Carvalho-Silva JM, Reis ACD. Anti-inflammatory action of silver nanoparticles in vivo: systematic review and meta-analysis. Heliyon 2024; 10:e34564. [PMID: 39113960 PMCID: PMC11305315 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e34564] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Revised: 07/10/2024] [Accepted: 07/11/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature to investigate whether silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have an anti-inflammatory effect in vivo. The guidelines of PRISMA were applied, and a registration was made in PROSPERO. A personalized search of the PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, Lilacs, and Google Scholar databases was conducted in September 2023. For the data analysis, the inverse variance in the random effects model was used. The tools of SYRCLE and GRADE were used to assess the risk of bias and the certainty of evidence, respectively. From the 9185 identified studies, 5685 duplicate studies were excluded; 52 were read in full text, and 7 were included in this review. Six studies were evaluated by the meta-analysis, and an increase in anti-inflammatory molecules (SMD -5.22; PI [-6.50, -3.94]) and an increase in anti-inflammatory ones (SMD 5.75; PI [3.79, 7.72]) were observed. Qualitative analysis showed a reduction in pro-inflammatory proteins and in the COX-2 pathway. It was concluded that AgNPs present an anti-inflammatory action in vivo through mechanisms involving the reduction of pro-inflammatory molecules and proteins, the increase of anti-inflammatory molecules, and selective inhibition of the COX-2 pathway.

Silver and Carbon Nanomaterials/Nanocomplexes as Safe and Effective ACE2-S Binding Blockers on Human Skin Cell Lines. Molecules 2024; 29:3581. [PMID: 39124987 PMCID: PMC11313757 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29153581] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2024] [Revised: 07/19/2024] [Accepted: 07/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a crucial functional receptor of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Although the scale of infections is no longer at pandemic levels, there are still fatal cases. The potential of the virus to infect the skin raises questions about new preventive measures. In the context of anti-SARS-CoV-2 applications, the interactions of antimicrobial nanomaterials (silver, Ag; diamond, D; graphene oxide, GO and their complexes) were examined to assess their ability to affect whether ACE2 binds with the virus. (2) Methods: ACE2 inhibition competitive tests and in vitro treatments of primary human adult epidermal keratinocytes (HEKa) and primary human adult dermal fibroblasts (HDFa) were performed to assess the blocking capacity of nanomaterials/nanocomplexes and their toxicity to cells. (3) Results: The nanocomplexes exerted a synergistic effect compared to individual nanomaterials. HEKa cells were more sensitive than HDFa cells to Ag treatments and high concentrations of GO. Cytotoxic effects were not observed with D. In the complexes, both carbonic nanomaterials had a soothing effect against Ag. (4) Conclusions: The Ag5D10 and Ag5GO10 nanocomplexes seem to be most effective and safe for skin applications to combat SARS-CoV-2 infection by blocking ACE2-S binding. These nanocomplexes should be evaluated through prolonged in vivo exposure. The expected low specificity enables wider applications.

Abstract
Silver ions (Ag+) are crucial in various fields, but pose environmental and health risks at high concentrations. This study presents a straightforward approach for the ultra-trace detection of Ag+, utilizing a composite of a cytosine-rich oligonucleotide (CRO) and an electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ERGO). Initially, ERGO was synthesized on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) through the reduction of graphene oxide (GO) via cyclic voltammetry. A methylene blue-tagged CRO (MB-CRO) was then anchored to the ERGO surface through π-π interactions, resulting in the formation of an MB-CRO-modified ERGO electrode (MB-CRO/ERGO-GCE). The interaction with Ag+ ions induced the formation of silver-mediated C-Ag+-C coordination, prompting the MB-CRO to adopt a hairpin structure. This conformational change led to the desorption of the MB-CRO from the ERGO-GCE, causing a variation in the redox current of the methylene blue associated with the MB-CRO. Electrochemical assays revealed that the sensor exhibits extraordinary sensitivity to Ag+ ions, with a linear detection range from 1 femtomolar (fM) to 100 nanomolars (nM) and a detection limit of 0.83 fM. Moreover, the sensor demonstrated high selectivity for Ag+ ions and several other benefits, including stability, reproducibility, and straightforward fabrication and operational procedures. Additionally, real sample analyses were performed using the modified electrode to detect Ag+ in tap and pond water samples, yielding satisfactory recovery rates.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) are the mainstay of immunosuppressive cells in the tumor microenvironment, and elimination of M2-type macrophages (M2-TAM) is considered as a potential immunotherapy. However, the interaction of breast cancer cells with macrophages hinders the effectiveness of immunotherapy. In order to improve the efficacy of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) therapy, strategies that simultaneously target the elimination of M2-TAM and breast cancer cells may be able to achieve a better therapy. EXPERIMENTS LyP-SA/AgNP@Dox multifunctional nanoparticles were synthesized by electrostatic adsorption. They were characterized by particle size, potential and spectroscopy. And the efficacy of multifunctional nanoparticles was evaluated in 4 T1 cell lines and M2 macrophages, including their cell uptake intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the therapeutic effect. Furthermore, based on the orthotopic xenotransplantation model of triple negative breast cancer, the biological distribution, fluorescence imaging, biosafety evaluation and combined efficacy evaluation of the nanoplatform were performed. FINDINGS We have successfully prepared LyP-SA/AgNP@Dox and characterized. Administering the nanosystem to 4 T1 tumor cells or M2 macrophages in culture induced accumulation of reactive oxygen species, destruction of mitochondria and apoptosis, and inhibited replication and transcription. Animal experiments demonstrated the nanoparticle had favorable targeting and antitumor activity. Our nanosystem may be useful for simultaneously inhibiting tumor and tumor-associated macrophages in breast cancer and, potentially, other malignancies.

Abstract
In response to the persistent challenge of heavy and noble metal environmental contamination, our research explores a new idea to capture silver through porous spherical silica nanostructures. The aim was realized using microwave radiation at varying power (P = 150 or 800 W) and exposure times (t = 60 or 150 s). It led to the development of a silica surface with enhanced metal-capture capacity. The microwave-assisted silica surface modification influences the notable changes within the carrier but also enforces the crystallization process of silver nanoparticles with different morphology, structure, and chemical composition. Microwave treatment can also stimulate the formation of core-shell bioactive Ag/Ag2CO3 heterojunctions. Due to the silver nanoparticles' sphericity and silver carbonate's presence, the modified nanocomposites exhibited heightened toxicity against common microorganisms, such as E. coli and S. epidermidis. Toxicological assessments, including minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) determinations, underscored the efficacy of the nanocomposites. This research represents a significant stride in addressing pollution challenges. It shows the potential of microwave-modified silicas in the fight against environmental contamination. Microwave engineering underscores a sophisticated approach to pollution remediation and emphasizes the pivotal role of nanotechnology in shaping sustainable solutions for environmental stewardship.

Self-assembling amyloid-like nanostructures from SARS-CoV-2 S1, S2, RBD and N recombinant proteins. Arch Biochem Biophys 2024; 752:109843. [PMID: 38072298 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2023.109843] [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: 10/02/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023]
Abstract
Self-assembling nanoparticles (saNP) and nanofibers were found in the recombinant coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 S1, S2, RBD and N proteins purified by affinity chromatography using Ni Sepharose. Scanning electron (SEM), atomic force (AFM) microscopy on mica or graphite surface and in liquid as well as dynamic light scattering (DLS) revealed nanostructures of various sizes. AFM in liquid cell without drying on the surface showed mean height of S1 saNP 80.03 nm, polydispersity index (PDI) 0.006; for S2 saNP mean height 93.32 nm, PDI = 0.008; for N saNP mean height 16.71 nm, PDI = 0.99; for RBD saNP mean height 16.25 nm, PDI = 0.55. Ratios between the height and radius of each saNP in the range 0.1-0.5 suggested solid protein NP but not vesicles with internal empty spaces. The solid but not empty structures of the protein saNP were also confirmed by STEM after treatment of saNP with the standard contrasting agent uranyl acetate. The saNP remained stable after multiple freeze-thaw cycles in water and hyperosmotic solutions for 2 years at -20 °C. Receptor-mediated penetration of the SARS-CoV-2 S1 and RBD saNP in the African green mokey kidney Vero cells with the specific receptors for β-coronavirus reproduction was more efficient compared to unspecific endocytosis into MDCK cells without the specific receptors. Amyloid-like structures were revealed in the SARS-CoV-2 S1, S2, RBD and N saNP by means of their interaction with Thioflavin T and Congo Red dyes. Taken together, spontaneous formation of the amyloid-like self-assembling nanostructures due to the internal affinity of the SARS-CoV-2 virion proteins might induce proteinopathy in patients, including conformational neurodegenerative diseases, change stability of vaccines and diagnostic systems.

Abstract
To date, implant-associated infection is still a significant clinical challenge, which cannot be effectively eliminated by single therapies due to the formation of microbial biofilms. Herein, a pH-responsive nanoplatform was constructed via the in situ growth of zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanoparticles on the surface of Ti3C2 MXene nanosheets, which was subsequently introduced in poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) to prepare a composite bone scaffold via selective laser sintering technology. In the acidic biofilm microenvironment, the degradation of ZnS released hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas to eliminate the biofilm extracellular DNA (eDNA), thus destroying the compactness of the biofilm. Then, the bacterial biofilm became sensitive to hyperthermia, which could be further destroyed under near-infrared light irradiation due to the excellent photothermal property of MXene, finally achieving gas/photothermal synergistic antibiofilm and efficient sterilization. The results showed that the synergistic gas/photothermal therapy for the composite scaffold not only evidently inhibited the formation of biofilms, but also effectively eradicated the eDNA of the already-formed biofilms and killed 90.4% of E. coli and 84.2% of S. aureus under near infrared light irradiation compared with single gas or photothermal therapy. In addition, the composite scaffold promoted the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Thus, the designed scaffold with excellent biofilm elimination and osteogenesis ability has great potential as an alternative treatment for implant-associated bone infections.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria-caused infections have been a major threat to human health. The abuse of conventional antibiotics accelerates the generation of MDR bacteria and makes the situation worse. The emergence of nanomaterials holds great promise for solving this tricky problem due to their multiple antibacterial mechanisms, tunable antibacterial spectra, and low probabilities of inducing drug resistance. In this review, we summarize the mechanism of the generation of drug resistance, and introduce the recently developed nanomaterials for dealing with MDR bacteria via various antibacterial mechanisms. Considering that biosafety and mass production are the major bottlenecks hurdling the commercialization of nanoantibiotics, we introduce the related development in these two aspects. We discuss urgent challenges in this field and future perspectives to promote the development and translation of nanoantibiotics as alternatives against MDR pathogens to traditional antibiotics-based approaches.

Abstract
Surgical site infection (SSI) remains a major threat for implant failure in orthopedics. Herein, we report a dual-functional coating on Ti implants (named Ti/PDA/BP) with the integration of two-dimensional (2D) photo-sono sensitive black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNSs) and polydopamine (PDA) for efficient bacterial inhibition and bone-implant integration. For the first time, we employ BPNSs as generators of reactive radicals (ROS) under ultrasound (US) stimuli for implant associated infection. Additionally, the application of PDA improves the stability of BPNSs, the biocompatibility and photothermal performance of this hybrid coating. The as-prepared Ti/PDA/BP coating exhibits superior biocompatibility, bioactivity, photothermal and sonodynamic conversion abilities. Owing to the synergistic effect of hyperthermia and ·OH, Ti/PDA/BP damages the membrane and antioxidant system of Staphylococcus aureus, reaching a high antibacterial activity of 96.6% in vitro and 97.3% in vivo with rapid 10 min NIR irradiation and 20 min US treatment. In addition, we firstly unveil the significant effect of Ti/PDA/BP-based sonodynamic therapy (SDT) on bacterial membrane and oxidative stress at the transcriptome level. Moreover, the Ti/PDA/BP coating remarkably promotes osteogenesis in vitro and bone-implant osseointegration in vivo. Overall, development of Ti/PDA/BP bioactive coating provides a new strategy for combating the implant associated infection.

Antifungal Properties of Biogenic Selenium Nanoparticles Functionalized with Nystatin for the Inhibition of Candida albicans Biofilm Formation. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28041836. [PMID: 36838823 PMCID: PMC9958786 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28041836] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 02/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2023] Open
Abstract
In the present study, biogenic selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have been prepared using Paenibacillus terreus and functionalized with nystatin (SeNP@PVP_Nystatin nanoconjugates) for inhibiting growth, morphogenesis, and a biofilm in Candida albicans. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy analysis has shown a characteristic absorption at 289, 303, and 318 nm, and X-ray diffraction analysis has shown characteristic peaks at different 2θ values for SeNPs. Electron microscopy analysis has shown that biogenic SeNPs are spherical in shape with a size in the range of 220-240 nm. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy has confirmed the functionalization of nystatin on SeNPs (formation of SeNP@PVP_Nystatin nanoconjugates), and the zeta potential has confirmed the negative charge on the nanoconjugates. Biogenic SeNPs are inactive; however, nanoconjugates have shown antifungal activities on C. albicans (inhibited growth, morphogenesis, and a biofilm). The molecular mechanism for the action of nanoconjugates via a real-time polymerase chain reaction has shown that genes involved in the RAS/cAMP/PKA signaling pathway play an important role in antifungal activity. In cytotoxic studies, nanoconjugates have inhibited only 12% growth of the human embryonic kidney cell line 293 cells, indicating that the nanocomposites are not cytotoxic. Thus, the biogenic SeNPs produced by P. terreus can be used as innovative and effective drug carriers to increase the antifungal activity of nystatin.

Sparking Nano-Metals on a Surface of Polyethylene Terephthalate and Its Application: Anti-Coronavirus and Anti-Fogging Properties. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231810541.

Abstract
The nano-metal-treated PET films with anti-virus and anti-fogging ability were developed using sparking nano-metal particles of Ag, Zn, and Ti wires on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films. Ag nanoparticles were detected on the PET surface, while a continuous aggregate morphology was observed with Zn and Ti sparking. The color of the Ag-PET films changed to brown with increasing repeat sparking times, but not with the Zn-PET and Ti-PET films. The water contact angle of the nano-metal-treated PET films decreased with increasing repeat sparking times. The RT-PCR anti-virus test confirmed the high anti-virus efficiency of the nano-metal-treated PET films due to the fine particle distribution, high polarity, and binding of the nano-metal ions to the coronavirus, which was destroyed by heat after UV irradiation. A highly transparent, anti-fogging, and anti-virus face shield was prepared using the Zn-PET film. Sparking was an effective technique to prepare the alternative anti-virus and anti-fogging films for medical biomaterial applications because of their low cost, convenience, and fast processing.

Targeting of Silver Cations, Silver-Cystine Complexes, Ag Nanoclusters, and Nanoparticles towards SARS-CoV-2 RNA and Recombinant Virion Proteins. Viruses 2022; 14:v14050902.

Abstract
Background: Nanosilver possesses antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenesis, antiplatelet, and anticancer properties. The development of disinfectants, inactivated vaccines, and combined etiotropic and immunomodulation therapy against respiratory viral infections, including COVID-19, remains urgent. Aim: Our goal was to determine the SARS-CoV-2 molecular targets (genomic RNA and the structural virion proteins S and N) for silver-containing nanomaterials. Methods: SARS-CoV-2 gene cloning, purification of S2 and N recombinant proteins, viral RNA isolation from patients’ blood samples, reverse transcription with quantitative real-time PCR ((RT)2-PCR), ELISA, and multiplex immunofluorescent analysis with magnetic beads (xMAP) for detection of 17 inflammation markers. Results: Fluorescent Ag nanoclusters (NCs) less than 2 nm with a few recovered silver atoms, citrate coated Ag nanoparticles (NPs) with diameters of 20–120 nm, and nanoconjugates of 50–150 nm consisting of Ag NPs with different protein envelopes were constructed from AgNO3 and analyzed by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), ultraviolet-visible light absorption, and fluorescent spectroscopy. SARS-CoV-2 RNA isolated from COVID-19 patients’ blood samples was completely cleaved with the artificial RNase complex compound Li+[Ag+2Cys2−(OH−)2(NH3)2] (Ag-2S), whereas other Ag-containing materials provided partial RNA degradation only. Treatment of the SARS-CoV-2 S2 and N recombinant antigens with AgNO3 and Ag NPs inhibited their binding with specific polyclonal antibodies, as shown by ELISA. Fluorescent Ag NCs with albumin or immunoglobulins, Ag-2S complex, and nanoconjugates of Ag NPs with protein shells had no effect on the interaction between coronavirus recombinant antigens and antibodies. Reduced production of a majority of the 17 inflammation biomarkers after treatment of three human cell lines with nanosilver was demonstrated by xMAP. Conclusion: The antiviral properties of the silver nanomaterials against SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus differed. The small-molecular-weight artificial RNase Ag-2S provided exhaustive RNA destruction but could not bind with the SARS-CoV-2 recombinant antigens. On the contrary, Ag+ ions and Ag NPs interacted with the SARS-CoV-2 recombinant antigens N and S but were less efficient at performing viral RNA cleavage. One should note that SARS-CoV-2 RNA was more stable than MS2 phage RNA. The isolated RNA of both the MS2 phage and SARS-CoV-2 were more degradable than the MS2 phage and coronavirus particles in patients’ blood, due to the protection with structural proteins. To reduce the risk of the virus resistance, a combined treatment with Ag-2S and Ag NPs could be used. To prevent cytokine storm during the early stages of respiratory infections with RNA-containing viruses, nanoconjugates of Ag NPs with surface proteins could be recommended.

Abstract
Microbial infection accounts for many dental diseases and treatment failure. Therefore, the antibacterial properties of dental biomaterials are of great importance to the long-term results of treatment. Silver-based biomaterials (AgBMs) have been widely researched as antimicrobial materials with high efficiency and relatively low toxicity. AgBMs have a broad spectrum of antimicrobial properties, including penetration of microbial cell membranes, damage to genetic material, contact killing, and dysfunction of bacterial proteins and enzymes. In particular, advances in nanotechnology have improved the application value of AgBMs. Hence, in many subspecialties of dentistry, AgBMs have been researched and employed, such as caries arresting or prevention, root canal sterilization, periodontal plaque inhibition, additives in dentures, coating of implants and anti-inflammatory material in oral and maxillofacial surgery. This paper aims to provide an overview of the application approaches of AgBMs in dentistry and present better guidance for oral antimicrobial therapy via the development of AgBMs.
