TL;DR: In this article, Nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) were synthesized from Chionanthus retusus (C. retus) fruit extract using a simple hydrothermal carbonization method.
Abstract: Nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) were synthesized from Chionanthus retusus (C. retusus) fruit extract using a simple hydrothermal-carbonization method. Their ability to sense metal ions, and their biological activity in terms of cell viability and bioimaging applications were evaluated. The resulting N-CDs were characterized by various physicochemical techniques such as high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman spectroscopy. The optical properties were characterized by ultraviolet visible (UV-vis) fluorescence spectroscopy techniques. The average size of the N-CDs was approximately 5 ± 2 nm with an interlayer distance of 0.21 nm, as calculated from the HRTEM images. The presence of phytoconstituent functionalities and the percentages of components in the N–CDs were confirmed by XPS studies, and a nitrogen content of 5.3% was detected. The N–CDs demonstrated highly durable fluorescence properties and low cytotoxicity with a quantum yield of 9%. The synthesized N–CDs were then used as probes for the detection of metal ions. The N–CDs exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity towards Fe3+, with a linear relationship between 0 and 2 μM and a detection limit of 70 μM. The synthesized N–CDs are anticipated to have diverse biomedical applications, particularly for bioimaging, given their high fluorescence, excellent water solubility, good cell permeability, and negligible cytotoxicity. Finally, the potential of N–CDs as biological probes was investigated using fungal (Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans) strains via fluorescent microscopy. We found that N–CDs were suitable candidates for differential staining applications in yeast cells with good cell permeability, localization with negligible cytotoxicity. Hence, N–CDs may find dual utility as probes for the detection of cellular pools of metal ions (Fe3+) and also for early detection of opportunistic yeast infections in biological samples.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Omp38 may act as a potential virulence factor to induce apoptosis of epithelial cells in the early stage of A. baumannii infection.
Abstract: Acinetobacter baumannii is an important opportunistic pathogen responsible for nosocomial infection. Despite considerable clinical and epidemiological data regarding the role of A. baumannii in nosocomial infection, the specific virulence factor or pathogenic mechanism of this organism has yet to be elucidated. This study investigated the molecular mechanism of apoptosis on the infection of human laryngeal epithelial HEp-2 cells with A. baumannii and examined the contribution of outer membrane protein 38 (Omp38) on the ability of A. baumannii to induce apoptosis of epithelial cells. A. baumannii induced apoptosis of HEp-2 cells through cell surface death receptors and mitochondrial disintegration. The Omp38-deficient mutant was not as able to induce apoptosis as the wild-type A. baumannii strain. Purified Omp38 entered the cells and was localized to the mitochondria, which led to a release of proapoptotic molecules such as cytochrome c and apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF). The activation of caspase-3, which is activated by caspase-9, degraded DNA approximately 180 bp in size, which resulted in the appearance of a characteristic DNA ladder. AIF degraded chromosomal DNA approximately 50 kb in size, which resulted in large-scale DNA fragmentation. These results demonstrate that Omp38 may act as a potential virulence factor to induce apoptosis of epithelial cells in the early stage of A. baumannii infection.
