Abstract In severely hypoxic condition, HIF-1α-mediated induction of Pdk1 was found to regulate glucose oxidation by preventing the entry pyruvate into tricarboxylic cycle. Monocyte-derived macrophages, however, encounter a gradual decrease in oxygen availability during its migration process inflammatory areas. Here we show that HIF-1α-PDK1-mediated metabolic changes occur mild hypoxia, where mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase activity is unimpaired, suggesting mode glycolytic reprogramming....
Conformational transitions of biopolymers are well-known to be affected by noncovalent interactions with small molecules. We found that synthetic polymers, poly- and oligo(meta-ethynylpyridine)s, guided helical structures uncharged hydrogen-bonding saccharides enclosed in the inner sphere polymers.

A basic host polymer exhibiting pH-regulatable saccharide recognition has been investigated. Poly(m-ethynylpyridine) bearing dialkylamino groups forms helical complexes with saccharides to show induced circular dichroism (ICD). When trifluoroacetic acid was titrated on these complexes, the ICD gradually enhanced until amount of reached ca. 0.5 molar equivalence versus pyridine rings in polymer, and further addition suppressed ICD. The proper also increased binding constants between...

Abstract Water‐soluble poly( m ‐ethynylpyridine)s were designed to realize saccharide recognition in protic media. UV/Vis, 1 H NMR, and fluorescence measurements revealed that the polymer forms a helical higher order structure by solvophobic interactions between ethynylpyridine units medium. The resulting pore helix behaves like binding pocket proteins, taking advantage of inwardly directed hydrogen‐bonding functional groups polymers. Molecular native saccharides polymers was investigated...
Water-soluble pyrenophanes possessing polycationic or amphiphilic side chains have been developed as synthetic host molecules to investigate hydrophobic and/or pi-stacking interactions. By utilizing omega-acetalic alkyl retain solubility and versatility, water-soluble macrocyclic could be easily obtained by Stille coupling, followed conversion of the acetal groups hydrophilic substituents. Among synthesized, hexaammonium-, bis(diazoniacrown)-, tetrakis[octa(oxyethylene)]-derived ones showed...
Vascular endothelial growth factor‐A (VEGF‐A) is one of the major angiogenic factors, and its actions are primarily mediated through two membrane receptors, VEGFR‐1 VEGFR‐2. A soluble form (sVEGFR‐1) sequesters free VEGF‐A, acts as a potent anti‐angiogenic factor. While sVEGFR‐1 synthesized splice variant VEGF‐R1 gene, interactions between VEGF‐A remain largely unknown. Here, we show that upregulates sVEGF‐R1 expression in human vascular cells but leaves full‐length unchanged, this induction...
In a binary mixture of oligomers styrene and \ensuremath{\epsilon}-caprolactone, we have studied transition from metastability to instability by changing quench depth systematically under an off-critical condition. The concentration distribution function turns out be good fingerprint for determining whether phase separation is nucleation-growth type or spinodal-decomposition type. We also demonstrate clear morphological kinetice evidence diffuse metastable-unstable crossover phenomena...
Polymeric synthetic host , azacrown-attached 2,6-pyridylene ethynylene polymer, was investigated for its saccharide recognition and the additive effect of triethylene tetramine-trifluoroacetic acid; heteroallosteric effects were observed on basis CD UV/Vis analyses, which indicated saccharide-dependent stabilization destabilization helical complexes by formation pseudopolyrotaxanes.
