| 1 | Effect of amitriptyline on gastrointestinal function and brain-gut peptides: A double-blind trial显示文摘AIM: To study the effects of low-dose amitriptyline (AMT) on gastrointestinal function and brain-gut peptides in healthy Chinese volunteers. METHODS: This was a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, two-period cross-over trial. Twentyeight healthy volunteers were randomised and administered 1-wk treatments of AMT (12.5 mg tid) or placebo. Before and during the final two days of treatment, gastric emptying, proximal gastric accommodation and visceral sensitivity were measured by drinkingultrasonography test; the orocecal transit time (OCTT) was measured by lactulose hydrogen breath test, and fasting blood was collected. Plasma levels of ghrelin, motilin and neuropeptide Y (NPY) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits.RESULTS: AMT slowed the OCTT (109.2 ± 29.68 min vs 96.61 ± 23.9 min, P = 0.004) but did not affect liquid gastric emptying and had no effect on proximal gastric accommodation. AMT resulted in decreases in the visual analogue scale (VAS) for difficulty in drinking 600 and 800 mL of water (3.57 ± 0.94 vs 2.98 ± 0.85, 5.57 ± 0.82 vs 4.57 ± 0.98, P < 0.01 for both), although it had no significant effect on the VAS for difficulty in drinking 200 mL and 400 mL of water. AMT significantly increased the plasma ghrelin level (442.87 ± 176.79 pg/mL vs 526.87 ± 158.44 pg/mL, P = 0.04) and the neuropeptide-Y level (890.15 ± 131.46 pg/mL vs 965.64 ± 165.63 pg/mL, P = 0.03), whereas it had no effect on the MTL level. CONCLUSION: Low-dose AMT could slow OCTT, make the stomach less sensitive and increase the plasma levels of ghrelin and NPY. Thus, we recommend the use of low-dose AMT for functional gastrointestinal disorders. | Wei Huang Shu-Man Jiang Lin Jia Le-Qing You Yao-Xing Huang Yan-Mei Gong Gui-Qin Wang | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，26： | 31 |
| 2 | Ganoderma Lucidum polysaccharide peptides protect kidney from renal ischemia reperfusion injury via counteracting oxidative stress显示文摘OBJECTIVE Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide peptides(GLPP)have an anti-oxidant activity.The oxidative stress implicates in the pathogenesis of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury(RIRI).The objective of this study was to determine whether GLPP could attenuate RIRI via counteracting the oxidative stress.METHODS Mice subjected to uninephrectomy with the right kidney ischemia for 35 min and reperfusion for 24 hwere used to explore the protective activity of GLPP against RIRI.In GLPP-treated group,100mg·kg-1·d-1 of GLPP were intraperitoneally injected for 7dbefore the procedure.In vitro,NRK-52 Ecells subjected to hypoxia-reoxygenation(H/R)and tunicamycin were used to explore the protective effect of GLPP against oxidative stress.The mechanisms in which GLPP protected kidney from RIRI were studied using a series of physiological and molecular biological methods.RESULTS Kidneys undergone ischemia-reperfusion showed renal dysfunction and characteristic morphological changes including cellular necrosis,brush border loss,cast formation,vacuolization and tubular dilatation while these damages were significantly attenuated by GLPP treatment.The abnormal levels of MPO,MDA and SOD caused by renal ischemia-reperfusion were significantly reversed by GLPP treatment.More apoptotic cells were found in the renal ischemia-reperfusion group than the sham group whereas GLPP reduced apoptotic cells in the ischemia-reperfusion mice by21.75%(P<0.01).The GLPPs(25-1μg·mL)alleviated H/R induced cell viability loss by 20.12%(P<0.01)andΔφm dissipation by 27.3%(P<0.01)in vitro as well and its pretreatment dramatically reduced H/R and tunicamycin induced cell injury.CONCLUSION Our study found that GLPP had a protective effect on RIRI via its anti-oxidative capacity,which suggests that GLPP may be developed as a candidate drug for preventing acute kidney injury. | Dan-danZHONG Hong-kaiWANG MingLIU Ying-liJIA MingHUANG HongZHOU Shu-qianLIN Zhi-binLIN Bao-xueYANG | 2015 | 中国药理学与毒理学杂志2015，29，S1： | 21 |
| 3 | Dual-targeting and microenvironment-responsive micelles as a gene delivery system to improve the sensitivity of glioma to radiotherapy显示文摘Dbait is a small double-stranded DNA molecule that has been utilized as a radiosensitizer to enhance the sensitivity of glioma to radiotherapy(RT). However, there is no effective drug delivery system to effectively overcome the blood–brain barrier(BBB). The aim of this study was to develop a gene delivery system by using the BBB and glioma dual-targeting and microenvironment-responsive micelles(ch-Kn(s-s)R8-An) to deliver Dbait into glioma for RT. Angiopep-2 can target the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1(LRP1) that is overexpressed on brain capillary endothelial cells(BCECs) and glioma cells. In particular, due to upregulated matrix metalloproteinase 2(MMP-2) in the tumor microenvironment, we utilized MMP-2-responsive peptides as the enzymatically degradable linkers to conjugate angiopep-2. The results showed that ch-Kn(s-s)R8-An micelles maintained a reasonable size(80–160 nm) with a moderate distribution and a decreased mean diameter from the cross-linking as well as exhibited low critical micelle concentration(CMC) with positive surface charge, ranging from 15 to40 mV. The ch-K5(s-s)R8-An/pEGFP showed high gene transfection efficiency in vitro, improved uptake in glioma cells and good biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo. In addition, the combination of ch-K5(s-s)R8-An/Dbait with RT significantly inhibited the growth of U251 cells in vitro. Thus, ch-K5(s-s)R8-An/Dbait may prove to be a promising gene delivery system to target glioma and enhance the efficacy of RT on U251 cells. | Xiuxiu Jiao Yuan Yu Jianxia Meng Mei He Charles Jian Zhang Wenqian Geng Baoyue Ding Zhuo Wang Xueying Ding | 2019 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2019，9，2： | 13 |

| 5 | Physiology of natriuretic peptides: The volume overload hypothesis revisited显示文摘The discovery of the natriuretic peptide system in the early 1980s aroused great interest among clinical cardiologists. The heart was not a mechanical pump alone, but also an endocrine organ that had powerful effects on blood circulation. Natriuretic peptides caused both natriuresis and diuresis, and they responded to a volume overload which caused either stretch or pressure on the heart. As a result, the findings led to the conclusion that the human body had a hormone with effects similar to those of a drug which treats high blood pressure. Later, it became evident that the volume contraction was fortified by extrarenal plasma shift. Here, a hypothesis is presented in which the role of natriuretic peptides is to regulate oxygen transport as the volume contraction leads to hemoconcentration with an increased oxygen-carrying capacity. Wall stress, either chemical or mechanical, changes the oxygen gradient of the myocardium and affects the diffusion of oxygen within a myocyte. In support of this hypothesis, hypoxia-response elements have been found in both the atrial natriuretic peptide and the brain natriuretic peptide genes. | Olli Arjamaa | 2014 | World Journal of Cardiology2014，6，1： | 8 |
| 6 | The wound healing potential of collagen peptides derived from the jellyfish Rhopilema esculentum显示文摘Purpose: Wound represents a major health challenge as they consume a large amount of healthcare resources to improve patient's quality of life. Many scientific studies have been conducted in search of ideal biomaterials with wound-healing activity for clinical use and collagen has been proven to be a suitable can didate biomaterial. This study in tended to investigate the wound healing activity of collagen peptides derived from jellyfish following oral administration. Methods: In this study, collagen was extracted from the jellyfish-Rhopilema esculentum using 1% pepsin. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) were used to identify and determine the molecular weight of the jellyfish collagen. Collagenase II, papain and alkaline proteinase were used to breakdown jellyfish collagen into collagen peptides. Wound scratch assay (in vitro) was done to determine migration potential of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) covering the artificial wound created on the cell monolayer following treatment with collagen peptides. In vivo studies were con ducted to determine the effects of collagen peptides on wound healing by examining wound contraction, re-epithelialization, tissue regeneration and collagen deposition on the wounded skin of mice. Confidence level (p < 0.05) was considered significant using GraphPad Prism software. Results: The yield of collagen was 4.31%. The SDS-PAGE and FTIR showed that extracted collagen from jellyfish was type I. Enzymatic hydrolysis of this collagen using collagenase II produced collagen peptides (CPi) and hydrolysis with alkaline proteinase/papain resulted into collagen peptides (CP2). Tricine SDSPAGE revealed that collagen peptides consisted of protein fragments with molecular weight <25 kDa. Wound scratch assay showed that there were significant effects on the scratch closure on cells treated with collagen peptides at a concentration of 6.25 μg/mL for 48 h as compared to the vehicle treated cells. Overall treatment with collagen peptide on mice with full thickness excised wounds had a positive result in wound contraction as compared with the control. Histological assessment of peptides treated mice models showed remarkable sign of re-epithelialization, tissue regeneration and increased collagen deposition. Immunohistochemistry of the skin sections showed a significant increase in β-fibroblast growth factor (β-FGF) and the transforming growth factor-βi (TGF-βi) expression on collagen peptides treated group. Conclusion: Collagen peptides derived from the jellyfish-Rhopilema esculentum can accelerate the wound healing process thus could be a therapeutic potential product that may be beneficial in wound clinics in the future. | Fatuma Felix Felician Rui-He Yu Meng-Zhen Li Chun-Jie Li Hui-Qin Chen Ying Jiang Tao Tang Wei-Yan Qi Han-Mei Xu | 2019 | Chinese Journal of Traumatology2019，22，1： | 7 |
| 7 | Development of composite PLGA microspheres containing exenatide-encapsulated lecithin nanoparticles for sustained drug release显示文摘This study aimed to prepare poly(D, L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) microspheres(PLGA-Ms)by a modified solid-in-oil-in-water(S/O/W) multi-emulsion technique in order to achieve sustained release with reduced initial burst and maintain efficient drug concentration for a prolonged period of time. Composite PLGA microspheres containing exenatideencapsulated lecithin nanoparticles(Ex-NPs-PLGA-Ms) were obtained by initial fabrication of exenatide-loaded lecithin nanoparticles(Ex-NPs) via the alcohol injection method,followed by encapsulation of Ex-NPs into PLGA microspheres. Compared to Ms prepared by the conventional water-in-oil-in-water(W/O/W) technique(Ex-PLGA-Ms), Ex-NPs-PLGAMs showed a more uniform particle size distribution, reduced initial burst release, and sustained release for over 60 d in vitro. Cytotoxicity studies showed that Ms prepared by both techniques had superior biocompatibility without causing any detectable cytotoxicity.In pharmacokinetic studies, the effective drug concentration was maintained for over 30 d following a single subcutaneous injection of two types of Ms formulation in rats, potentially prolonging the therapeutic action of Ex. In addition, administration of Ex-NPs-PLGA-Ms resulted in a more smooth plasma concentration-time profile with a higher area under the curve(AUC) compared to that of Ex-PLGA-Ms. Overall, Ex-NPs-PLGA-Ms prepared by the novel S/O/W method could be a promising sustained drug release system with reduced initial burst release and prolonged therapeutic efficacy. | Ni Dong Chune Zhu Junhuang Jiang Di Huang Xing Li Guilan Quan Yang Liu Wen Tan Xin Pan Chuanbin Wu | 2020 | Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences2020，15，3： | 7 |
| 8 | Mass spectrometry-based serum peptide profiling in hepatocellular carcinoma with bone metastasis显示文摘AIM:To investigate the potential of serum peptides as a diagnostic tool for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)with bone metastasis.METHODS:Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS)was used to characterize the serum peptide profile of HCC patients with bone metastasis.Serum samples from 138 HCC patients(66 cases with and 72 cases without bone metastasis)were randomly assigned into a training set(n=76)and a test set(n=62).Differential serum peptides were examined using ClinProt magnetic bead-based purification followed by MALDITOF-MS.The sequences of differentially expressed serum peptides were identified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.A diagnostic model was established using a learning algorithm of radial basis function neural network verified by a single blind trial.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic power of the established model.RESULTS:Ten peptide peaks were significantly different between HCC patients with or without bone metastasis(P<0.001).Sequences of seven peptides with mass to charge ratios(m/z)of 1780.7,1866.5,2131.6,2880.4,1532.4,2489.8,and 2234.3 were successfully identified.These seven peptides were derived from alpha-fetoprotein,prothrombin,serglycin,isoform2 of inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H4,isoform 1 of autophagy-related protein 16-2,and transthyretin and fibrinogen beta chains,respectively.The recognition rate and predictive power of a diagnostic model established on the basis of six significant peptides(m/z for these six peptides were 1535.4,1780.7,1866.5,2131.6,2880.4,and 2901.9)were 89.47%and82.89%,respectively.The sensitivity and specificity of this model based upon a single blind trial were 85.29%and 85.71%,respectively.ROC analysis found that the AUC(area under the ROC curve)value was 0.911.CONCLUSION:Our study suggested that serum peptides may serve as a diagnosis tool for HCC bone metastasis. | Jian He Zhao-Chong Zeng Zuo-Lin Xiang Ping Yang | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，11： | 6 |
| 9 | Use of a combination strategy to improve neuroprotection and neuroregeneration in a rat model of acute spinal cord injury显示文摘Spinal cord injury is a very common pathological event that has devastating functional consequences in patients. In recent years, several research groups are trying to find an effective therapy that could be applied in clinical practice. In this study, we analyzed the combination of different strategies as a potential therapy for spinal cord injury. Immunization with neural derived peptides(INDP), inhibition of glial scar formation(dipyridyl: DPY), as well as the use of biocompatible matrix(fibrin glue: FG) impregnated with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) were combined and then its beneficial effects were evaluated in the induction of neuroprotection and neuroregeneration after acute SCI. Sprague-Dawley female rats were subjected to a moderate spinal cord injury and then randomly allocated into five groups: 1) phosphate buffered saline; 2) DPY; 3) INDP + DPY; 4) DPY+ FG; 5) INDP + DPY + FG + MSCs. In all rats, intervention was performed 72 hours after spinal cord injury. Locomotor and sensibility recovery was assessed in all rats. At 60 days after treatment, histological examinations of the spinal cord(hematoxylin-eosin and Bielschowsky staining) were performed. Our results showed that the combination therapy(DPY+ INDP + FG+ MSCs) was the best strategy to promote motor and sensibility recovery. In addition, significant increases in tissue preservation and axonal density were observed in the combination therapy group. Findings from this study suggest that the combination theapy(DPY+ INDP + FG + MSCs) exhibits potential effects on the protection and regeneration of neural tissue after acute spinal cord injury. All procedures were approved by the Animal Bioethics and Welfare Committee(approval No. 178544; CSNBTBIBAJ 090812960)on August 15, 2016. | Elisa García Roxana Rodríguez-Barrera Vinnitsa Buzoianu-Anguiano Adrian Flores-Romero Emanuel Malagón-Axotla Marco Guerrero-Godinez Estefanía De la Cruz-Castillo Laura Castillo-Carvajal Monserrat Rivas-Gonzalez Paola Santiago-Tovar Ivis Morales Cesar Borlongan Antonio Ibarra | 2019 | Neural Regeneration Research2019，14，6： | 6 |
| 10 | Multifunctional oral delivery systems for enhanced bioavailability of therapeutic peptides/proteins显示文摘In last few years, therapeutic peptides/proteins are rapidly growing in drug market considering their higher efficiency and lower toxicity than chemical drugs. However, the administration of therapeutic peptides/proteins is mainly limited in parenteral approach. Oral therapy which was hampered by harsh gastrointestinal environment and poorly penetrating epithelial barriers often results in low bioavailability(less than 1%–2%). Therefore, delivery systems that are rationally designed to overcome these challenges in gastrointestinal tract and ameliorate the oral bioavailability of therapeutic peptides/proteins are seriously promising. In this review, we summarized various multifunctional delivery systems, including lipid-based particles, polysaccharide-based particles, inorganic particles, and synthetic multifunctional particles that achieved effective oral delivery of therapeutic peptides/proteins. | Ying Han Zhonggao Gao Liqing Chen Lin Kang Wei Huang Mingji Jin Qiming Wang You Han Bae | 2019 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2019，9，5： | 5 |
| 11 | Effect of Helicobacter pylori eradication on serum ghrelin and obestatin levels显示文摘AIM: To investigate changes in serum ghrelin and obestatin levels before and after Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori ) eradication. METHODS: A total of 92 patients presenting with symptoms of dyspepsia were enrolled in the study. Upper endoscopy was performed on all patients and used to diagnose H. pylori infection according to the presence of characteristic histopathological findings; seventy patients were diagnosed with H. pylori infection and the remaining 22 non-infected patients were classified as healthy controls. H. pylori eradication was accomplished by administering the classical triple therapy drug regimen, consisting of lansoprazole 30 mg bid , amoxicillin 1 g bid , and clarithromycin 500 mg tid for 14 d. The eradication of H. pylori was assessed with C14-urea breath test, which was performed at eight weeks after treatment. Levels of serum active ghrelin and obestatin were assessed at beginning of the study (prior to treatment) and after eight weeks. The levels were comparatively analyzed between the H. pylori negative control group, the H. pylori eradicated group, and the H. pylori non-eradicated group. RESULTS: A total of 92 patients, 50 females and 42 males with a mean age of 38.2 ± 11.9 years (range: 19-64), were analyzed. H. pylori eradication success was achieved in 74.3% (52/70) of H. pylori positive patients. The initial levels of ghrelin in the H. pylori positive and control cases were 63.6 ± 19.8 pg/mL and 65.1 ± 19.2 pg/mL (P=0.78), respectively, and initial obestatin levels were 771±427 pg/mL and 830 ± 296 pg/mL (P=0.19), respectively. The difference between the initial levels and the week 8 levels of ghrelin and obestatin in the control group was insignificant [4.5% (P=0.30) and -0.9% (P=0.65), respectively]. The difference between the initial and week 8 levels of ghrelin and obestatin in the H. pylori non-eradicated group were also insignificant [0.9% (P=0.64) and 5.3% (P=0.32), respectively]. The H. pylori eradicated group had a greater change in obestatin levels when compared to the control and the non-eradicated groups (148 ± 381 pg/mL vs -12±138 pg/mL and -72.8±203 pg/mL, respectively, P=0.015), while decreases in ghrelin levels were insignificant (-7.2 pg/mL vs -1.4 pg/mL and -1.9 pg/mL, respectively, P=0.52). The ghrelin/obestatin ratio for the initial and week 8 levels changed significantly in only the H. pylori eradicated group (0.11 vs 0.08, respectively, P=0.015). For overweight patients (as designated by body mass index), we observed significant increases in obestatin levels in the eradicated group as compared to non-eradicated group (201 ± 458 pg/mL vs -5 ± 81 pg/mL, respectively, P=0.02). In the H. pylori-eradicated group, the levels did not differ between the sexes for ghrelin (-6.3 ± 26.9 pg/mL vs -8.0 ± 24.0 pg/mL, respectively, P=0.97) or obestatin (210 ± 390 pg/mL vs 96 ± 372 pg/mL, respectively, P=0.23).CONCLUSION: Serum levels of ghrelin decreased while obestatin levels increased in H. pylori eradicated subjects, especially in overweight and male patients. | Celal Ulasoglu Banu Isbilen Levent Doganay Filiz Ozen Safak Kiziltas Ilyas Tuncer | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，15： | 5 |
| 12 | Endophytes as Producers of Peptides:An Overview About the Recently Discovered Peptides from Endophytic Microbes显示文摘An endophyte is a fungus or bacterium that lives within a plant in a symbiotic relationship.Extensive colonization of the plant tissue by endophytes creates a barrier effect,where they outcompete and prevent pathogenic organisms from taking hold.This happens by producing secondary metabolites that inhibit the growth of the competitors or pathogens.In this way they play a very important role in the plant defence mechanisms.The metabolites produced by these endophytes fall within a wide range of classes of compounds that include peptides which are the focus of this review.Peptides are increasingly being selected for drug development because they are specific for their targets and have a higher degree of interactions.There have been quite a number of endophytic peptides reported in the recent past indicating that endophytes can be used for the production of peptide based drugs.Molecular screening for NRPS,which shows peptide producing capability,has also shown that endophytes are potential producers of peptides.The presence of NRPS also offers the possibility of genetic modifications which may generate peptides with high pharmacological activities.This review,therefore,aims to show the current status of peptides isolated from endophytic bacteria and fungi in the recent decade.Endophytes as potential sources of peptides according to NRPS studies will also be discussed. | Muna Ali Abdalla Josphat C.Matasyoh | 2014 | Natural Products and Bioprospecting2014，4，5： | 5 |
| 13 | Analysis of the binding sites with NL-101 to amino acids and peptides by HPLC/MS/MS显示文摘The binding between NL-101, a novel nitrogen mustard anti-cancer drug, with amino acids and peptides has been investigated by high performance liquid chromatography electrospray tandem mass spectrometry(HPLC/ESI-MS/MS). This study offers supporting data of the interaction among drug and amino acids and peptides, which could potentially explain the cytotoxic and mutagenic effects of the drug. Collision-induced dissociation(CID) experiment demonstrated that under the same collision energy, the amino group combined with NL-101 adducts are sensitive and often produce more fragment ions; the carboxyl group combined with NL-101 adducts are hard to break and display fewer fragment ions. In addition, when other group(like sulfhydryl group) of amino acids binds to NL-101, CID spectra show different fragmentation pattern. These differences could display structural information about the drug adducts and be utilized as location of the authentic binding sites. | Lingzi Dai Nian Guo Yaqin Liu Shanshan Shen Qiufu Ge Yuanjiang Pan | 2019 | Chinese Chemical Letters2019，30，1： | 4 |
| 14 | Bioactive peptides: A review显示文摘Bioactive peptides(BP)are organic substances formed by amino acids joined by covalent bonds known as amide or peptide bonds.Although some BP exist free in its natural source,the vast majority of known BP are encrypted in the structure of the parent proteins and are released mainly by enzymatic processes.Some BP have been prepared by chemical synthesis.BP play a significant role in human health by affecting the digestive,endocrine,cardiovascular,immune,and nervous systems.BP are considered the new generation of biologically active regulators;they can prevent oxidation and microbial degradation in foods and also improve the treatment of various diseases and disorders,thus increasing the quality of life.The growing interest in BP has incentivized the scientific community and the food industry to exploring the development of new food additives and functional products based on these peptides.The present review highlights the recent findings on the identification,bioassays,and use of BP,as well as their potential use as food additives and in the development of functional products. | Adrián Sánchez Alfredo Vázquez | 2017 | Food Quality and Safety2017，1，1： | 3 |
| 15 | Rational Design of Hybrid Peptides: A Novel Drug Design Approach显示文摘Peptides play crucial roles in various physiological and pathological processes. Consequently, the investigation of peptide-based drugs is a highlight in the research and development of new drugs. However, natural peptides are not always ideal choices for clinical application due to their limited number and sometimes cytotoxicity to normal cells. Aiming to gain stronger or specific or novel biological effects and overcome the disadvantages of natural peptides, artificial hybrid peptides have been designed by combining the sequence of two or more different peptides with varied biological functions. Compared to natural peptides, hybrid peptides have shown better therapeutic potentials against bacteria, tumors, and metabolic diseases. In this review, design strategies, structure features and recent development of hybrid peptides are summarized;future directions for the research and development of hybrid peptide drugs are also discussed. | Chao WANG Chen YANG Yu-chen CHEN Liang MA Kun HUANG | 2019 | Current Medical Science2019，39，3： | 3 |
| 16 | Identification and characterization of two novel cathelicidins from the frog Odorrana livida显示文摘Antimicrobial peptides(AMPs) are a group of gene-encoded small peptides that play pivotal roles in the host immune system of multicellular organisms.Cathelicidins are an important family of AMPs that exclusively exist in vertebrates. Many cathelicidins have been identified from mammals, birds, reptiles and fish. To date, however, cathelicidins from amphibians are poorly understood. In the present study, two novel cathelicidins(OL-CATH1 and 2) were identified and studied from the odorous frog Odorrana livida.Firstly, the cDNAs encoding the OL-CATHs(780 and735 bp in length, respectively) were successfully cloned from a lung cDNA library constructed for the frog. Multi-sequence alignment was carried out to analyze differences between the precursors of the OL-CATHs and other representative cathelicidins.Mature peptide sequences of OL-CATH1 and 2 were predicted(33 amino acid residues) and their secondary structures were determined(OL-CATH1 showed a random-coil conformation and OL-CATH2 demonstrated α-helical conformation). Furthermore,OL-CATH1 and 2 were chemically synthesized and their in vitro functions were determined. Antimicrobial and bacterial killing kinetic analyses indicated that OL-CATH2 demonstrated relatively moderate and rapid antimicrobial potency and exhibited strong anti-inflammatory activity. At very low concentrations(10 μg/mL), OL-CATH2 significantly inhibited the lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced transcription and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1βand IL-6 in mouse peritoneal macrophages. In contrast, OL-CATH1 did not exhibit any detectableantimicrobial or anti-inflammatory activities. Overall,identification of these OL-CATHs from O. livida enriches our understanding of the functions of cathelicidins in the amphibian immune system. The potent antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities of OL-CATH2 highlight its potential as a novel candidate in anti-infective drug development. | Ruo-Han Qi Yan Chen Zhi-Lai Guo Fen Zhang Zheng Fang Kai Huang Hai-Ning Yu Yi-Peng Wang | 2019 | Zoological Research2019，40，2： | 3 |
| 17 | Lack of new antiinfective agents: Passing into the pre-antibiotic age?显示文摘The lack of newly developed antibiotics, together with the increase in multi-resistance of relevant pathogenic bacteria in the last decades, represents an alarming signal for human health care worldwide. The number of severely infected persons increases not only in developing but also in highly industrialized countries. This relates in first line to the most severe form of a bacterial infection, sepsis and the septic shock syndrome, with high mortality on critical care units. No particular anti-sepsis drug is available, and the therapy with conventional antibiotics more and more fails to provide a survival benefit. Due to the fact that the pharmaceutical industry has withdrawn to a high degree from the development of anti-infectious agents, a huge challenge for health care is approaching in the 21 st century. In this article, these problems are outlined and possible alternatives are presented which may be helpful to solve the problem. | Klaus Brandenburg Tobias Schürholz | 2015 | World Journal of Biological Chemistry2015，6，3： | 2 |

| 19 | Design of Polymers for Intracellular Protein and Peptide Delivery显示文摘Cytosolic protein delivery techniques are of great importance for cell biology,biotechnology and protein drug development.The design of carriers with robust efficiency in cytosolic protein delivery is challenging.This account provides a progress report of polymeric carriers for this purpose in our group.During the past years,we have developed several types of functionalized polymers for cytosolic protein and peptide delivery by engineering polymers with ligands such as guanidinium,boronate,coordination ligands and fluoroalkyls.The designed polymers showed improved protein/peptide binding affinities,and successfully delivered various cargo proteins into the cytosol of living cells,while maintaining their bioactivity.In addition,the polymers showed potent efficiencies in the delivery of tumor antigens,therapeutic peptides,toxins and antioxidant proteins in vivo.We hope these polymers could be translated for protein delivery in the treatment of various diseases in the future. | Yiyun Cheng | 2021 | Chinese Journal of Chemistry2021，39，6： | 2 |
| 20 | Effects of linker amino acids on the potency and selectivity of dimeric antimicrobial peptides显示文摘Dimerization is an effective strategy for designing antimicrobial peptides that combine the advantages of different native peptides. In this study, we explored the effects of different linker amino acids, including leucine, proline and aminocaproic acid, on the anticancer, antimicrobial and hemolytic activities of the heteromeric antimicrobial peptides AM-1, AM-2, and AM-3. Proline and aminocaproic acid are ideal linkers for increasing the potency and selectivity of heteromeric antimicrobial peptides. The results of MD simulations provided a rationalization for this observation. Both AM-2, which had a proline linker,and AM-3, which had an aminocaproic acid linker, adopted a compact conformation in water and a bent conformation in membranes. This change in the flexible structures of AM-2 and AM-3 could have resulted in decreased binding of these peptides to zwitterionic lipid bilayers and increased damage to mixed lipid bilayers containing acidic phospholipids. In short, these findings obtained via assessing the effects of linker amino acids will contribute to the design of ideal heteromeric antimicrobial peptides with high selectivity and potency. | Ming Kai Wei Zhang Huan Xie Liwei Liu Sujie Huang Xiao Li Zhengzheng Zhang Yuyang Liu Bangzhi Zhang Jingjing Song Rui Wang | 2018 | Chinese Chemical Letters2018，29，7： | 2 |
