The study investigated the capacity of the endophytic fungus Talaromyces funiculosus to biosynthesize extracellular AgNPs and assess their safety. The fungus was identified through morphological and phylogenetic analyses. The biosynthesized AgNPs were spherical crystalline, stable (6 months), and mono-dispersed (PDI: 0.007), exhibiting SPR at 422.5 nm, average diameter of 34.32 nm, and Zeta potential of -18.41 mV. The optimal biosynthesis conditions are 1 mM AgNO, 5 g biomass, pH 5.5, and a reaction temperature of 60 °C. Escherichia coli (bacterial strains) and Candida tropicalis (yeast strains) exhibited the highest susceptibility with inhibition zones of 26.3 mm and 22.3 mm, respectively, at 50 µg/mL of AgNPs, and MICs of 3.7 µg/mL and 6.3 µg/mL, respectively. AgNPs exhibited cytotoxicity with IC values of 48.11 ppm for HEK-293 and 35.88 ppm for Hep-G2 cells, showing selective toxicity toward cancer cells. They demonstrated antioxidant activity by increasing GSH (10.29 to 14.76 mmol/g) and reducing MDA (40.57 to 26.28 nmol/ml) at 48.11 ppm. AgNPs also enhanced IL-10 production (96.47 to 177.0 pg/mL) and reduced TNF-α levels (55.77 to 41.06 pg/mL), indicating their anti-inflammatory properties. These results support the safe use of low-dose AgNPs, however, further studies are needed to evaluate AgNPs for clinical uses.
该研究调查了内生真菌绳状篮状菌生物合成细胞外银纳米颗粒的能力,并评估了它们的安全性。通过形态学和系统发育分析鉴定了该真菌。生物合成的银纳米颗粒呈球形晶体,稳定(6个月)且单分散(多分散指数:0.007),在422.5nm处表现出表面等离子体共振,平均直径为34.32nm,zeta电位为-18.41mV。最佳生物合成条件为1mM硝酸银、5g生物量、pH5.5和60℃的反应温度。大肠杆菌(细菌菌株)和热带假丝酵母(酵母菌株)在50μg/mL银纳米颗粒时表现出最高敏感性,抑菌圈分别为26.3mm和22.3mm,最低抑菌浓度分别为3.7μg/mL和6.3μg/mL。银纳米颗粒对HEK-293细胞的半数抑制浓度值为48.11ppm,对Hep-G2细胞为35.88ppm,表现出对癌细胞的选择性毒性。在48.11ppm时,它们通过增加谷胱甘肽(从10.29至14.76mmol/g)和降低丙二醛(从40.57至26.28nmol/ml)表现出抗氧化活性。银纳米颗粒还增强了白细胞介素-10的产生(从96.47至177.0pg/mL)并降低了肿瘤坏死因子-α水平(从55.77至41.06pg/mL),表明它们具有抗炎特性。这些结果支持低剂量银纳米颗粒的安全使用,然而,需要进一步研究以评估银纳米颗粒的临床用途。
