Cytosolic DNA activates cGAS (cytosolic sensor cyclic AMP-GMP synthase)-STING (stimulator of interferon genes) signaling, which triggers and inflammatory responses that help defend against microbial infection cancer. However, aberrant cytosolic self-DNA in Aicardi-Goutière's syndrome constituently active gain-of-function mutations STING STING-associated vasculopathy with onset infancy (SAVI) patients lead to excessive type I interferons proinflammatory cytokines, cause difficult-to-treat...
Objective To investigate the molecular function of splicing factor SRSF6 in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression and discover candidate chemicals for therapy through targeting SRSF6. Design We performed comprehensive analysis expression 311 CRC samples, The Cancer Genome Atlas Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Functional was vitro vivo . SRSF6-regulated alternative (AS) its binding motif were identified by next-generation RNA-sequencing RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (RIP-seq),...
Leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) is a kind of proteolytic enzymes and associated closely with pathogenesis cancer liver injury. Accurate detection LAP activity high sensitivity selectivity imperative to detect its distribution dynamic changes for understanding LAP's function early diagnosing the disease states. However, fluorescent in living systems challenging. To date, rarely probes have been reported imaging vivo. In this study, novel probe (TMN-Leu) was developed by conjugating near-infrared...
Abstract Background Drought is one of the main concerns worldwide and restricts development agriculture. Silicon improves drought resistance plants, but underlying mechanism remains unclear. Results We sequenced transcriptomes both control silicon-treated peach seedlings under stress to identify genes or gene networks that could be managed increase tolerance seedlings. Peach ( Prunus persica ) were used analyse effects silicon on plant growth physiological indexes related stress. The results...
As a novel protein knockdown tool, proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) can induce potent degradation of target proteins by hijacking E3 ubiquitin ligases. However, the uncontrollable disruption PROTACs is prone to cause "off-target" toxicity after systemic administration. Herein, we designed photocaged-PROTAC (phoBET1) and loaded it in UCNPs-based mesoporous silica nanoparticles (UMSNs) construct NIR light-activatable PROTAC nanocage (UMSNs@phoBET1) for controllable degradation. Upon...
Introduction Chronic injury to the rectus femoris muscle induces and exacerbates progression of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). However, lesion characteristics in KOA at different stages have not been fully characterized. The aim this study was analyze pattern investigate mechanism by which ultrasound-guided acupotomy operations can prevent control KOA. Methods Early, middle, late-stage rabbit models were constructed using modified Videman method. Ultrasonography used record elastic modulus...
Constitutive activation of signal transducer and activator transcription 3 (STAT3) has been validated as an attractive therapeutic target for cancer therapy. To stop both STAT3 dimerization, a viable strategy is to design inhibitors blocking its SH2 domain phosphotyrosine binding site that responsible actions. A new fragment-based drug (FBDD) strategy, in silico site-directed FBDD, was applied this study. designed novel compound,...
Nowadays, simultaneous inhibition of multiple targets through drug combination is an important anticancer strategy owing to the complex mechanism behind tumorigenesis. Recent studies have demonstrated that histone deacetylases (HDACs) will lead compensated activation a notorious cancer-related target, signal transducer and activator transcription 3 (STAT3), in breast cancer cascade, which probably limits anti-proliferation effect HDAC inhibitors solid tumors. By incorporating pharmacophore...
ZnO tetrapods and nanorods were synthesized on nanocrystal substrates by a vapor transport process. The source materials ZnCO3 powder powder, respectively, which reduced graphite to yield different amounts of the vapor. catalysts layers prepared successive ionic layer adsorption reaction method. effect structure was investigated. Results showed that for tetropds constituted four pillarlike obtained, while array formed. Possible growth mechanism room-temperature photoluminescence...
Signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling is persistently activated could contribute to tumorigenesis medulloblastoma. Numerous studies have demonstrated that inhibition the persistent STAT3 pathway results in decreased proliferation increased apoptosis human cancer cells, indicating a viable molecular target for therapy. In this study, we investigated novel non-peptide, cell-permeable small molecule, named LY5, medulloblastoma cells. LY5 inhibited...
Transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) plays a role in the maintenance of quiescent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) vivo. We asked whether TGF-β1 controls cell cycle status HSCs vitro to enhance reconstitution activity. To examine effect on HSC function, we used an culture system which single divide with retention their short- and long-term ability. Extensive single-cell analyses showed that, regardless its concentration, slowed down progression but consequently suppressed self-renewal...
Abstract Lung cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers with poor prognosis and high resistance rate. The family signal transducer activator transcriptions (STATs) appears to modulate in non-small cell lung (NSCLC). In this work, we demonstrated that STAT3/ZEB1 a critical axis gefitinib resistance. STAT3-targeted inhibition therefore new potential therapeutic strategy for cancer. Our small molecule screening identified relatively specific inhibitor, LL1. Pharmacological biochemical...
The two proteases, PLpro and Mpro, of SARS-CoV-2 are essential for replication the virus. Using a structure-based co-pharmacophore screening approach, we developed novel dual-targeted inhibitor that is equally potent in inhibiting Mpro SARS-CoV-2. contains warhead, which can form covalent bond with catalytic cysteine residue either enzyme. maximum rate inactivation comparable to most inhibitors reported viral proteases drugs currently clinical use. inhibition appears be very specific...
Unpredicted human organ level toxicity remains one of the major reasons for drug clinical failure. There is a critical need cost-efficient strategies in early stages development assessment. At present, artificial intelligence methods are popularly regarded as promising solution chemical toxicology. Thus, we provided comprehensive silico prediction models eight significant end points using machine learning, deep and transfer learning algorithms. In this work, our results showed that...
Targeting signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a potential anticancer strategy. However, STAT3 inhibitors with good selectivity bioavailability are rare.
