RESUMO
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) remains challenging to diagnose and treat clinically due to its difficult early diagnosis, low surgical resection rate, and high risk of postoperative recurrence and metastasis. SMAD4 is a classical mutated gene in pancreatic cancer and is lost in up to 60%-90 % of PAAD patients, and its mutation often predicts a poor prognosis and treatment resistance. In this study, based on the expression profile data in The Cancer Genome Atlas database, we identified a ceRNA network composed of 2 lncRNAs, 1 miRNA, and 4 mRNAs through differential expression analysis and survival prognosis analysis. Among them, high expression of KLK10/LIPH/PARD6B/SLC52A3 influenced the prognosis and overall survival of PAAD patients. We confirmed the high expression of these target genes in pancreatic tissue of pancreatic-specific SMAD4-deficient mice. In addition, immune infiltration analysis showed that the high expression of these target genes affects the tumor immune environment and contributes to the progression of PAAD. Abnormal overexpression of these target genes may be caused by hypermethylation. In conclusion, we found that KLK10/LIPH/PARD6B/SLC52A3 is a potential prognostic marker for PAAD based on a competing endogenous RNA-mediated mechanism and revealed the potential pathogenic mechanism by which deficient expression of SMAD4 promotes pancreatic cancer progression, which provides a new pathway and theoretical basis for targeted therapy or improved prognosis of pancreatic cancer. These data will help reveal potential therapeutic targets for pancreatic cancer and improve the prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients.
RESUMO
One trinuclear and two tetranuclear cyanide-bridged Fe(III)-Ni(II) complexes were synthesized via treatment of a tricyanometallate with divalent Ni salts in the presence of 1-butylimidazole, 2,2-bipyrimidyl and 1,10-phenanthroline, respectively. Magnetic property studies demonstrated that the three complexes exhibit single-molecule magnet behavior as a result of strong intracluster ferromagnetic coupling and weak intercluster magnetic interactions.
RESUMO
A cyano-bridged ferromagnetic {Fe(III)Ni(II)} alternating chain {[Fe(pzTp)(CN)3][Ni(chxn)2]}·ClO4·H2O (1) (pzTp = tetrakis(pyrazolyl)borate, chxn = (1R,2R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane) was synthesized via rational design. Crystal structure analysis and magnetic studies demonstrated that compound had a one-dimensional zigzagging chain-like structure and slow magnetic relaxation.
RESUMO
Single-chain magnets (SCMs) that exhibit slow relaxation of their magnetization are attracting considerable attention. To tune the properties of such materials with external stimuli such as light, heat, and pressure is a challenge. Through the exploitation of light and heat induced transformation between diamagnetic Fe(II)(LS)(mu-CN)Co(III)(LS) (LS = low spin) units and paramagnetic Fe(III)(LS)(mu-CN)Co(II)(HS) (HS = high spin) units, we show the photoswitched transformation from a paramagnetic state to an antiferromagnetic ordered SCM state and the thermally induced reverse transformation, thus providing an effective way to control the spin topology of the SCM via light or a thermally induced metal-to-metal charge transfer.
RESUMO
Using reversible polymerization and depolymerization reactions in a single crystal state, we achieved a reversible transformation from a nanocluster to a coordination polymer. During the interconversion, the structural frameworks switched between nonporous hexanuclear clusters and porous double-zigzag chains; the magnetic behaviors switched between paramagnetism and metamagnetism, respectively. The microporous framework, which had 1D channels 1.9 A x 3.6 A in size, exhibited selective gas adsorption of H(2) and CO(2) over N(2).

A reversible single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation from hexanuclear clusters to a one-dimensional double-zigzag chain was established. With the reversible polymerization, the chirality and magnetic interactions are switched between achiral and chiral and between antiferromagnetic in hexanuclear clusters and ferrimagnetic in chains, respectively.
