Purpose: Effective predictors of the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) are still insufficient. This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of serum lipid profiles for the response to NAC in breast cancer patients. Methods: A total of 533 breast cancer patients who had received NAC were retrospectively studied. The pretreatment of serum lipids, including total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and lipoprotein-α, and clinicopathological characteristics were collected to assess their predictive roles. Results: Breast cancer patients had significantly lower TC, TG, HDL-C, and LDL-C levels than normal individuals. Among these indicators, TG and LDL-C levels and HDL-C level increased and decreased significantly after NAC, respectively. In estrogen receptor (ER)-positive patients, increased LDL-C level was associated with better outcomes. Moreover, the receiver operating characteristic curve analyses suggested that TG and HDL-C levels at diagnosis can be used as predictors of the response to NAC only in the ER-positive subgroup. According to univariate analyses, patients with low TG level (< 1.155 mmol/L) or high HDL-C level (≥ 1.305 mmol/L) in the ER-positive subgroup had more favorable clinical responses than the other patients in the subgroup. Furthermore, according to multivariate analyses, a high HDL-C level (≥ 1.305 mmol/L, p = 0.007) was an independent predictor of NAC efficacy. Conclusion: High HDL-C level (≥ 1.305 mmol/L) before NAC and increased LDL-C level after NAC were associated with the better treatment response in ER-positive breast cancer patients. These results are potentially considered beneficial in establishing treatment decisions.

Improving health and delaying aging is the focus of medical research. Previous studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) senescence is closely related to organic aging and the development of aging-related diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA). m6A is a common RNA modification that plays an important role in regulating cell biological functions, and ALKBH5 is one of the key m6A demethylases. However, the role of m6A and ALKBH5 in MSC senescence is still unclear. Here, we found that the m6A level was enhanced and ALKBH5 expression was decreased in aging MSCs induced by multiple replications, H2O2 stimulation or UV irradiation. Downregulation of ALKBH5 expression facilitated MSC senescence by enhancing the stability of CYP1B1 mRNA and inducing mitochondrial dysfunction. In addition, IGF2BP1 was identified as the m6A reader restraining the degradation of m6A-modified CYP1B1 mRNA. Furthermore, Alkbh5 knockout in MSCs aggravated spontaneous OA in mice, and overexpression of Alkbh5 improved the efficacy of MSCs in OA. Overall, this study revealed a novel mechanism of m6A in MSC senescence and identified promising targets to protect against aging and OA.

Chemical modifications of the nucleotides can improve the stability of aptamers against enzyme degradation in serum, but it is not clear whether these methods are effective in snake venom. In this study, a DNA aptamer, βB-1, which specifically recognize β-bungarotoxin and Bungarus multicinctus venom was chosen, and the key binding sequence of the aptamer was determined. Based on the secondary structure of the truncated aptamer, locked nucleic acids and 2′-O-methyl nucleotides were applied to modify the stem and loop sequences, respectively. In addition, a 3′-3′-thymidine cap was also adopted to block the 3′ end. It was shown that these chemical modifications can all enhance the stability of the aptamer in snake venom. Simultaneously, modified aptamer with the above modifications in one sequence exhibited a significantly elevated biostability, with the half-life improved from several minutes to 210 min while maintaining its binding affinity to the target.

The pigment gland is an important character of the Gossypium plant. With the aim of identifying genes involved in pigment gland morphogenesis in cotton, gene expression during pigment gland morphogenesis in Chuan 2802, which is glanded both in seed and plant, and a glandless line N5 was profiled using Affymetrix Cotton microarray. The results showed that there were 564 differentially expressed genes greater than twofold during gland morphogenesis. About 60.2% of these genes shares similarity with known genes on GenBank and about 39.8% with no functional description in the database. These described genes may play roles in defense response, response to oxidative stress, peroxidase activity, and the other metabolic pathways. The KEGG Orthology-Based Annotation System indicated that these above twofold expressed genes involved seven biochemical pathways on KEGG. These findings suggest that a complicated regulation is associated with pigment gland morphogenesis and the associated defense response including gossypol biosynthesis in cotton.

Background/Aim: Six prostate cancer (PCa) susceptibility loci were identified in a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in populations of European decent. However, the associations of these 6 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with PCa has remained tobe clarified in men in Northern China. This study aimed to explore the loci associated with PCa risk in a Northern Chinese population. Methods: Blood samples and clinical information of 289 PCa patients and 288 controls from Beijing and Tianjin were collected. All risk SNPs were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-high resolution melting curve technology and gene sequencing. Associations between PCa and clinical covariates (age at diagnosis, prostate-specific antigen [PSA], Gleason score, tumor stage, and level of aggressiveness) and frequencies of alleles and genotypes of these SNPs were analyzed using genetic statistics. Results: Among the candidate SNPs, 11p15 (rs7127900, A) was associated with PCa risk (P = 0.02, odds ratio [OR] = 1.64, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.09-2.46). Genotypes showed differences between cases and controls on 11p15 (rs7127900, A), 11q13 (rs7931342, T), and HNF1B (rs4430796, A) (P = 0.03, P = 0.01, and P = 0.04, respectively). The genotype TG on 11q13 (rs7931342, T) was positively associated with an increased Gleason score (P = 0.04, OR = 2.15, 95% CI = 1.02-4.55). Patients carrying TG on 17q24 (rs1859962, G) were negatively associated with an increased body mass index (BMI) (P = 0.03, OR = 0.44, 95% CI = 0.21-0.92) while those with AG on HNF1B (rs4430796, A) were more likely to have PSA increase (P = 0.002). Conclusion: Our study suggests that 11p15 (rs7127900, A) could be a susceptibility locus associated with PCa in Northern Chinese. Genotype TG on 11q13 (rs7931342, T) could be related to an increased Gleason score, AG on HNF1B (rs4430796, A) could be associated with PSA increase, and TG on 17q24 (rs1859962, G) could be negatively associated with an increased BMI in Chinese men with PCa.

ZnO nanorods were grown on glass substrates coated by an Al-doped ZnO seed layer via a simple solvothermal method using zinc acetate dihydrate (Zn(CH3COO)2 • 2H2O) and Hexamethylenetetramine (C6H12N4) reagent. The structure, morphology and optical properties of these ZnO nanorods dependence on the molar ratio of Zn(CH3COO)2 • 2H2O to C6H12N4 were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Ultraviolet and Visible Spectrophotometry (UV-vis) and photoluminescence (PL) spectrometry, respectively. The XRD patterns indicated that all the ZnO nanorods were well-faceted hexagonal structures and preferentially grown along the c-axis. As the molar ratio of Zn(CH3COO)2 • 2H2O to C6H12N4 decreasing from 2.5 to 0.25, the crystallinity of ZnO nanorods synthesized gradually became inferior and the width of ZnO nanorods also decreased. The blue-shifts of UV emission excited from ZnO nanorods probably arised from the decreased size of ZnO nanorods.

The presence of lung cancer cells in anoxic zones is a key cause od chemotherapeutic resistance. Thus, it is necessary to enhance the sensitivity of such lung cancer cells. However, loss of efficient gene therapeutic targeting and inefficient objective gene expression in the anoxic zone in lung cancer are dilemmas. In the present study, a eukaryotic expression plasmid pUC57-HRE-JAB1 driven by a hypoxia response elements promoter was constructed and introduced into lung cancer cell line A549. The cells were then exposed to a chemotherapeutic drug cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (C-DDP). qRT-PCR and western blotting were used to determine the mRNA and protein level and flow cytometry to examine the cell cycle and apoptosis of A549 transfected pUC57-HRE-JAB1. The results showed that JAB1 gene in the A549 was overexpressed after the transfection, cell proliferation being arrested in G1 phase and the apoptosis ratio significantly increased. Importantly, introduction of pUC57-HRE-JAB1 significantly increased the chemotherapeutic sensitivity of A549 in an anoxic environment. In conclusion, JAB1 overexpression might provide a novel strategy to overcome chemotherapeutic resistance in lung cancer.
Low Cost Fabrication of UV Photodetector Based on Hexagonal Nanocrystal ZnO:Al/p-Si Heterojunction
Li Duan,Feng Wei,Jibin Fan,Xiaochen Yu,Wenxue Zhang,Yan Zhang,Fengni He,Xiaojiao Cheng,Ye Tian 성균관대학교(자연과학캠퍼스) 성균나노과학기술원 2016 NANO Vol.11 No.2
ZnO:Al/p-Si heterojunction was fabricated by depositing a hexagonal nanocrystal ZnO:Al film on p-type Si substrate using a simple chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The vertically aligned hexagonal ZnO:Al nanocrystals reduce the grain boundary scattering and provide good conductivity. The ZnO:Al/Si heterojunction shows obvious photocurrent under ultraviolet (UV) illumination. A high UV-to-visible rejection ratio of the ZnO:Al/Si heterojunction indicates that the hexagonal nanocrystal ZnO:Al film is a good material for fabricating UV photodetectors. Furthermore, the response speed of the photodetector based on ZnO:Al hexagonal nanocrystal film is faster than that of most previously reported photodetectors based on ZnO:Al nanorods. We infer it is because the ZnO:Al nanocrystals film has a smaller surface to volume ratio than the ZnO:Al nanorod array.

Ultra-high-purity (UHP) electronic-grade octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) is the key precursor of lowdielectricconstant (low-k) SiCOH films to manufacture integrated circuits (IC), meeting the stringentrequirements of the rapidly developing semiconductor industry. Commonly, metallic impurities in D4were removed by multiple unit operations of adsorption, filtration, and distillation, which could reducethe concentration of a single metallic impurity below 1 ppb. However, D4 with higher purity is requiredby semiconductor production due to an increase in transistor density. Herein, a novel method based onthe integrated simultaneous distillation–extraction (SDE) was developed for manufacturing UHPelectronic-grade D4. The lab and pilot scale experiments showed that the purity of water and D4 has apositive correlation. Based on the experimental data, a double-column process, consisting of azeotropic/extractive distillation column and precision distillation column with UNIQUAC method, was establishedto access the feasibility of scaling up the SDE process. According to the simulation results, D4with the purity > 99.999 wt.% and total metallic impurities (TMI) content below 1 ppb could be obtainedusing ultra-pure water.
