| 1 | Zinc phosphate-based nanoparticles as a novel antibacterial agent: in vivo study on rats after dietary exposure显示文摘Background: Development of new nanomaterials that inhibit or kil bacteria is an important and timely research topic. For example, financial losses due to infectious diseases, such as diarrhea, are a major concern in livestock productions around the world. Antimicrobial nanoparticles(NPs) represent a promising alternative to antibiotics and may lower antibiotic use and consequently spread of antibiotic resistance traits among bacteria, including pathogens.Results: Four formulations of zinc nanoparticles(Zn A, Zn B, Zn C, and Zn D) based on phosphates with spherical(Zn A, Zn B)or irregular(Zn C, Zn D) morphology were prepared. The highest in vitro inhibitory effect of our NPs was observed against Staphylococcus aureus(inhibitory concentration values, IC50, ranged from 0.5 to 1.6 mmol/L), fol owed by Escherichia coli(IC500.8–1.5 mmol/L). In contrast, methicil in resistant S. aureus(IC501.2–4.7 mmol/L) was least affected and this was similar to inhibitory patterns of commercial Zn O-based NPs and Zn O. After the successful in vitro testing, the in vivo study with rats based on dietary supplementation with zinc NPs was conducted. Four groups of rats were treated by 2,000 mg Zn/kg diet of Zn A, Zn B, Zn C, and Zn D, for comparison two groups were supplemented by 2,000 mg Zn/kg diet of Zn O-N and Zn O, and one group(control) was fed only by basal diet. The significantly higher(P < 0.05) Zn level in liver and kidney of al treated groups was found, nevertheless Zn NPs did not greatly influence antioxidant status of rats. However,the total aerobic and coliform bacterial population in rat feces significantly decreased(P < 0.05) in al zinc groups after 30 d of the treatment. Furthermore, when compared to the Zn O group, Zn A and Zn C nanoparticles reduced coliforms significantly more(P < 0.05).Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that phosphate-based zinc nanoparticles have the potential to act as antibiotic agents. | Pavel Horky Sylvie Skalickova Lenka Urbankova Daria Baholet Silvia Kociova Zuzana Bytesnikova Eliska Kabourkova Zuzana Lackova Natalia Cernei Milica Gagic Vedran Milosavljevic Vendula Smolikova Eva Vaclavkova Pavel Nevrkla Pavel Knot Olga Krystofova David Hynek Pavel Kopel Jiri Skladanka Vojtech Adam Kristyna Smerkova | 2019 | Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology2019,10,2: | 1 |
| 2 | Zinc phosphate-based nanoparticles as alternatives to zinc oxide in diet of weaned piglets显示文摘Background: The high doses of zinc oxide(Zn O) administered orally to piglets for the prevention of diarrhea and increase of growth rate can contaminate pig farms and the surrounding environment. Therefore, there is a need to find a replacement of high doses of dietary Zn O with an equally effective alternative. In the present study, the effect of two formulations of zinc phosphate-based nanoparticles(Zn A and Zn C NPs) on growth performance,intestinal microbiota, antioxidant status, and intestinal and liver morphology was evaluated. A total of 100 weaned piglets were randomly divided into 10 equal groups with the base diet(control) or the base diet supplemented with Zn A, Zn C, or Zn O at concentrations 500, 1000, and 2000 mg Zn per kilogram of diet. Supplements were given to animals for 10 days. Fecal samples were collected on day 0, 5, 10 and 20. At the end of the treatment(day 10),three piglets from each group were sacrificed and analyzed.Results: Comparing to that of control, the significantly higher piglet weight gain was observed in all piglet groups fed with Zn A(P < 0.05). Differences in the total aerobic bacteria and coliform counts in piglet feces after NPs supplementation compared to that of control and Zn O groups were also found(P < 0.05). The majority of aerobic culturable bacteria from the feces represented Escherichia(28.57–47.62%), Enterococcus(3.85–35.71%), and Streptococcus(3.70–42.31%) spp. A total of 542 Escherichia coli isolates were screened for the virulence genes STa,STb, Stx2, F4, and F18. The substantial occurrence of E. coli virulence factors was found on day 5, mainly in fimbrillary antigen and thermostable toxins, except for piglets fed by Zn C. Zn treatment decreased Zn blood levels in piglets fed with Zn O and Zn A(500 mg/kg) and increased in Zn C(2000 mg/kg) compared to that of control(P < 0.05). The antioxidant status of piglets was affected only by Zn A. While some changes in the liver and the intestinal morphology of piglets with NPs were observed, none were serious as reflected by the normal health status and increased weigh gain performance.Conclusions: Our results indicate that Zn A NPs have a positive effect on the piglet growth performance even at the lowest concentration. The prevalence of E. coli virulence factors was lowest in pigs supplemented with Zn C.Zinc phosphate-based nanoparticles may be an effective alternative to Zn O. | Silvia Kociova Kristyna Dolezelikova Pavel Horky Sylvie Skalickova Daria Baholet Lucie Bozdechova Eva Vaclavkova Jaroslava Belkova Pavel Nevrkla Jiri Skladanka Tomas Do Ondrej Zitka Yazan Haddad Pavel Kopel Ludek Zurek Vojtech Adam Kristyna Smerkova | 2020 | Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology2020,11,4: | 1 |

| 4 | Unveiling the nanotoxicological aspects of Se nanomaterials differing in size and morphology显示文摘Although the general concept of nanotechnology relies on exploitation of size-dependent properties of nanoscaled materials,the relation between the size/morphology of nanoparticles with their biological activity remains not well understood.Therefore,we aimed at investigating the biological activity of Se nanoparticles,one of the most promising candidates of nanomaterials for biomedicine,possessing the same crystal structure,but differing in morphology(nanorods vs.spherical particles)and aspect ratios(AR,11.5 vs.22.3 vs.1.0)in human cells and BALB/c mice.Herein,we report that in case of nanorod-shaped Se nanomaterials,AR is a critical factor describing their cytotoxicity and biocompatibility.However,spherical nanoparticles(AR 1.0)do not fit this statement and exhibit markedly higher cytotoxicity than lower-AR Se nanorods.Beside of cytotoxicity,we also show that morphology and size substantially affect the uptake and intracellular fate of Se nanomaterials.In line with in vitro data,in vivo i.v.administration of Se nanomaterials revealed the highest toxicity for higher-AR nanorods followed by spherical nanoparticles and lower-AR nanorods.Moreover,we revealed that Se nanomaterials are able to alter intracellular redox homeostasis,and affect the acidic intracellular vesicles and cytoskeletal architecture in a size-and morphology-dependent manner.Although the tested nanoparticles were produced from the similar sources,their behavior differs markedly,since each type is promising for several various application scenarios,and the presented testing protocol could serve as a concept standardizing the biological relevance of the size and morphology of the various types of nanomaterials and nanoparticles. | Hana Stepankova Hana Michalkova Zbynek Splichal Lukas Richtera Pavel Svec Tomas Vaculovic Jan Pribyl Martin Kormunda Simona Rex Vojtech Adam Zbynek Heger | 2023 | Bioactive Materials2023,,2: | 0 |
| 5 | Remodeling of the liver fibrosis microenvironment based on nilotinib-loaded multicatalytic nanozymes with boosted antifibrogenic activity显示文摘Liver fibrosis is a reversible pathological process caused by chronic liver damage and a major risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Hepatic stellate cell(HSC)activation is considered the main target for liver fibrosis therapy.However,the efficiency of this strategy is limited due to the complex microenvironment of liver fibrosis,including excessive extracellular matrix(ECM)deposition and hypoxia-induced imbalanced ECM metabolism.Herein,nilotinib(NIL)-loaded hyaluronic acid(HA)-coated Ag@Pt nanotriangular nanozymes(APNH NTs)were developed to inhibit HSCs activation and remodel the microenvironment of liver fibrosis.APNH NTs efficiently eliminated intrahepatic reactive oxygen species(ROS)due to their inherent superoxide dismutase(SOD)and catalase(CAT)activities,thereby downregulating the expression of NADPH oxidase-4(NOX-4)and inhibiting HSCs activation.Simultaneously,the oxygen produced by the APNH NTs further alleviated the hypoxic microenvironment.Importantly,the released NIL promoted collagen depletion by suppressing the expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1(TIMP-1),thus synergistically remodeling the microenvironment of liver fibrosis.Notably,an in vivo study in CCl_(4)-induced mice revealed that APNH NTs exhibited significant antifibrogenic effects without obvious long-term toxicity.Taken together,the data from this work suggest that treatment with the synthesized APNH NTs provides an enlightening strategy for remodeling the microenvironment of liver fibrosis with boosted antifibrogenic activity. | Huaqing Jing Yingzi Ren Yue Zhou Min Xu Sona Krizkova Zbynek Heger Qiang Lu Siyu Wang Xiaoyang Liang Vojtech Adam Nan Li | 2023 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2023,13,12: | 0 |
| 6 | Enhanced macrophage polarization induced by COX-2 inhibitor-loaded Pd octahedral nanozymes for treatment of atherosclerosis显示文摘Inhibition of foam cell formation is considered a promising treatment method for atherosclerosis,the leading cause of cardiovascular diseases worldwide.However,currently available therapeutic strategies have shown unsatisfactory clinical outcomes.Thus,herein,we design aloperine(ALO)-loaded and hyaluronic acid(HA)-modified palladium(Pd)octahedral nanozymes(Pd@HA/ALO)that can synergistically scavenge reactive oxygen species(ROS)and downregulate cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2)expression to induce macrophage polarization,thus inhibiting foam cell formation to attenuate atherosclerosis.Due to the targeted effect of HA on stabilin-2 and CD44,which are overexpressed in atherosclerotic plaques,Pd@HA/ALO can actively accumulate in atherosclerotic plaques.Subsequently,the antioxidative effects of Pd octahedral nanozymes are mediated by their intrinsic superoxide dismutase-and catalase-like activities capable of effective scavenging of ROS.In addition,anti-inflammatory effects are mediated by controlled,on-demand near-infrared-triggered ALO release leading to inhibition of COX-2 expression.Importantly,the combined therapy can promote the polarization of macrophages to the M2 subtype by upregulating Arg-1 and CD206 expression and downregulating expression of TNF-α,IL-1βand IL-6,thereby inhibiting atherosclerosis-related foam cell formation.In conclusion,the presented in vitro and in vivo data demonstrate that Pd@HA/ALO enhanced macrophage polarization to reduce plaque formation,identifying an attractive treatment strategy for cardiovascular disease. | Min Xu Chuchu Ren Yue Zhou Zbynek Heger Xiaoyang Liang Vojtech Adam Nan Li | 2023 | Chinese Chemical Letters2023,34,1: | 0 |
| 7 | Nanocarrier drugs in the treatment of brain tumors显示文摘Nanoparticle-mediated targeted delivery of drugs might significantly reduce the dosage and optimize their release properties,increase specificity and bioavailability,improve shelf life,and reduce toxicity.Some nanodrugs are able to overcome the blood-brain barrier that is an obstacle to treatment of brain tumors.Vessels in tumors have abnormal architecture and are highly permeable;moreover,tumors also have poor lymphatic drainage,allowing for accumulation of macromolecules greater than approximately 40 kDa within the tumor microenvironment.Nanoparticles exploit this feature,known as the enhanced permeability and retention effect,to target solid tumors.Active targeting,i.e.surface modification of nanoparticles,is a way to decrease uptake in normal tissue and increase accumulation in a tumor,and it usually involves targeting surface membrane proteins that are upregulated in cancer cells.The targeting molecules are typically antibodies or their fragments;aptamers;oligopeptides or small molecules.There are currently several FDA-approved nanomedicines,but none approved for brain tumor therapy.This review,based both on the study of literature and on the authors own experimental work describes a comprehensive overview of preclinical and clinical research of nanodrugs in therapy of brain tumors. | Tereza Cerna Marie Stiborova Vojtech Adam Rene Kizek Tomas Eckschlager | 2016 | Journal of Cancer Metastasis and Treatment2016,2,1: | 0 |
| 8 | Parallel fluorescence and phosphorescence monitoring of singlet oxygen photosensitization in rats显示文摘The time-and spectral-resolved set-up for measurements of weak infrared luminescence of photosensitizers(PSs)and singlet oxygen using optical lightguides was used on skin of laboratory animals in vivo.Wistar rats with abdominal incisions treated by methylis aminolevulinitis(MAL)were used as a model.A control group of animals with abdominal incisions was also tested.Spectrally resolved fluorescence of the PS was acquired during the treatment from the same spot.The intensity and spectral profile of the fiuorescence signal from the skin can be used to guide the detection setup to the investigated spots in the lesion.The rate of bleaching of Protoporphyrin IX band and appearance of a band of its photoproducts during the treatment can be characterized by the exposition ED,under which the latter becomes dominant feature infiuorescence spectrum.ED value differs statistically significantly between the normal skin and the lesion treated by MAL.No direct proportionality was found between the fluorescence signal and singlet oxygen production.Nevertheless,the strong fluorescence signal is necessary but not a su±cient condition for higher singlet oxygen production in vivo.ED value correlates rather well with production of singlet oxygen,but differently in lesion and normal skin.Lifetimes of singlet oxygen differ between spots outside and in the lesion.PS triplet state lifetimes exhibit weak di®erence between spots treated and untreated by MAL. | Roman Dedic Adam Stibal Vojtech Vyklicky Miloslav Franek Antonin Svoboda Jan Hala | 2015 | Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences2015,8,6: | 0 |
