Zika virus (ZIKV) is a neurotrophic flavivirus that is capable of infecting humans, leading to brain abnormalities during fetal development. The ZIKV infectivity in neural target cells remains poorly understood. Here, we found that ZIKV specifically infected glial fibrillary acidic protein- and S100B-pos. primary human astrocytes derived from fetal brains. In contrast, neuron-specific Class III β-tubulin (TuJ1)-pos. neurons in the astrocyte cultures and SOX2-pos. neural progenitor cells derived from the fetal brains were less susceptible to ZIKV infection compared with astrocytes. The infected astrocytes released competent viral particles and manifested programmed cell death with a progressive cytopathic effect. Interestingly, ZIKV infection in human fetal astrocytes induced a significant increase of extracellular vesicles (EVs). Treatment with GW4869, a specific inhibitor of neutral sphingomyelinase-2, decreased EV levels, suppressed ZIKV propagation, and reduced the release of infectious virions in astrocytes. Therefore, ZIKV infects primary human fetal astrocytes and the infection can be suppressed by neutral sphingomyelinase-2 inhibitor GW4869. Further investigation into sphingomyelin metabolism and EVs may provide insights to the therapeutic treatment of ZIKV infection.

Chen, Mingjian; Ma, Changbei; Zhao, Han; Yan, Ying published the artcile< Exonuclease III-assisted fluorometric aptasensor for the carcinoembryonic antigen using graphene oxide and 2-aminopurine>, Recommanded Product: 7H-Purin-2-amine, the main research area is carcinoembryonic antigen exonuclease aptasensor graphene oxide aminopurine; Aptamer; Carcinoembryonic antigen; Enzyme; Fluorescence amplification; Fluorescently labelled probe.

A reliable fluorometric assay is described for the determination carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) using exonuclease III (Exo III) and a 2-aminopurine binding aptamer. In the absence of CEA, dsDNA is degraded by Exo III, and free 2-AP (which has a blue fluorescence with excitation/emission maxima of 310/365 nm) is released. Strong fluorescence is generated after addition of graphene oxide (GO) to the solution However, the 2-AP modified DNA (T2) cannot be degraded in the presence of CEA by Exo III due to the interaction between CEA and aptamer T1. Hence, only weak fluorescence can be detected after addition of GO. In this system, CEA can be quantified in the 0.05 – 2 ng·mL-1 concentration range with a detection limit of 30 pg·mL-1 (at S/N = 3). The method was successfully applied to analyze serum samples for CEA.

Zheng, Yangyang; Hong, Kunqiang; Wang, Baowei; Liu, Dingyu; Chen, Tao; Wang, Zhiwen published the artcile< Genetic Diversity for Accelerating Microbial Adaptive Laboratory Evolution>, Application In Synthesis of 452-06-2, the main research area is review accelerating microbial adaptive laboratory genetic diversity; adaptive laboratory evolution; genetic diversity; genome editing; mutant library.

A review. Adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) is a widely used and highly effective tool for improving microbial phenotypes and investigating the evolutionary roots of biol. phenomena. Serving as the raw materials of evolution, mutations have been extensively utilized to increase the chances of engineering mols. or microbes with tailor-made functions. The generation of genetic diversity is therefore a core technol. for accelerating ALE, and a high-quality mutant library is crucial to its success. Because of its importance, technologies for generating genetic diversity have undergone rapid development in recent years. Here, we review the existing techniques for the construction of mutant libraries, briefly introduce their mechanisms and applications, discuss ongoing and emerging efforts to apply engineering technologies in the construction of mutant libraries, and suggest future perspectives for library construction.

Chen, Jinghua; Xu, Ruilian; Xia, Junxian; Huang, Jiacheng; Su, Binbin; Wang, Senming published the artcile< Aspirin inhibits hypoxia-mediated lung cancer cell stemness and exosome function>, COA of Formula: C30H30Cl2N6O2, the main research area is NSCLC aspirin hypoxia exosome HIF1 microRNA210 SOX2 cell proliferation; Aspirin; Exosomes; Hypoxia; Lung cancer; Stemness.

Epidemiol. studies have illustrated that regular aspirin consumption may decrease the risk of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The present study aims to investigate the mechanism of aspirin-induced inhibition of NSCLC development during hypoxia. A549 cells were pre-treated with the vehicle control or aspirin and then subjected to hypoxic culture. Cell viability was monitored by CCK-8 assay, and flow cytometry was performed to detect cell cycle distributions, apoptosis, and proportion of cancer stem cells (CSCs). Flow cytometric cell sorting was used to sep. CSCs. Quant. reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein levels of stem cell markers and the related signaling mols. The abundance of prostaglandin E2 was detected by ELISA. Exosomes in the cell culture medium were isolated using ExoQuick, and the number of exosomes was quantified by the EXOCET exosome quantification assay kit. Cell migration and angiogenesis were monitored by transwell migration assay and in vitro angiogenesis experiments Aspirin inhibited cell proliferation and induced G2/M cell cycle arrest in hypoxic A549 cells; it also inhibited hypoxia-enhanced stemness in both A549 and ALDH+ cells. The drug reduced hypoxia-enhanced numbers of exosomes in A549 cells and exerted neg. effects on the hypoxia-mediated up-regulation of exosomal HIF-1α/COX-2 and expression of exosomal miR-135b and miR-210. While hypoxic-induced exosomes can promote the proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of other A549 cells, aspirin can weaken this promotion by reducing the amount of exosome secreted and changing exosome contents. Aspirin inhibits the hypoxia-induced stemness, hypoxic-mediated exosome release, and malignant paracrine effects of A549 cells.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play important roles in various intercellular communication processes. The abscopal effect is an interesting phenomenon in cancer treatment, in which immune activation is generally considered a main factor. We previously developed a telomerase-specific oncolytic adenovirus, Telomelysin (OBP-301), and occasionally observed therapeutic effects on distal tumors after local treatment in immunodeficient mice. In this study, we hypothesized that EVs may be involved in the abscopal effect of OBP-301. EVs isolated from the supernatant of HCT116 human colon carcinoma cells treated with OBP-301 were confirmed to contain OBP-301, and they showed cytotoxic activity (apoptosis and autophagy) similar to OBP-301. In bilateral s.c. HCT116 and CT26 tumor models, intratumoral administration of OBP-301 produced potent antitumor effects on tumors that were not directly treated with OBP-301, involving direct mediation by tumor-derived EVs containing OBP-301. This indicates that immune activation is not the main factor in this abscopal effect. Moreover, tumor-derived EVs exhibited high tumor tropism in orthotopic HCT116 rectal tumors, in which adenovirus E1A and adenovirus type 5 proteins were observed in metastatic liver tumors after localized rectal tumor treatment. In conclusion, local treatment with OBP-301 has the potential to produce abscopal effects via tumor-derived EVs.

Hypoglycemic agents with a mechanism of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4) inhibition are suitable for once daily oral dosing. It is difficult to strike a balance between inhibitory activity and duration of action in plasma for inhibitors bearing an electrophilic nitrile group. We explored fused bicyclic heteroarylpiperazine substituted at the γ-position of the proline structure in the investigation of L-prolylthiazolidines lacking the electrophilic nitrile. Among them, 2-trifluoroquinolyl compound 8g is the most potent, long-lasting DPP-4 inhibitor (IC50 = 0.37 nmol/L) with high selectivity against other related peptidases. X-ray crystal structure determination of 8g indicates that CH-π interactions generated between the quinolyl ring and the guanidinyl group of Arg358 enhances the DPP-4 inhibitory activity and selectivity.

Prasanthkumar, Kavanal P.; Rayaroth, Manoj P.; Alvarez-Idaboy, Juan R. published the artcile< Insights into the Mechanism of Hydroxyl Radical Mediated Oxidations of 2-Aminopurine: A Computational and Sonochemical Product Analysis Study>, Category: imidazoles-derivatives, the main research area is aminopurine hydroxyl radical mediated oxidation sonochem.

Mechanistic details of hydroxyl radical (•OH) mediated oxidations of 2-aminopurine (2AP) in the aqueous phase have been established in this study via a combination of DFT calculations (at the M05-2X/6-311+G(d,p) level with SMD solvation) and sonochem. end product analyses by the LC-Q-TOF-MS/MS method. Rate constants and branching ratios for single electron transfer (SET), two H-abstractions (HA), and seven radical adduct formation (RAF) reactions of •OH with 2AP were evaluated using transition state theory (TST). The RAF at the C8-position of 2AP is noted as the dominant process, which constitutes almost 46.1% of overall reaction routes. The SET mechanism accounts for the second major pathway (39.6%) followed by RAF at the C6-position (14.3%). Formations of 14 transformation products (TPs, i.e., the nonradical end products) in the sonochem. reactions of •OH with 2AP have been identified by means of the LC-Q-TOF-MS/MS technique. Among the 14 TPs (designated as TP1 to TP14), the lowest and highest mass to charge ratio (m/z) were resp. observed at 129 and 269 in ESI-MS pos. ionization mode. The identities of all TPs have been proposed on the basis of elemental composition of [M + H]+ ions and their resp. MS-MS fragmentation pattern. Four TPs (including guanine) are considered as obtained directly from primary transients by radical elimination, radical-radical combination/disproportionation reactions. The remaining 10 TPs are postulated as a result of successive self- and/or cross-reactions of primary transients/four first generation TPs with reagents such as •OH, O2, and solvent H2O mols.

Yang, Zhouping; Liu, Yaqing; Liu, Yang; Wang, Yanying; Rao, Hanbing; Liu, Yong; Yin, Jiajian; Yue, Guizhou; Wu, Caimei; Li, Hua; Liu, Xiaopeng; Wang, Xianxiang published the artcile< Preparation of porous uranium oxide hollow nanospheres with peroxidase mimicking activity: application to the colorimetric determination of tin(II)>, Product Details of C6H9ClN2O2, the main research area is uranium oxide nanosphere peroxidase ionic liquid tin colorimetry detection; Ionic liquids; Nuclear materials; Peroxidase mimic; Uranium oxide.

Porous uranium oxide hollow sphere nanoparticles were synthesized in ionic liquids under hydrothermal conditions. Various precipitating agents and ionic liquids were investigated to determine their resp. impact on the resultant uranium oxide morphologies. Using hydrazine hydrate as precipitating agent and N-Bu pyridinium bromide as templating agent, a porous-hollow structure was created with a surface area of 1958 m2.g-1 and an average pore diameter of 30 nm. The nanoparticles revealed high peroxidase-mimicking activity. This was evaluated by using the peroxidase substrate 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) that is catalytically oxidized by H2O2 to give oxidized TMB (oxTMB) which is blue (with an absorption peak at 652 nm). The material was used as a nanozyme for colorimetric detection of Sn2+. Meanwhile, it is found that BSA strongly improves the catalytic activity of the nanozyme, while Sn(II) inhibits its activity. Thus, a colorimetric method for Sn2+ detection was designed. The method works in the 0.5-100μM Sn(II) concentration range and has a lower detection limit of 0.36μM (at S/N = 3).

Herein, activated factor XI (FXIa) inhibitors novel anticoagulants, discovery effort, utilizing nonclassical interactions to improve potency, cellular permeability, and oral bioavailability by enhancing the binding while reducing polar atoms was described. Beginning with literature-inspired pyridine N-oxide-based FXIa inhibitor 1, the imidazole linker was first replaced with a pyrazole moiety to establish a polar C-H···water hydrogen-bonding interaction. Then, structure-based drug design was employed to modify lead mol. I in the P1′ and P2′ regions, with substituents interacting with key residues through various nonclassical interactions. As a result, a potent FXIa inhibitor II (Ki = 0.17 nM) was discovered. This compound demonstrated oral bioavailability in preclin. species (rat 36.4%, dog 80.5%, and monkey 43.0%) and displayed a dose-dependent antithrombotic effect in a rabbit arteriovenous shunt model of thrombosis.

Li, Peng; Herrmann, Wolfgang A.; Kuehn, Fritz E. published the artcile< Unsaturated NHC Complexes Immobilized by the Backbone: Synthesis and Application>, Application In Synthesis of 1003-21-0, the main research area is silica rhodium heterocyclic carbene complex catalyst styrene hydrogenation ethylbenzene.

The synthesis and an exemplary catalytic application of a SBA-15-supported rhodium-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex is reported. In contrast to the conventional method of immobilization of unsaturated NHC complexes, the rhodium-NHC compound described here is connected to the SBA-15 surface by a linker originating from the backbone of the unsaturated NHC ligand. The unique characteristics of the new immobilization mode enable the supported NHC complexes to maintain two unchanged “”wing-tip”” ligands. This method of immobilization of unsaturated NHC complexes provides a new way to maintain the original configuration of homogeneous NHC complexes in the heterogenized catalytic system. The immobilized rhodium-NHC catalyst is used in a hydrogenation reaction with styrene as substrate.
