Albumin binding, anticancer and antibacterial properties of synthesized zero valent iron nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Background:Nanoparticles (NPs) have been emerging as potential players in modern medicine with clinical applications ranging from therapeutic purposes to antimicrobial agents. However, before applications in medical agents, some in vitro studies should be done to explore their biological responses. Aim:In this study, protein binding, anticancer and antibacterial activates of zero valent iron (ZVFe) were explored. Materials and methods:ZVFe nanoparticles were synthesized and fully characterized by X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscope, and dynamic light scattering analyses. Afterward, the interaction of ZVFe NPs with human serum albumin (HSA) was examined using a range of techniques including intrinsic fluorescence, circular dichroism, and UV-visible spectroscopic methods. Molecular docking study was run to determine the kind of interaction between ZVFe NPs and HSA. The anticancer influence of ZVFe NPs on SH-SY5Y was examined by MTT and flow cytometry analysis, whereas human white blood cells were used as the control cell. Also, the antibacterial effect of ZVFe NPs was examined on Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923). Results:X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope, and dynamic light scattering analyses verified the synthesis of ZVFe NPs in a nanosized diameter. Fluorescence spectroscopy analysis showed that ZVFe NPs spontaneously formed a complex with HSA through hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions. Also, circular dichroism spectroscopy study revealed that ZVFe NPs did not change the secondary structure of HSA. Moreover, UV-visible data presented that melting temperature (Tm) of HSA in the absence and presence of ZVFe NPs was almost identical. Molecular dynamic study also showed that ZVFe NP came into contact with polar residues on the surface of HSA molecule. Cellular assays showed that ZVFe NPs can induce cell mortality in a dose-dependent manner against SH-SY5Y cells, whereas these NPs did not trigger significant cell mortality against normal white bloods in the concentration range studied (1-100 µg/mL). Antibacterial assays showed a noteworthy inhibition on both bacterial strains. Conclusion:In conclusion, it was revealed that ZVFe NPs did not induce a substantial influence on the structure of protein and cytotoxicity against normal cell, whereas they derived significant anticancer and antibacterial effects.

Project description:Toxic and persistent contaminants in groundwater are technologically difficult to remediate. Remediation techniques using nanoparticles (NPs) such as nZVI (Zero-Valent Iron) are applicable as in situ reduction or oxidation agents and give promising results for groundwater treatment. However, these NP may also represent an additional contamination in groundwater. The aims of this study are to assess the impact of nZVI on the nitrate-reducing potential, the abundance and the structure of a planktonic nitrate-reducing bacterial community sampled in groundwater from a multicontaminated site. An active nitrate-reducing bacterial community was obtained from groundwater samples, and inoculated into batch reactors containing a carbon substrate, nitrate and a range of nZVI concentrations (from 0 to 70.1 mg Fe.L-1). Physical (pH, redox potential), chemical ( NO3- concentrations) and biological (DNA, RNA) parameters were monitored during 1 week, as well as nZVI size distribution and mortality of bacteria. Nitrate-reducing activity was temporally stopped in the presence of nZVI at concentrations higher than 30 mg L-1, and bacterial molecular parameters all decreased before resuming to initial values 48 h after nZVI addition. Bacterial community composition was also modified in all cultures exposed to nZVI as shown by CE-SSCP fingerprints. Surprisingly, it appeared overall that bacteria viability was lower for lower nZVI concentrations. This is possibly due to the presence of larger, less reactive NP aggregates for higher nZVI concentrations, which inhibit bacterial activity but could limit cell mortality. After 1 week, the bacterial cultures were transplanted into fresh media without nZVI, to assess their resilience in terms of activity. A lag-phase, corresponding to an adaptation phase of the community, was observed during this step before nitrate reduction reiterated, demonstrating the community's resilience. The induction by nZVI of modifications in the bacterial community composition and thus in its metabolic potentials, if also occurring on site, could affect groundwater functioning on the long term following nZVI application. Further work dedicated to the study of nZVI impact on bacterial community directly on site is needed to assess a potential impact on groundwater functioning following nZVI application.
