| 1 | Secondary metabolites of petri-dish cultured Antrodia camphorata and their hepatoprotective activities against alcohol-induced liver injury in mice显示文摘Antrodia camphorata, a well-known and highly valued edible medicinal mushroom with intriguing activities like liver protection, has been traditionally used for the treatment of alcoholic liver disease. A. camphorata shows highly medicinal and commercial values with the demand far exceeds the available supply. Thus, the petri-dish cultured A. camphorata(PDCA) is expected to develope as a substitute. In this paper, nineteen triterpenes were isolated from PDCA, and thirteen of them were the unique anthroic acids in A. camphorata, including the main content antcin K, which suggested that PDCA produced a large array of the same anthroic acids as the wild one. Furthermore, no obvious acute toxicity was found suggesting the edible safety of PDCA. In mice alcohol-induced liver injury model, triglyceride(TG), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), and malondialdehyde(MDA) had been reduced by the PDCA powder as well as the main content antcin K, which indicated that the PDCA could protect alcoholic liver injury in mice model and antcin K could be the effective component responsible for the hepatoprotective activities of PDCA against alcoholic liver diseases. | WU Yu TIAN Wen-Jing GAO Shuo LIAO Zu-Jian WANG Guang-Hui LO Jir-Mehng LIN Pei-Hsin ZENG De-Quan QIU Da-Ren LIU Xiang-Zhong ZHOU Mi LIN Ting CHEN Hai-Feng | 2019 | Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines2019,17,1: | 4 |
| 2 | Differences in atheroma between Caucasian and Asian subjects with anterior stroke:A vessel wall MRI study显示文摘Background and purpose While extracranial carotid artery stenosis is more common among Caucasians and intracranial artery stenosis is more common among Asians,the differences in atherosclerotic plaque characteristics have not yet been extensively examined.We sought to investigate plaque location and characteristics within extracranial carotid and intracranial arteries in symptomatic Caucasians and Chinese using vessel wall MRI.Methods Subjects with recent anterior circulation ischaemic stroke were recruited and imaged at two sites in the USA and China using similar protocols.Both extracranial carotid and intracranial arteries were reviewed to determine plaque location and characteristics.Results The prevalence of extracranial carotid plaque in Caucasians and Chinese was 73.1%and 49.1%,respectively(p=0.055).Prevalence of intracranial plaque was 38.5%and 69.1%in Caucasians and Chinese,respectively(p=0.02).Furthermore,42% of Caucasians and 16%of Chinese had high-risk plaque(HRP)features(intraplaque haemorrhage,luminal surface disruption)in the extracranial carotid artery(p=0.03).The prevalence of HRP features in intracranial arteries was not significantly different between the two cohorts(4%vs 11%;p=0.42).Conclusions Differences in the location and characteristics of cerebrovascular atherosclerosis were identified by vessel wall MRI in US Caucasian and Chinese subjects with recent anterior circulation ischaemic stroke.Extracranial carotid plaques with HRP features were more common in Caucasians.Intracranial plaques were more common in Chinese subjects,but no significant difference between the two cohorts in intracranial HRP prevalence was found.Larger studies using vessel wall imaging to investigate racial differences in cerebrovascular disease may inform underlying mechanisms of HRP development and may ultimately help guide appropriate therapy. | Hiroko Watase Mi Shen Binbin Sui Peiyi Gao Dong Zhang Jie Sun Niranjan Balu Daniel S Hippe Gail P Jarvik Xihai Zhao Rui Li Shuo Chen Chun Yuan Thomas S Hatsukami | 2021 | Stroke & Vascular Neurology2021,6,1: | 4 |
| 3 | Advanced atomic force microscopies and their applications in two-dimensional materials:a review显示文摘Scanning probe microscopy(SPM)allows the spatial imaging,measurement,and manipulation of nano and atomic scale surfaces in real space.In the last two decades,numerous advanced and functional SPM methods,particularly atomic force microscopy(AFM),have been developed and applied in various research fields,from mapping sample morphology to measuring physical properties.Herein,we review the recent progress in functional AFM methods and their applications in studies of two-dimensional(2D)materials,particularly their interfacial physical properties on the substrates.This review can inspire more exciting application works using advanced AFM modes in the 2D and functional materials fields. | Rui Xu Jianfeng Guo Shuo Mi Huanfei Wen Fei Pang Wei Ji Zhihai Cheng | 2022 | Materials Futures2022,1,3: | 0 |
| 4 | Epitaxial fabrication of AgTe monolayer on Ag(111)and the sequential growth of Te film显示文摘Transition-metal chalcogenides(TMCs)materials have attracted increasing interest both for fundamental research and industrial applications.Among all these materials,two-dimensional(2D)compounds with honeycomb-like structure possess exotic electronic structures.Here,we report a systematic study of TMC monolayer AgTe fabricated by direct depositing Te on the surface of Ag(111)and annealing.Few intrinsic defects are observed and studied by scanning tunneling microscopy,indicating that there are two kinds of AgTe domains and they can form gliding twin-boundary.Then,the monolayer AgTe can serve as the template for the following growth of Te film.Meanwhile,some Te atoms are observed in the form of chains on the top of the bottom Te film.Our findings in this work might provide insightful guide for the epitaxial growth of 2D materials for study of novel physical properties and for future quantum devices. | Haoyu Dong Le Lei Shuya Xing Jianfeng Guo Feiyue Cao Shangzhi Gu Yanyan Geng Shuo Mi Hanxiang Wu Yan Jun Li Yasuhiro Sugawara Fei Pang Wei Ji Rui Xu Zhihai Cheng | 2021 | Frontiers of physics2021,16,6: | 0 |
| 5 | Antigen-induced chimeric antigen receptor multimerization amplifies on-tumor cytotoxicity显示文摘Ligand-induced receptor dimerization or oligomerization is a widespread mechanism for ensuring communication specificity,safeguarding receptor activation,and facilitating amplification of signal transduction across the cellular membrane.However,cell-surface antigeninduced multimerization(dubbed AIM herein)has not yet been consciously leveraged in chimeric antigen receptor(CAR)engineering for enriching T cell-based therapies.We co-developed ciltacabtagene autoleucel(cilta-cel),whose CAR incorporates two B-cell maturation antigen(BCMA)-targeted nanobodies in tandem,for treating multiple myeloma.Here we elucidated a structural and functional model in which BCMA-induced cilta-cel CAR multimerization amplifies myeloma-targeted T cell-mediated cytotoxicity.Crystallographic analysis of BCMA–nanobody complexes revealed atomic details of antigen–antibody hetero-multimerization whilst analytical ultracentrifugation and small-angle X-ray scattering characterized interdependent BCMA apposition and CAR juxtaposition in solution.BCMA-induced nanobody CAR multimerization enhanced cytotoxicity,alongside elevated immune synapse formation and cytotoxicity-mediating cytokine release,towards myeloma-derived cells.Our results provide a framework for contemplating the AIM approach in designing next-generation CARs. | Yan Sun Xiu-Na Yang Shuang-Shuang Yang Yi-Zhu Lyu Bing Zhang Kai-Wen Liu Na Li Jia-Chen Cui Guang-Xiang Huang Cheng-Lin Liu Jie Xu Jian-Qing Mi Zhu Chen Xiao-Hu Fan Sai-Juan Chen Shuo Chen | 2024 | Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy2024,9,1: | 0 |
