Feedstock chemical dichloromethane as the C1 source for the chemoselective multicomponent synthesis of valuable 1,4,2-dioxazoles.

The development of mild and practical strategies to produce value-added fine chemicals directly from inexpensive and readily available commodity chemicals is actively pursued by chemists. However, the application of feedstock chemical dichloromethane (DCM) as the C1 source in organic synthesis is still in its infancy. Herein, we describe a multicomponent strategy for the chemoselective synthesis of valuable 1,4,2-dioxazoles by using DCM as a C1 source.

Flavin mononucleotide regulated photochemical isomerization and degradation of zeatin.

-Zeatin (Z), a cytokinin often overlooked compared to -zeatin (Z), can now be controlled in live cells and plants through a new biocompatible reaction. Using flavin photosensitizers, Z can be isomerized to Z or degraded, depending on the presence of a reducing reagent. This breakthrough offers a novel approach for regulating plant growth through chemical molecules.

IL‑6 plays a crucial role in epithelial‑mesenchymal transition and pro‑metastasis induced by sorafenib in liver cancer.

Interleukin‑6 (IL‑6) is involved in various biological responses, including tumor progression, metastasis and chemoresistance. However, the role and molecular mechanism of IL‑6 in the treatment of sorafenib in liver cancer remain unclear. In the present study, through western blot analysis, Transwell assay, flow cytometric assay, ELISA analysis and immunohistochemistry it was revealed that sorafenib promoted metastasis and induced epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) in liver cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, and significantly increased IL‑6 expression.

The DLG1-AS1/miR-497/YAP1 axis regulates papillary thyroid cancer progression.

The long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), DLG1-AS1, is upregulated in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) tissues and cell lines. Here, we found that increased expression of DLG1-AS1 caused lymph node metastasis and advanced tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage. DLG1-AS1 knockdown inhibited proliferation, invasion, and migration of PTC cells, and impaired tumorigenesis in mouse xenografts.

Estradiol-17β regulates the expression of insulin-like growth factors 1 and 2 via estradiol receptors in spotted scat (Scatophagus argus).

Insulin-like growth factors (Igf1 and Igf2) play a key role in growth and development of vertebrates. In mammals, the expression of IGFs is regulated by estradiol-17β (E) via estrogen receptors (ESRs). The expression of igfs can also be regulated by E in fish, while comparative study of this is still lacking.

Weighted Measurement Fusion Particle Filter for Nonlinear Systems with Correlated Noises.

The multi-sensor information fusion particle filter (PF) has been put forward for nonlinear systems with correlated noises. The proposed algorithm uses the Taylor series expansion method, which makes the nonlinear measurement functions have a linear relationship by the intermediary function. A weighted measurement fusion PF (WMF-PF) was put forward for systems with correlated noises by applying the full rank decomposition and the weighted least square theory.

miR-182-5p promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression by repressing FOXO3a.

Background: High frequency of recurrence is the major cause of the poor outcomes for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). microRNA (miR)-182-5p emerged as a high-priority miRNA in HCC and was found to be related to HCC metastasis. Whether the expression of miR-182-5p in tumor tissue correlated with early recurrence in HCC patients underwent curative surgery was unknown.

Isolation and characterization of adult mammary stem cells from breast cancer-adjacent tissues.

Normal adult mammary stem cells (AMSCs) are promising sources for breast reconstruction, particularly following the resection of breast tumors. However, carcinogenic events can potentially convert normal AMSCs to cancer stem cells, posing a safety concern for the use of AMSCs for clinical tissue regeneration. In the present study, AMSCs and autologous primary breast cancer cells were isolated and compared for their ability to differentiate, their gene expression profile, and their potential to form tumors .

[Antiemetic activity of effective extract and bioactive compounds in ginger].

To investigate the antiemetic effect of the active extract (ginger ether extract, GEE) and its bioactive compounds in ginger, the pica vomiting model in rats and the gastric emptying model in mice were used to observe the antiemetic effect of GEE in cisplatin-induced pica and gastric emptying, and the main components in GEE were detected by RP-HPLC; in vitro, the antagonist effect of GEE and the four components in it were explored by the contraction of guinea-pig ileum induced by SR57227A and carbachol. The results showed that the amount of Kaolin ingested by rats were declined significantly in all the three groups of GEE (25,50,100 mg•kg⁻¹) (P<0.01), while cisplatin-induced gastric emptying in mice was also suppressed in all the three groups (P<0.

Subclavian steal syndrome decreases neurogenesis in the cerebellar cortex and affects cognitive function in rabbits.

Subclavian steal syndrome (SSS) is a condition characterized by a steno-occlusive impairment of the proximal subclavian artery. The majority of patients with SSS are asymptomatic, while symptomatic patients present with neurological symptoms. SSS is a risk factor for cerebral ischemia, which reacts badly upon cognitive function; however, it remains unknown whether SSS is able to cause progressive cognitive impairment.

Insertion/deletion polymorphisms in the ΔNp63 promoter are a risk factor for bladder exstrophy epispadias complex.

Bladder exstrophy epispadias complex (BEEC) is a severe congenital anomaly; however, the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying the formation of BEEC remain unclear. TP63, a member of TP53 tumor suppressor gene family, is expressed in bladder urothelium and skin over the external genitalia during mammalian development. It plays a role in bladder development.
