numerous lysosomal vesicles detected in close vicinity to AgNWs. Meanwhile, AgNWs exposure caused lysosomal permeabilization and release of cathepsisn B into cytoplasm. Furthermore, for the first time, this study found that AgNWs exposure inhibited the transmembrane ATP binding cassette (ABC) efflux transporter activity, which could make AgNWs as chemosensitizers to increase the toxicity of other xenobiotic pollutants. Toxicity assays evaluating reactive oxygen species production and mitochondrial activity indicated that cytotoxicity differed for different cell types and particles. The intracellular presence of AgNWs with different diameters induced similar toxic events but to different extents. AgNWs were absorbed by macrophages more efficiently than HaCaT cells, while AgNWs exhibited only marginal cytotoxicity towards macrophages compared to HaCaT cells. Using an Ag+ fluorescence probe, it was found that a fraction of AgNWs was dissolved inside the lysosomes. A higher amount of released Ag+ was detected in HaCaT cells than in macrophages, which might partially contribute to their higher cytotoxicity in HaCaT cells. The toxicity of AgNWs in HaCaT cells and macrophages is due to the high-aspect nature of the nanowires rather than the extracellular release of Ag+. This study may be useful for risk assessments of AgNWs in their practical applications in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Soluble lanthanum (La)(Ⅲ) species that have been extensively used as fertilizers in agriculture can potentially get into the human body through foods and environment. Most soluble La(Ⅲ) species can rapidly transform into insoluble La(Ⅲ) species under physiological conditions, however, their potential biological behavior and chronic toxicity are rarely investigated. In the present study, insoluble La(Ⅲ) species formed under physiological condition were identified as nanoscale or microscale particles, and their major components were found to experience biotransformation process upon contact with cells. Insoluble La(Ⅲ) species could adhere to extracellular membrane or be internalized into cells, capable of activating a nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. The underlying mechanism could be ascribed to K+ efflux and lysosomal rupture because these insoluble La(Ⅲ) species locating at extracellular membrane could reduce the unsaturated fatty acids of cell membrane, leading to potassium (K+) efflux, and those internalized into cells could consume the phospholipids of lysosomal membrane, leading to lysosomal rupture. Mice daily drinking soluble La(Ⅲ) species to mimic drinking tea process for 90 days were found to present NLRP3 inflammasome activation in liver and kidney, as a result of chronic fibrosis, which is potentially correlated to insoluble La(Ⅲ) species formation.

Abstract
The biological applications of cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) have received extensive attention in recent decades. The coexistence of trivalent cerium and tetravalent cerium on the surface of nanoceria allows the scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The regeneratable changes between Ce3+ and Ce4+ make nanoceria a suitable therapeutic agent for treating ROS-related diseases and inflammatory diseases. The size, morphology and Ce3+/Ce4+ state of cerium oxide nanoparticles are affected by the synthesis method. This review focuses on various synthesis methods of cerium oxide nanoparticles and discusses their corresponding physical characteristics, and anti-ROS and anti-inflammatory properties.
