In this study, we demonstrated that low levels (1.5 microM) of arsenite induces B[a]P-treated lung cell transformation. We then used a proteomic approach to identify protein expression by ProteinChips, which could potentially be important for transformation induced by this toxic metal. Most of the protein peaks in cell extracts of all samples, including the control, B[a]P-treated, and B[a]P + As-treated cells are identical. However, surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time of flight (SELDI-TOF) analysis with Cu-ProteinChips and WCX-ProteinChips revealed several dramatically different protein peaks that appeared in lung cells after being transformed by a treatment of 1.5 microM arsenite for 12 weeks. SAX2 ProteinChip also identified a prominent protein peak that was preferentially expressed in control cells. Interestingly, by using a SAX2 chip, we were able to detect several protein peaks that increased their expression in lung epithelial cells (LEC) treated with only B[a]P. Identification and characterization of these proteins may reveal the molecular basis of As-induced cell transformation and provide insight into the mechanisms by which arsenic induces carcinogenesis.

Blood components play a crucial role in maintaining human health and accurately detecting them is essential for medical diagnostics. A cutting-edge sensor utilizing PCF revealed to precisely identify a wide range of blood components with WBCs (white blood cells), RBCs (red blood cells), HB (hemoglobin), platelets, and plasma. A numerical analysis was performed using COMSOL Multiphysics software to assess the capabilities of the sensor.

Deficiency or excess of mineral elements in the environment is a primary factor limiting crop yields and nutritional quality. Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is an important aquatic crop in Asia, but the mechanism for accumulating mineral nutrients and coping with nutrient deficiency/excess is still largely unknown. Here, we identified NnMTP10, a member of the cation diffusion facilitator family, by screening the cDNA library of lotus.

The presence of a substantial necrotic core in atherosclerotic plaques markedly heightens the risk of rupture, a consequence of elevated iron levels that exacerbate oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, thereby sustaining a detrimental cycle of ferroptosis and inflammation. Concurrently targeting both ferroptosis and inflammation is crucial for the effective treatment of vulnerable plaques. In this study, we introduce gallium hexacyanoferrate nanoabsorption catalysts (GaHCF NACs) designed to disrupt this pathological cycle.

Mutations in Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway genes, for example, (SUFU), drive granule neuron precursors (GNP) to form medulloblastomas (MB). However, how different molecular lesions in the Shh pathway drive transformation is frequently unclear, and mutations in the cerebellum seem distinct. In this study, we show that fibroblast growth factor 5 (FGF5) signaling is integral for many infantile MB cases and that expression is uniquely upregulated in infantile MB tumors.

Lithium nitrate (LiNO) stands as an effective electrolyte additive, mitigating the degradation of Li metal anodes by forming a LiN-rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). However, its conversion kinetics are impeded by energy-consuming eight-electron transfer reactions. Herein, an isoreticular metal-organic framework-8-derived carbon is incorporated into the carbon cloth (RMCC) as a catalytic current collector to regulate the LiNO conversion kinetics and boost LiN generation inside the SEI.
