Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2024; 734:150464. [PMID: 39083970 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2024.150464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2024] [Revised: 07/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/26/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
Breast cancer is most common cancer among women in the World. Thymoquinone (TQ) exhibits a wide range of biological activities such as anticancer, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, analgesic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. However, its effectiveness in cancer treatment is hindered by its poor bioavailability, attributed to its limited solubility in water. Hence, novel strategies are required to enhance the bioavailability of TQ, which possesses remarkable anticancer characteristics. The aim of this study is to prepare pHEMA-based magnetic nanoparticles carrying TQ (TQ-MNPs) to improve bioavailability, and therapeutic efficacy against breast cancer. For this purpose, TQ-MNPs were synthesized and characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), magnetic field using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The loading capabilities of synthesized magentic nanostructures were evaluated, and release investigations were conducted under experimental conditions that mimic the cellular environment. The findings of the studies indicated that the TQ carrying capacity of MNPs was deemed satisfactory, and the release efficiency was adequate. MNPs and TQ-MNPs showed biocompatibility against HDFa cells. TQ-MNPs showed stronger anti-proliferative activity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells compared to free TQ (p < 0.05). TQ-MNPs induced apoptosis in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.

[PMID: 39276099 PMCID: PMC11440641 DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.4c04675] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2024] [Revised: 08/30/2024] [Accepted: 09/06/2024] [Indexed: 09/16/2024]
Abstract
Conventional mass spectrometry (MS)-based bottom-up proteomics (BUP) analysis of the protein corona [i.e., an evolving layer of biomolecules, mostly proteins, formed on the surface of nanoparticles (NPs) during their interactions with biomolecular fluids] enabled the nanomedicine community to partly identify the biological identity of NPs. Such an approach, however, fails to pinpoint the specific proteoforms─distinct molecular variants of proteins in the protein corona. The proteoform-level information could potentially advance the prediction of the biological fate and pharmacokinetics of nanomedicines. Recognizing this limitation, this study pioneers a robust and reproducible MS-based top-down proteomics (TDP) technique for characterizing proteoforms in the protein corona. Our TDP approach has successfully identified about 900 proteoforms in the protein corona of polystyrene NPs, ranging from 2 to 70 kDa, revealing proteoforms of 48 protein biomarkers with combinations of post-translational modifications, signal peptide cleavages, and/or truncations─details that BUP could not fully discern. This advancement in MS-based TDP offers a more advanced approach to characterize NP protein coronas, deepening our understanding of NPs' biological identities. We, therefore, propose using both TDP and BUP strategies to obtain more comprehensive information about the protein corona, which, in turn, can further enhance the diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy of nanomedicine technologies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION High incidence and fatality rates of cancer remain a global challenge. The success of conventional treatment modalities is being questioned on account of adverse effects. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a potential alternative. It utilizes a combination of photosensitizer (PS), light and oxygen to target the tissues locally, thereby minimizing the damage to neighboring healthy tissues. Conventional PSs suffer from poor selectivity, high hydrophobicity and sub-optimal yield of active radicals. Graphene nanomaterials (GNs) exhibit interesting particulate and photophysical properties in the context of their use in PDT. AREA COVERED We focus on describing the mechanistic aspects of PDT-mediated elimination of cancer cells and the subsequent development of adaptive immunity. After covering up-to-date literature on the significant enhancement of PDT capability with GNs, we have discussed the probability of combining PDT with chemo-, immuno-, and photothermal therapy to make the treatment more effective. EXPERT OPINION GNs can be synthesized in various size ranges, and their biocompatibility can be improved through surface functionalization and doping. These can be used as PS to generate ROS or conjugated with other PS molecules for treating deep-seated tumors. With increasing evidence on biosafety, such materials offer hope as antitumor therapeutics.

Abstract
The goal of this work was to examine the heat-sensitizing effects of Janus-coated magnetic nanoparticles (JMNPs) as a vehicle for 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) and Quercetin (Qu) in C6 and OLN-93 cell lines. The cellular uptake of nanoparticles was evaluated using Prussian blue staining and ICP-OES after monolayer culturing of C6 (rat brain cancer cell) and OLN-93 (normal rat brain cell) cells. The cells were treated with free 5-Fu, Qu, and MJNPs loaded with Qu/5-Fu for 24 h, followed by magnetic hyperthermia under an alternating magnetic field (AMF) at a temperature of 43 °C. Using the MTT test and Flow cytometry, the C6 and OLN-93 cells were investigated after being subjected to hyperthermia with and without magnetic nanoparticles. The results of Prussian blue staining confirmed the potential of MJNPs as carriers that facilitate the uptake of drugs by cancer cells. The results showed that the combined application of Qu/5-Fu/MJNPs with hyperthermia significantly increased the amount of ROS production compared to interventions without MJNPs. The therapeutic results demonstrated that the combination of Qu/5-Fu/MJNPs with hyperthermia considerably enhanced the rate of apoptotic and necrotic cell death compared to that of interventions without MJNPs. Furthermore, MTT findings indicated that controlled exposure of Qu/5-Fu/MJNPs to AMF caused a synergistic effect. The advanced Janus magnetic nanoparticles in this study can be proposed as a promising dual drug carrier (Qu/5-Fu) and thermosensitizer platform for dual-modal synergistic cancer therapy.

Abstract
The latest advancements in oncology involves the creation of multifunctional nanostructures. The integration of nanoparticles into the realm of cancer therapy has brought about a transformative shift, revolutionizing the approach to addressing existing challenges and limitations in tumor elimination. This is particularly crucial in combating the emergence of resistance, which has significantly undermined the effectiveness of treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. GO stands as a carbon-derived nanoparticle that is increasingly finding utility across diverse domains, notably in the realm of biomedicine. The utilization of GO nanostructures holds promise in the arena of oncology, enabling precise transportation of drugs and genetic material to targeted sites. GO nanomaterials offer the opportunity to enhance the pharmacokinetic behavior and bioavailability of drugs, with documented instances of these nanocarriers elevating drug accumulation at the tumor location. The GO nanostructures encapsulate genes, shielding them from degradation and facilitating their uptake within cancer cells, thereby promoting efficient gene silencing. The capability of GO to facilitate phototherapy has led to notable advancements in reducing tumor progression. By PDT and PTT combination, GO nanomaterials hold the capacity to diminish tumorigenesis. GO nanomaterials have the potential to trigger both cellular and innate immunity, making them promising contenders for vaccine development. Additionally, types of GO nanoparticles that respond to specific stimuli have been applied in cancer eradication, as well as for the purpose of cancer detection and biomarker diagnosis. Endocytosis serves as the mechanism through which GO nanomaterials are internalized. Given these advantages, the utilization of GO nanomaterials for tumor elimination comes highly recommended.

Abstract
Polymeric nanomaterials, nanogels, and solid nanoparticles can be fabricated using single or double emulsion methods. These materials hold great promise for various biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and their ability to control interactions with body fluids and cells. Despite the increasing use of nanoparticles in biomedicine and the plethora of publications on the topic, the biological behavior and efficacy of polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) have not been as extensively studied as those of other nanoparticles. The gap between the potential of PNPs and their applications can mainly be attributed to the incomplete understanding of their biological identity. Under physiological conditions, such as specific temperatures and adequate protein concentrations, PNPs become coated with a "protein corona" (PC), rendering them potent tools for proteomics studies. In this review, we initially investigate the synthesis routes and chemical composition of conventional PNPs to better comprehend how they interact with proteins. Subsequently, we comprehensively explore the effects of material and biological parameters on the interactions between nanoparticles and proteins, encompassing reactions such as hydrophobic bonding and electrostatic interactions. Moreover, we delve into recent advances in PNP-based models that can be applied to nanoproteomics, discussing the new opportunities they offer for the clinical translation of nanoparticles and early prediction of diseases. By addressing these essential aspects, we aim to shed light on the potential of polymeric nanoparticles for biomedical applications and foster further research in this critical area.

Abstract
In this work, the fabrication of the CuO on ZnCdS as a heterojunction nanocomposites were conducted by hydrothermal method and the synthesis method was confirmed by the XRD, XPS, EDS, UV-vis spectrum analysis. The CuO/ZnCdS was used as a photocathode in the bio-photoelectrochemical system (BPES) for tetracycline (TC) degradation under solar irradiation. The CuO/ZnCdS photocathode indicated substantial photocatalytic efficiency for TC degradation, due to the fast separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers. The ESR test evaluates the mechanism of degradation, and shows that ·OH, and ·O2- were contributed to TC degradation. The TC degradation was 1.59 times higher than the unilluminated process (98.72% vs 61.71). The photocatalysis test shows that the TC was degraded about 90.5% in 1.5 h. Then, the synthesized CuO/ZnCdS nanocomposites were studied for the biological application such as antifungal activities. CuO/ZnCdS nanocomposites depicted substantial antimicrobial activity versus Candida-albicans by in vitro process. Therefore, this study suggests the novel system for the antibiotics degradation, and as antifungal application.

Abstract
Graphene and its family have a great potential in tissue engineering because of their super mechanical properties, electrical conductivity and antibacterial properties. Considering other properties of graphene such as high surface area and ready-to-use functionalization according to the high oxygen-containing groups in graphene oxide family, some needs could be addressed in bone tissue engineering. Herein, we synthesized and decorated strontium nanoparticles (SrNPs) during the reduction process of graphene oxide using green and novel method. Without using hydrazine or chemical linkers, strontium NPs were synthesized and decorated on the surface of rGO simultaneously using BSA. The results of the UV–Vis, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy demonstrated that BSA could successfully reduce graphene oxide and decorated SrNPs on the surface of rGO. FESEM and TEM exhibited that in situ synthesized SrNPs had 25–30 nm diameter. Interestingly, cell viability for MC3T3-E1 cells treated with SrNPs-rGO, were significantly higher than BSA-rGO and GO in constant concentration. Furthermore, we investigated the alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP) of these nanosheets that the results demonstrated Sr-BSA-rGO enhanced ALP activity more than GO and BSA-rGO. Remarkably, the relative expression of RUNX 2 and Col1 genes of MC3T3-E1 cells was boosted when treated with Sr-BSA-rGO nanosheets. This study revealed that using proteins and other biomolecules as green and facile agent for decoration of smart nanoparticles on the surface of nanosheets, would be promising and assist researcher to replace the harsh and toxic hydrazine like materials with bio-friendly method. These results demonstrated that Sr-BSA-rGO had the excellent capability for regenerating bone tissue and could be used as an osteogenesis booster in implants.

Abstract
The poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-based nanoparticle was synthesized by surfactant-free emulsion polymerization method and then post modified with Calixarene using (3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane organo-silane as a linker after OH-treatment. The prepared structure was applied for efficient adsorption of Vanadium ions in the aqueous solution after characterization by FT-IR, SEM, TEM, DLS, and EDX. Additional investigations discovered that the prepared adsorbent has a good capacity to adsorb vanadium ions. The effect of key experimental factors was studied to find the optimal point of adsorbent efficiency including the initial concentration of analyte, sorbent dosage, pH of the solution, contact time, and type/quantity of the eluents. It was specified, the maximum adsorption capacity for the synthesized nanoparticles was obtained about 322 mg g-1. The adsorption mechanism was revealed that the model of Langmuir isotherm well-matched compared to the others due to the calculated equilibrium data. Besides, the kinetics of the adsorption process was fitted with pseudo-second-order. Eventually, the prepared adsorbent was successfully applied in vanadium adsorption from real water media.

Abstract
It is a great challenge to refine precious metals from e-wastes under mild conditions without hazardous reagents. Herein, black phosphorus (BP) was covalently functionalized with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) to obtain thermo/near-infrared (NIR)-responsive BP-P for precious metal recovery. Precious metals (Au, Ag, and Pd) with higher redox potentials than BP-P could be efficiently recovered by reduction-driven enrichment. Taking Au as an example, the recovery process presented fast kinetics (<15 min), excellent selectivity, and high efficiency (≈98 %). Remote operation with NIR light could generate heat by BP, which induced the hydrophilic-to-hydrophobic transition of PNIPAM, allowing the spontaneous gathering, facile collection, and practical recycle of BP-P following Au extraction. Thanks to the unique features of BP-P, not only could high-quality Au nanoparticles (20-30 nm) be economically extracted (cost: $0.731-1.222 g-1 Au nanoparticles; 5-6 orders of magnitude lower than the market price), but also the formed BP-P-Au nanocomposites have potential application in hydrogen evolution reaction.

Developing photothermal-responsive and anti-oxidative silk/dopamine nanoparticles decorated with drugs which were incorporated into silk films as a depot-based drug delivery. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 185:122-133. [PMID: 34147523 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.06.084] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2021] [Revised: 06/08/2021] [Accepted: 06/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Photothermal-responsive (PTR) and anti-oxidative silk fibroin/dopamine nanoparticles (SD NPs) mediated by tyrosinase were produced, and decorated either by curcumin or albumin (BSA) to produce SD/curcumin or SD/BSA NPs as drug delivery vehicles, respectively. Both drug loaded NPs were further blended into SF solutions to produce SD films, as a depot-based drug delivery. The reaction mechanisms for producing new SD NPs were proposed. Anti-oxidative activities for SD NPs were examined by H2O2 scavenge capacities of NPs. NPs were not cytotoxic at concentration of 1000μg/mL. Moreover, heparin was coated to SD films to produce SDH films for temporary implants. Cumulative release profiles for drugs loaded SDH films showed fast releases and then sustained releases stages. Furthermore, the releases of curcumin in sustained stages for varying SD/curcumin NPs loaded into SDH films were dependent on amounts of NPs. BSA releases profiles for SD/BSA NPs loaded into SDH films were similar to those profiles for the films carried with SD/curcumin NPs but release periods of BSA were short. Degrees of PTR effects with irradiation of near infrared on the releases of two drugs loaded films were different. Blood clot at wound areas of rats with SDH films implantations was not found for 24 h study.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive Janus nanoparticles (NPs) with a two-facial structure have been used widely in biomedical applications. Among several methods to prepare these NPs, surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) has received much attention due to the precise deposition of polymers on the surface of the substrate. In this study, Janus nanoparticles with asymmetric surface chemistry were prepared through a masking method in three steps involving the covalent deposition of super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) on the cross-linked substrate based on methotrexate (MTX)-grafted poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (CPM), surface functionalization of unreacted sites of immobilized SPIONs with 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide (BIBB) in order to prepare the macro-initiator (Br-Fe3O4-CPM), growing poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) on the surface of the macro-initiator through the SI-ATRP method. Optical microscopy was utilized to monitor the successful modification of SPIONs. Poly(methyl methacrylate)-iron oxide-poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PMMA-Fe3O4-PHEMA) microgel was exposed to optimum ultrasound (US) waves to prepare the PMMA-Fe3O4-PHEMA nanoparticle. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to confirm the precise deposition of polymers and the Janus structure. The MTX release of US-synthesized Janus NPs was studied in PBS at pH values of 7.4 and 5.8. The release data were analyzed using the Excel add-in DDSolver program to evaluate the kinetics of the drug release process from the nanocarrier under different pH values.
