| 1 | Tailoring the Meso-Structure of Gold Nanoparticles in Keratin-Based Activated Carbon Toward High-Performance Flexible Sensor显示文摘Flexible biosensors with high accuracy and reliable operation in detecting pH and uric acid levels in body fluids are fabricated using well-engineered metaldoped porous carbon as electrode material.The gold nanoparticles@N-doped carbon in situ are prepared using wool keratin as both a novel carbon precursor and a stabilizer.The conducting electrode material is fabricated at 500℃ under customized parameters,which mimics A-B type(two different repeating units) polymeric material and displays excellent deprotonation performance(pH sensitivity).The obtained pH sensor exhibits high pH sensitivity of 57 mV/pH unit and insignificant relative standard deviation of 0.088%.Conversely,the composite carbon material with sp^2 structure prepared at 700℃ is doped with nitrogen and gold nanoparticles,which exhibits good conductivity and electrocatalytic activity for uric acid oxidation.The uric acid sensor has linear response over a range of 1-150 μM and a limit of detection 0.1 μM.These results will provide new avenues where biological material will be the best start,which can be useful to target contradictory applications through molecular engineering at mesoscale. | Aniruddha BPatil Zhaohui Meng Ronghui Wu Liyun Ma Zijie Xu Chenyang Shi Wu Qiu Qiang Liu Yifan Zhang Youhui Lin Naibo Lin Xiang Yang Liu | 2020 | Nano-Micro Letters2020，12，9： | 3 |
| 2 | Progranulin regulation of autophagy contributes to its chondroprotective effect in osteoarthritis显示文摘Progranulin(PGRN)is a multifunctional growth factor involved in many physiolog-ical processes and disease states.The apparent protective role of PGRN and the importance of chondrocyte autophagic function in the progression of osteoarthritis(OA)led us to investi-gate the role of PGRN in the regulation of chondrocyte autophagy.PGRN knockout chondro-cytes exhibited a deficient autophagic response with limited induction following rapamycin,serum starvation,and IL-1b-induced autophagy.PGRN-mediated anabolism and suppression of IL-1b-induced catabolism were largely abrogated in the presence of the BafA1 autophagy inhibitor.Mechanistically,during the process of OA,PGRN and the ATG5eATG12 conjugate form a protein complex;PGRN regulates autophagy in chondrocytes and OA through,at least partially,the interactions between PGRN and the ATG5eATG12 conjugate.Furthermore,the ATG5eATG12 conjugate is critical for cell proliferation and apoptosis.Knockdown or knockout of ATG5 reduces the expression of ATG5eATG12 conjugate and inhibits the chondroprotective effect of PGRN on anabolism and catabolism.Overexpression of PGRN partially reversed this effect.In brief,the PGRN-mediated regulation of chondrocyte autophagy plays a key role in the chondroprotective role of PGRN in OA.Such studies provide new insights into the pathogen-esis of OA and PGRN-associated autophagy in chondrocyte homeostasis. | Yiming Pan Yuyou Yang Mengtian Fan Cheng Chen Rong Jiang Li Liang Menglin Xian Biao Kuang Nana Geng Naibo Feng Lin Deng Wei Zheng Fengmei Zhang Xiaoli Li Fengjin Guo | 2023 | Genes & Diseases2023，10，4： | 0 |
