    查看更多>>摘要:Thrombosis remains a major global health concern mainly characterized by high rates of morbidity and mortality.Animal models serve as an indispensable tool to understand the underlying pathogenesis of thrombosis and assess the efficacy of novel antithrombotic drugs.Currently,zebrafish has emerged as a valuable model organism for thrombosis research.However,the traditional method of studying zebrafish thrombosis requires a laborious and time-consuming procedure,including anesthesia and manual im-mobilization of zebrafish.In this study,based on hydrodynamic force,a lateral-immobilization zebrafish microfluidic chip(LIZMC)was designed to evaluate the cardiovascular system of multiple larvae within a single microscope field of view.Specifically,coupling with microscope imaging,real-time monitoring of the peripheral blood circulation in the tail of phenylhydrazine(PHZ)-induced zebrafish thrombosis was enabled.Furthermore,the reliability of LIZMC for in vivo evaluation of antithrombotic agents in zebrafish was verified using aspirin.Collectively,this novel LIZMC-based system can be used for in vivo zebrafish thrombosis studies and rapid screening of antithrombotic agents.

    查看更多>>摘要:Human Notum(hNotum)inhibitors could be used for treating Wnt signalling-associated diseases includ-ing colorectal cancer.Herein,two series of chalcone derivatives were designed and synthesized aiming to find selective and potent hNotum inhibitors.Structure-activity relationship(SAR)studies showed that 2-methoxyl and 5-bromine substitutions on A-ring significantly enhanced anti-hNotum effect,while 4'-ethoxyl and 3'-alkyl substitutions on B-ring were beneficial for hNotum inhibition.Among all tested chalcones,B11 displayed the most potent anti-Notum effect(IC50=3.6nmol/L),good selectivity,excel-lent chemical stability and suitable metabolic stability.Further investigations showed that B11 acted as a competitive inhibitor of hNotum,while this agent(5 μmol/L)significantly weaken the migration abilities of colorectal cancer cells.Collectively,this study deciphers the SARs of chalcones as hNotum inhibitors and reports a novel and potent hNotum inhibitor with the anti-migration effect on colorectal cancer cells,which offers a promising lead compound to develop novel anti-cancer agents.

    查看更多>>摘要:Inhibition of mycobacterial membrane protein large 3(MmpL3)thereby affecting the mycolic acid biosyn-thetic pathway has been proven to be an effective strategy for developing antitubercular drugs.Based on the X-ray crystal structure of MmpL3 inhibitor complexes,a series of novel 1,2,4-triazole derivatives were designed,synthesized and evaluated antitubercular activity against Mtb strain H37Rv.Comprehen-sive structure-activity relationship exploration resulted in the identification of compounds 21 and 28,which possess potent antitubercular activity against Mtb strain H37Rv[minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)=0.03-0.13 μg/mL]and the clinical isolates of multidrug resistance(MDR)and extensive drug resis-tance(XDR)tuberculosis(MIC=0.06-1.O μg/mL).Moreover,compounds 21 and 28 showed neglectable cytotoxicity(IC50 ≥ 32 μg/mL)to the mammalian Vero cells and favorable physicochemical and pharma-cokinetic properties according to the in silico absorption,distribution,metabolism and excretion(ADME)prediction.Finally,the potential target of representative 1,2,4-triazole 28 was identified to be MmpL3 using a microscale thermophoresis(MST)assay.

    查看更多>>摘要:Oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)is known as one of the most malignant tumors with high recur-rence and fatality rate.The poor tumor-targeting ability of traditional chemotherapeutic drugs has been a grand challenge for anti-OSCC therapy.Beyond that,a large quantity of tumor associated macrophages in OSCC tissues further diminish the anti-tumor effects of these drugs.Therefore,we produced a therapeu-tic nano drug delivery system(FA-PEG-PLA-JQ1)through encapsulating JQ1[a small-molecule inhibitor of bromodomain containing protein 4(BRD4)]into the folic acid(FA)-modified nanoparticle(PEG-PLA),which could prolong the half-life of JQ1 and target the tumor tissues.And then,JQ1 released from this nanoparticle could prevent OSCC growth inducing tumor cell apoptosis,inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and the polarization of M2 type macrophages.In conclusion,our date demonstrated the therapeutic ben-efits of FA-PEG-PLA-JQ1 against OSCC in vivo or in vitro,which could be a novel treatment strategy for OSCC in coming days.

    查看更多>>摘要:Early pathogenesis of ischemia-reperfusion(I/R)-induced acute kidney injury(AKI)is dominated by in-tracellular calcium overload,which induces oxidative stress,intracellular energy metabolism disorder,in-flammatory activation,and a series of pathologic cascaded reactions that are closely intertwined with self-amplifying and interactive feedback loops,ultimately resulting in cell damage and kidney failure.Cur-rently,most nanomedicines originate from the perspective of antioxidant stress,which can only quench existing reactive oxide species(ROS)but cannot prevent the continuous production of ROS,resulting in insufficient efficacy.As a safe and promising drug,BAPTA-AM is hydrolyzed into BAPTA by intracel-lular esterase upon entering cells,which can rapidly chelate with overloaded Ca2+,restoring intracel-lular calcium homeostasis,thus inhibiting ROS regeneration at the source.Here,we designed a KTP-targeting peptide-modified yolk-shell structure of liposome-poly(ethylene glycol)methyl ether-block-poly(L-lactide-co-glycolic)(mPLGA)hybrid nanoparticles(<100nm),with the characteristics of high encap-sulation rate,high colloid stability,facile modification,and prolonged blood circulation time.Once the BA/mPLGA@Lipo-KTP was targeted to the site of kidney injury,the cholesteryl hemisuccinate(CHEMS)in the phospholipid bilayer,as an acidic cholesterol ester,was protonated in the simulated inflamma-tory slightly acidic environment(pH 6.5),causing the liposomes to rupture and release the BA/mPLGA nanoparticles,which were then depolymerized by intracellular esterase.The BAPTA-AM was diffused and hydrolyzed to produce BAPTA,which can rapidly cut off the malignant loop of calcium overload/ROS gen-eration at its source,blocking the endoplasmic reticulum(ER)apoptosis pathway(ATF4-CHOP-Bax/Bcl-2,Casp-12-Casp-3)and the inflammatory pathway(TNF-α-NF-κB-IL-6 axes),thus alleviating patholog-ical changes in kidney tissue,thereby inhibiting the expression of renal tubular marker kidney injury molecule 1(Kim-1)(reduced by 82.9%)and also exhibiting prominent anti-apoptotic capability(TUNEL-positive ratio decreased from 40.2%to 8.3%),significantly restoring renal function.Overall,this research holds huge potential in the treatment of I/R injury-related diseases.

    查看更多>>摘要:Second near-infrared(NIR-Ⅱ)light triggered in-situ tumor vaccination(ISTV)represents one of the most promising strategies in boosting the whole-body antitumor immunity.While most of previously devel-oped nano-adjuvants for NIR-Ⅱ-triggered ISTV are"all-in-one"formulations,which may indiscriminately damage both the tumor cells and the immune cells,limiting the overall effect of immune response.To overcome this obstacle,we designed a"cocktail"nano-adjuvant by physically mixing hyaluronidases(HAase)-decorated gold nanostars(HA)for NIR-Ⅱ light triggered in situ production of tumor-associated antigens and CpG functionalized gold nanospheres(CA)for immune cells activation.Compared to"all-in-one"formulation,the"cocktail"nano-adjuvants displayed a significantly stronger immune response on NIR-Ⅱ light induced dendritic cells(DCs)mutation and T cells differentiation,greater effect on tumor-growth inhibition,and higher efficacy in inhibition of pulmonary metastases.What is more,increasing the molar ratio of HA to CA led to an enhanced anticancer immune responses.This study highlight the nano-adjuvant formulation effects on the treatment of tumors with multiple targets.

    查看更多>>摘要:Combining phototherapy and chemotherapy has been considered a promising modality for cancer ther-apy due to their synergistic effect.Herein,we developed three D-π-A-structured boron dipyrromethenes(BODIPYs)(named as B-B,B-C,and B-C-Pt).Due to their enlarged π-conjugated structure and high intramolecular charge transfer effect,the synthesized BODIPYs had photothermal conversion capability,and their absorption and fluorescence spectra were red-shifted.The cisplatin-appended BODIPY(B-C-Pt)exhibited good singlet oxygen(1O2)generation ability and near infrared(NIR)absorption and fluores-cence(λAbs=748 nm,λEm=947 nm).After being encapsulated by distearoyl phosphoethanolamine polyethyleneglycol 2000(DSPE-PEG-2000),which could inhibit the H-aggregation of B-C-Pt,the absorp-tion and fluorescence of the obtained B-C-Pt nanoparticles(NPs)were red-shifted to 762 and 985 nm,respectively.The 1O2 quantum yield and photothermal conversion efficiency of the B-C-Pt NPs were 4.0%and 40.6%,respectively.Moreover,B-C-Pt NPs had chemotherapeutic efficacy due to the presence of cis-platin.In vitro and in vivo studies further demonstrated that B-C-Pt NPs had synergistic therapeutic ef-ficacy.Together,B-C-Pt NPs could be employed in NIR Ⅱ fluorescent and photoacoustic imaging-guided synergistic phototherapy and chemotherapy for cancer treatment.

    查看更多>>摘要:Developing fluorescence probes with multiple responses has vital significance but remains challeng-ing.Herein,for the first time,we present a mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)-triggered pH response signal-amplified fluorescent probe(QCY-DBT)for multiple cell detection.The probe exhibited a large stokes shift(229 nm),excellent DNA selectivity over RNA,and ultrasensitivity of detection limit(DL;74.0ng/mL).Thus,QCY-DBT was successfully applied to analyze multiple human peripheral blood cells and visualize mtDNA in healthy and apoptotic cells.In the tumor acidic environment(pH6.0-7.0),the absorbance of QCY-DBT at 436 nm increased,and the fluorescence signal(665 nm)was amplified by mtDNA,which enabled the direct observation of tumor cells.Our study provides help in designing smart probes with multiple responses for efficient abnormal cell detection.
