Objectives: Vaccination still remains as the most effective approach for preventing infectious diseases such as those caused by virus infection, with cell-based vaccine manufacturing being one flexible solution regarding the spectrum of infectious disorders it can prevent. Rapid cell-based virus propagation can enable high yield of vaccines against viral diseases that may offer critical values in the industry when handling emergent situations such as the ongoing viral disease pandemic.Methods: Through investigating the phenomenon and biological mechanism underlying redox-triggered cell survival towards enhanced viral particle production, this study explores novel strategies for improved yield of viral particles at a reduced cost to meet the increasing demand on cell-based vaccine manufacturing against viral diseases.Results: We found in this study that cold atmospheric plasma (CAP), composed of multiple reactive oxygen and nitrogen species including H2O2, could effectively enhance virus replication via triggering cell mitophagy that was dynamically modulated by the p-EGFR(Tyr1068)/p-Drp1(Ser616) axis using IBRV and MDBK as the virus and cell models, respectively; and removing H2O2 can further enhance virus yield via releasing cells from excessive G0/G1 cell cycle arrest. The observed efficacy of CAP was extended to other viruses such as CDV and CPV.Conclusion: This study provides experimental evidences supporting the use of CAP as a modulator of cell survival including mitophagy and mitochondria dynamics, and makes CAP an interesting and promising tool for enhancing the yield of viral vaccines if translated into the industry.

Supported PdAu bimetallic nanoparticles have been developed for the direct synthesis of H 2 O 2 (DSHP). However, to date, the dilute H 2 streams necessary to avoid potential risks of explosion limits the attainable product concentrations of H 2 O 2 . Here, a series of silicon-modified Al 2 O 3 (Si x Al) were synthesized for loading PdAu bimetallic nanoparticles . The H 2 consumption turnover frequency (TOF) and H 2 O 2 formation TOF show a volcano trend with the silica content, where PdAu/Si 5.6 Al exhibits the best H 2 consumption TOF and H 2 O 2 formation TOF (11259.3 and 1995.2 h −1 ). Silica on the surface of Al 2 O 3 is identified as Brønsted (B) acid site. The increase of B acid sites density accelerates the H 2 conversion into H atoms, thereby boosting H 2 O 2 formation process. The adsorption and dissociation of H 2 into atomic H at B acid sites would spill across the support to PdAu nanoparticles reversely. The reversed hydrogen spillover effect induced by B acid site accounts for enhanced H 2 conversion and H 2 O 2 productivity for PdAu/Si x Al.

Through a simple room-temperature process, different amounts of Keggin-type quaternary ammonium silicotungstate were successfully encapsulated into the metal–organic framework (MOF) material ZIF-67. The catalysts were characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and BET analysis. An extraction and catalytic oxidation desulfurization system was studied using H2O2 as an oxidant and a deep eutectic solvent (DES) as an extractant. Using the 43.06%-SiW12@ZIF-67 composite under optimal reaction conditions, DBT present in a model oil could be deeply and effectively removed. The catalyst was reused 6 times, and the desulfurization rate still exceeded 90%. Finally, a possible desulfurization mechanism is proposed.

Abtract Heme binds to amyloid β -peptide (A β ) in the brain of Alzheimer΄s disease (AD) patients, thus forming heme-A β complexes and leading the characteristic pathological features of AD. The heme-A β complexes reduce O 2 by 2e − to obtain co-reactant H 2 O 2 . In this work, two-dimensional graphite-like carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) was hybridized with heme via π-π interaction to construct an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for detection of A β peptides. The capture aptamer was firstly immobilized on the gold electrode, and then incubated with target A β peptides and g-C 3 N 4 -heme. The g-C 3 N 4 -heme-A β composite was subsequently anchored on the electrode and showed a signal-on, label-free ECL emission based on dual co-reactants enhancement attributed to in-situ generated H 2 O 2 and original K 2 S 2 O 8 in PBS buffer. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the ECL biosensor has a sensitive response to A β peptides with a linear range of 10 fM-0.1 μM and a detection limit of 3.25 fM. Considering prominent specificity, reproducibility, and stability, the proposed biosensor was used to assess recovery of A β peptides in human serum and the result was satisfactory. We believe that the established method would offer a useful analytical means for quantifying A β peptides in a biological matrix.

Herein, we discovered, for the first time, that 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein (DCF), as a novel peroxidase mimic, can catalyze the oxidation of the classical peroxidase substrate 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H2O2, producing a colour reaction. Although a variety of peroxidase mimics have been actively developed recently, few studies have been focused on the small molecule peroxidase mimics. As a novel peroxidase mimic, DCF was verified to be highly stable, well reproducible and of low cost, exhibiting typical Michaelis–Menten kinetics and a strong affinity towards H2O2 and TMB. On the basis of these findings, we further demonstrated the novel use of DCF for easy and simple detection of H2O2 and glucose. This type of new small molecule peroxidase mimic is expected to be used in medical clinical diagnosis, and this novel finding not only further confirms the peroxidase activity of small molecules of fluorescein derivatives, but also opens new opportunities to deepen the knowledge of this new class of small molecule enzymes.

Artificial nanomotors are undergoing significant developments in several biomedical applications. However, current experimental strategies for producing nanomotors still have inherent drawbacks such as the requirement for expensive equipment, strict controlling of experimental conditions, and strenuous processes with several complex procedures. In this study, we describe for the first time a facile single-step thermodynamic-controlled coating method to prepare Janus mesoporous organosilica nanomotors. By controlling the total free energy of organosilica oligomers (G) from a low development level to a high level in the reaction system, the nonspontaneous nucleation on the platinum (Pt) nanosurface and the spontaneous nucleation in a solvent can be controlled, respectively. More importantly, we reveal that the molecular arrangement and contact angle of deposited organosilica on Pt cores vary with the total free energy of organosilica oligomers (G). Different values of θ would change the trend of detachment from Pt for organosilica nucleated cores and carry out diverse coating modes. These are indicated by the morphology evolution of platinum/organosilica hybrids, from naked platinum nanoparticles, evenly distributed organosilica shell/core, nonconcentric to typical Janus nanomotor. The prepared Janus mesoporous nanomotor (JMN) showed typical mesopore structures and active propelling behaviors under H2O2 stimulation. In addition, the JMN modified with hyaluronic acid exhibited excellent biocompatibility and improved tumor penetration under H2O2 stimulation. The successful construction of other nanomotor frameworks based on a gold-templated core proves the perfect applicability of the thermodynamic-coating method for the production of nanomotors. In conclusion, this work establishes a manufacturing methodology for nanomotors and drives nanomotors for promising biomedical applications.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of deaths worldwide. Energy metabolism disorders, including a reduction in fatty acids oxidation and upregulation of glycolysis pathway, are involved in the process of CAD. Therapeutic angiogenesis has become a promising treatment for CAD. Traditional Chinese medicines, such as Danqi Pill (DQP), have been proven to be effective in treating CAD in China for many years. However, the pro-angiogenic effects of DQP based on fatty acids oxidation are still unknown and the mechanism is worthy of investigation. In this study, left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery was ligated to induce the CAD models in vivo, and cardiac functions were examined using echocardiography. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were subjected to H2O2-induced oxidative stress in vitro. The effects of DQP on CAD rat models and in vitro HUVEC were detected. Our results showed that DQP had cardio-protective effects in rat model. The intensity of capillaries in the marginal area of infarction of the rat heart was increased remarkably in DQP group, and the expression of PPARα and VEGF-2 were increased. The key enzymes involved in the transportation and intake of fatty acids, including CPT1A and CD36, both increased. In H2O2-induced endothelial cells injury models, DQP also showed protective roles and promoted capillary-like tube formation. DQP up-regulated key enzymes in fatty acids oxidation in H2O2-treated HUVEC. In addition, inhibition of CPT1A compromised the pro-angiogenic effects of DQP. In conclusion, fatty acids oxidation axis PPARα-CD36-CPT1A was involved in the pro-angiogenic roles of DQP against CAD. Cardiac CPT1A may serve as a target in therapeutic angiogenesis in clinics.

The Fenton-like process, utilizing zero-valent iron (Fe 0 ) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), is employed to degrade refractory organic matter in membrane bioreactor (MBR) effluent derived from landfill leachate. However, the rate-limiting Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ redox step diminishes treatment efficacy and generates substantial iron sludge. This study elucidates the mechanism by which ultraviolet (UV) irradiation augments the Fe 0 /H 2 O 2 process for the removal of refractory organic matter in MBR effluent. The results show that the UV- enhanced H 2 O 2 process effectively disrupts the aromatic structure of organic compounds, reducing molecular weight, degree of polymerization, and humification. Compared with the Fe 0 /H 2 O 2 process, the removal efficiency of UV 254 , color number, and total organic carbon in the effluent treated by the UV/Fe 0 /H 2 O 2 process increased by 24.16%, 14.62%, and 57.46%, respectively. Concurrently, the generation of iron sludge was reduced by 21.6%. This enhancement is primarily attributed to UV's ability to intensify the Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ redox cycle and expedite the surface corrosion of Fe 0 , yielding more iron oxides. This accelerates the decomposition of H 2 O 2 , generating a higher quantity of • OH through both homogeneous and heterogeneous Fenton-like reactions. The refractory organic matter is removed through the oxidation by • OH, as well as the adsorption and precipitation facilitated by iron-based colloids. Practitioner Points UV promotes Fe 0 /H 2 O 2 process to degrade refractory organic matter in MBR effluent. UV promotes Fe 0 to dissolve more Fe 2+ and the redox cycle of Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ . The dosage of H 2 O 2 or Fe 0 influences the treatment effect of the process. Graphical UV can enhance the degradation of refractory organic matter in MBR effluent from landfill leachate by Fe 0 /H 2 O 2 process.

Low-pressure mercury lamps with high-purity quartz can emit both vacuum-UV (VUV, 185 nm) and UV (254 nm) and are commercially available and promising for eliminating recalcitrant organic pollutants. The feasibility of VUV/UV as a chemical-free oxidation process was verified and quantitatively assessed by the concept of H2O2 equivalence (EQH2O2), at which UV/H2O2 showed the same performance as VUV/UV for the degradation of trace organic contaminants (TOrCs). Although VUV showed superior H2O activation and oxidation performance, its performance highly varied as a function of light path length (Lp) in water, while that of UV/H2O2 proportionally decreased with decreasing H2O2 dose regardless of Lp. On increasing Lp from 1.0 to 3.0 cm, the EQH2O2 of VUV/UV decreased from 0.81 to 0.22 mM H2O2. Chloride and nitrate hardly influenced UV/H2O2, but they dramatically inhibited VUV/UV. The competitive absorbance of VUV by chloride and nitrate was verified as the main reason. The inhibitory effect was partially compensated by •OH formation from the propagation reactions of chloride or nitrate VUV photolysis, which was verified by kinetic modeling in Kintecus. In water with an Lp of 2.0 cm, the EQH2O2 of VUV/UV decreased from 0.43 to 0.17 mM (60.8% decrease) on increasing the chloride concentration from 0 to 15 mM and to 0.20 mM (53.5% decrease) at 4 mM nitrate. The results of this study provide a comprehensive understanding of VUV/UV oxidation in comparison to UV/H2O2, which underscores the suitability and efficiency of chemical-free oxidation with VUV/UV.

Cuproptosis is a newly identified copper-dependent cell death and holds great promise for cancer therapy. However, transporting enough copper into cancer cells is a challenge. Herein, an intelligent cupreous nanoplatform (denoted as CuO2-MSN@TA-Cu2+), consisting of in situ formation of CuO2 within mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) and then deposition with a tannic acid (TA)-Cu2+ complex, is designed and developed to realize on-demand copper delivery for cuproptosis-based combination therapy. CuO2-MSN@TA-Cu2+ exhibits tumor microenvironment-triggered therapeutic activity, wherein the outer TA-Cu2+ complex is readily disassembled to release Cu2+ and liberate the internal CuO2 to produce Cu2+ and H2O2. The overloaded Cu2+ can not only directly convert endogenous H2O2 and self-supplied H2O2 into highly toxic hydroxyl radicals for chemodynamic therapy (CDT) via Cu-based Fenton-like reaction but also undergo glutathione-mediated reduction into Cu+ species to induce potent cellular cuproptosis and enhance CDT. The experimental results indicate that CuO2-MSN@TA-Cu2+ produces remarkable cytotoxicity against cancer cells and significantly suppresses tumor growth by 93.42% in mice-bearing 4T1 breast tumors. This work provides a new paradigm to boost cuproptosis-related therapy and may also inspire the design of advanced therapeutic nanoplatforms.

Electron-donating group modification on covalent organic frameworks (COFs) would reasonably stimulate photocatalytic activity. However, the structure-activity relationship between the electron-donating capacity and the photocatalytic activity of electron-donating functional COFs remains greatly obscure. Herein, a series of functionalized hydrazone-linked COFs containing different electron-donating capacity groups (R-COF, R = H, Me, MeO, OH) were constructed. The results suggest that the existence of substituents with strong electron-donating capacity in R-COFs can enhance the conjugation effect and thereby accelerate the separation and transfer of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. And the stronger electron-donating capacity of groups are more favorable for the electron push-pull effect, which is beneficial for photocatalytic H 2 O 2 production. Among them, MeO-COF had the highest H 2 O 2 generation performance without sacrificial agents under air (847.9 μmol g −1 h −1 ), which is 4.95 times higher than that of H-COF. This work provides insights for the design of functionalized COFs to achieve efficient photocatalytic H 2 O 2 production.

In this study, the carbon-doped bimetallic organic framework C 60 /MIL-101(Fe,Cu) catalyst was prepared for the first time via solvothermal synthesis method. The catalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and a series of other instruments. At the same time, methylene blue (MB) was used as the target degradation material to investigate the catalytic performance of H 2 O 2 for MB degradation under visible light. The degradation experiment showed that the removal rate of C 60 /MIL-101(Fe,Cu) to MB reached 99.2% within 80 min. Furthermore, cyclic experiments demonstrated good stability and reusability of the catalyst. Finally, the degradation mechanism of the reaction was deduced by quenching experiment, UV–vis diffuse reflection and mott-Schottky plots. The results show that hydroxyl radical (·OH) and superoxide radical (·O 2 − ) play a major role in the degradation of MB during photo-Fenton process.
