Abstract
Many pathological conditions are predominantly associated with oxidative stress, arising from reactive oxygen species (ROS); therefore, the modulation of redox activities has been a key strategy to restore normal tissue functions. Current approaches involve establishing a favorable cellular redox environment through the administration of therapeutic drugs and redox-active nanomaterials (RANs). In particular, RANs not only provide a stable and reliable means of therapeutic delivery but also possess the capacity to finely tune various interconnected components, including radicals, enzymes, proteins, transcription factors, and metabolites. Here, we discuss the roles that engineered RANs play in a spectrum of pathological conditions, such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, infections, and inflammation. We visualize the dual functions of RANs as both generator and scavenger of ROS, emphasizing their profound impact on diverse cellular functions. The focus of this review is solely on inorganic redox-active nanomaterials (inorganic RANs). Additionally, we deliberate on the challenges associated with current RANs-based approaches and propose potential research directions for their future clinical translation.

Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 175:116689. [PMID: 38703508 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116689] [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: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Ischemic heart disease invariably leads to devastating damage to human health. Nicotinamide ribose (NR), as one of the precursors of NAD+ synthesis, has been discovered to exert a protective role in various neurological and cardiovascular disorders. Our findings demonstrated that pretreatment with 200 mg/kg NR for 3 h significantly reduced myocardial infarct area, decreased levels of CK-MB and LDH in serum, and improved cardiac function in the rats during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Meanwhile, 0.5 mM NR also effectively increased the viability and decreased the LDH release of H9c2 cells during OGD/R. We had provided evidence that NR pretreatment could decrease mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) production and MDA content, and enhance SOD activity, thereby mitigating mitochondrial damage and inhibiting apoptosis during myocardial I/R injury. Further investigations revealed that NR increased NAD+ content and upregulated SIRT3 protein expression in myocardium. Through using of SIRT3 small interfering RNA and the SIRT3 deacetylase activity inhibitor 3-TYP, we had confirmed that the cardioprotective effect of NR on cardiomyocytes was largely dependent on the inhibition of mitochondrial oxidative stress via SIRT3-SOD2 axis. Overall, our study suggested that exogenous supplementation with NR mitigated mitochondrial damage and inhibited apoptosis during myocardial I/R injury by reducing mitochondrial oxidative stress via SIRT3-SOD2-mtROS pathway.

Abstract
With the rapid development of nanotechnology, engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are widely used in various fields. This has exacerbated the environmental pollution and human exposure of ENMs. The study of toxicity of ENMs and its mechanism has become a hot research topic in recent years. Mitochondrial damage plays an important role in the toxicity of ENMs. This paper reviews the structural damage, dysfunction, and molecular level perturbations caused by different ENMs to mitochondria, including ZnO NPs, Ag NPs, TiO2 NPs, iron oxide NPs, cadmium-based quantum dots, CuO NPs, silica NPs, carbon-based nanomaterials. Among them, mitochondrial quality control plays an important role in mitochondrial damage. We further summarize the cellular level outcomes caused by mitochondrial damage, mainly including, apoptosis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis and inflammation response. In addition, we concluded that reducing mitochondrial damage at source as well as accelerating recovery from mitochondrial damage through ENMs modification and pharmacological intervention are two feasible strategies. This review further provides new insights into the mitochondrial toxicity mechanisms of ENMs and provides a new foothold for predicting human health and environmental risks of ENMs.

Abstract
In recent years, the use of nanotechnology-based methods has become widespread in the treatment of ocular diseases. Silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) are most common used NPs in medical field due to their physicochemical properties. SiO2 NPs can easily cross biological membranes and interact with basic biological structures, causing structural and functional changes in cells. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the dose dependent effect of SiO2 NPs on retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in vitro using electrobiophysical, biochemical and histological methods. A commercially purchased human RPE (hARPE-19) cell line was used in this study. Cells were divided into four groups as control, 50 μg/mL SiO2, 100 μg/mL SiO2 and 150 μg/mL SiO2 groups. Cell index, apoptotic activity, cell cycle and oxidative stress markers were measured in all groups. Findings in the present study showed that SiO2 nanoparticles reduced cell proliferation, increased oxidative stress, apoptosis and arrest in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle as dose dependent manner in ARPE-19 cells. In conclusion, SiO2 exposure can induce cytotoxic effects in RPE cell line. The results of this study provide clues that exposure to SiO2 nanoparticles may impair visual function and reduce quality of life. However, further studies are needed in this regard.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a highly effective anthracycline chemotherapy agent effective in treating a broad range of life-threatening malignancies but it causes cardiotoxicity in many subjects. While the mechanism of its cardiotoxic effects remains elusive, DOX-related cardiotoxicity can lead to heart failure in patients. In this study, we investigated the effects of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity on human cardiomyocytes (CMs) using a three-dimensional (3D) bioprinted cardiac spheroidal droplet based-system in comparison with the traditional two-dimensional cell (2D) culture model. The effects of DOX were alleviated with the addition of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and Tiron. Caspase-3 activity was quantified, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was measured using dihydroethidium (DHE) staining. Application of varying concentrations of DOX (0.4 μM-1 μM) to CMs revealed a dose-specific response, with 1 μM concentration imposing maximum cytotoxicity and 0.22 ± 0.11% of viable cells in 3D samples versus 1.02 ± 0.28% viable cells in 2D cultures, after 5 days of culture. Moreover, a flow cytometric analysis study was conducted to study CMs proliferation in the presence of DOX and antioxidants. Our data support the use of a 3D bioprinted cardiac spheroidal droplet as a robust and high-throughput screening model for drug toxicity. In the future, this 3D spheroidal droplet model can be adopted as a human-derived tissue-engineered equivalent to address challenges in other various aspects of biomedical pre-clinical research.

The Effect of Silica Nanoparticles (SiNPs) on Cytotoxicity, Induction of Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis in Breast Cancer Cell Lines. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24032037.

Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) belong to the group of often-used nanoparticles in biomedical applications. The mechanisms of the cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and oxidative stress induced by the 5-15 nm SiNPs still remain unclear. The aim of the study was to evaluate the anti-cancer effect and mechanism of action of SiNPs in breast cancer cell lines. The breast cancer MDA-MB-231 and ZR-75-1 cell lines were analyzed using MTT assay, flow cytometry, and spectrophotometric methods. In this paper, we presented findings about the cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and oxidative stress in both breast cancer cell lines. We indicated that 5-15 nm SiNPs induced dose-dependent cytotoxicity in MDA-MB-231 and ZR-75-1 cells. Moreover, we demonstrated that the process of apoptosis in the studied cell lines was associated with a decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) and an increase in the activity of caspase-9 and caspase-3. Based on the obtained results, 5-15 nm SiNPs are able to induce the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Analyzed nanoparticles have also been found to cause an increase in selected oxidative stress parameters in both breast cancer cell lines. The presented study provides an explanation of the possible mechanisms of 5-15 nm SiNPs action in breast cancer cells.

Abstract
Increased expression of secreted frizzled related protein 3 (SFRP3) is associated with adverse outcomes of heart failure. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of SFRP3 on cardiac remodeling and its mechanism. Cardiac remodeling was induced by angiotensin II (Ang II) infusion in the mice, and in the neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCM) treated with Ang II. The expression decreased in the heart of mice, and NRCM and HL-1 cells with Ang II treatment. Ang II-induced hypertrophy and fibrosis of heart in mice were attenuated by upregulation of SFRP3, and were further deteriorated by downregulation of SFRP3. Ang II-induced hypertrophy of NRCM and HL-1 cells were improved by SFRP3 overexpression, and were further deteriorated by SFRP3 knockdown. The oxidative stress increased in the heart of Ang II-treated mice, and this enhancement was inhibited by overexpressing of SFPR3, and was worsened by downregulation of SFPR3. These outcomes suggested that upregulation of SFPR3 could improve cardiac remodeling via inhibition of oxidative stress.

Abstract
Interest is growing to better comprehend the interaction of silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) with the cardiovascular system. In particular, the extremely small size, relatively large surface area and associated unique properties may greatly enhance its toxic potentials compared to larger-sized counterparts. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms still need to be evaluated. In this context, the cardiotoxicity of nano-scale (Si-60; particle diameter about 60 nm) and submicro-scale silica particles (Si-300; 300 nm) were examined in ApoE-/- mice via intratracheal instillation, 6.0 mg/kg·bw, once per week for 12 times. The echocardiography showed that the sub-chronic exposure of Si-60 declined cardiac output (CO) and stroke volume (SV), shorten LVIDd and LVIDs, and thickened LVAWs of ApoE-/- mice in compared to the control and Si-300 groups. Histological investigations manifested Si-60 enhanced inflammatory infiltration, myocardial fiber arrangement disorder, hypertrophy and fibrosis in the cardiac tissue, as well as mitochondrial ultrastructural injury. Accordingly, the serum cTnT, cTnI and ANP were significantly elevated by Si-60, as well as cardiac ANP content. In particular, Si-60 greatly increased cardiac ROS, Ca2+ levels and CaMKII activation in comparison with Si-300. Further, in vitro investigations revealed silica particles induced a dose- and size-dependent activation of oxidative stress, mitochondrial membrane permeabilization, intracellular Ca2+ overload, CaMKII signaling activation and ensuing myocardial apoptosis in human cardiomyocytes (AC16). Mechanistic analyses revealed SiNPs induced myocardial apoptosis via ROS/Ca2+/CaMKII signaling, which may contribute to the abnormalities in cardiac structure and function in vivo. In summary, our research revealed SiNPs caused myocardial impairments, dysfunction and even structural remodeling via ROS/Ca2+/CaMKII signaling. Of note, a size-dependent myocardial toxicity was noticed, that is, Si-60 greater than Si-300.

Abstract
Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) are composed of silicon dioxide, the most abundant compound on Earth, and are used widely in many applications including the food industry, synthetic processes, medical diagnosis, and drug delivery due to their controllable particle size, large surface area, and great biocompatibility. Building on basic synthetic methods, convenient and economical strategies have been developed for the synthesis of SiNPs. Numerous studies have assessed the biomedical applications of SiNPs, including the surface and structural modification of SiNPs to target various cancers and diagnose diseases. However, studies on the in vitro and in vivo toxicity of SiNPs remain in the exploratory stage, and the toxicity mechanisms of SiNPs are poorly understood. This review covers recent studies on the biomedical applications of SiNPs, including their uses in drug delivery systems to diagnose and treat various diseases in the human body. SiNP toxicity is discussed in terms of the different systems of the human body and the individual organs in those systems. This comprehensive review includes both fundamental discoveries and exploratory progress in SiNP research that may lead to practical developments in the future.

J Biochem Mol Toxicol 2021; 35:1-7. [PMID: 33724625 DOI: 10.1002/jbt.22762] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2020] [Revised: 12/01/2020] [Accepted: 03/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
The toxicity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) toward the mitochondria of the kidney is not fully recognized and still needs further research. Apigenin (APG) is known as a flavonoid compound and natural antioxidant. The purpose of this study was to assess the ameliorative role of APG against multiwall CNT (MWCNT)-induced kidney toxicity in rats. The animals were administrated with APG (10 mg/kg) for 2 weeks and then were exposed to MWCNTs (5 mg/m3 ) in pure and impure forms (10 and 100 nm) for 5 h/day and 5 days/week. Then, mitochondria were isolated from the kidney tissue and mitochondrial toxicity parameters were measured. Decreases in succinate dehydrogenase activity have been reported in all groups exposed to MWCNTs. Results indicated that MWCNTs in both forms and sizes were able to increase the generation of reactive oxygen species, decline mitochondrial membrane potential, induce mitochondrial swelling, and release cytochrome c in isolated kidney mitochondria. The pretreatment of APG decreased all the abovementioned mitochondrial damage and oxidative stress parameters induced by both pure and impure MWCNTs. Our results showed that MWCNTs have the ability to enter the body, subsequently, cross cellular barriers, and reach the kidney as a sensitive organ, which can result in mitochondrial damage in kidney cells including renal tubular cells. In addition, APG can be an effective nutritional antioxidant regimen against MWCNT-induced kidney damage.
