AB  - We report an innovative low-cost wet  precipitation  synthesis  method  for  gelatin-modified   zinc oxide nanoparticles (GM ZnO NPs) at the inter- face  between  the  gelatin  hydrogel  and  aqueous  elec- trolyte.  Diffusion  of  ammonia  through  the  hydrogel   matrices with different gelatin contents induced pre- cipitation  of  the  product  in  contact  with  the  surface   of  the  aqueous  solution  of  zinc  ions.  The  obtained   precipitate  was  subjected  to  thermal  treatment  to  partially  decompose  the  adsorbed  gelatin  in  the  NP   structure. Physicochemical properties of obtained  GM  ZnO  NPs  were  characterized  by  X-ray  powder   diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy  (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy  (FTIR), differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermo- gravimetry (TG), photon correlation spectroscopy  (PCS),  zeta  potential  measurements,  and  inductively   coupled  plasma-mass  spectrometry  (ICP-MS).  The   estimated mean crystallite size of GM ZnO NP pow- ders was in the range from 5.8 to 12.1 nm. The syn- thesized  NPs  exhibited  nanosheet  morphology  and   arranged into flake-like aggregates. The toxic poten- tial was investigated in vitro in human hepatocellular  carcinoma cell line HepG2. The thiazolyl blue tetra- zolium bromide (MTS) assay was used to assess cell  viability,  2′,7′-dichlor-fluorescein-diacetate  (DCFH- DA)  assay  to  examine  the  formation  of  intracellu- lar  reactive  oxygen  species  (ROS),  and  comet  assay   to  evaluate  the  genotoxic  response.  GM  ZnO  NPs   slightly reduced HepG2 cell viability, did not induce  ROS formation, and showed low genotoxic potential  at  very  high  doses  (100  μg    mL−1).  ZnO  NPs  fabri- cated  and  modified  using  the  proposed  methodol- ogy deserve further study as potential candidates for  antibacterial agents or dietary supplements with low  overall toxicity.

AB  - Poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) microspheres as a carrier for sustained release of antibacterial agent, selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs), were developed. The obtained PCL/SeNPs microspheres were in the range 1–4 μm with the encapsulation efficiency of about 90%. The degradation process and release behavior of SeNPs from PCL microspheres were investigated in five different degradation media: phosphate buffer solution (PBS), a solution of lipase isolated from the porcine pancreas in PBS, 0.1 M hydrochloric acid (HCl), Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 cell-free extract in PBS and implant fluid (exudate) from the subcutaneously implanted sterile polyvinyl sponges which induce a foreign-body inflammatory reaction. The samples were thoroughly characterized by SEM, TEM, FTIR, XRD, PSA, DSC, confocal microscopy, and ICP-OES techniques. Under physiological conditions at neutral pH, a very slow release of SeNPs occurred (3 and 8% in the case of PBS or PBS + lipase, respectively and after 660 days), while in the acidic environment their presence was not detected. On the other hand, the release in the medium with bacterial extract was much more pronounced, even after 24 h (13%). After 7 days, the concentration of SeNPs reached a maximum of around 30%. Also, 37% of SeNPs have been released after 11 days of incubation of PCL/SeNPs in the implant exudate. These results suggest that the release of SeNPs from PCL was triggered by Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 bacterium as well as by foreign body inflammatory reaction to implant. Furthermore, PCL/SeNPs microspheres were investigated in terms of their biocompatibility. For this purpose, cytotoxicity, the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and genotoxicity were evaluated on HepG2 cell line. The interaction of PCL/SeNPs with phagocytic cell line (Raw 264.7 macrophages) was monitored as well. It was found that the microspheres in investigated concentration range had no acute cytotoxic effects. Finally, SeNPs, as well as PCL/SeNPs, showed a considerable antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (ATCC 1228). These results suggest that PCL/SeNPs-based system could be an attractive platform for a prolonged prevention of infections accompanying implants. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.

AB  - Nanostructured zinc oxides are promising materials for numerous biomedical applications where they can serve as therapeutic agents or tools for sensing and imaging. Despite their favorable properties, wider use of zinc oxide nanoparticles in biomedicine is limited by toxicity issues. Therefore, new synthesis approaches should be devised to obtain zinc oxide nanoparticles which are safe-by-design. We present an innovative low-cost wet precipitation synthesis of gelatin modified zinc oxide nanoparticles at the gel/liquid interface. The diffusion of ammonia through the gelatin hydrogels of different porosities induces precipitation of the product in contact with the surface of the aqueous solution of zinc ions. After thermal treatment of the precipitate, adsorbed organic residues of decomposed gelatin act as modifiers of zinc oxide nanoparticles. We characterized the physicochemical properties of obtained gelatin modified zinc oxide nanoparticles by XRD, FTIR, DTA/TG, and SEM. The synthesized nanoparticles show hexagonal wurtzite structure and form flakelike aggregates. FTIR and DTA/TG analyses indicate that the thermal decomposition of adsorbed gelatin depends on the gelatin content of the hydrogel used in the synthesis. We also examined the viability of HepG2 cells, generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species, and genotoxicity using the MTS, DCFH-DA, and alkaline comet assay, respectively. Fabricated gelatin modified zinc oxide nanoparticles show very low toxicity potential at doses relevant for human exposure.

AB  - We investigated the genotoxic responses to two types of TiO2 nanoparticles (<25 nm anatase: TiO2-An, and <100 nm rutile: TiO2-Ru) in human hepatoma HepG2 cells. Under the applied exposure conditions the particles were agglomerated or aggregated with the size of agglomerates and aggregates in the micrometer range, and were not cytotoxic. TiO2-An, but not TiO2-Ru, caused a persistent increase in DNA strand breaks (comet assay) and oxidized purines (Fpg-comet). TiO2-An was a stronger inducer of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) than TiO2-Ru. Both types of TiO2 nanoparticles transiently upregulated mRNA expression of p53 and its downstream regulated DNA damage responsive genes (mdm2, gadd45α, p21), providing additional evidence that TiO2 nanoparticles are genotoxic. The observed differences in responses of HepG2 cells to exposure to anatase and rutile TiO2 nanoparticles support the evidence that the toxic potential of TiO2 nanoparticles varies not only with particle size but also with crystalline structure.
