Abstract
Nickel (Ni) nanoparticles (NPs) are used as technological aids-catalysts in the oil and fat industry, in pharmaceuticals, and in the production of cosmetics and pesticides. The acute and subchronic oral toxicity of metallic Ni in the nanoform is not well understood. The study aimed to investigate the acute and subchronic oral toxicity of Ni NPs to rats. We used two NP preparations (Ni NP1 and Ni NP2) with spherical particles and an average diameter of 53.7 and 70.9 nm according to the electron microscopy data. In the study of acute toxicity, both kinds of Ni NPs were administered to male and female Wistar rats aged 8 weeks as a single dose of 2000 mg/kg b.w. through a gastric gavage. In the subchronic experiment, male Wistar rats initially aged 7 weeks received for 92 days Ni NP1 and Ni NP2 as well as the "traditional" soluble salt form of Ni (Ni basic carbonate) at doses of 0.1, 1, and 10 mg/kg body weight (mg/kg b.w.) in terms of Ni content as a part of the diet consumed. As a result, in an acute study, the oral LD50 for Ni NP2 in male and female rats was about 1600 mg/kg b.w. (IV hazard class). The oral dose of Ni NP1 equal to 2000 mg/kg b.w. exceeded LD100 for males and corresponded to LD90 for females. In the subchronic study, the bioaccumulation of both Ni NPs as well as Ni salt was observed in the kidney but not in the liver and spleen. Ni NP1 decreased body weight only at a dose of 1 mg/kg b.w.; affected the relative weight of the spleen at 0.1 mg/kg, the brain at 1.0 mg/kg, and the thymus at 10 mg/kg; and decreased locomotor activity at 0.1 and 10 mg/kg. Thus, for Ni NP1, in such cases where a monotonic dose-response relationship could be traced, LOEL could be stated at 10 mg/kg b.w./day for 92 days of oral intake. However, for some endpoints where such a monotonic relationship could be absent, significant toxic effects were observed even at a dose 0.1 mg/kg. In the case of Ni NP2, changes in the relative weight of the liver, thymus, and brain were recorded starting from 0.1 mg/kg b.w.; locomotor activity decreased starting from 0.1 mg/kg. Other effects, including basophiles count and platelet system indexes, were observed at a dose of 1 mg/kg or higher. Thus, the LOEL value for Ni NP2 can be fixed at 0.1 mg/kg. The critical organs affected by both Ni NPs were the brain and immune system. Most of the toxic effects exhibited by metallic Ni NPs were absent or had an opposite orientation upon administration of equivalent doses of Ni in the salt form which indicates the signs of "nanotoxicity" in metallic Ni NPs. In conclusion, the data obtained show that there may be some additional health risks caused by the intake of Ni in a nanoform compared to soluble ionized forms of this element at equivalent doses.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is known as one of the most common forms of dementia, and oligomerization of amyloid β (Aβ42) peptides can result in the onset of AD. Tin oxide nanoparticles (SnO2 NPs) showed several applications in biomedical fields can trigger unwanted interaction with proteins and inducing protein aggregation. Herein, we synthesized SnO2 NPs via the hydrothermal method and characterized by UV-visible, XRD, FTIR, TEM, and DLS techniques. Afterward, the formation of Aβ42 amyloid oligomers/protofibrils treated alone and with SnO2 NPs was explored by ThT and Nile red fluorescence and CD spectroscopic methods along with TEM imaging. The neurotoxicity of different spices of Aβ42 samples against PC-12 cells was then explored by MTT and caspase-3 activity assays. The characterization of SnO2 NPs confirmed the successful synthesis of crystalline NPs (20-30 nm). Different biophysical and cellular analyses indicated that SnO2 NPs accelerated Aβ42 fibrillogenesis and promoted amyloid oligomers/protofibrils cytotoxicity. As compared to the Aβ42 samples grown alone, the ThT and ANS fluorescence intensity along with ellipticity results indicated the promotory effect of SnO2 NPs on the formation of oligomers/protofibrils. Also, the cellular results showed that the treated Aβ42 samples with SnO2 NPs further reduced cell viability through activation of caspase-3. In conclusion, SnO2 NPs greatly accelerate the fibrillation of Aβ42 peptides and lead to the formation of more toxic species. The present data may offer further warrants into nano-based systems for biomedical applications in the central nervous system.

Abstract
There are several studies reporting that different plant-based metabolites are potential inhibitors of protein amyloid fibrillation. As chemical features of metabolites can regulate protein aggregation process, in the present in vitro investigation, tau protein was selected as a model of Alzheimer's disease to elaborate the inhibitory effect of syringic acid (SA) on its assembly and associated neurotoxicity in aggregation conditions. Extrinsic fluorescence, Congo red adsorption, and CD spectroscopic studies, TEM, size-exclusion chromatography, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry analysis along with MTT and qRT-PCR assays were performed to assess the inhibitory effects of SA against tau aggregation and neurotoxicity. It was shown that SA has the tendency to control the aggregation of the tau proteins through modulating the amyloid kinetic parameters, exposure of hydrophobic residues, and structural changes. Moreover, the structures formed in the presence of SA recovered the viability of neuron-like cells (SH-SY5Y) through regulation of endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling pathway by downregulation of ATF-6, caspase-8 and caspase-3 mRNA. In conclusion, it can be suggested that SA may be used as a potential small molecule in the development of therapeutic platforms against Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) have received great interests in medical and biotechnological applications. However, their adverse impacts against biological systems have not been well-explored. Herein, the influence of NiO NPs on structural changes, heme degradation and aggregation of hemoglobin (Hb) was evaluated by UV-visible (Vis) spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and molecular modeling investigations. Also, the morphological changes and expression of Bax/Bcl-2 mRNA in human lymphocyte cell exposed to NiO NPs were assayed by DAPI staining and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), respectively. The UV-Vis study depicted that NiO NPs resulted in the displacement of aromatic residues and heme groups and production of the pro-aggregatory species. Intrinsic and Thioflavin T (ThT) fluorescence studies revealed that NiO NPs resulted in heme degradation and amorphous aggregation of Hb, respectively, which the latter result was also confirmed by TEM study. Moreover, far UV-CD study depicted that NiO NPs lead to substantial secondary structural changes of Hb. Furthermore, near UV-CD displayed that NiO NPs cause quaternary conformational changes of Hb as well as heme displacement. Molecular modelling study also approved that NiO NPs resulted in structural alterations of Hb and heme deformation. Moreover, morphological and genotoxicity assays revealed that the DNA fragmentation and expression ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 mRNA increased in lymphocyte cells treated with NiO NPs for 24 hr. In conclusion, this study indicates that NiO NPs may affect the biological media and their applications should be limited.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Redox-active, strongly magnetic, combustion and friction-derived nanoparticles (CFDNPs) are abundant in particulate matter air pollution. Urban children and young adults with Alzheimer disease Continuum have higher numbers of brain CFDNPs versus clean air controls. CFDNPs surface charge, dynamic magnetic susceptibility, iron content and redox activity contribute to ROS generation, neurovascular unit (NVU), mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) damage, and are catalysts for protein misfolding, aggregation and fibrillation. CFDNPs respond to external magnetic fields and are involved in cell damage by agglomeration/clustering, magnetic rotation and/or hyperthermia. This review focus in the interaction of CFDNPs, nanomedicine and industrial NPs with biological systems and the impact of portals of entry, particle sizes, surface charge, biomolecular corona, biodistribution, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular toxicity, anterograde and retrograde axonal transport, brain dysfunction and pathology. NPs toxicity information come from researchers synthetizing particles and improving their performance for drug delivery, drug targeting, magnetic resonance imaging and heat mediators for cancer therapy. Critical information includes how these NPs overcome all barriers, the NPs protein corona changes as they cross the NVU and the complexity of NPs interaction with soluble proteins and key organelles. Oxidative, ER and mitochondrial stress, and a faulty complex protein quality control are at the core of Alzheimer and Parkinson's diseases and NPs mechanisms of action and toxicity are strong candidates for early development and progression of both fatal diseases. Nanoparticle exposure regardless of sources carries a high risk for the developing brain homeostasis and ought to be included in the AD and PD research framework.
