Water-soluble captopril-capped atomically precise Pd nanoclusters (Pd17Capt8 NCs: 1.3 ± 0.5 nm) produced by a simple chemical reduction were supported on preprepared hybrid Co3Al-layered double hydroxide/reduced graphene oxide (Co3Al-LDH/rGO) by a pH-adjusted electrostatic adsorption strategy followed by proper calcinations, giving a series of novel catalysts x-PdNCs/CoAl(O)/rGO-T (x (Pd loading) = 0.09, 0.17, 0.43 wt % (ICP), T = 230, 250, 280, 300, 320 °C). The characterization results show that the as-obtained catalysts possess the hierarchical nanosheet array morphology. Pd NCs with a size of ∼1.3 to 1.8 nm are highly distributed at the edge sites of the CoAl(O) nanosheets. All of the x-PdNCs/CoAl(O)/rGO-T catalysts show superior catalytic efficiency for the conversion of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol, particularly 0.17-PdNCs/CoAl(O)/rGO-300 possesses the highest performance with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 30 042 h–1, which is the highest among the reported Pd-based catalysts so far. The superior activity of 0.17-PdNCs/CoAl(O)/rGO-300 can be owing to ultrafine Pd NCs with a clean surface, the strongest PdNCs–Co2+-OH(LDH)–rGO three-phase synergy, and the much improved adsorption of the substrate via π–π stacking upon nanosheet array morphology. Meanwhile, 0.17-PdNCs/CoAl(O)/rGO-300 exhibits excellent catalytic activities for various nitroarenes and anionic azo dyes as well as good reusability with the complete reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) within 90 s after 10 successive runs. The present work provides not only a simple and convenient strategy for the synthesis of clean, efficient, and environmentally friendly supported metal nanocluster catalysts but also a new idea for the efficient catalytic degradation of environmental pollutants.

After decades of research, multidrug resistance (MDR) remains a huge challenge in cancer treatment. In this study, the cytotoxic of 4-hydroxy-N-(naphthalen-1-yl)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxamide (MCC1734) has been investigated towards multidrug-resistant cancer cell lines. MCC1734 exerted cytotoxicity on cell lines expressing different mechanisms of drug resistance (P-glycoprotein, BCRP, ABCB5, EGFR, p53 knockout) to a different extent. Interestingly, sensitive CCRF-CEM cells and multidrug-resistant P-gp-overexpressing CEM/ADR5000 cells represented similar sensitivity towards MCC1734, indicating MCC1734 can bypass P-gp-mediated resistance. Microarray-based mRNA expression revealed that MCC1734 affected cells by multiple pathways, including cell cycle regulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis signaling, and EIF2 signaling. MCC1734 stimulated the generation of excessive reactive oxygen species and the collapse of mitochondria membrane potential in CCRF-CEM cells, companied by the arrest of the cell cycle in the G 2 M phase and apoptosis induction as determined by flow cytometry. In addition, our immunoblotting analysis highlighted that MCC1734 triggered endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, evidenced by the activation of p-PERK, p-eIF2α, ATF4 and CHOP. The anti-cancer effects of MCC1734 were further observed in vivo using human xenograft tumors transplanted to zebrafish, providing further support for MCC1734 as a promising new candidate for cancer drug development.

CCL22, which could induce chondrocyte apoptosis, was identified to be overexpressed in damaged cartilage. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effects of CCL22 interference on chondrocyte injury. The osteoarthritis model was established by stimulating chondrocytes with LPS. The expressions of CCL22, CCR4, matrix metallopeptidase (MMP) 3, MMP9, MMP13, (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin-like motifs) ADAMTS-4, collagen II and inflammatory cytokines were measured using quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blot. Besides, immunoprecipitation (IP) was employed to verify the binding of CCL22 and CCR4. After CCR4 was overexpressed, cell viability was observed using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). Additionally, cell apoptosis as well as its related proteins was detected by TUNEL and western blot, respectively. ng What’s more, glycosaminoglycan (GAG) level was detected using GAG kits. CCL22 and CCR4 expression increased noticeably in LPS-stimulated ATDC5 chondrocytes. CCL22 inhibition could suppress the expression of CCR4 in LPS-induced ATDC5 cells. Likewise, CCL22 inhibition could revive the activation of LPS-induced ATDC5 cells by regulating CCR4. In addition, CCL22 knockdown alleviated inflammatory response and cell apoptosis through CCR4. Furthermore, the cartilage degradation of ADTC5 cells could be relieved by CCL22 silence via regulating CCR4. CCL22/CCR4 expression was increased in osteoarthritic cartilage injury and participated in the inflammation and cartilage degradation of chondrocytes.

In order to inhibit the spoilage of the packaged food , a gas phase controlled-release low-density polyethylene (LDPE) film containing carvacrol loaded with halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) was prepared and studied in this work. HNTs were etched by 4 mol/L hydrochloric acid to obtain HNT-4M, which increased the carvacrol loading capacity. Then, it was characterized before and after loading with carvacrol by transmission electron microscopy , nitrogen adsorption isotherms, and thermogravimetric analysis . A new LDPE film containing carvacrol adsorbed on HNT-4M was prepared by extrusion, and the physical properties were studied. In addition, the release rate of carvacrol in the film was measured, and the antibacterial and antioxidant properties of the film were evaluated. The results showed that the carvacrol load of HNT increased from 6.7% to 24.2% after acid etching. The diffusion coefficient of carvacrol from the active film containing HNT-4 M/carvacrol was 9.546 × 10 -12 cm 2 ·s -1 , which was decreased by 57.3% compared with the films directly adding carvacrol. Moreover, according to the DPPH radical scavenging assay and micro-atmosphere diffusion antibacterial test, it was verified that carvacrol retained its antioxidant activity and antibacterial activity in the new film.

In this paper, graphite phase carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) was prepared by one-step high temperature thermal decomposition method, and layered g-C 3 N 4 was prepared by protonation with concentrated hydrochloric acid. The morphology and composition of g-C 3 N 4 were characterised by transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Furthermore, the AuNPs-g-C 3 N 4 /GCE was constructed by coating method and potentiostatic deposition method, and the construction process and resistance change of the electrodes were characterised by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The experimental results indicated that the AuNPs-g-C 3 N 4 /GCE has excellent electrocatalytic performance for bisphenol A (BPA) and 4-n-octylphenol (OP). Under optimized experimental conditions, BPA and OP were detected by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) at the AuNPs-g-C 3 N 4 /GCE. The linear ranges were 0.1–6.5 µmol L −1 and 0.1–3.8 µmol L −1 for BPA and OP, wtih the detection limits of 0.0176 µmol L −1 and 0.0324 µmol L −1 , respectively. In addition, the AuNPs-g-C 3 N 4 /GCE showed satisfactory reproducibility and stability and can be successfully applied to monitor of BPA and OP in baby formula samples.

Fe(II)/2-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase (Fe(II)/2-KG DO)-mediated hydroxylation is a critical type of C–H bond functionalization for synthesizing hydroxy amino acids used as pharmaceutical raw materials and precursors. However, DO activity requires 2-ketoglutarate (2-KG), lack of which reduces the efficiency of Fe(II)/2-KG DO-mediated hydroxylation. Here, we conducted multi-enzymatic syntheses of hydroxy amino acids. Using (2s,3r,4s)-4-hydroxyisoleucine (4-HIL) as a model product, we coupled regio- and stereo-selective hydroxylation ofl-Ile by the dioxygenase IDO with 2-KG generation from readily availablel-Glu byl-glutamate oxidase (LGOX) and catalase (CAT). In the one-pot system, H2O2significantly inhibited IDO activity and elevated Fe2+concentrations of severely repressed LGOX. A sequential cascade reaction was preferable to a single-step process as CAT in the former system hydrolyzed H2O2. We obtained 465 mM 4-HIL at 93% yield in the two-step system. Moreover, this process facilitated C–H hydroxylation of several hydrophobic aliphatic amino acids to produce hydroxy amino acids, and C–H sulfoxidation of sulfur-containingl-amino acids to yieldl-amino acid sulfoxides. Thus, we constructed an efficient cascade reaction to produce 4-HIL by providing prerequisite 2-KG from cheap and plentifull-Glu and developed a strategy for creating enzymatic systems catalyzing 2-KG-dependent reactions in sustainable bioprocesses that synthesize other functional compounds.Keywords:Fe(II)/2-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase;2-ketoglutarate generation;regio- and stereo-selective synthesis;hydroxy amino acids;sequential cascade reaction

Phenolic compounds, especially 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), and chromium (VI) are highly toxic environmental pollutants. Thus, it is significantly important to establish a rapid and sensitive sensor for 4-NP and Cr(VI) monitoring in environment. In this paper, a novel approach has been adopted where E. coli -derived CDs (CDs- WT ) prepared by one step hydrothermal method previously and sensitized by ampicillin (turn-on) were used as fluorescence nanoprobe (CDs- WT -Amp) for 4-NP and Cr(VI) determination based on the inner filter effect quenching mechanism (turn-off). Then, the quenching fluorescence was reversed by addition of ampicillin (turn-on). The linear ranges of 4-NP and Cr(VI) detection were 0–50 μ M and 0–25 μ M, with the limits of detection 88.89 nM and 64.75 nM, respectively. The “turn-on-on-off-on” fluorescent nanosensor system was successfully used to determine Cr(VI) and 4-NP in water with satisfactory results. It shows that the “turn-on-off-on” nanoprobe has great promising potential for application to environmental pollutant detection.

Limonene is an important subsidiary agricultural product obtained from orange peel that can also be prepared by microbial engineering, but its application degree of deep processing is relatively lower. By studying the application of limonene to silicone rubber, the application field of limonene has been expanded. Triethoxy (2-(4-methylcyclohex-3-en-1-yl)propyl)silane (LTES) was synthesized by a hydrosilylation reaction in the presence of Karstedt's catalyst using limonene and triethoxysilane as raw materials. FT-IR and 1 H NMR were used to determine the structure of the product (LTES). Thereafter, a series of room temperature vulcanized (RTV) silicone rubbers was modified with the LTES cross-linking agent and hydroxy silicone oil under the catalytic action of dibutyltin dilaurate. The results showed that the tensile strength , elongation at break and heat resistance of the synthetic silicone rubber modified with LTES were significantly higher.

Iron-based catalysts are widely used in peroxysulfate-based AOPs but suffering from low catalytic performance at neutral pH conditions, which limits the application in groundwater remediation. Herein, this study investigated the efficacy, mechanism and long-term durability of Fe-doped nitrogen carbon (Fe@NC) armor catalysts toward peroxysulfate activation for the degradation of anthropogenic phenolics (APs) in groundwater matrices. The results showed that nonradical activation of Oxone (i.e., HSO 5 – ) was obtained over the as-prepared Fe-3 % @NC-700 catalyst, high-valent Fe species ( Fe(IV) O) and 1 O 2 were identified as the dominant reactive species for the efficient degradation of APs by experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Notably, the DFT results indicated that HSO 5 – was favorably adsorbed on the Fe atoms owing to the electrostatic interaction, which transformed exothermically into SO 4 2– and 1 O 2 over Fe 3 C, accompanied by the generation of Fe(IV) O. Additionally, the Fe-3 % @NC-700 catalyst displayed long-term activity for in situ activation of Oxone in groundwater matrices without pH adjustment, resulting in ΔAPs: ΔOxone stoichiometry efficiencies at 4.2–5.0 % . Wheat seeds germination tests revealed that the biotoxicity of the treated water was reduced notably by the present catalytic system, which holds large potential application in treatment of APs-contaminated groundwater.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lung disease characterized by lung inflammation and excessive deposition of extracellular matrix components. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) induced epithelial–mesenchymal transformation of type 2 lung epithelial cells leads to excessive extracellular matrix deposition, which plays an important role in fibrosis. Our objective was to evaluate the effects of 3-cyclopropylmethoxy-4-(difluoromethoxy) benzoic acid (DGM) on pulmonary fibrosis and aimed to determine whether EMT plays a key role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis and whether EMT can be used as a therapeutic target for DGM therapy to reduce IPF. Firstly, stimulation of in vitro cultured A549 cells to construct EMTs with TGF-β1. DGM treatment inhibited the expression of proteins such as α-SMA, vimentin, and collagen Ⅰ and increased the expression of E-cadherin. Accordingly, Smad2/3 phosphorylation levels were significantly reduced by DGM treatment. Secondly, models of tracheal instillation of bleomycin and DGM were used to treat rats to demonstrate their therapeutic effects, such as improving lung function, reducing lung inflammation and fibrosis, reducing collagen deposition, and reducing the expression of E-cadherin. In conclusion, DGM attenuates TGF-β1-induced EMT in A549 cells and bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats.Keywords:IPF;A549;EMT;TGF-β1/Smad;ECM

The low permeability of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria is a serious obstacle to the development of new antibiotics against them. Conjugation of antibiotic with siderophore based on the “Trojan horse strategy” is a promising strategy to overcome the outer membrane obstacle. In this study, series of antibacterial agents were designed and synthesized by conjugating the 3-hydroxypyridin-4(1 H )-one based siderophores with cajaninstilbene acid ( CSA ) derivative 4 which shows good activity against Gram-positive bacteria by targeting their cell membranes but is ineffective against Gram-negative bacteria. Compared to the inactive parent compound 4 , the conjugates 45c or 45d exhibits significant improvement in activity against Gram-negative bacteria, including Escherichia coli , Klebsiella pneumoniae and especially P. aeruginosa (minimum inhibitory concentrations, MICs = 7.8–31.25 μM). The antibacterial activity of the conjugates is attributed to the CSA derivative moiety, and the action mechanism is by disruption of bacterial cell membranes. Further studies on the uptake mechanisms showed that the bacterial siderophore-dependent iron transport system was involved in the uptake of the conjugates. In addition, the conjugates 45c and 45d showed a lower cytotoxic effects in vivo and in vitro and a positive therapeutic effect in the treatment of C. elegans infected by P. aeruginosa . Overall, our work describes a new class and a promising 3-hydroxypyridin-4(1 H )-one- CSA derivative conjugates for further development as antibacterial agents against Gram-negative bacteria.
