    Identifying Factors Controlling Cellular Uptake of Gold Nanoparticles by Machine Learning
    (TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2023) Bilgi, Eyüp; Winkler, David A.; Öksel Karakuş, Ceyda
    There is strong interest to improve the therapeutic potential of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) while ensuring their safe development. The utility of GNPs in medicine requires a molecular-level understanding of how GNPs interact with biological systems. Despite considerable research efforts devoted to monitoring the internalisation of GNPs, there is still insufficient understanding of the factors responsible for the variability in GNP uptake in different cell types. Data-driven models are useful for identifying the sources of this variability. Here, we trained multiple machine learning models on 2077 data points for 193 individual nanoparticles from 59 independent studies to predict cellular uptake level of GNPs and compared different algorithms for their efficacies of prediction. The five ensemble learners (Xgboost, random forest, bootstrap aggregation, gradient boosting, light gradient boosting machine) made the best predictions of GNP uptake, accounting for 80-90% of the variance in the test data. The models identified particle size, zeta potential, GNP concentration and exposure duration as the most important drivers of cellular uptake. We expect this proof-of-concept study will foster the more effective use of accumulated cellular uptake data for GNPs and minimise any methodological bias in individual studies that may lead to under- or over-estimation of cellular internalisation rates.

    Machine Learning-Assisted Prediction of the Toxicity of Silver Nanoparticles: a Meta-Analysis
    (Springer, 2023) Bilgi, Eyüp; Öksel Karakuş, Ceyda
    Silver nanoparticles are likely to be more dangerous than other forms of silver due to the intracellular release of silver ions upon dissolution and the formation of mixed ion-containing complexes. Such concerns have resulted in an ever-growing pile of scientific evaluations addressing the safety aspects of nanosilver with widely varying methodological approaches. The substantial differences in the conduct/design of nanotoxicity screening have led to the generation of conflicting findings that may be accurate in their narrative but fail to provide a complete picture. One strategy to maximize the use of individual risk assessments with potentially biased estimates of toxicological effects is to homogenize results across several studies and to increase the generalizability and human relevance of their findings. Here, we collected a large pool of data (n=162 independent studies) on the cytotoxicity of nanosilver and unrevealed potential triggers of toxicity. Two different machine learning approaches, decision tree (DT) and artificial neural network (ANN), were primarily employed to develop models that can predict the cytotoxic potential of nanosilver based on material- and assay-related parameters. Other machine learning algorithms (logistic regression, Gaussian Naive Bayes, k-nearest neighbor, and random forest classifiers) were also applied. Among several attributes compared, exposure concentration, duration, zeta potential, particle size, and coating were found to have the most substantial impact on nanotoxicity, with biomolecule- and microorganism-assisted surface modifications having the most beneficial and detrimental effects on cell survival, respectively. Such machine learning-assisted efforts are critical to developing commercially viable and safe nanosilver-containing products in the ever-expanding nanobiomaterial market.
