| 1 | Cardamonin from a medicinal herb protects against LPS-induced septic shock by suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome显示文摘Aberrant activation of NLRP3 inflammasome has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diverse inflammation-related diseases, and pharmacological molecules targeting NLRP3 inflammasome are of considerable value to identifying potential therapeutic interventions. Cardamonin(CDN), the major active ingredient of the traditional Chinese medicinal herb Alpinia katsumadai, has exerted an excellent anti-inflammatory activity, but the mechanism underlying this role is not fully understood. Here, we show that CDN blocks canonical and noncanonical NLRP3 inflammasome activation triggered by multiple stimuli. Moreover, the suppression of CDN on inflammasome activation is specific to NLRP3, not to NLRC4 or AIM2 inflammasome. Besides, the inhibitory effect is not dependent on the expression of NF-κB-mediated inflammasome precursor proteins. We also demonstrate that CDN suppresses the NLRP3 inflammasome through blocking ASC oligomerization and speckle formation in a dose-dependent manner.Importantly, CDN improves the survival of mice suffering from lethal septic shock and attenuates IL-1βproduction induced by LPS in vivo, which is shown to be NLRP3 dependent. In conclusion, our results identify CDN as a broad-spectrum and specific inhibitor of NLRP3 inflammasome and a candidate therapeutic drug for treating NLRP3 inflammasome-driven diseases. | Zhilei Wang Guang Xu Yuan Gao Xiaoyan Zhan Nan Qin Shubin Fu Ruisheng Li Ming Niu Jiabo Wang Youping Liu Xiaohe Xiao Zhaofang Bai | 2019 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2019，9，4： | 19 |
| 2 | High-performance silicon−graphene hybrid plasmonic waveguide photodetectors beyond 1.55μm显示文摘Graphene has attracted much attention for the realization of high-speed photodetection for silicon photonics over a wide wavelength range.However,the reported fast graphene photodetectors mainly operate in the 1.55μm wavelength band.In this work,we propose and realize high-performance waveguide photodetectors based on bolometric/photoconductive effects by introducing an ultrathin wide silicon−graphene hybrid plasmonic waveguide,which enables efficient light absorption in graphene at 1.55μm and beyond.When operating at 2μm,the present photodetector has a responsivity of ~70 mA/W and a setup-limited 3 dB bandwidth of >20 GHz.When operating at 1.55μm,the present photodetector also works very well with a broad 3 dB bandwidth of >40 GHz(setup-limited)and a high responsivity of ~0.4 A/W even with a low bias voltage of−0.3 V.This work paves the way for achieving highresponsivity and high-speed silicon-graphene waveguide photodetection in the near/mid-infrared ranges,which has applications in optical communications,nonlinear photonics,and on-chip sensing. | Jingshu Guo Jiang Li Chaoyue Liu Yanlong Yin Wenhui Wang Zhenhua Ni Zhilei Fu Hui Yu Yang Xu Yaocheng Shi Yungui Ma Shiming Gao Limin Tong Daoxin Dai | 2020 | Light(Science & Applications)2020，9，1： | 10 |
| 3 | Bavachin enhances NLRP3 inflammasome activation induced by ATP or nigericin and causes idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity显示文摘Psoraleae Fructus(PF)is a well-known traditional herbal medicine in China,and it is widely used for osteoporosis,vitiligo,and other diseases in clinical settings.However,liver injury caused by PF and its preparations has been frequently reported in recent years.Our previous studies have demonstrated that PF could cause idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury(IDILI),but the mechanism underlying its hepatotoxicity remains unclear.This paper reports that bavachin isolated from PF enhances the specific stimuli-induced activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and leads to hepatotoxicity.Bavachin boosts the secretion of IL-ip and caspase-1 caused by ATP or nigericin but not those induced by poly(I:C),monosodium urate crystal,or intracellular lipopolysaccharide.Bavachin does not affect AIM2 or NLRC4 inflammasome activation.Mechanistically,bavachin specifically increases the production of nigericin-induced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species among the most important upstream events in the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome.Bavachin increases the levels of aspartate transaminase and alanine aminotransferase in serum and hepatocyte injury accompanied by the secretion of IL-ip via a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide-mediated susceptibility to IDILI.These results suggest that bavachin specifically enhances the ATP-or nigericin-induced activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome.Bavachin also potentially contributes to PF-induced idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity.Moreover,bavachin and PF should be evaded among patients with diseases linked to the ATP-or nigericin-mediated activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome,which may be a dangerous factor for liver injury. | Nan Qin Guang Xu Yan Wang Xiaoyan Zhan Yuan Gao Zhilei Wang Shubin Fu Wei Shi Xiaorong Hou Chunyu Wang Ruisheng Li Yan Liu Jiabo Wang Haiping Zhao Xiaohe Xiao Zhaofang Bai | 2021 | Frontiers of Medicine2021，15，4： | 9 |
| 4 | PKinetics analysis of the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose from straw stalk显示文摘The effects of several parameters on the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of straw stalk for ethanol fuel production were investigated on the basis of orthogonal experiments. The parameters include temperature and time of fermentation, quantity and proportion of yeast inoculation, as well as cellulase dosage. An ethanol yield of 0.183 g/g was obtained from the straw stalk pretreated with diluted acid under determined optimum conditions. These conditions were: fermentation temperature: 38℃; fermentation time: 72 h; yeast inoculation quantity: 15%; yeast inoculation proportion: 2:1; and cellulose enzyme dosage: 20 U/g. The relationship between ethanol concentration c and fermentation time t is presented as follows, c=abt/(1+bt). The rate constant k of straw stalk hydrolysis by the cellulose enzyme depends on hydrolysis time, as described by k=k1t-h. Therefore, straw stalk hydrolysis reaction by the cellulose enzyme is fractal-like. | CHEN Kun XU Longjun BI Zhiming FU Zhilei | 2013 | Chinese Journal Of Geochemistry2013，32，1： | 1 |
| 5 | PsERF1B-PsMYB10.1-PsbHLH3 module enhances anthocyanin biosynthesis in the flesh-reddening of amber-fleshed plum (cv. Friar) fruit in response to cold storage显示文摘Flesh-reddening usually occurs in the amber-fleshed plum(Prunus salicina Lindl.)fruit during cold storage but not during ambient storage direct after harvest.It is not clear how postharvest cold signal is mediated to regulate the anthocyanin biosynthesis in the forming of flesh-reddening yet.In this study,anthocyanins dramatically accumulated and ethylene produced in the‘Friar’plums during cold storage,in comparison with plums directly stored at ambient temperature.Expression of genes associated with anthocyanin biosynthesis,as well as transcription factors of PsMYB10.1,PsbHLH3,and PsERF1B were strongly stimulated to upregulated in the plums in the period of cold storage.Suppression of ethylene act with 1-methylcyclopropene greatly suppressed flesh-reddening and downregulated the expression of these genes.Transient overexpression and virus-induced gene silencing assays in plum flesh indicated that PsMYB10.1 encodes a positive regulator of anthocyanin accumulation.The transient overexpression of PsERF1B,coupled with PsMYB10.1 and PsbHLH3,could further prompt the anthocyanin biosynthesis in a tobacco leaf system.Results from yeast two-hybrid and luciferase complementation assays verified that PsERF1B directly interacted with PsMYB10.1.PsERF1B and PsMYB10.1 enhanced the activity of the promoter of PsUFGT individually,and the enhancement was prompted by the co-action of PsERF1B and PsMYB10.1.Overall,the stimulation of the PsERF1B-PsMYB10.1-PsbHLH3 module mediated cold signal in the transcriptomic supervision of the anthocyanin biosynthesis in the‘Friar’plums.The results thereby revealed the underlying mechanism of the postharvest alteration of the flesh phenotype of‘Friar’plums subjected to low temperature. | Ranran Xu Yubei Wang Limin Wang Zhilei Zhao Jiankang Cao Daqi Fu Weibo Jiang | 2023 | Horticulture Research2023，10，6： | 0 |
