Abstract
Nanomaterials (NMs) are increasingly used in medical treatments, electronics, and food additives. However, nanosafety-the possible adverse effects of NMs on human health-is an area of active research. This review provides an overview of the influence of biomolecular coronas on NM transformation following various exposure routes. We discuss potential exposure pathways, including inhalation and ingestion, describing the physiology of exposure routes and emphasising the relevance of coronas in these environments. Additionally, we review other routes to NM exposure, such as synovial fluid, blood (translocation and injection), dermal and ocular exposure, as well as the dose and medium impact on NM interactions. We emphasize the need for an in-depth characterisation of coronas in different biological media, highlighting the need and opportunity to study lung and gastric fluids to understand NM behaviour and potential toxicity. Future research aims to predict better in vivo outcomes and address the complexities of NM interactions with biological systems.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease leading to the death of millions a year across the world. Insulin is required for Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetic patients, however, there are various modes of insulin delivery out of which oral delivery is noninvasive and convenient. Moreover, factors like insulin degradation and poor intestinal absorption play a crucial role in its bioavailability and effectiveness. This review discusses various types of engineered nanoparticles used in-vitro, in-vivo, and ex-vivo insulin delivery along with their administration routes and physicochemical properties. Injectable insulin formulations, currently in use have certain limitations, leading to invasiveness, low patient compliance, causing inflammation, and side effects. Based on these drawbacks, this review emphasizes more on the non-invasive route, particularly oral delivery. The article is important because it focuses on how engineered nanoparticles can overcome the limitations of free therapeutics (drugs alone), navigate the barriers, and accomplish precision therapeutics in diabetes. In future, more drugs could be delivered with a similar strategy to cure various diseases and resolve challenges in drug delivery. This review significantly describes the role of various engineered nanoparticles in improving the bioavailability of insulin by protecting it from various barriers during non-invasive routes of delivery.

Abstract
Different mesoporous nanomaterials (MSNs) are constantly being developed for a range of therapeutic purposes, but they invariably interact with blood components and may cause hazardous side effects. Therefore, when designing and developing nanoparticles for biomedical applications, hemocompatibility should be one of the primary goals to assess their toxicity at the cellular level of all blood components. The aim of this study was to evaluate the compatibility of human blood cells (erythrocytes, platelets, and leukocytes) after exposure to silica-based mesoporous nanomaterials that had been manufactured using the sol-gel method, with Ca and Ce as doping elements. The viability of lymphocytes and monocytes was unaffected by the presence of MSNs at any concentration. However, it was found that all nanomaterials, at all concentrations, reduced the viability of granulocytes. P-selectin expression of all MSNs at all concentrations was statistically significantly higher in platelet incubation on the first day of storage (day 1) compared to the control. When incubated with MSNs, preserved platelets displayed higher levels of iROS at all MSNs types and concentrations examined. Ce-containing MSNs presented a slightly better hemocompatibility, although it was also dose dependent. Further research is required to determine how the unique characteristics of MSNs may affect various blood components in order to design safe and effective MSNs for various biomedical applications.

Abstract
Despite the importance of the proper quality of blood products for safe transfusion, conventional methods for preparation and their preservation, they lack significant stability. Non-metal nanoparticles with particular features may overcome these challenges. This review study for the first time provided a comprehensive vision of the interaction of non-metal nanoparticles with each blood product (red blood cells, platelets and plasma proteins). The findings of this review on the most effective nanoparticle for improving the stability of RBCs indicate that graphene quantum dots and nanodiamonds show compatibility with RBCs. For increasing the stability of platelet products, silica nanoparticles exhibited a suppressive impact on platelet aggregation. Pristine graphene also shows compatibility with platelets. For better stability of plasma products, graphene oxide was indicated to preserve free human serum albumin from thermal shocks at low ionic strength. For increased stability of Factor VIII, mesoporous silica nanoparticles with large pores exhibit the superb quality of recovered proteins. Furthermore, 3.2 nm quantum dots exhibited anticoagulant effects. As the best promising nanoparticles for immunoglobulin stability, graphene quantum dots showed compatibility with γ-globulins. Overall, this review recommends further research on the mentioned nanoparticles as the most potential candidates for enhancing the stability and storage of blood components.

Abstract
In recent decades, nanomaterials have been widely used in the field of biomedicine due to their unique physical and chemical properties, and have shown good prospects for in vitro diagnosis, drug delivery, and imaging. With regard to transporting nanoparticles (NPs) to target tissues or organs in the body intravenously or otherwise, blood is the first tissue that NPs come into contact with and is also considered an important gateway for targeted transport. Erythrocytes are the most numerous cells in the blood, but previous studies based on interactions between erythrocytes and NPs mostly focused on the use of erythrocytes as drug carriers for nanomedicine which were chemically bound or physically adsorbed by NPs, so little is known about the effects of nanoparticles on the morphology, structure, function, and circulation time of erythrocytes in the body. Herein, this review focuses on the mechanisms by which nanoparticles affect the structure and function of erythrocyte membranes, involving the hemocompatibility of NPs, the way that NPs interact with erythrocyte membranes, effects of NPs on erythrocyte surface membrane proteins and their structural morphology and the effect of NPs on erythrocyte lifespan and function. The detailed analysis in this review is expected to shed light on the more advanced biocompatibility of nanomaterials and pave the way for the development of new nanodrugs.

MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2020; 115:111121. [PMID: 32600720 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2020.111121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2020] [Revised: 05/13/2020] [Accepted: 05/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Dual-modality contrast agents (DMCA), such as radiolabeled magnetic nanoparticles, have attracted significant attention in diagnostic applications due to their potency for the timely and accurate diagnosis of diseases. The hemocompatibility of a candidate DMCA with human blood is essential for the investigation of its application in vivo. In this respect, here we focused on the evaluation of the hemocompatibility of a new DMCA, that is based on iron oxide nanoparticles (i.e. Fe3O4 magnetite), with human red blood cells (RBCs). The specific iron oxide nanoparticles are surface functionalized with 2,3-dicarboxypropane-1,1-diphosphonic acid (-DPD) and radiolabeled with gallium-68 (68Ga), resulting in 68Ga-DPD-Fe3O4. RBCs of five healthy individuals are incubated at room temperature for 120 min without and with 68Ga-DPD-Fe3O4 at concentrations 0.1 and 1.0 mg/ml. Optical microscopy (OM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) are employed to assess detailed information on the overall morphological and geometrical characteristics of the entire cell at the microscopic (10-6 m) level and on the membrane morphology at the nanoscopic (10-9 m) level. In addition, a standard hematology analyzer (HA) is used to obtain complete blood count information. At the microscopic level, the combined OM, AFM and HA data revealed that the overall shape/size characteristics of RBCs were preserved upon incubation with 68Ga-DPD-Fe3O4. However, at the nanoscopic level, the AFM results revealed two different kinds of local deconstructions of the RBCs membrane, termed holes and ulcer-like abnormalities, that were observed in both the DMCA-free and DMCA-incubated samples. Holes did not exhibit any statistically significant difference upon incubation with the 68Ga-DPD-Fe3O4 DMCA. On the contrary, ulcer-like abnormalities exhibited two statistically significant differences upon incubation with the 68Ga-DPD-Fe3O4 DMCA. First, increased percentage of RBCs having at least one ulcer-like abnormality; in DMCA-incubated samples 78.6 ± 11.6% for CDMCA = 0.1 mg/ml and 80.4 ± 11.1% for CDMCA = 1.0 mg/ml, while in DMCA-free samples 61.2 ± 8.4% prior to and 63.6 ± 13.5% after incubation. Second, increased number of ulcer-like abnormalities per RBC; in DMCA-incubated samples 4.26 ± 0.62 for CDMCA = 0.1 mg/ml and 3.99 ± 0.97 for CDMCA = 1.0 mg/ml, while in DMCA-free samples 2.84 ± 0.54 prior to and 2.98 ± 0.50 after incubation. The combined OM, AFM and HA results prove fair hemocompatibility of the 68Ga-DPD-Fe3O4 DMCA with human RBCs, thus documenting its potential use in imaging applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Boron nitride (BN) nanomaterials are promising in biomedical research owing to their large surface area, graphene-like structure, and chemical and thermal properties. However, the toxicological effects of BN on erythrocytes and blood coagulation remain uninvestigated. OBJECTIVE The aims of our study were to synthesize glycol chitosan (GC)- and hyaluronic acid (HA)-coated BNs, and to investigate the effects of these BNs on human cancer cells, erythrocytes, and whole blood. METHODS We prepared hemocompatible forms of BN coated with GC and HA, and evaluated them using cell uptake/viability tests, hemolysis analysis and FE-SEM, as well as through hemorheological evaluation methods such as RBC deformability and aggregation, and blood coagulation. RESULTS GC/BN and HA/BN were both ∼200 nm, were successfully taken into cells, and emitted blue fluorescence. Both BNs were less toxic than bare BN, even at higher concentrations. The aggregation index of human red blood cells (RBCs) after 2 h incubation with BN, GC/BN, and HA/BN was greatly influenced, whereas RBC deformability did not dramatically change. CONCLUSIONS We found that GC/BN affected the intrinsic coagulation pathway, whereas both GC/BN and HA/BN affected the extrinsic pathway. Therefore, HA/BN is less detrimental to RBCs and blood coagulation dynamics than bare BN and GC/BN.

Abstract
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are potential candidates for various biomedical applications such as drug delivery, bioimaging, cell labeling, and biosensors. However, toxicological information on their effects on red blood cells (RBCs) and the mechanisms involved remain unexplored. To the best of our knowledge, our study is the first to investigate the toxicity effects of three GQDs with different surface functionalizations on the hemorheological characteristics of human RBCs, including hemolysis, deformability, aggregation, and morphological changes. RBCs were exposed to three different forms of GQDs (non-functionalized, hydroxylated, and carboxylated GQDs) at various concentrations (0, 500, 750, and 1000 μg/mL) and incubation times (0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 h). The rheological characteristics of the RBCs were measured using microfluidic-laser diffractometry and aggregometry. Overall, the hemolysis rate and rheological alterations of the RBCs were insignificant at a concentration less than 500 μg/mL. Carboxylated GQDs were observed to have more substantial hemolytic activity and caused abrupt changes in the deformability and aggregation of the RBCs than the non-functionalized or hydroxylated GQDs at concentrations >750 μg/mL. Our findings indicate that hemorheological assessments could be utilized to estimate the degree of toxicity to cells and to obtain useful information on safety sheets for nanomaterials.
