[PMID: 38887776 PMCID: PMC11180057 DOI: 10.1007/s40201-024-00902-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 04/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
This study applied an electro-Fenton process using chemically modified activated carbon derived from rubber seed shells loaded with α-FeOOH (RSCF) as catalyst to remove tetracycline residues from aquatic environment. Catalyst characteristics were evaluated using SEM, EDS, XRD, and XPS, showing successful insertion of iron onto the activated carbon. The effects of the parameters were investigated, and the highest treatment efficiency was achieved at pH of 3, Fe: H2O2 ratio (w/w) of 500:1, catalyst dose of 1 g/L, initial TCH concentration of 100 mg/L, and electric current of 150 mA, with more than 90% of TCH being eliminated within 30 min. Furthermore, even after five cycles of use, the treatment efficiency remains above 90%. The rate constant is calculated to be 0.218 min-1, with high regression coefficients (R 2 = 0.93). The activation energy (Ea) was found to be 32.2 kJ/mol, indicating that the degradation of TCH was a simple reaction with a low activation energy. These findings showed that the RSCF is a highly efficient and cost-effective catalyst for TCH degradation. Moreover, the use of e-Fenton process has the advantage of high efficiency, low cost thanks to the recyclability of the catalyst, and environmental friendliness thanks to less use of H2O2.

Abstract
Every day, significant quantities of solid wastes are generated in steel companies which causes environment pollution. These waste materials differ from one steel plant to other depending upon the steelmaking processes adopted and pollution control equipment installed. The most common type of solid wastes originated in steel plant are hot metal pretreatment slag, dust, GCP sludge, mill scale, scrap, etc. At present, various efforts and experiments are being carried out in order to make use of 100% solid wastes products in order to reducing cost of disposal, saving raw materials and conserving energy. Then, the purpose of our paper is the access to reuse potential of the steel abundant mill scale for sustainable industrial applications. This material is a very valuable industrial waste due to its richness in iron (about 72% Fe), chemical stability, and variable usage in multiple fields which implies that it can bring social and environmental benefits. This work aims to recover Mill scale and reuse it to synthesize three iron oxide pigments; hematite (α-Fe2O3, red color), magnetite (Fe3O4, black color), and maghemite (γ-Fe2O3, brown color). To achieve this objective, Mill scale needs to be refined and granted to react with sulfuric acid to obtain ferrous sulfate FeSO4.xH2O which is used to produce hematite by calcination between 600 and 900 °C, then, magnetite by reduction of hematite using a reducing agent at 400 °C and maghemite from a thermal treatment of magnetite at 200 °C. It was shown within the experiments that the mill scale contains between 75% and 86.66% of Fe and a uniform distribution of particles size with a low span. That gave red particles size (0.18-0.193 µm) and specific surface area SSA: 6.12 m2/g, black particles sizes (0.2-0.3 µm) and SSA 4.92 m2/g, brown particles size (0.18-0.189 µm) and SSA 6.32 m2/g. The results revealed that the mill scale was successfully converted into pigments with good qualities. So, it is recommended to work from the beginning at synthesis hematite by copperas red process and then magnetite and maghemite in order to control shape of magnetite and maghemite (spheroidal) to get the best results economically and environmentally.

Abstract
Applications of nanoparticles (NPs) in nanodrugs, food additives, and cosmetics can result in the presence of nanomaterials in the human circulatory system and their attachment to red blood cells (RBCs), which may lead to cytotoxic effects. To investigate the interactions of NPs with RBC membranes (RBCm), supported erythrocyte membranes (SRBCm) were developed on piezoelectric sensors in a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) at 25 °C. A well-dispersed RBCm suspension at 1 mM NaCl and 0.2 mM NaHCO3 was obtained from whole blood and comprised colloidal membrane fragments with the average hydrodynamic diameter and zeta potential of 390 nm and -0.53 mV, respectively, at pH 7.0. The thin and rigid SRBCm was formed mainly through the deposition of RBCm fragments on the poly-l-lysine-modified crystal sensor, leading to the average frequency shift of -26.2 Hz and the low ratio of the dissipation to frequency shift (7.2 × 10-8 Hz-1). The complete coverage of SRBCm was indicated by the plateau of the frequency shift in the stage of SRBCm formation and no deposition of negatively charged 106 nm polystyrene nanoparticles (PSNPs) on the SRBCm. Atomic force microscopy and immunofluorescence microscopy images showed that RBCm aggregates with the average size of 420 nm and erythrocyte membrane proteins existed on SRBCm, respectively. The methods of determining attachment efficiencies of model positively charged NPs (i.e., hematite NPs or HemNPs) and model negatively charged NPs (i.e., PSNPs) on SRBCm were demonstrated in 1 mM NaCl solution at pH 5.1 and pH 7.0, respectively. HemNPs exhibited a favorable deposition with an attachment efficiency of 0.99 while PSNPs did not show any attachment propensity toward SRBCm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nanotechnology and material science have developed enormously fast in recent years. Due to their excellent magnetic properties, iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have been broadly applied in the field of bioengineering and biomedical. Thus, it is important to evaluate the safety issues and health effects of these nanomaterials. The present investigation was aimed to evaluate the adverse effects of IONPs on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). METHODS The cytotoxic potential of IONPs was assessed by MTT and neutral red uptake (NRU) assays. The impact of IONPs on oxidative stress markers (glutathione (GSH) and lipid peroxidation (LPO)), reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was also examined. Furthermore, the toxic effect of IONPs was quantified by assessing DNA damage, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis by quantitative real time PCR. RESULTS We found that IONPs induce a dose-dependent cytotoxicity on HUVECs with IC50 value of 79.13 μg/mL. The results also displayed that IONPs induce oxidative stress, ROS production, and mitochondrial membrane dysfunction. The comet assay results exhibited IONPs induces DNA damage in HUVECs. We found significant cell cycle arrest at SubG1 phase in treated cells and consequent cell death was evidenced by microscopic analysis. Moreover, IONPs display substantial up-regulation of pro-apoptotic genes and down-regulation of anti-apoptotic gene evidenced by real time qPCR. CONCLUSION Overall, our results clearly demonstrated that IONPs have the potential to induce cytotoxicity, DNA damage, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis in HUVECs mediated through oxidative stress and ROS production. Thus, IONPs are cytotoxic and it should be handled with proper care.

Abstract
The conventional synthesis of hematite nanoparticles (HNPs) is expensive and creates secondary contaminants. Therefore, to combat these issues, there is a requirement for a cheap, effective, and eco-friendly technique. Herein, HNPs were prepared using the fruit extract of Spondias pinnata - an abundant source available in Western-coastal India. The polyphenolic compounds aided the synthesis process and the entire procedure was very rapid. The obtained HNPs had needle-like morphology with agglomerations due to the magnetic interactions as seen in FESEM and HRTEM images. Fe and O elements were noticed in EDS results. The crystalline nature and crystal phase were confirmed from XRD and SAED patterns. The lattice parameters of HNPs were in tandem with the literature. Fe-O crystalline vibrations were noticed in FTIR studies. VSM results portrayed the superparamagnetic nature of HNPs with a high magnetic saturation value of 8.949 emu/g and a negligible hysteresis loop. Thermal stability was ascertained using TGA results with 32% overall weight loss. XPS studies revealed the existence of pure HNPs with signature peaks. Raman spectrum showed the bands specific for HNPs, comparable to the commercial one. In addition, the HNPs were mesoporous with a high surface area (72.04 m2/g) - higher than the commercial one. The anticancer potential of the HNPs was successfully demonstrated against two mammalian cancer cell lines. Therefore, the HNPs synthesized in this study could be applied in various biomedical fields, especially for anticancer formulations.

Investigating the role of bentonite clay with different soil amendments to minimize the bioaccumulation of heavy metals in Solanum melongena L. under the irrigation of tannery wastewater. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:958978. [PMID: 36247568 PMCID: PMC9558103 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.958978] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2022] [Accepted: 08/01/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Wastewater from tanneries is a major source of heavy metals in soil and plants when used for crop irrigation. The unavoidable toxicological effects of this contamination, however, can be minimized through two independent steps discussed in the present study. In the first step, a batch sorption experiment was conducted in which Cr was adsorbed through bentonite clay. For this purpose, DTPA extraction method was used to analyze Cr concentration in the soil after regular time intervals (0.5, 1, 2, 6, 8, 9, 10.5, 11.5, and 20.3 h) which reduced Cr concentration from 38.542 mgL-1 for 30 min to 5.6597 mgL-1 for 20.3 h, respectively, by applying 1% bentonite. An increase in the contact time efficiently allowed soil adsorbent to adsorb maximum Cr from soil samples. In the second step, a pot experiment was conducted with 10 different treatments to improve the physiological and biochemical parameters of the Solanum melongena L. irrigated under tanneries' wastewater stress. There were four replicates, and the crop was harvested after 30 days of germination. It was seen that the application of wastewater significantly (P < 0.01) reduced growth of Solanum melongena L. by reducing root (77%) and shoot (63%) fresh weight when compared with CFOP (Ce-doped Fe2O3 nanoparticles); chlorophyll a and b (fourfolds) were improved under CFOP application relative to control (CN). However, the deleterious effects of Cr (86%) and Pb (90%) were significantly decreased in shoot through CFOP application relative to CN. Moreover, oxidative damage induced by the tannery's wastewater stress (P < 0.01) was tolerated by applying different soil amendments. However, results were well pronounced with the application of CFOP which competitively decreased the concentrations of MDA (95%), H2O2 (89%), and CMP (85%) by efficiently triggering the activities of antioxidant defense mechanisms such as APX (threefold), CAT (twofold), and phenolics (75%) in stem relative to CN. Consequently, all the applied amendments (BN, BT, FOP, and CFOP) have shown the ability to efficiently tolerate the tannery's wastewater stress; results were more pronounced with the addition of CFOP and FOP+BT by improving physiological and biochemical parameters of Solanum melongena L. in an eco-friendly way.

Abstract
Long-term exposure to fine particles (PM2.5), ultrafine particles (UFPs), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions from cooking has been linked to adverse human health effects. Here, we measured the real-time number size distribution of particles emitted when cooking two served food in Chinese restaurants and estimated the emission rate of UFPs and PM2.5. Experiments were conducted under a control hood, and both online measurement and offline analysis of PM2.5 were carried out. The measured emission rates of PM2.5 generated from deep-frying and grilling were 0.68 ± 0.11 mg/min and 1.58 ± 0.25 mg/min, respectively. Moreover, the UFPs emission rate of deep-frying (4.3 × 109 #/min) is three times higher than that of grilling (1.4 × 109 #/min). Additionally, the PM2.5 emission of deep-frying was comprised of a considerable amount of α-Fe2O3 (5.7% of PM2.5 total mass), which is more toxic than other iron oxide species. A total of six carcinogenic HAPs were detected, among which formaldehyde, acrolein, and acetaldehyde were found to exceed the inhalation reference concentration (RfC) for both cooking methods. These findings can contribute to future evaluation of single particle and HAPs emission from cooking to better support toxicity assessment.

Abstract
Enhancement of drug efficacy is essential in cancer treatment. The immune stimulator ovalbumin (Ova)-coated citric acid (AC-)-stabilized iron oxide nanoparticles (AC-IO-Ova NPs) and enhanced permeability and retention (EPR)-based tumor targeted 4.5 generation poly(amidoamine) dendrimer(4.5GDP)-cisplatin (Cis-pt) nanocomplex (NC) (4.5GDP-Cis-pt NC) were used for enhanced anticancer efficiency. The formations of 4.5GDP-Cis-pt NC, AC-IO, and AC-IO-Ova NPs were examined via FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The conjugation of Cis-pt with 4.5GDP was confirmed using carbon NMR spectroscopy. The tumor-specific 4.5GDP-Cis-pt NC provided 45%and 28% cumulative cisplatin release in 72 h at pH 6.5 and 7.4, respectively. A significant immune response with high TNF-α and IL-6 cytokine secretion was confirmed for the co-incubation of AC-IO-Ova with RAW 264.7 or HaCaT cells. AC-IO-Ova NPs were biocompatible with different cell lines, even at a high concentration (200 µg mL-1). However, AC-IO-Ova NPs mixed with 4.5GDP-Cis-pt NC (Cis-pt at 15 µg mL-1) significantly increased the cytotoxicity against the cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner with the increasing AC-IO-Ova NPs concentrations. The increased anticancer effects may be attributed to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, AC-IO-Ova NPs might assist the efficiency of anticancer cells, inducing an innate immune response via M1 macrophage polarization. We provide a novel synergistic chemoimmunotherapeutic strategy to enhance the anticancer efficacy of cisplatin via a chemotherapeutic agent 4.5GDP-Cis-pt NC and induce proinflammatory cytokines stimulating innate immunity through AC-IO-Ova NPs against tumors.

Abstract
Microbes or parasites spread vector-borne diseases by mosquitoes without being affected themselves. Insecticides used in vector control produce a substantial problem for human health. This study synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using Lawsonia inermis L. and were characterized by UV-vis, FT-IR, SEM with EDX, and XRD analysis. Green synthesized ZnO NPs were highly toxic against Anopheles stephensi, whose lethal concentrations values ranged from 5.494 ppm (I instar), 6.801 ppm (II instar), 9.336 ppm (III instar), 10.736 ppm (IV instar), and 12.710 ppm (pupae) in contrast to L. inermis treatment. The predation efficiency of the teleost fish Gambusia affinis and the copepod Mesocyclops aspericornis against A. stephensi was not affected by exposure at sublethal doses of ZnO NPs. The predatory potency for G. affinis was 45 (I) and 25.83% (IV), copepod M. aspericornis was 40.66 (I) and 10.8% (IV) while in an ZnO NPs contaminated environment, the predation by the fish G. affinis was boosted to 71.33 and 34.25%, and predation of the copepod M. aspericornis was 60.35 and 16.75%, respectively. ZnO NPs inhibited the growth of several microbial pathogens including the bacteria (Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis) and the fungi (Alternaria alternate and Aspergillus flavus), respectively. ZnO NPs decreased the cell viability of Hep-G2 with IC50 value of 21.63 µg/mL (R2 = 0.942; P < 0.001) while the concentration increased from 1.88 to 30 µg/mL. These outcomes support the use of L. inermis mediated ZnO NPs for mosquito control and drug development.

Abstract
This study is the first report on the biosynthesized iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) which mediate in-vitro callus induction and shoot regeneration in economically important recalcitrant chickpea crop (Cicer arietinum L.). Here, we used leaf extract of Cymbopogon jwarancusa for the synthesis of IONPs in order to achieve a better biocompatibility. The bioactive compounds in C. jwarancusa leaf extract served as both reducing and capping agents in the fabrication process of IONPs. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) revealed rods like surface morphology of IONPs with an average diameter of 50±0.2 nm. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) depicted formation of pure IONPs with 69.84% Fe and 30.16% O2. X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and attenuated total reflectance-fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) validate the crystalline structure, chemical analysis detect the presence of various biomolecular fingerprints in the as synthesized IONPs. UV-visible absorption spectroscopy depicts activity of IONPs under visible light. Thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) displayed thermal loss of organic capping around 500°C and confirmed their stabilization. The biosynthesized IONPs revealed promising results in callus induction, shoot regeneration and root induction of chickpea plants. Both chickpea varieties Punjab-Noor 09 and Bittle-98 explants, Embryo axes (EA) and Embryo axes plus adjacent part of cotyledon (EXC) demonstrated dose-dependent response. Among all explants, EXC of Punjab-Noor variety showed the highest callogenesis (96%) and shoot regeneration frequency (88%), while root induction frequency was also increased to 83%. Iron content was quantified in regenerated chickpea varieties through inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry. The quantity of iron is significantly increased in Punjab-Noor regenerated plants (4.88 mg/g) as compare to control treated plants (2.42 mg/g). We found that IONPs enhance chickpea growth pattern and keep regenerated plantlets infection free by providing an optimum environment for rapid growth and development. Thus, IONPs synthesized through green process can be utilized in tissue culture studies in other important recalcitrant legumes crops.

Abstract
In recent years, nanomaterials have been widely used in consumer products. High reactivity of metallic nanoparticles and its bioaccumulation in biological systems are the main causes of concern over their safety to human health and environment. The available information related to the safety of several nanomaterials is insufficient. Hematite nanoparticles are proposed for various applications. Ecotoxicological studies of hematite nanoparticles are very limited. In the present study, biosynthesised hematite nanoparticles using Bacillus cereus were evaluated for its acute oral toxicity in mice following OECD guidelines. A dose of 2 g/kg/p.o was administered to Swiss albino mice through gastric oral feeding tube and observed for 14 days. After two weeks blood samples were collected and subjected for evaluation of haematological parameters and biochemical analysis. There was no mortality and toxic signs of animals till the end of observational period. The animals were sacrificed and organs like liver and kidneys were isolated to study the histopathological changes. The results of the study revealed that there was no drastic change in parameters except slight change in bilirubin in the hematite nanoparticle treated mice. Biosynthesised hematite nanoparticles were assayed for toxicity in Artemia salina. Cysts treated with higher concentrations of hematite nanoparticles showed small sized nauplii. Biosynthesised hematite nanoparticles were found to be non-toxic to A. salina nauplii in lower concentrations.

Abstract
Iron-modified graphitic carbon nitride (FG materials) was prepared through a simple and cost-effective method using iron oxide and melamine to achieve simultaneous oxidation and adsorption of arsenic. We hypothesized that graphitic carbon nitride oxidizes As(III) to As(V) under light irradiation, and the converted As(V) is adsorbed by the amorphous iron phase on FG materials. FG materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectra, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, specific surface area, ultraviolet-visible light spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. As(III) was efficiently transformed to As(V) due to the photocatalytic-oxidation ability of graphic carbon nitride under visible and UV light irradiation, the oxidized As(V) was adsorbed by the amorphous iron phases, and As species were removed from the system. The removal efficiency of As(III) decreased from 50%, 41%, and 33% under UV light, visible light and dark, respectively. FG materials exhibited the photocatalytic-oxidation ability and adsorption capacity, and a synergistic effect was observed between graphitic carbon nitride and iron oxide. Removal of As can be achieved even under visible light, confirming the field applicability of low-cost FG materials.

Abstract
The synthesis of magnetic Hematite nanoparticles (α-Fe2O3) via green route has been a long lasting challenge for the scientific and technological fascination of many researchers. In the present investigation, iron oxide nanoparticles (α-Fe2O3) were synthesized using Rheum emodi roots in a cost effective and ecofriendly method. Their physicochemical property orchestration involved techniques such as UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and Atomic force microscopy (AFM). Through TEM, FESEM and AFM analysis, α-Fe2O3NPs were confirmed spherical in shape and the average diameter of particle is ~12 nm as depicted through TEM image. Thermal property was investigated by TGA. Magnetic behavior was observed in R. emodi mediated α-Fe2O3NPs by magnetic hysteresis measurements. FTIR analysis revealed the presence of anthraquinones in R. emodi roots extract which play the central role in stabilization of the α-Fe2O3NPs. Further, the crystalline nature of the nanoparticle sample was determined with XRD experiment and SAED fringes calculation. The crystal was also confirmed with Rietveld refinement of XRD profile fitted with R-3c model Additionally, magnetic interaction with bacterial cell wall showed antimicrobial property against Escherichia coli, Gram-negative and Staphylococcus aureus, Gram-positive species. The approach transcribed in this paper reveals a novel methodology that utilizes α-Fe2O3 NPs to initiate apoptosis and inhibition of cervical cancer cells.

Abstract
Ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (USPION) possess reactive surfaces, are metabolized and exhibit unique magnetic properties. These properties are desirable for designing novel theranostic biomedical products; however, toxicity mechanisms of USPION are not completely elucidated. The goal of this study was to investigate cell interactions (uptake and cytotoxicity) of USPION using human coronary artery endothelial cells as a vascular cell model. Polyvinylpirrolidone-coated USPION were characterized: average diameter 17 nm (transmission electron microscopy [TEM]), average hydrodynamic diameter 44 nm (dynamic light scattering) and zeta potential -38.75 mV. Cells were exposed to 0 (control), 25, 50, 100 or 200 μg/mL USPION. Concentration- and time-dependent cytotoxicity were observed after 3-6 hours through 24 hours of exposure using Alamar Blue and Real-Time Cell Electronic Sensing assays. Cell uptake was evaluated by imaging using live-dead confocal microscopy, actin and nuclear fluorescent staining, and TEM. Phase-contrast, confocal microscopy, and TEM imaging showed significant USPION internalization as early as 3 hours after exposure to 25 μg/mL. TEM imaging demonstrated particle internalization in secondary lysosomes with perinuclear localization. Three orthogonal assays were conducted to assess apoptosis. TUNEL staining demonstrated a marked increase in fragmented DNA, a response pathognomonic of apoptosis, after a 4-hour exposure. Cells subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis exhibited degraded DNA 3 hours after exposure. Caspase-3/7 activity increased after a 3-hour exposure. USPION uptake resulted in cytotoxicity involving apoptosis and these results contribute to further mechanistic understanding of the USPION toxicity in vitro in cardiovascular endothelial cells.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) are used to a large extent in the targeted delivery of therapeutic agents. In this study, we aimed to investigate the possible toxicity of Fe2 O 3 NPs on human cells, including blood lymphocytes. We isolated blood lymphocytes from healthy humans using Ficoll polysaccharide and subsequently by gradient centrifugation. Then, the toxicity parameters, including cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, lipid peroxidation, cellular glutathione (GSH) level, mitochondrial and lysosomal damage, were measured in blood lymphocytes after exposure to Fe 2 O 3 NPs. Our results indicated that Fe 2 O 3 NPs significantly (dependent on concentration) reduced the cell viability, and the IC 50 was determined to be 1 mM. With increasing concentrations, we found that Fe 2 O 3 NPs-induced cell toxicity was associated with a significant increase in intracellular ROS and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and lysosomal membrane leakiness. Consequently, these NPs at different concentrations affect GSH level and cause oxidative stress in human lymphocytes.
