These infections cause rapid severe corneal ulcers. Traditional antibiotics face challenges due to bacterial resistance. We investigated new therapies by designing nanomaterials. In\u0000 an animal model of diabetic keratitis, we studied the materials’ antibacterial properties and mechanisms. In vitro, nanomaterials displayed strong antibacterial effects, confirmed by quantitative analysis. In vivo, using thermal imaging, wound closure monitoring, clinical\u0000 scores, and histopathology, we demonstrated nanomaterials’ efficacy against infections. Toxicity evaluations, including weight monitoring, hemolysis, biochemical, hematological analyses, and organ histology, revealed no adverse effects on the body or organs. Confocal microscopy showed\u0000 effective bacterial eradication using nanomaterials combined with near-infrared laser treatment. Minimal impact on red blood cells was observed at therapeutic concentrations. Nanomaterials, particularly gold-silver-cuprous oxide composite nanoshells, demonstrated potent resistance against\u0000 drug-resistant infections. Photothermal treatment using nanomaterials and near-infrared laser showed promise without harming normal tissues, blood, or organs. Our findings offer a potential clinical solution for keratitis treatment.","PeriodicalId":15260,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biomedical nanotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139814251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The NLCs exhibited a particle size of approximately 165 nm, which increased to around\u0000 195 nm upon SV loading. NLCs significantly prolonged the half-life of SV by nearly five-fold and improved its penetration into EA.hy926 cells, demonstrating excellent biocompatibility and targeted delivery for ALI therapy. In the rat model of ALI, the SV/NLC effectively reduced the lung wet/dry\u0000 ratio and the levels of inflammatory factor and albumin in the alveoli, thus improving the alveolar gas exchange function and blood oxygenation. The SV/NLC group demonstrated superior suppression of oxidative stress within lung tissues compared to other groups. Notably, treatment with SV reduction\u0000 in TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB P65 levels in lung tissues from ALI rat models. This effect was particularly pronounced in the SV/NLC group. Furthermore, SV can effectively mitigate inflammatory responses and oxidative stress in ALI treatment by modulating the TLR4/NF-κB\u0000 signaling pathway.

Here, we discussed the function and effect of LncRNA-LHX2 in the tumorigenesis and progression of liver cancer, which was significantly upregulated in liver cancer tissues, compared to the benign liver tissues. To improve the accuracy and efficiency of tests like qRT-PCR, we\u0000 employed nano-magnetic beads for nucleic acid extraction from tissues and cells. In our experiments using HepG2 cells, silencing of LncRNA-LHX2 effectively suppressed cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by interacting with miR-939-5p, which targets VEGFA. Interestingly, overexpression\u0000 of miR-939-5p also impaired malignant functions of HepG2 cells. However, simultaneously inhibition of miR-939-5p expression can partially restored the inhibitory effect on HepG2 cells resulting from LncRNA-LHX2 knockdown. Consistently, our in vivo results from tumor mice model also\u0000 suggested that knockout of LncRNA-LHX2 inhibited the tumor growth and suppressed epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) process, while silencing of miR-939-5p exhibited the opposite effect. However, when both LncRNA-LHX2 and miR-939-5p were simultaneously interfered with, the tumor growth\u0000 was partially alleviated.

Although calcipotriol has been employed in the clinical management of psoriasis, no association between the anti-inflammatory mechanism and iron death\u0000 has been reported. Therefore, we assume that calcipotriol may down-regulate cell activity and suppress the expression of tissue inflammatory factors by regulating the glutathione (GSH) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) pathway, thereby alleviating tissue inflammation and ameliorating psoriasis\u0000 symptoms. The experimental groups consisted of a control group, a model group, a Calcipotriol group, and a Calcipotriol+Ferrostatin-1 group. In vitro experiments, a lipopolysaccharides-induced HaCaT cell model was established. In vivo experiments, an imiquimod-induced psoriasis\u0000 mice model was constructed. The results showed that calcipotriol effectively downregulated the expression of GPX4 and GSH, thereby inhibiting HaCaT cell proliferation through modulation of Ki-67 protein expression and DNA breakage. Ferrostatin-1 could partially reverse these effects. Additionally,\u0000 calcipotriol downregulated the expression of GPX4 and GSH in skin tissues and upregulated the expression of long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 4 by suppressing the levels of SLC7A11 and ferritin, leading to promote the accumulation of ROS and ferroptosis. Moreover, calcipotriol demonstrated inhibitory\u0000 effects on the inflammatory mediators and attenuated skin inflammation. Therefore, calcipotriol effectively ameliorated psoriatic lesions. In conclusion, this study revealed that calcipotriol exerts its therapeutic potential by promoting cellular clearance and suppressing tissue inflammation\u0000 through upregulation of ferroptosis progression.
