| 1 | Elimination of senescent cells byβ-galactosidase-targeted prodrug attenuates inflammation and restores physical function in aged mice显示文摘Cellular senescence,a persistent state of cell cycle arrest,accumulates in aged organisms,contributes to tissue dysfunction,and drives age-related phenotypes.The clearance of senescent cells is expected to decrease chronic,low-grade inflammation and improve tissue repair capacity,thus attenuating the decline of physical function in aged organisms.However,selective and effective clearance of senescent cells of different cell types has proven challenging.Herein,we developed a prodrug strategy to design a new compound based on the increased activity of lysosomalβ-galactosidase(β-gal),a primary characteristic of senescent cells.Our prodrug SSK1 is specifically activated byβ-gal and eliminates mouse and human senescent cells independently of senescence inducers and cell types.In aged mice,our compound effectively cleared senescent cells in different tissues,decreased the senescence-and age-associated gene signatures,attenuated low-grade local and systemic inflammation,and restored physical function.Our results demonstrate that lysosomalβ-gal can be effectively leveraged to selectively eliminate senescent cells,providing a novel strategy to develop anti-aging interventions. | Yusheng Cai Huanhuan Zhou Yinhua Zhu Qi Sun Yin Ji Anqi Xue Yuting Wang Wenhan Chen Xiaojie Yu Longteng Wang Han Chen Cheng Li Tuoping Luo Hongkui Deng | 2020 | Cell Research2020,30,7: | 12 |
| 2 | Expansion of PmBEAT genes in the Prunus mume genome induces characteristic floral scent production显示文摘Prunus mume is the only plant in the genus Prunus of the Rosaceae family with a characteristic floral scent,and the main component of this scent is benzyl acetate.By contrast,benzyl acetate is not synthesized in Prunus persica flowers.Here,we searched for benzyl alcohol acetyltransferase(BEAT)genes based on genomic data from P.mume and P.persica and found 44 unique PmBEATs in P.mume.These genes,which were mainly detected in clusters on chromosomes,originated from gene duplication events during the species evolution of P.mume,and retroduplication and tandem duplication were the two dominant duplication patterns.The genes PmBEAT34,PmBEAT36 and PmBEAT37,which were generated by tandem duplication,were highly expressed in flowers,and their highest levels were detected during the blooming stage.In vitro,PmBEAT34,PmBEAT3,and PmBEAT37 all had benzyl alcohol acetyltransferase activity that was localized in the cytoplasm.Overexpression of the PmBEAT36 or PmBEAT37 genes increased benzyl acetate production in the petal protoplasts of P.mume,and interference in the expression of these genes slightly decreased the benzyl acetate content.In addition,light and temperature regulated the expression of the PmBEAT34,PmBEAT36 and PmBEAT37 genes.According to these results,we hypothesize that the expansion of the PmBEAT genes in the genome induce the characteristic floral scent of P.mume. | Fei Bao Anqi Ding Tengxun Zhang Le Luo Jia Wang Tangren Cheng Qixiang Zhang | 2019 | Horticulture Research2019,6,1: | 4 |
| 3 | Response of Freezing/Thawing Indexes to the Wetting Trend under Warming Climate Conditions over the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau during 1961–2010:A Numerical Simulation显示文摘Since the 1990s,the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau(QTP)has experienced a strikingly warming and wetter climate that alters the thermal and hydrological properties of frozen ground.A positive correlation between the warming and thermal degradation in permafrost or seasonally frozen ground(SFG)has long been recognized.Still,a predictive relationship between historical wetting under warming climate conditions and frozen ground has not yet been well demonstrated,despite the expectation that it will become even more important because precipitation over the QTP has been projected to increase continuously in the near future.This study investigates the response of the thermal regime to historical wetting in both permafrost and SFG areas and examines their relationships separately using the Community Land Surface Model version 4.5.Results show that wetting before the 1990s across the QTP mainly cooled the permafrost body in the arid and semiarid zones,with significant correlation coefficients of 0.60 and 0.48,respectively.Precipitation increased continually at the rate of 6.16 mm decade–1 in the arid zone after the 1990s but had a contrasting warming effect on permafrost through a significant shortening of the thawing duration within the active layer.However,diminished rainfall in the humid zone after the 1990s also significantly extended the thawing duration of SFG.The relationship between the ground thawing index and precipitation was significantly negatively correlated(−0.75).The dual effects of wetting on the thermal dynamics of the QTP are becoming critical because of the projected increases in future precipitation. | Xuewei FANG Zhi LI Chen CHENG Klaus FRAEDRICH Anqi WANG Yihui CHEN Yige XU Shihua LYU | 2023 | Advances in Atmospheric Sciences2023,40,2: | 0 |
| 4 | Chemical basis of pregnane X receptor activators in the herbal supplement Gancao (licorice)显示文摘Background and aims:The herbal supplement Gancao,also known as licorice,belongs to the genus Glycyrrhiza and has been used worldwide for its hepatoprotective effect.Recent studies have raised concerns about potential herb-drug interactions associated with Gancao via pregnane X receptor(PXR)-mediated induction of hepatic cytochrome P4503A4(CYP3A4).The current work aimed to determine the phytochemicals in Gancao that activate PXR and induce CYP3A4.Methods:DPX2 cells were used for cell-based PXR reporter assays.The phytochemicals in Gancao extract were identified using a metabolomics approach.The effects of PXR activators identified from in vitro studies were further investigated in PXR-and CYP3A4-humanized mouse models.Results:Gancao was verified to be a PXR-activating herb.Two major phytochemicals in Gancao,gly-cyrrhizin(GZ)and glycyrrhetinic acid(GA),did not activate PXR in the cell-based reporter assays.However,glabridin was shown to activate PXR in a dose-dependent manner.In vivo studies confirmed that GZ is not a PXR activator and glabridin is a weak PXR activator.Although GA did not active PXR in vitro,it induced CYP3A4 expression in a PXR-dependent manner in the PXR-and CYP3A4-humanized mice. | Anqi Cheng Saifei Lei Junjie Zhu Jie Lu Mary F.Paine Wen Xie Xiaochao Ma | 2022 | Liver Research2022,6,4: | 0 |
| 5 | A pan-coronavirus peptide inhibitor prevents SARS-CoV-2 infection in mice by intranasal delivery显示文摘Coronaviruses(Co Vs)have brought serious threats to humans,particularly severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-Co V-2),which continually evolves into multiple variants.These variants,especially Omicron,reportedly escape therapeutic antibodies and vaccines,indicating an urgent need for new antivirals with pan-SARS-Co V-2 inhibitory activity.We previously reported that a peptide fusion inhibitor,P3,targeting heptad repeated-1(HR1)of SARS-Co V-2 spike(S)protein,could inhibit viral infections.Here,we further designed multiple derivatives of the P3 based on structural analysis and found that one derivative,the P315V3,showed the most efficient antiviral activity against SARS-Co V-2 variants and several other sarbecoviruses,as well as other human-Co Vs(HCo Vs).P315V3 also exhibited effective prophylactic efficacy against the SARS-Co V-2 Delta and Omicron variants in mice via intranasal administration.These results suggest that P315V3,which is in PhaseⅡclinical trial,is promising for further development as a nasal pan-SARS-Co V-2 or pan-Co Vs inhibitor to prevent or treat CoV diseases. | Lili Wu Anqi Zheng Yangming Tang Yan Chai Jiantao Chen Lin Cheng Yu Hu Jing Qu Wenwen Lei William Jun Liu Guizhen Wu Shaogui Zeng Hang Yang Qihui Wang George Fu Gao | 2023 | Science China(Life Sciences)2023,66,10: | 0 |
| 6 | Rational Design of a Near-infrared Fluorescent Material with High Solid-state Efficiency,Aggregation-induced Emission and Live Cell Imaging Property显示文摘Near-infrared(NIR)fluorescent materials with high photoluminescent quantum yields(PLQYs)have wide application prospects.Therefore,we design and synthesize a D-A type NIR organic molecule,TPATHCNE,in which triphenylamine and thiophene are utilized as the donors and fumaronitrile is applied as the acceptor.We systematically investigate its molecular structure and photophysical property.TPATHCNE shows high T_(g) of 110℃ and T_(d) of 385℃ and displays an aggregation-induced emission(AIE)property.A narrow optical bandgap of 1.65 eV is obtained.The non-doped film of TPATHCNE exhibits a high PLQY of 40.3%with an emission peak at 732 nm,which is among the best values of NIR emitters.When TPATHCNE is applied in organic light-emitting diode(OLED),the electroluminescent peak is located at 716 nm with a maximum external quantum efficiency of 0.83%.With the potential in cell imaging,the polystyrene maleic anhydride(PMSA)modified TPATHCNE nanoparticles(NPs)emit strong fluorescence when labeling HeLa cancer cells,suggesting that TPATHCNE can be used as a fluorescent carrier for specific staining or drug delivery for cellular imaging.TPATHCNE NPs fabricated by bovine serum protein(BSA)are cultivated with mononuclear yeast cells,and the intense intracellular red fluorescence indicates that it can be adopted as a specific stain for imaging. | SHANG Anqi ZHAO Lele LI Zhenhua CHENG Zhuang JIN Haixu FENG Zijun CHEN Zhijun ZHANG Haiquan LU Ping | 2022 | Chemical Research in Chinese Universities2022,38,6: | 0 |
| 7 | Consistent apparent Young’s modulus of human embryonic stem cells and derived cell types stabilized by substrate stiffness regulation promotes lineage specificity maintenance显示文摘Background:Apparent Young’s modulus(AYM),which reflects the fundamental mechanical property of live cells measured by atomic force microscopy and is determined by substrate stiffness regulated cytoskeletal organization,has been investigated as potential indicators of cell fate in specific cell types.However,applying biophysical cues,such as modulating the substrate stiffness,to regulate AYM and thereby reflect and/or control stem cell lineage specificity for downstream applications,remains a primary challenge during in vitro stem cell expansion.Moreover,substrate stiffness could modulate cell heterogeneity in the single-cell stage and contribute to cell fate regulation,yet the indicative link between AYM and cell fate determination during in vitro dynamic cell expansion(from single-cell stage to multi-cell stage)has not been established.Results:Here,we show that the AYM of cells changed dynamically during passaging and proliferation on substrates with different stiffness.Moreover,the same change in substrate stiffness caused different patterns of AYM change in epithelial and mesenchymal cell types.Embryonic stem cells and their derived progenitor cells exhibited distinguishing AYM changes in response to different substrate stiffness that had significant effects on their maintenance of pluripotency and/or lineage-specific characteristics.On substrates that were too rigid or too soft,fluctuations in AYM occurred during cell passaging and proliferation that led to a loss in lineage specificity.On a substrate with‘optimal’stiffness(i.e.,3.5 kPa),the AYM was maintained at a constant level that was consistent with the parental cells during passaging and proliferation and led to preservation of lineage specificity.The effects of substrate stiffness on AYM and downstream cell fate were correlated with intracellular cytoskeletal organization and nuclear/cytoplasmic localization of YAP.Conclusions:In summary,this study suggests that optimal substrate stiffness regulated consistent AYM during passaging and proliferation reflects and contributes to hESCs and their derived progenitor cells lineage specificity maintenance,through the underlying mechanistic pathways of stiffness-induced cytoskeletal organization and the downstream YAP signaling.These findings highlighted the potential of AYM as an indicator to select suitable substrate stiffness for stem cell specificity maintenance during in vitro expansion for regenerative applications. | Anqi Guo Bingjie Wang Cheng Lyu Wenjing Li Yaozu Wu Lu Zhu Ran Bi Chenyu Huang Jiao Jiao Li Yanan Du | 2020 | Cell Regeneration2020,9,1: | 0 |

| 10 | Autophagy-related IncRNAs in tumor progression and drug resistance: A double-edged sword显示文摘The incidence and mortality rates of cancer are increasing every year worldwide but the survival rate of cancer patients is still unsatisfactory.Therefore,it is necessary to further elucidate the molecular mechanisms involved in tumor development and drug resis-tance to improve cancer cure or survival rates.In recent years,autophagy has become a hot topic in the field of oncology research,which plays a double-edged role in tumorigenesis,pro-gression,and drug resistance.Meanwhile,long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)has also been shown to regulate autophagy,and the two-sided nature of autophagy determines the dual regulatory role of autophagy-related IncRNAs(ARlncRNAs).Therefore,ARlncRNAs can be effective ther-apeutic targets for various cancers.Furthermore,the high abundance and stability of ARlncR-NAs in tumor tissues make them promising biomarkers.In this review,we summarized the roles and mechanisms of ARlncRNAs in tumor cell proliferation,apoptosis,migration,invasion,drug resistance,angiogenesis,radiation resistance,and immune regulation.In addition,we described the clinical significance of these ARlncRNAs,including as biomarkers/therapeutic targets and their association with clinical drugs. | Yunchao Zhang Jiayu Tang Cheng Wang Qinxiu Zhang Anqi Zeng Linjiang Song | 2024 | Genes & Diseases2024,11,1: | 0 |
