A series of 2-amino-7-methoxy-4-aryl-4 H -chromene-3-carbonitrile compounds 2 were obtained by condensation of 3-methoxyphenol with β-dicyanostyrenes 1 in absolute ethanol containing piperidine. The intermediate enamines 3 were prepared by compounds 2 with 5-substituted-1,3-cyclohexanedione using p -toluenesuflonic acid (TsOH) as catalyst. The title compounds 11-amino-3-methoxy-8-substituted-12-aryl-8,9-dihydro-7 H -chromeno[2,3- b ]quinolin-10(12 H )-one 4 were synthesized by cyclization of the intermediate enamines 3 in THF with K 2 CO 3 /Cu 2 Cl 2 as catalyst. The structures of all compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, MS, and 1 H NMR spectra. The crystal structure of compound 4i was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

The synergistic effect of endogenous electric field and electrical stimulation (ES) has promising application in the repair and regeneration of injured peripheral nerve. Conducting polymers-based (especially polypyrrole (PPy)) nanofibers have received more attention due to the promotive effects on cell behaviors under ES. However, the conductivity of PPy is unstable and the inferior hydrophilicity hinders its broad applications. Herein, the stable conductive polylactic acid/reduced graphene oxide/polypyrrole (PLA/rGO/PPy) composite nanofibers were prepared by incorporating rGO into PLA, by the following in-situ PPy polymerized on the surface of the PLA/rGO nanofibers. The results show that PPy on the surface of composite nanofibers are dense and continuous, the wettability is significantly improved. With the presence of PPy and rGO, the conductivity and stability of PLA/rGO/PPy composite nanofibers increase, and the conductivity of PLA/rGO 3.5/PPy composite nanofibers was the highest conductivity (1.46 × 10 −1 S/cm). The proliferation and differentiation of PC-12 cells seeded on the surface of PLA/rGO3.5/PPy composite nanofibers reach the highest level under 400 mV/cm. These results are beneficial for improving biomaterial properties and provide guidance to ES application in peripheral nerve repair.

The lamellar precursor of the FER type zeolite (PREFER) was applied to develop the interlayer expanded zeolite IEZ (interlayer-expanded zeolite)-FER (D4h) with extra-large pores through hydrothermal acid treatment-assisted molecular alkoxysilylation, using 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl cyclotetrasiloxane (D4h) as a silylating agent to interconnect neighboring zeolitic layers. The interlayer expanded structure was well preserved after calcination at 823 K, yielding a hydrophilic material denoted as IEZ-FER(D4h-B). The as-made IEZ-FER(D4h) exhibits expanded interlayer spacing along the a-axis. The 4-membered rings (4MR) exist in IEZ-FER(D4h) as the secondary structure building units, while the methyl groups therein attached result in the hydrophobic properties. The newly formed channel systems are composed of intersecting 14MR and 12MR pores along the [001] and [010] directions, respectively, which are larger than those of the conventional 3D FER. The powder XRD patterns determine that IEZ-FER(D4h) has a crystalline structure with the IMM2 space group and unit cell parameters of a = 28.0285(39) Å, b = 14.0921(6) Å, c = 7.4395(3) Å.

In this work, a highly selective surface molecular imprinted polymers (FDU-12@MIPs) were prepared using structural analogues of aflatoxins as the template molecule and mesoporous silica FDU-12 as the carrier. The resulting polymers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. A highly ordered mesoporous nanostructure was observed in the fabricated polymer. Results showed that the adsorption capacity of FDU-12@MIPs for aflatoxins were higher than that of non-imprinted mesoporous silica polymer (FDU-12@NIPs). FDU-12@MIPs were successfully used as a solid-phase extraction sorbent coupled with HPLC for aflatoxin G2, G1, B2 and B1 determination in food samples. Under optimized conditions, recoveries from the spiked cereals were found to be 82.6%–116.7%, with relative standard deviations ranging from 2.73 to 4.21. The detection limits of aflatoxin G2, G1, B2 and B1 were estimated to be 0.05 μg kg −1 , 0.06 μg kg −1 , 0.06 μg kg −1 and 0.05 μg kg −1 , respectively. Limits of quantifications were estimated to be 0.15 μg kg −1 , 0.2 μg kg −1 , 0.2 μg kg −1 and 0.15 μg kg −1 , respectively. The developed method exhibited a favorable linear response toward aflatoxin G2, G1, B2 and B1 in the range of 0.1 μg kg −1 -50 μg kg −1 , R 2 is 0.9992–0.9996. These results indicated that FDU-12@MIPs could be used as an efficient adsorbent of solid phase extraction for enrichment of aflatoxins in real samples.

Maximizing drug cargo carrying capacity in blood circulation, controlling the in vivo fate of nanoparticles, and precisely drug release to tumor targets are the main aims of multifunctional nanomedicine-based antitumor therapy. Here we combined macrocyclic polyamine di(triazole-[12]aneN3) (M) and chemical drug camptothecin (CPT, C) through photosensitizer 1,1-dicyano-2-phenyl-2-(4-diphenylamino) phenyl-ethylene (DT) containing the cleavable disulfide (S) linkage as an all-in-one theranostic nanoprodrug, MDTSC. The corresponding compound with carbon chain (C) linkage, MDTCC, was also prepared for a comparison study. MDTSC showed the ability to carry plasmids, including the p53 tumor suppressor gene, to form lipoplexes with a size of ∼150 nm. Further addition of DOPE-PEG2k resulted in the hybrid lipoplexes MDTSC/DOPE-PEG2k@DNA, which showed good stability in blood circulation and good biocompatibility to normal cell lines. Experiments demonstrated that the hybrid lipoplexes were able to realize the successful cellular uptake and endosomal escape, to generate ROS under visible light irradiation as well as to trigger the localized release of CPT and the plasmid encoding p53 in tumor cells. In vitro, the hybrid lipoplexes showed better EGFP expression than the commercial Lipo2000, and markedly reduced tumor cell proliferation and migration rate irrespective of whether the BxPC-3 cell lines were grown on plates or 3D tumor spheroids. In vivo, the hybrid lipoplexes showed effective anticancer activity by reducing the BxPC-3 pancreatic tumor growth by 99% through the synergetic combination of chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, and gene therapy. This research represented the first example of using a cocktail of three therapeutic approaches to achieve cooperative and effective anti pancreatic cancer treatment in vivo and in vitro.

The aim of this study was to estimate whether methotrexate (MTX) promotes cognitive impairment via increased ER stress and disrupted H 2 S signaling in the hippocampus and whether H 2 S may alleviate MTX-induced cognitive impairment by inhibiting ER stress through CHOP and caspase-12. Cognitive impairment behaviors were observed by Morris water maze test, and the apoptosis of neurons was assessed by TUNEL assay. The production of neurons was analyzed by DCX and Ki67 immunohistochemistry. The expressions of CHOP and caspase-12 in the hippocampus were determined by Western blot and immunohistochemistry. MTX increased the expression of CHOP and caspase-12 and the number of TUNEL-positive cells in the hippocampus by inhibiting endogenous H 2 S-induced neuronal pyknosis in the hippocampal CA1 region. MTX decreased the number of DCX- and Ki67-positive cells in the hippocampal DG region. The results of Morris water maze showed that MTX could damage the spatial memory of rats. The changes of MTX-induced Morris water maze test in mice and H 2 S levels in serum and hippocampus, as well as the expression of CHOP and caspase-12 and the number of CHOP and caspase-12-positive neurons in the hippocampus, indicated that H 2 S could alleviate the cognitive impairment induced by methotrexate through CHOP and caspase-12.

The efficient surface modification of titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) particles with different sizes was first carried out with “water only method” (Appl. Surf. Sci. 2018, 447, 664–672) developed in our group using 12-hydroxy stearic acid (12-HSA) as the modifier. The 12-HSA-modified TiO 2 particles with different sizes were then used to explore their effect on the mechanical and thermal properties of a thermoplastic polyurethane urea (TPUU) elastomer with superior mechanical and thermal properties produced newly in our lab using nonsymmetric alicyclic diisocyanate and diamine. Orthogonal experimental results showed that the order of impact of each factor on the modification efficiency of TiO 2 particles was: Temperature > time > modifier content. It was found that, in the nanometer (≤100 nm) range, smaller particles were more helpful to enhance the tensile strength of the TPUU elastomer, while larger ones to increase more significantly the elongation at break. Besides, the TiO 2 /polyurethane urea nanocomposites exhibited much better thermomechanical performance than the pristine TPUU elastomer, and the thermomechanical performance of the nanocomposites increased with decreasing particle size.

Besides the particle size and surface performance, the shape also plays a key role in drug delivery systems. Red blood cells are the most abundant blood cells in the human body, and are excellent oxygen carriers, due to their unique biconcave discoid shape. In this study, red blood cell (RBC)-like Fe3O4/TbLa3(Bim)12/poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) composite particles, with magnetic response and bioimaging functions, were prepared by electrospraying. Various electrospraying parameters, such as solvent, PLGA concentration, collecting distance and solution flow rate were investigated in detail to attempt to obtain RBC-like composite particles. The size distribution, morphology, structure, and hydrophobicity–hydrophilicity of particles were characterized. The results revealed the RBC-like Fe3O4/TbLa3(Bim)12/PLGA composite particles exhibited a strong green fluorescence and good magnetic behavior even when incubated with cells. Furthermore, the intensity of the magnetization and fluorescence can be adjusted by changing the contents of Fe3O4 and TbLa3(Bim)12. The effect on cell viability of the RBC-like Fe3O4/TbLa3(Bim)12/PLGA composite particles was evaluated in A549 cells and RBCs, and it was determined to have low cytotoxicity and excellent blood biocompatibility, suggesting that it is a promising candidate for application in drug delivery, targeting and tracking.

Background Megakaryocytic differentiation is a complicated process regulated by a series of transcription factors in a context- and stage-dependent manner. Recent studies have suggested that krüppel-like transcription factor 2 (KLF2) is involved in the control of embryonic erythroid precursor cell differentiation and maturation. However, the function and mechanism of KLF2 in regulating megakaryocytic differentiation remain unclear. Methods The expression patterns of krüppel-like transcription factors (KLFs) during megakaryocytic differentiation were identified from public databases. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) treatment of the myeloid-erythroid-leukemic cell lines K562 and HEL were used as cellular megakaryocytic differentiation models. A lentiviral transduction system was utilized to achieve the goal of amplifying or reducing KLF2. The expression of KLF2 was examined using real-time PCR and western blot. The impact of KLF2 on the megakaryocytic differentiation of K562 cells was examined by flow cytometry, Giemsa staining, Phalloidin staining and western blot. RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) and chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) technologies were used to identify the KLF2-regulated targets. Results KLF2 is increased in the maturation process of megakaryocytes. KLF2 overexpression accelerated the PMA-induced megakaryocytic differentiation, as reflected by an increased percentage of CD41/CD61 cells, an increased number of polyploid cells, and an elevated expression of P21 and P27. KLF2 knockdown exhibited the opposite results, indicating that KLF2 knockdown suppressed the megakaryocytic differentiation. Further, combination of the RNA-seq and ChIP-seq results suggested that chimerin 1 (CHN1) and potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 5 (KCNQ5) may be target genes regulated of KLF2. Both CHN1 and KCNQ5 knockdown could block the megakaryocytic differentiation to some content. Conclusion This study implicated a regulatory role of KLF2 in megakaryocytic differentiation, which may suggest KLF2 as a target for illness with abnormal megakaryocytic differentiation.

Polyphenols have received attention as dietary supplements for the relief of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) due to various bioactivities. Ethanol-induced rat small intestinal epithelial cell 6 (IEC-6) and alpha mouse liver 12 (AML-12) cell models were pretreated with four dietary polyphenols with different structures to explore their effects on cytotoxicity and potential protective mechanisms. The results showed that polyphenols had potential functions to inhibit ethanol-induced AML-12 and IEC-6 cell damage and oxidative stress, and restore ethanol-induced IEC-6 permeability and tight junction gene expression. Especially, dihydromyricetin (DMY) had the best protective effect on ethanol-induced cytotoxicity, followed by apigenin (API). Western blot results showed that DMY and API had the best ability to inhibit CYP2E1 and Keap1, and promote nuclear translocation of Nrf2, which might be the potential mechanism by which DMY and API attenuate ethanol-induced cytotoxicity. Moreover, the molecular docking results predicted that DMY and API could bind more tightly to the amino acid residues of CYP2E1 and Keap1, which might be one of the inhibitory modes of dietary polyphenols on CYP2E1 and Keap1. This study provided a rationale for the subsequent protective effect of dietary polyphenols on alcohol-induced liver injury in animal models and provided new clues on bioactive components for ALD-protection based on the gut-liver axis.

Chemo-immunotherapy has gained increasing attention as one of the most promising combination therapy strategies to battle cancer. In this study, the therapeutic nanoparticles (TNPs) co-delivering doxorubicin (DOX) and IL-12 (IL-12) were developed for chemo-immunotherapy combination therapy on liver cancer. TNPs were synthesized based on the ionic interactions between cationic chitosan (Ch) and anionic poly-(glutamic acid) (PGA). DOX and IL-12 loaded in TNPs presented prolonged circulation in blood, efficient accumulation in tumors, and internalization in tumor cells. After that, DOX and IL-12 were co-released in the tumor microenvironment . The locally responsive property of TNPs could subsequently re-educate macrophages. More significantly, TNPs with no obvious side effects can remarkably inhibit the H22 tumor growth in vivo. A low dosage of loaded IL-12 in TNPs can effectively polarize macrophages toward the M1 phenotype to reduce tumor burden, further enhancing the antitumor efficacy. Our results suggest that the self-stabilized TNPs could be a secure and effective drug carrier for intravenous administration when deprived of protective agents.

Isobutylene–isoprene rubber (IIR)/polyamides 12 (PA12) blends are well known for their high gas barrier property and thus find applications in refrigeration hoses, tire inner liners, and so on. Nevertheless, the design and preparation of a good compatibilizer for the IIR/PA12 blend is required because of the poor compatibility between PA12 and the IIR phases. In this study, an efficient reactive compatibilizer, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA)-grafted IIR (IIR-g-GMA) copolymer, and GMA/styrene (St)-grafted IIR (IIR-g-St-GMA) copolymer were produced through the free-radical melt grafting reaction, which were initiated by dicumyl peroxide (DCP). Compared with IIR-g-GMA, IIR-g-St-GMA shows a significantly higher grafting degree because the fast generated, more stable St-grafted IIR macroradicals can act as a “bridge” to connect GMA molecules on IIR macroradicals. The results indicate that reactive compatibilization occurs by the introduction of the copolymer, and the extent of the interfacial reaction and compatibilization effect increases with increasing the copolymer content and the grafting degree of GMA. Nanomechanical mapping images of atomic force microscopy show that the average interfacial thickness of the blend largely increases from approximately 55 to 120 nm after compatibilization with 30 phr IIR-g-St-GMA. Meanwhile, the size of the IIR dispersed phase domains largely decreases from 3 to 5 μm to approximately 0.7 μm after compatibilization with this copolymer. The compatibilization mechanism of the copolymers on IIR/PA12 blends is discussed.
