ADAM9 drives the immunosuppressive microenvironment by cholesterol biosynthesis-mediated activation of IL6-STAT3 signaling for lung tumor progression.

Chronic inflammation associated with lung cancers contributes to immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments, reducing CD8+ T-cell function and leading to poor patient outcomes. A disintegrin and metalloprotease domain 9 (ADAM9) promotes cancer progression. Here, we aim to elucidate the role of ADAM9 in the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. A bioinformatic analysis of TIMER2.0 was used to investigate the correlation of ADAM9 and to infiltrate immune cells in the human lung cancer database and mouse lung tumor samples. Flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) were performed to investigate the ADAM9-mediated immunosuppressive microenvironment. The coculture system of lung cancer cells with immune cells, cytokine array assays, and proteomic approach was used to investigate the mechanism. By analyzing the human LUAD database and the mouse lung cancer models, we showed that ADAM9 was associated with the immunosuppressive microenvironment. Additionally, ADAM9 released IL6 protein from cancer cells to inhibit IL12p40 secretion from dendritic cells, therefore leading to dendritic cell dysfunction and further affecting T-cell functions. Proteomic analysis indicated that ADAM9 promoted cholesterol biosynthesis and increased IL6-STAT3 signaling. Mechanistically, ADAM9 reduced the protein stability of LDLR, resulting in reduced cholesterol uptake and induced cholesterol biosynthesis. Moreover, LDLR reduction enhanced IL6-STAT3 activation. We reveal that ADAM9 has a novel biological function that drives the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment by linking lung cancer's metabolic and signaling axes. Thus, by targeting ADAM9 an innovative and promising therapeutic opportunity was indicated for regulating the immunosuppression of lung cancer.

Verteporfin suppressed mitophagy via PINK1/parkin pathway in endometrial cancer.

Endometrial cancer (EC) is a malignancy that poses a threat to woman's health worldwide. Building upon prior work, we explored the inhibitory effect of verteporfin on EC. We showed that verteporfin can damage the mitochondria of EC cells, leading to a decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential and an increase in ROS (reactive oxygen species). In addition, verteporfin treatment was shown to inhibit the proliferation and migration of EC cells, promote apoptosis, and reduce the expression of mitophagy-related proteins PINK1/parkin and TOM20. The ROS inhibitor N-Acetyl Cysteine was able to rescue the expression of PINK1/parkin proteins. This suggests that verteporfin may inhibit mitophagy by elevating ROS levels, thereby inhibiting EC cell viability. The effect of verteporfin on mitophagy supports further investigation as a potential therapeutic option for EC.

Application of 4D flow MRI for exploring factors affecting haemodynamics of iliac veins in asymptomatic population.

BACKGROUND: Haemodynamics plays an important role in the development of vascular disease. There is currently a lack of studies evaluating the characteristics and affecting factors of the iliac vein haemodynamics in clinical practice. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to use 4D flow MRI to explore the haemodynamic characteristics of iliac veins and its affecting factors in an asymptomatic population. METHODS: Thirty consecutive volunteers without venous-related symptoms or signs underwent four-dimensional postprocessing of their MRI images. Relevant parameters, the demographic data, common iliac vein-inferior vena cava angle, iliac vein area, tortuosity, iliac vein mean flow, mean velocity was computed and analysed. T tests and Spearman's tests were used for analysing. A P value of 0.05 or less was considered significant. RESULTS: Height and iliac vein area were positively correlated with flow, while degree of stenosis, and common iliac-inferior vena cava angle were negatively correlated with that. Degree of stenosis was positively correlated with velocity, but the common iliac-inferior vena cava angle and iliac vein tortuosity were negatively correlated with that. The mean flow and velocity of iliac veins in females were lower than males. The mean flow and velocity of the left iliac veins were lower than those of the right. CONCLUSION: The height, gender, tortuosity, degree of stenosis, common iliac vein-inferior vena cava angle of the iliac vein are important factors that affect flow and velocity of the iliac veins. There were differences in haemodynamic parameters of the bilateral iliac veins.

Properties of modified chitosan-based films and coatings and their application in the preservation of edible mushrooms: A review.

Edible mushrooms are prone to deteriorate during storage. A Single chitosan film or coating has limitations in preservation. Therefore, this article focused on the improvement of modified chitosan-based films and coatings on properties related to storage quality of edible mushrooms (e.g.: safety, barrier, mechanical, antioxidant and antibacterial properties). Besides, the application of chitosan-based materials in the preservation of mushrooms was also discussed. The modified chitosan film and coating can slow down the respiration of mushrooms, inhibit the growth of microorganisms, protect antioxidant compositions, and regulate the activity of related enzymes, thus improving the quality and prolonging the shelf life of mushrooms. Meanwhile, the added ingredients improve the water and gas barrier properties of chitosan through volume and group occupation, and reduce the light transmittance of chitosan through light transmission, scattering and absorption. Essential oils and polyphenolic compounds had a better enhancement of antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of chitosan.

TRPV1 signaling of perirenal adipose tissue promotes DOCA-Salt-induced hypertension and kidney injury.

BACKGROUND: Denervation of renal or perirenal adipose tissue (PRAT) can reduce arterial blood pressure in various hypertensive experimental models. Trpv1 (transient receptor potential vanillin 1) channel is highly expressed in the renal sensory nerves and the dorsal root ganglias (DRGs) projected by PRAT. However, it is currently unclear whether Trpv1 in DRGs projected from PRAT can regulate renal hypertension. METHODS: We used resintoxin (RTX) to block the afferent sensory nerves of rat PRAT. We also constructed Trpv1-/- mice and Trpv1+/- mice or used the injection of AAV2-retro-shTrpv1 to detect the effects of Trpv1 knockout or knockdown of PRAT-projected DRGs on deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-Salt-induced hypertension and kidney injury. RESULTS: Blocking the afferent sensory nerves of PRAT with RTX can alleviate DOCA-Salt-induced hypertension and renal injury in rats. And this blockade reduces the expression of Trpv1 in the DRGs projected by PRAT. Injecting AAV2-retro-shTrpv1 into the PRAT of DOCA-Salt mice also achieved the same therapeutic effect. However, DOCA-Salt-induced hypertension and renal injury can be treated in Trpv1+/- mice but not alleviated or even worsened in Trpv1-/- mice, possibly because of compensatory increase of Trpv5 in DRG of Trpv1-/- mice. CONCLUSION: Reducing, rather than eliminating, Trpv1 in DRG from PRAT-projection can reduce blood pressure and kidney damage in DOCA-Salt in rats or mice. Trpv1 in PRAT-DRGs may serve as a therapeutic target for salt-sensitive hypertension and its renal complications.

Ocular A-to-I RNA editing signatures associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Ophthalmic manifestations have recently been observed in acute and post-acute complications of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our precious study has shown that host RNA editing is linked to RNA viral infection, yet ocular adenosine to inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing during SARS-CoV-2 infection remains uninvestigated in COVID-19. Herein we used an epitranscriptomic pipeline to analyze 37 samples and investigate A-to-I editing associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, in five ocular tissue types including the conjunctiva, limbus, cornea, sclera, and retinal organoids. Our results revealed dramatically altered A-to-I RNA editing across the five ocular tissues. Notably, the transcriptome-wide average level of RNA editing was increased in the cornea but generally decreased in the other four ocular tissues. Functional enrichment analysis showed that differential RNA editing (DRE) was mainly in genes related to ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process, transcriptional regulation, and RNA splicing. In addition to tissue-specific RNA editing found in each tissue, common RNA editing was observed across different tissues, especially in the innate antiviral immune gene MAVS and the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase MDM2. Analysis in retinal organoids further revealed highly dynamic RNA editing alterations over time during SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our study thus suggested the potential role played by RNA editing in ophthalmic manifestations of COVID-19, and highlighted its potential transcriptome impact, especially on innate immunity.

Dextromethorphan moderates reward deficiency associated with central serotonin transporter availability in 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine-treated animals.

BACKGROUND: The neurotoxicity of 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine (MDMA) to the serotonergic system is well-documented. Dextromethorphan (DM), an antitussive drug, decreased morphine- or methamphetamine (MA)-induced reward in rats and may prevent MDMA-induced serotonergic deficiency in primates, as indicated by increased serotonin transporter (SERT) availability. We aimed to investigate the effects of DM on reward, behavioral sensitization, and neurotoxicity associated with loss of SERT induced by chronic MDMA administration in rats. METHODS: Conditioned place preference (CPP) and locomotor activity tests were used to evaluate drug-induced reward and behavioral sensitization; 4-[ 18 F]-ADAM/animal-PET and immunohistochemistry were used to explore the effects of DM on MDMA-induced loss of SERT. RESULTS: MDMA significantly reduced SERT binding in the rat brain; however, co-administration of DM significantly restored SERT, enhancing the recovery rate at day 14 by an average of ~23% compared to the MDMA group. In confirmation of the PET findings, immunochemistry revealed MDMA reduced SERT immunoactivity in all brain regions, whereas DM markedly increased the serotonergic fiber density after MDMA induction. CONCLUSION: Behavioral tests and in vivo longitudinal PET imaging demonstrated the CPP indexes and locomotor activities of the reward system correlate negatively with PET 4-[ 18 F]ADAM SERT activity in the reward system. Our findings suggest MDMA induces functional abnormalities in a network of brain regions important to decision-making processes and the motivation circuit. DM may exert neuroprotective effects to reverse MDMA-induced neurotoxicity.

[Development and application of SSR markers of Saposhnikovia divaricata based on transcriptome].

Transcriptome sequencing was employed to mine the simple sequence repeat(SSR) locus information of Saposhnikovia divaricata and design specific primers, which aimed to provide a basis for the research on the genetic diversity of S. divaricata germplasm resources. The seed purity, 1 000-seed weight, germination rate, and seed vigor were determined. MISA was used to obtain the SSR locus information from 12 606 unigene longer than 1 kb in the transcriptome database. Forty-three pairs of SSR primers designed in Primer 3 were used to analyze the polymorphism of 28 S. divaricata samples of different sources. The results showed that there were differences in the seed purity, 1 000-seed weight, germination rate, vigor, and seed length and width among S. divaricata samples of different sources. Particularly, the germination rate and seed vigor had significant differences, and HB-ZJK1, NMG-CF4, NMG-BT, NMG-HLE1, and NMG-CF2 had significantly higher 1 000-seed weight, germination rate, and seed vigor than the samples of other sources. Among the 86 233 unigene, 12 606(14.62%) unigene contained 15 958 SSR loci, with one SSR locus every 5 009 bp on average. The SSR loci were mainly single nucleotide and dinucleotide repeats, which were dominated by G/C and TC/AG, respectively. All the primers were screened by using 28 S. divaricata sample from different habitats, and the primers corresponding to the amplification products with clear bands and stable polymorphism were obtained. The clustering results of the biological characteristics and genetic diversity of the 28 S. divaricata samples were basically consistent, and the samples of the same origin(HB-AG1, HB-AG2, HB-ZJK1, and HB-ZJK2) generally gathered together and had close genetic relationship. The SSRs in S. divaricata transcriptome has high frequency, rich types, and high polymorphism, which provides candidate molecular markers for the germplasm identification, genetic map construction, and molecular-assisted breeding.

Ultrasound in Female Urinary Incontinence.

Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common health condition that may interfere with the quality of life. A comprehensive evaluation of female UI helps with effective and safe treatments. Ultrasound has gained popularity to explore UI recently because it can collect crucial information for treatment planning and counseling. Translabial and introital approaches are commonly and reliably applied to ultrasound. The images can be obtained using two-dimensional and three-dimensional ultrasounds. Ultrasound is the only modality capable of confirming the presence or absence of a mid-urethral sling (MUS) and is able to demonstrate bulking agents as well. Although some of the ultrasound findings may only be incidental or supplementary to the patient's symptoms, ultrasound benefits for investigating the pathophysiology of UI and surgical outcomes of MUS procedures. It is anticipated that standardization in terminology, measurement techniques, and reporting can be established in the near future.

Synaptic Properties of a PbHfO3 Ferroelectric Memristor for Neuromorphic Computing.

The conventional von Neumann architecture has proven to be inadequate in keeping up with the rapid progress in artificial intelligence. Memristors have become the favored devices for simulating synaptic behavior and enabling neuromorphic computations to address challenges. An artificial synapse utilizing the perovskite structure PbHfO3 (PHO) has been created to tackle these concerns. By employing the sol-gel technique, a ferroelectric film composed of Au/PHO/FTO was created on FTO/glass for the purpose of this endeavor. The artificial synapse is composed of Au/PHO/FTO and exhibits learning and memory characteristics that are similar to those observed in biological neurons. The recognition accuracy for both MNIST and Fashion-MNIST data sets saw an increase, reaching 92.93% and 76.75%, respectively. This enhancement resulted from employing a convolutional neural network architecture and implementing an improved stochastic adaptive algorithm. The presented findings showcase a viable approach to achieve neuromorphic computation by employing artificial synapses fabricated with PHO.

A comprehensive study to estimate income and price elasticities of household electricity consumption using Auto-metrics.

This study focuses on understanding family electricity consumption behaviors in response to income and price changes from 1994 to 2022 across 12 prominent European countries. We employ a unique econometric approach, Auto-selection Models, to analyze the nuances of energy demand elasticity. Our methodology includes the use of saturation techniques, which are highly effective in identifying anomalies and discontinuities in the data, ensuring the reliability of our results. The Auto-metrics method streamlines the model selection process and enhances the accuracy of elasticity predictions. We use Error Correction Models (ECMs) for each country to examine the long-term equilibrium relationships among key variables such as energy consumption, household income, electricity prices, and weather patterns, taking into account any observed anomalies and significant structural changes. The findings reveal varying levels of income and price elasticity across the countries, reflecting their unique economic and climatic conditions. The study's results hold significant implications for policymaking. By recognizing and adapting to the varied characteristics of electricity demand elasticity, energy policies can be more accurately tailored at both the national and European Union levels.

Characterization of three lamp genes from largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides): molecular cloning, expression patterns, and their transcriptional levels in response to fast and refeeding strategy.

Lysosomes-associated membrane proteins (LAMPs), a family of glycosylated proteins and major constituents of the lysosomal membranes, play a dominant role in various cellular processes, including phagocytosis, autophagy and immunity in mammals. However, their roles in aquatic species remain poorly known. In the present study, three lamp genes were cloned and characterized from Micropterus salmoides. Subsequently, their transcriptional levels in response to different nutritional status were investigated. The full-length coding sequences of lamp1, lamp2 and lamp3 were 1251bp, 1224bp and 771bp, encoding 416, 407 and 256 amino acids, respectively. Multiple sequence alignment showed that LAMP1-3 were highly conserved among the different fish species, respectively. 3-D structure prediction, genomic survey, and phylogenetic analysis were further confirmed that these genes are widely existed in vertebrates. The mRNA expression of the three genes was ubiquitously expressed in all selected tissues, including liver, brain, gill, heart, muscle, spleen, kidney, stomach, adipose and intestine, lamp1 shows highly transcript levels in brain and muscle, lamp2 displays highly expression level in heart, muscle and spleen, but lamp3 shows highly transcript level in spleen, liver and kidney. To analyze the function of the three genes under starvation stress in largemouth bass, three experimental treatment groups (fasted group and refeeding group, control group) were established in the current study. The results indicated that the expression of lamp1 was significant induced after starvation, and then returned to normal levels after refeeding in the liver. The expression of lamp2 and lamp3 exhibited the same trend in the liver. In addition, in the spleen and the kidney, the transcript level of lamp1 and lamp2 was remarkably increased in the fasted treatment group and slightly decreased in the refed treatment group, respectively. Collectively, our findings suggest that three lamp genes may have differential function in the immune and energetic organism in largemouth bass, which is helpful in understanding roles of lamps in aquatic species.

Comparison of three concentrations of ropivacaine in posterior quadratus lumborum block: A randomized clinical trial.

Background: A conclusive evidence regarding the optimal concentration and volume of local anesthetic for quadratus lumborum block is lacking. Methods: In this single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled study, 60 patients scheduled for laparoscopic colorectal surgery were randomly assigned to 3 different combinations of volume and concentration of ropivacaine (3 mg/kg) - Group 0.25%, Group 0.375% and Group 0.5%. All subjects received ultrasound-guided posterior quadratus lumborum block prior to the induction. The primary outcome was the complete sensory block rate of surgical site measured at 30 min after quadratus lumborum block, after extubation, at 12, 24, and 48 h after operation. Secondary outcomes were the changes in hemodynamic parameters before and after incision (ΔSBP, ΔDBP and ΔHR), postoperative pain score, the sufentanil consumption after surgery, length of stay and adverse reactions. Results: The sensory block rate of surgical site at 5 time points differed significantly among the three groups (P < 0.001). Both Group 0.375% (P < 0.001) and Group 0.5% (P < 0.001) had a higher sensory block rate than Group 0.25%, but no significant difference was observed between the former two. Group 0.375% and Group 0.5% had lower postoperative pain scores, lower sufentanil consumption after surgery and shorter length of stay. No statistical difference was observed in ΔSBP, ΔDBP, ΔHR and the incidence of adverse reactions. Conclusions: 0.375% and 0.5% ropivacaine in posterior quadratus lumborum block provide better sensory block of surgical site when compared to 0.25% in laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Trial registration number: Chinese Clinical Trials Registry (ChiCTR2100043949).

Multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of kidney cancer identifies 63 susceptibility regions.

Here, in a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study meta-analysis of kidney cancer (29,020 cases and 835,670 controls), we identified 63 susceptibility regions (50 novel) containing 108 independent risk loci. In analyses stratified by subtype, 52 regions (78 loci) were associated with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and 6 regions (7 loci) with papillary RCC. Notably, we report a variant common in African ancestry individuals ( rs7629500 ) in the 3' untranslated region of VHL, nearly tripling clear cell RCC risk (odds ratio 2.72, 95% confidence interval 2.23-3.30). In cis-expression quantitative trait locus analyses, 48 variants from 34 regions point toward 83 candidate genes. Enrichment of hypoxia-inducible factor-binding sites underscores the importance of hypoxia-related mechanisms in kidney cancer. Our results advance understanding of the genetic architecture of kidney cancer, provide clues for functional investigation and enable generation of a validated polygenic risk score with an estimated area under the curve of 0.65 (0.74 including risk factors) among European ancestry individuals.

Association between sleep apnea and ultrasound-defined liver fibrosis: Results from NHANES 2017 to 2020.

Liver fibrosis is a critical factor in the advancement of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease towards cirrhosis. There is limited research exploring the association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and liver fibrosis among community populations. The present study aimed to assess the association between sleep apnea (SA) and liver fibrosis based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Data were acquired from NHANES survey cycle 2017 to 2020. We assessed liver fibrosis by the median values of liver stiffness measurement (LSM). The diagnosis of SA was based on participants' response to sleep questionnaire. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to validate the association of SA and liver fibrosis. A total of 7615 participants were included in this study. The LSM level of SA group was significantly higher than non-SA group. The proportion of liver fibrosis in SA group was markedly higher than that in non-SA group (14.0% vs 7.3%, P < .001). Univariate logistic analysis showed that SA was positively associated with liver fibrosis (OR = 2.068, 95%CI = 1.715-2.494, P < .001). Further multivariate logistic analysis revealed that SA was independently associated with increased risk of liver fibrosis after adjusting for confounding factors (OR = 1.277, 95%CI = 1.003-1.625, P = .048). The current study demonstrated an independent association between self-reported SA and increased risk of ultrasound-defined liver fibrosis in community-based sample.

Associations of Matrix Metalloproteinase-8 Genotypes to Renal Cell Carcinoma in Taiwan.

BACKGROUND/AIM: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) presents a formidable clinical challenge due to its aggressive behavior and limited therapeutic options. Matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) has recently emerged as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for various cancers. However, the genetic involvement of MMP-8 in RCC has remained largely obscure. This study aimed to elucidate the role of MMP-8 genotypes in RCC susceptibility. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique was employed to scrutinize the genotypes of MMP-8 C-799T (rs11225395), Val436Ala (rs34009635), and Lys460Thr (rs35866072) among 118 RCC patients and 590 controls. Furthermore, potential associations between MMP-8 genotypes and age, sex, smoking, alcohol consumption, hypertension, diabetes, and family history status in relation to RCC risk were assessed. RESULTS: No significant disparities in the distribution of MMP-8 rs11225395, rs34009635, and rs35866072 genotypes were observed between the RCC case and control cohorts (p>0.05). Individuals with CT and TT genotypes at MMP-8 rs11225395 exhibited 0.86- and 0.80-fold RCC risks, respectively (OR=0.57-1.31 and 0.42-1.55, p=0.5585 and 0.6228, respectively). Intriguingly, hypertensive individuals carrying the MMP-8 rs11225395 CT or TT genotype demonstrated an elevated risk for RCC compared to those with wild-type CC genotype (p=0.0440). No interactions of MMP-8 genotypes with age, sex, smoking, alcohol consumption, or diabetes status were evident (all p>0.05). No significant association was discerned for MMP-8 rs34009635 or rs35866072 genotypes. CONCLUSION: MMP-8 genotypes appear to have a modest influence on individual susceptibility to RCC. Hypertensive patients with the CT or TT MMP-8 rs11225395 genotype may have an elevated risk of RCC.

Improving small-scale fishermen's subjective well-being in Indonesia: Does the internet use play a role?

The expansion of Internet access from urban to rural and coastal areas has changed all aspects of life, including lifestyles and work practices. Although several studies have shown that Internet use is essential in the fisheries sector, more information about the link between Internet usage and subjective well-being among small-scale fishermen is needed. This study is the first attempt to investigate the effect of Internet use on subjective well-being, particularly for small-scale fishers. This study used cross-sectional data from 220 respondents in East Java, Indonesia. Two-stage predictor substitution (2SPS) approaches were used to address the endogeneity issue in the estimation. The results revealed that fishing tools, access to credit, and region positively and significantly influenced small-scale fishers' determination to use the Internet. Savings and off-farm employment significantly and negatively affect adoption decisions. The main findings suggest that Internet use significantly increases small-scale fishermen's subjective well-being (proxied by happiness and life satisfaction). This suggests that improving the Internet infrastructure in coastal areas is needed to support economic activities in the fisheries sector and boost the well-being of small-scale fishers.

Safety assessment of a proprietary fermented soybean solution, Symbiota®, as an ingredient for use in foods and dietary supplements: Non-clinical studies and a randomized trial.

A safety evaluation was performed of Symbiota®, which is made by a proprietary anaerobic fermentation process of soybean with multistrains of probiotics and a yeast. The battery of genotoxicity studies showed that Symbiota® has no genotoxic effects. Safety and tolerability were further assessed by acute or repeated dose 28- and 90-day rodent studies, and no alterations in clinical observations, ophthalmological examination, blood chemistry, urinalysis, or hematology were observed between the control group and the different dosing groups (1.5, 5, and 15 mL/kg/day). There were no adverse effects on specific tissues or organs in terms of weight and histopathology. Importantly, the Symbiota® treatment did not perturb hormones and other endocrine-related endpoints. Of note, the No-Observed-Adverse-Effect-Level was determined to be 15 mL/kg/day in rats. Moreover, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was recently conducted with healthy volunteers who consumed 8 mL/day of placebo or Symbiota® for 8 weeks. Only mild adverse events were reported in both groups, and the blood chemistry and blood cell profiles were also similar between the two groups. In summary, this study concluded that the oral consumption of Symbiota® at 8 mL/day by the general population does not pose any human health concerns.

Core-Shell Gold Nanoparticles@Pd-Loaded Covalent Organic Framework for In Situ Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Monitoring of Catalytic Reactions.

A core-shell nanostructure of gold nanoparticles@covalent organic framework (COF) loaded with palladium nanoparticles (AuNPs@COF-PdNPs) was designed for the rapid monitoring of catalytic reactions with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The nanostructure was prepared by coating the COF layer on AuNPs and then in situ synthesizing PdNPs within the COF shell. With the respective SERS activity and catalytic performance of the AuNP core and COF-PdNPs shell, the nanostructure can be directly used in the SERS study of the catalytic reaction processes. It was shown that the confinement effect of COF resulted in the high dispersity of PdNPs and outstanding catalytic activity of AuNPs@COF-PdNPs, thus improving the reaction rate constant of the AuNPs@COF-PdNPs-catalyzed hydrogenation reduction by 10 times higher than that obtained with Au/Pd NPs. In addition, the COF layer can serve as a protective shell to make AuNPs@COF-PdNPs possess excellent reusability. Moreover, the loading of PdNPs within the COF layer was found to be in favor of avoiding intermediate products to achieve a high total conversion rate. AuNPs@COF-PdNPs also showed great catalytic activities toward the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction. Taken together, the proposed core-shell nanostructure has great potential in monitoring and exploring catalytic processes and interfacial reactions.
