Preparation of catalyst for CO hydrogenation reaction based on the idea of element sharing and preliminary exploration of catalytic mechanism.

Under the background of the continuous rise of CO annual emissions, the development of CO capture and utilization technology is urgent. This study focuses on improving the catalytic capacity of the catalyst for CO hydrogenation, improving the efficiency of CO conversion to methanol, and converting H into chemical substances to avoid the danger of H storage. Based on the concept of element sharing, the ASMZ (Aluminum Shares Metal Zeolite catalysts) series catalyst was prepared by combining the CuO-ZnO-AlO catalyst with the ZSM-5 zeolite using the amphoteric metal properties of the Al element.

Comprehensive analysis identifies long non-coding RNA RNASEH1-AS1 as a potential prognostic biomarker and oncogenic target in hepatocellular carcinoma.

RNASEH1-AS1, a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) divergently transcribed from the antisense strand of its neighboring protein-coding gene ribonuclease H1 (RNASEH1), has recently been demonstrated to be involved in tumor progression. However, the association between RNASEH1-AS1 and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. In the present study, first, the expression of RNASEH1-AS1 in HCC and its correlation with clinicopathological features, prognosis, diagnosis, immune cell infiltration of HCC patients was inspected using relevant R packages based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data.

Regulation of nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation bacteria by available phosphorus and microbial communities in lake sediments of cold and arid regions.

As global anthropogenic nitrogen inputs continue to rise, nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (N-DAMO) plays an increasingly significant role in CH consumption in lake sediments. However, there is a dearth of knowledge regarding the effects of anthropogenic activities on N-DAMO bacteria in lakes in the cold and arid regions. Sediment samples were collected from five sampling areas in Lake Ulansuhai at varying depth ranges (0-20, 20-40, and 40-60 cm).

Significance of m6A in subtype identification, immunological evolution, and therapeutic sensitivity of RA.

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is one kind of important epigenetic modification pattern which is extensively involved in immune regulation. The development and progression of autoimmune diseases are closely related to immune dysregulation. Considering that rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a typical autoimmune disease, the m6A process might be one of the important regulatory mechanisms in the pathogenesis of RA.

RAB27B-regulated exosomes mediate LSC maintenance via resistance to senescence and crosstalk with the microenvironment.

The fate of leukaemia stem cells (LSCs) is determined by both their inherent mechanisms and crosstalk with their niches. Although LSCs were confirmed to be eradicated by restarting senescence, the specific key regulators of LSC resistance to senescence and remodelling of the niche to obtain a microenvironment suitable for stemness remain unknown. Here, we found that RAB27B, a gene regulating exosome secretion, was overexpressed in LSCs and associated with the poor prognosis of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients.

Engineered mesenchymal stem cell exosomes loaded with miR-34c-5p selectively promote eradication of acute myeloid leukemia stem cells.

Most patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) relapse eventually because of the inability to effectively eliminate leukemia stem cells (LSCs), prompting the search of new therapies to eradicate LSCs. Our previous study demonstrated that miR-34c-5p promotes the clearance of LSCs in an AML mouse model, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for eradicating LSCs, but the effective delivery of miR-34c-5p to LSCs remains a great challenge. Here, we employed simultaneous two-step modifications to engineer mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and MSC-derived exosomes to create exosomes overexpressing the fused protein lysosome-associated membrane protein 2-interleukin 3 (Lamp2b-IL3) and hematopoietic cell E-selectin/L-selectin ligand (HCELL), and demonstrated that the engineered exosomes exhibited an enhanced ability for bone marrow homing and selective targeting of LSCs.
