RESUMEN

The transition metal ions doping in II-VI semiconductor can produce exciton magnetic polaron (EMP) and localized EMP, in which contain longitudinal optical (LO) phonon coupling will be discussed in this paper. Transition metal ion doping in II-VI semiconductor for dilute magnetic semiconductor (DMS) show emission by magnetic polarons together with hot carrier effect that need to be understand by its optical properties. The high excitation power responsible for hot carrier effect that suppressed the charge trapping effect for low exciton binding energy (8.12 meV) semiconductor even at room temperature. The large polaron radius exhibits strong interaction between carrier and magnetic polaron results anharmonicty effect in which side-band energy overtone to LO phonon. The photon-like polariton show the polarized spin interaction with LO that show strong spin-phonon polariton at room temperature. The temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectra of Ni-doped ZnTe show free exciton (FX), FX interact with 2LO phonon-spin interaction corresponding to 3T1(3F) → 1T1(1G) and EMP peaks with ferromagnetically coupled Ni ions at 3T1(3F) → 1E(1G). In addition, other d-d transition of single Ni ions (600-900 nm) appears at low energy side. Room temperature energy shift of 14-38 meV due to localized states with density of states tails extending far into bandgap related spin induced localization at valance band. These results show spin-spin magnetic coupling and spin-phonon interaction at room temperature that open a new horizon of optically controlled dilute magnetic semiconductor applications more realistic.

RESUMEN

Lattice dynamics plays a significant role in manipulating the unique physical properties of materials. In this work, femtosecond transient optical spectroscopy is used to investigate the generation mechanism and relaxation dynamics of coherent phonons in Fe1.14Te-a parent compound of chalcogenide superconductors. The reflectivity time series consist of the exponential decay component due to hot carriers and damped oscillations caused by the A1g phonon vibration. The vibrational frequency and dephasing time of the A1g phonons are obtained as a function of temperature. With increasing temperature, the phonon frequency decreases and can be well described with the anharmonicity model. Dephasing time is independent of temperature, indicating that the phonon dephasing is dominated by phonon-defect scattering. The impulsive stimulated Raman scattering mechanism is responsible for the coherent phonon generation. Owing to the resonance Raman effect, the maximum photosusceptibility of the A1g phonons occurs at 1.590 eV, corresponding to an electronic transition in Fe1.14Te.

RESUMEN

Spin-phonon coupling is a fundamental interaction in ferromagnets/antiferromagnets and plays a key role in hot carrier decay. Normally, spin transfers its excess energy to a lattice via spin-phonon coupling in hot carrier decay in ferromagnets/antiferromagnets. However, the reverse energy transfer process (i.e., from lattice to spin) is feasible in principle but rarely reported. Here, we observe an abnormal hot carrier decay with a slow fall (80 ps) in ΔR(t)/R0 time series in ferromagnet Fe1/3TaS2, which is a result of the lattice of TaS2 vdW layer transfering its energy to spin via spin-phonon coupling. The Fe ions inserted between TaS2 vdW layers with very weak bonding with TaS2 vdW layer, are the origin of the ferromagnetism and give rise to its weak electron-spin and spin-phonon couplings which in turn lead to the observed abnormal hot carrier decay in the ferromagnetic phase Fe1/3TaS2.

RESUMEN

Sample multiplexing facilitates single-cell sequencing by reducing costs, revealing subtle difference between similar samples, and identifying artifacts such as cell doublets. However, universal and cost-effective strategies are rather limited. Here, we reported a concanavalin A-based sample barcoding strategy (CASB), which could be followed by both single-cell mRNA and ATAC (assay for transposase-accessible chromatin) sequencing techniques. The method involves minimal sample processing, thereby preserving intact transcriptomic or epigenomic patterns. We demonstrated its high labeling efficiency, high accuracy in assigning cells/nuclei to samples regardless of cell type and genetic background, and high sensitivity in detecting doublets by three applications: 1) CASB followed by scRNA-seq to track the transcriptomic dynamics of a cancer cell line perturbed by multiple drugs, which revealed compound-specific heterogeneous response; 2) CASB together with both snATAC-seq and scRNA-seq to illustrate the IFN-γ-mediated dynamic changes on epigenome and transcriptome profile, which identified the transcription factor underlying heterogeneous IFN-γ response; and 3) combinatorial indexing by CASB, which demonstrated its high scalability.

RESUMEN

Mammalian chromosomes undergo varying degrees of compression to form three-dimensional genome structures. These three-dimensional structures undergo dynamic and precise chromatin interactions to achieve precise spatial and temporal regulation of gene expression. Most eukaryotic DNA viruses can invade their genomes into the nucleus. However, it is still poorly understood how the viral genome is precisely positioned after entering the host cell nucleus to find the most suitable location and whether it can specifically interact with the host genome to hijack the host transcriptional factories or even integrate into the host genome to complete its transcription and replication rapidly. Chromosome conformation capture technology can reveal long-range chromatin interactions between different chromosomal sites in the nucleus, potentially providing a reference for viral DNA-host chromatin interactions. This review summarized the research progress on the three-dimensional interaction between virus and host genome and the impact of virus integration into the host genome on gene transcription regulation, aiming to provide new insights into chromatin interaction and viral gene transcription regulation, laying the foundation for the treatment of infectious diseases.

RESUMEN

The quasiparticle and longitudinal acoustic (LA) coherent phonon dynamics of the FeSe0.9S0.1 single crystal were investigated by femtosecond transient optical spectroscopy. The FeSe0.9S0.1 single crystal undergoes metal-superconductor transition at Tc = 9.5 K and structural phase transition at Ts = 72 K. To investigate the correlation between the quasiparticle/LA coherent phonon dynamics and the antiferromagnetic spin/nematic fluctuation, we measured the transient differential reflectivity ΔR(t)/R0 in time series (R is the reflectivity) between 4-130 K. The ΔR(t)/R0 time series showed a negative sign below Ts = 72 K, while its sign reversed from negative to positive above Ts. The ΔR(t)/R0 time series was contributed by a combination of two exponential decays and an oscillation term. The slow decay attributed to electron-phonon and phonon-phonon coupling showed a negative amplitude below Ts and a positive amplitude above Ts. A fast decay with positive amplitude appeared at T ≥ 55 K was induced by the electron-phonon coupling of the high-temperature orthorhombic phase FeSe0.9S0.1. The oscillation contributed by the LA coherent phonon emerged below Ts but was not observed above Ts, indicating that it was impacted by the nematic fluctuation of FeSe0.9S0.1.

RESUMEN

Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is a major layer of gene regulation. However, it has recently been argued that most APA represents molecular noise. To clarify their functional relevance and evolution, we quantified allele-specific APA patterns in multiple tissues from an F1 hybrid mouse. We found a clearly negative correlation between gene expression and APA diversity for the 2,866 genes (24.9%) with a dominant polyadenylation site (PAS) usage above or equal to 90%, suggesting that their other PASs represent molecular errors. Among the remaining genes with multiple PASs, 3,971 genes (34.5%) express two or more isoforms with potentially functional importance. Interestingly, the genes with potentially functional minor PASs specific to neuronal tissues often express two APA isoforms with distinct subcellular localizations. Furthermore, our analysis of cis-APA divergence shows its pattern across tissues is distinct from that of gene expression. Finally, we demonstrate that the relative usage of alternative PASs is not only affected by their cis-regulatory elements, but also by potential coupling between transcriptional and APA regulation as well as competition kinetics between alternative sites.

RESUMEN

Microstructure evolution and nucleation dynamics of TiO2 nanostructural thin films on (001) LaAlO3 substrates grown by the polymer-assisted deposition technique have been systematically studied with the increase of annealing temperature. Epitaxial anatase TiO2 phase with nanometer-scaled periodic surface strip patterns can be achieved when the sample is annealed at 900 ° C. It is also found that the morphology of the surface pattern is related to the ramping rate of the temperature during annealing. The formation of the surface strip pattern can be considered to be associated with the diffusion limit growth dynamics. The surface pattern structure was found to strongly affect the hydrophilic properties of the thin films.

RESUMEN

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent liver malignancy with complex etiology and generally poor prognosis. Recently, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), non-protein-coding RNA molecules exceeding 200 nucleotides, have emerged as pivotal players in HCC, influencing its initiation, progression, invasion, and metastasis. These lncRNAs modulate gene expression at epigenetic, transcriptional, and post-transcriptional levels, actively participating in the pathological and physiological processes of HCC. Understanding the intricate relationship between lncRNAs and HCC is important for improving prognosis and reducing mortality. This review summarizes advancements in elucidating the role of lncRNAs in HCC pathogenesis.

RESUMEN

Metal halide-based broadband near-infrared (NIR) luminescent materials face problems such as complicated preparation, high cost, low photoluminescence quantum yield, and high excitation energy. Here, incorporating Sb3+ and Br- into (C20H20P)2ZnCl4 crystals allowed for the achievement of efficient broadband near-infrared emission under 400 nm excitation while maintaining satisfactory environmental and thermal stability. The compounds exhibit a broad range of emission bands from 550 to 1050 nm, with a photoluminescence quantum yield of 93.57%. This is a groundbreaking achievement for organic-inorganic hybrid metal halide NIR luminescent materials. The near-infrared emission is suggested to originate from [SbX5]2-, as supported by the femtosecond transient absorption spectra and density-functional theory calculations. This phosphor-based NIR LEDs successfully demonstrate potential applications in night vision, medical imaging, information encryption, and anticounterfeiting.

RESUMEN

Colorectal cancer exhibits a notable prevalence and propensity for metastasis, but the current therapeutic interventions for metastatic colorectal cancer have yielded suboptimal results. ICIs can decrease tumor development by preventing the tumor's immune evasion, presenting cancer patients with a new treatment alternative. The increased use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in CRC has brought several issues. In particular, ICIs have demonstrated significant clinical effectiveness in patients with MSI-H CRC, whereas their efficacy is limited in MSS. Acquired resistance can still occur in patients with a positive response to ICIs. This paper describes the efficacy of ICIs currently in the clinical treatment of CRC, discusses the mechanisms by which acquired resistance occurs, primarily related to loss and impaired presentation of tumor antigens, reduced response of IFN-λ and cytokine or metabolic dysregulation, and summarizes the incidence of adverse effects. We posit that the future of ICIs hinges upon the advancement of precise prediction biomarkers and the implementation of combination therapies. This study aims to elucidate the constraints associated with ICIs in CRC and foster targeted problem-solving approaches, thereby enhancing the potential benefits for more patients.

RESUMEN

In recent years, low-dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides (OIHMHs) have shown excellent photophysical properties due to their quantum structure, adjustable energy levels, and energy transfer between inorganic and organic components, which have attracted extensive attention from researchers. Herein, we synthesize a zero-dimensional (0D) OIHMH, Sb3+:(Gua)3InCl6, by introducing Sb3+ into (Gua)3InCl6, which undergoes a significant enhancement of the emission peak at 580 nm with the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) boosted from 17.86 to 95.72% when excited at 340 nm. This boost in photoluminescence of the doped sample was studied by combining ultrafast femtosecond transient absorption, temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) spectra, and density functional theory (DFT) calculation, revealing the process of self-trapped exciton (STE) recombination to emit light at both Sb and In sites in this 0D structure simultaneously. This material with the lowest dark STE level at the In site for emission in the undoped sample can amazingly yield very strong emission in the doped sample, which has never been observed before. Finally, we tested its application in a photoelectric device. This work not only helps to gain a deeper understanding of the formation of STEs in In-based halides but also plays a certain guiding role in the design of new luminescent materials.

RESUMEN

Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), a frequently encountered and highly lethal malignancy of the digestive system, has been the focus of intensive research regarding its prognosis. The intricate immune microenvironment plays a pivotal role in the pathological progression of COAD; nevertheless, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This study aims to explore the immune gene expression patterns in COAD, construct a robust prognostic model, and delve into the molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets for COAD liver metastasis, thereby providing critical support for individualized treatment strategies and prognostic evaluation. Initially, we curated a comprehensive dataset by screening 2600 immune-related genes (IRGs) from the ImmPort and InnateDB databases, successfully obtaining a rich data resource. Subsequently, the COAD patient cohort was classified using the non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) algorithm, enabling accurate categorization. Continuing on, utilizing the weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) method, we analyzed the top 5000 genes with the smallest p-values among the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between immune subtypes. Through this rigorous screening process, we identified the gene modules with the strongest correlation to the COAD subpopulation, and the intersection of genes in these modules with DEGs (COAD vs COAD vs Normal colon tissue) is referred to as Differentially Expressed Immune Genes Associated with COAD (DEIGRC). Employing diverse bioinformatics methodologies, we successfully developed a prognostic model (DPM) consisting of six genes derived from the DEIGRC, which was further validated across multiple independent datasets. Not only does this predictive model accurately forecast the prognosis of COAD patients, but it also provides valuable insights for formulating personalized treatment regimens. Within the constructed DPM, we observed a downregulation of CALB2 expression levels in COAD tissues, whereas NOXA1, KDF1, LARS2, GSR, and TIMP1 exhibited upregulated expression levels. These genes likely play indispensable roles in the initiation and progression of COAD and thus represent potential therapeutic targets for patient management. Furthermore, our investigation into the molecular mechanisms and therapeutic targets for COAD liver metastasis revealed associations with relevant processes such as fat digestion and absorption, cancer gene protein polysaccharides, and nitrogen metabolism. Consequently, genes including CAV1, ANXA1, CPS1, EDNRA, and GC emerge as promising candidates as therapeutic targets for COAD liver metastasis, thereby providing crucial insights for future clinical practices and drug development. In summary, this study uncovers the immune gene expression patterns in COAD, establishes a robust prognostic model, and elucidates the molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets for COAD liver metastasis, thereby possessing significant theoretical and clinical implications. These findings are anticipated to offer substantial support for both the treatment and prognosis management of COAD patients.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Oxaliplatin is the most common chemotherapeutic agent for patients with colorectal cancer. However, its anti-cancer efficacy is restricted by drug resistance occurring through several mechanisms, including autophagy. Liensinine exerts a considerable anti-tumor effect and can regulate autophagy. Inhibition of autophagy is a strategy to reverse resistance to oxaliplatin. The aim of this study was to check if liensinine can enhance the therapeutic efficacy of oxaliplatin in colorectal cancer and if so, elucidate its mechanism. METHODS: Two colorectal cancer cell lines, HCT116 and LoVo, and one normal intestinal epithelial cell, NCM-460 were used for in vitro experiments. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation, and flow cytometry assays were used to evaluate the cytotoxicity of liensinine and oxaliplatin. Network pharmacology analysis and Human XL Oncology Array were used to screen targets of liensinine. Transfections and autophagy regulators were used to confirm these targets. The relationship between the target and clinical effect of oxaliplatin was analyzed. Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models were used to validate the effects of liensinine and oxaliplatin. RESULTS: CCK-8 and colony formation assays both showed that the combination treatment of liensinine and oxaliplatin exerted synergistic effects. Results of the network pharmacology analysis and Human XL Oncology Array suggested that liensinine can inhibit autophagy by targeting HIF-1α/eNOS. HIF-1α was identified as the key factor modulated by liensinine in autophagy and induces resistance to oxaliplatin. HIF-1α levels in tumor cells and prognosis for FOLFOX were negatively correlated in clinical data. The results from three PDX models with different HIF-1α levels showed their association with intrinsic and acquired resistance to oxaliplatin in these models, which could be reversed by liensinine. CONCLUSIONS: Research on the relationship between HIF-1α levels and the clinical effect of oxaliplatin is lacking, and whether liensinine regulates HIF-1α is unknown. Our findings suggest that liensinine overcomes the resistance of colorectal cancer cells to oxaliplatin by suppressing HIF-1α levels to inhibit autophagy. Our findings can contribute to improving prognosis following colorectal cancer therapy.

RESUMEN

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a fundamental cellular process frequently hijacked by cancer cells to promote tumor progression, especially metastasis. EMT is orchestrated by a complex molecular network acting at different layers of gene regulation. In addition to transcriptional regulation, posttranscriptional mechanisms may also play a role in EMT. Here, we performed a pooled CRISPR screen analyzing the influence of 1,547 RNA-binding proteins on cell motility in colon cancer cells and identified multiple core components of P-bodies (PB) as negative modulators of cancer cell migration. Further experiments demonstrated that PB depletion by silencing DDX6 or EDC4 could activate hallmarks of EMT thereby enhancing cell migration in vitro as well as metastasis formation in vivo. Integrative multiomics analysis revealed that PBs could repress the translation of the EMT driver gene HMGA2, which contributed to PB-meditated regulation of EMT. This mechanism is conserved in other cancer types. Furthermore, endoplasmic reticulum stress was an intrinsic signal that induced PB disassembly and translational derepression of HMGA2. Taken together, this study has identified a function of PBs in the regulation of EMT in cancer. SIGNIFICANCE: Systematic investigation of the influence of posttranscriptional regulation on cancer cell motility established a connection between P-body-mediated translational control and EMT, which could be therapeutically exploited to attenuate metastasis formation.

RESUMEN

Autophagy is a biological phenomenon whereby components of cells can self-degrade using autophagosomes. During this process, cells can clear dysfunctional organelles or unwanted elements. Autophagy can recycle unnecessary biomolecules into new components or sometimes, even destroy the cells themselves. This cellular process was first observed in 1962 by Keith R. Porter et al. Since then, autophagy has been studied for over 60 years, and much has been learned on the topic. Nevertheless, the process is still not fully understood. It has been proven, for example, that autophagy can be a positive force for maintaining good health by removing older or damaged cells. By contrast, autophagy is also involved in the onset and progression of various conditions caused by pathogenic infections. These diseases generally involve several important organs in the human body, including the liver, kidney, heart, and central nervous system. The regulation of the defects of autophagy defects may potentially be used to treat some diseases. This review comprehensively discusses recent research frontiers and topics of interest regarding autophagy-related diseases.

RESUMEN

Accumulating evidence indicates that RNA methylation, as the most common modification of mRNA, is of great significance in tumor progression and metastasis. Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive system that seriously affects the health of middle-aged and elderly people. Although there have been many studies on the biological mechanism of the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer, there are still major deficiencies in the diagnosis and prognosis of colorectal cancer. With the deep study of RNA methylation, it was found that RNA modification is highly related to colorectal cancer tumorigenesis, development and prognosis. Here, we will highlight various RNA chemical modifications including N6-methyladenosine, 5-methylcytosine, N1-methyladenosine, 7-methylguanine, pseudouridine and their modification enzymes followed by summarizing their functions in colorectal cancer.

RESUMEN

Patients with colonic adenocarcinoma (COAD) are at relatively high risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, there is a lack of medical strategies to treat COVID-19/COAD comorbidity. Puerarin, a natural product, is a known antiviral, antitumor, and immunomodulatory effect. Therefore, we hypothesised that puerarin could be used to treat COVID-19/COAD patients. Based on network pharmacology and bioinformatics analysis, the potential targets and pharmacological mechanisms of puerarin in COVID-19/COAD were identified. By intersecting therapeutic target genes for puerarin, COVID-19-related genes and COAD-related genes, 42 target genes of puerarin that could potentially treat COVID-19/COAD comorbidity were obtained. By using the 42 potential target genes to construct the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, we obtained five core target genes, namely RELA, BCL2, JUN, FOS, and MAPK1. The results of bioinformatics analysis revealed that puerarin could be able to treat COVID-19/COAD comorbidity through apoptosis, antiviral, antioxidant, NF-κB signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, IL-17 signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway, and HIF-1 signaling pathway etc. This study found that puerarin has the potential to treat COVID-19/COAD patients and that the therapeutic target genes obtained in the study may provide clues for the treatment of COVID19/COAD comorbidity.

RESUMEN

Patients with Hantavirus-caused epidemic hemorrhagic fever (EHF) are at risk of contracting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, there is currently no validated EHF/SARS-CoV-2 strategy. Several studies have recently shown Puerarin, a natural product, has potent antiviral properties. The goal of present study was to determine the mechanism of puerarin in patients with EHF/COVID-19. We use network pharmacology and bioinformatics to investigate the possible pharmacological targets, bioactivities, and molecular mechanisms of puerarin in the treatment of patients with EHF/SARS-CoV-2. The study investigated the pathogenesis of COVID-19 and EHF and the signaling pathway impacted by puerarin. 68 common genes linked to puerarin and EHF/SARS-CoV-2 were discovered during the investigation. By using protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, we identified RELA, JUN, NF-B1, NF-B2, and FOS as potential therapeutic targets. The bioactivity and signaling pathways of puerarin have also been demonstrated in the treatment of EHF and COVID-19. According to present study, puerarin could reduce excessive immune responses and inflammation through the NF-B, TNF, and HIF-1 signaling pathways. This study explored the potential therapeutic targets and mechanisms of Puerarin in the treatment of EHF/COVID-19.

RESUMEN

Objectives: In this research, we aim to explore the bioinformatic mechanism of infertile endometriosis in order to identify new treatment targets and molecular mechanism. Methods: The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was used to download MRNA sequencing data from infertile endometriosis patients. The "limma" package in R software was used to find differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to classify genes into modules, further obtained the correlation coefficient between the modules and infertility endometriosis. The intersection genes of the most disease-related modular genes and DEGs are called gene set 1. To clarify the molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets for infertile endometriosis, we used Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Gene and Genome Encyclopedia (KEGG) enrichment, Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) networks, and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) on these intersecting genes. We identified lncRNAs and miRNAs linked with infertility and created competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNA) regulation networks using the Human MicroRNA Disease Database (HMDD), mirTarBase database, and LncRNA Disease database. Results: Firstly, WGCNA enrichment analysis was used to examine the infertile endometriosis dataset GSE120103, and we discovered that the Meorangered1 module was the most significantly related with infertile endometriosis. The intersection genes were mostly enriched in the metabolism of different amino acids, the cGMP-PKG signaling pathway, and the cAMP signaling pathway according to KEGG enrichment analysis. The Meorangered1 module genes and DEGs were then subjected to bioinformatic analysis. The hub genes in the PPI network were performed KEGG enrichment analysis, and the results were consistent with the intersection gene analysis. Finally, we used the database to identify 13 miRNAs and two lncRNAs linked to infertility in order to create the ceRNA regulatory network linked to infertile endometriosis. Conclusion: In this study, we used a bioinformatics approach for the first time to identify amino acid metabolism as a possible major cause of infertility in patients with endometriosis and to provide potential targets for the diagnosis and treatment of these patients.
