| 1 | EGFR signaling promotes nuclear translocation of plasma membrane protein TSPAN8 to enhance tumor progression via STAT3-mediated transcription显示文摘TSPAN family of protei ns are gen erally con sidered to assemble as multimeric complexes on the plasma membra ne.Our previous work uncovered that TSPAN8 can translocate into the nucleus as a membrane-free form,a process that requires TSPAN8 palmitoylation and association with cholesterol to promote its extraction from the plasma membrane and subsequent binding with 14-3-30 and importin-p.However,what upstream signal(S)regulate(s)the nuclear translocation of TSPAN8,the potential function of TSPAN8 in the n ucleus,and the un derlying molecular mechanisms all remai n unclear.Here,we dem on strate that,epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)signaling induces TSPAN8 nuclear translocation by activating the kinase AKTZ which in turn directly phosphorylates TSPAN8 at Ser129,an event essential for its binding with 14-3-30 and importin B1.In the nucleus,phosphorylated TSPAN8 interacts with STAT3 to enhance its chromatin occupancy and therefore regulates transcription of downstream cancer-promoting genes,such as MYC,BCL2,MMP9,etc.The EGFR-AKT-TSPAN8-STAT3 axis was found to be hyperactivated in multiple human cancers,and associated with aggressive phe no type and dismal prog nosis.We further developed a humanized mono clonal antibody hT8Ab4 that specifically recognizes the large extracellular loop of TSPAN8(TSPAN8-LEL),thus being able to block the extract!on of TSPAN8 from the plasma membrane and consequently its nuclear localization.Importantly,both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated an antitumor effect of hT8Ab4.Collectively,we discovered an unconventional function of TSPAN8 and dissected the underlying molecular mechanisms,which not only showcase a new layer of biological complexity of traditional membrane proteins,but also shed light on TSPAN8 as a novel therapeutic target for refractory cancers. | Xiaoqing Lu Liwei An Guangjian Fan Lijuan Zang Weiyi Huang Junjian Li Jun Liu Weiyu Ge Yuwei Huang Jingxuan Xu Shaoqian Du Tianhao Zhou Huijing Yin Li Yu Shi Jiao Hongxia Wang | 2022 | Cell Research2022，32，4： | 1 |
| 2 | Delivering quantum dots to lubricants: Current status and prospect显示文摘Very recently,two-dimensional quantum dots(2D QDs)have been pioneeringly investigated as lubricant additives,which exhibit superior friction-reducing and wear resistance.Compared with 2D nanoparticles,2D QDs possess small size(~10 nm)and abundant active groups.These distinguished advantages enable them to quickly disperse into common lube mediums and maintain long-term storage stability.The good dispersion stability of 2D QDs not only effectively improves their embedding capacity,but also enables continuous supplements of lubricants during the sliding process.Therefore,2D QDs are attracting increasing research interest as efficient lubricants with desirable service life.In this review,we focus on the latest studies of 2D QDs as liquid lubricant additives(both in polar and nonpolar mediums),self-lubricating solid coatings and gels,etc.Various advanced strategies for synthesis and modification of 2D QDs are summarized.A comprehensive insight into the tribological behavior of a variety of 2D QDs together with the associated mechanism is reviewed in detail.The superior lubricating performances of 2D QDs are attributed to various mechanisms,including rolling effect,self-mending performance,polishing effect,tribofilm formation,nanostructure transfer and synergistic effects,etc.Strategies for friction modulation of 2D QDs,including internal factors(surface modification,elemental doping)and extrinsic factors(counter surfaces,test conditions)are discussed,special attentions for achieving intelligent tribology toward superlubricity and bio-engineering,are also included.Finally,the future challenges and research directions regarding QDs as lubricants conforming to the concept of“green tribology”toward a sustainable society are discussed. | Wenling ZHANG Tianhao LI Rong AN Jiong WANG Yu TIAN | 2022 | Friction2022，10，11： | 0 |
| 3 | Comparing mineral weathering and elemental transport between earth's critical zone with different parent rocks in Yanshan Mountain,Hebei province,China显示文摘Bedrock weathering performs a significant influence on the evolution of Earth’s critical zone.Carbonate rock(dolostone),metamorphic rock(gneiss),and sedimentary rock(sandstone)geological formations in Yanshan Mountain,Hebei Province,are taken as objects to probe the controlling of geological formations on weathering characteristics,migration,and enrichment of elements as well as structure of Earth’s critical zone under the identical climate conditions through geological field survey,analysis on minerals component,element distribution in the weathering profile.The dolostone geological formation(DGF)is lithologically dominated by dolostone,characterized by the strongest and predominant chemical weathering.During bedrock weathering and pedogenesis,DGF is marked by significant depletion of CaO,Mg O,S,Mn,Mo and enrichment of N,K,Fe_(2)O_(3),and Zn with concentrations of P,Cu,and B keeping stable.Shortage of soil-forming materials and significant loss are driven by soil erosion,which results in thin regolith and soil.The soil thickness is less than 10 cm,and the regolith thickness is less than 30 cm.The vegetation community is predominantly rock arbor or brush,which is calcivorous and tolerant of barrenness.Plagiogneiss is a dominant rock type of gneiss geological formation(GGF),characterized by the weakest weathering and fast chemical and physical weathering rate.GGF is masked by significant depletion of P,K,CaO,MgO,Fe_(2)O_(3),Mn,Cu and enrichment of N,S,Mo,and B,with contents of Zn keeping stable.Both soil and regolith developed in GGF are relatively thick for one of the reasons that biotite expands during weathering.The soil thickness is more than 50 cm,and the regolith thickness ranges from 100 to 200 cm.The vegetation community is predominantly high-quality economic forests and various arbors because of the enrichment of nutrients in GGF.Sandstone is primarily a rock type of sandstone geological formation(SGF),characterized by moderate weathering degree and slow chemical weathering rate.SGF is marked by significant depletion of P,K,CaO,MgO,Fe_(2)O_(3),and enrichment of N,S,Mn,Cu,Zn,and Mo,with fluctuant changes of Zn and B.The thickness of soil developed in SGF varies between that of DGF and GGF.The soil thickness ranges from 30 to 50 cm,and the regolith thickness ranges from 50 to 100 cm.Chinese pines are widely spread on the shady slopes of SGF.Research provides theoretical support for screening dominant ecological resource areas,ecological industry development and ecological protection and restoration for Yanshan Mountain,Hebei Province. | Zijian Sun Zhen Liao Wei Shen Daqing Fu Xiaofeng Wei Huiqiong Zhang Ziran Chen Lianghui Xiong Tianhao An Hao Wei | 2022 | Acta Geochimica2022，41，6： | 0 |
