CPNPS synthesis is an important engine in biomedical research with a scalable scale and desired functionality. Although these props are focused largely on synthetic methods, the advancement accomplished in this area has reported a direct influence on morphology and biomedical characteristics of synthesis and surface modifiers. Sensing is a significant use of nanomaterial in consideration of small dimensions and their peculiar physicochemical characteristics, but the trend has changed over the last few years towards the "teranotic" combination on a single platform of sensing and therapeutic properties. CPNPSs have been used successfully in vivo and in vitro for identification and targeting, but before commercial implementation, several primary obstacles remain.

Background: Cancer is defined as an abnormal/uncontrolled cell growth that shows rapid cell division. This disease is annually recognized in more than ten million people. Nanomaterials can be used as new strategies for cancer therapy. Nanostructured devices have developed for drug delivery and controlled release and created novel anticancer chemotherapies. Nanomaterials were taken into consideration because of their new properties, containing a large specific surface area and high reactivity. Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) have potential applications in many fields like heterogeneous catalysis, antibacterial, anticancer, antioxidant, antifungal, antiviral, imaging agents, and drug delivery agents in biomedicine. CuONPs display different physical properties, such as hightemperature superconductivity, electron correlation effects, and spin dynamics. NPs can be synthesized using different methods like physical, chemical, and biological methods. Methods: Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) have been suggested for its broad usage in biomedical applications. In this review, we tried to exhibit the results of significant anticancer activity of green synthesized CuONPs and their characterization by different analytical techniques such as UV-Vis, FT-IR, XRD, EDAX, DLS, SEM, and TEM. Results: The green method for the synthesis of CuO nanoparticles as eco-friendly, cost-effective, and facile method is the more effective method. Synthesized CuONPs from this method have an appropriate size and shape. The Green synthesized CuONPs exhibited high potential against several breast cancer (AMJ-13, MCF-7, and HBL-100 cell lines), cervical cancer (HeLa), colon cancer (HCT-116), gastric cancer (human adenocarcinoma AGS cell line), lung cancer (A549), leukemia cancer, and other cancers with the main toxicity approach of increasing ROS production. Conclusion: The present review confirms the importance of green synthesized CuO nanoparticles in medical science especially cancer therapy that exhibited high activity against different cancer in both in vitro and in vivo. The main toxicity approach of CuONPs is increasing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). It needs to perform more studies about in vivo cancer therapy and following clinical trial testing in the future. We believe that green synthesized CuO nanoparticles can be used for the improvement of different diseases.

Due to cytotoxic potential, Copper Oxide Nanoparticles (CuO NPs) have recently been studied in various in vivo and in culture cell line. Also, CuO has received much attention in cancer therapy. We aimed to evaluate the cytotoxicity of CuO NPs on glial cancer (B92) cell line. B92 cancer cells were cultured with CuO NPs at different concentrations (5, 10, and 20 μg/ml) with 30 and 60 nm particle size. Then, cancer cells were incubated for 24 hrs. The apoptosis and cytotoxicity of cells were estimated by acridine orange/propidium iodide staining and MTT assay, respectively. Both sizes of CuO NPs had cytotoxic effect. Even with the lowest concentration, the cytotoxic impact accommodated 32% of cell apoptosis with 30 nm size. When the concentration of CuO NPs increased, viability decreased and apoptosis increased. However, these amounts have no significant changes in the concentration of 10 to 20 μg/ml between two particle sizes (30 and 60 nm). The IC50 was decreased as the size of particles increased, but there was no significant change. This finding suggests that exposure to CuO NPs had significant cytotoxic effect with the sizes tested when compared to unexposed control in a way that the smaller size and higher concentration exerted the maximum cytotoxic effects. It seems that augmentation may not have any impact on their in vitro cytotoxicity.Dhaka Univ. J. Pharm. Sci. 17(1): 105-111, 2018 (June)

The current study focusses on the optimization of Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) biosynthesis with Alternanthera sessilis (L.) extract using response surface methodology (RSM). The effect of time, pH, and extract to metal concentration ratio on the yield of synthesized nanoparticles (NPs) were estimated using Box–Behnken design. The influence of each of the parameters, as mentioned earlier, was determined by synthesizing nanoparticles under different conditions. A total of 29 experimental runs were carried out to estimate the crucial parameters. Extract to the metal ratio was found to be the vital parameter for yield optimization based on the p-values (p-value < 0.05). The physicochemical property of NPs, like size, was estimated to be in the range of 10-20 nm. In zebrafish, 48 hpf and 72 hpf were measured at 90 µM to reduce dysfunction and mortality during organ development. These results can have a valuable impact on eco-toxicological effects.

AbstractCopper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) are one of the widely used metal nanoparticles in the industrial and commercial fields. Autophagy is an intracellular degradation system that delivers cytoplasmic constituents to the lysosome and has been linked to nanoparticles-induced toxicity. In particular, the roles of autophagy in response to CuONPs have been explored in vitro, although the conclusions are controversial. To clarify the role of autophagy in CuONPs-induced acute lung injury, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta (Map1lc3b or lc3b) knockout mice and their corresponding wild type mice are applied. Our results showed that single-dose intratracheal instillation of CuONPs with dosages of 1.25, 2.5 or 5 mg/kg caused acute lung injury 3 days after treatment in a dose-dependent manner, as evidenced by deteriorative lung histopathology, more infiltration of macrophage cells, increased oxidative stress and copper ions. Loss of lc3b resulted in aggravated lung injury induced by CuONPs, which was probably due to the blockade of mitophagy and consequently the accumulation of aberrant mitochondria with overloaded copper ions. Our study provides the first in vivo evidence that autophagy deficiency exacerbates CuONPs-induced acute lung injury, and highlights that targeting autophagy is a meaningful strategy against CuONPs-associated respiratory toxicity.

Emerging evidence present credible support in favour of the potential role of mahanine and girinimbine. Non-toxic herbal carbazole alkaloids occur in the edible part of Murraya koenigii, Micromelum minutum, M. zeylanicum, and M. euchrestiolia. Mahanine and girinimbine are the major potent compounds from these species. In fact, they interfered with tumour expansion and metastasis development through down-regulation of apoptotic and antiapoptotic protein, also involved in the stimulation of cell cycle arrest. Consequently, these compounds were well proven for the in-vitro and in vivo evaluation that could be developed as novel agents either alone or as an adjuvant to conventional therapeutics. Therefore, mahanine and girinimbine analogs have the potential to be the promising chemopreventive agents for the tumour recurrence and the treatment of human malignancies. In this review, an updated wide-range of pleiotropic anticancer and biological effects induction by mahanine and girinimbine against cancer cells were deeply summarized.

AbstractEarly innate education of hematopoietic progenitors within the bone marrow (BM) stably primes them for either trained immunity or instead immunoregulatory functions. We herein demonstrate that in vivo or in vitro activation within the BM via Toll-like receptor-9 generates a population of plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) precursors (CpG-pre-pDCs) that, unlike pDC precursors isolated from PBS-incubated BM (PBS-pre-pDCs), are endowed with the capacity to halt progression of ongoing experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. CpG activation enhances the selective migration of pDC precursors to the inflamed spinal cord, induces their immediate production of TGF-β, and after migration, of enhanced levels of IL-27. CpG-pre-pDC derived TGF-β and IL-27 ensure protection at early and late phases of the disease, respectively. Spinal cords of CpG-pre-pDC-protected recipient mice display enhanced percentages of host-derived pDCs expressing TGF-β as well as an accumulation of IL-10 producing B cells and of CD11c+ CD11b+ dendritic cells. These results reveal that pDC precursors are conferred stable therapeutic properties by early innate activation within the BM. They further extend to the pDC lineage promising perspectives for cell therapy of autoimmune diseases with innate activated hematopoietic precursor cells.
