CuNPs were accumulated within the cells and were found to reduce all the markers of proliferation, but promoted all the markers of apoptosis and the release of steroid hormones. When added alone, BTC raised the expression of all cell viability and proliferation markers, depleted the expression of all apoptosis markers, and stimulated the release of both estradiol and progesterone. Furthermore, BTC prevented and even reversed the effect of CuNPs on all the measured parameters, whereas CuNPs mitigated BTC's effect on all the analyzed cell functions.

There are many different crystal defects in photoluminescent materials, which can have a significant impact on their optical properties. The luminescent properties and chemical stability of materials can be effectively improved by adjusting lattice defects in crystals. We systematically studied the effect of doping ions on the energy transfer upconversion mechanism in different defect crystals by changing the matrix alkali metal ions. Meanwhile, the influence mechanism of crystal defect distribution on luminescence performance is explored by adjusting the ratio of Na-Li. The PL spectra indicate that changing the alkaline ions significantly affects the luminescence performance and efficiency of UCNPs. The change in ion radius leads to substitution or gap changes in the main lattice, which may alter the symmetry and strength of the crystal field around doped RE ions, thereby altering the UCL performance. Additionally, we demonstrated the imaging capabilities of the synthesized upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) in cellular environments using fluorescence microscopy. The results revealed that Na<sub>0.9</sub>Li<sub>0.1</sub>LuF<sub>4</sub>-Yb, Er nanoparticles exhibited significantly enhanced fluorescence intensity in cell imaging compared to other compositions. We further investigated the mechanism by which structural defects formed by doping ions in UCNPs with different alkali metals affect energy transfer upconversion (ETU).

I show that, in a narrow field range near the saturation field, the hexagonal skyrmion order gradually transforms into a square arrangement of skyrmions. Then, by the second-order phase transition during which the lattice period diverges, the square skyrmion lattice releases a set of repulsive isolated skyrmions. On decreasing the magnetic field, isolated skyrmions re-condense into the square lattice at the same critical field as soon as their eigen-energy becomes negative with respect to the field-aligned state. The underlying reason for the reorientation transition between two skyrmion orders can be deduced from the energy density distribution within isolated skyrmions surrounded by the homogeneous state. When the negative energy within the ring-shaped area at the skyrmion outskirt outweighs the positive energy amount around the skyrmion axis, skyrmions tend to form the square lattice, in which the overlap of skyrmion profiles results in smaller energy losses as compared with the hexagonal crystal. With the further decreasing field, the hexagonal lattice achieves smaller energy density in comparison with the square one due to the denser packing of individual skyrmions.</p>","PeriodicalId":18966,"journal":{"name":"Nanomaterials","volume":"14 23","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142837994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oxidative stress has been identified as one of the key pathogenic drivers of Parkinson's disease (PD). Edaravone, an approved free-radical scavenger, has proven to have potential against PD by targeting multiple key pathologies, including oxidative stress, focal mitochondria, and neuroinflammation. However, its bioavailability is potentially restricted due to its poor solubility and short half-life. This study aims to develop a simple and effective drug delivery system for edaravone to enhance its solubility, stability, and bioavailability to improve its neuroprotective efficacy. An MPEG-2000-DSPE-edaravone (MDE) micelle was prepared via solvent evaporation using MPEG-2000-DSPE as a carrier to encapsulate edaravone. The morphology, particle size, zeta potential, chemical structure, and edaravone loading of MDE were evaluated. We then investigated whether such targeted edaravone delivery could provide enhanced neuroprotection. A cell model of PD was established in PC12 cells through exposure to rotenone. The effects of MDE on PC12 cells treated with or without rotenone were evaluated using a cell counting kit-8, calcein acetoxymethyl ester (AM)-propidine iodide (PI) staining, and flow cytometry. Cell migration was evaluated using a wound healing assay. Additionally, the intracellular antioxidant study was performed using an ROS-level-detecting DCFH-DA probe, and the mitochondrial membrane potentials were evaluated using a JC-1 assay. MDE with a drug-loading content of 17.6% and an encapsulation efficiency of 92.8% was successfully prepared. The resultant MDE had a mean particle size of 112.97 ± 5.54 nm with a zeta potential of -42 mV. Cytotoxicity assays confirmed that the MDE (≤200 ug/mL) exhibited promising cytocompatibility with no significant effect on cell viability, cell cycle regulation, or apoptosis levels. Likewise, compared with the free edaravone, no effect on cell migration was noted for MDE. MDE might be able to target edaravone delivery into PC12 cells, increasing the mitochondrial membrane potential and providing a significant local antioxidant effect. The results demonstrated that MPEG-2000-DSPE could be a promising material for enhancing edaravone's aqueous solubility, stability, and antioxidant effects.
