Purpose: Doramectin (DRM) is a kind of avermectin drugs, and it has been shown that DRM has anti-cancer effects. However, the molecular mechanism of DRM in programmed cell death (PCD) aspects is still unclear. The objective of this study was to confirm whether DRM induced PCD in glioma cells.
Methods: In this experiment, the MTT assay and Ki-67 assay were used to detect in vitro cell viability and in vivo tumor proliferation. Then, the effect of DRM on PCD was analyzed by transcriptome comparison. Next, Endogenous apoptosis was detected by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the DNA gel electrophoresis, JC-1 assay, western blotting and qRT-PCR. Meanwhile, necroptosis was detected by TEM, Hoechst 33342, FITC and PI staining assay, western blotting.
Results: We found DRM induced apoptosis through Bcl-2/Bax/Caspase-3 pathway. And, DRM induced ROS overproduction, then ROS caused necroptosis through RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL pathway, Mitochondria acted as a bridge between the two pathways.
Conclusion: Our research provided new insight with the function of anti-cancer of DRM. These results demonstrated DRM may be used as potential therapeutic agents inducing apoptosis and necroptosis for cancer therapy.

Background: Overnight sleep promotes memory consolidation, although few studies report no effect of sleep on memory. Previous studies suggest significant correlation between sleep dependent memory consolidation and spindle density. The present study is an attempt to understand the effects of sleep on false memories expressed as function of spindle density.

Dry reforming of methane (DRM) to syngas is an important route to co-convert CH and CO. However, the highly endothermic nature of DRM induces the thermocatalysis to commonly operate at high temperatures that inevitably causes coke deposition through pyrolysis of methane. Herein, benefiting from the mass spectrometric experiments complemented with quantum chemical calculations, we have discovered that the bimetallic oxide cluster RhCoO can mediate the co-conversion of CH and CO at room temperature giving rise to two free H molecules and two adsorbed CO molecules (CO).

Pericytes line the microvasculature throughout the body and play a key role in regulating blood flow by constricting and dilating vessels. However, the biophysical mechanisms through which pericytes transduce microenvironmental chemical and mechanical cues to mediate vessel diameter, thereby impacting oxygen and nutrient delivery, remain largely unknown. This knowledge gap is clinically relevant as numerous diseases are associated with the aberrant contraction of pericytes, which are unusually susceptible to injury.

Solar-driven photo-thermal dry reforming of methane (DRM) is an environmentally friendly production route for high-value-added chemicals. However, the lack of thorough understanding of the mechanism for photo-thermal reaction has limited its further development. Here, we systematically investigated the mechanism of photo-thermal DRM reaction with the representative of Ru/CeO catalyst.

Developing cost-effective and high-performance catalyst systems for dry reforming of methane (DRM) is crucial for producing hydrogen (H) sustainably. Herein, we investigate using iron (Fe) as a promoter and major alumina support in Ni-based catalysts to improve their DRM performance. The addition of iron as a promotor was found to add reducible iron species along with reducible NiO species, enhance the basicity and induce the deposition of oxidizable carbon.
