| 1 | Acidity of Aerosols during Winter Heavy Haze Events in Beijing and Gucheng, China显示文摘We investigated the acidity and concentrations of water-soluble ions in PM_(2.5) aerosol samples collected from an urban site in Beijing and a rural site in Gucheng, Hebei Province from November 2016 to January 2017 to gain an insight into the formation of secondary inorganic species. The average SO_4^(2–), NO_3~–, and NH_4^+ concentrations were 8.3,12.5, and 14.1 μg m^(–3), respectively, at the urban site and 14.0, 14.2, and 24.2 μg m^(–3), respectively, at the rural site.The nitrogen and sulfur oxidation ratios in urban Beijing were correlated with relative humidity(with correlation coefficient r = 0.79 and 0.67, respectively) and the aerosol loadings. Based on a parameterization model, we found that the rate constant of the heterogeneous reactions for SO_2 on polluted days was about 10 times higher than that on clear days, suggesting that the heterogeneous reactions in the aerosol water played an essential role in haze events.The ISORROPIA II model was used to predict the aerosol pH, which had a mean(range) of 5.0(4.9–5.2) and 5.3(4.6–6.3) at the urban and rural site, respectively. Under the conditions with this predicted pH value, oxidation by dissolved NO_2 and the hydrolysis of N_2O_5 may be the major heterogeneous reactions forming SO_4^(2–) and NO_3~– in haze.We also analyzed the sensitivity of the aerosol p H to changes in the concentrations of SO_4^(2–), NO_3~–, and NH_4^+ under haze conditions. The aerosol p H was more sensitive to the SO_4^(2–) and NH_4^+ concentrations with opposing trends, than to the NO_3~– concentrations. The sensitivity of the p H was relatively weak overall, which was attributed to the buffering effect of NH_3 partitioning. | Xiyuan CHI Pengzhen HE Zhuang JIANG Xiawei YU Fange YUE Longquan WANG Bokun LI Hui KANG Cheng LIU Zhouqing XIE | 2018 | Journal of Meteorological Research2018,32,1: | 4 |

| 3 | Restoring the dampened expression of the core clock molecule BMAL1 protects against compression-induced intervertebral disc degeneration显示文摘The circadian clock participates in maintaining homeostasis in peripheral tissues,including intervertebral discs(IVDs).Abnormal mechanical loading is a known risk factor for intervertebral disc degeneration(IDD).Based on the rhythmic daily loading pattern of rest and activity,we hypothesized that abnormal mechanical loading could dampen the IVD clock,contributing to IDD.Here,we investigated the effects of abnormal loading on the IVD clock and aimed to inhibit compression-induced IDD by targeting the core clock molecule brain and muscle Arnt-like protein-1(BMAL1).In this study,we showed that BMAL1 KO mice exhibit radiographic features similar to those of human IDD and that BMAL1 expression was negatively correlated with IDD severity by systematic analysis based on 149 human IVD samples.The intrinsic circadian clock in the IVD was dampened by excessive loading,and BMAL1 overexpression by lentivirus attenuated compression-induced IDD.Inhibition of the RhoA/ROCK pathway by Y-27632 or melatonin attenuated the compression-induced decrease in BMAL1 expression.Finally,the two drugs partially restored BMAL1 expression and alleviated IDD in a diurnal compression model.Our results first show that excessive loading dampens the circadian clock of nucleus pulposus tissues via the RhoA/ROCK pathway,the inhibition of which potentially protects against compression-induced IDD by preserving BMAL1 expression.These findings underline the importance of the circadian clock for IVD homeostasis and provide a potentially effective therapeutic strategy for IDD. | Dong Wang Pandi Peng Michal Dudek Xueyu Hu Xiaolong Xu Qiliang Shang Di Wang Haoruo Jia Han Wang Bo Gao Chao Zheng Jianxin Mao Chu Gao Xin He Pengzhen Cheng Huanbo Wang Jianmin Zheng Judith A.Hoyland Qing-Jun Meng Zhuojing Luo Liu Yang | 2022 | Bone Research2022,10,2: | 2 |
| 4 | Modulating autophagic flux via ROS-responsive targeted micelles to restore neuronal proteostasis in Alzheimer’s disease显示文摘Compromised autophagy and defective lysosomal clearance significantly contribute to impaired neuronal proteostasis,which represents a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease(AD)and other age-related neurodegenerative disorders.Growing evidence has implicated that modulating autophagic flux,instead of inducing autophagosome formation alone,would be more reliable to rescue neuronal proteostasis.Concurrently,selectively enhancing drug concentrations in the leision areas,instead of the whole brain,will maximize therapeutic efficacy while reduing non-selective autophagy induction.Herein,we design a ROS-responsive targeted micelle system(TT-NM/Rapa)to enhance the delivery efficiency of rapamycin to neurons in AD lesions guided by the fusion peptide TPL,and facilitate its intracellular release via ROS-mediated disassembly of micelles,thereby maximizing autophagic flux modulating efficacy of rapamycin in neurons.Consequently,it promotes the efficient clearance of intracellular neurotoxic proteins,β-amyloid and hyperphosphorylated tau proteins,and ameliorates memory defects and neuronal damage in 3×Tg-AD transgenic mice.Our studies demonstrate a promising strategy to restore autophagic flux and improve neuronal proteostasis by rationally-engineered nano-systems for delaying the progression of AD. | Shuting Xu Peng Yang Kang Qian Yixian Li Qian Guo Pengzhen Wang Ran Meng Jing Wu Jinxu Cao Yunlong Cheng Minjun Xu Qizhi Zhang | 2022 | Bioactive Materials2022,7,5: | 1 |
| 5 | Sensory nerves directly promote osteoclastogenesis by secreting peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase D(Cyp40)显示文摘Given afferent functions,sensory nerves have recently been found to exert efferent effects and directly alter organ physiology.Additionally,several studies have highlighted the indirect but crucial role of sensory nerves in the regulation of the physiological function of osteoclasts.Nonetheless,evidence regarding the direct sensory nerve efferent influence on osteoclasts is lacking.In the current study,we found that high levels of efferent signals were transported directly from the sensory nerves into osteoclasts.Furthermore,sensory hypersensitivity significantly increased osteoclastic bone resorption,and sensory neurons(SNs)directly promoted osteoclastogenesis in an in vitro coculture system.Moreover,we screened a novel neuropeptide,Cyp40,using an isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation(iTRAQ).We observed that Cyp40 is the efferent signal from sensory nerves,and it plays a critical role in osteoclastogenesis via the aryl hydrocarbon receptor(AhR)-Ras/Raf-p-Erk-NFATc1 pathway.These findings revealed a novel mechanism regarding the influence of sensory nerves on bone regulation,i.e.,a direct promoting effect on osteoclastogenesis by the secretion of Cyp40.Therefore,inhibiting Cyp40 could serve as a strategy to improve bone quality in osteoporosis and promote bone repair after bone injury. | Junqin Li Bin Liu Hao Wu Shuaishuai Zhang Zhuowen Liang Shuo Guo Huijie Jiang Yue Song Xing Lei Yi Gao Pengzhen Cheng Donglin Li Jimeng Wang Yang Liu Di Wang Nazhi Zhan Jing Xu Lin Wang Guozhi Xiao Liu Yang GuoXian Pei | 2023 | Bone Research2023,11,4: | 0 |
| 6 | Nidogen1-enriched extracellular vesicles accelerate angiogenesis and bone regeneration by targeting Myosin-10 to regulate endothelial cell adhesion显示文摘The technique bottleneck of repairing large bone defects with tissue engineered bone is the vascularization of tissue engineered grafts.Although some studies have shown that extracellular vesicles(EVs)derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)promote bone healing and repair by accelerating angiogenesis,the effector molecules and the mechanism remain unclear,which fail to provide ideas for the future research and development of cell-free interventions.Here,we found that Nidogen1-enriched EV(EV-NID1)derived from BMSCs interferes with the formation and assembly of focal adhesions(FAs)by targeting myosin-10,thereby reducing the adhesion strength of rat arterial endothelial cells(RAECs)to the extracellular matrix(ECM),and enhancing the migration and angiogenesis potential of RAECs.Moreover,by delivery with composite hydrogel,EV-NID1 is demonstrated to promote angiogenesis and bone regeneration in rat femoral defects.This study identifies the intracellular binding target of EV-NID1 and further elucidates a novel approach and mechanism,thereby providing a cell-free construction strategy with precise targets for the development of vascularized tissue engineering products. | Pengzhen Cheng Tianqing Cao Xueyi Zhao Weiguang Lu Sheng Miao Fenru Ning Dong Wang Yi Gao Long Wang Guoxian Pei Liu Yang | 2022 | Bioactive Materials2022,7,6: | 0 |
| 7 | Self-Assembled Plasmonic Pyramids from Anisotropic Nanoparticles for High-Efficient SERS显示文摘Surface-enhanced Raman scattering(SERS)substrates play important roles for the enhancement of inelastic scattering signals.Traditional substrates such as roughened electrodes and colloidal aggregates suffer from well-known signal reproducibility issues,whereas for current dominant two-dimensional planar systems,the hot spot distributions are limited by the zero-,one-or two-dimensional plane.The introduction of a three-dimensional(3D)system such as a pyramid geometry breaks the limitation of a single Cartesian SERS-active area and extends it into the z-direction,with the tip potentially offering additional benefits of strong field enhancement and high sensitivity.However,current 3D pyramidal designs are restricted to film deposition on prepared pyramid templates or self-assembly in pyramidal molds with spherical building blocks,hence limiting their SERS effectiveness.Here,we report on the fabrication of a new class of low cost and well-defined plasmonic nanoparticle pyramid arrays from different anisotropic shaped nanoparticles using combined top-down lithography and bottom-up self-assembly approach.These pyramids exhibit novel optical scattering properties that can be exploited for the design of reproducible and sensitive SERS substrate.The SERS intensity was found to decrease drastically in accordance with a power law function as the focal planes move from the apex of the pyramid structure towards the base.In comparison to sphere-based building blocks,pyramids assembled from anisotropic rhombic dodecahedral gold nanocrystals with numerous sharp tips exhibited the strongest SERS performance.Graphical Abstract Macroscale pyramidal array films with plasmonic tunability as a new class of SERS substrate for sensitive detection of chemicals. | Wenjuan Yang Kae Jye Si Pengzhen Guo Dashen Dong Debabrata Sikdar Malin Premaratne Wenlong Cheng | 2017 | Journal of Analysis and Testing2017,1,4: | 0 |
| 8 | Multidimensional autophagy nano-regulator boosts Alzheimer's disease treatment by improving both extra/intraneuronal homeostasis显示文摘Intraneuronal dysproteostasis and extraneuronal microenvironmental abnormalities in Alzheimer’s disease(AD)collectively culminate in neuronal deterioration.In the context of AD,autophagy dysfunction,a multi-link obstacle involving autophagy downregulation and lysosome defects in neurons/microglia is highly implicated in intra/extraneuronal pathological processes.Therefore,multidimensional autophagy regulation strategies co-manipulating“autophagy induction”and“lysosome degradation”in dual targets(neuron and microglia)are more reliable for AD treatment.Accordingly,we designed an RP-1 peptide-modified reactive oxygen species(ROS)-responsive micelles(RT-NM)loading rapamycin or gypenoside XVII.Guided by RP-1 peptide,the ligand of receptor for advanced glycation end products(RAGE),RT-NM efficiently targeted neurons and microglia in AD-affected region.This nanocombination therapy activated the whole autophagy-lysosome pathway by autophagy induction(rapamycin)and lysosome improvement(gypenoside XVII),thus enhancing autophagic degradation of neurotoxic aggregates and inflammasomes,and promoting Aβ phagocytosis.Resultantly,it decreased aberrant protein burden,alleviated neuroinflammation,and eventually ameliorated memory defects in 3×Tg-AD transgenic mice.Our research developed a multidimensional autophagy nano-regulator to boost the efficacy of autophagy-centered AD therapy. | Yixian Li Peng Yang Ran Meng Shuting Xu Lingling Zhou Kang Qian Pengzhen Wang Yunlong Cheng Dongyu Sheng Minjun Xu Tianying Wang Jing Wu Jinxu Cao Qizhi Zhang | 2024 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2024,14,3: | 0 |
