It was found that the expression of apoptosis-related proteins, like pleckstrin homology-like domain family A member 1 (PHLDA1), was also consistently up-regulated in the hypoxia/re-oxygenation group. STRING analysis found that significantly differentially expressed genes SLC38A3, SLC5A5, Lnc-SLC36A4-1, and Lnc-PLEKHJ1-1 may have physical or/and functional protein-protein interactions with PHLDA1. CONCLUSIONS The data from this study have built a foundation to develop many hypotheses to further explore the hypoxia/re-oxygenation mechanisms, an area with great clinical significance for multiple diseases.Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F has significant anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties and is widely used for treating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and kidney disease, especially in traditional Chinese medicine. The mechanisms underlying its effects may be diverse but they remain unclear, and its toxicity and side effects limit its wider clinical application. This review summarizes the clinical application of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F in recent years, as well as the results of studies into its mechanisms and toxicity, to provide a reference for its future clinical application.The organosulfur compound sulforaphane (SFN; C6H11NOS2) is a potent cytoprotective agent promoting antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiglycative, and antimicrobial effects in in vitro and in vivo experimental models. Mitochondria are the major site of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production due to the work of the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system. They are also the main site of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in nucleated human cells. Mitochondrial impairment is central in several human diseases, including neurodegeneration and metabolic disorders. In this paper, we describe and discuss the effects and mechanisms of action by which SFN modulates mitochondrial function and dynamics in mammalian cells. Mitochondria-related pro-apoptotic effects promoted by SFN in tumor cells are also discussed. SFN may be considered a cytoprotective agent, at least in part, because of the effects this organosulfur agent induces in mitochondria. Nonetheless, there are certain points that should be addressed in further experiments, indicated here as future directions, which may help researchers in this field of research.Binuclear lanthanide complexes of Eu(III) and Sm(III) were obtained in the presence of chiral ligand 1,2-(R,R+S,S)-N,N'-bis(2-pyridylmethylene),2-diamine. An unusual structure of the Eu(III) compound with two lanthanide atoms connected through two chlorines was determined by X-ray crystallography. In solution, the dimer coexists with a monomeric complex, and the stability of the binuclear form depends on the solvent and concentration. The dimer-monomer equilibrium was monitored by circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) measured on a Raman optical activity (ROA) spectrometer, where both forms provided large CPL anisotropic ratios of up to 5.6×10-2 . Monomer formation was favored in water, whereas the dimer was stabilized in methanol. When mixed with adenosine phosphates, AMP gave much smaller CPL than ADP and ATP, indicating a high affinity of the Eu (III) complex for the phosphate group, which in connection with the ROA/CPL technique can be developed into a bioanalytical probe. © 2020 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.The peroxynitrite ion (ONOO- ) has important roles in many biological processes. We have developed a multicolor ONOO- -sensing probe (SiONNOH) that undergoes deprotonation and desilylation processes, which result in several changes in the emission wavelengths. In response to different concentrations of ONOO- , the probe exhibits fluorescence changes from pink (595 nm at 2 eq. ONOO- ) to green (540 nm at 6 eq. ONOO- ) via orange (3 eq. ONOO- ) and yellow (4 eq. ONOO- ) under physiological conditions until no fluorescence signal is observed after ONOO- is completely eliminated by lipoic acid. The probe shows the high selectivity for ONOO- and the limit of detection is calculated to be 1.27 μM. Moreover, the probe shows the capacity to monitor the concentration ranges of ONOO- through multicolor fluorescence in living cells, which will greatly facilitate the rapid detection of ONOO- concentration ranges by the naked eye under a UV light without any precision instrumentation. © 2020 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Here, a new approach for the preparation of functional materials for biomedical diagnosis was developed. This method employs a fluorescent dye comprising 4-amino-1,8-naphthalimide with two orthogonal functional groups suitable for click chemistry. The orthogonal reactivity of these groups allows the sequential functionalization of the fluorophore, firstly with (bio)molecules, and then binding of the (bio)molecule-naphthalimide macrostructure onto the surface of a solid support. The fluorescent properties confirm the immobilization of the (bio)molecule on the surface of the solid support, without requiring other indirect methods to verify the immobilization. These functional materials were tested successfully with sera of patients, thus proving their potential application for allergic drug diagnosis. © 2020 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.The influenza virus is one of the major public health threats. However, the development of efficient vaccines and therapeutic drugs to combat this virus is greatly limited by its frequent genetic mutations. Because of this, targeting the host factors required for influenza virus replication may be a more effective strategy for inhibiting a broader spectrum of variants. Here, we demonstrated that inhibition of a motor protein kinesin family member 18A (KIF18A) suppresses the replication of the influenza A virus (IAV). The expression of KIF18A in host cells was increased following IAV infection. Intriguingly, treatment with the selective and ATP-competitive mitotic kinesin KIF18A inhibitor BTB-1 substantially decreased the expression of viral RNAs and proteins, and the production of infectious viral particles, while overexpression of KIF18A enhanced the replication of IAV. Importantly, BTB-1 treatment attenuated the activation of AKT, p38 MAPK, SAPK and Ran-binding protein 3 (RanBP3), which led to the prevention of the nuclear export of viral ribonucleoprotein complexes.
