AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Many estrogen receptor alpha (ERα)-positive breast cancers initially respond to aromatase inhibitors (AIs), but eventually acquire resistance. Here, we report that serum- and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase 3 (SGK3), a kinase transcriptionally regulated by ERα in breast cancer, sustains ERα signaling and drives acquired AI resistance. SGK3 is up-regulated and essential for endoplasmic reticulum (EnR) homeostasis through preserving sarcoplasmic/EnR calcium ATPase 2b (SERCA2b) function in AI-resistant cells. We have further found that EnR stress response down-regulates ERα expression through the protein kinase RNA-like EnR kinase (PERK) arm, and SGK3 retains ERα expression and signaling by preventing excessive EnR stress. Our study reveals regulation of ERα expression mediated by the EnR stress response and the feed-forward regulation between SGK3 and ERα in breast cancer. Given SGK3 inhibition reduces AI-resistant cell survival by eliciting excessive EnR stress and also depletes ERα expression/function, we propose SGK3 inhibition as a potential effective treatment of acquired AI-resistant breast cancer.

Biotransformation of enrofloxacin-copper combined pollutant in aqueous environments by fungus Cladosporium cladosporioides (CGMCC 40504).

The combined pollution of antibiotics and heavy metals in aqueous environments increases the risk of aquatic ecosystem disruption and the complication of pollutant management. Here, a fungus Cladosporium cladosporioides 11 (CC11) isolated from aquaculture pond sediments possessed effective capacities to biotransform the combined pollution of enrofloxacin (ENR) and copper ion (Cu). ENR and Cu were considerably abated by CC11, and the presence of Cu (30 mg/L) promoted the biotransformation efficiency of ENR.

To effectively mitigate carbon emissions and promote sustainability in the polymer field, biological macromolecules have emerged as a prominent strategy for fabricating functional materials. Herein, tannin (TA) was used as a biological curing agent to design fully bio-based polylactic/epoxidized natural rubber thermoplastic vulcanizates (PLA/ENR TPVs) with mechanical robustness and multi-stimuli-responsive shape memory properties. A dual cross-linking network, comprising both covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds, was successfully constructed in the ENR phase.

Epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) offers a unique combination of strength, sustainability, and versatile structure, making it a good candidate for creating sacrificial and reformable bonds via secondary curatives. These curatives should be simple and compatible with other rubber ingredients and industrial mixing processes. Although many alternative curatives, including zinc chloride, zinc dimethacrylate (ZDMA), and sebacic acid (SA), have been proven to be successful, they have never been compared in the same compound.

Self-healing polymers are extensively researched for the sustainability of materials. The introduction of dynamic networks instead of traditional cross-linkers for an autonomous healing mechanism in elastomers is a promising strategy for improving rubber properties. However, exchangeable covalent bonds in a dynamic network generally rely on external stimulants and fillers, which can compromise the material's performance.

The continuous release of antibiotics into agroecosystems has raised concerns about the potential negative effects of antibiotic residues on crops. In this study, the toxicological effects of enrofloxacin (ENR) on wheat seedlings were analyzed using a combination of morpho-physiological, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic approaches. ENR inhibited the growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.
