OBJECTIVE: Lipid metabolism plays an important role in early pregnancy, but its effects on decidualization are poorly understood. Fatty acids (FAs) must be esterified by fatty acyl-CoA synthetases to form biologically active acyl-CoA in order to enter the anabolic and/or catabolic pathway. Long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 4 (ACSL4) is associated with female reproduction. However, whether it is involved in decidualization is unknown. METHODS: The expression of ACSL4 in human and mouse endometrium was detected by immunohistochemistry. ACSL4 levels were regulated by the overexpression of ACSL4 plasmid or ACSL4 siRNA, and the effects of ACSL4 on decidualization markers and morphology of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) were clarified. A pregnant mouse model was established to determine the effect of ACSL4 on the implantation efficiency of mouse embryos. Modulation of ACSL4 detects lipid anabolism and catabolism. RESULTS: Through examining the expression level of ACSL4 in human endometrial tissues during proliferative and secretory phases, we found that ACSL4 was highly expressed during the secretory phase. Knockdown of ACSL4 suppressed decidualization and inhibited the mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition induced by MPA and db-cAMP in ESCs. Further, the knockdown of ACSL4 reduced the efficiency of embryo implantation in pregnant mice. Downregulation of ACSL4 inhibited FA ß-oxidation and lipid droplet accumulation during decidualization. Interestingly, pharmacological and genetic inhibition of lipid droplet synthesis did not affect FA ß-oxidation and decidualization, while the pharmacological and genetic inhibition of FA ß-oxidation increased lipid droplet accumulation and inhibited decidualization. In addition, inhibition of ß-oxidation was found to attenuate the promotion of decidualization by the upregulation of ACSL4. The decidualization damage caused by ACSL4 knockdown could be reversed by activating ß-oxidation. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that ACSL4 promotes endometrial decidualization by activating the ß-oxidation pathway. This study provides interesting insights into our understanding of the mechanisms regulating lipid metabolism during decidualization.

In spite of the competitive performance at room temperature, the development of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) is still hindered by sluggish electrochemical reaction kinetics and unstable electrode/electrolyte interphase under subzero environments. Herein, a low-concentration electrolyte, consisting of 0.5M NaPF6 dissolving in diethylene glycol dimethyl ether solvent, is proposed for SIBs working at low temperature. Such an electrolyte generates a thin, amorphous, and homogeneous cathode/electrolyte interphase at low temperature. The interphase is monolithic and rich in organic components, reducing the limitation of Na+ migration through inorganic crystals, thereby facilitating the interfacial Na+ dynamics at low temperature. Furthermore, it effectively blocks the unfavorable side reactions between active materials and electrolytes, improving the structural stability. Consequently, Na0.7Li0.03Mg0.03Ni0.27Mn0.6Ti0.07O2//Na and hard carbon//Na cells deliver a high capacity retention of 90.8 % after 900 cycles at 1C, a capacity over 310 mAh g-1 under -30 °C, respectively, showing long-term cycling stability and great rate capability at low temperature.

High Cl- concentration in saline wastewater (e.g., landfill leachate) limits wastewater purification. Catalytic Cl- conversion into reactive chlorine species (RCS) arises as a sustainable strategy, making the salinity profitable for efficient wastewater treatment. Herein, aiming to reveal the structure-property relationship in Cl- utilization, bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) photocatalysts with coexposed {001} and {110} facets are synthesized. With an increasing {001} ratio, the RCS production efficiency increases from 75.64 to 96.89 µg L-1 min-1. Mechanism investigation demonstrates the fast release of lattice Cl- as an RCS and the compensation of ambient Cl-. Correlation analysis between the internal electric field (IEF, parallel to [001]) and normalized efficiency on {110} (kRCS/S{110}, perpendicular to [001]) displays a coefficient of 0.86, validating that the promoted carrier dynamics eventually affects Cl- conversion on the open layered structure. The BiOCl photocatalyst is well behaved in ammonium (NH4+-N) degradation ranging from 20 to 800 mg N L-1 with different chlorinity (3-12 g L-1 NaCl). The sustainable Cl- conversion into RCS also realizes 85.4% of NH4+-N removal in the treatment of realistic landfill leachate (662 mg of N L-1 NH4+-N). The structure-property relationship provides insights into the design of efficient catalysts for environment remediation using ambient Cl-.

Current anticancer therapies cannot eliminate all cancer cells, which hijack normal arginine methylation as a means to promote their maintenance via unknown mechanisms. Here we show that targeting protein arginine N-methyltransferase 9 (PRMT9), whose activities are elevated in blasts and leukemia stem cells (LSCs) from patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), eliminates disease via cancer-intrinsic mechanisms and cancer-extrinsic type I interferon (IFN)-associated immunity. PRMT9 ablation in AML cells decreased the arginine methylation of regulators of RNA translation and the DNA damage response, suppressing cell survival. Notably, PRMT9 inhibition promoted DNA damage and activated cyclic GMP-AMP synthase, which underlies the type I IFN response. Genetically activating cyclic GMP-AMP synthase in AML cells blocked leukemogenesis. We also report synergy of a PRMT9 inhibitor with anti-programmed cell death protein 1 in eradicating AML. Overall, we conclude that PRMT9 functions in survival and immune evasion of both LSCs and non-LSCs; targeting PRMT9 may represent a potential anticancer strategy.

Endometrial cancer (EC) is a reproductive system disease that occurs in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. However, its etiology is unclear. Melatonin (MT) has been identified as a therapeutic agent for EC; however, its exact mechanism remains unclear. In the present study, we determined that GATA-binding protein 2 (GATA2) is expressed at low levels in EC and regulated by MT. MT upregulates the expression of GATA2 through MT receptor 1A (MTNR1A), whereas GATA2 can promote the expression of MTNR1A by binding to its promoter region. In addition, in vivo and in vitro experiments showed that MT inhibited the proliferation and metastasis of EC cells by upregulating GATA2 expression. The protein kinase B (AKT) pathway was also affected. In conclusion, these findings suggest that MT and GATA2 play significant roles in EC development.

Fierce phase transformation and limited sodium ion diffusion dynamics are critical obstacles that hinder the practical energy storage applications of P2-type layered sodium transition metal oxides (NaxTMO2). Herein, a synergistic strategy of electronic state tailoring and pillar effect was carefully implemented by substituting divalent Mg2+ into Na0.67Ni0.33Mn0.67O2 material with unique oriented hollow rodlike structures. Mg2+substitution can not only facilitate the anionic oxygen redox reactions and electronic conductivity through increasing the electronic states at Femi energy but also act as pillars within TMO2 layers to alleviate the severe phase transformation to improve structure stability. Moreover, the oriented hollow structure incorporating sufficient buffer spaces and rationally exposed electrochemically active facets effectively alleviates the stresses induced by low volume changes of 8% and provides more open channels for Na+ ion diffusion without crossing multiple grain boundaries. Hence, the Na0.67Mg0.08Ni0.25Mn0.67O2 cathode showed a superior rate capability with high energy density and cycling stability for sodium-ion storage. The underlying mechanisms of these achievements were deciphered through diversified dynamic analysis and the first principle calculations, providing new insights into P2-type NaxTMO2 cathodes for the infinite prospect as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-activating mutation is an important oncogenic driver of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Osimertinib has been the first-line treatment for EGFR-mutated NSCLC. However, the tertiary C797S mutation leads to Osimertinib resistance by blocking the covalent binding of Cys797 to Osimertinib. To date, there are no approved inhibitors for the treatment of Osimertinib resistance. Herein, we identified a novel lead compound S8 targeting EGFRL858R/T790M/C797S by structure-based virtual screening and synthesized a series of novel compounds. Representative compound C34 showed potent inhibitory activity against EGFRL858R/T790M/C797S with an IC50 of 5.1 nM and significantly inhibited the proliferation of the H1975-TM cell line harboring EGFRL858R/T790M/C797S with an IC50 of 0.05 µM. Additionally, compound C34 demonstrated good pharmacokinetic properties with an oral bioavailability of 30.72% and significantly inhibited tumor growth in the H1975-TM xenograft tumor model. This study provides a novel thiazole derivative as an EGFR inhibitor to overcome C797S-mediated resistance.

Osimertinib resistance is an unmet clinical need for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and the main mechanism is tertiary C797S mutation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). To date, there is no inhibitor approved for the treatment of Osimertinib-resistant NSCLC. Herein, we reported a series of Osimertinib derivatives as fourth-generation inhibitors which were rationally designed. Top candidate D51 potently inhibited the EGFRL858R/T790M/C797S mutant with an IC50 value of 14 nM and suppressed the proliferation of H1975-TM cells with an IC50 value of 14 nM, which show over 500-fold selectivity against wild-type forms. Moreover, D51 inhibited the EGFRdel19/T790M/C797S mutant and the proliferation of the PC9-TM cell line with IC50 values of 62 and 82 nM. D51 also exhibited favorable in vivo druggability, including PK parameters, safety properties, in vivo stability, and antitumor activity.

In 2012, researchers proposed a non-apoptotic, iron-dependent form of cell death caused by lipid peroxidation called ferroptosis. During the past decade, a comprehensive understanding of ferroptosis has emerged. Ferroptosis is closely associated with the tumor microenvironment, cancer, immunity, aging, and tissue damage. Its mechanism is precisely regulated at the epigenetic, transcriptional, and post-translational levels. O-GlcNAc modification (O-GlcNAcylation) is one of the post-translational modifications of proteins. Cells can modulate cell survival in response to stress stimuli, including apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy, through adaptive regulation by O-GlcNAcylation. However, the function and mechanism of these modifications in regulating ferroptosis are only beginning to be understood. Here, we review the relevant literature within the last 5 years and present the current understanding of the regulatory function of O-GlcNAcylation in ferroptosis and the potential mechanisms that may be involved, including antioxidant defense system-controlled reactive oxygen species biology, iron metabolism, and membrane lipid peroxidation metabolism. In addition to these three areas of ferroptosis research, we examine how changes in the morphology and function of subcellular organelles (e.g., mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum) involved in O-GlcNAcylation may trigger and amplify ferroptosis. We have dissected the role of O-GlcNAcylation in regulating ferroptosis and hope that our introduction will provide a general framework for those interested in this field.

Programmed cell death 1(PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand 1(PD-L1) have emerged as one of the most promising immune checkpoint targets for cancer immunotherapy. Despite the inherent advantages of small-molecule inhibitors over antibodies, the discovery of small-molecule inhibitors has fallen behind that of antibody drugs. Based on docking studies between small molecule inhibitor and PD-L1 protein, changing the chemical linker of inhibitor from a flexible chain to an aromatic ring may improve its binding capacity to PD-L1 protein, which was not reported before. A series of novel phthalimide derivatives from structure-based rational design was synthesized. P39 was identified as the best inhibitor with promising activity, which not only inhibited PD-1/PD-L1 interaction (IC50 = 8.9 nmol/L), but also enhanced killing efficacy of immune cells on cancer cells. Co-crystal data demonstrated that P39 induced the dimerization of PD-L1 proteins, thereby blocking the binding of PD-1/PD-L1. Moreover, P39 exhibited a favorable safety profile with a LD50 > 5000 mg/kg and showed significant in vivo antitumor activity through promoting CD8+ T cell activation. All these data suggest that P39 acts as a promising small chemical inhibitor against the PD-1/PD-L1 axis and has the potential to improve the immunotherapy efficacy of T-cells.

Ferrous phosphide (Fe2P) possesses both functions of near-infrared light (NIR) responsive and metal-support interactional behaviors, which will show great significance in photo-assisted electrocatalytic methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) areas. Hereby, we use Fe2P as the support to load Pt nanoparticles and investigate the performance of the as-obtained Pt-Fe2P for MOR. The results show that the synergistic effect of photocatalysis and electrocatalysis contributes to the high-performance MOR, especially under NIR irradiation. The as-obtained Pt-Fe2P also shows excellent photoelectric response performance and long-time stability of photo-electrocatalytic activity with the assistance of NIR illumination. The mass activities of the Pt-Fe2P catalysts with the assistance of NIR towards MOR is 2430.0 mA mg-1Pt, 4.7 times superior to the dark condition (521.1 mA mg-1Pt), which is obviously better than that of traditional electrocatalysts and some reported photo-electrocatalysts. The strong metal-support interaction between Pt and Fe2P together with NIR excited hot electrons from Fe2P result in the above superior photo-electrocatalytic methanol oxidation abilities. The present investigation offers a NIR-assisted electrocatalytic MOR strategy, which may be a feasible approach to further elevate the catalytic performance for MOR in photo-assisted direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs).

Angiogenin (ANG) is the first human tumor-derived angiogenic protein, which can promote angiogenesis and tumor growth. In a previous study, we identified alpha-actinin 2 (ACTN2), a cytoskeletal protein, as a direct interacting protein with angiogenin. However, the interaction between ANG and ACTN2 was not characterized in detail, which may provide information on the molecular mechanisms of ANG functions. In this study, we mapped the accurate binding domain and sites in ANG and ACTN2, respectively. In ANG, the residues from 83 to 105 are the smallest motif that can bind to ACTN2. We then use site mutation analysis to identify the precise binding sites of ANG in the interaction and found that the 101st residue arginine (R101) represents the critical residue involved in the ANG-ACTN2 interaction. In ACTN2, the residues from 383 to 632, containing two spectrin domains in the middle of the rod structure of ACTN2, play an important role in the interaction. Furthermore, we validated the interaction of ACTN2-383-632 to ANG by glutathione-S-transferase (GST) pull-down assay. In functional analysis, overexpressed ACTN2-383-632 could impair tumor cell motility observably, including cell migration and invasion. Meanwhile, ACTN2-383-632 overexpression inhibited tumor cell proliferation and survival as well. These data suggest that an excess expression of ACTN2 segment ACTN2-383-632 can inhibit tumor cell motility and proliferation by interfering with the interaction between ANG and ACTN2, which provides a potential mechanism of ANG action in tumor growth and metastasis.

Differentiation blockade is a hallmark of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). A strategy to overcome such a blockade is a promising approach against the disease. The lack of understanding of the underlying mechanisms hampers development of such strategies. Dysregulated ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) is considered a druggable target in proliferative cancers susceptible to deoxynucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) depletion. Herein, we report an unanticipated discovery that hyperactivating RNR enables differentiation and decreases leukemia cell growth. We integrate pharmacogenomics and metabolomics analyses to identify that pharmacologically (eg, nelarabine) or genetically upregulating RNR subunit M2 (RRM2) creates a dNTP pool imbalance and overcomes differentiation arrest. Moreover, R-loop-mediated DNA replication stress signaling is responsible for RRM2 activation by nelarabine treatment. Further aggravating dNTP imbalance by depleting the dNTP hydrolase SAM domain and HD domain-containing protein 1 (SAMHD1) enhances ablation of leukemia stem cells by RRM2 hyperactivation. Mechanistically, excessive activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling downstream of the imbalance contributes to cellular outcomes of RNR hyperactivation. A CRISPR screen identifies a synthetic lethal interaction between loss of DUSP6, an ERK-negative regulator, and nelarabine treatment. These data demonstrate that dNTP homeostasis governs leukemia maintenance, and a combination of DUSP inhibition and nelarabine represents a therapeutic strategy.

Mature microRNA (miRNA) decay is a key step in miRNA turnover and gene expression regulation. Angiogenin (ANG), the first human tumor-derived angiogenic protein and also a member of the RNase A superfamily, can promote tumor growth and metastasis by regulating rRNA biogenesis and tiRNA production. However, its effect on miRNA has not been explored. In this study, we find that ANG exclusively downregulates mature miR-141 in human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVECs) via its ribonuclease activity and preferably cleaves single-stranded miR-141 at the A5/C6, U7/G8, and U14/A15 sites via endonucleolytic digestion. By downregulating miR-141, ANG promotes HUVECs proliferation, migration, tube formation, and angiogenesis both in vitro and in vivo. Conversely, downregulated ANG inhibits ANG-mediated miR-141 decay, thus decreasing the angiogenesis process of HUVECs. We also find an inverse correlation between ANG and miR-141 expression in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues. Our study indicates that ANG regulates CRC progression by disrupting miR-141 and its regulation on angiogenesis-related target genes, not only revealing a new mechanism of ANG action but also newly identifying miR-141 as a substrate of ANG. This study suggests that targeting ANG nuclease activity might be valuable in treating angiogenesis-related diseases through coordinately regulating the metabolism of rRNA, tiRNA, and miRNA.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) harboring inv(16)(p13q22) expresses high levels of miR-126. Here we show that the CBFB-MYH11 (CM) fusion gene upregulates miR-126 expression through aberrant miR-126 transcription and perturbed miR-126 biogenesis via the HDAC8/RAN-XPO5-RCC1 axis. Aberrant miR-126 upregulation promotes survival of leukemia-initiating progenitors and is critical for initiating and maintaining CM-driven AML. We show that miR-126 enhances MYC activity through the SPRED1/PLK2-ERK-MYC axis. Notably, genetic deletion of miR-126 significantly reduces AML rate and extends survival in CM knock-in mice. Therapeutic depletion of miR-126 with an anti-miR-126 (miRisten) inhibits AML cell survival, reduces leukemia burden and leukemia stem cell (LSC) activity in inv(16) AML murine and xenograft models. The combination of miRisten with chemotherapy further enhances the anti-leukemia and anti-LSC activity. Overall, this study provides molecular insights for the mechanism and impact of miR-126 dysregulation in leukemogenesis and highlights the potential of miR-126 depletion as a therapeutic approach for inv(16) AML.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of FLT3-ITD length on 32D cell proliferation, apoptosis and sensitivity to FLT3 inhibitor, so as to provide references for stepwise therapy of FLT3-ITD mutated acute myeloid leukemia patients. METHODS: Three different FLT3-ITD mutants with same or adjacent insert sites were selected and constructed in an eukaryotic expression vector. FLT3-ITD mutants stably expressed 32D cell strains were selected with the help of lentivirus system and IL3 free cell culture medium. The proliferation and apoptosis of 32D cell strains after AC220 treatment were detected. RESULTS: FLT3-ITD mutants (ITD1, ITD2 and ITD3) stably expressed 32D cell strains were constructed successfully. In the absence of IL3 factor, the proliferation number of ITD1, ITD2 and ITD3 cell strains were mounted up to 2.3 folds, 3.7 folds, and 4.3 folds after 48 hours, respectively. Under the exposure of FLT3 inhibitor AC220, the IC50 values was 0.183, 0.446 and 0.836 nmol/L, and apoptosis rates was 88.6%, 34.2% and 16.1%, respectively. CONCLUSION: FLT3-ITD mutant expressed cell strains with longer ITD show higher capacity of proliferation and higher tolerance to AC220 treatment.
