Exogenous Fe²⁺ alleviated the toxicity of CuO nanoparticles on Pseudomonas tolaasii Y-11 under different nitrogen sources.

ABSTRACT: Extensive use of CuO nanoparticles (CuO-NPs ) inevitably leads to their accumulation in wastewater and toxicity to microorganisms that effectively treat nitrogen pollution. Due to the effects of different mediums, the sources of CuO-NPs-induced toxicity to microorganisms and methods to mitigating the toxicity are still unclear. In this study, CuO-NPs were found to impact the nitrate reduction of Pseudomonas tolaasii Y-11 mainly through the action of NPs themselves while inhibiting the ammonium transformation of strain Y-11 through releasing Cu²⁺. As the content of CuO-NPs increased from 0 to 20 mg/L, the removal efficiency of NO₃ ^- and NH₄ ⁺ decreased from 42.29% and 29.83% to 2.05% and 2.33%, respectively. Exogenous Fe²⁺ significantly promoted the aggregation of CuO-NPs, reduced the possibility of contact with bacteria, and slowed down the damage of CuO-NPs to strain Y-11. When 0.01 mol/L Fe²⁺ was added to 0, 1, 5, 10 and 20 mg/L CuO-NPs treatment, the removal efficiencies of NO₃ ^- were 69.77%, 88.93%, 80.51%, 36.17% and 2.47%, respectively; the removal efficiencies of NH₄ ⁺ were 55.95%, 96.71%, 38.11%, 20.71% and 7.43%, respectively. This study provides a method for mitigating the toxicity of CuO-NPs on functional microorganisms.

Project description:The wide variation of nanomaterial (NM) characters (size, shape, and properties) and the related impacts on living organisms make it virtually impossible to assess their safety; the need for modeling has been urged for long. We here investigate the custom-designed 1-10% Fe-doped CuO NM library. Effects were assessed using the soil ecotoxicology model Enchytraeus crypticus (Oligochaeta) in the standard 21 days plus its extension (49 days). Results showed that 10%Fe-CuO was the most toxic (21 days reproduction EC50 = 650 mg NM/kg soil) and Fe3O4 NM was the least toxic (no effects up to 3200 mg NM/kg soil). All other NMs caused similar effects to E. crypticus (21 days reproduction EC50 ranging from 875 to 1923 mg NM/kg soil, with overlapping confidence intervals). Aiming to identify the key NM characteristics responsible for the toxicity, machine learning (ML) modeling was used to analyze the large data set [9 NMs, 68 descriptors, 6 concentrations, 2 exposure times (21 and 49 days), 2 endpoints (survival and reproduction)]. ML allowed us to separate experimental related parameters (e.g., zeta potential) from particle-specific descriptors (e.g., force vectors) for the best identification of important descriptors. We observed that concentration-dependent descriptors (environmental parameters, e.g., zeta potential) were the most important under standard test duration (21 day) but not for longer exposure (closer representation of real-world conditions). In the longer exposure (49 days), the particle-specific descriptors were more important than the concentration-dependent parameters. The longer-term exposure showed that the steepness of the concentration-response decreased with an increased Fe content in the NMs. Longer-term exposure should be a requirement in the hazard assessment of NMs in addition to the standard in OECD guidelines for chemicals. The progress toward ML analysis is desirable given its need for such large data sets and significant power to link NM descriptors to effects in animals. This is beyond the current univariate and concentration-response modeling analysis.

Project description:PurposeIn preclinical studies with rodent models of inflammatory diseases, [11C]CS1P1 has been identified as a promising imaging agent targeting sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P1) in the central nervous system and other tissues. In preparation for USA Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of [11C]CS1P1 for human use, an acute biodistribution study in mice and an acute tolerability and toxicity evaluation in rats were conducted.ProceduresAcute organ biodistribution and excretion data was obtained using male and female Swiss Webster mice intravenously (IV) injected with 4.8-10 MBq of [11C]CS1P1. The organ residence times for each harvested organ were calculated using the animal biodistribution data, and were entered in the program OLINDA/EXM for C-11 to obtain human radiation dosimetry estimates. Acute tolerability and toxicity studies were conducted in male and female Sprague Dawley rats. Rats were administered an IV bolus of either the vehicle control or 0.3 mg/kg CS1P1. Blood samples were collected and a gross post-mortem examination was conducted at day 2 or day 15 post-injection.ResultsThe extrapolated human radiation dose estimates revealed that the highest organ dose was received by the liver with 24.05 μGy/MBq in males and 32.70 μGy/MBq in females. The effective dose (ED) estimates of [11C]CS1P1 were calculated at 3.5 μSv/MBq in males and 5.9 μSv/MBq in females. The acute tolerability and toxicity study identified 0.3 mg/kg as a no observable adverse effect level (NOAEL) dose, which is a ~ 300-fold dose multiple of the human equivalent dose of the mass to be injected for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging studies in humans as a no-observable-effect limit.ConclusionsThe toxicity study in rats suggested that injection dose of radiotracer [11C]CS1P1 with mass amount < 10 μg is safe for performing a human PET study. The dosimetry data supported an injection of 0.74 GBq (20 mCi) dose for human studies would be acceptable.
