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.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in China. Glypican-3 (GPC3) is a specific antigen related to HCC, which is widely used in clinical detection as a reliable marker of HCC. In this paper, a highly sensitive homogeneous apatasensor was designed for GPC3 detection based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) where the GPC3 aptamer labelled gold carbon dots (AuCDs-GPC3 Apt ) are used as a donor and magnetic graphene oxide (Fe 3 O 4 /GO) nanosheets are used as an acceptor. A one-step hydrothermal method was used to synthesize AuCDs to provide sufficient fluorescence. The FRET phenomenon exists between AuCDs-GPC3 Apt and Fe 3 O 4 /GO, which weakens the fluorescence intensity of the whole system. When the target GPC3 is added to the FRET system, the fluorescent AuCDs-GPC3 Apt binds to the GPC3 and forms a folded structure, which leads to AuCDs-GPC3 Apt separation from Fe 3 O 4 /GO nanosheets. The Fe 3 O 4 /GO is then magnetically separated so that the fluorescence of free labelled AuCDs-GPC3 Apt is restored. Under the optimum conditions, the fluorescence recovery rate is linearly correlated with the concentration of GPC3 (5–100 ng·mL −1 ) and the detection limit is 3.01 ng·mL −1 (S/N = 3). This strategy shows recoveries from 98.76 to 101.29% in real human serum samples and provides an immediate and effective detection method for the quantification of GPC3 with great potential applications for early diagnosis of HCC. Graphical abstract A sensitive homogeneous FRET-based apatasensor was designed for GPC3 detection where the AuCDs-GPC3 Apt is a donor and Fe 3 O 4 /GO nanosheets are an acceptor. The GPC3 fluorescent aptasensor combines wider output range with low cost, high specificity, and good anti-interference.

Background Therapy with genetically modified mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has clinical translation promise. Optimizing the targeting migratory ability of MSCs relies on accurate imaging of the distribution and extravasation kinetics of MSCs, and the corresponding imaging results could be used to predict therapeutic outcomes and guide the optimization of the treatment program. Among the different imaging modalities, second near-infrared (NIR-II) optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM) has merits, including a fine resolution, a deep penetration, a high sensitivity, and a large signal-to-background ratio. It would be an ideal candidate for precise monitoring of MSCs, although it has not been tested for this purpose so far. Results Penetrating peptide-decorated conjugated polymer nanoparticles (TAT-CPNPs) with strong NIR-II absorbance were used to label chemokine-receptor genetically modified MSCs, which were subsequently evaluated under intravital NIR-II OR-PAM regarding their targeting migratory ability. Based on the upregulation of chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 10 in the inflamed ears of contact hypersensitivity mice, MSCs with overexpression of corresponding receptor, chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 3 (Cxcr3) were successfully generated (MSC Cxcr3 ). TAT-CPNPs labeling enabled NIR-II photoacoustic imaging to discern MSC Cxcr3 covered by 1.2 cm of chicken breast tissue. Longitudinal OR-PAM imaging revealed enhanced inflammation-targeting migration of MSC Cxcr3 over time attributed to Cxcr3 gene modification, which was further validated by histological analysis. Conclusions TAT-CPNPs-assisted NIR-II PA imaging is promising for monitoring distribution and extravasation kinetics of MSCs, which would greatly facilitate optimizing MSC-based therapy.

Iridium (Ir) complexes have gained remarkable development momentum as candidates for electrochemiluminescence , but their poor solubility in water media greatly limited their application in ECL area. Herein, a facile nanoprecipitation method by encapsulating tris(2-phenylpyridinato)iridium (Ir(ppy) 3 ) into pluronic block copolymers for preparing water-soluble Ir(III) complexes with high ECL emission efficiency was developed. Then, with F-127@Ir(ppy) 3 as the anode emitter and g-C 3 N 4 as the cathode emitter, a new ratiometric biosensor based on transition metal complexes was developed for the first time, which was used for ultra-sensitive detection of hepatitis C virus E2 protein. Notably, the ratiometric ECL signal could be mediated by using multifunctional Nb 2 C nanosheets (Nb 2 C NSs) with excellent electrocatalytic activity and superoxide dismutase activity, so as to enhance the ECL intensity of anode and quench the response of cathode ECL. Combining Nb 2 C NSs with the antibody and the specific recognition process, the proposed ECL ratio biosensor showed good performance for E2 with a linear range from 1 × 10 −3 ng/mL to 1 × 10 2 ng/mL and a detection limit of 8.39 × 10 −4 ng/mL. The work on designing water-soluble Ir (III) complexes with pluronic block copolymer provides an ingenious approach to broaden the application of poorly soluble complexes in bioassays.

Pseudomonas fragi is primarily responsible for the spoilage of various foods, especially meat. The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial mechanism of 3-carene against P. fragi . 3-Carene treatment decreased the phospholipid content and the fluidity of the cell membrane, induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and affected respiratory chain dehydrogenase, oxoglutarate dehydrogenase and citrate synthase in P. fragi . Metabolomics and proteomics analyses further showed that in the presence of 3-carene, 519 proteins, 136 metabolites in positive ion mode and 100 metabolites in negative ion mode were differentially expressed. These proteins and metabolites were primarily involved in amino acid metabolism, fatty acid degradation, the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle) and other processes. Consequently, the stimulation of 3-carene altered cell membrane properties, disturbed important amino acid and energy metabolism, and even caused oxidative stress. Additionally, the results of total viable counts and the total volatile base nitrogen indicated that 3-carene could significantly improve the preservation of refrigerated pork. This study suggested that 3-carene has promising potential to be developed as a food preservative.

The objective of this study was to prepare Herceptin-functionalized SK-BR-3 cell membrane-wrapped paclitaxel nanocrystals (HCNCs) as a targeted delivery module for HER2-positive breast cancer. According to transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images, HCNCs presented a membrane-coated cubic shape with a particle size of approximately 220 nm. In vitro release test suggested that HCNCs had a certain sustained release effect of paclitaxel (PTX). Cell uptake experiments, in vivo imaging, and tissue distribution experiments demonstrated that HCNCs had excellent targeting ability to homologous tumor cells (SK-BR-3). The results of MTT, flow cytometry, Western blot, cell immunofluorescence staining, and in vivo antitumor experiments proved that HCNCs had a more significant ability to promote HER2-positive breast cancer cell apoptosis and inhibit its proliferation. These results clearly concluded that HCNCs were a promising nano-targeted preparation in anti-HER2-positive breast cancer.

The convenient modification of transition metal and the simultaneous adjustment of energy band are effective measures to improve the photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide but remains challenging in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution field. Herein, In(OH) 3 -TiO 2 heterostructures were constructed by solid-state synthetic strategy under room temperature for tuning the band structure and accelerating the photoexcited charge separation to enhance the photocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution. By the quantified modification of In(OH) 3 , the obtained In(OH) 3 -TiO 2 delivers an appreciable photocatalytic activity and stability for hydrogen evolution, which is 15.7 folds superior to commercial P25. Due to the narrowed band gap, the increased charge carrier density, the restrained recombination rate of photoexcited electron-hole pairs and the accelerated photogenerated charge separation, the In(OH) 3 -TiO 2 heterostructures thereby achieve the boosted photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance. This work provides a feasible strategy to enhance the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution of TiO 2 via tuning the band gap and accelerating the photoinduced charge separation.

A novel triazine derivative, 2, 4-diamino-6-dodecamido-1, 3, 5-triazine (DT), is synthesized by the dehydration condensation of melamine and lauric acid, and its inhibitive performances for the corrosion of Q235 carbon steel in 1 mol/L HCl solution is investigated by electrochemical polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscope. The results reveal that its best inhibition efficiency reaches 96.98% at a concentration of 2.5 g/L. The calculation results of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters indicate that the adsorption of DT on carbon steel surface obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm with both physical and chemical adsorption. It is demonstrated that long-chain amide (>8C) substituted 1, 3, 5-triazine derivative has the synergistic corrosion inhibition effect of the surface fixation on metal iron and the hydrophobic adsorption layer.

The sodium super ion conductor (NASICON) structure materials have attracted extensive attention because of its open three-dimensional crystal network framework and fast sodium ion migration rate. However, the poor electronic conductivity due to the presence of phosphate groups and the consequent high cost have been a barrier to commercialization. In this work, Na 4 MnV(PO 4 ) 3 (NMVP) with three-dimensional porous structure is synthesized in situ using Aspergillus niger as a biological template (noted as NMVP/ANDC). The cell wall of Aspergillus niger is rich in hydroxyl groups , which can adsorb metal ions well, so that NMVP particles can be synthesized on Aspergillus niger without stacking and agglomeration. NMVP grows along Aspergillus niger mycelium has a spongy-like three-dimensional porous network structure, which helps the contact between active materials and electrolyte, reduces the migration distance of sodium ions, and improves the conductivity of active materials. Therefore, NMVP/ANDC has good rate performance and cycle stability. It can provide 109 mAh g −1 at 0.5 C and 79.6% capacity retention after 3000 cycles at 5 C. The biological template method is proposed in this paper opens up a simple way for the preparation of other three-dimensional porous network structural materials.

A series of perylene derivatives bearing electron-donating group (amino) and electron-withdrawing group (nitro, maleimide) at the 1- and 3-position have been synthesized. Interestingly, 3-monosubstituted perylenes shown different photophysical properties compared with 1-monosubstituted perylenes. 3-nitroperylene ( 3-NO ) attained 80.62% photoluminescence quantum yield ( Φ PL ) in toluene which is higher than 3-aminoperylene ( 3-NH , Φ PL = 71.70%) and 1-aminoperylene (1-NH, Φ PL = 48.04%), but for 1-nitroperylene ( 1-NO ), no fluorescence in any solvent were observed. The calculated ground-state geometries of 3-monosubstituted perylenes actually correspond to nearly planar structures, but the molecules substituted at the 1-position all have a twisted structure. Among them, 3-NO had a great π-conjugated system, resulting in the allowed ππ∗ fluorescence. In contrast, the twisting structure of 1-NO enhanced nonradiative decay pathways, coupled with the electron-withdrawing effect of the nitro group, which can explain the non-luminescence of 1-NO . Furthermore, the moleculars with maleimide group were used as “off-on” fluorescent probes and successfully used for imaging biothiols in living H1299 lung cancer cells. The fluorescence of probe 2 (substitutes at 3-position of perylene) afforded a 188-fold intensity increase after reaction with thiol which is much higher than (65-fold) probe 1 (substitutes at 1-position) because of the better π-conjugated structure. We envision that the investigation on the effects of substitute at 1-and 3-positions of perylene may be helpful for a rational design and application of highly fluorescent molecule base on perylene.

Background Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been associated with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Results We found that the IUGR rat model induced by prenatal caffeine exposure (PCE) showed ASD-like symptoms, accompanied by altered gut microbiota and reduced production of indole 3-propionic acid (IPA), a microbiota-specific metabolite and a ligand of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). IUGR children also had a reduced serum IPA level consistent with the animal model. We demonstrated that the dysregulated IPA/AHR/NF-κB signaling caused by disturbed gut microbiota mediated the hippocampal microglia hyperactivation and neuronal synapse over-pruning in the PCE-induced IUGR rats. Moreover, postnatal IPA supplementation restored the ASD-like symptoms and the underlying hippocampal lesions in the IUGR rats. Conclusions This study suggests that the microbiota-IPA-brain axis regulates ASD susceptibility in PCE-induced IUGR offspring, and supplementation of microbiota-derived IPA might be a promising interventional strategy for ASD with a fetal origin.

Three Cu(II) complexes of quinoline derivatives as cancer chemodynamic therapy agents were synthesized and characterized. These complexes were heavily taken up by cells and reacted with cellular glutathione (GSH) to reduce Cu 2+ to Fenton-like Cu + , which catalyzed endogenous H 2 O 2 to produce the highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) to kill cancer cells. Cu1 and Cu2 initiated CAT activity declines, mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP concentration decrease, mitochondrial Ca 2+ overload and ER stress response, leading to cell cycle arrest in sub-G1 and cancer cell caspase-dependent apoptosis . On account of the high GSH and H 2 O 2 specific properties of the tumor microenvironment , Cu1 and Cu2 exhibited higher in vitro anticancer activity and lower toxicity to normal cells. Cu1 and Cu2 efficiently inhibited tumor growth in the SK-OV-3 xenograft mouse model without obvious systemic toxicity.
