Abstract
Recently, due to their unique properties, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been used in many biological applications. However, little is known about their toxicity when they come into contact with a biological system. Based on the proposal that AuNPs can have a positive effect on wound healing, the present study investigated the influence of negatively-charged-surface AuNPs (average diameter 25-50 nm) on the viability of normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF) and normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK). Moreover, we evaluated the effect of AuNPs on the secretion of proteins involved in wound healing, such as interleukin-8 and - 12 (IL-8, IL-12), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast grow factor (bFGF), and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). The results showed that AuNPs were not toxic to NHDF and NHEK. They showed a decrease in AuNPs' production of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-12 and TNF-α, as well as proteins involved in angiogenesis such as VEGF and bFGF. Thus, we suggest that AuNPs could have anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic activity.

期刊介绍:
Nanobiomedicine is an international, peer-reviewed, open access scientific journal that publishes research in nanotechnology as it interfaces with fundamental studies in biology, as well as its application to the fields of medicine. Nanobiomedicine covers all key aspects of this research field, including, but not limited to, bioengineering, biophysics, physical and biological chemistry, and physiology, as well as nanotechnological applications in diagnostics, therapeutic application, preventive medicine, drug delivery, and monitoring of human disease. Additionally, theoretical and modeling studies covering the nanobiomedicine fields will be considered. All submitted articles considered suitable for Nanobiomedicine are subjected to rigorous peer review to ensure the highest levels of quality. The review process is carried out as quickly as possible to minimize any delays in the online publication of articles. Submissions are encouraged on all topics related to nanobiomedicine, and its clinical applications including but not limited to: Nanoscale-structured biomaterials, Nanoscale bio-devices, Nanoscale imaging, Nanoscale drug delivery, Nanobiotechnology, Nanorobotics, Nanotoxicology, Nanoparticles, Nanocarriers, Nanofluidics, Nanosensors (nanowires, nanophotonics), Nanosurgery (dermatology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, etc), Nanocarriers commercialization of nanobiomedical technologies, Market trends in the nanobiomedicine space, Ethics and regulatory aspects of nanobiomedicine approval, New perspectives of nanobiomedicine in clinical diagnostics, BioMEMS, Nano-coatings, Plasmonics, Nanoscale visualization.
