Characterization and Preparation of ZnO Nanoparticles

ZnO NPs were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). The morphology and size of the particles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) (2100F, JEOL, Tokyo, Japan). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern was recorded using a Rigaku Miniflex-II x-ray diffractometer (Tokyo, Japan).
To prepare a suspension for use in animal experiments, ZnO NPs were dispersed in normal saline (NS) containing 1% hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) [12 (link)] at a concentration of 40 mg/ml. HPMC was used as a suspending agent to ensure that the NPs were uniformly dispersed and to increase operability. The suspension was ultrasonically dispersed in an ice bath for 30 min before each use.
To prepare a stock solution for the cell experiments, ZnO NPs were dispersed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at a concentration of 2 mg/ml and autoclaved. The working solution was the stock solution diluted with melanocyte medium and was ultrasonically dispersed in an ice bath for 15 min before each use [12 (link)].

Wang P., Hu G., Zhao W., Du J., You M., Xv M., Yang H., Zhang M., Yan F., Huang M., Wang X., Zhang L, & Chen Y. (2022). Continuous ZnO nanoparticle exposure induces melanoma-like skin lesions in epidermal barrier dysfunction model mice through anti-apoptotic effects mediated by the oxidative stress–activated NF-κB pathway.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
