Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are important pieces of equipment for neutrophils. Excess NETs play promoting roles in cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT). Therefore, directing formation is a promising therapeutic strategy and related diseases. Diosmetin, an antioxidant flavonoid derived from dietary sources, might be involved CAT. Firstly, the tests cell-free DNA Immunofluorescence were applied to evaluate levels Luminol-based chemiluminescence DCFH-DA probe used detect reactive oxygen...
Classical tooth development theory suggests that dental papilla cells (DPCs) are the precursor of odontoblasts, which responsible for dentin development. However, our previous studies have indicated follicle (DFCs) can differentiate into odontoblasts. To further understanding development, and differences in dentinogenesis between DFCs DPCs, odontogenic differentiation DPCs was characterized vitro vivo. were individually combined with treated matrix (TDM) before they subcutaneously implanted...

We studied the relationship between 2,2,4,4-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (PBDE-47) and oxidative DNA damage as well mode of interaction PBDE-47 2,2,4,4,5,5-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB153) by incubating SH-SY5Y cells in four doses (0, 1, 5, 10μM) and/or 5μM PCB153 100μM NAC (N-acetylcysteine) for 24 h. Results showed that reactive oxygen species (ROS) production + 10μM groups were significantly higher than control group (p < 0.05). strand breakage 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels increased...
A novel protocol for synthesizing N-alkyl indoles from readily available N-nitrosoanilines and iodonium ylides through the rhodium(III)-catalyzed C-H bond activation/intramolecular cyclization reaction has been described. This strategy employs nitroso as a traceless directing group. The transformation features powerful reactivity, tolerates various functional groups, proceeds with moderate yields under mild conditions, providing straightforward approach to access structurally diverse...
Abstract The mechanisms underlying fluoride‐induced apoptosis in neurons still remain unknown. To investigate apoptosis, caspase‐3 activity, and mRNA expression of Fas, Fas‐L, caspases (‐3 ‐8) induced by fluoride, human neuroblastoma (SH‐SY5Y) cells were incubated with 0, 20, 40, 80 mg/L sodium fluoride (NaF) for 24 h vitro . data show that cell viability the 40 groups significantly lower than control group. percentages markedly higher those group, they increased increase concentration....
The study aims to demonstrate the antimicrobial and disinfectant resistance phenotypes genotypes of Escherichia coli isolates obtained from giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca). Antimicrobial testing was performed according standard disk diffusion method. minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) disinfectants were determined using agar dilution All screened for presence genes further analysed genetic relatedness by pulse‐field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Results showed that 46·6% resistant...

Abstract Bloom syndrome protein (BLM) is a conserved RecQ family helicase involved in the maintenance of genome stability. BLM has been widely recognized as “caretaker” that processes structured DNA. In contrast, our knowledge how behaves on single‐stranded (ss) DNA still limited. Here, we demonstrate possesses intrinsic ability for phase separation and can co‐phase separate with ssDNA to form dynamically arrested protein/ssDNA co‐condensates. The introduction ATP potentiates capability...
Abstract The mechanisms underlying the neurotoxicology of endemic fluorosis still remain obscure. To explore lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage, intracellular Ca 2+ concentration ([Ca ] i ) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production induced by fluoride, human neuroblastoma (SH‐SY5Y) cells were incubated with sodium fluoride (NaF, 20, 40, 80 mg/L) for 24 h, 40 mg/L NaF 3, 6, 12, 18, N ‐acetyl‐ L ‐cysteine (NAC), ethyleneglycol‐bis‐(β‐aminoethyl ether)‐ , ′, ′‐tetraacetic acid (EGTA),...
Abstract The tripartite ParABS system mediates chromosome segregation in a wide range of bacteria. Dimeric ParB was proposed to nucleate on parS sites and spread neighboring DNA. However, how properly distributed dimers further compact chromosomal DNA into higher-order nucleoprotein complex for partitioning remains poorly understood. Here, using single-molecule approach, we show that tens Bacillus subtilis (Spo0J) proteins can stochastically multimerize stably bind nonspecific introduction...
Osteogenesis and senescence of BMSCs play great roles in age-related bone loss. However, the causes these dysfunctions remain unclear. In this study, we identified a differentially expressed ASPH gene middle-aged elderly-aged groups which were obtained from GSE35955. Subsequent analysis various databases, such as TCGA, GTEx CCLE, revealed that had positive correlations with several osteogenic markers. The depletion mouse Asph suppressed capacity differentiation marrow mesenchymal stem cells...
Single-stranded guanine-rich RNA sequences have a propensity to fold into compact G-quadruplexes (RG4s). The conformational transitions of these molecules provide an important way regulate their biological functions. Here, we examined the stability and conformation RG4-forming sequence identified near end human telomerase RNA. We found that proximal single-stranded (ss) significantly impairs RG4 at physiological K+ concentrations, resulting in reduced rupture force ∼ 24.4 pN easier...
Wisp3 gene mutation was shown to cause spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda with progressive arthropathy (SRDT-PA), but the underlying mechanism is not clear. To clarify this mechanism, we constructed wild and mutated expression vectors transfected into human chondrocytes lines C-20/A4; proteins subcellular localization, cell proliferation, apoptosis, Wisp3-mediated were determined, dynamic secretion of collagen in analyzed by (14)C-proline incorporation experiment. Mutated protein increased...

Ethylene (E) copolymers with isoprene (IP) possessing higher glass-transition temperatures (Tg values, −7.1 to 29.2 °C) than those prepared by the reported catalysts below −18 have been in copolymerization using half-titanocene containing phenoxide ligand, Cp′TiCl2(O-2,6-iPr2-4-R-C6H2) [Cp′ = C5Me5 (Cp*), R H (1), SiEt3 (2)]. Their microstructural analysis NMR spectra revealed that contained cyclopentane (major) and cyclohexane units, formed cyclization after IP subsequent ethylene...
Abstract The tripartite ParABS system mediates chromosome segregation in the majority of bacterial species. Typically, DNA-bound ParB proteins around parS sites condense chromosomal DNA into a higher-order multimeric nucleoprotein complex for ParA-driven partition. Despite extensive studies, molecular mechanism underlying dynamic assembly partition remains unclear. Herein, we demonstrate that Bacillus subtilis (Spo0J), through multimerization its N-terminal domain, forms phase-separated...
