ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M.pneumoniae) was accounted to 3-10% of total pneumonia incidences. In recent decades, metallic nanoparticles were extensively examined as nano-antibiotics.OBJECTIVE:
In this investigation, we intended to inspect the therapeutic potential of Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) from (Corydalis yanhusuo) C. yanhusuo against the mycoplasma infected pneumonia in mice.METHODOLOGY:
The ZnONPs were formulated via green route technique and characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared technique, and atomic force microscopy. The antimicrobial activity of formulated ZnONPs was tested by well diffusion method. The total protein, interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and transforming growth factor (TGF) status in the BALF of M. pneumonia infected animals were investigated via kit method. The expressions of ERK1/2, JNK1/2, and NF-κB were examined through the Western blotting. The Histopathological analysis of lung tissues of experimental animals was done.RESULTS:
The UV-vis spectroscopy and TEM examinations were proved the existence of CY-ZnONPs. The formulated CY-ZnONPs were displayed the potential antimicrobial activity. The supplementation of CY-ZnONPs were noticeably diminished the total protein and IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α levels in the BALF of pneumonia mice. The ERK1/2, JNK1/2, and NF-κB expressions were appreciably diminished in the CY-ZnONPs supplemented mice. It also reduced the inflammatory cells penetration, and exhibited normal tissue arrangements in the lung tissues of pneumonia mice.CONCLUSION:
The findings of this investigation were proved that the synthesized CY-ZnONPs has the potential to ameliorate the M. pneumoniae infected pneumonia in investigational mice.Palavras-chave
