In order to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the properties of tetrahydrotricyclopentadiene (THTCPD) as a potential candidate for high-energy-density hydrocarbon fuels, the density and viscosity of binary mixtures comprising THTCPD and four representative hydrocarbons─n-dodecane, methylcyclohexane, decalin, and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene─were experimentally determined under conditions of T = (293.15 to 343.15) K and atmospheric pressure p = 0.1 MPa. At a constant temperature, both density and viscosity exhibited continuous increases with the rising molar fraction of THTCPD in the binary systems. Furthermore, the excess molar volume (VmE) and viscosity deviation (Δη) of these binary systems were calculated and subsequently fitted by using the Redlich–Kister equation. With the exception of the THTCPD + 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene system, the VmE values for all other systems were negative, with their absolute values increasing as the temperature rose. The Δη values for all systems were also negative, and their absolute values decreased significantly with increasing temperature. These findings are interpreted in terms of intermolecular interactions and structural effects, providing critical reference data for the development of high-energy-density hydrocarbon fuels.

Background: Regulatory dendritic cell (DCreg) subset exhibits a unique capacity for inducing immune tolerance among the variety subsets of dendritic cells (DCs) within gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALTs). Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (FLT3L) is involved in the differentiation of DCregs and the subsequent expansion of regulatory T-cells (Tregs) mediated by DCregs, though the precise mechanism remains poorly understood. This study aimed to explore the expansion mechanism of Treg induced by DCreg and the role of FLT3L in this process. Methods: DCregs were distinguished from other DC subsets isolated from GALTs of BALB/c mice through a mixed lymphocyte reaction assay. The functions and mechanisms by which FLT3L promoted Treg expansion via DCregs were investigated in vitro through co-culture experiments involving DCregs and either CD4 + CD25 − T-cells or CD4 + CD25 + T-cells. Additionally, an in vivo experiment was conducted using a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis model in mice. Results: CD103 + CD11b + DC exhibited DCreg-like functionality and was identified as DCreg for subsequent investigation. Analysis of Foxp3 + Treg percentages within a co-culture system of CD4 + CD25 − T-cells and DCregs, with or without FLT3L, demonstrated the involvement of the FLT3/FLT3L axis in driving the differentiation of precursor T-cells into Foxp3 + Tregs induced by DCregs. Cell migration and co-culture assays revealed that the FLT3/FLT3L axis enhanced DCreg migration toward Tregs via the Rho pathway. Additionally, it was observed that DCregs could promote Treg proliferation through the Notch pathway, as inhibition of Notch signaling by DAPT (N-[N-(3,5-difluorophenacetyl)-l-alanyl]-S-phenylglycine t-butyl ester) suppressed Treg expansion within the co-culture system of DCregs and CD4 + T-cells or CD4 + CD25 + T-cells. Furthermore, the FLT3/FLT3L axis influenced JAG1 expression in DCregs, indirectly modulating Treg expansion. In vivo experiments further established that FLT3L promoted DCreg expansion and restored Treg balance in DSS-induced colitis models, thereby ameliorating colitis symptoms in mice. Conclusion: The FLT3/FLT3L axis is integral to the maintenance of DCreg function in Treg expansion.

While interferon-alpha (IFN-α) demonstrates potent antineoplastic activity against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but many patients have a low response rate and may even develop resistance to it. It is necessary to find new strategies to reduce IFN-α resistance and improve its efficacy. RAR-related orphan receptor gamma t (RORγt) agonists exhibit dual immunomodulatory functions, demonstrating both immunosuppression-reducing and immune-activating properties. In this study, we demonstrated that the combination of the RORγt agonist-LYC-55716 and IFN-α significantly promoted cytotoxic T cell 17 (Tc17 cell) differentiation and interleukin-17a (I1-17a) expression through activation of the Akt/Stat3 signal pathway. The combination therapy markedly enhanced the tumoricidal activity of differentiated Tc17 cells against hepatoma carcinoma cells. Moreover, this therapeutic strategy showed superior antitumor efficacy in multiple HCC models while maintaining a favorable safety profile compared to single-agent treatment. Importantly, our findings revealed that the combination treatment significantly enhanced CD8 + T cells infiltration into tumor tissues. Moreover, our mechanistic studies revealed that the observed synergistic antitumor effect was mediated by enhanced CD8 + T cell tumor infiltration, which was facilitated by the C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 (Cxcl10)- C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 3 (Cxcr3) interaction. Collectively, these findings support a novel immunoregulatory strategy that leverages RORγt agonists to enhance the efficacy of IFN-α in HCC therapy

In this study, the fibrillation of hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) in the absence and presence of different concentrations of silybin was studied by thioflavin T spectroscopy, Congo red binding assays, 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS) fluorescence assay, circular dichroism, and transmission electron microscopy. The experimental results indicated that not only the fibrillation of HEWL at high temperature (65°C) and low pH (pH = 2.0) could be inhibited effectively by silybin but also the inhibition of HEWL by silybin followed a dose-dependent manner. Molecular docking studies indicated that 2 possible binding modes could be found in the interaction between silybin and HEWL via van der Waals forces and electrostatic forces as well as hydrogen bonding. One of these 2 conformations was directly entered into the cavity of HEWL (binding site I); the other was bound to the surface of HEWL (binding site II). In this way, silybin could not only increase the hydrophobicity of the cavity or the surface of HEWL but also influence the microenvironment of the binding site, which was able to stabilize the structure of HEWL and delay the process of HEWL fibrosis.

Although iron is required for cell proliferation, iron-dependent programmed cell death serves as a critical barrier to tumor growth and metastasis. Emerging evidence suggests that iron-mediated lipid oxidation also facilitates immune eradication of cancer. However, the regulatory mechanisms of iron metabolism in cancer remain unclear. Here we identify OTUD1 as the deubiquitinase of iron-responsive element-binding protein 2 (IREB2), selectively reduced in colorectal cancer. Clinically, downregulation of OTUD1 is highly correlated with poor outcome of cancer. Mechanistically, OTUD1 promotes transferrin receptor protein 1 (TFRC)-mediated iron transportation through deubiquitinating and stabilizing IREB2, leading to increased ROS generation and ferroptosis. Moreover, the presence of OTUD1 promotes the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which in turn recruits the leukocytes and strengthens host immune response. Reciprocally, depletion of OTUD1 limits tumor-reactive T-cell accumulation and exacerbates colon cancer progression. Our data demonstrate that OTUD1 plays a stimulatory role in iron transportation and highlight the importance of OTUD1-IREB2-TFRC signaling axis in host antitumor immunity.

Detrimental tumor microenvironment (TME) relies on distorted tumor vasculature for further tumor expansion. Vascular normalization therapy partly improves TME through vessel repairing, while these therapies enter an unbreakable Möbius ring due to each attempt hindered by pro-angiogenic factors from TME, leading to limited duration and extent of vascular normalization. Here, we developed a nanosystem including FLG and MAR/MPA nanodrugs to regulate both tumor vasculature and TME. FLG nanodrugs were constructed by connecting VEGF/VEGFR2 inhibitory low molecular weight heparin and gambogic acid with F3 peptide decoration for directly regulating on vascular endothelial cells and inducing vascular normalization. Meanwhile, MAR/MPA nanodrugs encapsulating CCL5/CCR5 blocker maraviroc were designed to restrict cytokine functions of angiogenesis and TME deterioration, contributing to vasculature repairing and TME reconstruction. Our results demonstrated this combined nanosystem synergistically induced vascular normalization window lasting 9 days and restored vascular permeability and oxygen supply in Panc-1 tumor. Furthermore, in melanoma, our nanosystem achieved immune improvements with increased infiltration of CD4 + and CD8 + T cells in a remodeled TME. The two nanodrugs assisting each other in terms of both vascular repairing and TME improvements successfully reversed the vicious crosstalk to a positive one, achieving overall TME remodeling and promoting therapeutic efficiency.

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), commonly found in beef, lamb and dairy products, has been reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory and antipruritus effects and to inhibit the release of chemical mediators such as histamine and eicosanoid in laboratory rodents. The chief objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of CLA on atopic dermatitis (AD) in mice and to explore possible mechanisms with CLA treatments . To develop a new therapy for AD, the anti-AD potential of CLA was investigated by inducing AD-like skin lesions in mice using 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene. We evaluated dermatitis severity; histopathological changes; serum levels of T helper (Th) cytokines (interferon-γ, interleukin-4); changes in protein expression by western blotting and immunohistochemistry staining for cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), toll like receptor 4 (TLR-4), myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α); and production of the proinflammatory lipid mediators, such as prostaglandin E 2 and leukotriene B4 , in the skin lesions. Treatment with CLA ameliorated the development of AD-like clinical symptoms and effectively inhibited epidermal hyperplasia and infiltration of mast cells and CD4 + T cells in the AD mouse skin. Total serum immunoglobulin E levels and the expression levels of Th1/Th2 cytokines and lipid mediators in dorsal skin were dramatically suppressed by CLA. Furthermore, CLA down-regulated the expressions of COX-2, 5-LOX, TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB and TNF-α. Taken together, our findings demonstrate the potential usefulness of CLA as an anti-inflammatory dietary supplement or drug for the prevention and management of AD skin diseases by modulating the COX-2/5-LOX and TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathways .

In this study, the data on solid–liquid equilibrium of l-prolinamide were studied using the gravimetric method. The solubility of l-prolinamide was measured in ten pure solvents (tetrahydrofuran, n-heptane, n-propanol, acetone, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, N,N-dimethylformamide, n-hexane, cyclohexane, and isopropanol) and three binary solvent mixtures(ethyl acetate + tetrahydrofuran, n-heptane + ethyl acetate, and n-hexane + acetone) in the temperature range of 278.15–323.15 K at atmospheric pressure. The experimental values showed that the solubility increased with the increase of temperature in all solvents. The solubility data in different pure solvents were fitted using the modified Apelblat model and the Buchowski–Ksiazaczak λh model. For the solubility data of three binary solvent mixtures, the modified Apelblat model, the combined nearly ideal binary solvent/Redlich–Kister (CNIBS/R–K) model, and the Jouyban–Acree model were used to fit. In all four models, the modified Apelblat model had a better correlation with the solubility of l-prolinamide weather in pure solvents or binary solvent mixtures. The experimental results showed that n-heptane and n-hexane could be used as antisolvents, which could be used in the purification process of l-prolinamide and guide the large-scale production of many drugs such as Alpelisib in industries.

Effective cancer immunotherapy relies on robust infiltration and sustained functionality of tumor-resident cytotoxic CD8 + T cells. Here we report a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-visible nanotheranostic that integrates redox modulation, inflammatory cell death, and innate immune sensitization to establish a self-amplifying pyroptosis-STING-IFN-β circuit for CD8 + T cell immunoactivation. The nanotheranostic is constructed through manganese ion (Mn 2+ )-catalyzed oxidative polymerization of polyphenols, enabling engineered reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and localized metal ion availability. Functionally, intracellular ROS triggers caspase-3-dependent gasdermin E (GSDME) cleavage and pyroptosis, while concomitant mitochondrial perturbation increases cytosolic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and sensitizes the cGAS-STING pathway to Mn 2+ -enhanced activation, resulting in IFN-β production. IFN-β further reinforces dendritic cells maturation and CD8 + T cells priming, whereas inflammatory pyroptosis amplifies mtDNA availability, together forming a self-amplifying positive-feedback circuit that magnifies antitumor immunity. In vivo , this coordinated mechanism promotes effective CD8 + T cells infiltration and memory formation. Owing to its high longitudinal relaxivity, the nanotheranostic enables clear T 1 -weighted MRI contrast with pronounced tumor accumulation and prolonged retention, supporting imaging-guided immunotherapy. This work presents a functional materials strategy that couples mechanistic immune amplification with diagnostic imaging, offering a conceptual framework for translatable immunotheranostics.

In this work, an ultrasensitive electrochemical sensor towards quantitative detection of acetaminophen (AP) based on hybrid of metallic 1 T and semiconductive 2H phase molybdenum disulfide (1 T/2H MoS 2 ) anchored on rGO sensing platform was constructed. The XRD, FESEM, FETEM and XPS analysis indicates that nanoflowers 1 T/2H MoS 2 with walnut-like fold structure were in-situ loaded onto the surface of rGO nanosheets by the hydrothermal approach. The formation of stabilized 1 T MoS 2 is associated with the influence of GO. The electrochemical tests of CV, EIS and DPV show that the hybrid composite MoS 2 /rGO remarkably promoted the detecting performance owing to the increased conductivity of 1 T MoS 2 that can facilitate charge transfer kinetics, the great active sites on both basal and edge of planes of 1 T/2H MoS 2 and the synergic effect of 1 T/2H MoS 2 and rGO. After the test condition optimization, MoS 2 /rGO/GCE sensor has great electrocatalytic activity towards AP with wide linear range of 0.005–300 μM and low limit of detection of 1.7 nM (S/N = 3). Furthermore, the sensor shows excellent stability, repeatability, reproducibility and anti-interference performance. All results proved that the GO-assisted hydrothermal prepared hybrid 1 T/2H MoS 2 /rGO is promising material for electrochemical analysis.

Two novel T-shaped π-conjugated small molecules of DTNT-3DPP and DTNT(DPP-PN) 3 with 4,9-di(thiophen-2-yl)naphtho[2,3- b ]thiophene (DTNT) as the donor core and diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) as acceptor arms, in the latter case incorporating phenanthrene (PN) units, have been designed and synthesized. The effects of the central core and terminal units on the optical, thermal, electrochemical, and photovoltaic properties have been investigated. It was found that DTNT-3DPP and DTNT(DPP-PN) 3 exhibit better light-harvesting and charge-transport properties than triphenylamine (TPA)-based star-shaped molecules. DTNT-3DPP and DTNT(DPP-PN) 3 were used as donor materials and methyl [6,6]-phenyl-C 71 -butyrate (PC 71 BM) as the acceptor for the fabrication of solution-processed bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells. The power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of solar cells based on DTNT-3DPP and DTNT(DPP-PN) 3 are 3.47 and 3.69 %, respectively. These PCEs are higher than those of the corresponding TPA-based solar cells (1.91 and 3.67 %). Our work indicates that the planar DTNT unit can improve the photovoltaic properties of organic small molecules relative to those of the TPA unit. Graphical Two novel T-shaped π-conjugated small molecules (SMs) based on 4,9-di(thiophen-2-yl)naphtho[2,3- b ]thiophene as the donor core and diketopyrrolopyrrole as acceptor arms have been synthesized. The SMs exhibit better light-harvesting and charge-transport properties than triphenylamine-based molecules. The power conversion efficiencies of solar cells based on the two SMs are 3.47 and 3.69 %.

Photocatalysis water treatment without artificial energy is cost-effective, waste-free and sustainable. Coventional powder photocatalysts have tiny contact surfaces, low catalytic efficiency, and are difficult to recycle and reuse, restricting their usage. Herein, a Lignin@t-FeC 2 O 4 /g-C 3 N 4 material is developed by engineering hollow quadrangle t-FeC 2 O 4 and g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets on lignin membranes through facile impregnation coating and precipitation reaction. Fast mass transport, catalytic activity and accessibility characterize hollow tetragonal FeC 2 O 4 · 2H 2 O. TEM, SEM and FTIR show that lignin binds t-FeC 2 O 4 and g-C 3 N 4 . The g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets are uniformly wrapped on the surface of lignin fibers, and t-FeC 2 O 4 is loaded between them. This structure increases visible light absorption and active site-contaminant contact. The chain reaction produces extremely active hydroxyl radicals from hydrogen peroxide because the Lignin@t-FeC 2 O 4 /g-C 3 N 4 modules are rich inFe II , according to XPS. Transient photocurrent response curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy suggest a promoted charge migration and isolation at the redox reaction interface in the Lignin@t-FeC 2 O 4 /g-C 3 N 4 system. As a result, Lignin@t-FeC 2 O 4 /g-C 3 N 4 degrades 99% Rhodamine B within 40 minutes, and this performance is stable even under difficult conditions, such as low hydrogen peroxide concentration and high pH. This study combines lignin membranes with the photo-Fenton reaction, and thus provides new concept for the development and application of membranes and photocatalysis.
