PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 10:plants10122556. [PMID: 34961025 PMCID: PMC8708393 DOI: 10.3390/plants10122556] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2021] [Revised: 11/17/2021] [Accepted: 11/19/2021] [Indexed: 05/04/2023]
Abstract
Zinc is an essential element that is also renowned for widespread contamination and toxicity at high concentrations. The present study was carried out to analyze the responses induced by lower, as well as higher, doses of zinc (0-200 mg/L), in the form of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) in wheat and maize, for a period of 21 days. Accumulation of zinc increases with increasing Zn doses in both wheat and maize, with higher doses being in wheat (121 mg/kg in root and 66 mg/kg in shoot) than in maize (95 mg/kg in root and 48 mg/kg in shoot). The activity of alpha-amylase showed increase, while that of dehydrogenase decline, in response to ZnO NPs. The length and biomass of plants and photosynthetic pigments increased slightly upon ZnO NPs supply. Malondialdehyde content showed a progressive increase in root and shoot of both plants. However, in response, antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, guaiacol peroxidase, and catalase) showed increase up to lower concentrations (100 mg/L) of ZnO NPs but decline variably at higher levels (150-200 mg/L) in wheat and maize. The results suggest that lower supply of ZnO NPs (100 mg/L) could be stimulatory to the growth of plants and can be recommended as a Zn fertilizer source for crop production.

Abstract
Abstract
Nanostructured ZnO thin films were developed on medical-glass substrates using a sol gel dip coating process and calcinated at various temperatures (350, 450, and 550 C°). The impact of Co doping and effect temperature calcination on the structural, optical and electrical properties of ZnO:Co nanostructured thin films were investigated using XRD, SEM, Hall effect, and UV-Visible spectra measurements. Both nanostructured films have hexagonal-wurtzite crystals composition according to XRD analysis with the average crystallite sizes of ZnO:Co nanostructured thin films are of (26.7-102.1) nm. The FESEM findings show that the undoped ZnO thin film has the smoothest and more regular surface compared to the doped ZnO films, indicating that both films with nanoscale ZnO particles. The average transmittance of all films is about 69–91 % in the visible range and the band gap energy decreased from 3.283 to 3.205 eV with increase of temperature calcination. The Hall impact indicates that all thin films are n-type and the electrical conductivity increase from (12.4-16.2) in the ZnO:Co thin films. This one of the outstanding property of ZnO thin films, both undoped and doped with cobalt, enables the fabrication of transparent electrodes for flat panel displays, metal-insulator-semiconductor diodes, and solar cells.

Abstract
In this work, ZnO nanorods (ZnO NRs) with different sizes were hydrothermally grown on the surface of Whatman filter paper for the fabrication of a microfluidic paper-based device (μPAD) for the simultaneous detection of glucose and uric acid. As dual enzymatic reaction was employed for the colorimetric detection in this μPAD, the presence of ZnO NRs promoted the enzyme immobilization thus significantly enhancing the colorimetric signal. The coffee ring effect was effectively conquered by the uniform distribution of ZnO NR as well as a specialized double-layered μPAD design. Meanwhile, two color indicators with distinct colors were used to provide complementary results to better quantify the concentration of the analytes by naked eye. As a result, two linear calibration curves were obtained for the detection of glucose (0.01-10 mmol L-1) and uric acid (0.01-5 mmol L-1), along with a LOD of 3 μmol L-1 for glucose and 4 μmol L-1 for uric acid, respectively. The practical usefulness of the proposed μPAD was further validated by the simultaneous analysis of glucose and uric acid in serum samples and urine samples.

Abstract
Here, we report on an electrochemical biosensor based on core-shell structure of gold nano/micro-islands (NMIs) and electropolymerized imprinted ortho-phenylenediamine (o-PD) for detection of heart-fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP). The shape and distribution of NMIs (the core) were tuned by controlled electrodeposition of gold on a thin layer of electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ERGO). NMIs feature a large active surface area to achieve a low detection limit (2.29 fg mL-1, a sensitivity of 1.34 × 1013 μA mM-1) and a wide linear range of detection (1 fg mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1) in PBS. Facile template H-FABP removal from the layer (the shell) in less than 1 min, high specificity against interference from myoglobin and troponin T, great stability at ambient temperature, and rapidity in detection of H-FABP (approximately 30 s) are other advantages of this biomimetic biosensor. The electrochemical measurements in human serum, human plasma, and bovine serum showed acceptable recovery (between 91.1 ± 1.7 and 112.9 ± 2.1%) in comparison with the ELISA method. Moreover, the performance of the biosensor in clinical serum showed lower detection time and limit of detection against lateral flow assay (LFA) rapid test kits, as a reference method. Ultimately, the proposed biosensor based on the core-shell structure of gold NMIs and MIP opens interesting avenues in the detection of proteins with low cost, high sensitivity and significantstability for clinical applications.

Abstract
This work reports the study of ZnO-based anodes for the photoelectrochemical regeneration of the oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). The latter is the most important coenzyme for dehydrogenases. However, the high costs of NAD+ limit the use of such enzymes at the industrial level. The influence of the ZnO morphologies (flower-like, porous film, and nanowires), showing different surface area and crystallinity, was studied. The detection of diluted solutions (0.1 mM) of the reduced form of the coenzyme (NADH) was accomplished by the flower-like and the porous films, whereas concentrations greater than 20 mM were needed for the detection of NADH with nanowire-shaped ZnO-based electrodes. The photocatalytic activity of ZnO was reduced at increasing concentrations of NAD+ because part of the ultraviolet irradiation was absorbed by the coenzyme, reducing the photons available for the ZnO material. The higher electrochemical surface area of the flower-like film makes it suitable for the regeneration reaction. The illumination of the electrodes led to a significant increase on the NAD+ regeneration with respect to both the electrochemical oxidation in dark and the only photochemical reaction. The tests with formate dehydrogenase demonstrated that 94% of the regenerated NAD+ was enzymatically active.

Abstract
Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are increasingly produced and used today, but health risks due to their occupational airborne exposure are incompletely understood. Traditionally, nanoparticle (NP) toxicity is tested by introducing NPs to cells through suspension in the growth media, but this does not mimic respiratory exposures. Different methods to introduce aerosolized NPs to cells cultured at the air-liquid-interface (ALI) have been developed, but require specialized equipment and are associated with higher cost and time. Therefore, it is important to determine whether aerosolized setups induce different cellular responses to NPs than traditional ones, which could provide new insights into toxicological responses of NP exposure. This study evaluates the response of human alveolar epithelial cells (A549) to zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs after dry aerosol exposure in the Nano Aerosol Chamber for In Vitro Toxicity (NACIVT) system as compared to conventional, suspension-based exposure: cells at ALI or submerged. Similar to other studies using nebulization of ZnO NPs, we found that dry aerosol exposure of ZnO NPs via the NACIVT system induced different cellular responses as compared to conventional methods. ZnO NPs delivered at 1.0 µg/cm2 in the NACIVT system, mimicking occupational exposure, induced significant increases in metabolic activity and release of the cytokines IL-8 and MCP-1, but no differences were observed using traditional exposures. While factors associated with the method of exposure, such as differing NP aggregation, may contribute toward the different cellular responses observed, our results further encourage the use of more physiologically realistic exposure systems for evaluating airborne ENM toxicity.

Abstract
In this work, the surface of nanostructured fluorine-doped ZnO (nZnO·F) is functionalized with protein A (PrA), and used as a model biomolecule. The chemical procedure is characterized by several analytical techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, water contact angle analysis, and fluorescence microscopy. The surface modification of nZnO·F by binding increasing concentrations of PrA is also investigated by two label-free optical techniques, i.e., the spectroscopic reflectometry and the steady-state photoluminescence. The results are compared with those obtained using undoped nZnO substrates in order to highlight the better performances of nZnO·F due to the fluorine doping. The results of this study pave the way for the design and realization of a ZnO-based nanostructured platform for label-free optical sensing.

Abstract
ZnO quantum dots (QDs) are very well known for their antimicrobial activity against several bacteria, however, we still do not know any protein targets of ZnO QDs. In order to determine possible protein target, interaction of ZnO QDs was studied with CRP (Cyclic AMP Receptor Protein), a global transcription regulator protein. Binding between ZnO QDs and E. coli CRP was mainly studied by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), structural changes of protein were monitored by fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy, and in-vitro transcription assay was used to asses CRP activity. Result shows that both electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions are involved in CRP-ZnO binding. Different spectroscopic investigation revealed that ZnO binding to CRP leads to extensive unfolding and destabilization, which ultimately leads to protein aggregation. It was also observed that in presence of ZnO dimerization ability of CRP was sharply reduced. In-vitro transcription assay also shows that CRP activity gets severely compromised on ZnO binding. All our data suggests that ZnO QD binding to CRP and consequent structural and functional changes most probably plays a crucial role in ZnO QD induced antimicrobial action.

Abstract
The advance of reliable and eco-friendly strategies for the development of nanoparticles is a fundamental key to the discipline of nanotechnology. Nanoparticles have been continuously evaluated and have been used in many industrial applications for a decade. In particular, the role of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) has received a great interest because of various properties such as UV filter properties and photochemical, antifungal, high catalyst, and antimicrobial activities. Because of the high rate of poisonous chemicals and the extreme surroundings used within the chemical and physical methods, the green techniques have been adopted using plants, fungi, bacteria, and algae for the synthesis of nanoparticles. Therefore, this paper considers various green synthesis methods to provide the evidence of ZnO NP role to several applications, and in addition, biomedical applications and toxic effect were reviewed. Therefore, the paper used various secondary sources to collect the relevant review articles. From the findings, the green route of synthesis is rather safe and eco-friendly when compared to physical and chemical means of synthesis. On the other hand, its biomedical applications in this sector are increased day by day in various processes including bioimaging, drug delivery, biosensors, and gene delivery. With respect to its toxicity properties, ZnO NPs can act as smart weapons against multiple drug-resistant microorganisms and as a talented substitute for antibiotics.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) are presented as potential cancer therapeutic agent based on their surface properties. In this study, the most abundant blood proteins, albumin, fibrinogen and apo-transferrin, were covalently bound (c-ZnO NPs) and nonspecifically adsorbed (n-ZnO NPs) onto ZnO NPs to evaluate the role of modification route on protein structure and their effects on glioblastoma cells. The success of modification and structures of proteins on ZnO NPs were characterized with FT-IR. It was found that non-covalent interaction significantly damaged the secondary structure of proteins compared to those covalently attached to the ZnO nanoparticle. The effects of modified ZnO NPs were investigated by evaluating viability, cycle, and death mechanisms of glioblastoma (U373) cells. n-ZnO NPs were found more toxic compared to the pristine and c-ZnO NPs. However, c-ZnO NPs with albumin and apo-transferrin both perturbed the cell cycle function, and decreased the necrotic cell death rate of U373 cells below toxic concentration, suggesting their potential curative effect on glioblastoma cells.

Abstract
This study investigates the morphological change in colloidal ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized with trioctylphosphine (TOP). The addition of TOP to the synthesis causes an evolution in the shape of ZnO NPs to tadpole-like particles from quasi-spherical particles at 300 °C. The total length of the tadpole-like ZnO NPs can be modified by controlling the molar ratio of TOP to oleylamine (OLAM). The tadpole-like particles are elongated as the concentration of TOP increased but decreased when the addition of TOP is excessive. These tadpole-like ZnO NPs transform to quasi-spherical NPs regardless of the amount of TOP at a reaction time of 3 h at 300 °C. At 200 °C, the effect of TOP on the ZnO NP synthesis differs from that at 300 °C. The ZnO NPs synthesized by controlling the molar ratios of surfactant ligands (TOP:OLAM = 2:100 and 70:100) at 200 °C share similar amorphous structures, while a crystalline ZnO phase is formed when the reaction time is 3 h. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis shows that TOP influences the oxidation of ZnO and suggests that a combination of OLAM and TOP plays a role in controlling the shape of ZnO NPs. These results provide critical insights to the utilization of TOP for a shape controlling ligand in ZnO NPs and suggest a new route to design oxide NPs.

Abstract
In this work a peptide based gas sensor array based of ZnO nanoparticles (ZnONPs) has been realized. Four different pentapeptides molecularly modeled for alcohols and esters having cysteine as a common spacer have been immobilized onto ZnONPs. ZnONPs have been morphologically and spectroscopically characterized. Modified nanoparticles have been then deposited onto quartz crystal microbalances (QCMs) and used as gas sensors with nitrogen as carrier gas. Analysis of the pure compounds modeled demonstrated a nice fitting of modeling with real data. The peptide based ZnONPs had very low sensitivity to water, compared to previously studied AuNPs peptide based gas sensors allowing the use of the array on samples with high water content. Real samples of fruit juices have been assayed; stability of the signal, good repeatability, and discrimination ability of the array was achieved.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is an emerging discipline that studies matters at the nanoscale level. Eventually, the goal is to manipulate matters at the atomic level to serve mankind. One growing area in nanotechnology is biomedical applications, which involve disease management and the discovery of basic biological principles. In this review, we discuss characteristics of nanomaterials, with an emphasis on transition metal oxide nanoparticles that influence cytotoxicity. Identification of those properties may lead to the design of more efficient and safer nanosized products for various industrial purposes and provide guidance for assessment of human and environmental health risk. We then investigate biochemical and molecular mechanisms of cytotoxicity that include oxidative stress-induced cellular events and alteration of the pathways pertaining to intracellular calcium homeostasis. All the stresses lead to cell injuries and death. Furthermore, as exposure to nanoparticles results in deregulation of the cell cycle (i.e., interfering with cell proliferation), the change in cell number is a function of cell killing and the suppression of cell proliferation. Collectively, the review article provides insights into the complexity of nanotoxicology.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) are widely used in our daily life, such as in sunscreens and electronic nanodevices. However, pulmonary exposure to ZnONPs causes acute pulmonary inflammation, which is considered as an initial event for various respiratory diseases. Thus, elucidation of the underlying cellular mechanisms of ZnONPs can help us in predicting their potential effects in respiratory diseases. In this study, we observed that ZnONPs increased proinflammatory cytokines, accompanied with an increased expression of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and its downstream target cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) in macrophages in vitro and in mouse lung epithelia in vivo. Moreover, zinc nitrate, but not silica or titanium dioxide nanoparticles (NPs), had similar effects on macrophages, indicating that the zinc element or ion released from ZnONPs is likely responsible for the activation of the AhR pathway. Cotreatment with an AhR antagonist or AhR knockout reduced ZnONPs-induced cytokine secretion in macrophages or mice, respectively. Furthermore, kynurenine (KYN), an endogenous AhR agonist and a tryptophan metabolite catalyzed by indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), was increased in the serums of mice that aspirated ZnONPs. Consistently, ZnONPs increased IDO1 expression in lung cells in vitro and in vivo. Finally, AhR knockout reduced ZnONPs-induced pulmonary inflammation, cytokine secretion and KYN production in mice, suggesting that AhR activation is involved in ZnONPs-induced cytokine secretion and pulmonary inflammation. In summary, we demonstrated that the pulmonary exposure of ZnONPs stimulated the cytokine-IDO1-AhR loop in the lungs, which has been implied to play roles in immune dysfunctions.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid (p-ABSA) were used to fabricate a modified electrode, as a highly sensitive and selective voltammetric sensor, for the determination of tartrazine. A fast and easy method for the fabrication of poly p-ABSA (Pp-ABSA)/ZnO NPs-carbon paste electrode (Pp-ABSA/ZnO NPs-CPE) by cyclic voltammetry was used. By combining the benefits of Pp-ABSA, ZnO NPs, and CPE, the resulted modified electrode exhibited outstanding electrocatalytic activity in terms of tartrazine oxidation by giving much higher peak currents than those obtained for the unmodified CPE and also other constructed electrodes. The effects of various experimental parameters on the voltammetric response of tartrazine were investigated. At the optimum conditions, the sensor has a linear response in the concentration range of 0349–5.44 μM, a good detection sensitivity (2.2034 μA/μM), and a detection limit of 80 nM of tartrazine. The proposed electrode was used for the determination of tartrazine in soft drinks with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films have been deposited onto thoroughly cleaned stainless steel (AISI SS 304) substrates by reactive direct current (dc) magnetron sputtering and the films were doped with silver (Ag). The prepared thin films were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) to investigate the structural and morphological properties. The thickness values of the films were in the range of 194 to 256[Formula: see text]nm. XRD results revealed that the films were crystalline with preferred (002) orientation. Grain size values of pure ZnO films were found to be 19.82–23.72[Formula: see text]nm. On introducing Ag into ZnO film, the micro-structural properties varied. Adhesion test was carried out with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in order to know the adherence property of the deposited films. Colony formation units (CFU) were counted manually and bacterial adhesion inhibition (BAI) was calculated. We observed a decrease in the CFU on doping Ag in the ZnO films. BAI of the film deposited at – 100 V substrate bias was found to be increased on Ag doping from 69 to 88%.

Abstract
Distinguishing a specific biomarker from a biofluid sample containing a large variety of proteins often requires the selective preconcentration of that particular biomarker to a detectable level for analysis. Low-cost, paper-based device is an emerging opportunity in diagnostics. In the present study, we report a novel Zinc oxide nanorods functionalized paper platform for the preconcentration of Myoglobin, a cardiac biomarker. Zinc oxide nanorods were grown on a Whatman filter paper no. 1 via the standard hydrothermal route. The growth of Zinc oxide nanorods on paper was confirmed by a combination of techniques consisting of X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS,) scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) analysis. The Zinc oxide nanorods modified Whatman filter paper (ZnO-NRs/WFP) was further tested for use as a protein preconcentrator. Paper-based ELISA was performed for determination of pre-concentration of cardiac marker protein Myoglobin using the new ZnO-NRs/WFP platform. The ZnO-NRs/WFP could efficiently capture the biomarker even from a very dilute solution (Myoglobin < 50 nM). Our ELISA results show a threefold enhancement in protein capture with ZnO-NRs/WFP compared to unmodified Whatman filter paper, allowing accurate protein analysis and showing the diagnostic concept.

Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a highly important material, and Zn(2+) is a key metal ion in biology. ZnO and Zn(2+) interconvert via dissolution and hydrolysis/condensation. In this work, we explore their interactions with DNA, which is important for biointerface, analytical, and bioinorganic chemistry. Fluorescently labeled DNA oligonucleotides were adsorbed by a low concentration (around 5 μg/mL) of ZnO nanoparticles, near the solubility limit. Right after mixing, fluorescence quenching occurred, indicating DNA adsorption. Then, fluorescence recovered, attributable to ZnO dissolution. The dissolution rate followed A5 > T5 > C5. Dissolution was slower with longer DNA. The adsorption affinity was also measured by a displacement assay to be G5 > C5 > T5 > A5, suggesting that tightly adsorbed DNA can retard ZnO dissolution. Electrostatic interactions are important for DNA adsorption because ZnO is positively charged at neutral pH, and a high salt concentration inhibits DNA adsorption. Next, in situ formation of ZnO from Zn(2+) was studied. First, titrating Zn(2+) into a fluorescently labeled oligonucleotide at pH 7.5 resulted in an abrupt fluorescence quenching beyond 0.2 mM Zn(2+). At pH 6, quenching occurred linearly with the Zn(2+) concentration, suggesting the effect of Zn(2+) precipitation at pH 7.5. Second, a Zn(2+)-dependent DNA-cleaving DNAzyme was studied. This DNAzyme was inhibited at higher than 2 mM Zn(2+), attributable to Zn(2+) precipitation and adsorption of the DNAzyme. This paper has established the interplay between DNA, Zn(2+), and ZnO. This understanding can avoid misinterpretation of DNA assay results and adds knowledge to DNA immobilization.

Abstract
(1120)-textured ZnO films are deposited on Rsapphire substrate by RF magnetron sputtering and the effects of deposition conditions on ZnO films are investigated. The chemical compositions of the ZnO films are characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and the results indicate that the ratio of latticed oxygen to zinc increases with increasing of oxygen concentration in the sputtering gas, which demonstrates the improvement of crystal structures in ZnO films. To investigate the characteristics of surface acoustic waves excited by the (1120)-textured ZnO films, SAW delay lines based on layered structures of (1120) ZnO film/R-sapphire substrate are fabricated, in which Rayleigh and Love modes are excited along the (0001)- and (1100)-directions of the ZnO films, respectively. The phase velocities and electromechanical coupling factors of both wave modes are characterized as functions of the film-thickness-to-wavelength ratio. The acoustic properties of the layered structures are calculated using the transfer matrix method. The experimental and theoretical results are in good agreement with each other.

Abstract
Sulfite is used as a preservative in a variety of food and pharmaceutical industries to inhibit enzymatic and nonenzymatic browning and in brewing industries as an antibacterial and antioxidizing agent. Convenient and reproducible analytical methods employing sulfite oxidase are an attractive alternative to conventional detection methods. Sulfite biosensors are based on measurement of either O2 or electrons generated from splitting of H2O2 or heat released during oxidation of sulfite by immobilized sulfite oxidase. Sulfite biosensors can be grouped into 12 classes. They work optimally within 2 to 900 s, between pH 6.5 and 9.0, 25 and 40 °C, and in the range from 0 to 50,000 μM, with detection limit between 0.2 and 200 μM. Sulfite biosensors measure sulfite in food, beverages, and water and can be reused 100-300 times over a period of 1-240 days. The review presents the principles, merits, and demerits of various analytical methods for determination of sulfite, with special emphasis on sulfite biosensors.

Abstract
Although an increasing number of in vitro studies are being published regarding the cytotoxicity of nanomaterials, the components of the media for toxicity assays have often varied according to the needs of the scientists. Our aim for this study was to evaluate the influence of serum-in this case, fetal bovine serum-in a cell culture medium on the toxicity of nano-sized (50-70 nm) and micro-sized (<1 μm) ZnO on human lung epithelial cells (A549). The nano- and micro-sized ZnO both exhibited their highest toxicity when exposed to serum-free media, in contrast to exposure in media containing 5 or 10 % serum. This mainly comes not only from the fact that ZnO particles in the serum-free media have a higher dosage-per-cell ratio, which results from large aggregates of particles, rapid sedimentation, absence of protein protection, and lower cell growth rate, but also that extracellular Zn2+ release contributes to cytotoxicity. Although more extracellular Zn2+ release was observed in serum-containing media, it did not contribute to nano-ZnO cytotoxicity. Furthermore, non-dissolved particles underwent size-dependent particle agglomeration, resulting in size-dependent toxicity in both serum-containing and serum-free media. A low correlation between cytotoxicity and inflammation endpoints in the serum-free medium suggested that some signaling pathways were changed or induced. Since cell growth, transcription behavior for protein production, and physicochemical properties of ZnO particles all were altered in serum-free media, we recommend the use of a serum-containing medium when evaluating the cytotoxicity of NPs.
