Tangent flow-driven ultrafiltration (TF-UF) is an efficient isolation process of milk exosomes without morphological deformation. However, the TF-UF approach with micro-ultrafiltration SiNx membrane filters suffers from clogging and fouling filter pores large bioparticles. Thus, it limited in long term, continuous quantities exosomes. In this work, we introduced electrophoretic oscillation (EPO) to remove pore by As a result, combined EPO-assisted TF (EPOTF) filtration can isolate bovine...
Extensive reprogramming of cellular energy metabolism is a hallmark cancer. Despite its importance, the molecular mechanism controlling this tumour metabolic shift remains not fully understood. Here we show that 14-3-3σ regulates cancer and protects cells from tumorigenic transformation. opposes tumour-promoting programmes by enhancing c-Myc poly-ubiquitination subsequent degradation. demonstrates suppressive impact on glycolysis, glutaminolysis, mitochondrial biogenesis other major...
To characterize the prevalence of hypoxia in leukemic bone marrow, its association with metabolic and transcriptional changes blasts utility hypoxia-activated prodrug TH-302 leukemia models.Hyperpolarized magnetic resonance spectroscopy was utilized to interrogate pyruvate metabolism marrow murine acute myeloid (AML) model. Nanostring technology used evaluate a gene set defining signature normal donors. The efficacy examined vitro vivo models.Metabolic imaging has demonstrated increased...
The new oncologic paradigm of precision medicine is focused on identifying metabolic, proteomic, transcriptomic and genomic variabilities in tumors that can be exploited to tailor treatments improve patient outcomes. Metabolic changes are a hallmark cancer, inhibition metabolic pathways now major strategy medicinal chemistry for targeting cancers. However, non-invasive biomarkers categorize subtypes short supply. purpose this study was characterize the intracellular extracellular profiles...
To identify ligands for orphan GPCRs, we searched novel neuropeptide genes in the Drosophila melanogaster genome. Here, describe CNMa, a cyclic that is highly potent and selective agonist GPCR, CG33696 (CNMaR). Phylogenetic analysis revealed arthropod species have two paralogous CNMaRs, but many taxa retain only one. CNMa potently activates CNMaR‐2 from Apis mellifera , suggesting both receptors are functional. Although conserved most arthropods, Lepidoptera lack gene. However, they CNMaR...
We present a joint experimental and computational study of the hexacyanoferrate aqueous complexes at equilibrium in 250 meV to 7.15 keV regime. The experiments computations include vibrational spectroscopy cyanide ligands, valence electronic absorption spectra, Fe 1s core hole spectra using element-specific-resonant X-ray emission techniques. Density functional theory-based quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics molecular dynamics simulations are performed generate explicit solute-solvent...
This study introduces a comprehensive approach to enhancing SiNx nanofilters for exosome isolation from bovine milk using the electrophoretic oscillation-assisted tangent-flow ultrafiltration (EPOTF) process. Reinforcing nanofilter with electro-spun poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) fibers significantly improved durability under high-pressure conditions, withstanding nearly 2.8 times greater pressures than nonreinforced nanofilters. The PVDF-fiber-coated achieved flow rate of over 70 mL...
Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2), a tight junction protein predominantly expressed in the normal gastric epithelium, has recently emerged as potential therapeutic target various solid tumors. Despite growing interest, comprehensive data on CLDN18.2 expression across primary tumors from different organs and their corresponding metastatic lesions remain limited. This study analyzed 102 patients with adenocarcinomas ovarian carcinomas 81 cases of mucinous using immunohistochemistry. We evaluated...
We report a combined chemoimmunotherapy vehicle consisting of plasmid loaded with doxorubicin and evaluate its efficacy in two different tumor models. A stable complex was formed 1300:1 ratio bound to native via intercalation. Pharmacokinetics the showed much slower clearance from plasma up 3 h compared 10 min for free doxorubicin. In mice bearing NCI-H358 xenografts, lower doses (doxorubicin 0.5 mg/kg, 4 mg/kg) effectively reduced growth high (5 (68% versus 77%). Similar results were...
Ionizing radiation (IR) cytotoxicity is primarily mediated through reactive oxygen species (ROS). Since tumor cells neutralize ROS by utilizing reducing equivalents, we hypothesized that measurements of potential using real-time hyperpolarized (HP) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) can serve as a surrogate marker IR induced ROS. This hypothesis was tested in pre-clinical model anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC), an aggressive head neck malignancy. Human...
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a deadly cancer that progresses without any symptom, and oftentimes, it detected at an advanced stage. The lack of prior symptoms effective treatments have created knowledge gap in the management this lethal disease. This issue can be addressed by developing novel noninvasive imaging-based biomarkers PDAC. We explored vivo hyperpolarized (HP) 13C MRS pyruvate to lactate conversion ex 1H NMR spectroscopy panel well-annotated patient-derived PDAC...

The cell-surface glycoprotein CD44 is closely associated with cell proliferation, tumor invasion, and metastasis. Previous studies have reported that knockdown of short hairpin RNA (shRNA) reduced proliferation migration, induced apoptosis. However, more efficient means delivering small interference are still necessary. We developed an in vitro model CD44-shRNA recombinant adenovirus (Ad-CD44-shRNA) evaluated its ability to alter apoptosis human colon cancer cells. An shRNA against was used...
