Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the main types of primary liver cancer, which shows some abnormal glycosylation, such as the increase of fucose. Lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA), a natural plant lectin that can bind to mannose and fucose, has been reported to be antiproliferative to may tumors. However, the effect of LCA on the vitality and migration ability of human hepatoma cells is not demonstrated. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of LCA on vitality and migration in human hepatoma cells and its potential mechanisms. Methods and results LCA had no significant effect on viability of human hepatoma cells (HCCLM3, MHCC97L and HepG2) and hepatocytes (L02) by CCK-8 kit, but it could inhibit human hepatoma cells migration significantly without affecting hepatocytes by Transwell method. Sugar inhibition assay was used to verify the possible binding site between LCA and human hepatoma cells. The result showed that Mannose- and fucose- related sites were associated with LCA inhibiting human hepatoma cells migration. Moreover, LCA could affect HCCLM3 migration by activating ERK1/2 and JNK1/2/3 signalling pathways. LCA did not affect MMP-2 and MMP-9 of HCCLM3 through gelatinase zymography. However, the results of immunofluorescence standing showed that LCA could reduce the F-actin formation in HCCLM3 via ERK1/2 and JNK1/2/3 signalling pathways. Conclusions LCA might inhibit human hepatoma cell migration by reducing the F-actin formation via the mannose and fucose-mediated ERK1/2 and JNK1/2/3 signalling pathway. This result will deepen people’s understanding on plant lectin as a drug in tumor glycobiology.

The electronics related to the fifth generation mobile communication technology (5G) are projected to possess significant market potential. High dielectric constant microwave ceramics used as filters and resonators in 5G have thus attracted great attention. The Ba6−3x(Sm1−yNdy)8+2xTi18O54(x =2/3) ceramic system has aroused people’s interest due to its underlying excellent microwave dielectric properties. In this paper, the relationships between the dielectric constant, Nd-doped content, sintering temperature and the density of Ba6−3x(Sm1−yNdy)8+2xTi18O54(x =2/3) ceramics were studied. The linear regression equation was established by statistical product and service solution (SPSS) data analysis software, and the factors affecting the dielectric constant have been analyzed by using the enter and stepwise methods, respectively. It is found that the model established by the stepwise method is practically significant withY= −71.168 + 6.946x1+ 25.799x3, whereY,x1andx3represent the dielectric constant, Nd content and the density, respectively. According to this model, the influence of density on the dielectric constant is greater than that of Nd doping concentration. We bring the linear regression analysis method into the research field of microwave dielectric ceramics, hoping to provide an instructive for the optimization of ceramic technology.Keywords:microwave dielectric ceramics;Ba6−3x(Sm1−yNdy)8+2xTi18O54(x =2/3) system;dielectric constant;linear regression analysis

In this work, N-[2-(3-indolyl)ethyl]-cinnamamide (IA) synthesized from tryptamine (TA) and cinnamic acid was evaluated as green corrosion inhibitor for Q235 steel in 0.5 M HCl solution by weight loss tests, potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Gravimetric measurements displayed the maximum inhibition efficiencies of TA and IA at 1.0 mM were up to 92.8% and 97.6%, respectively. PDP and EIS studies revealed they could hinder both hydrogen evolution and metal dissolution reactions and that the inhibiting effect was temperature and concentration dependent. The surface analysis of sample was presented through scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) and atomic force microscope (AFM), which indicated the anti-corrosion ability of Q235 steel in hydrochloric acid was enhanced by the inhibitor. The adsorptive behavior of inhibitors including physisorption and chemisorption obeyed Langmuir isotherm. The inhibition mechanism was elucidated by determining the potential of zero charge ( E pzc ) at solid/liquid interface. Quantum chemistry calculation provided a theoretical estimate of the reactivities of TA and IA as corrosion inhibitors to ascertain the correlation between the inhibition efficiency and molecular structures. Results of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations confirm that IA shows better inhibitive performance due to higher interaction energy (– 79.1 kJ mol −1 for TA and – 144.16 kJ mol −1 for IA).

Obesity is a major health crisis in the modern society. Studies have shown that the consumption of a high-fat diet (HFD) induces hypothalamic inflammation and leptin resistance, which consequently favours body mass gain. Actin related protein 2/3 complex subunit 1 (ARPC1B), an actin-binding protein, is highly expressed in immune cells. Recent studies have shown that ARPC1B has a certain anti-inflammatory effect. While ARPC1B expression is decreased in the hypothalamus of mice fed a HFD, the role of ARPC1B in HFD-induced obesity remains unclear. Thus, we investigated whether ARPC1B up-regulation in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) could inhibit the development of obesity. Herein, ARPC1B overexpression lentiviral particles were stereotaxically injected into the ARC of male C57BL/6J mice (7 weeks old) fed with HFD. Overexpression of ARPC1B in the hypothalamic ARC attenuated HFD-induced ARC inflammation, reduced body-weight gain and feed efficiency. Furthermore, up-regulation of ARC ARPC1B improved the glucose tolerance and reduced subcutaneous/epididymal fat mass accumulation, which decreased the serum total cholesterol, serum triglyceride and leptin levels. In addition, upon ARPC1B overexpression in the hypothalamic ARC, intraperitoneal injection of leptin increased the phosphorylation level of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), an important transcription factor for leptin's action, in the ARC of obese mice. Accordingly, we suggest that up-regulation of ARPC1B in the hypothalamic ARC may improve the HFD-induced hypothalamic inflammation and leptin resistance. Our findings demonstrate that ARPC1B is a promising target for the treatment of diet-induced obesity.

Three novel electrochromic copolymers PTPE-1, PTPE-2, and PTPE-3 were synthesized by changing the ratio of donor to acceptor using the Stille coupling polymerization . 5,8,14,17-tetrabromoquinoxaline[2′,3':9,10]phenanthro[4,5-abc] phenazine (monomer b) was first introduced and employed as multi-functionalized unit with bisquinoxaline structure and high planarity, which was used as the acceptor unit. Two electron-rich monomers ProDOT-decyl 2 (monomer a) and thiophene (monomer c) are selected as the co-monomers and donor units. The three polymers were tested by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), spectro-electrochemistry, kinetics, thermogravimetric analysis (TG), etc. All three polymers have narrow band gaps of lower than 1.85 eV and satisfactory thermal stability. As to electrochromic switching properties, the polymers showed high optical contrast and fast response time both in the visible and near-infrared regions. The optical contrasts are 53.35% at 540 nm and 66.49% at 1325 nm for PTPE-3, and its coloration efficiencies are 163 cm 2 C −1 at 540 nm, 205 cm 2 C −1 at 1325 nm, with fast switch time of less than 1 s. The color changes of three polymers were diversified and distinct, PTPE-1 changes from chestnut color to blue-gray color, PTPE-2 changes from dull red color to wathet color and PTPE-3 changes from deep red color to light blue-gray color. The excellent properties of the polymers might result from their cross-linked structure and consequent formation of the compatible ion transport channel.

In this work, 2(3),9(10),16(17),23(24)-octamethoxyphthalocyanine (Pc(OH)8) was first used to modify Cu/CuFe2O4(Cu/CFO) nanospheres, and Pc(OH)8–Cu/CFO nanocomposites with enhanced peroxidase mimetic enzyme activity was obtained compared to the performance of Cu/CFO alone. SEM, XRD, and XPS were used to study the surface morphology, phase composition and elemental analysis of the newly synthesized Pc(OH)8–Cu/CFO. Using TMB as the chromogenic substrate, Pc(OH)8–Cu/CFO accelerate the oxidation process of chromogenic substrate 3,3′,5,5′- tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by hydrogen peroxide in three minutes. The catalytic oxidation mechanism of Pc(OH)8–Cu/CFO on TMB was comprehensively investigated through free radical and fluorescence probe experiments. Based on the excellent catalytic performance of the composite materials, a simple and fast colorimetric sensing platform for the colorimetric detection of H2O2 and glutathione (GSH) was constructed in the range of 0.6–5 mM and 2–10 μM with detection limits (LODs) of 0.35 mM and 0.55 μM, respectively. In addition, using Pc(OH)8–Cu/CFO colorimetric detection for GSH has a lower detection limit, good selectivity and high sensitivity, which is expected to become an ideal material for GSH colorimetric detection.

A novel monomer, N -(2-((3-morpholine-3-isopropyl)thio)ethyl)methacrylamide (MTMA), is synthesized and polymerized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization to give a thermoresponsive polymer poly[ N -(2-((3-morpholino-3-oxopropyl)thio)ethyl)methacrylamide] (PMTMA). PMTMA exhibits reversible thermoresponsive phase transitions of the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) type in water and the upper critical solution temperature (UCST) type in ethanol and methanol. The degree of polymerization and concentration of PMTMA, and solvent type have a significant influence on the transition temperature. PMTMA shows complicated thermoresponse in water–alcohol mixtures. In water–ethanol mixtures, the phase diagram of PMTMA can be divided into three regions according to ethanol volume percentages, φ : 0 ≤ φ < 15% for an LCST region; 15% ≤ φ < 91.5% for a complete dissolution region; 91.5% ≤ φ ≤ 100% for a UCST region. At high water content, the LCST increases with increasing ethanol content; and at high ethanol content, the UCST decreases with increasing water content. In water–methanol mixtures, PMTMA shows more complex thermoresponse. In the range of 0–50 °C, the phase diagram can be divided into five regions, depending on the methanol volume percentages φ : 0 ≤ φ < 15% for LCST region; 15% ≤ φ < 25% for immiscible region; 25% ≤ φ < 85% for UCST region; 85% ≤ φ < 95% for fully dissolved region; 95% ≤ φ ≤ 100% for another UCST region.

In recent years, polymerized small molecule acceptors (PSMAs) have emerged as a promising strategy that combines the strong absorption of small molecules with the film-forming ability and stability of polymers, thereby greatly boosting the performance of all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs). We designed a non-fused acceptor, DTBT-IC, and its polymeric counterpart, PDTBT-Br-T, by selecting DTBT as the core, bithiophene as the π-bridge, and IC as the terminal group. PDTBT-Br-T was synthesized via Stille coupling and used with PM6 as the donor to fabricate organic solar cells. The PDTBT-Br-T-based device delivered superior performance, with a VOC of 1.050 V, JSC of 9.32 mA cm−2, FF of 45.33%, and a PCE of 4.44%, outperforming the DTBT-IC-based counterpart. Morphological and structural analyses revealed that PDTBT-Br-T exhibits more ordered backbone stacking and defined phase separation, enhancing exciton dissociation and charge transport, and suppressing energy loss. The study highlights that polymerization of DTBT-IC enhances intermolecular packing and microstructure, offering critical design insights for efficient all-PSCs.

A one-pot cascade heterocyclization strategy has been developed for the synthesis of 2,4-dichloro-substituted pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidines and furo[2,3-d]pyrimidines from linear γ- and β-ketomalononitriles using triphosgene and triphenylphosphine oxide. The reaction afforded synthetic useful products with moderate to good yields, bypassing the conventional harsh conditions of chlorination. The mechanistic study revealed that the reaction proceeded with a non-isocyanate route, and the second step may conduct in a triphenylphosphine oxide-catalyzed manner.

An effective method to prepare crosslinked polybenzimidazole (PBI) via [2 + 3] Huisgen cycloadditions has been proposed. Propargyl modified PBI (PBI-PG) has been synthesized firstly. In the presence of diazido crosslinkers, PBI-PG can be thermally crosslinked by [2 + 3] Huisgen cycloadditions. Evidences from 1 H NMR and ATR spectra imply a small amount of grafting alkenyl structures on PBI-PG. The grafting alkenyl structures provide another crosslinking mechanism named as alkyne-alkene crosslink. The alkyne-alkene crosslink is highly efficient under heat to form crosslinking networks which display toughness, low tensile strengths, and large swelling ratios in phosphoric acid (PA) solutions. Influences of rigidities and chain lengths of crosslinkers on performances of crosslinked PBIs have been investigated. PBIs crosslinked by rigid crosslinkers behave as brittle materials while that crosslinked by flexible crosslinkers behave as tough materials. Addition of crosslinkers leads to decreased gel fractions but improved tensile strengths, which is attributed to competition results of crosslinking and plasticizing effects. PBI-R2-20, which is crosslinked by a long rigid crosslinker, exhibits the highest tensile strength of 102.33 MPa, which is 66.34 MPa higher than that of PBI-PG. With even lower PA uptakes, PBIs crosslinked by rigid crosslinkers display more thermally stable and higher conductivities than that crosslinked by flexible crosslinkers. After doping in 12 mol/L PA solution, PBI-R2-20, with an acid uptake of 163 wt%, displays the highest tensile strength of 8.1 MPa and the most thermally stable and the highest conductivity which reaches a maximum of 2.30 × 10 −2 S cm −1 at 188 °C among all crosslinked membranes.

A facile and sensitive fluorescent strategy for the determination of dopamine is reported using 2, 3-diaminophenazine. Dopamine caused autooxidation in the presence of oxygen with catalysis by Mn2+ and formed 2, 3-dihydro-1H-indole-5,6-dione. 2, 3-Diaminophenazine provided relatively strong fluorescence. 2, 3-Diaminophenazine in aqueous solution caused fluorescence quenching when the aminochrome condensed with 2, 3-diaminophenazine to allow the determination of dopamine. Under the optimized conditions, the linear dynamic range for dopamine was from 2.0 × 10−6 mol · L−1 to 6.1 × 10−5 mol · L−1 with a detection limit of 1.76 × 10−6 mol · L−1.
