Fumigaclavine C (FC), an active indole alkaloid, is obtained from endophytic Aspergillus terreus (strain No. FC118) by the root of Rhizophora stylosa (Rhizophoraceae). This study is designed to evaluate whether FC has anti-adipogenic effects in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and whether it ameliorates lipid accumulation in highfat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice. FC notably increased the levels of glycerol in the culture supernatants and markedly reduced lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. FC differentially inhibited the expressions of adipogenesis-related genes, including the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor proteins, CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins, and sterol regulatory element-binding proteins. FC markedly reduced the expressions of lipid synthesis-related genes, such as the fatty acid binding protein, lipoprotein lipase, and fatty acid synthase. Furthermore, FC significantly increased the expressions of lipolysis-related genes, such as the hormone-sensitive lipase, Aquaporin- 7, and adipose triglyceride lipase. In HFD-induced obese mice, intraperitoneal injections of FC decreased both the body weight and visceral adipose tissue weight. FC administration significantly reduced lipid accumulation. Moreover, FC could dosedependently and differentially regulate the expressions of lipid metabolism-related transcription factors. All these data indicated that FC exhibited anti-obesity effects through modulating adipogenesis and lipolysis.

Graphene-based nanomaterials have been used as biomaterials to enhance cell adhesion, growth, anddifferentiation. However, the effect of graphene materials on cancer cell behavior has not been thoroughly investigated. Herein, we have incorporated graphene oxide (GO) into cellulose acetate (CA) to develop nanofibrous scaffolds for in vitrocancer cell culture, which is a crucial step for drug screening and cancer research. The GO/CA scaffolds were seeded withbreast cancer cells and cell viability, proliferation, adhesion, infiltration, and morphology were assessed. Mechanicalcharacterization demonstrated that the mechanical properties of GO/CA scaffolds were significantly better than bare CAscaffold and improved with increasing GO content. More importantly, the in vitro cell studies showed that the cancer cells onGO/CA scaffolds had significantly higher viability and better cell adhesion and growth than bare CA. Our results confirm animportant role of GO in improving mechanical properties and cancer cell performance on GO/CA scaffolds. These resultssuggest the potential of the GO/CA scaffolds as a promising candidate for in vitro cancer models.

Dimethyl Cardamonin Exhibits Anti-inflammatory Effects via Interfering with the PI3K-PDK1-PKCα Signaling Pathway

( Wan-guo Yu ),( Hao He ),( Jing-yun Yao ),( Yi-xiang Zhu ),( Yan-hua Lu ) 한국응용약물학회 2015 Biomolecules & Therapeutics(구 응용약물학회지) Vol.23 No.6

Consumption of herbal tea [flower buds of Cleistocalyx operculatus (Roxb.) Merr. et Perry (Myrtaceae)] is associated with health beneficial effects against multiple diseases including diabetes, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease. Emerging evidences have reported that High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is considered as a key late proinflammatory factor by its unique secretion pattern in aforementioned diseases. Dimethyl cardamonin (2′,4′-dihydroxy-6′-methoxy-3′,5′-dimethylchalcone, DMC) is a major ingredient of C. operculatus flower buds. In this study, the anti-inflammatory effects of DMC and its underlying molecular mechanisms were investigated on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced macrophages. DMC notably suppressed the mRNA expressions of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and HMGB1, and also markedly decreased their productions in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Intriguingly, DMC could notably reduce LPS-stimulated HMGB1 secretion and its nucleo-cytoplasmic translocation. Furthermore, DMC dose-dependently inhibited the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 (PDK1), and protein kinase C alpha (PKCα). All these data demonstrated that DMC had anti-inflammatory effects through reducing both early (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6) and late (HMGB1) cytokines expressions via interfering with the PI3K-PDK1-PKCα signaling pathway.

Study on the oil/water separation performance of a super-hydrophobic copper mesh under downhole conditions

Yao Lu,Zhe Li,Gebremariam Hailu,Derong Xu,Hairong Wu,Wanli Kang 한국공업화학회 2019 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.72 No.-

The existing downhole oil–water separation (DOWS) technology has disadvantages in terms ofseparation efficiency, cost, complexity, etc. The novelfiltration separation technology using metalmeshes has been investigated and it displays the potential to increase DOWS efficiency. In current study, asuper-hydrophobic copper mesh was fabricated by a simple dip-coating method and then characterized. Focusing on the application in DOWS technology, the separation of the mesh materials in the liftingprocess of produced liquid from the wellbore was simulated and investigated by a designed indoor devicefor thefirst time. The results show that the highly hydrophobic copper mesh with water contact angle of153 can be obtained by oxidizing 40 min, followed by immersing in a 50 g L 1 stearic acid solution for25 min. The mesh can keep super-hydrophobicity and high separation stability after treatment at 100 Cor in the pH range of 5–7, while the separation efficiency is susceptible to the oil viscosity and the claycontents of the producedfluids. The super-hydrophobic copper mesh can be a promising candidate forDOWS in moderate condition. The inherent separation mechanism was further discussed by the variationof wettability and surface structure in microscopic scale.

Effect of Ion Source Current on the Microstructure and Properties of Cr-DLC Coatings Prepared by Ion Beam-Assisted Arc Ion Plating

Yao Cai,Huidong Liu,Ye Ma,Qiang Wan,Hao Cheng,Yan Liu,Yanming Chen,Qingsong Mei,Bing Yang 성균관대학교(자연과학캠퍼스) 성균나노과학기술원 2017 NANO Vol.12 No.5

Cr-containing diamond-like carbon (Cr-DLC) nanocomposite coatings were synthesized by ion beam-assisted arc ion plating with varying hollow cathode ion source (HCIS) currents. The morphologies, compositions and microstructures were characterized by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-Ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Hardness and friction coefficient were investigated by using nanoindentation and ball-on-disc tribometer, respectively. With no HCIS current, the coating exhibits the maximal growth rate and a rough surface, as well as lower hardness and elastic modulus. With the increasing HCIS current from 40 A to 80 A, the growth rate and the content of chromium carbide decrease obviously, the sp3/sp2 ratio increases initially to the maximum at the HCIS current of 60 A, the highest hardness and elastic modulus are obtained at the HCIS current of 50 A. It is also revealed that moderate HCIS current can reduce surface roughness obviously and promote tribological properties. The correlation of the HCIS current with the microstructure and performance of Cr-DLC coating has been established.

In the present study, the ballistic impact resistance of kevlar reinforced polymer composites and shape memoryalloy sheet reinforced kevlar epoxy polymer composites have been compared numerically and experimentally. The testspecimens have been fabricated by the hand layup method, and the ballistic impact test has been conducted accordingto NIJ Level IIIA. In the current research, a new method has been proposed to measure the ballistic impact resistanceof the material by using Image J software. From the test results, it has been observed that reinforcement of shape memoryalloy in kevlar epoxy polymer composites has increased the ballistic impact resistance by 89-145% for the damaged areacompared with plain kevlar reinforced epoxy polymer composite. Also, the damaged area observed in the numerical andthe experimental results is almost the same.

Gloeostereum incarnatum has edible and medicinal value and was first cultivated and domesticated in China. We sequenced the G. incarnatum monokaryotic strain GiC-126 on an Illumina HiSeq X Ten system and obtained a 34.52-Mb genome assembly sequence that encoded 16,895 predicted genes. We combined the GiC-126 genome with the published genome of G. incarnatum strain CCMJ2665 to construct a genetic linkage map (GiC-126 genome) that had 10 linkage groups (LGs), and the 15 assembly sequences of CCMJ2665 were integrated into 8 LGs. We identified 1912 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci and detected 700 genes containing 768 SSRs in the genome; 65 and 100 of them were annotated with gene ontology (GO) terms and KEGG pathways, respectively. Carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) were identified in 20 fungal genomes and annotated; among them, 144 CAZymes were annotated in the GiC-126 genome. The A mating-type locus (MAT-A) of G. incarnatum was located on scaffold885 at 38.9 cM of LG1 and was flanked by two homeodomain (HD1) genes, mip and beta-fg. Fourteen segregation distortion markers were detected in the genetic linkage map, all of which were skewed toward the parent GiC-126. They formed three segregation distortion regions (SDR1-SDR3), and 22 predictive genes were found in scaffold1920 where three segregation distortion markers were located in SDR1. In this study, we corrected and updated the genomic information of G. incarnatum. Our results will provide a theoretical basis for fine gene mapping, functional gene cloning, and genetic breeding the follow-up of G. incarnatum.
