AI Article Synopsis
- Sogatella furcifera is a significant pest threatening rice production, requiring innovative management methods beyond traditional insecticides, which lead to resistance.
- A new approach using dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DMSNs) enhances the delivery of siRNA and a pesticide (nitenpyram) to effectively disrupt the insect's metabolic processes.
- This method improves the stability and release of siRNA, significantly lowering pest development and increasing susceptibility to nitenpyram, thereby presenting a promising strategy for sustainable rice agriculture.
Article Abstract
Background: Migratory insect infestation caused by Sogatella furcifera is a serious threat to rice production. The most effective method available for S. furcifera control is intensive insecticide spraying, which cause widespread resistance. RNA interference (RNAi) insecticides hold enormous potential in managing pest resistance. However, the instability and the poor efficiency of cross-kingdom RNA trafficking are key obstacles for the application in agricultural pest management.
Methods: We present dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DMSNs)-based nanocarrier for delivering siRNA and nitenpyram to inhibit the metabolic detoxification and development of S. furcifera, thereby preventing its proliferation.
Results: This nano complex (denoted as N@UK-siRNA/DMSNs) significantly enhanced the stability of siRNA (efficacy lasting 21 days) and released cargos in GSH or planthopper bodily fluid with a maximum release rate of 84.99%. Moreover, the released UK-siRNA targeting two transcription factors (Ultraspiracle and Krüppel-homolog 1) downregulated the developmental genes Ultraspiracle (0.09-fold) and Krüppel-homolog 1 (0.284-fold), and downstream detoxification genes ABC SfABCH4 (0.016-fold) and P450 CYP6FJ3 (0.367-fold).
Conclusion: The N@UK-siRNA/DMSNs inhibited pest development and detoxification, significantly enhancing susceptibility to nitenpyram to nanogram level (LC is 250-252 ng/mL), resulting in a 5.37-7.13-fold synergistic ratio. This work proposes a comprehensive management strategy for controlling S. furcifera to ensure the green and safe production of rice.

In this research, a hollow mesoporous responsive nanomotor was proposed for enhanced photothermal/immunotherapy under near infrared (NIR) irradiation. HA-HMCuS/AS as the nanomotor composed of hollow mesoporous copper sulfide (HMCuS) loaded with artesunate (AS) and hyaluronic acid (HA) was utilized to induce the polarization of tumor-associated macrophages. At the beginning, ResNet18 deep learning model was utilized to predict the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of HMCuS based on the morphology data set which was obtained from our conventional research.

The development of an engineered RNA device capable of detecting multiple biomarkers to evaluate pathological states and autonomously implement responsive therapies is urgently needed. Here, we report InCasApt, an integrated nano CRISPR Cas13a/RNA aptamer theranostic platform capable of achieving both biomarker detection and biomarker-driven therapy. Within this system, a Cas13a/crRNA complex, a hairpin reporter (HR), a dinitroaniline caged Ce6 photosensitizer (Ce6-DN), and a DN-binding RNA aptamer precursor (DNBApt) are coloaded onto dendritic mesoporous silicon nanoparticles (DMSN) in a controlled manner.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have demonstrated remarkable efficacy across various cancer types. However, immune-related adverse events (irAEs) pose a significant challenge in immunotherapy, particularly the associated pneumonia as the primary adverse reaction, which can lead to irreversible pulmonary fibrosis. Additionally, monotherapy with programmed death ligand (PD-L1) inhibitors has shown limited effectiveness.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is considered to be one of the predominant causes of human death; therefore, a rapid and accurate diagnostic method for AMI is urgently required. In this work, a highly sensitive lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) platform was designed and fabricated for the quantitative determination of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) using a scanner, a smartphone and a colloidal gold immunoassay analyzer. To overcome the limitation of low sensitivity of traditional colloidal gold-based LFIA, three-dimensionally assembled gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) within a dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticle (DMSN) scaffold were fabricated as signal labels.

Small colony variant (SCV) is strongly linked to antibiotic resistance and the persistence of osteomyelitis. However, the intrinsic phenotypic instability of SCV has hindered a thorough investigation of its pathogenic mechanisms. In this study, phenotypically stable SCV strains are successfully recovered from clinical specimens, characterized by elevated drug resistance and reduced immunogenicity.
