Abstract
Effective treatment of infected bone defects resulting from multi-drug resistant bacteria (MDR) has emerged as a significant clinical challenge, highlighting the pressing demand for potent antibacterial bone graft substitutes. Mesoporous nanoparticles have been introduced as a promising class of biomaterials offering significant properties for treating bone infections. Herein, we synthesize antibacterial mesoporous hydroxyapatite substituted with zinc and gallium (Zn-Ga:mHA) nanoparticles using a facile sol-gel method. The resulting mesoporous nanoparticles are applied for the controlled release of melatonin (Mel). Zn-Ga:mHA nanoparticles with an average particle size of 36 ± 3 nm and pore size of 10.6 ± 0.4 nm reveal a Mel loading efficiency of 58 ± 1%. Results show that 50% of Mel is released within 20 h and its long-term release is recorded up to 50 h. The Zn-Ga:mHA nanoparticles exhibit highly effective antibacterial performance as reflected by a 19 ± 1% and 8 ± 2% viability reduction in Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus bacteria, respectively. Noticeably, Mel-loaded Zn-Ga:mHA nanoparticles are also cytocompatible and stimulate in vitro osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) without any osteoinductive factor. In vivo studies in a rabbit skull also show significant regeneration of bone during 14 days. In summary, Mel-loaded Zn-Ga:mHA nanoparticles provide great potential as an antibacterial and osteogenic component in bone substitutes like hydrogels, scaffolds, and coatings.

Abstract
Targeted nanodelivery systems offer a promising approach to cancer treatment, including the most common cancer in women, breast cancer. In this study, a targeted, pH-responsive, and biocompatible nanodelivery system based on nucleolin aptamer-functionalized biogenic titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TNP) was developed for targeted co-delivery of FOXM1 aptamer and doxorubicin (DOX) to improve breast cancer therapy. The developed targeted nanodelivery system exhibited almost spherical morphology with 124.89 ± 12.97 nm in diameter and zeta potential value of - 23.78 ± 3.66 mV. FOXM1 aptamer and DOX were loaded into the nanodelivery system with an efficiency of 100% and 97%, respectively. Moreover, the targeted nanodelivery system demonstrated excellent stability in serum and a pH-responsive sustained drug release profile over a period of 240 h following Higuchi kinetic and Fickian diffusion mechanism. The in vitro cytotoxicity experiments demonstrated that the targeted nanodelivery system provided selective internalization and strong growth inhibition effects of about 45 and 51% against nucleolin-positive 4T1 and MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines. It is noteworthy that these phenomena were not observed in nucleolin-negative cells (CHO). The preclinical studies revealed that a single-dose intravenous injection of the targeted nanodelivery system into 4T1-bearing mice inhibited tumor growth by 1.7- and 1.4-fold more efficiently than the free drug and the non-targeted nanodelivery system, respectively. Our results suggested that the developed innovative targeted pH-responsive biocompatible nanodelivery system could serve as a prospectively potential platform to improve breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
The development of effective strategies against multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens is an urgent need in modern medicine. Nanoantibiotics (nABs) offer a new hope in countering the surge of MDR-pathogens. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of two attractive nABs, TiO2 NPs and ZnO NPs, and their performance in improving the antimicrobial activity of defined antibiotics (amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, amox-clav) against MDR-pathogens. The nABs were synthesized using a green method. The physicochemical characteristics of the synthesized nanoparticles were determined using standard methods. The results showed the formation of pure anatase TiO2 NPs and hexagonal ZnO NPs with an average particle size of 38.65 nm and 57.87 nm, respectively. The values of zeta potential indicated the high stability of the samples. At 8 mg/mL, both nABs exhibited 100 % antioxidant activity, while ZnO showed significantly higher activity at lower concentrations. The antibiofilm assay showed that both nABs could inhibit the formation of biofilms of Acinetobacter baumannii 80 and Escherichia coli 27G (MDR-isolates). However, ZnO NPs showed superior antibiofilm activity (100 %) against E. coli 27G. The MIC values were determined to be 8 (1), 2 (2), and 4 (4) mg/mL for amox-clav, TiO2 NPs, and ZnO NPs against A. baumannii 80 (E. coli 27G), respectively. The results showed that both nABs had synergistically enhanced antibacterial performance in combination with amox-clav. Specifically, an 8-fold reduction in MIC values of antibiotics was observed when they were combined with nABs. These findings highlight the potential of TiO2 NPs and ZnO NPs as effective nanoantibiotics against MDR-pathogens. The synergistic effect observed when combining nABs with antibiotics suggests a promising approach for combating antibiotic resistance. Further research and development in this area could lead to the development of more effective treatment strategies against MDR infections.

Abstract
Polyphenols and amides isolated from natural products have various biological functions, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, and antiviral activities, and they are widely used in the fields of food and medicine. In this work, four novel and environmentally friendly amide-modified gallic acid derivatives (AMGADs), which were prepared by using different amides to modify gallic acid (GA) from Polygonaceae plants, displayed good antiultraviolet (anti-UV), antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer effects. Significantly, the anti-UV capability of compounds n1 and n2 was notably superior to that of the UV absorber GA. Moreover, compound n2 possessed better 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH•) scavenging ability and ferric reducing antioxidant power than vitamin C. The antibacterial activities of all AMGADs, with inhibition rates of more than 96.00 and 79.00% for Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively, were better than those of GA. Compound n1 had broad-spectrum anticancer activity, and its inhibitory effect on HepG2 cells exceeded that of 5-fluorouracil. The good and rich bioactivities of these AMGADs revealed that combining GA with amides is conducive to improving the activity of GA, and this study laid a good foundation for their scientific application in the fields of food and medicine.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a common malignant bone tumor that occurs mostly in children and adolescents. At present, surgery after chemotherapy or postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy is the main treatment plan. However, the efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs is limited by the occurrence of chemotherapeutic resistance, toxicity to normal cells, poor pharmacokinetic performance, and drug delivery failure. The delivery of chemotherapy drugs to the bone to treat OS may fail for a variety of reasons, such as a lack of selectivity for OS cells, initial sudden release, short-term release, and the presence of biological barriers (such as the blood-bone marrow barrier). Nanomaterials are new materials with at least one dimension on the nanometer scale (1-100 nm) in three-dimensional space. These materials have the ability to penetrate biological barriers and can accumulate preferentially in tumor cells. Studies have shown that the effective combination of nanomaterials and traditional chemotherapy can significantly improve the therapeutic effect. Therefore, this article reviews the latest research progress on the use of nanomaterials in OS chemotherapy.

Abstract
Metal oxide nanoparticles (MO NPs) are increasingly employed in many fields with a wide range of applications from industries to drug delivery. Due to their semiconducting properties, metal oxide nanoparticles are commonly used in the manufacturing of several commercial products available in the market, including cosmetics, food additives, textile, paint, and antibacterial ointments. The use of metallic oxide nanoparticles for medical and cosmetic purposes leads to unavoidable human exposure, requiring a proper knowledge of their potentially harmful effects. This review offers a comprehensive overview of the possible toxicity of metallic oxide nanoparticles in zebrafish during both adulthood and growth stages, with an emphasis on the role of oxidative stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although traditional antibiotic therapy provided an effective approach to combat pathogenic bacteria, the long-term and widespread use of antibiotic results in the evolution of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Recent progress in nanotechnology offers an alternative opportunity to discover and develop novel antibacterial agents. METHODS A total of 51 K. pneumoniae strains were collected from several specimens of hospitalized patients and identified by two parallel methods (biochemical tests and Vitek-2 system). The antibiotic sensitivity of isolates was evaluated by disk diffusion antibiogram and Vitek-2 system. The biofilms formation ability of antibiotic-resistant strains was examined by microtiter plate and tube methods based on crystal violet staining. The molecular technique was used to determine key genes responsible for biofilms formation of clinical isolates. The antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of Ag NPs, Ni NPs, Al2O3 NPs singly (NPs) and in combination (cNPs) were investigated against selected strains using standard methods. Moreover, the cytotoxicity of NPs was evaluated on mouse neural crest-derived (Neuro-2A) cell line. RESULTS The results of bacterial studies revealed that more than 80 % of the isolates were resistant to commonly used antibiotics and about 95 % of them were able to form biofilms. Moreover, the presence of fimA and mrkA genes were determined in all biofilm-producing strains. The results of antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of NPs and cNPs demonstrated the lower MIC and MBEC values for Al2O3 NPs singly as well as for Ag/Ni cNPs and Ag/Al2O3 cNPs in combination, respectively. Overall, the inhibitory effects of cNPs were superior to NPs against all strains. Furthermore, the results of the checkerboard assays showed that Ag NPs act synergistically with two other NPs against multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (MDR-K. pneumoniae) isolates. The in vitro cytotoxicity assay revealed no significant toxicity of NPs against Neuro-2A cells. CONCLUSION In the present study, the combination of Ag NPs, Ni NPs, and Al2O3 NPs were used against MDR-K. pneumoniae strains and antibacterial and antibiofilm activities were observed for Ag/Ni cNPs and Ag/Al2O3 cNPs.

Abstract
The introduction of novel bacterial strains and the development of microbial approaches for nanoparticles biosynthesis could minimize the negative environmental impact and eliminate the concern and challenges of the available approaches. In this study, a biological method based on microbial cell-free extract was used for biosynthesis of ZnO NPs using two new aquatic bacteria, Marinobacter sp. 2C8 and Vibrio sp. VLA. The synthesized ZnO NPs were characterized by UV-Visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and zeta potential. The UV-Visible absorption peak was found to be at 266 and 250 nm for ZnO-2C8 NPs and ZnO-VLA NPs, respectively. FTIR study suggested that the hydroxyl, amine, and carboxyl groups of bacterial proteins are mainly responsible for stabilizing the biosynthesized ZnO NPs. The formation of hexagonal wurtzite structure of ZnO NPs was confirmed by the XRD pattern. The morphology of the nanoparticles was found to be spherical with the average particle size of about 10.23 ± 2.48 nm and 20.26 ± 4.44 nm for ZnO-2C8 NPs and ZnO-VLA NPs, respectively. The values of zeta potential indicate the high stability of the biosynthesized ZnO NP. Zeta potential values indicated the high stability of the biosynthesized ZnO NP and were obtained -20.54 ± 7.15 and -23.87 ± 2.29 mV for ZnO-2C8 NPs and ZnO-VLA NPs, respectively. The biosynthesized ZnO NPs had antibacterial activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive strains and possessed excellent antibiofilm activity with the maximum inhibition of about 96.55% at 250 µg/mL. The DPPH activity of ZnO-2C8 NPs and ZnO-VLA NPs were found 88.9% and 85.7% for 2500 μg/mL concentration, respectively. The toxicity test revealed the biocompatibility of the biosynthesized ZnO NPs. The results suggested that this approach is a very good route for synthesizing ZnO NPs with potential applications in biotechnology.

Abstract
Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by marine bacteria especially luminescent Vibrio species is least investigated. In this study, AgNPs were first synthesized by the culture supernatant of a luminescent bacterium (Vibrio sp. B4L) and then, the prepared samples were characterized employing several techniques. The antibacterial activity of the AgNPs was investigated against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus using disk diffusion agar and broth microdilution methods. The growth curve, Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) formation, and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) activity of the samples were measured along with Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) observation and inhibition of biofilm formation. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis showed that the average particle size of the synthesized AgNPs was in the range of about 32.67-107.18 nm and the polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.1120 indicated the formation of monodispersed particles. The average zeta potential of AgNPs obtained -36.15 mV, showing the high stability of biosynthetic nanoparticles. Antibacterial studies indicated that not only the AgNPs had antibacterial activity but also increased the antibacterial properties of tetracycline when used in combination. ROS production was enhanced in a dose-dependent manner. A high difference in LDH activities was found between AgNPs treated cells and the control group. FESEM images revealed membrane disruption and lysis in AgNPs treated cells. The formation of E. coli biofilm was 100% inhibited at 62.5 µg/ml showing that our bacteriogenic AgNPs can be a potential alternative remedies for controlling antibiotic-resistant pathogens.

Abstract
The safe development of nanotechnology and usage of nanoparticles (NPs) require the cellular toxicity examination of these NPs. Systematic studies are necessary to collect related data and comparison of the physicochemical features of NPs and their effects on cellular viability on model systems. In the present study, we systematically reviewed original studies, which investigated the cytotoxic effects and apoptosis of free NPs (loaded with doxorubicin (Dox)/or methotrexate (MTX)) via in vitro models. Articles were systematically collected by screening the literature published online in the following databases; PUBMED and SCOPUS and Web of Science and EMBASE. 23 in vitro cytotoxicity studies with 8 apoptosis examinations were found on osteosarcoma (OS) cell lines (mostly on MG-63). 43.47% of the synthesized NPs (10 studies) showed no cytotoxicity to OS cells. 39.13% of the synthesized NPs (9 studies) showed time and/or concentration related-cytotoxicity. Potent cytotoxic synthesized NP did not state. Significance difference between the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of drug and drug/NP reported in all studies. Involved NPs in this systematic review for delivery of Dox/or MTX to OS cells have higher safety index and biocompatibility, although small and positively charged NPs acted more toxic in comparison to larger and negative ones, apoptosis rate like cytotoxicity index was notable in drug/NP group, to apply them in clinical works. Future studies are required to address the mechanisms involved in cytotoxicity and apoptosis with a special focus on in vivo investigations.

Abstract
Changes in the expression of microRNAs can affect cancer cells' viability and behavior and the impact on cancer treatment. In this study, the expression of miR-155-5p, miR-203a-3p, and miR-223-3p in the MCF7 cancer cell line was studied when exposed to ZnO nanoparticles synthesized through a green route. Mentioned ZnO-NPs were well characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, DLS, XRD, FTIR, FE-SEM, EDX, zeta potential, and AFM analyses. Cellular studies were conducted using ZnO-NPs before miRNA investigations including MTT cytotoxicity test against MCF7, MDA-MB-231, and HFF cell lines. Moreover, apoptosis assays were performed using morphological analysis, fluorescent dyes, flow cytometry, and evaluation of caspase-3 and caspase-8 gene expression. Biological properties such as the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of these novel ZnO-NPs were considered. MTT assays showed that the inhibitory concentration (IC50) of ZnO-NPs after 24 h was 11.16 μg/mL, 60.08 μg/mL, and 26.3 μg/mL on MCF7, MDA-MB-231, and HFF cells, respectively. The qRT-PCR results showed reduced expression of miR-155-5p, miR-203a-3p, and miR-223-3p when the MCF7 cells were treated with the IC50 concentration of ZnO-NPs (11.16 μg/mL). The antioxidant activity results showed EC50 values at 57.19 μg/mL and 31.5 μg/mL in DPPH and ABTS assays, respectively. The antimicrobial activity of ZnO-NPs was determined on Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial strains and fungi using MIC and MBC assays. These NPs had a significant effect in reducing the expression of microRNAs in breast cancer cells. Finally, ZnO-NPs exerted antioxidant and antimicrobial activities.

Abstract
PURPOSE The goal of this study was to develop chemotherapeutic drug-loaded photoactivable stealth polymer-coated silica based- mesoporous titania nanoplatforms for enhanced antitumor activity. METHODS Both in vitro and in vivo models of solvothermal treated photoactivable nanoplatforms were evaluated for efficient chemo-photothermal activity. A versatile nanocomposite that combined silica based- mesoporous titania nanocarriers (S-MTN) with the promising photoactivable agent, graphene oxide (G) modified with a stealth polymer (P) was fabricated to deliver chemotherapeutic agent, imatinib (I), (referred as S-MTN@IG-P) for near-infrared (NIR)-triggered drug delivery and enhanced chemo-photothermal therapy. RESULTS The fabricated S-MTN@IG-P nanoplatform showed higher drug loading (~20%) and increased drug release (~60%) in response to light in acidic condition (pH 5.0). As prepared nanoplatform significantly converted NIR light into thermal energy (43.2°C) to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). The pronounced cytotoxic effect was seen in both colon cancer cells (HCT-116 and HT-29) that was mediated through the chemotherapeutic effect of imatinib and the photothermal and ROS generation effects of graphene oxide. In vivo study also showed that S-MTN@IG-P could significantly accumulate into the tumor area and suppress the tumor growth under NIR irradiation without any biocompatibility issues. CONCLUSION Cumulatively, the above results showed promising effects of S-MTN@IG-P for effective chemo-phototherapy of colon cancer.

Microbial cell lysate supernatant (CLS) alteration impact on platinum nanoparticles fabrication, characterization, antioxidant and antibacterial activity. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2020; 117:111292. [PMID: 32919653 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2020.111292] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2020] [Revised: 07/10/2020] [Accepted: 07/22/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Microbial mediated biological synthesis of nanoparticles is of enormous interest to modern nanotechnology due to its simplicity and eco-friendliness. In the present study, a novel green method for the synthesis of platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) has been developed using bio-derived product-cell lysate supernatant (CLS) from various microorganisms including Gram-negative bacteria: Pseudomonas kunmingensis ADR19, Psychrobacter faecalis FZC6, Vibrio fischeri NRRL B-11177, Gram-positive bacteria: Jeotgalicoccus coquinae ZC15, Sporosarcina psychrophila KC19, Kocuria rosea MN23, genetically engineered bacterium: Pseudomonas putida KT2440 and yeast: Rhodotorula mucilaginosa CCV1. The biogenic PtNPs were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The UV-visible spectra showed a red shift in the absorbance of H2PtCl6.6H2O from 260 nm to 330 nm for all prepared PtNPs. The XRD patterns of the samples indicated the formation of high purity of the cubic phase. The FTIR spectra and EDS profiles of the samples demonstrated the existence of proteins on fabricated and stabilized PtNPs. The TEM and AFM images analysis showed the synthesis of smallest PtNPs by a bacterium strain (FZC6) and yeast while genetically engineered bacteria produced the largest NPs. Also, the HRTEM analysis showed the high crystallinity of PtNPs and the interplanar spacing of 0.2 nm, corresponds to the (1 1 1) of plane of PtNPs. The results of zeta potential indicated the high stability of PtNPs in neutral pH. Moreover, the suitability of PtNPs antioxidant and antibacterial activity was correlated to the size and zeta potential of microbe used for NPs biosynthesis. In conclusion, it was found that the type of microorganisms can have influences on PtNPs characteristics and properties as Gram-negatives produced smaller PtNPs while more negatively charged NPs were obtained by Gram-positives. These findings could facilitate the selection of appropriate green approaches for more effective biotechnological production of PtNPs.

Investigating the accumulation and translocation of titanium dioxide nanoparticles with different surface modifications in static and dynamic human placental transfer models. Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2019; 142:488-497.

Abstract
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) are widely incorporated in various consumer products such as cosmetics and food. Despite known human exposure, the potential risks of TiO2 NPs during pregnancy are not fully understood, but several studies in mice elucidated toxic effects on fetal development. It has also been shown that modifying NPs with positive or negative surface charge alters cellular uptake and abolishes fetotoxicity of silicon dioxide (SiO2) NPs in mice. Here, we investigated accumulation and translocation of positively charged TiO2-NH2 and negatively charged TiO2-COOH NPs at the placental barrier, to clarify whether surface charge provides a means to control TiO2 NP distribution at the placental barrier. To ensure outcome relevant for humans, the recently developed in vitro human placental co-culture model and the gold standard amongst placental translocation models - the ex vivo perfusion of human term placental tissue - were employed during this study. Sector field-ICP-MS analysis of maternal and fetal supernatants as well as placental cells/tissues revealed a substantial accumulation of both TiO2 NP types while no considerable placental translocation was apparent in both models. Characterization of agglomeration behavior demonstrated a strong and fast agglomeration of TiO2-NH2 and TiO2-COOH NPs in the different culture media. Overall, our results indicate that surface charge is not a key factor to steer placental uptake and transfer of TiO2. Moreover, the negligible placental transfer but high accumulation of TiO2 NPs in placental tissue suggests that potential effects on fetal health may occur indirectly, which calls for further studies elucidating the impact of TiO2 NPs on placental tissue functionality and signaling.
