Pretargeted Multimodal Tumor Imaging by Enzymatic Self-Immobilization Labeling and Bioorthogonal Reaction.

Covalent modification of cell membranes has shown promise for tumor imaging and therapy. However, existing membrane labeling techniques face challenges such as slow kinetics and poor selectivity for cancer cells, leading to off-target effects and suboptimal efficacy. Here, we present an enzyme-triggered self-immobilization labeling strategy, termed E-SIM, which enables rapid and selective labeling of tumor cell membranes with bioorthogonal trans-cycloctene (TCO) handles .

[Construction of a muscle-specific synthetic promoter library and correlation analysis of the element composition and activity of highly active promoters].

The purpose of this study is to construct a muscle-specific synthetic promoter library, screen out muscle-specific promoters with high activity, analyze the relationship between element composition and activity of highly active promoters, and provide a theoretical basis for artificial synthesis of promoters. In this study, 19 promoter fragments derived from muscle-specific elements, conserved elements, and viral regulatory sequences were selected and randomLy connected to construct a muscle-specific synthetic promoter library. The luciferase plasmids pCMV-Luc and pSPs-Luc were constructed and transfected into the myoblast cell line C2C12.

In Situ Expression of Yak in Mammary Glands as a Treatment for Bovine -Induced Mastitis in Mice.

Since the development of dairy farming, bovine mastitis has been a problem plaguing the whole industry, which has led to a decrease in milk production, a reduction in dairy product quality, and an increase in costs. The use of antibiotics to treat mastitis can cause a series of problems, which can bring a series of harm to the animal itself, such as the development of bacterial resistance and dramatic changes in the gut flora. However, the in vivo and in vitro antibacterial activity of yak Interleukin-22 (IL-22) and its application in mastitis caused by have not been reported.

Programmed BRD9 Degradation and Hedgehog Signaling Activation via Silk-Based Core-Shell Microneedles Promote Diabetic Wound Healing.

Wound healing impairment in diabetes mellitus is associated with an excessive inflammatory response and defective regeneration capability with suppressed Hedgehog (Hh) signaling. The bromodomain protein BRD9, a subunit of the non-canonical BAF chromatin-remodeling complex, is critical for macrophage inflammatory response. However, whether the epigenetic drug BRD9 degrader can attenuate the sustained inflammatory state of wounds in diabetes remains unclear.

ARID1A safeguards the canalization of the cell fate decision during osteoclastogenesis.

Chromatin remodeler ARID1A regulates gene transcription by modulating nucleosome positioning and chromatin accessibility. While ARID1A-mediated stage and lineage-restricted gene regulation during cell fate canalization remains unresolved. Using osteoclastogenesis as a model, we show that ARID1A transcriptionally safeguards the osteoclast (OC) fate canalization during proliferation-differentiation switching at single-cell resolution.

Controlled In Situ Self-Assembly of Biotinylated Trans-Cyclooctene Nanoparticles for Orthogonal Dual-Pretargeted Near-Infrared Fluorescence and Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

A pretargeted strategy that decouples targeting vectors from radionuclides has shown promise for nuclear imaging and/or therapy in vivo. However, the current pretargeted approach relies on the use of antibodies or nanoparticles as the targeting vectors, which may be compromised by poor tissue penetration and limited accumulation of targeting vectors in the tumor tissues. Herein, we present an orthogonal dual-pretargeted approach by combining stimuli-triggered in situ self-assembly strategy with fast inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction and strong biotin-streptavidin (SA) interaction for near-infrared fluorescence (NIR FL) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of tumors.

Berberine Alleviates Ischemic Brain Injury by Enhancing Autophagic Flux via Facilitation of TFEB Nuclear Translocation.

Berberine has been demonstrated to alleviate cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury, but its neuroprotective mechanism has yet to be understood. Studies have indicated that ischemic neuronal damage was frequently driven by autophagic/lysosomal dysfunction, which could be restored by boosting transcription factor EB (TFEB) nuclear translocation. Therefore, this study investigated the pharmacological effects of berberine on TFEB-regulated autophagic/lysosomal signaling in neurons after cerebral stroke.

A carbonic anhydrase-targeted NIR-II fluorescent cisplatin theranostic nanoparticle for combined therapy of pancreatic tumors.

Optically active organic nanoparticles capable of emitting strong near-infrared II (NIR-II) fluorescence and eliciting tumor hyperthermia are promising for tumor imaging and photothermal therapy (PTT). However, their applications for the treatment of pancreatic tumors via mere PTT are challenging as both the nanoparticles and light are hard to enter the deeply located pancreatic tumors. Here, we report a NIR-II light excitable, carbonic anhydrase (CA)-targeting cisplatin prodrug-decorated nanoparticle (IRNPs-SBA/Pt) for NIR-II fluorescence imaging (FLI)-guided combination PTT and chemotherapy of pancreatic tumors.

Smart Lipid Nanoparticle that Remodels Tumor Microenvironment for Activatable HS Gas and Photodynamic Immunotherapy.

Hydrogen sulfide (HS) has shown promise for gas therapy. However, it is still controversial whether HS can remodel the tumor microenvironment (TME) and induce robust antitumor immunity. Here, a tumor-targeting and TME-responsive "smart" lipid nanoparticle (-JK-PS-FA) is presented, which is capable of delivering and releasing HS specifically in tumor tissues for on-demand HS gas and photodynamic immunotherapy.

Cascade In Situ Self-Assembly and Bioorthogonal Reaction Enable the Enrichment of Photosensitizers and Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors for Pretargeted Cancer Theranostics.

We report here a tumor-pretargted theranostic approach for multimodality imaging-guided synergistic cancer PDT by cascade alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-mediated in situ self-assembly and bioorthogonal inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction. Using the enzymatic catalysis of ALP that continuously catalyses the dephosphorylation and self-assembly of trans-cyclooctene (TCO)-bearing P-FFGd-TCO, a high density of fluorescent and magnetic TCO-containing nanoparticles (FMNPs-TCO) can be synthesized and retained on the membrane of tumor cells. They can act as 'artificial antigens' amenable to concurrently capture lately administrated tetrazine (Tz)-decorated PS (775NP-Tz) and carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitor (SA-Tz) via the fast IEDDA reaction.

Transcriptome profiling in rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum tissues during the developmental transition of pre-ruminant to the ruminant in yaks.

The development of the four stomachs of yak is closely related to its health and performance, however the underlying molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we systematically analyzed mRNAs of four stomachs in five growth time points [0 day, 20 days, 60 days, 15 months and 3 years (adult)] of yaks. Overall, the expression patterns of DEmRNAs were unique at 0 d, similar at 20 d and 60 d, and similar at 15 m and adult in four stomachs.

A Fast and Reversible Responsive Bionic Transmembrane Nanochannel for Dynamic Single-Cell Quantification of Glutathione.

Biological channels can rapidly and continuously modulate ion transport behaviors in response to external stimuli, which play essential roles in manipulating physiological and pathological processes in cells. Here, to mimic the biological channels, a bionic nanochannel is developed by synergizing a cationic silicon-substituted rhodamine (SiRh) with a glass nanopipette for transmembrane single-cell quantification. Taking the fast and reversible nucleophilic addition reaction between glutathione (GSH) and SiRh, the bionic nanochannel shows a fast and reversible response to GSH, with its inner-surface charges changing between positive and negative charges, leading to a distinct and reversible switch in ionic current rectification (ICR).

The economic and environmental impacts of the reverse logistics (RL) process (including drop-off, collection and transportation [C&T]) of the waste disposal chain are becoming increasingly prominent with the increasing generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) and promotion of MSW classification. Quantitative evaluation of this process from economic and environmental perspectives is of great significance for MSW management. This study focused on the financial capital, materials, and energy consumption in the RL process in Xi an City, China.

BRD9-mediated chromatin remodeling suppresses osteoclastogenesis through negative feedback mechanism.

Bromodomain-containing protein 9 (BRD9), a component of non-canonical BAF chromatin remodeling complex, has been identified as a critical therapeutic target in hematological diseases. Despite the hematopoietic origin of osteoclasts, the role of BRD9 in osteoclastogenesis and bone diseases remains unresolved. Here, we show Brd9 deficiency in myeloid lineage enhances osteoclast lineage commitment and bone resorption through downregulating interferon-beta (IFN-β) signaling with released constraint on osteoclastogenesis.
