The protective effects of chitosan and curcumin nanoparticles against the hydroxyapatite nanoparticles-induced neurotoxicity in rats. Sci Rep 2024; 14:21009. [PMID: 39251717 PMCID: PMC11385554 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-70794-9] [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: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 08/21/2024] [Indexed: 09/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HANPs) have extensive applications in biomedicine and tissue engineering. However, little information is known about their toxicity. Here, we aim to investigate the possible neurotoxicity of HANPs and the possible protective role of chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs) and curcumin nanoparticles (CUNPs) against this toxicity. In our study, HANPs significantly reduced the levels of neurotransmitters, including acetylcholine (Ach), dopamine (DA), serotonin (SER), epinephrine (EPI), and norepinephrine (NOR). HANPs significantly suppressed cortical expression of the genes controlling mitochondrial biogenesis such as peroxisome proliferator activator receptor gamma coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) and mitochondrial transcription factor A (mTFA). Our findings revealed significant neuroinflammation associated with elevated apoptosis, lipid peroxidation, oxidative DNA damage and nitric oxide levels with significant decline in the antioxidant enzymes activities and glutathione (GSH) levels in HANPs-exposed rats. Meanwhile, co-supplementation of HANP-rats with CNPs and/or CUNPs significantly showed improvement in levels of neurotransmitters, mitochondrial biogenesis, oxidative stress, DNA damage, and neuroinflammation. The co-supplementation with both CNPs and CUNPs was more effective to ameliorate HANPs-induced neurotoxicity than each one alone. So, CNPs and CUNPs could be promising protective agents for prevention of HANPs-induced neurotoxicity.

Therapeutic activity of green synthesized selenium nanoparticles from turmeric against cisplatin-induced oxido-inflammatory stress and cell death in mice kidney. Biosci Rep 2023; 43:BSR20231130. [PMID: 37902021 PMCID: PMC10643052 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20231130] [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: 07/15/2023] [Revised: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 10/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) is a commonly prescribed chemotherapeutic agent; however, its associated nephrotoxicity limits its clinical efficacy and sometimes requires discontinuation of its use. The existing study was designed to explore the reno-therapeutic efficacy of turmeric (Tur) alone or conjugated with selenium nanoparticles (Tur-SeNPs) against CDDP-mediated renal impairment in mice and the mechanisms underlying this effect. Mice were orally treated with Tur extract (200 mg/kg) or Tur-SeNPs (0.5 mg/kg) for 7 days after administration of a single dose of CDDP (5 mg/kg, i.p.). N-acetyl cysteine NAC (100 mg/kg) was used as a standard antioxidant compound. The results revealed that Tur-SeNPs counteracted CDDP-mediated serious renal effects in treated mice. Compared with the controls, Tur or Tur-SeNPs therapy remarkably decreased the kidney index along with the serum levels of urea, creatinine, Kim-1, and NGAL of the CDDP-injected mice. Furthermore, Tur-SeNPs ameliorated the renal oxidant status of CDDP group demonstrated by decreased MDA and NO levels along with elevated levels of SOD, CAT, GPx, GR, GSH, and gene expression levels of HO-1. Noteworthy, lessening of renal inflammation was exerted by Tur-SeNPs via lessening of IL-6 and TNF-α besides down-regulation of NF-κB gene expression in mouse kidneys. Tur-SeNPs treatment also restored the renal histological features attained by CDDP challenge and hindered renal apoptosis through decreasing the Bax levels and increasing Bcl-2 levels. Altogether, these outcomes suggest that the administration of Tur conjugated with SeNPs is effective neoadjuvant chemotherapy to guard against the renal adverse effects that are associated with CDDP therapy.

Podocin, mTOR, and CHOP dysregulation contributes to nephrotoxicity induced of lipopolysaccharide/diclofenac combination in rats: Curcumin and silymarin could afford protective effect. Life Sci 2023; 330:121996. [PMID: 37536613 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2023.121996] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2023] [Revised: 07/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 08/05/2023]
Abstract
AIM Sepsis is a common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are the main gram-negative bacterial cell wall component with a well-documented inflammatory impact. Diclofenac (DIC) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with a potential nephrotoxic effect. Curcumin (CUR) and silymarin (SY) are natural products with a wide range of pharmacological activities, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ones. The objective of this study was to examine the protective impact of CUR and SY against kidney damage induced by LPS/DIC co-exposure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four groups of rats were used; control; LPS/DIC, LPS/DIC + CUR, and LPS/DIC + SY group. LPS/DIC combination induced renal injury at an LPS dose much lower than a nephrotoxic one. KEY FINDING Nephrotoxicity was confirmed by histopathological examination and significant elevation of renal function markers. LPS/DIC induced oxidative stress in renal tissues, evidenced by decreasing reduced glutathione and superoxide dismutase, and increasing lipid peroxidation. Inflammatory response of LPS/DIC was associated with a significant increase of renal IL-1β and TNF-α. Treatment with either CUR or SY shifted measured parameters to the opposite side. Moreover, LPS/DIC exposure was associated with upregulation of mTOR and endoplasmic reticulum stress protein (CHOP) and downregulation of podocin These effects were accompanied by reduced gene expression of cystatin C and KIM-1. CUR and SY ameliorated LPS/DIC effect on the aforementioned genes and protein significantly. SIGNIFICANCE This study confirms the potential nephrotoxicity; mechanisms include upregulation of mTOR, CHOP, cystatin C, and KIM-1 and downregulation of podocin. Moreover, both CUR and SY are promising nephroprotective products against LPS/DIC co-exposure.

Abstract
Introduction The functional reconstruction of periodontal tissue defects remains a clinical challenge due to excessive and prolonged host response to various endogenous and exogenous pro-inflammatory stimuli. Thus, a biomimetic nanoplatform with the capability of modulating inflammatory response in a microenvironment-responsive manner is attractive for regenerative therapy of periodontal tissue. Methods Herein, a facile and green design of engineered bone graft materials was developed by integrating a biomimetic apatite nanocomposite with a smart-release coating, which could realize inflammatory modulation by “on-demand” delivery of the anti-inflammatory agent through a pH-sensing mechanism. Results In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that this biocompatible nanoplatform could facilitate the clearance of reactive oxygen species in human periodontal ligament stem cells under inflammatory conditions via inhibiting the production of endogenous proinflammatory mediators, in turn contributing to the enhanced healing efficacy of periodontal tissue. Moreover, this system exhibited effective antimicrobial activity against common pathogenic bacteria in the oral cavity, which is beneficial for the elimination of exogenous pro-inflammatory factors from bacterial infection during healing of periodontal tissue. Conclusion The proposed strategy provides a versatile apatite nanocomposite as a promising “inflammation scavenger” and propels the development of intelligent bone graft materials for periodontal and orthopedic applications.

Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles promote mitochondrial-based pyroptosis via activating calcium homeostasis and redox imbalance in vascular smooth muscle cells. NANOTECHNOLOGY 2022; 33:5101.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAP) have been widely used in various fields because of their natural biological origin and functional properties. The emerging evidence on their toxicities has attracted research interest. HAP-induced vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) damage is a key step in vascular calcification (VC), particularly in patients with chronic kidney disease. However, the injury effects and mechanism of action of HAP on VSMCs have not been extensively investigated. This study comprehensively characterized commercially available HAP and investigated its adverse biological effects in cultured A7R5 cells.In vitroexperiments revealed that internalized HAP was localized in lysosomes, followed by the release of Ca2+owing to the low pH microenvironment. Upon Ca2+homeostasis, Ca2+enters the mitochondria, leading to the simultaneous generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS subsequently attack mitochondrial transmembrane potentials, promote mitochondrial ROS production, and oxidize mitochondrial DNA (Ox-mtDNA). Mitochondrial permeability-transition pores open, followed by the release of more Ox-mtDNA from the mitochondria into the cytosol due to the redox imbalance. This activates NLRP3/caspase-1/gasdermin D-dependent pyroptosis and finally excretes inflammatory factors to induce VC; an antioxidant could rescue this process. It has been suggested that HAP could induce an imbalance in intracellular Ca2+homeostasis in A7R5 cells, followed by the promotion of mitochondrial dysfunction and cell pyroptosis, finally enhancing VC. To detect thein vivotoxicity of HAP, mice were treated with Cy7-labelled HAP NPs for 24 h.In vivoresults also demonstrated that HAP accumulated in the kidneys, accompined with increased Ca concentration, upregulated oxidative stress-related factor and kidney damage. Overall, our research elucidates the mechanism of calcium homeostasis and redox imbalance, providing insights into the prevention of HAP-induced cell death.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-induced cardiovascular diseases have attracted much attention. Upon entering the blood circulation system, these particles have the potency to induce cardiomyocytes, leading to cardiac failure or myocardial ischemia, and the molecular mechanism remains to be completely clarified. In this study, the cardiac toxicity of rats orally exposed to hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAPNPs) has been observed through an increase in myocardial infarction serum markers including CK-MB and alterations in routine blood factors, expression of apoptosis-related protein P53, and increased levels of serum inflammatory markers represented by the tumor necrosis factor alpha and Interleukin-6, as well as a decline in heart antioxidant enzymes and reduced glutathione level, while an induction in lipid peroxidation and nitric oxide has been observed, as well as notable histological and histochemical alterations in the heart of these animals. mRNA and protein expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) were elevated in the myocardium. However, the coadministration of chitosan nanoparticles (CsNPs) and/or curcumin nanoparticles (CurNPs) successfully modulated these alterations and induced activation in antioxidant parameters. The present data suggest that HAPNPs-induced apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway may play a crucial role in cardiac tissue damage and the early treatment with CsNPs and CurNPs may protect the heart from infarction induced by HAPNPs toxic effect.

Abstract
Abstract
Since that use of bioactive mineral components of dental composites have been accompanied with various toxicities, including neurotoxicity, the aim of the study was to examine the effect of chronic application of hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate and amorphous calcium phosphate in nanoparticles (nHA, nTCP, nACP) to parameters of sensitivity to thermal pain stimuli. Although the systemic toxicity of those compounds is frequently attributed to an oxidative damage, we also decided to examine the potential effects of Filipendula ulmaria extract on nociception alterations induced by the nano-sized mineral components of dental composites. Forty-two Wistar albino rats were divided into control and six experimental (equal) groups that orally received either nHA, nTCP, nACP alone, or simultaneously with FU extract for 30 days. Nociceptive alterations were quantified in the hot plate and tail flick test. The chronic administration of nHA and nACP resulted in significant increase in reactivity to thermal stimulus, with no significant change observed in nTCP group when compared to the control in the hot plate test, while simultaneous application of FU extract prevented any significant alteration of time to respond. The reaction time in the tail flick test for all three groups that received only nano calcium phosphates was reduced, with no changes in the groups treated with FU extract. The results of this study confirmed that calcium phosphates of mineral components of dental composites produced hyperalgesic effects, and this side effect were significantly attenuated by antioxidant supplementation.

Abstract
Mineral components of dental composites are used in many medical and dental applications, including preventive, restorative, and regenerative dentistry. To evaluate the behavioural alterations induced by nanosized particles of novel dental composites, by means of depressive level and cognitive functions, experimental groups of rats were chronically administered with nanosized hydroxyapatite (HA), tricalcium phosphate (TCP), and amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) with or without simultaneous application of Filipendula ulmaria L. (FU) methanolic extract. The significant prodepressant action was observed in groups solely treated with HA and ACP. Besides, prolonged treatment with ACP also resulted in a significant decline in cognitive functions estimated in the novel object recognition test. The adverse impact of calcium phosphates on estimated behavioural functions was accompanied by increased oxidative damage and apoptotic markers in the prefrontal cortex, as well as diminished specific neurotrophin (BDNF) and gabaergic expression. The results of our investigation showed that simultaneous antioxidant supplementation with FU extract prevented calcium phosphate-induced behavioural disturbances, as well as prooxidative and apoptotic actions, with the simultaneous restoration of BDNF and GABA-A receptors in the prefrontal cortex. These findings suggest that FU may be useful in the prevention of prodepressant impact and cognitive decline as early as the manifestation of calcium phosphate-induced neurotoxicity.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite has been extensively used in tissue engineering due to its osteogenic potency, but its present toxicological facts are relatively insufficient. Here, the possible gastric toxicity of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles was evaluated biochemically to determine oxidant and antioxidant parameters in rats' stomach tissues. At results, hydroxyapatite nanoparticles have declined stomach antioxidant enzymes and reduced glutathione level, while an induction in lipid peroxidation and nitric oxide has been observed. Furthermore, DNA oxidation was analyzed by the suppression of toll-like receptors 2, nuclear factor-kappa B and Forkhead box P3 gene expression and also 8-Oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine level as a genotoxicity indicator. Various pro-inflammatory gene products have been identified that intercede a vital role in proliferation and apoptosis suppression, among these products: tumor suppressor p53, tumor necrosis factor-α and interliukin-6. Moreover, the hydroxyapatite-treated group revealed wide histological alterations and significant elevation in the number of proliferating cell nuclear antigen-positive cells, which has been observed in the mucosal layer of the small intestine, and these alterations are an indication of small intestine injury, while the appearance of chitosan and curcumin nanoparticles in the combination group showed improvement in all the above parameters with inhibition of toxic-oxidant parameters and activation of antioxidant parameters.
