Abstract
The influence of metal and metal oxide nanomaterials on various fields since their discovery has been remarkable. They have unique properties, and therefore, have been employed in specific applications, including biomedicine. However, their potential health risks cannot be ignored. Several studies have shown that exposure to metal and metal oxide nanoparticles can lead to immunotoxicity. Different types of metals and metal oxide nanoparticles may have a negative impact on the immune system through various mechanisms, such as inflammation, oxidative stress, autophagy, and apoptosis. As an essential factor in determining the function and fate of immune cells, immunometabolism may also be an essential target for these nanoparticles to exert immunotoxic effects in vivo. In addition, the biodegradation and metabolic outcomes of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles are also important considerations in assessing their immunotoxic effects. Herein, we focus on the cellular mechanism of the immunotoxic effects and toxic effects of different types of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, as well as the metabolism and outcomes of these nanoparticles in vivo. Also, we discuss the relationship between the possible regulatory effect of nanoparticles on immunometabolism and their immunotoxic effects. Finally, we present perspectives on the future research and development direction of metal and metal oxide nanomaterials to promote scientific research on the health risks of nanomaterials and reduce their adverse effects on human health.

Abstract
It is a matter of common knowledge in the literature that engineered metal oxide nanoparticles have properties that are efficient for the design of innovative food/beverage packages. Although nanopackages have many benefits, there are circumstances when these materials are able to release nanoparticles into the food/beverage matrix. Once dispersed into food, engineered metal oxide nanoparticles travel through the gastrointestinal tract and subsequently enter human cells, where they display various behaviors influencing human health or wellbeing. This review article provides an insight into the antimicrobial mechanisms of metal oxide nanoparticles as essential for their benefits in food/beverage packaging and provides a discussion on the oral route of these nanoparticles from nanopackages to the human body. This contribution also highlights the potential toxicity of metal oxide nanoparticles for human health. The fact that only a small number of studies address the issue of food packaging based on engineered metal oxide nanoparticles should be particularly noted.

Abstract
The unique triple helix structure of collagen plays an important role in its biological properties, and the triple helix integrity is closely correlated with its molecular behavior and biological functions. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of convenient, accurate and practical methods for quantitatively determining collagen triple helix integrity. Herein, we first prepared bovine skin collagen peptide (BSCP)-protected Au/Ag nanoclusters (Au/AgNCs@BSCP) with excellent optical properties, high stability and good biocompatibility, which could adsorb on WS2 surface leading to fluorescence quenching. Upon the addition of collagen, the interaction of collagen and Au/AgNCs@BSCP led to the detachment of Au/AgNCs@BSCP from the WS2 surface, causing an increase in the fluorescence signal. Using the difference in the fluorescence recovery of the different samples, we achieved the quantitative determination of collagen triple helix integrity. This developed strategy exhibited excellent accuracy, selectivity, and practicality, thus showing promising potentials in biomedical applications.

Gold nanoparticles targeting the autophagy-lysosome system to combat the inflammation-compromised osteogenic potential of periodontal ligament stem cells: From mechanism to therapy. Biomaterials 2022; 288:121743.

Abstract
Although substantial data indicate that the osteogenic potential of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) is compromised under inflammatory conditions, the underlying mechanism remains largely unexplored. In this study, we found that both the autophagy levels and autophagic flux levels were decreased in PDLSCs incubated under inflammatory conditions (I-PDLSCs). Based on the increased expression of LC3 II (at an autophagy level) and decreased accumulation of LC3 II (at an autophagic flux level) in I-PDLSCs, we speculated that the disruption of I-PDLSC autophagy arose from dysfunction of the cellular autophagy-lysosome system. Subsequently, our hypothesis was demonstrated by inhibited autophagosome-lysosome fusion, damaged lysosomal function, and suppressed activation of transcription factor EB (TFEB, a master regulator of the autophagy-lysosome system) in I-PDLSCs and verified by TFEB overexpression in I-PDLSCs. We found that gold nanoparticle (Au NP) treatment rescued the osteogenic potential of I-PDLSCs by restoring the inflammation-compromised autophagy-lysosome system. In this context, Au NP ceased to be effective when TFEB was knocked down in PDLSCs. Our data demonstrate the crucial role of the autophagy-lysosome system in cellular osteogenesis under inflammatory conditions and suggest a new target for rescuing inflammation-induced cell dysfunction using nanomaterials to aid cell biology and tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Objective: By delivering PD-L1 siRNA to A549 cells using nano-gold we tried to enhance the lymphocytes’ ability to inhibit the growth of non-small-cell lung cancer. Methods: In a one-step reaction, gold nanoparticles and PD-L1 siRNA were combined to form gold nanoparticles
and PD-L1 siRNA complexes. After incubation with A549 cells, PD-1 was detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) as well as immunohistochemical staining. Mouse xenografts were used to test the anti-tumor activity. It was found that using a gold nanoparticle-siRNA complex, we
were able to successfully reduce the expression of PD-L1 in A549 cells. The nano-gold-siRNA complex outperformed free siRNA after co-incubation with tumor cells. In vivo experiments show that nano-gold-siRNA is more effective at targeting tumor tissue and increasing T cells’ ability
to inhibit the A549 tumor than free siRNA. For this study, we found that the delivery of siRNA to tumors using a nano-gold nanoparticle enhances the ability of the siRNA to aggregate in tumors, which in turn enhances the ability of T lymphocytes to combat non-small cell lung cancer by enhancing
their anti-tumor activity. This nano-gold-PD-L1-siRNA complex may be a promising treatment for non-small cell lung cancer, according to preliminary results.

Abstract
The purpose of the current study is to uncover the impact of small liganded gold nanoclusters with 10 gold atoms and 10 glutathione ligands (Au10SG10) on several biomarkers in human microglia. We established the links connecting the atomically precise structure of Au10SG10 with their properties and changes in several biomolecules under oxidative stress. Au10SG10 caused the loss of mitochondrial metabolic activity, increased lipid peroxidation and translocation of an alarmin molecule, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), from the nucleus to the cytosol. Molecular modeling provided an insight into the location of amino acid interaction sites with Au10SG10 and the nature of bonds participating in these interactions. We show that Au10SG10 can bind directly to the defined sites of reduced, oxidized, and acetylated HMGB1. Further studies with similar complementary approaches merging live-cell analyses, determination of biomarkers, and cell functions could lead to optimized gold nanoclusters best suited for diagnostic and bioimaging purposes in neuroscience.

Abstract
In recent years, the morbidity and mortality of gastrointestinal cancer have remained high in China. Due to the deep location of the gastrointestinal organs, such as gastric cancer, the early symptoms of cancer are not obvious. It is generally discovered at an advanced stage with distant metastasis and lymph node infiltration, making it difficult to cure. Therefore, there is a significant need for novel technologies that can effectively diagnose and treat gastrointestinal cancer, ultimately reducing its mortality. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs), a type of nanocarrier with unique optical properties and remarkable biocompatibility, have the potential to influence the fate of cancer by delivering drugs, nucleic acids to cancer cells and tissues. As a safe and reliable visualization agent, GNPs can track drugs and accurately indicate the location and boundaries of cancer, opening up new possibilities for cancer treatment. In addition, GNPs have been used in photodynamic therapy to deliver photosensitizers, as well as in combination with photothermal therapy. Therefore, GNPs can be used as a safe and effective nanomaterial in the treatment and diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer.

Abstract
Probing the interaction of nanomaterials (NMs) with proteins is the basic step for biological safety assessment. Many physiochemical factors of NMs play important roles in binding with proteins as they determine the binding process. Among them, the chirality-related biological effects and nanotoxicology have not been fully understood. As NMs are mainly exposed to human circulatory system with intentional or unintentional exposure, understanding the interaction mechanism of plasma functional proteins with chiral NMs is of great importance. Herein, we show the interaction of chiral gold nanoclusters (AuNCs), L- and D-cysteine coated AuNC (i.e., L-AuNC and D-AuNC, respectively) with human coagulation factor XII (FXII, an important plasma zymogen initiating the inner coagulation system). D-AuNC exhibited weak binding affinity for FXII, induced FXII aggregation due to significant conformational change, which then activated the FXII for further cleavage. In contrast to D-AuNC, the binding affinity of L-AuNC for FXII was strong and their bioconjugate was quite stable without aggregation. L-AuNC induced the structural change and autoactivation of FXII to a lower extent. Moreover, the enzymatic activity of FXIIa (the activated form of FXII) was influenced upon incubation with L- AuNCs and D-AuNCs with different molecular mechanisms. The finding will expand the understanding of the nanobiological effects of chiral NMs and suggest the potential application in nanomedicine.

Abstract
Ultra-small gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) with designed sizes and ligands are gaining popularity for biomedical purposes and ultimately for human imaging and therapeutic applications. Human non-tumor brain cells, astrocytes, are of particular interest because they are abundant and play a role in functional regulation of neurons under physiological and pathological conditions. Human primary astrocytes were treated with AuNCs of varying sizes (Au10, Au15, Au18, Au25) and ligand composition (glutathione, polyethylene glycol, N-acetyl cysteine). Concentration and time-dependent studies showed no significant cell loss with AuNC concentrations <10 μM. AuNC treatment caused marked differential astrocytic responses at the organellar and transcription factor level. The effects were exacerbated under severe oxidative stress induced by menadione. Size-dependent effects were most remarkable with the smallest and largest AuNCs (10, 15 Au atoms versus 25 Au atoms) and might be related to the accessibility of biological targets toward the AuNC core, as demonstrated by QM/MM simulations. In summary, these findings suggest that AuNCs are not inert in primary human astrocytes, and that their sizes play a critical role in modulation of organellar and redox-responsive transcription factor homeostasis.

Current Status and Perspectives of Protease Inhibitors and Their Combination with Nanosized Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Cancer Therapy. DRUG DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND THERAPY 2021; 15:9-20.

Abstract
In cancer treatments, many natural and synthetic products have been examined; among them, protease inhibitors are promising candidates for anti-cancer agents. Since dysregulated proteolytic activities can contribute to tumor development and metastasis, antagonization of proteases with tailored inhibitors is an encouraging approach. Although adverse effects of early designs of these inhibitors disappeared after the introduction of next-generation agents, most of the proposed inhibitors did not pass the early stages of clinical trials due to their nonspecific toxicity and lack of pharmacological effects. Therefore, new applications that modulate proteases more specifically and serve their programmed way of administration are highly appreciated. In this context, nanosized drug delivery systems have attracted much attention because preliminary studies have demonstrated that the therapeutic capacity of inhibitors has been improved significantly with encapsulated formulation as compared to their free forms. Here, we address this issue and discuss the current application and future clinical prospects of this potential combination towards targeted protease-based cancer therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
This paper describes the development of a novel method of producing nanocomposites consisting of gold nanoclusters anchored on graphene oxide nanosheets in a cost-effective and reproducible manner. The novelty of the technique hinges on the covalent functionalization of atomically precise subnanometer gold clusters protected by glutathione (Au15SG13 and Au25SG18) on to graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets according to the 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride crosslinking method, using the existing carboxylic groups present both at the surfaces of the nanoclusters and the GO nanosheets. The atomic precision of glutathione-protected gold nanoclusters was evidenced by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The formed hybrid nanocomposites were characterized by TEM measurements and exhibit nonlinear optical properties characteristic of GO, in particular a strong second harmonic scattering response as well as a multi-photon excited fluorescence spectrum characterized by a broad band in the visible range between 350 and 700 nm. Atomically precise nanoclusters covalently linked to GO nanosheets are therefore promising for new applications in the areas of optoelectronics and photovoltaics.

Abstract
Inflammatory processes in the brain are orchestrated by microglia and astrocytes in response to activators such as pathogen-associated molecular patterns, danger-associated molecular patterns and some nanostructures. Microglia are the primary immune responders in the brain and initiate responses amplified by astrocytes through intercellular signaling. Intercellular communication between neural cells can be studied in cerebral organoids, co-cultures or in vivo. We used human cerebral organoids and glioblastoma co-cultures to study glia modulation by dendritic polyglycerol sulfate (dPGS). dPGS is an extensively studied nanostructure with inherent anti-inflammatory properties. Under inflammatory conditions, lipocalin-2 levels in astrocytes are markedly increased and indirectly enhanced by soluble factors released from hyperactive microglia. dPGS is an effective anti-inflammatory modulator of these markers. Our results show that dPGS can enter neural cells in cerebral organoids and glial cells in monocultures in a time-dependent manner. dPGS markedly reduces lipocalin-2 abundance in the neural cells. Glioblastoma tumoroids of astrocytic origin respond to activated microglia with enhanced invasiveness, whereas conditioned media from dPGS-treated microglia reduce tumoroid invasiveness. Considering that many nanostructures have only been tested in cancer cells and rodent models, experiments in human 3D cerebral organoids and co-cultures are complementary in vitro models to evaluate nanotherapeutics in the pre-clinical setting. Thoroughly characterized organoids and standardized procedures for their preparation are prerequisites to gain information of translational value in nanomedicine. This study provides data for a well-characterized dendrimer (dPGS) that modulates the activation state of human microglia implicated in brain tumor invasiveness.

Abstract
The unique features of noble-metal nanostructures (NMNs) are leading to unprecedented expansion of research and exploration of their application in therapeutics, diagnostics and bioimaging fields. With the ever-growing applications of NMNs, both therapeutic and environmental NMNs are likely to be exposed to tissues and organs, requiring careful studies towards their biological effects in vitro and in vivo. Upon NMNs exposure, tissues and cells may undergo a series of adaptive changes both in morphology and function. At the cellular level, the accumulation of NMNs in various subcellular organelles including lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, and nucleus may interfere with their functions, causing changes in a variety of cellular functions, such as digestion, protein synthesis and secretion, energy metabolism, mitochondrial respiration, and proliferation. In animals, retention of NMNs in metabolic-, respiratory-, immune-related, and other organs can trigger significant physiological and pathological changes to these organs and influence their functions. Exploring how NMNs interact with tissues and cells and the underlying mechanisms are of vital importance for their future applications. Here, we illustrate the characteristics of NMNs-induced adaptive changes both in vitro and in vivo. Potential strategies in the design of NMNs are also discussed to take advantage of beneficial adaptive changes and avoid unfavorable changes for the proper implementation of these nanoplatforms.
