Cathepsin B Activatable Fluorescent Probe for Antitumor Efficiency Feedback: Attempt To Detect Certain Apoptotic Cells.

Anal Chem

As many treatments kill tumor cells by inducing apoptosis, fluorescent probes that can detect apoptosis are crucial for effective feedback regarding tumor therapy outcomes (in particular, activatable probes for better imaging). Cathepsins are enzymes that are released from lysosomes into the cytoplasm during lysosomal membrane permeabilization-induced apoptosis of many tumor cells, making them potential biomarkers of apoptotic cells. Despite their potential, to the best of our knowledge, no cathepsin-activatable fluorescent probes have been reported for this purpose.

Background: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is an important complication in the treatment of heart failure, and its treatment has not made satisfactory progress. Nitroxyl (HNO) showed protective effects on the heart failure, however, the effect and underlying mechanism of HNO on MIRI remain largely unclear.

Methods: MIRI model in this study was established to induce H9C2 cell injury through hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) in vitro.

Background: Breast carcinoma stands out as the most widespread invasive cancer and the top contributor to cancer-related mortality in women. Nanoparticles have emerged as promising tools in cancer detection, diagnosis, and prevention. In this study, the antitumor and apoptotic capability of silver nanoparticles synthesized through Scrophularia striata extract (AgNPs-SSE) was investigated toward breast cancer cells.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate whether zinc ion (Zn) alleviates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) through the MAM-associated signaling pathway and to explore its impact on ERS and calcium overload.

Methods: H9C2 cells were cultured in a DMEM supplemented with 10 % fetal bovine serum and 1 % antibiotic solution. A MIRI model was established through simulated ischemia and reoxygenation with Zn treatment in a complete medium.

The First College of Clinical Medical Science, Yichang Central People's Hospital, China Three Gorges University, Yichang, 443000 China.

Despite improvements in therapeutic approaches, the mortality rate of gastric cancer (GC) remains unacceptably high. Evidence suggests that FXYD domain containing ion transport regulator 6 (FXYD6) is downregulated in GC. However, its exact function and the molecular mechanism in GC are still unclear.
