Selected sequences in the DNA double helix can be specifically recognized by oligonucleotides via hydrogen bonding interactions. The resulting triple helix can modulate DNA metabolism and especially interfere with transcription in a gene-specific manner. To explore the potential of triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) as gene repressors, a TFO was designed to target a 16-bp sequence within the third intron of the human intercellular-adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) gene, which plays a key role in initiating inflammation. TFO binding to its ICAM-1 target sequence was characterized in vitro and also demonstrated in cell nuclei with the set-up of a novel magnetic capture assay, which represents a general experimental approach to the detection of specific TFO binding and to the determination of the accessibility of a given genomic DNA locus. In a human keratinocyte cell line (A431), we observed that: (i) the ICAM-1 target sequence in the chromatin context within the nuclei is still available for triplex formation and (ii) TFO inhibits sequence and gene-specific interferon-gamma-induced ICAM-1 surface expression. Collectively, the data demonstrate effective and specific inhibition of ICAM-1 expression by TFO treatment and support the view that triplex-mediated gene targeting might be a valuable technique for anti-inflammatory or anticancer strategies.

Global food production faces persistent threats from environmental challenges and pathogenic attacks, leading to significant yield losses. Conventional strategies to combat pathogens, such as fungicides and disease-resistant breeding, are limited by environmental contamination and emergence of pathogen resistance. Herein, we engineered sunlight-sensitive and biodegradable carbon dots (CDs) capable of generating reactive oxygen species (ROS), offering a novel and sustainable approach for plant protection.

Background: Cisplatin chemotherapy is an important treatment for advanced ovarian cancer (OC). However, the development of cisplatin resistance greatly limits the survival time of OC patients. Endothelial cell-specific molecule 1 (ESM1) has been found to be an important proto-oncogene promoting OC, but its mediating OC cisplatin resistance remains unknown.

Neuroblastoma (NB) is a common malignant and solid pediatric tumor with unfavorable prognosis. Although studies have shown the anti-tumor efficacy of lentinan (LNT), molecular mechanism that contribute to the anti-tumor effect on NB remains unclear. The aim of this study is to unmask the anti-tumor role of LNT in NB and the specific molecular mechanism.
