Research situation of pH low insertion peptides / 药学学报

Extracellular acidity has been associated with many pathological states, such as cancer, ischemic stroke, neurotrauma and infection, which makes it an effective target for therapy and diagnosis of such diseases. As a polypeptide vector, pH low insertion peptides (pHLIPs) are endowed with high sensitivity to extracellular acidic environment, which can insert the membrane and deliver payload to pathological cells in a pH dependent manner. Here, theranostic applications of pHLIP in disease, are reviewed in two aspects:pHLIP-mediated single-molecule transporter and nano-sized carrier.

Efeito da adição de nanopartículas de hexametafosfato de sódio em dentifrícios fluoretados sobre o processo de remineralização, desmineralização e biofilme dentário: estudos in situ / Effect of the addition of nanoparticles of sodium hexametaphosphate in fluoridated toothpaste on the process of remineralization, demineralization and dental biofilm: in situ studies

O objetivo geral deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito de um dentifrício fluoretado convencional (1100 ppm F), contendo nanopartículas de hexametafosfato de sódio (HMPnano) sobre a remineralização de lesões artificiais de cárie e desmineralização do esmalte in situ e biofilme. O estudo de remineralização, foi duplo-cego cruzado, realizado em quatro fases de três dias cada. Voluntários (n=12) usaram dispositivos palatinos contendo quatro blocos de esmalte bovino com lesões artificiais de cárie. A seguir foram distribuídos aleatoriamente nos seguintes grupos de tratamento: sem F/HMP/HMPnano (Placebo); 1100 ppm F (1100F); 1100F associado a 0,5% HMP microparticulado e nanoparticulado (1100F/HMP; 1100F/HMPnano). Os voluntários foram instruídos a escovar seus dentes naturais com os dispositivos palatinos na boca durante 1 min (3x/dia), de modo que os blocos foram tratados com slurry de dentifrícios. Após cada fase, determinou-se a porcentagem de recuperação de dureza de superfície (%SHR), recuperação integrada de dureza de subsuperfície (ΔIHR), recuperação mineral integrada (ΔIMR) e concentração de fluoreto (F) no esmalte. Os resultados foram submetidos a análise de variância de medidas repetidas seguido pelo teste Student-Newman-Keuls (p < 0,001). A superfície do esmalte tornou-se 68% mais remineralizada quando tratada com 1100F/HMPnano em comparação com 1100F (p < 0,001). O tratamento com 1100F/HMP e 1100F/HMPnano promoveu um aumento em ~ 23% e ~ 87% da ΔIHR quando comparado ao 1100F (p < 0,001). Além disso, ΔIMR foi de ~ 75% e ~ 33% maior para 1100F/HMPnano quando comparado a 1100F e 1100F/HMP, respectivamente (p < 0,001). O estudo de desmineralização foi duplo-cego cruzado, e consistiu em quatro fases (7 dias cada). Voluntários (n=12) usaram aparelhos palatinos contendo quatro blocos de esmaltes bovinos. O desafio cariogênico foi realizado pela solução de sacarose a 30% (6x/dia). Os tratamentos com os dentífricios (3x/dia) foram os seguintes: sem F/ HMP/HMPnano (Placebo); 1100 ppm F (1100F); 1100F associado a 0,5% HMP microparticulado e nanoparticulado (1100F/HMP; 1100F/HMPnano). Após sete dias determinou-se a porcentagem de perda de dureza de superfície (%SH), perda integrada de dureza subsuperfície (ΔKHN), cálcio (Ca), fósforo (P) e fluoreto (F) no esmalte. Além disso, no biofilme formado sobre os blocos analisou-se as concentrações de polissacarídeos extracelulares (EPS), F, Ca, P. Os resultados foram submetidos a análise de variância de medidas repetidas seguido pelo teste Student-Newman-Keuls (p < 0,001). Resultados: 1100F/HMPnano promoveu menor %SH e ΔKHN quando comparado aos demais grupos (p < 0,001). A adição de HMPnano a 1100F não aumentou a absorção de F e P no esmalte, mas aumentou significativamente as concentrações de Ca (p < 0,001). O grupo 1100F/HMPnano apresentou valores mais baixos de concentração de EPS quando comparado com 1100F (~ 70%) (p < 0,001). Todos os grupos foram supersaturados em relação a hidroxiapatita (HA). Somente, o grupo 1100F/HMPnano foi supersaturado em relação ao fluoreto de cálcio (CaF2) (p < 0,05). As atividades iônicas de íon fluoreto de cálcio (CaF+) e fluoreto de hidrogênio neutro (HF0) para o grupo 1100F/HMPnano foram significativamente maiores quando comparadas aos demais grupos (p < 0,001). Conclui-se que a adição de HMPnano a um dentifrício convencional promoveu um efeito remineralizador significantemente maior em lesões artificiais de cárie e demonstrou um maior efeito protetor contra a desmineralização e variáveis do biofilme in situ(AU)

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a conventional fluoride toothpaste (1100 ppm F) containing nano-sizeds of sodium hexametaphosphate (HMPnano) on the remineralization of artificial caries lesions and enamel demineralization and biofilm in situ. The remineralization study was double-blinded crossed, performed in 4 phases of 3 days each. Volunteers (n = 12) used palatal devices containing four blocks of bovine enamel with artificial lesions of caries. They were then randomly assigned to the following treatment groups: without F/ HMP/HMPnano (Placebo); 1100 ppm F (1100F); 1100F associated with 0.5% HMP microparticulate and nano-sized (1100F/HMP; 1100F/ HMPnano). The volunteers were instructed to brush their natural teeth with the palatine devices in the mouth for 1 min (3x/day), so that the blocks were treated with slurry of toothpastes. After each phase, the percentage of surface hardness recovery (%SHR), integrated recovery of subsurface hardness (ΔIHR), integrated mineral recovery (ΔIMR) and fluoride (F) concentration in the enamel were determined. The results were subjected to analysis of variance of repeated measures followed by Student-Newman-Keuls test (p < 0.001). The enamel surface became 68% more remineralized when treated with 1100F/ HMPnano compared to 1100F (p < 0.001). Treatment with 1100F/HMP and 1100F/ HMPnano promoted an increase in ~ 23% and ~ 87% of ΔIHR when compared to 1100F (p < 0.001). In addition, ΔIMR was ~ 75% and ~ 33% higher for 1100F/HMPnano when compared to 1100F and 1100F/HMP, respectively (p < 0.001). The study of demineralization was double-blinded crossed, and consisted of four phases (7 days each). Volunteers (n = 12) used palatal appliances containing four blocks of bovine enamel. The cariogenic challenge was accomplished by the solution of sucrose 30% (6x/day). Treatments with the toothpaste (3x/day) were as follows: without F/HMP/HMPnano (Placebo); 1100 ppm F (1100F); 1100F associated with 0.5% HMP microparticulate and nano-sized (1100F/HMP; 1100F/HMPnano). After 7 days the percentage of surface hardness loss (%SH), integrated loss of subsurface hardness (ΔKHN), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and fluoride (F) in the enamel were determined. The results were submitted to analysis of variance of repeated measurements followed by the Student-Newman-Keuls test (p < 0.001). The results were analyzed using the Student-Newman-Keuls test (p < 0.001). Results: 1100F/HMPnano promoted lower %SH and ΔKHN when compared to the other groups (p < 0.001). Addition of HMPnano to 1100F did not increase the absorption of enamel F, but significantly increased enamel Ca concentrations (p < 0.001). The 1100F/HMPnano group had lower values of EPS concentration when compared to 1100F (~ 70%) (p < 0.001). All groups were supersaturated with respect to hydroxyapatite (HA). Only, the 1100F/HMPnano group was supersaturated relative to calcium fluoride (CaF2) (p < 0.05). The ionic activities of calcium fluoride ion (CaF+) and neutral hydrogen fluoride (HF0) for the 1100F/HMPnano group were significantly higher when compared to the other groups (p < 0.001). It was concluded that the addition of HMPnano to a conventional toothpaste promoted a significantly greater remineralizing effect on artificial caries lesions and demonstrated a greater protective effect against demineralization and biofilm in situ(AU)

Comparison of teratogenecity induced by nano- and micro-sized particles of zinc oxide in cultured mouse embryos / 대한수의학회지

The increasing uses of zinc oxide nanoparticles (nZnO) in industrial and personal care products raise possible danger of using nZnO in human. To determine whether ZnO induces size-dependent anomalies during embryonic organogenesis, mouse embryos on embryonic day 8.5 were cultured for 2 days under 50, 100, and 150 microg of nZnO (< 100 nm) or micro-sized ZnO (mZnO; 80 +/- 25 microm), after which the morphological changes, cumulative quantity of Zn particles, and expressions of antioxidant and apoptotic genes were investigated. Although embryos exposed to 50 microg of ZnO exhibited no defects on organogenesis, embryos exposed to over 100 microg of ZnO showed increasing anomalies. Embryos treated with 150 microg of nZnO revealed significant changes in Zn absorption level and morphological parameters including yolk sac diameter, head length, flexion, hindbrain, forebrain, branchial bars, maxillary process, mandibular process, forelimb, and total score compared to the same dose of mZnO-treated embryos. Furthermore, CuZn-superoxide dismutase, cytoplasmic glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and phospholipid hydroperoxidase GPx mRNA levels were significantly decreased, but caspase-3 mRNA level was greatly increased in nZnO-treated embryos as compared to normal control embryos. These findings indicate that nZnO has severer teratogenic effects than mZnO in developing embryos.

The Effects of Humidifier Generating Nano-sized Water Particles on Skin Hydration and Transepidermal Water Loss of the Normal Human Skin / 대한피부과학회지

BACKGROUND: Nano-sized water particles have been thought to moisturize the skin more effectively. However, clear benefits of humidifier generating nano-sized water particles on the skin have not been studied. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of humidifier generating nano-sized water particles on the skin by measuring the levels of the skin hydration state and skin barrier function with an objective, quantifiable method. METHODS: A 4-week, randomized, case-control study was conducted in 40 healthy Korean women, aged between 20 and 39, and they were divided into two groups, the experimental and control groups. The experimental group used humidifier generating nano-sized water particles for 8 hours every night, during 4 weeks. Skin hydration and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) were measured every week on the forehead and cheek using corneometer and tewameter, respectively. Safety evaluations were also performed at each visit. RESULTS: The baseline skin hydration and TEWL values showed no significant differences between the two groups. After 1 week of use, the experimental group showed significantly increased skin hydration values (p<0.001, p<0.0001) and decreased levels of TEWL values (p=0.017, p=0.025) as compared to the control group. During a 4-week study period, increased skin hydration and decreased TEWL were sustained in the experimental group. No adverse effects were observed in all the volunteers. CONCLUSION: These results show that humidifier, which generates nano-sized water particles, seems to positively affect skin hydration and skin barrier function. More studies and sufficient follow-up time are needed for the assessment of the humidifier generating nano-sized water particles.

Effect of Nano-sized Carbon Black Particles on Lung and Circulatory System by Inhalation Exposure in Rats

OBJECTIVES: We sought to establish a novel method to generate nano-sized carbon black particles (nano-CBPs) with an average size smaller than 100 nm for examining the inhalation exposure risks of experimental rats. We also tested the effect of nano-CBPs on the pulmonary and circulatory systems. METHODS: We used chemical vapor deposition (CVD) without the addition of any additives to generate nano-CBPs with a particle size (electrical mobility diameter) of less than 100nm to examine the effects of inhalation exposure. Nano-CBPs were applied to a nose-only inhalation chamber system for studying the inhalation toxicity in rats. The effect on the lungs and circulatory system was determined according to the degree of inflammation as quantified by bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). The functional alteration of the hemostatic and vasomotor activities was measured by plasma coagulation, platelet activity, contraction and relaxation of blood vessels. RESULTS: Nano-CBPs were generated in the range of 83.3-87.9 nm. Rats were exposed for 4 hour/day, 5 days/week for 4 weeks to 4.2 x 10(6), 6.2 x 10(5), and 1.3 x 10(5) particles/cm3. Exposure of nano-CBPs by inhalation resulted in minimal pulmonary inflammation and did not appear to damage the lung tissue. In addition, there was no significant effect on blood functions, such as plasma coagulation and platelet aggregation, or on vasomotor function. CONCLUSION: We successfully generated nano-CBPs in the range of 83.3-87.9 nm at a maximum concentration of 4.2 x 10(6) particles/cm3 in a nose-only inhalation chamber system. This reliable method can be useful to investigate the biological and toxicological effects of inhalation exposure to nano-CBPs on experimental rats.
