Insights into the physico-chemical and biological characterization of sodium lignosulfonate - silver nanosystems designed for wound management. Heliyon 2024; 10:e26047. [PMID: 38384565 PMCID: PMC10878957 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e26047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Chronic wounds represent one of the complications that might occur from the disruption of wound healing process. Recently, there has been a rise in interest in employing nanotechnology to develop novel strategies for accelerating wound healing. The aim of the present study was to use a green synthesis method to obtain AgNPs/NaLS systems useful for wounds management and perform an in-depth investigation of their behavior during and post-synthesis as well as of their biological properties. The colloids obtained from silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and commercial sodium lignosulfonate (NaLS) in a single-pot aqueous procedure have been fully characterized by UV-Vis, FT-IR, DLS, TEM, XRD, and XPS to evaluate the synthesis efficiency and to provide new insights in the process of AgNPs formation and NaLS behavior in aqueous solutions. The effects of various concentrations of NaLS (0-16 mg/mL) and AgNO3 (0-20 mM) and of two different temperatures on AgNPs formation have been analyzed. Although the room temperature is feasible for AgNPs synthesis, the short mixing at 70 °C significantly increases the speed of nanoparticle formation and storage stability. In all experimental conditions AgNPs of 20-40 nm in size have been obtained. The antimicrobial activity assessed quantitatively on clinical and reference bacterial strains, both in suspension and biofilm growth state, revealed a broad antimicrobial spectrum, the most intensive inhibitory effect being noticed against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli strains. The AgNP/NaLS enhanced the NO extracellular release, potentially contributing to the microbicidal and anti-adherence activity by protein oxidation. Both AgNP/NaLS and NaLS were non-hemolytic (hemolytic index<5%, 2.26 ± 0.13% hemolysis) and biocompatible (102.17 ± 3.43 % HaCaT cells viability). The presence of AgNPs increased the antioxidative activity and induced a significant cytotoxicity on non-melanoma skin cancer cells (62.86 ± 8.27% Cal-27 cells viability). Taken together, all these features suggest the multivalent potential of these colloids for the development of novel strategies for wound management, acting by preventing infection-associated complications and supporting the tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Oral exposure is known as the primary way for silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), which are commonly used as food additives or antibacterial agents in commercial products, to enter the human body. Although the health risk of AgNPs has been a concern and extensively researched over the past few decades, there are still numerous knowledge gaps that need to be filled to disclose what AgNPs experience in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and how they cause oral toxicity. In order to gain more insight into the fate of AgNPs in the GIT, the main gastrointestinal transformation of AgNPs, including aggregation/disaggregation, oxidative dissolution, chlorination, sulfuration, and corona formation, is first described. Second, the intestinal absorption of AgNPs is presented to show how AgNPs interact with epithelial cells and cross the intestinal barrier. Then, more importantly, we make an overview of the mechanisms underlying the oral toxicity of AgNPs in light of recent advances as well as the factors affecting the nano-bio interactions in the GIT, which have rarely been thoroughly elaborated in published literature. At last, we emphatically discuss the issues that need to be addressed in the future to answer the question "How does oral exposure to AgNPs cause detrimental effects on the human body?".

Abstract
Biological barriers are essential physiological protective systems and obstacles to drug delivery. Nanoparticles (NPs) can access the paracellular route of biological barriers, either causing adverse health impacts on humans or producing therapeutic opportunities. This Review introduces the structural and functional influences of NPs on the key components that govern the paracellular route, mainly tight junctions, adherens junctions, and cytoskeletons. Furthermore, we evaluate their interaction mechanisms and address the influencing factors that determine the ability of NPs to open the paracellular route, which provides a better knowledge of how NPs can open the paracellular route in a safer and more controllable way. Finally, we summarize limitations in the research models and methodologies of the existing research in the field and provide future research direction. This Review demonstrates the in-depth causes for the reversible opening or destruction of the integrity of barriers generated by NPs; more importantly, it contributes insights into the design of NP-based medications to boost paracellular drug delivery efficiency.

Abstract
A clearer picture of interactions between differently coated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and biological interfaces that are confronted with by the dermal exposure route is of utmost importance for the risk assessment of various AgNPs-based formulations utilized in the medical and dermocosmetic fields. This work sought to understand how surface modification of AgNPs, especially those produced by green synthesis strategy, affects the surface chemistry and dermocompatibility. Phytosynthetized AgNPs diverse in bio-reducing/capping agents i.e. chlorogenic acid, glycyrrhizic acid and gallic acid, were prepared by a bioinspired green approach and characterized in terms of size, shape, crystal phase, surface charge, structure and antioxidant activity. Chemically synthetized AgNPs stabilized by trisodium citrate or polyvinylpyrrolidone were also analyzed for comparison. The biological test results illustrate that varying coating material for AgNP stabilization results in differential toxicity against dermal microbes and HaCaT keratinocytes in vitro and affects dermal absorption through intact/compromised skin in vivo. Among all test samples, the citrate-stabilized AgNPs displayed the maximum cytotoxicity and dermal absorption. It is also of interest to note that the phytosynthetized AgNPs with chlorogenic acid exhibited superior antioxidant activity, attenuated cytotoxicity and minimal skin deposition, while those modified with glycyrrhizic acid demonstrated a preferentially antibacterial activity against the pathogenic (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) over the beneficial strains (Staphylococcus epidermidis) inhabiting human skin. Furthermore, percutaneous absorption of AgNPs into live epidermis was observed on all 7-13 nm sized AgNPs, irrespective of surface coating, with more pronounced skin deposition of silver species occurring for the chemically-synthetized AgNPs within compromised skin. Given all these results, it is concluded that surface modification with particular phytochemicals may render AgNPs with enhanced dermocompatibility or antimicrobial activity. This study provides a basis for risk assessments of phytosynthetized AgNPs in consumer products and suggests the possibility of tailoring AgNPs applicability via green chemistry approach.

Abstract
Skin is the external part of the human body; thus, it is exposed to outer stimuli leading to injuries and damage, due to being the tissue mostly affected by wounds and aging that compromise its protective function. The recent extension of the average lifespan raises the interest in products capable of counteracting skin related health conditions. However, the skin barrier is not easy to permeate and could be influenced by different factors. In the last decades an innovative pharmacotherapeutic approach has been possible thanks to the advent of nanomedicine. Nanodevices can represent an appropriate formulation to enhance the passive penetration, modulate drug solubility and increase the thermodynamic activity of drugs. Here, we summarize the recent nanotechnological approaches to maintain and replace skin homeostasis, with particular attention to nanomaterials applications on wound healing, regeneration and rejuvenation of skin tissue. The different nanomaterials as nanofibers, hydrogels, nanosuspensions, and nanoparticles are described and in particular we highlight their main chemical features that are useful in drug delivery and tissue regeneration.
