Abstract
Diffusion is one of the key nature processes which plays an important role in respiration, digestion, and nutrient transport in cells. In this regard, the present article aims to review various diffusion approaches used to fabricate different functional materials based on hydrogels, unique examples of materials that control diffusion. They have found applications in fields such as drug encapsulation and delivery, nutrient delivery in agriculture, developing materials for regenerative medicine, and creating stimuli-responsive materials in soft robotics and microrobotics. In addition, mechanisms of release and drug diffusion kinetics as key tools for material design are discussed.

Rare-earth orthovanadate nanoparticles trigger Ca 2+-dependent eryptosis. NANOTECHNOLOGY 2023; 34:205101.

Abstract
Introduction. Rare-earth orthovanadate nanoparticles (ReVO4:Eu3+, Re = Gd, Y or La) are promising agents for photodynamic therapy of cancer due to their modifiable redox properties. However, their toxicity limits their application.Objective. The aim of this research was to elucidate pro-eryptotic effects of GdVO4:Eu3+and LaVO4:Eu3+nanoparticles with identification of underlying mechanisms of eryptosis induction and to determine their pharmacological potential in eryptosis-related diseases.Methods. Blood samples (n= 9) were incubated for 24 h with 0-10-20-40-80 mg l-1GdVO4:Eu3+or LaVO4:Eu3+nanoparticles, washed and used to prepare erythrocyte suspensions to analyze the cell membrane scrambling (annexin-V-FITC staining), cell shrinkage (forward scatter signaling), reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation through 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (H2DCFDA) staining and intracellular Ca2+levels via FLUO4 AM staining by flow cytometry. Internalization of europium-enabled luminescent GdVO4:Eu3+and LaVO4:Eu3+nanoparticles was assessed by confocal laser scanning microscopy.Results.Both nanoparticles triggered eryptosis at concentrations of 80 mg l-1. ROS-mediated mechanisms were not involved in rare-earth orthovanadate nanoparticles-induced eryptosis. Elevated cytosolic Ca2+concentrations were revealed even at subtoxic concentrations of nanoparticles. LaVO4:Eu3+nanoparticles increased intracellular calcium levels in a more pronounced way compared with GdVO4:Eu3+nanoparticles. Our data disclose that the small-sized (15 nm) GdVO4:Eu3+nanoparticles were internalized after a 24 h incubation, while the large-sized (∼30 nm) LaVO4:Eu3+nanoparticles were localized preferentially around erythrocytes.Conclusions.Both internalized GdVO4:Eu3+and non-internalized LaVO4:Eu3+nanoparticles (80 mg l-1) promote eryptosis of erythrocytes after a 24 h exposurein vitrovia Ca2+signaling without involvement of oxidative stress. Eryptosis is a promising model for assessing nanotoxicity.

Multi-Phase In Silico Discovery of Potential SARS-CoV-2 RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase Inhibitors among 3009 Clinical and FDA-Approved Related Drugs. Processes (Basel) 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/pr10030530] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Proceeding our prior studies of SARS-CoV-2, the inhibitory potential against SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) has been investigated for a collection of 3009 clinical and FDA-approved drugs. A multi-phase in silico approach has been employed in this study. Initially, a molecular fingerprint experiment of Remdesivir (RTP), the co-crystallized ligand of the examined protein, revealed the most similar 150 compounds. Among them, 30 compounds were selected after a structure similarity experiment. Subsequently, the most similar 30 compounds were docked against SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (PDB ID: 7BV2). Aloin 359, Baicalin 456, Cefadroxil 1273, Sophoricoside 1459, Hyperoside 2109, and Vitexin 2286 exhibited the most precise binding modes, as well as the best binding energies. To confirm the obtained results, MD simulations experiments have been conducted for Hyperoside 2109, the natural flavonoid glycoside that exhibited the best docking scores, against RdRp (PDB ID: 7BV2) for 100 ns. The achieved results authenticated the correct binding of 2109, showing low energy and optimum dynamics. Our team presents these outcomes for scientists all over the world to advance in vitro and in vivo examinations against COVID-19 for the promising compounds.
