A coordinating ionic liquid (IL), 1-[(diethyl amine)amine]ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium chloride ([N 3 MIM]Cl), was prepared as an alternative to a simple organic ligand to coordinate to copper(I) bromide (CuBr). We, thereby, obtained a novel catalyst for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) reactions. This catalyst was applied to the ATRP of methyl methacrylate in the IL 1-allyl-3-methyl imidazolium chloride ([AMIM]Cl). The chemical structures of the ILs obtained were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and 1 H-NMR analyses. The coordination ability of [N 3 MIM]Cl was assessed by cyclic voltammetry, and the redox potential of [N 3 MIM]Cl–CuBr was −0.507 V. The [N 3 MIM]Cl–CuBr complex was expected to be a markedly more active catalyst than the amine DETA–CuBr complex. The coordination mode toward CuBr was also examined. The [N 3 MIM]Cl–CuBr catalyst system showed good controllability in the aforementioned ATRP reaction in [AMIM]Cl. The Cu catalyst was easily separated from the obtained polymer with the coordinating IL as a ligand. Consequently, the coordinating IL overcame the shortcomings of traditional organic ligands, such as poor compatibility with IL media and poor separation of the catalyst from the polymer; this makes it highly promising for applications in the ATRP field. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This study explored the molecular mechanism underlying the effects of dexamethasone (DEX, 1 µM) on glucose transporters (GLUT) in JEG-3 human placental choriocarcinoma cells. JEG-3 cells were treated with DEX, an expression plasmid encoding human glucocorticoid receptor α (GRα), pcDNA3.1-GRα, GRα short interference (si) RNA, LY294002, xanthine oxidase (XO)/hypoxanthine (HX), rapamycin, insulin-like growth factor (IGF) 1, N-acetylcysteine (NAC) or phosphatidic acid (PA), and cell proliferation, apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) content, human placental lactogen (hPL) content, glucose uptake, reactive oxygen species levels and signalling pathway modulation were evaluated. Treatment of JEG-3 cells with DEX (1 µM), GRα siRNA, LY294002 (50 µM), XO/HX (7.2 µM/36 nM) or rapamycin (80 nM) inhibited cell proliferation, induced apoptosis, significantly decreased MMP and hCG and hPL content and increased ROS levels. In addition, glucose uptake was decreased through downregulation of the mRNA and protein expression of GRα, GLUT1 and GLUT3. Treatment of JEG-3 cells with GRα siRNA, LY294002, XO/HX or rapamycin inhibited phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), Akt, glycogen synthase kinase 3 and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and induced the phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and tuberous sclerosis complex 2. The effects of GRα overexpression and IGF1 (100 nM), NAC (5 nM) or PA (100 µM) treatment on JEG-3 cells contrasted with those of DEX treatment. DEX blocked glucose uptake by downregulating GRα expression, which reduced GLUT1 and GLUT3 mRNA and protein expression, which, in turn, may have inhibited the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and activated the ROS/AMPK pathway.

Graphical The production of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-ol from the oxidation of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-pyrazolidin-3-one by air under the catalysis of Co(II)@AC has been enhanced by modifying the activated carbon with H₂C₂O₄ solution to increase the acidic groups and micropores on the carbon surface. The production of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1 H -pyrazol-3-ol by oxidizing 1-(4-chlorophenyl)- pyrazolidin-3-one with H 2 O 2 suffers from some shortcomings. The oxidation of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-pyrazolidin-3-one to 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1 H -pyrazol-3-ol can be realized by air catalyzed with Co(II)@AC (prepared by supporting cobalt(II) on activated carbon). Air is a good substitute for H 2 O 2 because it can minimize the cost, hazards, and pollution, which is beneficial to the improvement of the production process for pyraclostrobin. In this study, activated carbon has been modified by H 2 C 2 O 4 solution to improve the catalytic performance of Co(II)@AC. The experiments indicate that the best carbon is made by heating the carbon at 300 °C for 3 h with a heating rate of 5 °C/min in N 2 after being soaked in 0.4 mol/L H 2 C 2 O 4 solution at 50 °C for 12 h with an L/S ratio of 40/1 mL/g. The 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1 H -pyrazol-3-ol concentration obtained by Co(II)@AC immobilized on the optimized carbon is 39.39% over that catalyzed by Co(II)@AC loaded on the original carbon. Characterization results reveal that modification with H 2 C 2 O 4 increases the specific surface area and enhances the acidity on the carbon surface. The oxidation rate of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-pyrazolidin-3-one is primarily determined by the physical structure. The selectivity toward 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1 H -pyrazol-3-ol is mainly influenced by the chemical characteristics.

Lung cancer ranks as the second most diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Novel chemotherapeutic strategies are crucial to efficiently target tumor cells while minimizing toxicity to normal cells. In this study, we proposed a combination strategy using energy blocker lonidamine (LND) and cytotoxic drug nimustine (ACNU, 1-[(4-amino-2-methyl-5-pyrimidinyl)methyl]-3-(2-chloroethyl)-3-nitrosourea) to enhance the killing of a human lung cancer cell line and investigated the potential chemo-sensitizing mechanism of LND. LND was found to remarkably increase the cytotoxicity of ACNU to A549 and H1299 cells without significantly affecting normal lung BEAS2B cells. The combination of LND and ACNU also produced significant effects on cell apoptosis, colony formation, cell migration, and invasion assays compared to single drug treatment. Mechanistically, LND decreased intracellular ATP levels by inhibiting glycolysis and inducing mitochondrial dysfunction. Furthermore, the combination of LND and ACNU could intensify cellular oxidative stress, decrease cellular GSH contents, and increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Notably, LND alone dramatically downregulated the expression of DNA repair protein MGMT (O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase), enhancing DNA interstrand cross-link formation induced by ACNU. Overall, LND represents a potential chemo-sensitizer to enhance ACNU therapy through energy inhibition, disrupting redox homeostasis and downregulating MGMT expression in human lung cancer cell line under preclinical and clinical background.

Despite its longstanding use in recombinant protein production, the fundamental principles governing signal peptide (SP) functionality in Komagataella phaffii ( K. phaffii ) remain poorly understood. In this study, 64 endogenous SPs were identified from K. phaffii genome and were combined with 52 high-performance exogenous SPs from literature. This SP library was employed to optimize secretion of β-galactosidase Bgal1–3-Y497F, an efficient biocatalyst for producing galactooligosaccharide-enriched and low-lactose dairy products. The characterization identified 35 new SPs, expanding the repertoire of SPs that outperformed the conventional α-mating factor (α-MF) SP by 30 %. The top performers, SP25 and W1, mediated 4.0- and 5.5-fold higher extracellular enzyme activity than α-MF SP, with similar enhancements (2.0–5.5-fold) observed for heterologous proteins β-galactosidase BgaD-D and plastic-degrading enzyme LCC-ICCG. A few key sequence features for efficient secretion were revealed. For N-regions, endogenous SPs preferred +1 charge, whereas exogenous SPs preferred +3 charges. For H-region, both SP types showed bell-curve dependencies (extracellular enzyme activity plotted against hydrophobicity) with a consistent optimal window (hydrophobicity scores = 40–55) that provides a general guideline for SP selection and engineering in this host. Implementing an integrated engineering strategy (W1-based SP engineering, multi-copy strain selection, chaperone co-expression, and cultivation condition optimization), a 17.9-fold production increase was achieved. Scale-up to 5-L bioreactor cultivation yielded 7.0 g/L, the highest reported titer of prokaryotic β-galactosidase in K. phaffii . This work provides both fundamental insights into SP features for efficient protein secretion in K. phaffii and a high-performance industrial strain for dairy processing applications.

Difluoroamino (–NF 2 ) is one of the ideal energetic functional groups for enhancing the overall performance of solid propellants. Its strong oxidizing properties reduce the average molecular weight of combustion products and increase the specific volume of combustion gases, thereby significantly boosting the energy release level of solid propellants and demonstrating tremendous application potential. In this study, hydroxyl-terminated polyether (HTPE) was copolymerized with 3-difluoroaminomethyl-3-methyloxetane (DFAMO) via cationic ring-opening copolymerization to form the PDFAMO-HTPE-PDFAMO triblock copolymer, which achieves coordinated optimization of energy and mechanical properties. PDFAMO-HTPE-PDFAMO retains the benefits of HTPE's low glass transition temperature and favorable thermal stability, with a peak decomposition temperature of 257.1°C and a corresponding decomposition enthalpy of 1385.64 J/g. Combined with three model-free kinetic calculation methods to obtain key thermal performance parameters such as activation energy and frequency factor. Furthermore, TG-FTIR technology was utilized to validate the thermal decomposition process and elucidate the decomposition mechanism, which is divided into a two-stage pyrolysis process: initial decomposition of the difluoroamino groups followed by scission of the polymer backbone. These results demonstrate the potential of PDFAMO-HTPE-PDFAMO tri-block copolymer as the energetic propellant binder.

Background Galactose lectin-3 (Gal-3) has been shown to promote the progression of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), yet the intricate molecular mechanisms are still unclear. Methods Primary cultured rat pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) and PAH rats were used in this study. Protein phosphorylation and expression levels were identified using Western blotting, while mRNA level was quantified through qRT-PCR. Hemodynamic measurements, hematoxylin-eosin and immunohistochemistry staining were employed to assess the PAH progression. Results Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) mediated Gal-3/toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-induced PDZ-binding kinase (PBK) upregulation. Furthermore, polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1)/cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) mediated Gal-3/TLR4-induced PBK phosphorylation. Activated PBK further phosphorylated protein regulator of cytokinesis 1 (PRC1), which ultimately led to PASMC proliferation. In monocrotaline-induced PAH rat models, inhibition of Gal-3, TLR4, YAP1, CDK1 or silencing of PLK1, PBK, PRC1 attenuated PAH progression. Conclusion Our study presents novel evidence that Gal-3 promotes PASMC proliferation and pulmonary vascular remodeling by activating PBK/PRC1 through the TLR4/YAP1 and TLR4/PLK1/CDK1 signaling pathways, suggesting that this signaling pathway might be a promising target for the treatment of PAH.

The immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) enables cancer cells to evade clinical immunotherapies. Neural networks are vital components of the TME, and interactions between cancer cells, neuronal cells, and immune cells mediate immunosuppression. Hence, understanding the mechanisms of intercellular crosstalk could inform immunomodulatory approaches to enhance immunotherapy efficacy. Here, we found that the vagus nerve regulated the crosstalk between gastric cancer (GC) cells and group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s), boosting immune resistance in GC by enhancing programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. Specifically, the infiltrated vagus nerve released acetylcholine (ACh) that elevated the expression of lipase ABHD16A in GC cells, facilitating the production and secretion of the metabolite lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS) into the TME. LysoPS facilitated the proliferation and activation of ILC3s in TME, resulting in production of the cytokine interleukin (IL)-22 via the GPR34/AKT/STAT3 axis. In turn, IL-22 triggered the unfolded protein response (UPR) in GC cells, which led to an increase in PD-L1 expression that enhanced immune resistance. Importantly, targeting ACh or the crosstalk between GC cells and ILC3s significantly enhanced the efficacy of anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy. Serum levels of LysoPS and IL-22 were elevated in GC patients, particularly those with perineural invasion. Collectively, these findings provide valuable insights into the crosstalk between GC cells, nerve cells, and ILC3s that regulates immunosuppression and response to ant-PD-L1 immunotherapy, emphasizing the potential clinical significance of this axis for detecting and treating GC.

Antimony chalcogenides (including Sb 2 S 3 , Sb 2 Se 3 , and Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 alloy) have emerged as promising solar absorber materials. Notably, the Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 alloy possesses continuously tunable bandgap from 1.1 to 1.7 eV, which covers the ideal bandgap for single-junction photovoltaics governed by the Shockley–Queisser theory. Moreover, the bandgap gradient provides effective ways for photogenerated carriers collection and has the potential for high-efficient Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 alloy solar cells. Herein, a V-shaped distributional bandgap in Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 solar cells is reported through a simple dual-source vapor transport deposition process, enabling the synergetic increase of the open-circuit voltage ( V OC ) and short-circuit current ( J SC ). Through careful optimization, a power conversion efficiency of 7.27% under AM1.5G illumination is obtained, with V OC and J SC of 0.46 V and 29.6 mA cm −2 , respectively. This V-shaped bandgap engineering provides an effective method to enhance the device performance and can be extended to other chalcogenide thin-film solar cells such as Sn–X, Ge–X, Cu–Sb–X (X = S and Se), and so on.

Na 3 Mn 1−x Cr x Ti(PO 4 ) 3 /C composites with different chromium doping contents (x = 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.10, 0.12, 0.15), a potential cathode material in sodium-ion batteries with its classical 3D NASCION structure, has been synthesized via a feasible sol-gel route. The doping effects on the crystal structure were verified by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman and Fourier-infrared spectra (FT-IR). The results show that chromium doping does not alter the structure of the material, and chromium is successfully doped for manganese site. Proper chromium doped Na 3 Mn 1−x Cr x Ti(PO 4 ) 3 /C composites exhibit a high reversible capacity and structural stability . Among them, Na 3 Mn 0.93 Cr 0.07 Ti(PO 4 ) 3 /C and Na 3 Mn 0.90 Cr 0.10 Ti(PO 4 ) 3 /C achieve the highest capacity retention (90.19% after 100 cycles at 0.2 C) and initial discharge specific capacity (119.65 mA h g -1 at 0.2 C), yielding the coulombic efficiency of ~100%. Interestingly, even after cycling at 10 C over 500 cycles, the Na + -storage capacity of 94.37 and 101.51 mA h g -1 with a capacity retention of 79.70% and 73.74% were respectively still obtained with x = 0.07 and 0.10, highlighting their excellent long cycling life and remarkable rate performances. Results from the cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy studies were combined to verify the enhanced sodium-ion diffusion coefficients .

White light-emitting diode (WLED) has been widely used as solid-state lighting in recent years, with the advantages of energy saving, high luminous efficiency , and safety. Red phosphors are crucial to the color rendering index of WLED, and Eu 3+ -activated red phosphors can significantly improve the chromaticity performance of WLED. In this work, a series of new orange-red emitting BaLiZn 3 (PO 4 ) 3 : Eu 3+ phosphors were synthesized through high-temperature solid-state reaction method. The phase composition , crystal structure, morphology and photoluminescence properties of BaLiZn 3 (PO 4 ) 3 : Eu 3+ samples were investigated. The phosphors can be effectively excited by the violet light at 394 nm and emit orange-red lights corresponding to the electric dipole transition (5D 0 →7F 1 ) at 594 nm. The optimal doping concentration of Eu 3+ ions was about 5 mol%. The concentration quenching was caused by the electric dipole-dipole interaction between Eu 3+ ions. Temperature-dependent PL spectra indicate that BaLiZn 3 (PO 4 ) 3 : Eu 3+ has excellent emission and color stability at high temperatures. The color coordinates were calculated and fall in the orange-red luminescent area. The color purity is about 98.3 %, and the correlated color temperature is 1710K. These results indicate that the new orange-red phosphor BaLiZn 3 (PO 4 ) 3 : Eu 3+ has potential application prospects in WLED.

Thiazolidine-2,4-dione (TZD), a privileged scaffold, is a versatile pharmacophore and outstanding sulphur-containing heterocyclic compound found in various drugs. In this work, forty-two substituted 5-arylidene-1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-diones derivatives have been designed and synthesized by introducing sulfonyl groups, benzoyl groups, and amide groups into 5-(3/4-hydroxybenzylidene)thiazolidine-2,4-dione through Knoevenagel condensation, and their antibacterial activities were evaluated in vitro. As a result, thirty-five compounds were new compounds, and seven compounds were known compounds. The in vitro assay results disclosed that compared with B/C-series, A-series compounds presented remarkable antimicrobial activity against S. aureus, E. faecalis , and E. faecium . All twenty-one synthesized A-series compounds exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against S. aureus (MIC 80 ≤ 128 µg/mL). Among these, three compounds demonstrated the highest anti- E. faecalis activities (MIC 80 = 8 µg/mL), while E. faecium showed antibacterial susceptibility to A-series compounds except two of the investigated compounds p -cyanophenyl and p -trifluoromethoxyphenyl substituted sulfonate esters. In contrast, the B-series displayed limited activity, with only three compounds showing measurable anti- S. aureus effects, among which substituted phenyl benzoates exhibited the best antibacterial action against E. faecium (MIC 80 = 64 µg/mL). The C-series compounds demonstrated the weakest activity profile, with two N -substituted acetamides ( N -phenyl and N -methylphenyl) displaying moderate anti- S. aureus activity (MIC 80 = 128 µg/mL), which merely compound N - o -nitrophenyl was sensitive to E. faecalis (MIC 80 = 256 µg/mL). SAR analysis revealed that synthetic TZD-derivatives with substituted sulfonyl groups significantly enhanced antibacterial activity against all tested Gram-positive bacterial strains. These molecules may serve as lead compounds for developing more effective and less toxic antibacterial agents.
