ROS mediated Cu[Fe(CN) 5NO] nanoparticles for triple negative breast cancer: A detailed study in preclinical mouse model. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2024; 160:213832. [PMID: 38547763 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2024.213832] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2024] [Revised: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 03/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/04/2024]
Abstract
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive form of tumor, more prevalent in younger women resulting in poor survival rate (2nd in cancer deaths) because of its asymptomatic existence. The most popular and convenient approach for the treatment of TNBC is chemotherapy which is associated with several limitations. Considering the importance of nanotechnology in health care system, in the present manuscript, we have designed and developed a simple, efficient, cost effective, and ecofriendly method for the synthesis of copper nitroprusside analogue nanoparticles (Cu[Fe(CN)5NO] which is abbreviated as CuNPANP that may be the potential anti-cancer nanomedicine for the treatment of TNBC. Copper (present in CuNPANP) is used because of its affordability, nutritional value and various biomedical applications. The CuNPANP are thoroughly characterized using several analytical techniques. The in vitro cell viability (in normal cells) and the ex vivo hemolysis assay reveal the biocompatible nature of CuNPANP. The anti-cancer activity of the CuNPANP is established in TNBC cells (MDA-MB-231 and 4T1) through several in vitro assays along with plausible mechanisms. The intraperitoneal administration of CuNPANP in orthotopic breast tumor model by transplanting 4T1 cells into the mammary fat pad of BALB/c mouse significantly inhibits the growth of breast carcinoma as well as increases the survival time of tumor-bearing mice. These results altogether potentiate the anti-cancer efficacy of CuNPANP as a smart therapeutic nanomedicine for treating TNBC in near future after bio-safety evaluation in large animals.

Abstract
Manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnOx NPs) are finding applications in several environmentally important areas such as farming and energy storage. MnOx NPs span a range of metal oxidation states that open up a wide range of applications in catalysis as well. As a result, it is important to understand how such materials can impact human health through incidental exposure. In this study, we examined a range of commercially available Mn2O3 NPs and compared our characterization data to those supplied by manufacturers. Discrepancies were noted and then measured values were used to assess the biological impact of these materials on three mammalian cell lines-A549, HepG2 and J774A.1 cells. Cell toxicity assays showed that all Mn2O3 particles exhibited cytotoxic effects that may be correlated, at least in part, to the production of reactive oxygen species. All eight nanoforms also activated caspase 3 but not caspase 1, although the magnitude of these changes varied greatly between materials.

Abstract
The impact of solubility on the toxicity of metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) requires further exploration to ascertain the impact of the dissolved and particulate species on response. In this study, FE1 mouse lung epithelial cells were exposed for 2-48 h to 4 MONPs of varying solubility: zinc oxide, nickel oxide, aluminum oxide, and titanium dioxide, in addition to microparticle analogues and metal chloride equivalents. Previously published data from FE1 cells exposed for 2-48 h to copper oxide and copper chloride were examined in the context of exposures in the present study. Viability was assessed using Trypan Blue staining and transcriptomic responses via microarray analysis. Results indicate material solubility is not the sole property governing MONP toxicity. Transcriptional signaling through the 'HIF-1α Signaling' pathway describes the response to hypoxia, which also includes genes associated with processes such as oxidative stress and unfolded protein responses and represents a conserved response across all MONPs tested. The number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in this pathway correlated with apical toxicity, and a panel of the top ten ranked DEGs was constructed (Hmox1, Hspa1a, Hspa1b, Mmp10, Adm, Serpine1, Slc2a1, Egln1, Rasd1, Hk2), highlighting mechanistic differences among tested MONPs. The HIF-1α pathway is proposed as a biomarker of MONP exposure and toxicity that can help prioritize MONPs for further evaluation and guide specific testing strategies.

Abstract
Use of nanoparticles have established benefits in a wide range of applications, however, the effects of exposure to nanoparticles on health and the environmental risks associated with the production and use of nanoparticles are less well-established. The present study addresses this gap in knowledge by examining, through a scoping review of the current literature, the effects of nanoparticles on human health and the environment. We searched relevant databases including Medline, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Scopus, CINAHL, Embase, and SAGE journals, as well as Google, Google Scholar, and grey literature from June 2021 to July 2021. After removing duplicate articles, the title and abstracts of 1495 articles were first screened followed by the full-texts of 249 studies, and this resulted in the inclusion of 117 studies in the presented review.In this contribution we conclude that while nanoparticles offer distinct benefits in a range of applications, they pose significant threats to humans and the environment. Using several biological models and biomarkers, the included studies revealed the toxic effects of nanoparticles (mainly zinc oxide, silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide, silver, and carbon nanotubes) to include cell death, production of oxidative stress, DNA damage, apoptosis, and induction of inflammatory responses. Most of the included studies (65.81%) investigated inorganic-based nanoparticles. In terms of biomarkers, most studies (76.9%) used immortalised cell lines, whiles 18.8% used primary cells as the biomarker for assessing human health effect of nanoparticles. Biomarkers that were used for assessing environmental impact of nanoparticles included soil samples and soybean seeds, zebrafish larvae, fish, and Daphnia magna neonates.From the studies included in this work the United States recorded the highest number of publications (n = 30, 25.64%), followed by China, India, and Saudi Arabia recording the same number of publications (n = 8 each), with 95.75% of the studies published from the year 2009. The majority of the included studies (93.16%) assessed impact of nanoparticles on human health, and 95.7% used experimental study design. This shows a clear gap exists in examining the impact of nanoparticles on the environment.

The Impact of Metal Nanoparticles on the Immunoregulatory and Therapeutic Properties of Mesenchymal Stem Cells. Stem Cell Rev Rep 2023:10.1007/s12015-022-10500-2.

Abstract
Negative impacts of nanomaterials on stem cells and cells of the immune system are one of the main causes of an impaired or slowed tissue healing. Therefore, we tested effects of four selected types of metal nanoparticles (NPs): zinc oxide (ZnO), copper oxide (CuO), silver (Ag), and titanium dioxide (TiO2) on the metabolic activity and secretory potential of mouse mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and on the ability of MSCs to stimulate production of cytokines and growth factors by macrophages. Individual types of nanoparticles differed in the ability to inhibit metabolic activity, and significantly decreased the production of cytokines and growth factors (interleukin-6, vascular endothelial growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor, insulin-like growth factor-1) by MSCs, with the strongest inhibitory effect of CuO NPs and the least effect of TiO2 NPs. The recent studies indicate that immunomodulatory and therapeutic effects of transplanted MSCs are mediated by macrophages engulfing apoptotic MSCs. We co-cultivated macrophages with heat-inactivated MSCs which were untreated or were preincubated with the highest nontoxic concentrations of metal NPs, and the secretory activity of macrophages was determined. Macrophages cultivated in the presence of both untreated MSCs or MSCs preincubated with NPs produced significantly enhanced and comparable levels of various cytokines and growth factors. These results suggest that metal nanoparticles inhibit therapeutic properties of MSCs by a direct negative effect on their secretory activity, but MSCs cultivated in the presence of metal NPs have preserved the ability to stimulate cytokine and growth factor production by macrophages.

Abstract
Although most studies that explore the cytotoxicity of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nano-TiO2) have focused on cell viability and oxidative stress, the cell cycle, a basic process of cell life, can also be affected. However, the results on the effects of nano-TiO2 on mammalian cell cycle are still inconsistent. A systematic review and meta-analysis were therefore performed in this research based on the effects of nano-TiO2 on the mammalian cell cycle in vitro to explore whether nano-TiO2 can induce cell cycle arrest. Meanwhile, the impact of physicochemical properties of nano-TiO2 on the cell cycle in vitro was investigated, and the response of normal cells and cancer cells was compared. A total of 33 articles met the eligibility criteria after screening. We used Review Manager 5.4 and Stata 15.1 for analysis. The results showed an increased percentage of cells in the sub-G1 phase and an upregulation of the p53 gene after being exposed to nano-TiO2. Nevertheless, nano-TiO2 had no effect on cell percentage in other phases of the cell cycle. Furthermore, subgroup analysis revealed that the cell percentage in both the sub-G1 phase of normal cells and S phase of cancer cells were significantly increased under anatase-form nano-TiO2 treatment. Moreover, nano-TiO2 with a particle size <25 nm or exposure duration of nano-TiO2 more than 24 h induced an increased percentage of normal cells in the sub-G1 phase. In addition, the cell cycle of cancer cells was arrested in the S phase no matter if the exposure duration of nano-TiO2 was more than 24 h or the exposure concentration was over 50 μg/mL. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that nano-TiO2 disrupted the cell cycle in vitro. The cell cycle arrest induced by nano-TiO2 varies with cell status and physicochemical properties of nano-TiO2.

Abstract
Nano-based products have shown their daunting presence in several sectors. Among them, Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles wangled the reputation of providing "next-generation solutions" and are being utilized in plethora of products. Their widespread application has led to increased exposure of these particles, raising concerns regarding toxicological repercussions to the human health and environment. The diversity, complexity, and heterogeneity in the available literature, along with correlation of befitting attributes, makes it challenging to develop one systematic framework to predict this toxicity. The present study aims at developing predictive modelling framework to tap the prospective features responsible for causing cytotoxicity in-vitro on exposure to ZnO nanoparticles. Rigorous approach was used to mine the information from complete body of evidence published to date. The attributes, features and experimental conditions were systematically extracted to unmask the effect of varied features. 1240 data points from 76 publications were obtained, containing 14 qualitative and quantitative attributes, including physiochemical properties of nanoparticles, cell culture and experimental parameters to perform meta-analysis. For the first time, the efforts were made to investigate the degree of significance of attributes accountable for causing cytotoxicity on exposure to ZnO nanoparticles. We show that in-vitro cytotoxicity is closely related with dose concentration of nanoparticles, followed by exposure time, disease state of the cell line and size of these nanoparticles among other attributes.

Abstract
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) are increasingly used in consumer products, industrial and medical applications, raising concerns on their potential toxicity. The available in vitro and in vivo studies on these NPs show controversial results. Crystalline structure is the physicochemical characteristic that seems to influence mainly TiO2NPs toxicity, so its effect needs to be further studied. We aimed to study whether and how crystalline form influences potential cyto-genotoxic and inflammatory effects induced by two commercial TiO2NPs (TiO2-A, mainly anatase; TiO2-B, mainly rutile) in human alveolar A549 and bronchial BEAS-2B cells exposed to 1–40 µg/mL. Cell viability (WST-1), membrane damage (LDH release), IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α release (ELISA) and direct/oxidative DNA damage (fpg-comet assay) were evaluated. Physicochemical characterization included analysis of crystalline form (TEM and XRD), specific surface area (BET), agglomeration (DLS) and Z-potential (ELS). Our results show that TiO2-A NPs induce in BEAS-2B cytotoxicity and a slight inflammation and in A549 slight oxidative effects, whereas TiO2-B NPs induce genotoxic/oxidative effects in both cell lines, revealing different toxicity mechanisms for the two tested NPs. In conclusion, our study confirms the influence of crystalline form on cellular response, also demonstrating the suitability of our in vitro model to screen early TiO2NPs effects.
