INTRODUCTIONImmobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) can be performed offline or online with μLC-ESI-MS/MS. The online configuration has been used successfully despite suboptimal low-level analysis due to the relative disparity between IMAC and μLC flow rates. With IMAC performed offline from μLC-ESI-MS, sample volumes from 1 to 100 μL can be loaded using a sample pressure vessel or an autosampling system equipped with a sample-trapping cartridge. This protocol describes the construction and use of a micro-IMAC column for the enrichment of phosphoproteins.

Mitochondrial dysfunction-driven AMPK-p53 axis activation underpins the anti-hepatocellular carcinoma effects of sulfane sulfur.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prevalent form of primary liver cancer, notoriously refractory to conventional chemotherapy. Historically, sulfane sulfur-based compounds have been explored for the treatment of HCC, but their efficacy has been underwhelming. We recently reported a novel sulfane sulfur donor, PSCP, which exhibited improved chemical stability and structural malleability.

Esophageal cancer (EC) is one of the most common highly malignant tumors of the digestive system, with a poor prognosis under current treatment regimens. Nucleolin (NCL) is overexpressed in many tumors, and drugs specifically targeting NCL may offer a promising strategy for treating esophageal cancer. Here, we designed and prepared a novel aptamer-conjugated drug targeting NCL by AS1411 aptamer-human serum albumin (HSA)-the apoprotein of lidamycin (LDP)-active enediyne chromophore (AE), in order to achieve targeted treatment of esophageal cancer.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a clinically aggressive subtype of breast cancer that remains an unmet medical need. Because TNBC cells do not express the most common markers of breast cancers, there is an active search for novel molecular targets in triple-negative tumors. Additionally, this subtype of breast cancer presents strong immunogenic characteristics which have been encouraging the development of immunotherapeutic approaches against the disease.

To identify the differences between aged and young human hematopoiesis, we performed a direct comparison of aged and young human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Alterations in transcriptome profiles upon aging between humans and mice were then compared. Human specimens consist of CD34+ cells from bone marrow, and mouse specimens of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs; Lin- Kit+ Sca1+ CD150+).

: Cancer is caused by disruptions in the homeostatic state of normal cells, which results in dysregulation of the cell cycle, and uncontrolled growth and proliferation in affected cells to form tumors. Successful development of tumorous cells proceeds through the activation of pathways promoting cell development and functionality, as well as the suppression of immune signaling pathways; thereby providing these cells with proliferative advantages, which subsequently metastasize into surrounding tissues. These effects are primarily caused by the upregulation of oncogenes, of which SPP1 (secreted phosphoprotein 1), a non-collagenous bone matrix protein, is one of the most well-known.
