[PMID: 36683595 PMCID: PMC9851061 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s389535] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2022] [Accepted: 12/09/2022] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose ZnO quantum dots (QDs) are composed of less toxic metals than other QDs but have the same interesting photochemical properties. Thus, they have received considerable attention recently. Nevertheless, their toxicity cannot be ignored. Methods In this study, we incubated ZnO QDs with human SMMC-7721 cells for 24 h to assess their nanotoxicity through proteomics (Fold change >1.5 and p-value <0.05) and metabolomics (Fold change ≥ 1.5; VIP ≥ 1; p-value < 0.05) analyses. Results Both of 174 and 219 significantly changed metabolites were identified in human SMMC-7721 cells treated with 20 and 50 µg/mL ZnO QDs, respectively. ZnO QDs significantly modified metabolic pathways, including purine metabolism, ferroptosis, morphine addiction, alcoholism, cGMP-PKG signaling, and Cushing syndrome. Moreover, we identified 105 and 8 differentially expressed proteins in cells treated with 20 and 50 µg/mL ZnO QDs, and the pathways of alcoholism and Cushing syndrome were enriched. Conclusion ZnO QDs did not affect cell viability in a CCK8 assay, but disturbed the level of intracellular metabolites and proteins at 20 µg/mL. The KEGG analyses of the metabolomics and proteomics data both enriched the alcoholism and Cushing syndrome pathways. These results provide an experimental basis for future research on the safe use of nanomaterials.

Abstract
As a necessary substance to maintain the body's normal life activities, metal ions are ubiquitous in organisms and play a major role in various complex physiological and biochemical processes, such as material transportation, energy conversion, information transmission, metabolic regulation, etc. Their abnormal distribution/accumulation in cells can interfere with these processes, causing irreversible physical damage to cells or activating biochemical reactions to induce cell death. Therefore, metal ions can be exploited against a wide spectrum of cancers with high efficiency and without drug resistance, which can effectively inhibit the growth of cancer cells by triggering biocatalysis, breaking the osmotic balance, affecting metabolism, interfering with signal transduction, damaging DNA, etc. This perspective systematically summarizes the latest research progress of metal ion-based anti-tumor therapy, and emphasizes the challenges and development directions of this type of therapeutic strategy, hoping to provide a general implication for future research.

Abstract
Nanomaterials are currently widely exploited for their potential in the development of novel cancer therapies, and so far, mainly nanoparticles (NPs) consisting of liposomes and polymers have made their way into the clinic. However, major bottlenecks for the clinical translation of other types of NPs (i.e. inorganic) are the lack of knowledge concerning their long-term distribution in vivo and their potential toxicity. To counter this, various research groups have worked on soluble NPs, such as zinc oxide (ZnO), copper oxide (CuO), and silver (Ag), which tend to dissolve spontaneously into their ionic form, releasing toxic metal ions and leading to reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation when exposed to cellular environments. By fine-tuning the dissolution kinetics of these NPs, it is possible to control the level of ROS production and thus cytotoxicity to selectively destroy tumor tissue. Specifically, cancer cells tend to exhibit a higher basal level of oxidative stress compared to normal cells due to their higher metabolic rates, and therefore, by engineering NPs that generate sufficient ROS that barely exceed toxic thresholds in cancer cells, normal cells will only experience reversible transient damage. This review focuses on the use of these soluble inorganic NPs for selective cancer therapy and on the various in vitro and in vivo studies that have aimed to control the dissolution kinetics of these NPs, either through particle doping or surface modifications.

Abstract
Water is one of the most commonplace solvents employed in wet chemical synthesis; however, it can sometimes play important roles such as an effective inducer or morphology-directing agent when introduced into a special reaction system, resulting in the formation of inorganic micro-/nanostructures with well-defined configurations. A better understanding of the key roles of water in the chemical synthesis will unlock a door to the design of many more novel single-component and hybrid nanocomposite architectures. Therefore, it is imperative to comprehensively review the topic of water-guided synthesis of well-defined micro-/nanostructures. Unfortunately, the significance of water has been underestimated and an in-depth study about the exact action of water in morphology-control is still lacking. In this review, we focus on the recent advances made in the development of the shape-controlled synthesis of inorganic micro-/nanostructures achieved by only adjusting the amount of water through some typical examples, including noble metals, metal oxides, perovskites, metal sulfides and oxysalts. In particular, the theory principles, synthesis strategies and growth mechanisms of the water-guided synthesis of well-defined inorganic micro-/nanostructures have been mainly highlighted. Finally, several current issues and challenges of this topic that need to be addressed in future investigations are briefly presented.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) are one of emerging engineering nanomaterials (NMs) with advantageous properties which can act as candidates for clinical imaging and diagnosis. Nevertheless, toxicological studies have proved that QDs for better or worse pose threats to diverse systems which are attributed to the release of metal ion and specific characteristics of nanoparticles (NPs), hampering the wide use of QDs to biomedical area. It has been postulated that mechanisms of toxicity evoked by QDs have implications in oxidative stress, reactive oxygen species (ROS), inflammation and release of metal ion. Meanwhile, DNA damage and disturbance of subcellular structures would occur during QDs treatment. This review is intended to conclude the cytotoxicity of QDs in multiple systems, as well as the potential mechanisms on the basis of recent literatures. Finally, toxicity-related factors are clarified, among which chirality seems to be a newly proposed influence factor that determines the destiny of cells in response to QDs. However, details of interaction between QDs and cells have not been well elucidated. Given that molecular mechanisms of QDs-induced toxicity are still not clearly elucidated, further research should be required for this meaningful topic.

Abstract
Cancer cells have unique but widely varying characteristics that have proven them difficult to be treated by classical therapeutics and calls for novel and selective treatment options. Nanomaterials (NMs) have been shown to display biological effects as a function of their chemical composition, and the extent and exact nature of these effects can vary between different biological environments. Here, ZnO NMs are doped with increasing levels of Fe, which allows to finely tune their dissolution rate resulting in significant differences in their biological behavior on cancer or normal cells. Based on in silico analysis, 2% Fe-doped ZnO NMs are found to be optimal to cause selective cancer cell death, which is confirmed in both cultured cells and syngeneic tumor models, where they also reduce metastasis formation. These results show that upon tuning NM chemical composition, NMs can be designed as a targeted selective anticancer therapy.
