Metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 (GRM2) is highly expressed in hippocampal dentate granule cells (DGCs), regulating synaptic transmission and hippocampal functions. Newborn DGCs are continuously generated throughout life and express GRM2 when they are mature. However, it remained unclear whether and how GRM2 regulates the development and integration of these newborn neurons. We discovered that the expression of GRM2 in adult-born DGCs increased with neuronal development in mice of both sexes. Lack of GRM2 caused developmental defects of DGCs and impaired hippocampus-dependent cognitive functions. Intriguingly, our data showed that knockdown of Grm2 resulted in decreased b/c-Raf kinases and paradoxically led to an excessive activation of MEK/ERK1/2 pathway. Inhibition of MEK ameliorated the developmental defects caused by Grm2 knockdown. Together, our results indicate that GRM2 is necessary for the development and functional integration of newborn DGCs in the adult hippocampus through regulating the phosphorylation and activation state of MEK/ERK1/2 pathway.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 (GRM2) is highly expressed in mature dentate granule cells (DGCs) in the hippocampus. It remains unclear whether GRM2 is required for the development and integration of adult-born DGCs. We provided in vivo and in vitro evidence to show that GRM2 regulates the development of adult-born DGCs and their integration into existing hippocampal circuits. Lack of GRM2 in a cohort of newborn DGCs impaired object-to-location memory in mice. Moreover, we revealed that GRM2 knockdown paradoxically upregulated MEK/ERK1/2 pathway by suppressing b/c-Raf in developing neurons, which is likely a common mechanism underlying the regulation of the development of neurons expressing GRM2. Thus, Raf/MEK/ERK1/2 pathway could be a potential target for brain diseases related to GRM2 abnormality.

In this study, we used solid-phase extraction with liquid chromatography–ion trap time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC–IT-TOF-MS) to analyze 2-fluorodeschloroketamine (2-FDCK) metabolites in human urine. The complete set of oxidative metabolites was identified, with 17 compounds divided into four groups. Furthermore, we examined the hydroxy substitution site after oxidative metabolism with theoretical calculation and 2-FDCK nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data. We clarified the correlation of the oxidative metabolic sites with the electron cloud density in the structure. Additionally, two enantiomers of dihydro-2-fluorodeschloroketamine (dihydro-2-FDCK) were determined by using a laboratory-made dihydro-2-FDCK hydrochloride reference substance. Their configurations were determined via NMR spectrometry data prediction of the ACD Labs-Structure Elucidator Suite software and theoretical calculation. Moreover, the stereoselectivity of the related enzymes in hydrogenation metabolism in vivo was clarified. These findings provide an important reference for analyzing other oxidative metabolites, laying the foundation for future analysis, prediction, elucidation and identification of the latest ketamine-type new psychoactive substance metabolites.

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADC) are an inevitable trend in the development of modern “precision medicine”. The goal of this work is to produce enzyme-responsive antibody nanoparticle-loaded medication (FMSN-Dox-H2-AE01) based on the EGFR antibody (AE01) and human serum albumin (HSA) shelled mesoporous silica nanoparticles. HSA and antibodies on the surface of the particlescan not only enhance the biocompatibility of the particle and avoid early drug leakage but also allow selective biodegradation triggered by matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), which are overexpressed enzymes in some tumor tissues. The cytotoxicity test confirmed favorable safety and efficacy of the ADC. The mortality rate of cancer cells is about 85–90%. Moreover, the antibody nanoparticle-loaded drug showed distinguishing controlled release efficiency toward cancer cells induced by different levels of MMP-2 and pH. This enzyme-responsive FMSN-Dox-H2-AE01 offers a promising option for cancer therapy.

2-Ethyl-3-oxazolidineethanol (OE) is an important pharmaceutical intermediate for the treatment of dental plaque. A systematic investigation of the one-pot synthesis of OE from propanal (PA) and diethanolamine (DEA) was conducted herein. The process was carried out under mild reaction conditions without any addition of catalyst, and the product was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). Additionally, the effects of the PA/DEA ratio, methanol/DEA ratio, reaction time, and temperature on the reaction results were explored. Based on the single-factor experiments, response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the reaction conditions and it achieved a high OE yield of 98.48%, which is close to the prediction value of 98.38%. Furthermore, the reaction kinetics were calculated utilizing the second-order kinetic model, and activation energies of the forward and reverse reactions were 31.35 and 41.85 kJ·mol–1, respectively. Under the optimization reaction conditions, OE was efficiently synthesized, indicating a significant potential for industrial applications.

This study investigated the adsorption performance of methylene blue using Ca(OH) 2 -modified biochar derived from agricultural and forestry wastes. The results showed that the modified rice straw biochar with 20% Ca(OH) 2 addition paralyzed at 500 °C exhibited the best adsorption performance for methylene blue. The adsorption data were fitted with four kinetic models and four isothermal adsorption models. Among which, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isothermal model were the best fit, with high correlation coefficient of more than 0.99. The adsorption capacity of Langmuir fitting was 333.3 mg g −1 , which was 12.5 times higher than that for pristine rice straw biochar. The high adsorption capacity was maintained in a wide range of initial pH value of 4–12. SEM-EDX, organic element, surface structure, FTIR and XRD analysis indicated that Ca(OH) 2 modification significantly increased the polarity (higher O/C value), Ca content and the number of oxygen-containing functional groups (C-O and CO 3 2 − ) for pristine rice straw biochar, thereby substantially enhancing and improving the chemical adsorption of methylene blue. The adsorption mechanism involved for methylene blue included functional groups complexation, electrostatic interaction, ion exchange (mainly Ca 2＋ ) and π – π stacking. This study demonstrated that the modified rice straw biochar, as green and environmentally friendly raw material with cost-effectiveness, exhibited a great potential for broad application prospective subject to remediating printing and dyeing-contaminated wastewater.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2), resulting in a serious burden on public health and social economy worldwide. SARS-CoV-2 infection is mainly initialized in the nasopharyngeal cavity through the binding of viral spike (S) protein to human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) receptors which are widely expressed in many human cells. Thus, blockade of the interaction between viral S protein and hACE2 receptor in the primary entry site is a promising prevention strategy for the management of COVID-19. Here we showed protein microparticles (PMPs) decorated with hACE2 could bind and neutralize SARS-CoV-2 S protein-expressing pseudovirus (PSV) and protect host cells from infection in vitro. In the hACE2 transgenic mouse model, administration of intranasal spray with hACE2-decorated PMPs markedly decreased the viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in the lungs though the inflammation was not attenuated significantly. Our results provided evidence for developing functionalized PMPs as a potential strategy for preventing emerging air-borne infectious pathogens, such as SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Acrylamide (AA) and ochratoxin A (OTA) are contaminants that co-exist in the same foods, and may create a serious threat to human health. However, the combined effects of AA and OTA on intestinal epithelial cells remain unclear. The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of AA and OTA individually and collectively on Caco-2 cells. The results showed that AA and OTA significantly inhibited Caco-2 cell viability in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, decreased transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) values, and increased the lucifer yellow (LY) permeabilization, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. In addition, the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α increased, while the levels of IL-10 decreased after AA and OTA treatment. Western blot analysis revealed that AA and OTA damaged the intestinal barrier by reducing the expression of the tight junction (TJ) protein. The collective effects of AA and OTA exhibited enhanced toxicity compared to either single compound and, for most of the intestinal barrier function indicators, AA and OTA combined exposure tended to produce synergistic toxicity to Caco-2 cells. Overall, this research suggests the possibility of toxic reactions arising from the interaction of toxic substances present in foodstuffs with those produced during processing.Keywords:acrylamide;ochratoxin A;Caco-2 cells;tight junction;interactive effects

The achievement of highly active and stable piezocatalysts is still challenging for the efficient transformation of mechanical energy to chemical energy. Herein various SnOxHy species were prepared by a simple precipitation–thermal treatment method and applied for the piezocatalytic degradation of tricyclazole. It is found that the catalytic activity depended on the thermal treatment and follows the order SnO(OH)2 (80 °C) > SnO2.55H1.1 (200 °C) > SnO2.3H0.6 (300 °C) > SnO2.22H0.24 (400 °C) > SnO2 (500 °C) > rutile SnO2 (800 °C). SnO(OH)2 (80 °C) boosted the degradation of tricyclazole and the reaction constant reached as high as 0.0354 min−1, 7.1 fold that of SnO2 (800 °C). The differences among these SnOxOHy piezocatalysts mainly stemmed from the dissimilarity of the relative content of SnO(OH)2. In addition to the Sn–O piezoelectric motif, SnO(OH)2 had rich hydrogen bond networks, which work like molecular springs under external pressure. Due to such a special structure, SnO(OH)2 had not only a super high piezoelectric constant (d33) of 409.1 pm V−1 among the currently reported piezomaterials, but also a 0.49 eV-higher valence band than SnO2, being beneficial to the generation of stronger oxidative ˙OH. This is the first example of inorganic hydrogen-bonded piezomaterials, which opens a new window to develop advanced piezocatalysts for highly efficient degradation of refractory pollutants by piezocatalysis.

1-(2-Hydoxyethyl)-piperidine (1-(2HE)-PP) is a new tertiary amine with desirable properties and can be potentially used to formulate superior absorbents for CO 2 capture. The equilibrium CO 2 solubility of 1-(2HE)-PP solution is measured over temperatures from 298 to 333 K, CO 2 partial pressures from 8.1 to 101.3 kPa and initial amine concentrations from 1 to 5 M. Two thermodynamic models, namely semiempirical model and activity coefficient model are developed for the system. The activity coefficient model shows better estimation solubility with an absolute average relative deviation (AARD) of 7.6%. In the comparison between the two models, a comprehensive analysis is presented. Some suggestions are provided for the similar model development. In addition, the speciation plot of CO 2 loaded 1-(2HE)-PP solution is predicted based on the activity coefficient model. The predictive pH values agree well with experimental data with AARD of 1.0%. Finally, the potential of 1-(2-HE)PP to be an alternative amine in CO 2 capture is evaluated.

3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one compounds (DHPMs) possess extensive biological activities and are mainly prepared via Biginelli reaction and N-alkylation. In the present study, selective alkylation of N1was investigated by using tetrabutylammonium hydroxide. In vitro cytotoxicity study on all synthesized compounds demonstrated that introduction of the aryl chain in the R3as well as the low electron-donating group in the R1of DHPMs contributed to the anti-proliferative potency. A larger value of the partition coefficient (Log P) and suitable polar surface area (PSA) values were both found to be important in order to maintain the antitumor activity. The results from in vivo study indicated the great potential of compound3dto serve as a lead compound for novel anti-tumor drugs to treat glioma. Pharmacophore study regarding the structure-activity relations of DHPMs were also conducted. Our results here could provide a guide for the design of novel bioactive 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one compounds.Keywords:3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones;N1-alkylation;structure-activity relationship;in vivo experiments;anticancer activities

Two novel chiral 3,4-dihydro-2 H -thieno[3,4- b ][1,4]dioxepine (ProDOT)-based electrochemical sensor , employing a pair of glassy carbon electrodes modified with chiral poly(2-Phenyl-propionic acid 3,4-dihydro-2 H -thieno[3,4- b ][1,4]dioxepin-3-ylmethyl ester) (PProDTM-PP), were utilized for the enantioselective detection of chiral 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). The enantioselective recognition between chiral PProDTM-PP modified glassy carbon electrodes and chiral DOPA was studied by using different electrochemical technologies. The redox activity and electrochemical stability of chiral PProDTM-PP was good. ( R )-PProDTM-PP and ( S )-PProDTM-PP showed higher peak current responses toward D -DOPA and L -DOPA, respectively. Furthermore, the recognition efficiencies of chiral PProDTM-PP are between 1.48 and 1.89, which is higher than chiral PEDOT-based electrochemical sensors (around 1.10). The chiral PProDTM-PP provides an alternative to chiral recognition.

Cobalt hydroxide nanosheets/ruthenium oxide (Co(OH) 2 /RuO 2 ) nanocomposite on nickel foam was successfully synthesized via a simple electrodeposition process as an advanced supercapacitor electrode material. The microscopy studies reveal that RuO 2 nanoparticles are loaded uniformly on interconnected Co(OH) 2 nanosheets forming a three-dimensional (3D) network. The performance optimization of composite is come true through adjusting deposition time of RuO 2 nanoparticles. The electrochemical tests indicate that the optimized Co(OH) 2 /RuO 2 nanocomposite displays excellent super-capacitive properties. The specific capacitance is up to 2168 F g −1 as the current density is 1 A g −1 . Compared with the pure Co(OH) 2 and RuO 2 , the capacitance of the Co(OH) 2 /RuO 2 composite increases by 57% and 80%, respectively. The capacitance maintains at 86.0% after 5000 charging and discharging loops at the constant current density of 5 A g −1 , while the pure Co(OH) 2 only maintains 71.7% of the original capacitance after 5000 loops. The asymmetric capacitor assembled using Co(OH) 2 /RuO 2 nanocomposite as positive electrode and activated carbon (AC) as negative electrode exhibits a high energy density of 58.4 W h kg −1 at a power density of 1.2 kW kg −1 . The good pseudocapacitance behavior of the Co(OH) 2 /RuO 2 composite is mainly in virtue of the good synergies between Co(OH) 2 and RuO 2 insuring large surface area, rich electrochemical reactive sites, the short diffusion pathways of ions and good electroconductivity during the charge-discharge process.
