Antoniou M, Melagraki G, Lynch I, Afantitis A. In Vitro Toxicological Insights from the Biomedical Applications of Iron Carbide Nanoparticles in Tumor Theranostics: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:734. [PMID: 38727328 PMCID: PMC11085367 DOI: 10.3390/nano14090734] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 04/13/2024] [Accepted: 04/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
(1) Background: Despite the encouraging indications regarding the suitability (biocompatibility) of iron carbide nanoparticles (ICNPs) in various biomedical applications, the published evidence of their biosafety is dispersed and relatively sparse. The present review synthesizes the existing nanotoxicological data from in vitro studies relevant to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. (2) Methods: A systematic review was performed in electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Wiley Online Library) on December 2023, searching for toxicity assessments of ICNPs of different sizes, coatings, and surface modifications investigated in immortalized human and murine cell lines. The risk of bias in the studies was assessed using the ToxRTool for in vitro studies. (3) Results: Among the selected studies (n = 22), cell viability emerged as the most frequently assessed cellular-level toxicity endpoint. The results of the meta-analysis showed that cell models treated with ICNPs had a reduced cell viability (SMD = -2.531; 95% CI: -2.959 to -2.109) compared to untreated samples. A subgroup analysis was performed due to the high magnitude of heterogeneity (I2 = 77.1%), revealing that ICNP concentration and conjugated ligands are the factors that largely influence toxicity (p < 0.001). (4) Conclusions: A dose-dependent cytotoxicity of ICNP exposure was observed, regardless of the health status of the cell, tested organism, and NP size. Inconsistent reporting of ICNP physicochemical properties was noted, which hinders comparability among the studies. A comprehensive exploration of the available in vivo studies is required in future research to assess the safety of ICNPs' use in bioimaging and cancer treatment.

Abstract
Nanozymes have attracted widespread attention, and rationally designing high-activity nanozymes to improve their application performance are a long-term objective. Herein, taking metal-organic frameworks-derived Co3O4 polyhedron with large surface area and high porosity as nanoconfinement carriers, Co3O4@MnO2@CDs polyhedron was successfully synthesized by the room-temperature reduction of MnO4- ions and physical load of carbon dots (CDs). Through cancer cells-triggered double antibody sandwich strategy, the Co3O4@MnO2@CDs polyhedron were introduced to the TiO2 nanoparticle (NPs) modified electrode, leading to the decreased photocurrent. The Co3O4@MnO2@CDs polyhedron can not only quench the photocurrent of TiO2 NPs, also act as nanozymes to catalyze precipitates. Moreover, the precipitates can not only reduce the photoelectrochemical (PEC) response, also increase the quenching capacity of the Co3O4@MnO2@CDs polyhedron. Additionally, the steric hindrance effect of the Co3O4@MnO2@CDs-Ab conjugates further weaken the photocurrent. Based on the multifunctional Co3O4@MnO2@CDs polyhedron, the proposed PEC biosensor for the detection of A549 cancer cells exhibits a wide linear range from 102 to 106 cells/mL and a low detection limit of 11 cells/mL. Furthermore, this strategy can differentiate between lung cancer patients and healthy individuals. The designed multifunctional Co3O4@MnO2@CDs nanozymes provide a new horizon for PEC detection of cancer cells, and may have great potential in early clinical diagnosis and biomedical research.

Abstract
The healing of biofilm-infected diabetic wounds characterized by a deteriorative tissue microenvironment represents a substantial clinical challenge. Current treatments remain unsatisfactory due to the limited antibiofilm efficacy caused by weak tissue and biofilm permeability of drugs and the risk of reinfection during the healing process. To address these issues, an integrated therapeutic and preventive nanozyme-based microneedle (denoted as Fe2 C/GOx@MNs) is engineered. The dissolvable tips with enough mechanical strength can deliver and rapidly release Fe2 C nanoparticles (NPs)/glucose oxidase (GOx) in the biofilm active regions, enhancing tissue and biofilm permeability of Fe2 C NPs/GOx, ultimately achieving highly efficient biofilm elimination. Meanwhile, the chitosan backing layer can not only act as an excellent physical barrier between the wound bed and the external environment, but also prevent the bacterial reinvasion during wound healing with its superior antibacterial property. Significantly, the biofilm elimination and reinfection prevention abilities of Fe2 C/GOx@MNs on wound healing are proved on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-biofilm-infected diabetic mouse model with full-thickness wound. Together, these results demonstrate the promising clinical application of Fe2 C/GOx@MNs in biofilm-infected wound healing.

[PMID: 37538843 PMCID: PMC10394843 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1219733] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/06/2023] [Indexed: 08/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP), particularly those with high virulence, cause invasive disease in clinical settings. An epidemiological investigation was conducted on the evolution, virulence, and antimicrobial resistance of CRKP isolates in two tertiary teaching hospitals in Jiangsu, China from November 2020 to December 2021. There were 31 different CRKP strains discovered. We performed whole genome sequencing (WGS) on 13 SHV, cmlv, and FosA6-producing CRKP to reveal molecular characteristics. Five ST15/ST11 isolates had CRISPR-Cas systems. By conjugation tests, KPC-2 can be transmitted horizontally to E. coil. A conjugative pHN7A8-related multi-resistance plasmid (KPC-2, blaCTX-M-65, blaTEM-1, fosA3, catII, and rmtB) was first discovered in CRKP clinical isolates. Using bacteriological testing, a serum killing assay, and an infection model with Galleria mellonella, three ST11-K64 KPC-2 generating carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) were identified. These strains harbored a virulent plasmid and an IncFII-family pKPC/pHN7A8 conjugative plasmid, which led to hypervirulence and resistance. One of these CR-hvKPs, which co-harbored KPC-2, NDM-6, SHV-182, SHV-64, and blaCTX-M-122 genes, was first discovered. Importantly, this CR-hvKP strain also produced biofilm and had non-inferior fitness. The widespread use of ceftazidime/avibactam might provide this CR-hvKP with a selective advantage; hence, immediate action is required to stop its dissemination. Another important finding is the novel ST6136 in K. pneumoniae. Finally, the sterilization efficiency rates of Fe2C nanoparticles in CRKP were more than 98%. Furthermore, our novel antibacterial Fe2C nanoparticles may also provide a therapeutic strategy for infections.

Nanotechnology as a Promising Approach to Combat Multidrug Resistant Bacteria: A Comprehensive Review and Future Perspectives. Biomedicines 2023; 11:biomedicines11020413. [PMID: 36830949 PMCID: PMC9953167 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11020413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 37.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2022] [Revised: 01/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
The wide spread of antibiotic resistance has been alarming in recent years and poses a serious global hazard to public health as it leads to millions of deaths all over the world. The wide spread of resistance and sharing resistance genes between different types of bacteria led to emergence of multidrug resistant (MDR) microorganisms. This problem is exacerbated when microorganisms create biofilms, which can boost bacterial resistance by up to 1000-fold and increase the emergence of MDR infections. The absence of novel and potent antimicrobial compounds is linked to the rise of multidrug resistance. This has sparked international efforts to develop new and improved antimicrobial agents as well as innovative and efficient techniques for antibiotic administration and targeting. There is an evolution in nanotechnology in recent years in treatment and prevention of the biofilm formation and MDR infection. The development of nanomaterial-based therapeutics, which could overcome current pathways linked to acquired drug resistance, is a hopeful strategy for treating difficult-to-treat bacterial infections. Additionally, nanoparticles' distinct size and physical characteristics enable them to target biofilms and treat resistant pathogens. This review highlights the current advances in nanotechnology to combat MDR and biofilm infection. In addition, it provides insight on development and mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, spread of MDR and XDR infection, and development of nanoparticles and mechanisms of their antibacterial activity. Moreover, this review considers the difference between free antibiotics and nanoantibiotics, and the synergistic effect of nanoantibiotics to combat planktonic bacteria, intracellular bacteria and biofilm. Finally, we will discuss the strength and limitations of the application of nanotechnology against bacterial infection and future perspectives.

Abstract
The misuse and mismanagement of antibiotics have made the treatment of bacterial infections a challenge. This challenge is magnified when bacteria form biofilms, which can increase bacterial resistance up to 1000 times. It is desirable to develop anti-infective materials with antibacterial activity and no resistance to drugs. With the rapid development of nanotechnology, anti-infective strategies based on metal and metal oxide nanomaterials have been widely used in antibacterial and antibiofilm treatments. Here, this review expounds on the state-of-the-art applications of metal and metal oxide nanomaterials in bacterial infective diseases. A specific attention is given to the antibacterial mechanisms of metal and metal oxide nanomaterials, including disrupting cell membranes, damaging proteins, and nucleic acid. Moreover, a practical antibiofilm mechanism employing these metal and metal oxide nanomaterials is also introduced based on the composition of biofilm, including extracellular polymeric substance, quorum sensing, and bacteria. Finally, current challenges and future perspectives of metal and metal oxide nanomaterials in the anti-infective field are presented to facilitate their development and use.

Abstract
The spread of bacterial resistance is a rising serious threat to global public health, and has created an urgent need for the development of a new generation of antibacterial nano-agents to take the place of antibiotics. In this work, a multifunctional nanoplatform based on boron nanosheet (B NS)-coated quaternized chitosan (QCS) and the nitric oxide (NO) donor N,N'-di-sec-butyl-N,N'-dinitroso-1,4-phenylenediamine (BNN6) (B-QCS-BNN6) was prepared via a liquid-phase exfoliation and electrostatic adsorption method. The 2D B NSs could convert near-infrared (NIR) light into heat energy as well as assemble positively charged QCS and BNN6 to trap negatively charged bacteria, and the positive charge made it easily captured by bacteria, increasing the opportunities for NO diffusion to the bacterial surface. The B-QCS-BNN6 nanoplatform not only exhibited photothermal therapy (PTT) efficacy but could also control NO release precisely after stimulation with an 808 nm laser for the rapid and effective treatment of typical Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The enhanced PTT/NO antibacterial function achieved >99.9% inactivation of bacteria within 5 min. Furthermore, this synergetic antibacterial strategy could also be conveniently employed for highly efficient disinfection of a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infected wound and promotion of the reconstruction of damaged tissues for in vivo MRSA-infected wound therapy.
