| 1 | Quantifying 3D cell-matrix interactions during mitosis and the effect of anticancer drugs on the interactions显示文摘The mechanical force between cells and the extracellular microenvironment is crucial to many physiological processes such as cancer metastasis and stem cell differentiation. Mitosis plays an essential role in all these processes and thus an in-depth understanding of forces during mitosis gains insight into disease diagnosis and disease treatment. Here, we develop a traction force microscope method based on monolayer fluorescent beads for measuring the weak traction force (tens of Pa) of mitotic cells in three dimensions. We quantify traction forces of human ovarian granulosa (KGN) cells exerted on the extracellular matrix throughout the entire cell cycle in three dimensions. Our measurements reveal how forces vary during the cell cycle, especially during cell division. Furthermore, we study the effect of paclitaxel (PTX) and nocodazole (NDZ) on mitotic KGN cells through the measurement of traction forces. Our results show that mitotic cells with high concentrations of PTX exert a larger force than those with high concentrations of NDZ, which proved to be caused by changes in the structure and number of microtubules. These findings reveal the key functions of microtubule in generating traction forces during cell mitosis and explain how dividing cells regulate themselves in response to anti-mitosis drugs. This work provides a powerful tool for investigating cell-matrix interactions during mitosis and may offer a potential way to new therapies for cancer. | Yongman Liu Jianye Wang Yong Su Xiaohai Xu Hong Liu Kainan Mei Shihai Lan Shubo Zhang Xiaoping Wu Yunxia Cao Qingchuan Zhang Shangquan Wu | 2021 | Nano Research2021,14,11: | 3 |
| 2 | Nanomechanical assay for ultrasensitive and rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 based on peptide nucleic acid显示文摘The massive global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic makes the development of more effective and easily popularized assays critical.Here,we developed an ultrasensitive nanomechanical method based on microcantilever array and peptide nucleic acid(PNA)for the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2(SARS-CoV-2)RNA.The method has an extremely low detection limit of 0.1 fM(105 copies/mL)for N-gene specific sequence(20 bp).Interestingly,it was further found that the detection limit of N gene(pharyngeal swab sample)was even lower,reaching 50 copies/mL.The large size of the N gene dramatically enhances the sensitivity of the nanomechanical sensor by up to three orders of magnitude.The detection limit of this amplification-free assay method is an order of magnitude lower than RT-PCR(500 copies/mL)that requires amplification.The non-specific signal in the assay is eliminated by the in-situ comparison of the array,reducing the false-positive misdiagnosis rate.The method is amplification-free and label-free,allowing for accurate diagnosis within 1 h.The strong specificity and ultrasensitivity allow single base mutations in viruses to be distinguished even at very low concentrations.Also,the method remains sensitive to fM magnitude lung cancer marker(miRNA-155).Therefore,this ultrasensitive,amplification-free and inexpensive assay is expected to be used for the early diagnosis of COVID-19 patients and to be extended as a broad detection tool. | Yu Wang Tianhao Yan Kainan Mei Depeng Rao Wenjie Wu Ye Chen Yongpei Peng Jianye Wang Shangquan Wu Qingchuan Zhang | 2023 | Nano Research2023,16,1: | 0 |
| 3 | Epidemiological and clinical features,treatment status,and economic burden of traumatic spinal cord injury in China:a hospital-based retrospective study显示文摘Traumatic spinal cord injury is potentially catastrophic and can lead to permanent disability or even death.China has the largest population of patients with traumatic spinal cord injury.Previous studies of traumatic spinal cord injury in China have mostly been regional in scope;national-level studies have been rare.To the best of our knowledge,no national-level study of treatment status and economic burden has been performed.This retrospective study aimed to examine the epidemiological and clinical features,treatment status,and economic burden of traumatic spinal cord injury in China at the national level.We included 13,465 traumatic spinal cord injury patients who were injured between January 2013 and December 2018 and treated in 30 hospitals in 11 provinces/municipalities representing all geographical divisions of China.Patient epidemiological and clinical features,treatment status,and total and daily costs were recorded.Trends in the percentage of traumatic spinal cord injuries among all hospitalized patients and among patients hospitalized in the orthopedic department and cost of care were assessed by annual percentage change using the Joinpoint Regression Program.The percentage of traumatic spinal cord injuries among all hospitalized patients and among patients hospitalized in the orthopedic department did not significantly change overall(annual percentage change,-0.5%and 2.1%,respectively).A total of 10,053(74.7%)patients underwent surgery.Only 2.8%of patients who underwent surgery did so within 24 hours of injury.A total of 2005(14.9%)patients were treated with high-dose(≥500 mg)methylprednisolone sodium succinate/methylprednisolone(MPSS/MP);615(4.6%)received it within 8 hours.The total cost for acute traumatic spinal cord injury decreased over the study period(-4.7%),while daily cost did not significantly change(1.0%increase).Our findings indicate that public health initiatives should aim at improving hospitals’ability to complete early surgery within 24 hours,which is associated with improved sensorimotor recovery,increasing the awareness rate of clinical guidelines related to high-dose MPSS/MP to reduce the use of the treatment with insufficient evidence. | Hengxing Zhou Yongfu Lou Lingxiao Chen Yi Kang Lu Liu Zhiwei Cai David BAnderson Wei Wang Chi Zhang Jinghua Wang Guangzhi Ning Yanzheng Gao Baorong He Wenyuan Ding Yisheng Wang Wei Mei Yueming Song Yue Zhou Maosheng Xia Huan Wang Jie Zhao Guoyong Yin Tao Zhang Feng Jing Rusen Zhu Bin Meng Li Duan Zhongmin Zhang Desheng Wu Zhengdong Cai Lin Huang Zhanhai Yin Kainan Li Shibao Lu Shiqing Feng | 2024 | Neural Regeneration Research2024,19,5: | 0 |
| 4 | Nanomechanical vibration profiling of oocytes显示文摘The beginning of a mammalian life commences with a fertilized oocyte.The study of oocytes is certainly one of the most intriguing scientific questions of our time.Herein,we studied oocytes from a mechanical perspective and characterized the typical life activities of oocytes by nanomechanical vibrations.During the development of oocytes from the germinal vesicle(GV)stage to the zygotes,the GV stage oocytes induced a significant nanomechanical vibration,compared with the oocytes in meiosis I(MI)and meiosis II(MII)stages and zygotes.We analyzed the characteristics of mechanical vibrations of oocytes,including the amplitude as well as the frequency.It showed that the amplitude and frequency of nanomechanical vibrations induced by oocytes were caused by the cytoskeleton(microfilaments)and the distribution of metabolic characteristics(mitochondria)within oocytes.This work provides a new perspective for clinical quality assessment and basic research of oocytes,and can open new doors for development of life science. | Yongpei Peng Junhui Zhang Weiwei Xue Wenjie Wu Yu Wang Kainan Mei Ye Chen Depeng Rao Tianhao Yan Jianye Wang Yunxia Cao Shangquan Wu Qingchuan Zhang | 2023 | Nano Research2023,16,2: | 0 |
| 5 | Nanomechanical sensor for rapid and ultrasensitive detection of tumor markers in serum using nanobody显示文摘Early cancer diagnosis requires ultrasensitive detection of tumor markers in blood.To this end,we develop a novel microcantilever immunosensor using nanobodies(Nbs)as receptors.As the smallest antibody(Ab)entity comprising an intact antigen-binding site,Nbs achieve dense receptor layers and short distances between antigen-binding regions and sensor surfaces,which significantly elevate the generation and transmission of surface stress.Owing to the inherent thiol group at the C-terminus,Nbs are covalently immobilized on microcantilever surfaces in directed orientation via one-step reaction,which further enhances the stress generation.For microcantilever-based nanomechanical sensor,these advantages dramatically increase the sensor sensitivity.Thus,Nb-functionalized microcantilevers can detect picomolar concentrations of tumor markers with three orders of magnitude higher sensitivity,when compared with conventional Ab-functionalized microcantilevers.This proof-of-concept study demonstrates an ultrasensitive,label-free,rapid,and low-cost method for tumor marker detection.Moreover,interestingly,we find Nb inactivation on sensor interfaces when using macromolecule blocking reagents.The adsorption-induced inactivation is presumably caused by the change of interfacial properties,due to binding site occlusion upon complex coimmobilization formations.Our findings are generalized to any coimmobilization methodology for Nbs and,thus,for the construction of high-performance immuno-surfaces. | Depeng Rao Kainan Mei Tianhao Yan Yu Wang Wenjie Wu Ye Chen Jianye Wang Qingchuan Zhang Shangquan Wu | 2022 | Nano Research2022,15,2: | 0 |
