| 4 | DZNep inhibits the proliferation of colon cancer HCT116 cells by inducing senescence and apoptosis显示文摘EZH2 is over-expressed in human colon cancer and is closely associated with tumor proliferation,metastasis and poor prognosis.Targeting and inhibiting EZH2 may be an effective therapeutic strategy for colon cancer.3-Deazaneplanocin A(DZNep),as an EZH2 inhibitor,can suppress cancer cell growth.However,the anti-cancer role of DZNep in colon cancer cells has been rarely studied.In this study,we demonstrate that DZNep can inhibit the growth and survival of colon cancer HCT116 cells by inducing cellular senescence and apoptosis.The study provides a novel view of anti-cancer mechanisms of DZNep in human colon cancer cells. | Mingquan Sha Genxiang Mao Guofu Wang Yufeng Chen Xiaojian Wu Zhen Wang | 2015 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2015,5,3: | 10 |
| 5 | Effect of Tangweian Jianji on upper gastrointestinal remodeling in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats显示文摘AIM:To investigate the effect of Tangweian Jianji(TWAJJ) on the biomechanical and morphometrical remodeling of the upper gastrointestinal tract in diabetic rats.METHODS:Diabetes was induced in 27 rats by injecting streptozotocin(40 mg/kg body weight),the animals were then divided into three groups(n = 9 in each group),i.e.,diabetic control(DM);high dose(10 g/kg,T1) and low dose(5 g/kg,T2).Another 10 rats acted as normal controls(Control).TWAJJ was administered by gavage once daily.Blood glucose and serum insulin levels were measured.Circumferential length,wall thickness and opening angle were measured from esophageal,duodenal,jejunal and ileal ring segments.The residual strain was calculated from the morphometric data.Step-wise distension was carried out on esophageal and jejunal segments.The obtained data on the length,diameter and pressure changes were then used to calculate the circumferential and longitudinal stresses and strains.Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the receptor of advanced glycation end-products(RAGE) mRNA level in jejunal tissues.RESULTS:At the end of the experiment,the blood glucose level was significantly higher and the serum insulin level was significantly lower in DM,T1 and T2 groups than in the control group(Glucose:30.23 ± 0.41 mmol/L,27.48 ± 0.27 mmol/L and 27.84 ± 0.29 mmol/L vs 5.05 ± 0.04 mmol/L,P = 1.65 × 10-16,P = 5.89 × 10-19 and P = 1.63 × 10-18,respectively;Insulin:1.47 ± 0.32 g/L,2.66 ± 0.44 g/L,2.03 ± 0.29 g/L and 4.17 ± 0.54 g/L,P = 0.0001,P = 0.029 and P = 0.025,respectively).However,these levels did not differ among the DM,T1 and T2 groups.The wet weight per unit length,wall thickness and opening angle of esophageal and intestinal segments in the DM group were significantly higher than those in the control group(from P = 0.009 to P = 0.004).These parameters in the T1 group were significantly lower than those in the DM group(wet weight,duodenum:0.147 ± 0.003 g/cm vs 0.158 ± 0.001 g/cm,P = 0.047;jejunum,0.127 ± 0.003 g/cm vs 0.151 ± 0.002 g/cm,P = 0.017;ileum,0.127 ± 0.004 g/cm vs 0.139 ± 0.003 g/cm,P = 0.046;wall thickness,esophagus:0.84 ± 0.03 mm vs 0.94 ± 0.02 mm,P = 0.014;duodenum:1.27 ± 0.06 mm vs 1.39 ± 0.05 mm,P = 0.031;jejunum:1.19 ± 0.07mm vs 1.34 ± 0.04 mm,P = 0.047;ileum:1.09 ± 0.04 mm vs 1.15 ± 0.03 mm,P = 0.049;opening angle,esophagus:112.2 ± 13.2 vs 134.7 ± 14.7,P = 0.027;duodenum:105.9 ± 12.3 vs 123.1 ± 13.1,P = 0.046;jejunum:90.1 ± 15.4 vs 115.5 ± 13.3,P = 0.044;ileum:112.9 ± 13.4 vs 136.1 ± 17.1,P = 0.035).In the esophageal and jejunal segments,the inner residual stain was significantly smaller and the outer residual strain was larger in the DM group than in the control group(P = 0.022 and P = 0.035).T1 treatment significantly restored this biomechanical alteration(P = 0.011 and P = 0.019),but T2 treatment did not.Furthermore,the circumferential and longitudinal stiffness of the esophageal and jejunal wall increased in the DM group compared with those in the control group.T1,but not T2 treatment,significantly decreased the circumferential wall stiffness in the jejunal segment(P = 0.012) and longitudinal wall stiffness in the esophageal segment(P = 0.023).The mRNA level of RAGE was significantly decreased in the T1 group compared to that in the DM group(P = 0.0069).CONCLUSION:TWAJJ(high dose) treatment partly restored the morphometric and biomechanical remodeling of the upper gastrointestinal tract in diabetic rats. | Gui-Fang Liu Jing-Bo Zhao Zhong Zhen Hong Sha Peng-Min Chen Min Li Jia-Cheng Zhang Ming-Ze Yuan Wen Gao Hans Gregersen Xiao-Lin Tong | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,35: | 8 |
| 6 | Combined small bowel and reduced auxiliary liver transplantation:case report显示文摘AIM: To present a case of combined small bowel andreduced auxiliary liver transplantation.METHODS: A 55-year-old patient with short bowelsyndrome and TPN-related liver dysfunction received smallbowel transplantation combined with a reduced auxiliaryliver graft. A liver was added to restore the patient′s liverfunction and to protect the intestinal allograft from rejection.His own liver was not removed.RESULTS: Without donor pretreatment and by conventionalimmunosuppresive therapy following transplantation, thepatient experienced had only one episode of mild intestinalrejection, which was easily reversed by treatment withMethylprednisolone. No liver rejection occurred.Unfortunately, the patient died of heart and lung failure30d after transplantation, despite successful graftreplacement. Histopathologic examination of specimens afterdeath demonstrated normal structure in both intestinal andliver grafts.CONCLUSION: The auxiliary liver graft might play a role inpreventing intestinal allograft rejection. However, theobservation period in this case is short. Further study isneeded to determine the risks, effect on the protecting thesmall-bowel from rejection, and feasibility of generalapplication of this procedure. | Wei-Jie Zhang Dun-Gui Liu Qi-Fa Ye Bo Sha Fan-Jun Zhen Hui Gun Sui-Sheng Xia Institute of Organ Transplantation,Tongji Hospital,Huazhong University of Science and Technology,Wuhan 430030,Hubei Province,China | 2002 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2002,8,5: | 6 |
| 7 | Roles of G protein-coupled receptors in inflammatory bowel disease显示文摘Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is a complex disease with multiple pathogenic factors.Although the pathogenesis of IBD is still unclear,a current hypothesis suggests that genetic susceptibility,environmental factors,a dysfunctional immune system,the microbiome,and the interactions of these factors substantially contribute to the occurrence and development of IBD.Although existing and emerging drugs have been proven to be effective in treating IBD,none can cure IBD permanently.G protein-coupled receptors(GPCRs)are critical signaling molecules implicated in the immune response,cell proliferation,inflammation regulation and intestinal barrier maintenance.Breakthroughs in the understanding of the structures and functions of GPCRs have provided a driving force for exploring the roles of GPCRs in the pathogenesis of diseases,thereby leading to the development of GPCR-targeted medication.To date,a number of GPCRs have been shown to be associated with IBD,significantly advancing the drug discovery process for IBD.The associations between GPCRs and disease activity,disease severity,and disease phenotypes have also paved new avenues for the precise management of patients with IBD.In this review,we mainly focus on the roles of the most studied proton-sensing GPCRs,cannabinoid receptors,and estrogen-related GPCRs in the pathogenesis of IBD and their potential clinical values in IBD and some other diseases. | Zhen Zeng Arjudeb Mukherjee Adwin Pidiyath Varghese Xiao-Li Yang Sha Chen Hu Zhang | 2020 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2020,26,12: | 5 |
| 8 | Unsuccessful letter–sound integration in English reading by native Chinese speakers: evidence from an event related potentials study显示文摘Integrating letters and sounds are essential for successful reading in alphabetic languages. It remains unclear if native speakers of non-alphabetic languages integrate letters and sounds in reading an alphabetic language in the same way as native alphabetic readers do.Chinese is a morpho-syllabic system(each character corresponds to one syllable) and contrasts sharply with alphabetic languages such as English. Several f MRI studies have shown that native Chinese speakers apply their native language system to read English words. By using the crossmodal mismatch negativity(MMN) paradigm, we directly investigated letter–sound integration for reading in English among native Chinese speakers. To investigate the effect of native language background on letter–sound integration in second language reading, a group of native Korean English learners served as a comparison group. We compared MMN responses between an auditory only condition(only vowels presented) and two audiovisual conditions(AV0,vowel presented synchronously with the corresponding letter; AV200, the letter presented 200 ms before the corresponding vowel) for both native Chinese and native Korean speakers. Native Chinese speakers demonstrated significantly attenuated MMN amplitudes in audiovisual conditions compared with the auditory only condition,regardless of their phonological decoding speed. In contrast, native Korean speakers showed amplified amplitude MMN in AV200 compared with that in the auditory only condition. The results suggest that native language may shape the brain responses of second language learners to reading a second language in the early stages. Native nonalphabetic language speakers may be unable to use visual information to facilitate their phonological processing in the early stage while native alphabetic language speakers are capable of integrating letter sounds automatically. | Zhen Yang Cuicui Wang Liping Feng Shifeng Li Sha Tao | 2016 | Science Bulletin2016,61,24: | 2 |

| 11 | Denting Nanospheres with a Short Peptide显示文摘Dented n anospheres show promisi ng potential in drug delivery,nano motors,etc.However,it is still challe nging to prepare them by homopolymer self-assembly because of the strict structural requirements of the homopolymer.Herein,we propose a strategy for preparing dented nano spheres from homopolymers by co-assembly with a short peptide.They were co-assembled from poly(2-hydroxy-3-((4-(ethoxycarbonyl)phenyl)amino)propyl methacrylate)(PHBzoMA59)and(S)-2-((S)-2-((((9H-fluoren-9-yl)methoxy)carbonyl)amino)-3-phenylpro-panamido)-3-phenyIpropanoic acid(Fmoc-FF-OH).PHBzoMA homopolymers can only self-assemble into nanospheres without dent,and the addition of a short peptide in troduced hydroge n bondi ng and complementary π-π stacki ng interactions led to the final dented nano sphere morphology.The weight fracti ons of the short peptide can be adjusted to regulate the final morphology.It was con firmed that the radius of curvature of the dent on the surface was related to the organic bubble inside the protospheres prepared at critical aggregation concentration(CAC).The orga nic bubble can be adjusted by altering the kind of orga nic solve nt and solution pH,which allowed control over the dented nano sphere dimension.The use of differe nt orga nic solve nts with various polarities allows adjustment of the interfacial tension,and hence the denting degree.This degree can also be controlled by manipulating the solution pH to(de)protonate the short peptide and homopolymer.Furthermore,the versatility of this method was highlighted by using a differe nt homopolymer and the applicability of the resulting den ted nanospheres was demonstrated by decoration with gold nanoparticles.Overall,this study provided important insights and a new simple strategy to prepare den ted n anospheres in a con trolled fashion. | Sha Lin Hui Sun Erik Jan Cornel Jin-Hui Jiang Yun-Qing Zhu Zhen Fan Jian-Zhong Du | 2021 | Chinese Journal of Polymer Science2021,39,12: | 1 |

| 13 | A joint call for actions to advance taxonomy in China显示文摘Taxonomy plays an important role in understanding the origin, evolution, and ecological functionality of biodiversity. There are large number of unknown species yet to be described by taxonomists, which together with their ecosystem services cannot be effectively protected prior to description. Despite this, taxonomy has been increasingly underrated insufficient funds and permanent positions to retain young talents. Further, the impact factordriven evaluation systems in China exacerbate this downward trend, so alternative evaluation metrics are urgently necessary. When the current generation of outstanding taxonomists retires,there will be too few remaining taxonomists left to train the next generation. In light of these challenges, all co-authors worked together on this paper to analyze the current situation of taxonomy and put out a joint call for immediate actions to advance taxonomy in China. | Chaodong Zhu Arong Luo Ming Bai Michael COrr Zhonge Hou Siqin Ge Jun Chen Yibo Hu Xuming Zhou Gexia Qiao Hongzhi Kong Limin Lu Xiaohua Jin Lei Cai Xinli Wei Ruilin Zhao Wei Miao Qingfeng Wang Zhongli Sha Qiang Lin Meng Qu Jianping Jiang Jiatang Li Jing Che Xuelong Jiang Xiaoyong Chen Lianming Gao Zongxin Ren Chunlei Xiang Shixiao Luo Donghui Wu Dong Liu Yanqiong Peng Tao Su Chenyang Cai Tianqi Zhu Wanzhi Cai Xingyue Liu Hu Li Huaijun Xue Zhen Ye Xuexin Chen Pu Tang Shujun Wei Hong Pang Qiang Xie Feng Zhang Feng Zhang Xianjin Peng Aibing Zhang Taiping Gao Changfa Zhou Chen Shao Libin Ma Zhaoming Wei Yunxia Luan Ziwei Yin Wu Dai Cong Wei Xiaolei Huang Jingxian Liu Xiangsheng Chen Tianci Yi Zhisheng Zhang Zhulidezi Aishan Qin Li Hongying Hu | 2022 | Zoological Systematics2022,47,3: | 1 |
| 14 | Antihepatoma peptide,scolopentide,derived from the centipede scolopendra subspinipes mutilans显示文摘BACKGROUND Centipedes have been used to treat tumors for hundreds of years in China.However,current studies focus on antimicrobial and anticoagulation agents rather than tumors.The molecular identities of antihepatoma bioactive components in centipedes have not yet been extensively investigated.It is a challenge to isolate and characterize the effective components of centipedes due to limited peptide purification technologies for animal-derived medicines.AIM To purify,characterize,and synthesize the bioactive components with the strongest antihepatoma activity from centipedes and determine the antihepatoma mechanism.METHODS An antihepatoma peptide(scolopentide)was isolated and identified from the centipede scolopendra subspinipes mutilans using a combination of enzymatic hydrolysis,a Sephadex G-25 column,and two steps of high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).Additionally,the CCK8 assay was used to select the extracted fraction with the strongest antihepatoma activity.The molecular weight of the extracted scolopentide was characterized by quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry(QTOF MS),and the sequence was matched by using the Mascot search engine.Based on the sequence and molecular weight,scolopentide was synthesized using solid-phase peptide synthesis methods.The synthetic scolopentide was confirmed by MS and HPLC.The antineoplastic effect of extracted scolopentide was confirmed by CCK8 assay and morphological changes again in vitro.The antihepatoma effect of synthetic scolopentide was assessed by the CCK8 assay and Hoechst staining in vitro and tumor volume and tumor weight in vivo.In the tumor xenograft experiments,qualified model mice(male 5-week-old BALB/c nude mice)were randomly divided into 2 groups(n=6):The scolopentide group(0.15 mL/d,via intraperitoneal injection of synthetic scolopentide,500 mg/kg/d)and the vehicle group(0.15 mL/d,via intraperitoneal injection of normal saline).The mice were euthanized by cervical dislocation after 14 d of continuous treatment.Mechanistically,flow cytometry was conducted to evaluate the apoptosis rate of HepG2 cells after treatment with extracted scolopentide in vitro.A Hoechst staining assay was also used to observe apoptosis in HepG2 cells after treatment with synthetic scolopentide in vitro.CCK8 assays and morphological changes were used to compare the cytotoxicity of synthetic scolopentide to liver cancer cells and normal liver cells in vitro.Molecular docking was performed to clarify whether scolopentide tightly bound to death receptor 4(DR4)and DR5.qRT-PCR was used to measure the mRNA expression of DR4,DR5,fas-associated death domain protein(FADD),Caspase-8,Caspase-3,cytochrome c(Cyto-C),B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2),Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax),x-chromosome linked inhibitor-of-apoptosis protein and Cellular fas-associated death domain-like interleukin-1βconverting enzyme inhibitory protein in hepatocarcinoma subcutaneous xenograft tumors from mice.Western blot assays were used to measure the protein expression of DR4,DR5,FADD,Caspase-8,Caspase-3,and Cyto-C in the tumor tissues.The reactive oxygen species(ROS)of tumor tissues were tested.RESULTS In the process of purification,characterization and synthesis of scolopentide,the optimal enzymatic hydrolysis conditions(extract ratio:5.86%,IC_(50):0.310 mg/mL)were as follows:Trypsin at 0.1 g(300 U/g,centipede-trypsin ratio of 20:1),enzymolysis temperature of 46°C,and enzymolysis time of 4 h,which was superior to freeze-thawing with liquid nitrogen(IC_(50):3.07 mg/mL).A peptide with the strongest antihepatoma activity(scolopentide)was further purified through a Sephadex G-25 column(obtained A2)and two steps of HPLC(obtained B5 and C3).The molecular weight of the extracted scolopentide was 1018.997 Da,and the peptide sequence was RAQNHYCK,as characterized by QTOF MS and Mascot.Scolopentide was synthesized in vitro with a qualified molecular weight(1018.8 Da)and purity(98.014%),which was characterized by MS and HPLC.Extracted scolopentide still had an antineoplastic effect in vitro,which inhibited the proliferation of Eca-109(IC_(50):76.27μg/mL),HepG2(IC_(50):22.06μg/mL),and A549(IC_(50):35.13μg/mL)cells,especially HepG2 cells.Synthetic scolopentide inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 cells(treated 6,12,and 24 h)in a concentration-dependent manner in vitro,and the inhibitory effects were the strongest at 12 h(IC_(50):208.11μg/mL).Synthetic scolopentide also inhibited the tumor volume(Vehicle vs Scolopentide,P=0.0003)and weight(Vehicle vs Scolopentide,P=0.0022)in the tumor xenograft experiment.Mechanistically,flow cytometry suggested that the apoptosis ratios of HepG2 cells after treatment with extracted scolopentide were 5.01%(0μg/mL),12.13%(10μg/mL),16.52%(20μg/mL),and 23.20%(40μg/mL).Hoechst staining revealed apoptosis in HepG2 cells after treatment with synthetic scolopentide in vitro.The CCK8 assay and morphological changes indicated that synthetic scolopentide was cytotoxic and was significantly stronger in HepG2 cells than in L02 cells.Molecular docking suggested that scolopentide tightly bound to DR4 and DR5,and the binding free energies were-10.4 kcal/mol and-7.1 kcal/mol,respectively.In subcutaneous xenograft tumors from mice,quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting suggested that scolopentide activated DR4 and DR5 and induced apoptosis in SMMC-7721 Liver cancer cells by promoting the expression of FADD,caspase-8 and caspase-3 through a mitochondria-independent pathway.CONCLUSION Scolopentide,an antihepatoma peptide purified from centipedes,may inspire new antihepatoma agents.Scolopentide activates DR4 and DR5 and induces apoptosis in liver cancer cells through a mitochondria-independent pathway. | Yu-Xing Hu Zhuo Liu Zhen Zhang Zhe Deng Zhen Huang Ting Feng Qing-Hong Zhou Si Mei Chun Yi Qing Zhou Pu-Hua Zeng Gang Pei

| 15 | Rhesus monkeys exhibiting spontaneous ritualistic behaviors resembling obsessive-compulsive disorder显示文摘Obsessive-compulsive disorder(OCD)is a chronic and debilitating psychiatric disorder that affects∼2%–3%of the population globally.Studying spontaneous OCD-like behaviors in non-human primates may improve our understanding of the disorder.In large rhesus monkey colonies,we found 10 monkeys spontaneously exhibiting persistent sequential motor behaviors(SMBs)in individual-specific sequences that were repetitive,time-consuming and stable over prolonged periods.Genetic analysis revealed severely damaging mutations in genes associated with OCD risk in humans.Brain imaging showed that monkeys with SMBs had larger gray matter(GM)volumes in the left caudate nucleus and lower fractional anisotropy of the corpus callosum.The GM volume of the left caudate nucleus correlated positively with the daily duration of SMBs.Notably,exposure to a stressor(human presence)significantly increased SMBs.In addition,fluoxetine,a serotonergic medication commonly used for OCD,decreased SMBs in these monkeys.These findings provide a novel foundation for developing better understanding and treatment of OCD. | Rongwei Zhai Geya Tong Zheqin Li Weichen Song Yang Hu Sha Xu Qiqi Wei Xiaocheng Zhang Yi Li Bingbing Liao Chenyu Yuan Yinqing Fan Ge Song Yinyin Ouyang Wenxuan Zhang Yaqiu Tang Minghui Jin Yuxian Zhang He Li Zhi Yang Guan Ning Lin Dan JStein Zhi-Qi Xiong Zhen Wang | 2023 | National Science Review2023,10,11: | 1 |

| 19 | Frankincense myrrh attenuates hepatocellular carcinoma by regulating tumor blood vessel development through multiple epidermal growth factor receptor-mediated signaling pathways显示文摘BACKGROUND In traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),frankincense and myrrh are the main components of the antitumor drug Xihuang Pill.These compounds show anticancer activity in other biological systems.However,whether frankincense and/or myrrh can inhibit the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is unknown,and the potential molecular mechanism(s)has not yet been determined.AIM To predict and determine latent anti-HCC therapeutic targets and molecular mechanisms of frankincense and myrrh in vivo.METHODS In the present study,which was based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(http://gffzz390fd749913b458bhcwpvuw5oc66x690f.ffgz.tsg.suse.edu.cn/tcmsp.php),Universal Protein database(http://gffzzc0d2db89b939488bhcwpvuw5oc66x690f.ffgz.tsg.suse.edu.cn),GeneCards:The Human Gene Database(http://gffzza6b9c6ac78e94ba9hcwpvuw5oc66x690f.ffgz.tsg.suse.edu.cn/)and Comparative Toxicogenomics Database(http://gffzz2b6478e0a40e4229hcwpvuw5oc66x690f.ffgz.tsg.suse.edu.cn/),the efficacy of and mechanism by which frankincense and myrrh act as anti-HCC compounds were predicted.The core prediction targets were screened by molecular docking.In vivo,SMMC-7721 human liver cancer cells were transplanted as xenografts into nude mice to establish a subcutaneous tumor model,and two doses of frankincense plus myrrh or one dose of an EGFR inhibitor was administered to these mice continuously for 14 d.The tumors were collected and evaluated:the tumor volume and growth rate were gauged to evaluate tumor growth;hematoxylineosin staining was performed to estimate histopathological changes;immunofluorescence(IF)was performed to detect the expression of CD31,α-SMA and collagen IV;transmission electron microscopy(TEM)was conducted to observe the morphological structure of vascular cells;enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was performed to measure the levels of secreted HIF-1αand TNF-α;reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)was performed to measure the mRNA expression of HIF-1α,TNF-α,VEGF and MMP-9;and Western blot(WB)was performed to determine the levels of proteins expressed in the EGFR-mediated PI3K/Akt and MAPK signaling pathways.RESULTS The results of the network pharmacology analysis showed that there were 35 active components in the frankincense and myrrh extracts targeting 151 key targets.The molecular docking analysis showed that both boswellic acid and stigmasterol showed strong affinity for the targets,with the greatest affinity for EGFR.Frankincense and myrrh treatment may play a role in the treatment of HCC by regulating hypoxia responses and vascular system-related pathological processes,such as cytokine-receptor binding,and pathways,such as those involving serine/threonine protein kinase complexes and MAPK,HIF-1 and ErbB signaling cascades.The animal experiment results were verified.First,we found that,through frankincense and/or myrrh treatment,the volume of subcutaneously transplanted HCC tumors was significantly reduced,and the pathological morphology was attenuated.Then,IF and TEM showed that frankincense and/or myrrh treatment reduced CD31 and collagen IV expression,increased the coverage of perivascular cells,tightened the connection between cells,and improved the shape of blood vessels.In addition,ELISA,RT-qPCR and WB analyses showed that frankincense and/or myrrh treatment inhibited the levels of hypoxia-inducible factors,inflammatory factors and angiogenesis-related factors,namely,HIF-1α,TNF-α,VEGF and MMP-9.Furthermore,mechanistic experiments illustrated that the effect of frankincense plus myrrh treatment was similar to that of an EGFR inhibitor with regard to controlling EGFR activation,thereby inhibiting the phosphorylation activity of its downstream targets:the PI3K/Akt and MAPK(ERK,p38 and JNK)pathways.CONCLUSION In summary,frankincense and myrrh treatment targets tumor blood vessels to exert anti-HCC effects via EGFR-activated PI3K/Akt and MAPK signaling pathways,highlighting the potential of this dual TCM compound as an anti-HCC candidate. | Piao Zheng Zhen Huang Dong-Chang Tong Qing Zhou Sha Tian Bo-Wei Chen Di-Min Ning Yin-Mei Guo Wen-Hao Zhu Yan Long Wei Xiao Zhe Deng Yi-Chen Lei Xue-Fei Tian | 2022 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2022,14,2: | 1 |
| 20 | Addition of the T5 exonuclease increases the prime editing efficiency in plants显示文摘Prime editing(PE)is a versatile genome editing tool without the need for double-stranded DNA breaks or donor DNA templates,but is limited by low editing efficiency.We previously fused the M-MLV reverse transcriptase to the Cas9 nickase,generating the PE2(v1)system,but the editing efficiency of this system is still low.Here we develop different versions of PE2 by adding the 50-to-30 exonuclease at different positions of the nCas9-M-MLV RT fusion protein.PE2(v2),in which the T5 exonuclease fused to the N-terminus of the nCas9-MMLV fusion protein enhances prime editing efficiency of base substitutions,deletions,and insertions at several genomic sites by 1.7-to 2.9-fold in plant cells compared to PE2(v1).The improved editing efficiency of PE2(v2)is further confirmed by generating increased heritable prime edits in stable transgenic plants compared to the previously established PE-P1,PE-P2,and PPE systems.Using PE2(v2),we generate herbicide-resistant rice by simultaneously introducing mutations causing amino acid substitutions at two target sites.The PE efficiency is further improved by combining PE2(v2)and dualpegRNAs.Taken together,the increased genome editing efficiency of PE2(v2)developed in this study may enhance the applications of PE in plants. | Zhen Liang Yuqing Wu Yingjie Guo Sha Wei | 2023 | Journal of Genetics and Genomics2023,50,8: | 1 |
