Nanoparticles such as Fe, FeO, CuO, Zn, ZnO, and Se play an important role in aquaculture. These compounds are essential minerals to increase fish growth and supplemen-tation in feeds because practical feedstuffs contain low levels of these microminerals. Dietary supplementation of nanoparticles produces greater survival, growth, antioxidant levels and immunity of aquatic organisms including fishes. The present study deals with the impact of different quantity of green synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles on growth, enzymatic, biochemical changes, and hematology of Zebrafish Danio rerio. Anisomeles malabarica leaf extract was used for the synthesis of iron oxide nano-particles and characterized by XRD, SEM, EDAX, and FT-IR. Six feeds were prepared with different quantity of synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles (F1 - Control, F2 -10 mg, F3 – 20mg, F4 – 30mg and F5 – 50mg) and feed ingredients are fish meal, groundnut oilcake, wheat flour, and tapioca flour. Growth, digestive enzymes (protease, amylase, and lipase), biochemical constituents (total protein, carbohydrate and lipid) and hematological parameters were estimated after 30 days. ‘t’ test and One-way ANOVA was used for the analysis. The feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency, weight gain, percentage growth, relative growth rate, assimilation, metabolism, gross and net growth efficiency were higher in F5 containing 40mg of green synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles (1.98 ± 0.29, 0.19 ± 0.02, 0.85 ± 0.32, 2.88 ± 0.74, 2.21 ± 0.70, 1.61 ± 0.11, 44.31 ± 10.58 and 42.11 ± 9.46). 40mg of iron oxide nanoparticles supplemented feed enhanced the digestive enzymes and biochemical constituents of Zebrafish. The results conclude that 40 mg iron oxide nanoparticles supplemented feed enhanced the growth, digestive enzymes, biochemical constituents, and hematology of Zebrafish.

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) represent an attractive trend as specific targeting molecules but sustain poor cellular uptake meanwhile superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) offer stability of ASO and improved cellular uptake. In the present work we aimed to functionalize SPIONs with ASO targeting the mRNA of Cyclin B1 which represents a potential cancer target and to explore its anticancer activity. For that purpose, four different SPIONs-ASO conjugates, S-M (1–4), were designated depending on the sequence of ASO and constructed by crosslinking carboxylated SPIONs to amino labeled ASO. The impact of S-M (1–4) on the level of Cyclin B1, cell cycle, ROS and viability of the cells were assessed by flowcytometry. The results showed that S-M3 and S-M4 reduced the level of Cyclin B1 by 35 and 36%, respectively. As a consequence to downregulation of Cyclin B1, MCF7 cells were shown to be arrested at G2/M phase (60.7%). S-M (1–4) led to the induction of ROS formation in comparison to the untreated control cells. Furthermore, S-M (1–4) resulted in an increase in dead cells compared to the untreated cells and SPIONs-treated cells. In conclusion, targeting Cyclin B1 with ASO-coated SPIONs may represent a specific biocompatible anticancer strategy.

The Ferrozinen assay is applied as an accurate and rapid method to quantify the iron content of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) and can be used in biological matrices. The addition of ascorbic aqcid accelerates the digestion process and can penetrate an IONP core within a mesoporous and solid silica shell. This new digestion protocol avoids the need for hydrofluoric acid to digest the surrounding silica shell and provides and accessible alternative to inductively coupled plasma methods. With the updated digestion protocol, the quantitative range of the Ferrozine assay is 1 - 14 ppm. <br>
