Jumonji domain-containing proteins (JMJDs) play an important role in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Aberrant regulation of histone modification has been observed in the progression of a variety of diseases, such as neurological disorders and cancer. Therefore, discovery of selective modulators of JMJDs is very attractive in new drug discovery. Herein, a simple capillary electrophoresis (CE) method was developed for screening of inhibitors against JMJD3. A known JMJD3 inhibitor GSK-J1, 5-carboxyfluorescein labeled substrate peptide with an amino acid sequence of KAPRKQLATKAARK(me3)SAPATGG (truncated from histone H3), as well as a small chemical library composed of 37 purified natural compounds and 30 natural extracts were used for method development and validation. The separation of substrate from its demethylated product was achieved by addition of polycation hexadimethrine bromide (HDB) in the running buffer. The enzyme activity was thus assayed accurately through separating the demethylated product from the substrate and then measuring the peak area of the product. The enzyme inhibition can be read out by comparing the peak area of the demethylated product obtained in the present of inhibitors and that of the negative control in the absence of any inhibitor. The merit of the method is proved by discovering two new JMJD3 inhibitors: salvianic acid A and puerarin 6′’-O-xyloside.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are considered to be promising materials for drug delivery. In this work, a Zinc-based MOF nanocomposite IRMOF-3 was introduced as a drug carrier for 10-hydroxycamptothecine (HCPT). Without an extra drug-loading process, a nanoscale drug delivery material HCPT@IRMOF-3 was prepared via one-pot synthesis. The composition and structure of the material were investigated, and the drug release character was measured. Compared with preparing IRMOF-3 first and loading the drug, the one-pot-prepared HCPT@IRMOF-3 exhibited a higher drug-loading capacity. The material presented pH-responsive release. The HCPT release rate at pH 5.0 was significantly higher than that at pH 7.4. The cytotoxicity experiments showed that IRMOF-3 was non-toxic, and HCPT@IRMOF-3 exhibited notable cytotoxicity to Hela and SH-SY5Y cells. One-pot synthesis is a simple and rapid method for the preparation of an MOF drug delivery system, and IRMOF-3 can be potentially used in pH-responsive drug delivery systems.Keywords:IRMOF-3;drug delivery;one pot;pH response;HCPT

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease, characterized by a lipid accumulated plaque. Anti-oxidative and anti-inflammation as well as lipid metabolism promoting therapeutic strategies have been applied for atherosclerosis treatment. However, the therapeutic effect by a single therapeutic method is limited. Combination of the two strategies could for one thing prevent lipid accumulation cause by inflammation and oxidative stress, for another thing promote lipid efflux from atherosclerotic plaque, to normalize arteries maximumly. Hence, a multifunctional liposome co-encapsulating an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory drug epigallocatechin-3-gallate(EGCG) as well as a lipid-efflux promoting gene miR-223 was established. The system (lip@EGCG/miR-223) could encapsulate miR-223 in core areas of the liposomes to provide an effective protective effect for gene drugs. Moreover, lip@EGCG/miR-223 was smaller in size (91.28±2.28 nm characterized by DLS), making it easier to target to AS lesions which had a smaller vascular endothelial spaces. After internalized into cellular efficiently, lip@EGCG/miR-223 exhibited excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in vitro by eliminating overproduced ROS and decreasing the level of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β and MCP-1), which is due to the effect of EGCG. Besides, the lipid-efflux promoting protein ABCA1 was up-regulated when treated with lip@EGCG/miR-223. By the two therapies mentioned, lip@EGCG/miR-223 could effectively inhibit the formation of foam cells, which is a main component of atherosclerotic plaques. In AS model mice, after intravenous (i.v.) administration, lip@EGCG/miR-223 was effectively accumulated in atherosclerotic plaques, and the distribution of drugs in heart and aorta to that in kidney was significantly increased when compared with free drugs (the ratio was 6.27% for free miR-223 treated group, and was increased to 66.10% for lip@EGCG/miR-223 treated group.). By decreasing inflammation level and lipid accumulation, the arterial vessels in AS were normalized with less macrophages and micro-angiogenesis when treated with lip@EGCG/miR-223. Overall, this study demonstrates lip@EGCG/miR-223 can be developed as a potential system for atherosclerosis treatment by a combined treatment of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and lipid-efflux promoting effects, which provides a novel strategy for safe and efficient management of atherosclerosis.

N,N′-Bis(3-pyridyl)methanediamine was prepared by treating 3-aminopyridine with formaldehyde in acetonitrile. By treating it with formaldehyde, the eight-membered heterocyclic ring compound 1,3,5,7-tetra(3-pyridyl)-1,3,5,7-tetrazacyclooctane was prepared. This could occur in a two-step manner in a [3+1+3+1] cycloaddition reaction. The compounds were characterized by X-ray crystallography, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. The powder XRD pattern of 1,3,5,7-tetra(3-pyridyl)-1,3,5,7-tetrazacyclooctane was also determined and revealed an uncommon twist-crown conformation, which was further confirmed by DFT calculations.

3-Hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) is a top value-added chemical with multifaceted application in chemical, material, and food field. However, limited availability of robust strains and elevated fermentation costs currently impose constraints on sustainable biosynthesis of 3-HP. Herein, transporter engineering, metabolic dynamic modulation, and enzyme engineering were combined to address above limitations. First, a glucose-utilizing 3-HP biosynthetic pathway was constructed in Escherichia coli , followed by recruiting alternative glucose transport system to overcome center metabolism overflow. Next, the Cra (a transcription factor)-dependent switch was applied to autonomously fine-tune carbon flux, which alleviated growth retardation and improved the 3-HP production. Subsequently, inactivation of glycerol facilitator (GlpF) increased intracellular glycerol levels and boosted 3-HP biosynthesis, but caused toxic intermediate 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde (3-HPA) accumulation. Furthermore, semi-rational design of aldehyde dehydrogenase (YdcW) increased its activity and eliminated 3-HPA accumulation. Finally, fed-batch fermentation of the final strain resulted in 52.73 g/L 3-HP, with a yield of 0.59 mol/mol glucose.

Two major challenges in photocatalysis are the separation and utilization of photogenerated charge carriers that have limited their wider applications. To address these issues, significant studies have been devoted to the surface modification of photocatalysts. Herein, CdS nanorods were surface-modified by an ion-conducting LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (LTP) shell. This modification could accelerate the rapid separation and efficient utilization of photoinduced charge carriers. Therefore, CdS@LTP composite photocatalyst displayed a photocatalytic H 2 evolution rate of 26.01 mmol g −1 h −1 without any addition of cocatalysts in a Na 2 S/Na 2 SO 3 solution, which was over 6-fold compared to CdS, and showed improved stability. Furthermore, this shell can prevent the reverse reactions between H 2 and O 2 during photocatalytic water splitting. With the photo-deposition of Pt cocatalysts, CdS@LTP-Pt can achieve efficient overall water splitting with the highest H 2 generation rate (351 μmol g −1 h −1 ), which is 3.25 times higher than that of CdS-Pt. This study broadens the application of ionic conductor materials and provides a new way for the design of advanced photocatalysts for solar energy conversion.

Sodium superionic conductor (NASICON) structured polyanionic materials have recently attracted great attention for robust crystal structures. However, inherent properties of NASICON presents poor electrical conductivity and low energy density. Herein, non-stoichiometric synthesized strategy is used for acquiring N 3.5 MTP, effectively suppressing voltage hysteresis. Besides, as-fabricated N 3.5 MTP grains in-situ grow on MXene-rGO aerogels by sol–gel synthesis approach obtaining N 3.5 MTP@MXene-rGO. MXene-rGO aerogel as an excellent conductive matrix can effectively avoid agglomeration of Na 3.5 MnTi(PO 4 ) 3 particles and alleviate volume change of the lattice during sodium ion intercalation/deintercalation. Moreover, cross-linked network of N 3.5 MTP@MXene-rGO provides fast electron transfer and ion transport rates. The above synergistic effect and contribution of pseudocapacitance make it an excellent discharge capacity of 189 mA h g −1 at 50 mA g −1 for N 3.5 MTP@MXene-rGO, long cycles of 5000 cycles, as well as 98 mA g −1 at −30 °C (50 mA g −1 ). Prospectively, this study provides an effective strategy for improving electrochemical performance of NASICON-type cathode for sodium batteries.

The inherent single narrow emission peak and fast anion exchange process of cesium lead halide perovskite CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) nanocrystals severely limited its application in white light-emitting diodes. Previous studies have shown that composite structures can passivate surface defects of NCs and improve the stability of perovskite materials, but complex post-treatment processes commonly lead to dissolution of NCs. In this study, CsPb(Cl/Br)3 NCs was in-situ grown in TiO2 hollow shells doped with Eu3+ ions by a modified thermal injection method to prepare CsPb(Cl/Br)3/TiO2:Eu3+ composites with direct excitation of white light without additional treatment. Among them, the well-crystalline TiO2 shells acted as both a substrate for the dopant, avoiding the direct doping of Eu3+ into the interior of NCs to affect the crystal structure of the perovskite materials, and also as a protection layer to isolate the contact between PL quenching molecules and NCs, which significantly improves the stability. Further, the WLED prepared using the composites had bright white light emission, luminous efficiency of 87.39 lm/W, and long-time operating stability, which provided new options for the development of perovskite devices.

3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) is a food-process toxic substance, and its main target organ is the kidney. The present study examined and characterized the nephrotoxicity and the lipidomic mechanisms in a model of kidney injury in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats treated with high (45 mg/kg) and low (30 mg/kg) doses of 3-MCPD. The results showed that the ingestion of 3-MCPD led to a dose-dependent increase in serum creatinine and urea nitrogen levels and histological renal impairment. The oxidative stress indicators (MDA, GSH, T-AOC) in the rat kidney altered in a dose-dependent manner in 3-MCPD groups. The lipidomics analysis revealed that 3-MCPD caused kidney injury by interfering with glycerophospholipid metabolism and sphingolipid metabolism. In addition, 38 lipids were screened as potential biomarkers. This study not only revealed the mechanism of 3-MCPD renal toxicity from the perspective of lipidomics but also provided a new approach to the study of 3-MCPD nephrotoxicity.Keywords:3-MCPD;nephrotoxicity;lipidomics;biomarkers;pathway

A GO/MPTS coating on a Zn coating electrodeposited on carbon steel was prepared by immersing zinc samples into suspension of graphene oxide/(3-mercaptopropyl) methyldimethoxysilane GM and then drying at 80°C. The silanol groups reacted with oxygen-containing functional groups on the GO during the hydrolysis process, and the GO was stacked layer by layer to construct a dense organic coating over the etched zinc surface. The synthesized GM coatings were characterized by FTIR, XRD, Raman spectroscopy and SEM. The corrosion behaviour of the galvanized carbon steel (GCS) and GCS coated with a GM composite coating exposed to a 3.5% NaCl solution were studied by potentiodynamic polarization and EIS. The results confirm that the GM coating can effectively protect GCS. Combined with the physical characterization of the GM-coated GSC explaines its markedly increased corrosion resistance.

Currently, cellulose-based aerogel materials are a hot topic owing to their high specific surface area and high porosity, as well as the green, degradable and biocompatible characteristics of cellulosic materials . Modification of cellulose to enhance the adsorption properties of cellulose-based aerogels has important research significance in solving the problem of water body pollution. In this paper, cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) were modified with polyethyleneimine (PEI), and modified aerogels with directional structures were prepared by a simple reaction and freeze-drying method. The adsorption behavior of the aerogel followed the adsorption kinetic models and isotherm models. More significantly, the aerogel could rapidly adsorb microplastics, reaching equilibrium within 20 min. Furthermore, the fluorescence displayed directly expresses the occurrence of the adsorption behavior of the aerogels. Therefore, the modified cellulose nanofiber aerogels were of reference significance for microplastic removal from water bodies.

Na 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 :R (R = Bi 3+ , Sm 3+ , and Sm 3+ /Bi 3+ ) are successfully synthesized in air atmosphere. The high-temperature solid-state reaction method is used in this work. The X-ray diffractometer patterns confirm that all samples have the single pure phase Na 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 . Na 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 :Bi 3+ displays blue emission because of the Bi 3+ - Sc 3+ metal-to-metal charge-transfer and the 3 P 1 → 1 S 0 transition of Bi 3+ . Na 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 :Sm 3+ shows red-orange emission with four emission bands derived from the 4 G 5/2 → 6 H 5/2 (550 - 582 nm), 6 H 7/2 (582–625 nm), 6 H 9/2 (625–675 nm), and 6 H 11/2 (675–750 nm) transitions of Sm 3+ . The optimal Sm 3+ concentration in Na 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 :Sm 3+ is ∼8mol%. An adjustable color emission from blue to red-orange of Na 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 :Sm 3+ , Bi 3+ with excitation at 345 nm can be observed when the ratio between Sm 3+ and Bi 3+ ions is changed. Na 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 :Sm 3+ , Bi 3+ emits red–orange light under excitation 406 nm. The optimal Bi 3+ concentration in Na 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 :8mol%Sm 3+ , Bi 3+ is ∼ 6mol%. The energy transfer from Bi 3+ to Sm 3+ in Na 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 :Sm 3+ , Bi 3+ is verified by the spectral properties of samples. We discuss the influences of Bi 3+ or Sm 3+ concentration on luminescence properties of samples and analyze their luminous mechanism by energy level diagram. The experimental results of paper are useful for the research of new Bi 3+ and Sm 3+ doped phosphors.
