| 1 | CD147 antibody specifically and effectively inhibits infection and cytokine storm of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants delta,alpha,beta,and gamma显示文摘SARS-CoV-2 mutations contribute to increased viral transmissibility and immune escape,compromising the effectiveness of existing vaccines and neutralizing antibodies.An in-depth investigation on COVID-19 pathogenesis is urgently needed to develop a strategy against SARS-CoV-2 variants.Here,we identified CD147 as a universal receptor for SARS-CoV-2 and its variants.Meanwhile,Meplazeumab,a humanized anti-CD147 antibody,could block cellular entry of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants-alpha,beta,gamma,and delta,with inhibition rates of 68.7,75.7,52.1,52.1,and 62.3%at 60μg/ml,respectively.Furthermore,humanized CD147 transgenic mice were susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and its two variants,alpha and beta.When infected,these mice developed exudative alveolar pneumonia,featured by immune responses involving alveoli-infiltrated macrophages,neutrophils,and lymphocytes and activation of IL-17 signaling pathway.Mechanistically,we proposed that severe COVID-19-related cytokine storm is induced by a'spike protein-CD147-CyPA signaling axis':Infection of SARS-CoV-2 through CD147 initiated the JAK-STAT pathway,which further induced expression of cyclophilin A(CyPA);CyPA reciprocally bound to CD147 and triggered MAPK pathway.Consequently,the MAPK pathway regulated the expression of cytokines and chemokines,which promoted the development of cytokine storm.Importantly,Meplazumab could effectively inhibit viral entry and inflammation caused by SARS-CoV-2 and its variants.Therefore,our findings provided a new perspective for severe COVID-19-related pathogenesis.Furthermore,the validated universal receptor for SARS-CoV-2 and its variants can be targeted for COVID-19 treatment. | Jiejie Geng Liang Chen Yufeng Yuan Ke Wang Youchun Wang Chuan Qin Guizhen Wu Ruo Chen Zheng Zhang Ding Wei Peng Du Jun Zhang Peng Lin Kui Zhang Yongqiang Deng Ke Xu Jiangning Liu Xiuxuan Sun Ting Guo Xu Yang Jiao Wu Jianli Jiang Ling Li Kun Zhang Zhe Wang Jing Zhang Qingguo Yan Hua Zhu Zhaohui Zheng Jinlin Miao Xianghui Fu Fengfan Yang Xiaochun Chen Hao Tang Yang Zhang Ying Shi Yumeng Zhu Zhuo Pei Fei Huo Xue Liang Yatao Wang Qingyi Wang Wen Xie Yirong Li Mingyan Shi Huijie Bian Ping Zhu Zhi-Nan Chen | 2021 | Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy2021,6,10: | 6 |
| 2 | Development of small molecule extracellular signal-regulated kinases(ERKs) inhibitors for cancer therapy显示文摘The mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2(ERK1/2) signaling pathway is widely activated by a variety of extracellular stimuli, and its dysregulation is associated with the proliferation, invasion, and migration of cancer cells. ERK1/2 is located at the distal end of this pathway and rarely undergoes mutations, making it an attractive target for anticancer drug development. Currently, an increasing number of ERK1/2 inhibitors have been designed and synthesized for antitumor therapy, among which representative compounds have entered clinical trials. When ERK1/2 signal transduction is eliminated, ERK5 may provide a bypass route to rescue proliferation, and weaken the potency of ERK1/2 inhibitors. Therefore, drug research targeting ERK5 or based on the compensatory mechanism of ERK5 for ERK1/2 opens up a new way for oncotherapy. This review provides an overview of the physiological and biological functions of ERKs, focuses on the structure-activity relationships of small molecule inhibitors targeting ERKs, with a view to providing guidance for future drug design and optimization, and discusses the potential therapeutic strategies to overcome drug resistance. | Xiaoli Pan Junping Pei Aoxue Wang Wen Shuai Lu Feng Faqian Bu Yumeng Zhu Lan Zhang Guan Wang Liang Ouyang | 2022 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2022,12,5: | 4 |
| 3 | Flow-resistance analysis of nano-confined fluids inspired from liquid nano-lubrication:A review显示文摘How to reduce flow resistance of nano-confined fluids to achieve a high flux is a new challenge for modern chemical engineering applications, such as membrane separation and nanofluidic devices. Traditional models are inapplicable to explain the significant differences in the flow resistance of different liquid–solid systems.On the other hand, friction reduction in liquid nano-lubrication has received considerable attention during the past decades. Both fields are exposed to a common scientific issue regarding friction reduction during liquid–solid relative motion at nanoscale. A promising approach to control the flow resistance of nano-confined fluids is to reference the factors affecting liquid nano-lubrication. In this review, two concepts of the friction coefficient derived from fluid flow and tribology were discussed to reveal their intrinsic relations. Recent progress on low or ultra-low friction coefficients in liquid nano-lubrication was summarized based on two situations. Finally, a new strategy was introduced to study the friction coefficient based on analyzing the intermolecular interactions through an atomic force microscope(AFM), which is a cutting-point to build a new model to study flowresistance at nanoscale. | Xianzhu Huang Jian Wu Yudan Zhu Yumeng Zhang Xin Feng Xiaohua Lu | 2017 | Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering2017,25,11: | 3 |
| 4 | Physicochemical properties and structure of fluid at nano-/micro-interface:Progress in simulation and experimental study显示文摘In modern chemical engineering processes, the involvement of solid/fluid interface is the most important component of process intensification techniques, such as confined membrane separation and catalysis. In the review, we summarized the research progress of the latest theoretical and experimental works to elucidate the contribution of interface to the fluid properties and structures at nano-and micro-scale. We mainly focused on water, alcohol aqueous solution, and ionic liquids, because they are classical systems in interfacial science and/or widely involved in the industrialization process. Surface-induced fluids were observed in all reviewed systems and played a critical role in physicochemical properties and structures of outside fluid. It can even be regarded as a new interface, when the adsorption layer has a strong interaction with the solid surface. Finally, we proposed a perspective on scientific challenges in the modern chemical engineering processes and outlined future prospects. | Qingwei Gao Yumeng Zhang Shuting Xu Aatto Laaksonen Yudan Zhu Xiaoyan Ji Xiaohua Lu | 2020 | Green Energy & Environment2020,5,3: | 3 |
| 5 | Progress in molecular-simulation-based research on the effects of interface-induced fluid microstructures on flow resistance显示文摘In modern chemical engineering processes, solid interface involvement is the most important component of process intensification techniques, such as nanoporous membrane separation and heterogeneous catalysis. The fundamental mechanism underlying interfacial transport remains incompletely understood given the complexity of heterogeneous interfacial molecular interactions and the high nonideality of the fluid involved. Thus, understanding the effects of interface-induced fluid microstructures on flow resistance is the first step in further understanding interfacial transport. Molecular simulation has become an indispensable method for the investigation of fluid microstructure and flow resistance. Here, we reviewed the recent research progress of our group and the latest relevant works to elucidate the contribution of interface-induced fluid microstructures to flow resistance.We specifically focused on water, ionic aqueous solutions, and alcohol–water mixtures given the ubiquity of these fluid systems in modern chemical engineering processes. We discussed the effects of the interfaceinduced hydrogen bond networks of water molecules, the ionic hydration of ionic aqueous solutions, and the spatial distributions of alcohol and alcohol–water mixtures on flow resistance on the basis of the distinctive characteristics of different fluid systems. | Yumeng Zhang Yudan Zhu AnranWang Qingwei Gao Yao Qin Yaojia Chen Xiaohua Lu | 2019 | Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering2019,27,6: | 2 |
| 6 | Extra low friction coefficient caused by the formation of a solid-like layer:A new lubrication mechanism found through molecular simulation of the lubrication of MoS_2 nanoslits显示文摘Monolayer molybdenum disulfide(MoS2) is a novel two-dimensional material that exhibits potential application in lubrication technology. In this work, molecular dynamics was used to investigate the lubrication behaviour of different polar fluid molecules(i.e., water, methanol and decane) confined in monolayer Mo S2 nanoslits. The pore width effect(i.e., 1.2, 1.6 and 2.0 nm) was also evaluated. Results revealed that decane molecules exhibited good lubricating performance compared to the other two kinds of molecules. The friction coefficient followed the order of decane b methanol b water, and decreased evidently as the slit width increased, except for decane. Analysis of the spatial distribution and mobility of different confined fluid molecules showed that a solid-like layer was formed near the slit wall. This phenomenon led to the extra low friction coefficient of confined decane molecules. | Jiahui Li Yudan Zhu Yumeng Zhang Qingwei Gao Wei Zhu Xiaohua Lu Yijun Shi | 2018 | Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering2018,26,12: | 2 |

| 8 | Soil microbial communities as potential regulators of N2O sources in highly acidic soils显示文摘●Soil pH was a key driver of N2O emission and sources in acidic soils.●N2O emission was significantly positively associated with the ratio of ITS to 16S.●N2O was significantly correlated with bacterial and fungal community composition.●Fungi contributed to N2O in highly acidic tea plantations and vegetable fields.Acidic soil is a main source of global nitrous oxide(N2O)emissions.However,the mechanism behind the high N2O emissions from acidic soils remains a knowledge gap.The objective of this microcosm incubation study was to pin-point the microbial mechanisms involved in N2O production processes in acidic soils.For that purpose,the isotopic signatures and microbial community structure and composition of four soil samples were examined.The results showed that highly acid soils(pH=3.51)emitted 89 times more N2O than alkaline soils(pH=7.95)under the same nitrogen(N)inputs.Fungal denitrification caused high N2O emissions in acidic soils.ITS to 16S abundance ratio was positively correlated with cumulative N2O emissions from the tested soils.The highly acid soils(pH<4.5)showed greater fungal nirK gene abundance and lower abundance of AOA-amoA,AOB-amoA,nirK,nosZ I and nosZ II genes.The unclassified Aspergillaceae fungi(63.65%)dominated the highly acidic soils and was the most strongly correlated genus with N2O emissions.These findings highlight that soil microbial community structures,denitrifying fungi in particular,shaped by low pH(pH<4.5)lead to high N2O emissions from acidic soils. | Junhui Yin Huaihai Chen Pengpeng Duan Kun Zhu Naihui Li Yan Ma Yumeng Xu Jingheng Guo Rui Liu Qing Chen | 2023 | Soil Ecology Letters2023,5,4: | 1 |
| 9 | Anti-DLBCL efficacy of DCZ0825 in vitro and in vivo:involvement of the PI3K‒AKT‒mTOR/JNK pathway显示文摘Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL)is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma,characterized by high heterogeneity.The poor outcome of a portion of patients who suffer relapsing or resistant to conventional treatment impels the development of novel agents for DLBCL.DCZ0825 is a novel compound derived from pterostilbene and osalmide,whose antitumor activities have drawn our attention.In this study,we found that DCZ0825 exhibited high cytotoxicity toward DLBCL cell lines in a dose-and time-dependent manner,as revealed by cell counting kit-8 assay.Flow cytometry and western blot analysis results showed that DCZ0825 also promoted cell apoptosis via both extrinsic and intrinsic apoptosis pathways mediated by caspase.In addition,DCZ0825 induced cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase by downregulating Cdc25C,CDK1,and Cyclin B1,thus interfering with cell proliferation.Further investigation showed the involvement of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)‒AKT‒mTOR/JNK pathway in the efficacy of DCZ0825 against DLBCL.Remarkably,DCZ0825 also exerted notable cytotoxic effects in vivo as well,with low toxicity to important internal organs such as the liver and kidney.Our results suggest that DCZ0825 may have the potential to become a novel anti-DLBCL agent or to replenish the conventional therapeutic scheme of DLBCL. | Ke Hu Bo Li Ruye Ma Hongfei Yi Zhijian Xu Yu Peng Dandan Yu Huiqun Wu Taofang Cheng Yumeng Lu Yong Zhang Rong Wei Guang Yang Xiaosong Wu Weiliang Zhu Jumei Shi | 2021 | Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica2021,53,5: | 1 |

| 11 | Primary malignant tumours and malignant transformation of cysts in the retrorectal space:MRI diagnosis and treatment outcomes显示文摘Background:There are no clear guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of malignant retrorectal tumours.The purpose of this study was to increase preoperative diagnostic knowledge and to describe the outcomes of treatment for these patients.Methods:This retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent complete retrorectal tumour resection between May 2006 and July 2018,and had confirmed post-operative pathology reports.Demographic and clinical data(including imaging,perioperative,pathological,and prognostic data)were collected and analysed.Results:Malignant lesions were identified in 15(9[60%],female)patients.The median age of the patients was 59 years(range,34–72 years).Primary malignant tumours were identified in seven patients with solid tumours,in which gastrointestinal stromal tumours accounted for 71.4%(five of seven)and the remainder were chordoma or mucinous adenocarcinoma.Malignant transformation of cysts occurred in another eight patients with heterogeneous tumours,while histopathological features were present in 75%(six of eight)of patients with mucinous adenocarcinoma,and the remainder were squamouscell carcinoma or neuroendocrine tumour(Grade 2).The malignant characteristics of the solid portions observed using magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)were as follows:the cyst wall of the tumour was irregularly thickened;the surface was convex or lobed;the solid tumour had no capsule,or the capsule was destroyed;and the surface had a gyrus-like morphology.At a median follow-up time of 52 months(range,13–100 months),the overall recurrence-free survival rate was 40.0%and the survival rate was 46.7%.Conclusion:Some MRI features can be used to distinguish malignant retrorectal tumours from benign retrorectal tumours.The survival rate of patients with malignant retrorectal tumours is poor. | Jing Gong Yumeng Xu Yan Zhang Lichao Qiao Haixia Xu Ping Zhu Bolin Yang | 2022 | Gastroenterology Report2022,10,1: | 1 |
| 12 | In-depth understanding of ionic liquid assisted perovskite film formation mechanism for two-step perovskite photovoltaics显示文摘Ionic liquids(ILs)have been widely applied in the one-step fabrication of perovskite with noticeable enhancement in the device performance.However,in-depth mechanism of ionic-liquid-assisted perovskite film formation is not well understood for also important two-step perovskite fabrication method,with better control of crystallization behavior.In this work,we introduced ionic liquid methylammonium formate(MAFa)into organic salt to produce perovskite film via a two-step method.Systematic investigations on the influence of MAFa on the perovskite thin film formation mechanism were performed.Ionic liquid is shown to assist lowering the perovskite formation enthalpy upon the density functional theory(DFT)calculation,leading to an accelerated crystallization process evidenced by in-situ UV-Vis absorption measurement.A gradient up-down distribution of ionic liquid has been confirmed by timeof-flight SIMS.Importantly,besides the surface passivation,we found the HCOO-can diffuse into the perovskite crystals to fill up the halide vacancies,resulting in significant reduction of trap states.Uniform perovskite films with significantly larger grains and less defect density were prepared with the help of MAFa IL,and the corresponding device efficiency over 23%was obtained by two-step process with remarkably improved stability.This research work provides an efficient strategy to tune the morphology and opto-electronic properties of perovskite materials via ionic-liquid-assisted two-step fabrication method,which is beneficial for upscaling and application of perovskite photovoltaics. | Fei Wang Patrick Wai-Keung Fong Zhiwei Ren Hai-Lun Xia Kang Zhou Kai Wang Jiajie Zhu Xiaoxi Huang Xiao-Yuan Liu Hao Wang Yumeng Shi Haoran Lin Quanyao Zhu Gang Li Hanlin Hu | 2022 | Journal of Energy Chemistry2022,31,10: | 0 |
| 13 | Silicon-substituted rhodamines for stimulated emission depletion fluorescence nanoscopy显示文摘As an essential part in the toolbox of super-resolution microscopy,stimulated emission depletion(STED)nanoscopy has been widely explored in revealing the substructure and bioactivities in fluorescence imaging.Among the applied STED fluorophores,silicon-substituted rhodamines(SiRs)belong to one of the most extensively employed fluorophores.The carboxy-SiR was favored in STED bioimaging with many advantages,including reliable photostability,cell permeability,tunable fluorogenicity,feasible structural decoration and so on.We reviewed the research of carboxy-SiR in the STED nanoscopy and hopefully this can inspire more efforts in the design and application of STED fluorophores. | Ning Wang Yumeng Hao Xiaowei Feng Haidan Zhu Dazhi Zhang Ting Wang Xiaoyan Cui | 2022 | Chinese Chemical Letters2022,33,1: | 0 |
| 14 | LilrB3 is a putative cell surface receptor of APOE4显示文摘The three isoforms of apolipoprotein E(APOE2,APOE3,and APOE4)only differ in two amino acid positions but exert quite different immunomodulatory effects.The underlying mechanism of such APOE isoform dependence remains enigmatic.Here we demonstrate that APOE4,but not APOE2,specifically interacts with the leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B3(LilrB3).Two discrete immunoglobin-like domains of the LilrB3 extracellular domain(ECD)recognize a positively charged surface patch on the N-terminal domain(NTD)of APOE4.The atomic structure reveals how two APOE4 molecules specifically engage two LilrB3 molecules,bringing their intracellular signaling motifs into close proximity through formation of a hetero-tetrameric complex.Consistent with our biochemical and structural analyses,APOE4,but not APOE2,activates human microglia cells(HMC3)into a pro-inflammatory state in a LilrB3-dependent manner.Together,our study identifies LilrB3 as a putative immune cell surface receptor for APOE4,but not APOE2,and may have implications for understanding the biological functions as well as disease relevance of the APOE isoforms. | Jiayao Zhou Yumeng Wang Gaoxingyu Huang Min Yang Yumin Zhu Chen Jin Dan Jing Kai Ji Yigong Shi | 2023 | Cell Research2023,33,2: | 0 |
| 15 | The roles of computer-aided drug synthesis in drug development显示文摘With the improvements in computer computing ability,data accumulation and rapid algorithm development,the integration of artificial intelligence(AI)and drug synthesis has been accelerated,significantly improving the design and synthesis of drug molecules.Recently,data-driven computer-aided synthesis tools have been quickly and widely applied in retrosynthetic analysis,reaction prediction and automated synthesis,which can effectively accelerate the process of drug discovery and development and improve the quality of designed and synthesized drug molecules.Here,we review the development and applications of computer-aided synthesis technology and introduce recent advances in computer-aided drug development from three aspects:computer-aided drug design,computer-aided drug synthesis route design and computer-aided intelligent drug synthesis machines.Furthermore,the challenges and opportunities of computer-aided drug synthesis technology are discussed. | Pengfei Jia Junping Pei Guan Wang Xiaoli Pan Yumeng Zhu Yong Wu Liang Ouyang | 2022 | Green Synthesis and Catalysis2022,3,1: | 0 |
| 16 | Enhanced permeability and biofouling mitigation of forward osmosis membranes via grafting graphene quantum dots显示文摘In this paper,graphene oxide quantum dots with amino groups(NH_(2)-GOQDs)were tailored to the surface of a thin-film composite(TFC)membrane surface for optimizing forward osmosis(FO)membrane performance using the amide coupling reaction.The results jointly demonstrated hydrophilicity and surface roughness of the membrane enhanced after grafting NH_(2)-GOQDs,leading to the optimized affinity and the contact area between the membrane and water molecules.Therefore,grafting of the membrane with a concentration of 100 ppm(TFC-100)exhibited excellent permeability performance(58.32 L·m^(–2)·h^(–1))compared with TFC membrane(16.94 L·m^(–2)·h^(–1)).In the evaluation of static antibacterial properties of membranes,TFC-100 membrane destroyed the cell morphology of Escherichia coli(E.coli)and reduced the degree of bacterial adsorption.In the dynamic biofouling experiment,TFC-100 membrane showed a lower flux decline than TFC membrane.After the physical cleaning,the flux of TFC-100 membrane could recover to 96%of the initial flux,which was notably better than that of TFC membrane(63%).Additionally,the extended Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek analysis of the affinity between pollutants and membrane surface verified that NH_(2)-GOQDs alleviates E.coli contamination of membrane.This work highlights the potential applications of NH_(2)-GOQDs for optimizing permeability and biofouling mitigation of FO membranes. | Nan Li Yumeng Zhang Peng Li Bo Zhu Wei Wang Zhiwei Xu | 2023 | Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering2023,17,10: | 0 |
| 17 | Peroxymonosulfate activation by Fe-N-S co-doped tremella-like carbocatalyst for degradation of bisphenol A: Synergistic effect of pyridine N, Fe-Nx, thiophene S显示文摘Bisphenol A(BPA)has received increasing attention due to its long-term industrial application and persistence in environmental pollution.Iron-based carbon catalyst activation of peroxymonosulfate(PMS)shows a good prospect for effective elimination of recalcitrant contaminants in water.Herein,considering the problem about the leaching of iron ions and the optimization of heteroatoms doping,the iron,nitrogen and sulfur co-doped tremellalike carbon catalyst(Fe-NS@C)was rationally designed using very little iron,S-C_(3)N_(4) and low-cost chitosan(CS)via the impregnation-calcination method.The as-prepared Fe-NS@C exhibited excellent performance for complete removal of BPA(20 mg/L)by activating PMS with the high kinetic constant(1.492 min^(−1))in 15 min.Besides,the Fe-NS@C/PMS system not only possessed wide pH adaptation and high resistance to environmental interference,but also maintained an excellent degradation efficiency on different pollutants.Impressively,increased S-C_(3)N_(4) doping amount modulated the contents of different N species in Fe-NS@C,and the catalytic activity of Fe-NS@C-1-x was visibly enhanced with increasing SC_(3)N_(4) contents,verifying pyridine N and Fe-Nx as main active sites in the system.Meanwhile,thiophene sulfur(C-S-C)as active sites played an auxiliary role.Furthermore,quenching experiment,EPR analysis and electrochemical test proved that surface-bound radicals(·OH and SO_(4)^(·−))and non-radical pathways worked in the BPA degradation(the former played a dominant role).Finally,possible BPA degradation route were proposed.This work provided a promising way to synthesize the novel Fe,N and S co-doping carbon catalyst for degrading organic pollutants with low metal leaching and high catalytic ability. | Wenjin Chen Lele Lei Ke Zhu Dongdong He Hongmei He Xiulan Li Yumeng Wang Jin Huang Yushi Ai | 2023 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2023,,7: | 0 |
| 18 | An ethylene-induced NAC transcription factor acts as a multiple abiotic stress responsor in conifer显示文摘The proper response to various abiotic stresses is essential for plants’survival to overcome their sessile nature,especially for perennial trees with very long-life cycles.However,in conifers,the molecular mechanisms that coordinate multiple abiotic stress responses remain elusive.Here,the transcriptome response to various abiotic stresses like salt,cold,drought,heat shock and osmotic were systematically detected in Pinus tabuliformis(P.tabuliformis)seedlings.We found that four transcription factors were commonly induced by all tested stress treatments,while PtNAC3 and PtZFP30 were highly up-regulated and co-expressed.Unexpectedly,the exogenous hormone treatment assays and the content of the endogenous hormone indicates that the upregulation of PtNAC3 and PtZFP30 are mediated by ethylene.Time-course assay showed that the treatment by ethylene immediate precursor,1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid(ACC),activated the expression of PtNAC3 and PtZFP30 within 8 hours.We further confirm that the PtNAC3 can directly bind to the PtZFP30 promoter region and form a cascade.Overexpression of PtNAC3 enhanced unified abiotic stress tolerance without growth penalty in transgenic Arabidopsis and promoted reproductive success under abiotic stress by shortening the lifespan,suggesting it has great potential as a biological tool applied to plant breeding for abiotic stress tolerance.This study provides novel insights into the hub nodes of the abiotic stresses response network as well as the environmental adaptation mechanism in conifers,and provides a potential biofortification tool to enhance plant unified abiotic stress tolerance. | Fangxu Han Peiyi Wang Xi Chen Huanhuan Zhao Qianya Zhu Yitong Song Yumeng Nie Yue Li Meina Guo Shihui Niu | 2023 | Horticulture Research2023,10,8: | 0 |
| 19 | Apelin aggravates the migration and invasion of non-small cell lung cancer cells via YAP1显示文摘Background:Apelin,an endogenous ligand of G-protein coupled receptor(GPCR),is a secreted peptide involved in the development of various tumors.However,the relationship between apelin and non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)is not quite clear.This study was designed to investigate the effect and mechanism of apelin on cell proliferation,migration and invasion of NSCLC cells.Methods:Twelve NSCLC specimens were collected for hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and immunohistochemistry analyses.Cell proliferation was examined by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT)and cell migration and invasion were assessed using wound-healing and transwell assays.The subcellular location of yes associated protein 1(YAP1)in A549 cells was determined by immunofluorescence.The mRNA and protein levels in NSCLC tissues and cell lines were measured by qRT-PCR and western blot,respectively.Results:Apelin was upregulated in tumor tissues compared with the adjacent tissues.Apelin promoted proliferation,migration,and invasion of A549 and H460 cells,which was reversed by competitive apelin receptor(APJ)antagonist ML221.Additionally,apelin upregulated YAP1 expression,whereas silence of YAP1 by small interfering RNA(siRNA)attenuated apelin-induced cell proliferation,migration and invasion and suppressed epithelial-mesenchymal transition progression.Conclusion:Apelin promotes NSCLC cells proliferation,migration,and invasion by modulating YAP1 and might be a potential therapeutic target for NSCLC treatment. | Wenchao Ma Di Zhu Tong Yu Junwen Xue Xiang Sun Guofang Zhang Yumeng Hou Jinrui Li Yingzhun Chen Hongli Shan Haihai Liang | 2022 | Frigid Zone Medicine2022,2,1: | 0 |
| 20 | Ionic liquid engineering enabled in-plane orientated 1D perovskite nanorods for efficient mixed-dimensional perovskite photovoltaics显示文摘Mixed-dimensional engineering of perovskite material has been demonstrated as a facile and promising strategy to improve both photovoltaic performance and long-term stability of perovskite solar cells(PSCs).In this study,we report an in-plane preferred orientation of 1D perovskite induced by an ionic liquid(IL)of 1-(3-cyanopropyl)-3-methylimidazolium chloride(CPMIMCl)for the first time via sequential deposition approach,leading to a mixed dimensional perovskite thin films.The generated one-dimensional(1D)CPMIMPbI3 with in-plane orientation resides at the grain boundaries of three-dimensional(3D)perovskite can be appreciably observed from the morphology level,leading to creation of high-quality films with large grain size with more efficient defect passivation.Moreover,the dispersion of IL in the bulk phase of perovskite material allows for the formation of 1D perovskite for multiple level passivation to inhibit non-radiative recombination and optimize carrier transport.This IL engineering strategy not only yields a mixed-dimensional perovskite heterostructure with in-plane orientation 1D perovskite nano-rods but also significantly improves the opto-electronic property with suppressed trap states.As a result,the CPMIMCl-treated PSCs show an enhanced photovoltaic performance with a champion power conversion efficiency(PCE)up to 24.13%.More importantly,benefiting from the hydrophobicity of formed 1D perovskite and defects suppression,the corresponding PSC demonstrates an excellent longterm stability and maintain 97.1%of its pristine PCE at 25C under 50%RH condition over 1000 h.This research provides an innovative perspective for employing the low dimensional engineering to optimize the performance and stability of photovoltaic devices. | Fei Wang Dawei Duan Kang Zhou YZBXue Xiao Liang Xianfang Zhou Chuangye Ge Chao Zhou Jin Xiang Jiajie Zhu Quanyao Zhu Haoran Lin Yumeng Shi Yonghua Chen Gang Li Hanlin Hu | 2023 | InfoMat2023,5,8: | 0 |
