The effect of N-nitroxymethyl succinimide (1), N-(2-nitroxyethyl) succinimide (2) and N-(3-nitroxypropyl) succinimide (3) on enzymatic activity of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) phosphodiesterase was studied and crystal structure of compound (2) was determined. It was shown that all studied N-nitroxy succinimides inhibited cGMP phosphodiesterase in a concentration range of 0.1-0.001 mM. Compound (2) noncompetitively and reversibly inhibited hydrolytic function of enzyme with K=1.7×10 М. Inhibition constant for the reference compound N-(2-nitroethyl) nicotinamide (nicorandil) was 3×10 М.

In gastric cancer, the relationship between human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of the interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway, and autophagy remains unclear. This study examines whether HER2 regulates autophagy in gastric cancer cells via the cGAS-STING signaling pathway, influencing key processes such as cell proliferation and migration. Understanding this relationship could uncover new molecular targets for diagnosis and treatment.

Stem cell implantation holds promise for enhancing bone repair, but risks of pathogen transmission and malignant cell transformation should not be ignored. Compared to stem cell implantation, recruitment of endogenous stem cells to injured sites is more critical for in situ bone regeneration. In this study, based on the acidic microenvironment of bone injury, an HG-AA-SDF-1α composite hydrogel with a dual-control intelligent switch function is developed by incorporating stromal cell-derived factor (SDF-1α), arginine carbon dots (Arg-CDs), and calcium ions (Ca) into the oxidized hyaluronic acid/gelatin methacryloyl (HG) hydrogel.

Neutrophil elastase () mutations are the most common cause of cyclic (CyN) and congenital neutropenia (SCN), two autosomal dominant disorders causing recurrent infections due to impaired neutrophil production. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) corrects neutropenia but has adverse effects, including bone pain and in some cases, an increased risk of myelodysplasia (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an alternative but is limited by its complications and donor availability.

Cyclic di-guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) acts as a second messenger regulating bacterial behaviors including cell cycling, biofilm formation, adhesion, and virulence. Monitoring c-di-GMP levels is crucial for understanding these processes and designing inhibitors to combat biofilm-related antibiotic resistance. Here, we developed a genetically encoded biosensor, cdiGEBS, based on the transcriptional activity of the c-di-GMP-responsive transcription factor MrkH.
