Myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), which is a key regulator of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), plays an important role in tumorigenesis in lymphoid malignancies such as Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM). However, its biological function in multiple myeloma (MM), which is a malignant plasma cell disorder like WM, remains unexplored. In this article, we first demonstrated that higher expression was significantly correlated with poor survival in patients with MM using multiple publicly available datasets. Interestingly, bioinformatic analysis also revealed that gene alteration, which is recognized in nearly 80% of patients with WM, was extremely rare in MM. In addition, ST2825 (a specific inhibitor of MyD88) suppressed cell growth followed by apoptosis. Furthermore, ST2825 induced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in MM cells, and N-acetyl-l-cysteine, which is known as a ROS scavenger, significantly decreased the number of apoptotic MM cells evoked by ST2825 treatment. Taken together, our results indicated that ST2825 leads to ROS-dependent apoptosis in MM cells and could be an attractive therapeutic candidate for patients with MM. By highlighting the pathological mechanism of MyD88 in MM, this study also provides novel treatment strategies to conquer MM.

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a critical half-reaction in water splitting and metal-air cells. The sensitivity of the OER to the composition and structure of the electrocatalyst presents a significant challenge in elucidating the structure-property relationship. In this study, highly stable single-crystal cobalt carbonate hydroxide [Co(OH)CO, CoCH] was used as a model to investigate the correlations among structure, composition, and reactivity.

Electrochemical oxidation via in situ-generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) is effective for the mineralization of refractory organic pollutants. However, the oxidation performance is usually limited by the low yield and utilization efficiency of ROS. Herein, a B/N-doped diamond (BND) flow-through electrode with enhanced SO/OH generation and utilization was designed for electrochemical oxidation of organic pollutants in sulfate solution.

N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-protected gold nanoclusters display high stability and high photoluminescence, making them well-suited for fluorescence imaging and photodynamic therapeutic applications. We report herein the synthesis of two bisNHC-protected Au nanoclusters with π-extended aromatic systems. Depending on the position of the π-extended aromatic system, changes to the structure of the ligand shell in the cluster are observed, with the ability to correlate increases in rigidity with increases in fluorescence quantum yield.

The cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) limits the immune response and promotes resolution of acute inflammation. Because of its immunosuppressive effects, IL-10 up-regulation is a common feature of tumor progression and metastasis. Recently, IL-10 regulation has been shown to depend on mitochondria and redox-sensitive signals.

Background: Ubiquitination and deubiquitination are involved in the progression of human diseases, including acute pneumonia. In this study, we aimed to explore the functions of ubiquitin-specific peptidase 9X-linked (USP9X) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated WI-38 cells. Methods: WI-38 cells were treated with LPS to induce the cellular damage and inflammation.
