ABSTRACTS
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an important risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) and glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) have been identified to be effective in T2DM treatment and neuroprotection. In this study, we further explored the effects of a novel unimolecular GLP‐1/GIP/Gcg triagonist on the cognitive behavior and cerebral pathology in the 7‐month‐old triple transgenic mouse model of AD (3xTg‐AD), and investigated its possible electrophysiological and molecular mechanisms. After chronic administration of the GLP‐1/GIP/Gcg triagonist (10 nmol/kg bodyweight, once daily, i.p.) for 30 days, open field, Y maze and Morris water maze tests were performed, followed by in vivoelectrophysiological recording, immunofluorescence and Western blotting experiments. We found that the chronic treatment with the triagonist could improve long‐term spatial memory of 3xTg‐AD mice in Morris water maze, as well as the working memory in Y maze task. The triagonist also alleviated the suppression of long‐term potentiation (LTP) in the CA1 region of hippocampus. In addition, the triagonist significantly reduced hippocampal pathological damages, including amyloid‐β (Aβ) and phosphorylated tau aggregates, and upregulated the expression levels of S133p‐CREB, T286p‐CAMKII and S9p‐GSK3β in the hippocampus of the 3xTg‐AD mice. These results demonstrate for the first time that the novel GLP‐1/GIP/Gcg triagonist is efficacious in ameliorating cognitive deficits and pathological damages of 3xTg‐AD mice, suggesting that the triagonist might be potentially beneficial in the treatment of AD.

The Catalytically Inactive Mutation of the Ubiquitin-Conjugating Enzyme CDC34 Affects its Stability and Cell Proliferation

Author：Xun Liu, Yang Zhang, Zhanhong Hu, Qian Li, Lu Yang,  Guoqiang Xu     《The Protein Journal》 ABSTRACTS The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) plays important roles in the regulation of protein stability, localization, and activity. A myriad of studies have focused on the functions of ubiquitin ligases E3s and deubiquitinating enzymes DUBs due to their specificity in the recognition of downstream substrates. However, the roles of the most ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes E2s are not completely understood except that they transport the activated ubiquitin and form E2–E3 protein complexes. Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme CDC34 can promote the degradation of downstream targets through the UPS whereas its non-catalytic functions are still elusive. Here, we find that mutation of the catalytically active cysteine to serine (C93S) results in the reduced ubiquitination, increased stability, and attenuated degradation rate of CDC34. Through semi-quantitative proteom...

A Quasi-direct LC-MS/MS-based Targeted Proteomics Approach for miRNA Quantification via a Covalently Immobilized DNA-peptide Probe

Author：Liang Liu, Qingqing Xu, Shuai Hao & Yun Chen     《Scientific Reports》 ABSTRACTS MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a vital role in regulating gene expression and are associated with a variety of cancers, including breast cancer. Their distorted and unique expression is a potential marker in clinical diagnoses and prognoses. Thus, accurate determination of miRNA expression levels is a prerequisite for their applications. However, the assays currently available for miRNA detection typically require pre-enrichment, amplification and labeling steps, and most of the assays are only semi-quantitative. Therefore, we developed a quasi-direct liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based targeted proteomics approach to quantify target miRNA by innovatively converting the miRNA signal into the mass response of a reporter peptide  via  a covalently immobilized DNA-peptide probe. Specifically, the probe containing the targeted proteomics-...

Preparation of an antimicrobial surface by direct assembly of antimicrobial peptide with its surface binding activity

Author：Junjian Chen, Yuchen Zhu, Yancheng Song, Lin Wang,  Jiezhao Zhan, Jingcai He, Jian Zheng, Chunting Zhong, Xuetao Shi, Sa Liu, Li Ren and Yingjun Wang     《Journal of Materials Chemistry B》 ABSTRACTS Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a broad prospect for clinical application against bacterial infections of biomaterials. However, a bottleneck exists as there is a lack of simple technology to prepare AMPs on biomaterials with sufficient activity, as the activity of AMP is dependent on the correct orientation on the biomaterial. In the present study, based on the conventional AMP (Tet213: KRWWKWWRRC) and surface binding peptide (SKHKGGKHKGGKHKG), we designed an Anchor-AMP that could be directly assembled onto the surface of the biomaterial and also showed excellent antimicrobial activity. By characterizing the surface using a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D), contact angle, atom force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectr...
