RESUMEN

Among the numerous complications of diabetes mellitus, diabetic wounds seriously affect patients' quality of life and result in considerable psychological distress. Promoting blood vessel regeneration in wounds is a crucial step in wound healing. Lonicerin (LCR), a bioactive compound found in plants of the Lonicera japonica species and other honeysuckle plants, exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, and it recently has been found to alleviate ulcerative colitis by enhancing autophagy. In this study we investigated the efficacy of LCR in treatment of diabetic wounds and the underlying mechanisms. By comparing the single-cell transcriptomic data from healing and non-healing states in diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) of 5 patients, we found that autophagy and SIRT signaling activation played a crucial role in mitigating inflammation and oxidative stress, and promoting cell survival in wound healing processes. In TBHP-treated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), we showed that LCR alleviated cell apoptosis, and enhanced the cell viability, migration and angiogenesis. Furthermore, we demonstrated that LCR treatment dose-dependently promoted autophagy in TBHP-treated HUVECs by upregulating Sirt1 expression, and exerted its anti-apoptotic effect through the Sirt1-autophagy axis. Knockdown of Sirt1 significantly decreased the level of autophagy, and mitigated the anti-apoptotic effect of LCR. In a STZ-induced diabetic rat model, administration of LCR significantly promoted wound healing, which was significantly attenuated by Sirt1 knockdown. This study highlights the potential of LCR as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of diabetic wounds and provides insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying its effects.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been associated with a range of adverse health outcomes, with pain being potentially one of them. This population-based cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the associations between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and pain in Chinese adults and evaluate whether physical activity and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics modify this associations. METHODS: Cross-sectional data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), were utilized in this study. A total of 9923 respondents with information on 12 ACE indicators and 15 self-reported body pains were included. Logistic regression models were used to assess associations of the ACEs and pain. Modification of the associations by physical activity, demographic and socioeconomic characteristics was assessed by stratified analyses and tests for interaction. RESULTS: Among the 9923 individuals included in the primary analyses, 5098 (51.4%) males and the mean (SD) age was 61.18 (10·.44) years. Compared with individuals with 0 ACEs, those who with ≥ 5 ACEs had increased risk of single pains and multiple pain. A dose-response association was found between the number of ACEs and the risk of pain (e.g. neck pain for ≥ 5 ACEs vs. none: OR, 1.107; 95% CI, 0.903-1.356; p < 0.001 for trend). In the associations of each body pain with each ACE indicator, most ACE indicators were associated with an increased risk of pain. In addition, physical activity, sociodemographic and socioeconomic characteristics, such as age, sex, educational level, area of residence, childhood economic hardship, did not demonstrate a significant modify on the associations between ACEs and pain. CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that cumulative ACE exposure is associated with increased odds of self-reported pain in Chinese adults, regardless of adult physical activity, sociodemographic and socioeconomic characteristics.

RESUMEN

Recently, accumulating evidence has demonstrated that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) play a vital role in oncogenicity. Nevertheless, the regulatory mechanisms and functions remain poorly understood, especially for lncRNAs and circRNAs. In this study, we simultaneously detected, for the first time, the expression profiles of the whole transcriptome, including miRNA, circRNA and lncRNA + mRNA, in five pairs of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and matched non-carcinoma tissues by microarrays. Five miRNAs, four circRNAs, three lncRNAs and five mRNAs that were dysregulated were selected to confirm the verification of the microarray data by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) in 20 pairs of LSCC samples. We constructed LSCC-related competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks of lncRNAs and circRNAs (circRNA or lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA) respectively. Functional annotation revealed the lncRNA-mediated ceRNA network were enriched for genes involved in the tumor-associated pathways. Hsa_circ_0033988 with the highest degree in the circRNA-mediated ceRNA network was associated with fatty acid degradation, which was responsible for the depletion of fat in tumor-associated cachexia. Finally, to clarify the ncRNA co-regulation mechanism, we constructed a circRNA-lncRNA co-regulated network by integrating the above two networks and identified 9 modules for further study. A subnetwork of module 2 with the most dysregulated microRNAs was extracted to establish the ncRNA-involved TGF-ß-associated pathway. In conclusion, our findings provide a high-throughput microarray data of the coding and non-coding RNAs and establish the foundation for further functional research on the ceRNA regulatory mechanism of non-coding RNAs in LSCC.

RESUMEN

The nanosized Bi-doped SnO2/reduced graphene oxide 3D hybrids have been synthesized via one-step hydrothermal method. The structures, morphologies, photocatalytic activities of the as-prepared samples were discussed, respectively. The formation mechanism of the as-prepared hybrids was also proposed. Experimental results indicated that the usage amount of Bi2Sn2O7 obviously affected the photocatalytic performance of the as-prepared products. When it was 450 mg, the as-prepared sample possessed the band gap energy of 1.9 eV and the photocatalytic efficiency of 90% in 210 min for degradation of rhodamine B solution. In addition, triethylene tetramine and the as-prepared carbon hydrogel could act as reductant to synergistically reduce Bi2Sn2O7 into Bi-doped SnO2 particles during the formation of the hybrids.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a lethal disease, while the precise underlying molecular mechanisms of HCC pathogenesis remain to be defined. MicroRNA (miRNA), a class of non-coding small RNAs, can post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression. Altered miRNA expression has been reported in HCCs. This study assessed expression and the oncogenic activity of miRNA-10b (miR-10b) in HCC. METHODS: Forty-five paired human HCC and adjacent non-tumor tissues were collected for qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry analysis of miR-10b and CUB and Sushi multiple domains 1 (CSMD1), respectively. We analyzed the clinicopathological data from these patients to further determine if there was an association between miR-10b and CSMD1. HCC cell lines were used to assess the effects of miR-10b mimics or inhibitors on cell viability, migration, invasion, cell cycle distribution, and colony formation. Luciferase assay was used to assess miR-10b binding to the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of CSMD1. RESULTS: miR-10b was highly expressed in HCC tissues compared to normal tissues. In vitro, overexpression of miR-10b enhanced HCC cell viability, migration, and invasion; whereas, downregulation of miR-10b expression suppressed these properties in HCC cells. Injection of miR-10b mimics into tumor cell xenografts also promoted xenograft growth in nude mice. Bioinformatics and luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that CSMD1 was the target gene of miR-10b. Immunocytochemical, immunohistochemical, and qRT-PCR data indicated that miR-10b decreased CSMD1 expression in HCC cells. CONCLUSIONS: We showed that miR-10b is overexpressed in HCC tissues and miR-10b mimics promoted HCC cell viability and invasion via targeting CSMD1 expression. Our findings suggest that miR-10b acts as an oncogene by targeting the tumor suppressor gene, CSMD1, in HCC.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Pathological changes, such as microglia activation in the hippocampus frequently occur in individuals with animal models of depression; however, they may share a common cellular mechanism, such as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitochondria associated membranes (MAMs) are communication platforms between ER and mitochondria. This study aimed to investigate the role of intracellular stress responses, especially structural and functional changes of MAMs in depression. METHODS: We used chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) to mimic depression in C57 mice to investigate the pathophysiological changes in the hippocampus associated with depression and assess the antidepressant effect of electroacupuncture (EA). Molecular, histological, and electron microscopic techniques were utilized to study intracellular stress responses, including the ER stress pathway reaction, mitochondrial damage, and structural and functional changes in MAMs in the hippocampus after CSDS. Proteomics technology was employed to explore protein-level changes in MAMs caused by CSDS. RESULTS: CSDS caused mitochondrial dysfunction, ER stress, closer contact between ER and mitochondria, and enrichment of functional protein clusters at MAMs in hippocampus along with depressive-like behaviors. Also, EA showed beneficial effects on intracellular stress responses and depressive-like behaviors in CSDS mice. LIMITATION: The cellular specificity of MAMs related protein changes in CSDS mice was not explored. CONCLUSIONS: In the hippocampus, ER stress and mitochondrial damage occur, along with enriched mitochondria-ER interactions and MAM-related protein enrichment, which may contribute to depression's pathophysiology. EA may improve depression by regulating intracellular stress responses.

RESUMEN

Extracellular ATP (eATP) signaling through the P2X7 receptor pathway is widely believed to trigger NLRP3 inflammasome assembly in microglia, potentially contributing to depression. However, the cellular stress responses of microglia to both eATP and stress itself remain largely unexplored. Mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs) is a platform facilitating calcium transport between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria, regulating ER stress responses and mitochondrial homeostasis. This study aims to investigate how MAMs influence microglial reaction and their involvement in the development of depression-like symptoms in response to chronic social defeat stress (CSDS). CSDS induced ER stress, MAMs' modifications, mitochondrial damage, and the formation of the IP3R3-GRP75-VDAC1 complex at the ER-mitochondria interface in hippocampal microglia, all concomitant with depression-like behaviors. Additionally, exposing microglia to eATP to mimic CSDS conditions resulted in analogous outcomes. Furthermore, knocking down GRP75 in BV2 cells impeded ER-mitochondria contact, calcium transfer, ER stress, mitochondrial damage, mitochondrial superoxide production, and NLRP3 inflammasome aggregation induced by eATP. In addition, reduced GRP75 expression in microglia of Cx3cr1CreER/+Hspa9f/+ mice lead to reduce depressive behaviors, decreased NLRP3 inflammasome aggregation, and fewer ER-mitochondria contacts in hippocampal microglia during CSDS. Here, we show the role of MAMs, particularly the formation of a tripartite complex involving IP3R3, GRP75, and VDAC1 within MAMs, in facilitating communication between the ER and mitochondria in microglia, thereby contributing to the development of depression-like phenotypes in male mice.

RESUMEN

We study the nonlinear localized modes in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates with parity-time-symmetric Scarf-II potential, which can be described by the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations. Firstly, we investigate the linear stability of the nonlinear modes in the focusing and defocusing cases, and get the stable and unstable domains of nonlinear localized modes. Then we validate the results by evolving them with 5% perturbations as an initial condition. Finally, we get stable solitons by considering excitations of the soliton via adiabatical change of system parameters. These findings of nonlinear modes can be potentially applied to physical experiments of matter waves in Bose-Einstein condensates.

RESUMEN

This paper investigates the asymptotic stability and synchronization of fractional-order (FO) memristive neural networks with time delays. Based on the FO comparison principle and inverse Laplace transform method, the novel sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of a FO nonlinear system are given. Then, based on the above conclusions, the sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability and synchronization of FO memristive neural networks with time delays are investigated. The results in this paper have a wider coverage of situations and are more practical than the previous related results. Finally, the validity of the results is checked by two examples.

RESUMEN

Inflammatory microglia and P2X7R are involved in the development of stress-induced depression. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and mitochondrial damage play an important role in depression and microglial activation. Bullatine A (BLA) has anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic effects, and can be used as a P2X7R antagonist. We found that Bullatine A can effectively inhibit the calcium overload of mitochondria and the increase of ER and mitochondrial colocalization caused by eATP (extracellular ATP) in BV2-cells. Bullatine A can also inhibit the activation of PERK-elF-2α unfolded protein response (UPR), lysosome production and the increase of NLRP3 inflammasome protein expression in BV2-cells Both intragastric administration and intra-hippocampal microinjection of Bullatine A can significantly improve the despair behavior but not anhedonia of Chronic chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) mice. Bullatine A may have a beneficial therapeutic effect in treating diseases related to stress stimulation, such as depression.

RESUMEN

Recognizing facial expressions is crucial for adaptive social interaction. Prior empirical research on facial expression processing has primarily focused on isolated faces; however, facial expressions appear embedded in surrounding scenes in everyday life. In this study, we attempted to demonstrate how the online car-hailing scene affects the processing of facial expression. This study examined the processing of drivers' facial expressions in scenes by recording event-related potentials, in which neutral or happy faces embedded in online car-hailing orders were constructed (with type of vehicle, driver rating, driver surname, and level of reputation controlled). A total of 35 female volunteers participated in this experiment and were asked to judge which facial expressions that emerged in scenes of online car-hailing were more trustworthy. The results revealed an interaction between facial expression scenes, brain areas, and electrode sites in the late positive potential, which indicated that happy faces elicited larger amplitudes than did neutral ones in the parietal areas and that scenes with happy facial expressions had shorter latencies than did those with neutral ones. As expected, the late positive potential evoked by happy facial expressions in a scene was larger than that evoked by neutral ones, which reflected motivated attention and motivational response processes. This study highlights the importance of scenes as context in the study of facial expression processing.

RESUMEN

The genus Streptomyces comprises the most important chitin decomposers in soil and revealing their chitinolytic machinery is beneficial for the conversion of chitinous wastes. Streptomyces sp. SCUT-3, a chitin-hydrolyzing and a robust feather-degrading bacterium, was isolated previously. The potential chitin-degrading enzymes produced by SCUT-3 were analyzed in the present study. Among these enzymes, three chitinases were successfully expressed in Pichia pastoris at comparatively high yields of 4.8 U/mL (SsExoChi18A), 11.2 U/mL (SsExoChi18B), and 17.8 U/mL (SsEndoChi19). Conserved motifs and constructive 3D structures of these three exo- and endochitinases were also analyzed. These chitinases hydrolyzed colloidal chitin to chitin oligomers. SsExoChi18A showed apparent synergic effects with SsEndoChi19 in colloidal chitin and shrimp shell hydrolysis, with an improvement of 29.3 % and 124.9 %, respectively. Compared with SsExoChi18B and SsEndoChi19, SsExoChi18A exhibited the strongest antifungal effects against four plant pathogens by inhibiting mycelial growth and spore germination. This study provided good candidates for chitinous waste-processing enzymes and antifungal biocontrol agents. These synergic chitin-degrading enzymes of SCUT-3 are good targets for its further genetical modification to construct super chitinous waste-degrading bacteria with strong abilities to hydrolyze both protein and chitin, thereby providing a direction for the future path of the chitinous waste recycling industry.

RESUMEN

Stimuli-responsive actuators (SRAs) that can harvest environmental energies and convert them to mechanical works without additional energy-supplying systems have revealed great potential for robotic applications. However, at present, the practical usage of SRAs is significantly limited due to the problems with respect to solo responsiveness, simple deformation, and the difficulties for large-scale and cost-effective production. In this paper, multi-responsive paper actuators with multicoating nanoarchitectonics that enable complex deformation have been fabricated through a very simple painting process on common papers. The resultant paper actuator permits large-scale and low-cost production (A4 size: ∼0.5 dollar). The paper actuators that consist of a paper/graphite/polydimethylsiloxane sandwich structure can be actuated by multi-form stimuli, including moisture, temperature, light, and volatile organic compounds. More importantly, the bending deformation of the paper actuators can be further programmed by controlling the pencil drawing orientation, providing the feasibility of performing more complex deformations. Several multi-responsive paper actuators, including organic compound-responsive smart devices working in the liquid environment, moisture-enabled terrestrial crawling actuator, and a light-responsive attitude-control actuator integrated with an airplane model, have been demonstrated. The development of multi-responsive yet cost-effective paper actuators may hold great promise for a wide range of practical applications, for instance, soft micro-electromechanical systems, lab-on-a-chip systems, smart homes, and robotics.

RESUMEN

The medium-chain fatty acid ethyl esters (MCFAEEs) are a group of important aroma compounds generated during wine production. Wine alcohol fermentation involves several redox processes, which are affected by the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP). However, the mechanism via which ORP regulates MCFAEE production remains unclear. To investigate the effect of ORP on MCFAEE production, wine alcohol fermentation was performed using Saccharomyces cerevisiae under different ORPs. The results demonstrated that the ORPs studied (except for 90 mV) did not significantly affect cell growth, sugar consumption, and ethanol production, while the MCFAEE concentration in the simulated wines can be manipulated by ORP operation. MCFAEE levels increased till 96 h, and then decreased. The maximum MCFAEE level of 1222.97 µg/L was obtained after 96 h at 0 mV, which was 45.32% higher than that of the control. During the increase, higher relative expression of ACC1, FAS1, FAA2 and EEB1, elevated external citric acid flux, and moderate intracellular NADP+/NADPH ratio were observed at 0 mV compared to that at other ORPs. During the decrease, lowest relative expression of POX1 was detected at 0 mV. We showed for the first time the relationship between ORP operation and MCFAEE production in winemaking, which will improve the aroma quality of wine.

RESUMEN

IgGFc-binding protein (FCGBP) is a mucin first detected in the intestinal epithelium. It plays an important role in innate mucosal epithelial defense, tumor metastasis, and tumor immunity. FCGBP forms disulfide-linked heterodimers with mucin-2 and members of the trefoil factor family. These formed complexes inhibit bacterial attachment to mucosal surfaces, affect the motility of pathogens, and support their clearance. Altered FCGBP expression levels may be important in the pathologic processes of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. FCGBP is also involved in regulating the infiltration of immune cells into tumor microenvironments. Thus, the molecule is a valuable marker of tumor prognosis. This review summarizes the functional relevance and role of FCGBP in immune responses and disease development, and highlights the potential role in diagnosis and predicting tumor prognosis.

RESUMEN

Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) process is susceptible to the changed operation condition, which results in an unstable treatment performance. In this work, long-term effect of coagulants addition, aluminum salt for the reactor R1 and iron salt for the reactor R2, on EBPR systems was comprehensively evaluated. Results showed that during the initial 30 days' coagulant addition, effluent chemical oxygen demand and phosphorus can be reduced below 25 and 0.5 mg·L-1, respectively. Further supply of metal salts would stimulate microbial extracellular polymeric substance excretion and induce reactive oxygen species accumulation, which destroyed the cell membrane integrity and deteriorated the phosphorus removal performance. Moreover, coagulants would decrease the relative abundance of Candidatus Accumulibacter while increase the relative abundance of Candidatus Competibacter, leading phosphors accumulating organisms in a disadvantage position. The results of this work might be valuable for the operation of chemical assisted biological phosphorus removal bioreactor.

RESUMEN

Five new furanobutenolide-derived C19-norcembranoid diterpenes, sinudenoids A-E (1-5, respectively), were isolated from the soft coral Sinularia densa. Sinudenoid A (1) possesses an uncommon 5/5/11-fused tricyclic ring system. Sinudenoids B-D (2-4, respectively) share the same tetracyclic 5/5/6/6 ring system but represent two kinds of new skeletons. Sinudenoid E (5) is the second compound with the rare 8/8 bicyclic carbon core. A plausible biosynthesis pathway for compounds 1-6 is proposed. Compound 5 exhibits strong anti-inflammatory activity in the zebrafish model.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: As antidepressants commonly used in the clinic have proved to be problematic, it is urgent to gain an updated understanding of the pathogenesis of depression and find potential therapeutic targets. Since both functional brain imaging studies and autopsy reports indicated that there is indeed a loss of synapses in depressed patients, it is necessary to explore the mechanism of this process. METHODS: We firstly investigated the effect of chronic social defeat stress (CSDS), a mouse model of depression, on behaviors, synapses, microglia, and microglial phagocytosis of synapses in mice. Then, as it is unclear whether microglial phagocytosis leads to synaptic loss, or synaptic loss induces the microglial clearance in CSDS mice, we used minocycline, a microglial activation inhibitor, to inhibit the microglial phagocytosis of synapses and study its effect on synapses and behaviors in CSDS mice. RESULTS: Our results showed that the expression levels of PSD-95 in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) of CSDS mice were significantly reduced, while the microglia were significantly activated and the Iba1+CD68+ cell (phagocytic microglia) density was increased. We co-labeled the synaptic protein PSD-95 with the microglia marker Iba1 and found that the microglia in the hippocampal DG of CSDS mice contained significantly more PSD-95 engulfed puncta, which revealed that microglia in CSDS mice abnormally phagocytized synapses. Moreover, our results indicated that minocycline treatment dampened microglial activation, decreased the phagocytic microglia density, reduced abnormal microglial phagocytosis of synapses, reversed synaptic loss, and alleviated behavioral impairment in CSDS mice. CONCLUSIONS: Under depressive pathological conditions, the activated microglia may abnormally engulf neuronal synapses causing synaptic loss and behavioral impairments. Thus, microglial phagocytosis may be a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of depression.

RESUMEN

Self-healing materials (SHMs) with unique mechanical and electronic properties are promising for self-reparable electronics and robots. However, the self-healing ability of emerging two-dimensional (2D) materials, for instance, MXenes, has not been systematically investigated, which limits their applications in self-healing electronics. Herein, we report the homogeneous self-healing assembly (homo-SHA) of MXene and the heterogeneous self-healing assembly (hetero-SHA) of MXene and graphene oxide (GO) under moisture treatments. The self-healing mechanism has been attributed to the hydration induced interlayer swelling of MXene and GO and the recombination of hydrogen bond networks after water desorption. The multiform hetero-SHA of MXene and GO not only enables facile fabrication of free-standing soft electronics and robots, but also endows the resultant devices with damage-healing properties. As proof-of-concept demonstrations, free-standing soft electronic devices including a generator, a humidity sensor, a pressure sensor, and several robotic devices have been fabricated. The hetero-SHA of MXene and GO is simple yet effective, and it may pioneer a new avenue to develop miniature soft electronics and robots based on 2D materials.
