Phenylethylammonium bromide-assisted solution-phase ligand exchange in CsPbBr3quantum dot solar cells.

CsPbBr3quantum dots (QDs) have excellent optical properties and good phase stability, but the long-chain ligands on their surfaces affect the charge transfer between QDs. Here, we propose a simple ligand exchange strategy: solution-phase ligand exchange. By adding an acetone solution of phenylethylammonium bromide to the purification process of CsPbBr3QDs, the long-chain ligands were effectively replaced and the electric coupling between QDs was improved. As a result, the power conversion efficiency of the solar cell was increased from 1.95% to 2.83%. Meanwhile, the stability of the devices was significantly improved in the unencapsulated case.

Bioinformatics analysis of differentially expressed genes related to ischemia and hypoxia in spinal cord injury and construction of miRNA-mRNA or mRNA-transcription factor interaction network.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies show that spinal cord ischemia and hypoxia is an important cause of spinal cord necrosis and neurological loss. Therefore, the study aimed to identify genes related to ischemia and hypoxia after spinal cord injury (SCI) and analyze their functions, regulatory mechanism, and potential in regulating immune infiltration. METHODS: The expression profiles of GSE5296, GSE47681, and GSE217797 were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses were performed to determine the function and pathway enrichment of ischemia- and hypoxia-related differentially expressed genes (IAHRDEGs) in SCI. LASSO model was constructed, and support vector machine analysis was used to identify key genes. The diagnostic values of key genes were evaluated using decision curve analysis and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. The interaction networks of miRNAs-IAHRDEGs and IAHRDEGs-transcription factors were predicted and constructed with the ENCORI database and Cytoscape software. CIBERSORT algorithm was utilized to analyze the correlation between key gene expression and immune cell infiltration. RESULTS: There were 27 IAHRDEGs identified to be significantly expressed in SCI at first. These genes were mostly significantly enriched in wound healing function and the pathway associated with lipid and atherosclerosis. Next, five key IAHRDEGs (Abca1, Casp1, Lpl, Procr, Tnfrsf1a) were identified and predicted to have diagnostic value. Moreover, the five key genes are closely related to immune cell infiltration. CONCLUSION: Abca1, Casp1, Lpl, Procr, and Tnfrsf1a may promote the pathogenesis of ischemic or hypoxic SCI by regulating vascular damage, inflammation, and immune infiltration.

Transition-Metal-Free Base-Promoted Deaminative Coupling of Gramines with Aminomaleimides.

The direct utilization of amines for C-C bond formation without prefunctionalization remains a significant challenge. Herein, we report the base-promoted deaminative coupling of gramines with aminomalaimides under redox-neutral conditions. In this operationally simple reaction, a series of indolmethyl-substituted aminomaleimides that emitted fluorescence were synthesized in good-to-excellent yields. Biological evaluation revealed that some products exhibited antiproliferative activity against human cancer cell lines.

Selective access to fused tetrahydroquinolines via a copper-catalysed oxidative three-component annulation reaction.

Via a copper-catalyzed three-component annulation reaction, we herein report a new method for the direct and syn-selective construction of cyclic ether-fused tetrahydroquinolines from readily available secondary anilines, saturated five or six-membered cyclic ethers, and paraformaldehyde. The synthesis features operational simplicity, excellent step and atom efficiency, good functionality and substrate compatibility. In comparison with the reported synthetic protocols capable of synthesizing N-alkyl fused tetrahydroquinolines, this newly developed chemistry allows access to both N-alkyl and N-aryl products. The current work complements the preparation of fused tetrahydroquinolines.

The Stress Phase Angle Measurement Using Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography.

The stress phase angle (SPA), defined as the temporal phase angle between circumferential stress (CS) in the arterial wall and wall shear stress (WSS), is utilized to investigate the interactions between CS and WSS. SPA serves as an important parameter for the early diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. In this study, we proposed a novel method for measuring SPA using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). The multi-M-mode scan strategy is adopted for interference spectrum acquisition. The phases of CS and WSS are extracted from the corresponding structural and flow velocity images of SD-OCT. The method is validated by measuring SPA in the outflow tract (OFT) of chick embryonic hearts and the common carotid artery of mice. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that OCT has been used for SPA measurement.

The small molecule chemical compound cinobufotalin attenuates resistance to DDP by inducing ENKUR expression to suppress MYH9-mediated c-Myc deubiquitination in lung adenocarcinoma.

The small molecule chemical compound cinobufotalin (CB) is reported to be a potential antitumour drug that increases cisplatin (DDP) sensitivity in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. In this study, we first found that CB decreased DDP resistance, migration and invasion in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Mechanistic studies showed that CB induced ENKUR expression by suppressing PI3K/AKT signalling to downregulate c-Jun, a negative transcription factor of ENKUR. Furthermore, ENKUR was shown to function as a tumour suppressor by binding to ß-catenin to decrease c-Jun expression, thus suppressing MYH9 transcription. Interestingly, MYH9 is a binding protein of ENKUR. The Enkurin domain of ENKUR binds to MYH9, and the Myosin_tail of MYH9 binds to ENKUR. Downregulation of MYH9 reduced the recruitment of the deubiquitinase USP7, leading to increased c-Myc ubiquitination and degradation, decreased c-Myc nuclear translocation, and inactivation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) signalling, thus attenuating DDP resistance. Our data demonstrated that CB is a promising antitumour drug and may be a candidate chemotherapeutic drug for LUAD patients.

Homocysteine promotes migration of adventitial fibroblasts via angiotensin II type 1 receptor activation to aggravate atherosclerosis.

This study clarified the effect of homocysteine on adventitial fibroblasts (AFs) and its relationship with angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R). Hyperhomocysteinemia aggravated the plaque area and increased the expression of IL-6, MCP-1, and macrophage infiltration in the plaque and adventitia of the aorta, whereas telmisartan improved this effect. Hyperhomocysteinemia induced the occurrence of the AFs marker protein ER-TR7 in the plaque and entire layer of the aorta, whereas telmisartan improved these effects, indicating that homocysteine induced AFs migration and that AT1R mediated this process. The migration experiments of AFs also reached the same conclusion. Homocysteine increased the phosphorylation levels of PKC and ERK1/2 in the AFs and HEK293A cells transfected with the AT1R plasmid, whereas telmisartan inhibited this effect, indicating that homocysteine activated AT1R intracellular signaling pathway. Homocysteine also increased the AFs At1R expression. Conclusion, homocysteine promoted adventitial inflammation, induced AFs migration, and aggravated atherosclerosis by activating AT1R.

Sparse precontrast T1 mapping for high-resolution whole-brain DCE-MRI.

PURPOSE: To develop and evaluate an efficient precontrast T1 mapping technique suitable for quantitative high-resolution whole-brain dynamic contrast-enhanced-magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI). METHODS: Variable flip angle (VFA) T1 mapping was considered that provides 1 × 1 × 2 mm3 resolution to match a recent high-resolution whole-brain DCE-MRI protocol. Seven FAs were logarithmically spaced from 1.5° to 15°. T1 and M0 maps were estimated using model-based reconstruction. This approach was evaluated using an anatomically realistic brain tumor digital reference object (DRO) with noise-mimicking 3T neuroimaging and fully sampled data acquired from one healthy volunteer. Methods were also applied on fourfold prospectively undersampled VFA data from 13 patients with high-grade gliomas. RESULTS: T1 -mapping precision decreased with undersampling factor R, althoughwhereas bias remained small before a critical R. In the noiseless DRO, T1 bias was <25 ms in white matter (WM) and <11 ms in brain tumor (BT). T1 standard deviation (SD) was <119.5 ms in WM (coefficient of variation [COV] ~11.0%) and <253.2 ms in BT (COV ~12.7%). In the noisy DRO, T1 bias was <50 ms in WM and <30 ms in BT. For R ≤ 10, T1 SD was <107.1 ms in WM (COV ~9.9%) and <240.9 ms in BT (COV ~12.1%). In the healthy subject, T1 bias was <30 ms for R ≤ 16. At R = 4, T1 SD was 171.4 ms (COV ~13.0%). In the prospective brain tumor study, T1 values were consistent with literature values in WM and BT. CONCLUSION: High-resolution whole-brain VFA T1 mapping is feasible with sparse sampling, supporting its use for quantitative DCE-MRI.

Synthesis and Activity Evaluation of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Inhibitors Based on 6-(Pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-indazole.

Human nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a common head and neck malignancy with high incidence in Southeast Asia and Southern China. It is necessary to develop safe, effective and inexpensive anticancer agents to improve the therapeutics of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. A series of small molecular compounds based on 6-(pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-indazole were synthesized and evaluated for antiproliferative activities against human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines SUNE1. Compounds 6b, 6c, 6e and 6l showed potent antiproliferative activities similar to positive control drug cisplatin in vitro with lower nephrotoxicity than it. N-[4-(1H-Indazol-6-yl)pyrimidin-2-yl]benzene-1,3-diamine (6l) was selected for further study. It was found that 6l induced mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and G2 /M phase arrest in SUNE1 cells. Furthermore, compound 6l at 10 mg/kg can suppress the growth of an implanted SUNE1 xenograft with a TGI% (tumor growth inhibition) value of 50 % and did not cause serious side effects in BALB/c nude mice. This study suggests that 6-(pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-indazole derivatives are a series of small molecule compounds with anti-nasopharyngeal carcinoma activities.

An oligothiophene compound neutralized influenza A viruses by interfering with hemagglutinin.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Recently influenza pandemic outbreaks were caused by emerging H5N1, H7N9 and H1N1 viruses. However, virucidal disinfectants are mainly unspecific and toxic. It is tactical to discover specific virucidal compounds. METHODS: The inhibitory potency was determined in H5N1 pseudovirus system; Interactions of compounds with hemagglutinin (HA) were detected with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and further calculated with molecular docking. Virucidal effect was also estimated in influenza virus A/Puerto Rico/8/34(H1N1). Prevention efficacy was further estimated in mice model. RESULTS: Oligothiophene compound 4sc was potently virucidal against H5N1 pseudovirus with selective index>1169 (IC50=0.17±0.01µM). Pseudovirus assay revealed 4sc may interact with HA. However, HA inhibition test indicated 4sc did not interact with receptor pocket in HA. SPR detection revealed 4sc interacted directly with HA and its HA2 subunits. Molecular docking analysis revealed that 4sc interacted with the cavity of HA2 stem region and HA1-HA2 interface which consist of 7 residues: L22, K262, G472 and F1102 in HA2; M241, E251 and N271 in HA1. 4sc also potently and irreversibly neutralized PR8 (H1N1) virus, causing 105.06±0.26 fold decrease of virus titer after exposure for 10min. 4sc blocked PR8 transmission to MDCK cells. Amazingly, virucidal effect of 4sc was not significantly reduced even at 4°C. Furthermore, 4sc blocked viral transmission to mice. CONCLUSION: Oligothiophene compound 4sc is a novel selective virucide of influenza virus, which blocks entry by interfering viral hemagglutinin. Due to promising safety profile and stable virucidal effect at 4°C, 4sc may be useful in disinfecting H5N1 and H1N1 influenza virus.

Thioridazine upregulates programmed cell death 4 to induce apoptosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma through the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway.

Thioridazine (THZ) has been identified as a potential regulator of tumour progression, and programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) has been reported as a novel tumour suppressor. This study aimed to investigate the link between PDCD4 and THZ in the regulation of nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) cell proliferation. The effect of THZ on NPC cells was determined using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays. Then, the involvement of apoptosis and cell cycle in the THZ-mediated regulation of cell viability was assessed by flow cytometry. Related mRNAs and proteins were subsequently examined by real-time PCR and western blot, respectively. After transfection with the PDCD4-siRNA, pGC-FU-GFP-PDCD4 vector and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor Ly294002, we investigated the antagonistic effects of THZ and PDCD4 on NPC-related protein expression. MTT assays showed that THZ treatment suppressed cell viability. THZ-treated cells were arrested at the G1/G0 phase and showed a significantly increased apoptotic fraction. Furthermore, PDCD4-siRNA antagonized THZ treatment and promoted NPC cell proliferation. Western blot analysis showed that PDCD4 overexpression or PI3K inhibition by LY294002 significantly reduced the expression of phospho-PI3K, phospho-Akt, phospho-mammalian target of rapamycin and phospho-p70s6k, but not their total protein levels. In conclusion, our findings show that THZ and PDCD4 exert antagonistic effects on NPC cell proliferation, probably through the PI3K/Akt pathway. Moreover, these results provide an insight into the mechanism by which THZ targets PDCD4 in NPC cell lines and suggest that the ectopic expression of PDCD4 is a potential therapeutic strategy.

Difunctionalization of alkenes with iodine and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) at room temperature for the synthesis of 1-(tert-butylperoxy)-2-iodoethanes.

We developed a direct vicinal difunctionalization of alkenes with iodine and TBHP at room temperature. This iodination and peroxidation in a one-pot synthesis produces 1-(tert-butylperoxy)-2-iodoethanes, which are inaccessible through conventional synthetic methods. This method generates multiple radical intermediates in situ and has excellent regioselectivity, a broad substrate scope and mild conditions. The iodine and peroxide groups of 1-(tert-butylperoxy)-2-iodoethanes have several potential applications and allow further chemical modifications, enabling the preparation of synthetically valuable molecules.

Knowledge, attitude and practice towards insomnia and sleep hygiene among patients with chronic insomnia in Northwest China in 2023: a cross-sectional survey.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) towards insomnia and sleep hygiene among patients with chronic insomnia. DESIGN: Web-based cross-sectional survey. SETTING: Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital (northwest China) between January 2023 and May 2023. PARTICIPANTS: Patients with chronic insomnia. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: Demographic characteristics and KAP towards insomnia and sleep hygiene were collected by distributing a questionnaire developed by the authors. RESULTS: A total of 613 people participated in this study, with a Mean Knowledge Score of 7.63±2.56 (total score of 12), a Mean Attitude Score of 48.39±6.643 (total score of 70) and a Mean Practice Score of 42.37±8.592 (total score of 70). Knowledge was significantly correlated with attitude (r=0.447, p<0.001) and practice (r=0.327, p<0.001), and attitude was significantly correlated with practice (r=0.486, p<0.001). Multivariable logistic regression showed that higher knowledge (OR=1.181 (1.062-1.314), p=0.002) and better attitude (OR=1.171 (1.124-1.221), p<0.001) were independently associated with good practice. According to the structural equation modelling analysis, knowledge directly influenced practice (ß=0.457, p=<0.001) and attitude (ß=1.160, p=<0.001), while attitude influenced practice (ß=0.550, p=<0.001). CONCLUSION: The KAP towards insomnia and sleep hygiene among patients with chronic insomnia in Northwest China in 2023 was moderate, with better practice showing signs of being influenced by better knowledge and more positive attitudes.

A new series of C-6 unsubstituted tetrahydropyrimidines: convenient one-pot chemoselective synthesis, aggregation-induced and size-independent emission characteristics.

A new series of C-6 unsubstituted tetrahydropyrimidines 6 have been directly synthesized via a convenient urea-catalyzed chemoselective five-component reaction (5CR) under mild conditions. Compounds 6 show typical aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) characteristics because they are practically no emissive in solution but emit blue or green fluorescence in aggregates with fluorescence yield up to 93%. One of the 5CR products, 6aa, exhibits blue- and green-fluorescence aggregates (bf- and gf-aggregates). The bf- and gf-aggregates are prepared under different conditions and proved to result from different J-aggregations by single-crystal X-ray analysis. In addition, the bf- and gf-aggregates of 6aa show unusual size-independent emission (SIE) characteristics because their maximum emission wavelengths in different sizes (suspension particles, film, powder and crystals) are the same, 434 and 484 nm, respectively. Based on the obtained experimental results, the 5CR mechanism, the origins of AIEE and SIE characteristics are discussed.

Direct construction of 5-methyl-2-phenylisoxazol-3(2H)-ones via hypervalent iodine mediated sequential tandem oxidative cyclization of 3-oxo-N-phenylbutanamides catalyzed by zinc oxide (ZnO).

A sequential oxidative tandem cyclization reaction mediated by a combination of (diacetoxyiodo)benzene (DIB) with zinc oxide (ZnO) is presented for the synthesis of 5-methyl-2-phenylisoxazol-3(2H)-ones from ß-ketobutylanilides. A variety of ß-ketobutylanilide compounds were used in this approach, and a wide range of functionalized 5-methylisoxazol-3(2H)-ones were obtained in good to excellent yields.

Calycosin ameliorates spinal cord injury by targeting Hsp90 to inhibit oxidative stress and apoptosis of nerve cells.

BACKGROUND: Zhenbao pill is effective in protecting against spinal cord injury (SCI). We attempt to explore the characteristics of calycosin (a main monomer of Zhenbao pill) in SCI and its relative mechanism. METHODS: The target of calycosin was screened using pharmacological network analysis. The SCI cell model was constructed using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and the animal model was developed by compressing spinal cord with a vascular clamp. Flow cytometry was conducted to test reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and cell apoptosis. Detection of malondialdehyde (MDA) activity and Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were performed using relative kits. Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) was examined using western blot and quantitative real-time PCR. Motor function tests were carried out. The hematoxylin-eosin and Nissl staining were conducted. RESULTS: In SCI models, ROS, MDA, and cell apoptosis were elevated, SOD and HSP90 levels were restrained, while calycosin addition reversed the above results. Besides, calycosin application or HSP90 overexpression enhanced phosphorylation of protein kinase B (Akt) but weakened that of apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) and p38, while HSP90 inhibitor 17-AAG treatment restrained the above results. Meanwhile, the injection of calycosin improved the motor function in SCI model rats. Furthermore, the pathologic results also clarified the positive effect of calycosin on SCI. CONCLUSION: HSP90 was lowly expressed in SCI models. Calycosin alleviated SCI by promoting HSP90 up-regulation and inhibiting oxidative stress and apoptosis of nerve cells.

Modified Erchen decoction ameliorates cognitive dysfunction in vascular dementia rats via inhibiting JAK2/STAT3 and JNK/BAX signaling pathways.

BACKGROUND: Vascular dementia (VaD) is one of the most common clinical syndromes of progressive neurocognitive dysfunction with uncertain mechanisms. Modified Erchen decoction (MECD), developed from "Erchen decoction (ECD)" recorded in "Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang", showed a good effect in the treatment of VaD. However, its therapeutic mechanism is still unclear. PURPOSE: This study aimed to elucidate the multi-target mechanisms of MECD against VaD in vivo and in vitro. METHODS: VaD model was established by two-vessel obstruction (2-VO) in Sprague-Dawley rats. Six groups, including the control, 2-VO operation, MECD treatment (2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 g kg-1 d-1), donepezil hydrochloride (positive control, 0.45 g kg-1 d-1) were designed in the whole experiment. After oral administration for 4 weeks, the effects of MECD were verified by behavioral experiments, histological observation, and biochemical index analysis. The chemical profiling of MECD was performed by UHPLC-Orbitrap Fusion-HRMS, and a "compound-target-pathway" multivariate network was constructed to validate and elucidate its pharmacological mechanisms. RESULTS: Compared with 2-VO group, MECD treatment significantly alleviated anxiety and improved spatial memory in VaD rats according to the open field test (OFT) and Y-maze test. A significant increase in neuron number was observed from hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained images in cornu ammonis 1 (CA1) of the hippocampal region after MECD treatment. On the one hand, MECD reduced the plasma levels of triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), malondialdehyde (MDA), and amyloid-beta 42 (Aß42), and inhibited mRNA expression of interleukin-1 beta (Il-1ß) and Il-6 in the hippocampus. On the other hand, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) were significantly increased after treatment with MECD. Moreover, MECD reduced the mRNA expression and protein expression of janus kinase 2 (JAK2), signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and BCL2-associated X (BAX) in the brain of 2-VO rats. Furthermore, 71 compounds were identified from the extract of MECD. Among them, liquiritin and isochlorogenic acid C gave inhibiting effects on the mRNA expression of Jnk. In addition, liquiritin and hesperetin were conformed with the inhibition of Jak2 transcription level in vitro experiments. CONCLUSION: MECD has demonstrated a significant amelioration effect on cognitive dysfunction in VaD rats via JAK2/STAT3 and JNK/BAX signaling pathways, which represents an innovative insight into the "activate blood and eliminate phlegm" theory.

Organic synthesis using (diacetoxyiodo)benzene (DIB): Unexpected and novel oxidation of 3-oxo-butanamides to 2,2-dihalo-N-phenylacetamides.

A novel and reliable method for the direct preparation of 2,2-dihalo-N-phenylacetamides is reported. The key transformation involves the cleavage of a carbon-carbon bond in the presence of DIB and a Lewis acid as the halogen source, and thus this method significantly expands the value of DIB as a unique and powerful tool in chemical synthesis. This protocol not only adds a new aspect to reactions that use other hypervalent iodine reagents but also provides a wide space for the synthesis of disubstituted acetamides.

Chemically synthesized cinobufagin suppresses nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasis by inducing ENKUR to stabilize p53 expression.

Clinically, the metastasis of tumor cells is the key factor of death in patients with cancer. In this study, we used a model of metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) to explore the effects of a new chemical, cinobufagin (CB), combined with cisplatin (DDP). We observed that chemically synthesized CB strongly decreased the metastasis of NPC. Furthermore, a better therapeutic effect was shown when CB was combined with DDP. Molecular analysis revealed that CB induced ENKUR expression by deregulating the PI3K/AKT pathway and suppressing c-Jun, an oncogenic transcriptional factor that binds to the ENKUR promoter and negatively modulated its expression in NPC. ENKUR as a tumor suppressor binds to MYH9 and decreases its expression by recruiting ß-catenin via its enkurin domain to prevent its nuclear accumulation, which therefore suppresses c-Jun-induced MYH9 expression. Subsequently, downregulated MYH9 reduces the enlistment of E3 ligase UBE3A and thus decreases the UBE3A-mediated ubiquitination degradation of p53, a key tumor suppressor that decreases epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Clinical sample analysis demonstrated that the ENKUR expression level was significantly reduced in NPC tissues. Its decreased expression substantially promoted clinical progression and reflected poor prognosis for patients with NPC. This study demonstrated that CB induced ENKUR to repress the ß-catenin/c-Jun/MYH9 signal and thus decreased UBE3A-mediated p53 ubiquitination degradation. As a result, the EMT signal was inactivated to suppress NPC metastasis.

CCDC65, a Gene Knockout that leads to Early Death of Mice, acts as a potentially Novel Tumor Suppressor in Lung Adenocarcinoma.

CCDC65 is a member of the coiled-coil domain-containing protein family and was only reported in gastric cancer by our group. We first observed that it is downregulated in lung adenocarcinoma based on the TCGA database. Reduced CCDC65 protein was shown as an unfavorable factor promoting the clinical progression in lung adenocarcinoma. Subsequently, CCDC65-/- mice were found possibly dead of hydrocephalus. Compared with the CCDC65+/+ mice, the downregulation of CCDC65 in CCDC65+/- mice significantly increased the formation ability of lung cancer induced by urethane. In the subsequent investigation, we observed that CCDC65 functions as a tumor suppressor repressing cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Molecular mechanism showed that CCDC65 recruited E3 ubiquitin ligase FBXW7 to induce the ubiquitination degradation of c-Myc, an oncogenic transcription factor in tumors, and reduced c-Myc binding to ENO1 promoter, which suppressed the transcription of ENO1. In addition, CCDC65 also recruited FBXW7 to degrade ENO1 protein by ubiquitinated modulation. The downregulated ENO1 further reduced the phosphorylation activation of AKT1, which thus inactivated the cell cycle signal. Our data demonstrated that CCDC65 is a potential tumor suppressor by recruiting FBWX7 to suppress c-Myc/ENO1-induced cell cycle signal in lung adenocarcinoma.
