Excessive alcohol consumption induces oxidative stress and lipid accumulation in the liver. Mitochondria have long been recognized as key target for alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Recently, artificial mitochondria-targeted antioxidant MitoQ has used to treat ALD effectively mice. Here, we introduce natural demethyleneberberine (DMB), which found Chinese herb <i>Cortex Phellodendri chinensis</i>. The protective effect of DMB on was evaluated with HepG2 cells acutely/chronically ethanol-fed...
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have been utilized in the diagnosis and prognosis of tumor. However, CTC concentration is extremely low to be detected peripheral blood. Many existing methods suffer from either expensive labeling or complex operation. In this study, we constructed a label- enzyme-free sensitive method detect breast cancer CTCs. First all, probe containing cell-specific aptamer complementary single-stranded DNA (trigger P1) were designed. When target are present, binds CTCs...
Sensitive detection of resistance mutation T790 M is great significance for early diagnosis and prognostic monitoring non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this paper, we showed a highly sensitive strategy using three-level characteristic current signal pattern in an α-hemolysin nanopore. A probe was designed that formed C-T mismatched base pair with wild-type/P T-T the T790M/P. The T790M/P produced unique presence mercury ions(II): first, T790M-Hg
Abstract The application of cancer theranostics depends on the development multifunctional nanostructured platforms for accurate cell targeting and controlled drug release, imaging, therapy. Herein, a comprehensive, easily fabricated anticancer theranostic platform with high drug‐loading capacity, termed an aptamer‐functionalized calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) nanostructure (apt‐CCN), is reported. Flow cytometry confocal fluorescence microscopy studies demonstrate that apt‐CCNs can specifically...
A bicyclic pillar[5]arene derivative fused with a bipyridine side ring, so-called molecular universal joint (MUJ), was synthesized, and the pair of enantiomers resolved by high-performance liquid chromatography enantioresolution. The electrochemiluminescent detection based on ruthenium complex enantiopure MUJ showed excellent chiral discrimination toward certain amino acids.
Demethyleneberberine (DMB) is an essential metabolite of Berberine (BBR) in vivo. Recent reports have revealed multiple novel therapeutic applications BBR. However, the pharmacological activities DMB remain to be elucidated. This study aimed demonstrate hepatoprotective and anti-fibrotic effects both vitro Here we showed that protects against thioacetamide (TAA)-induced hepatic fibrosis mice exhibits a higher safety profile as compared Flow cytometry Western blotting analysis able suppress...
A rapid room-temperature DNA nanowires preparation strategy on the basis of self-replicating catalyzed hairpin assembly (SRCHA) was reported. In this system, three probes (P1, P2, and P3) were well-designed partially hybridize to each other, two split trigger sequences integrated into P1 P3, respectively. When SRCHA initiated by DNA, a series steps based toehold-mediated strand displacement activated, Y shaped (P1-P2-P3) formed. that case, will come close-enough proximity form replicas,...
Alloyed upconversion nanoparticles (aUCNPs, NaYbF4:10% Er@NaYF4) with high Yb3+ doping were designed to brighten luminescence, exploring multicolor patterns of information encryption. The luminescence intensity aUCNPs was 2.3 times higher than that common doped UCNPs reported (dUCNPs, NaYF4:20% Yb, 2% Er@NaYF4). Furthermore, because the (90%), both green and red emissions enhanced, ∼4.2 ∼17.2 stronger 10% Er@NaYF4, respectively. reasons for having a brightened explored by synthesizing four...
One-dimensional DNA polymer chains were obtained based on the catalyzed hairpin assembly and sticky end self-assembly, which led to a signal amplified colorimetric nucleic acid assay.
Abstract Nanoscale transport through nanopores and live-cell membranes plays a vital role in both key biological processes as well biosensing DNA sequencing. Active translocation of these usually needs enzyme assistance. Here we present nanopore derived from truncated helicase E1 bovine papillomavirus (BPV) with lumen diameter c.a. 1.3 nm. Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) imaging single channel recording confirm its insertion into planar lipid bilayer (BLM). The BLM allows the passive...
