ABSTRACTS
Development of a rapid and sensitive method for Aβ(1-42) aggregation detection is of great importance to overcome the limitations of conventional techniques. In this study, we developed a label-free paper-based electrochemiluminescence sensor for amyloid-β aggregation detection toward potential diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The paper-based chip used in the system serves as a low-cost and disposable detection method. In this detection platform, the bonding of [Ru(phen)2dppz]2+ to Aβ(1-42) aggregates results in enhanced electrochemiluminescence due to the change in the polarity of the microenvironment when [Ru(phen)2dppz]2+intercalated into the β-sheets during oligomerization. The oligomerization process of Aβ(1-42) can be monitored in real time by the novel method, and as low as 100 pM equivalent monomer concentration of Aβ(1-42) could be detected simultaneously. In addition, the cerebrospinal fluid of transgenic AD model mice was tested by this method, which is highly consistent with genetic identification. In addition, we demonstrated that this detection platform could be a potential new method for the screening of Aβ(1-42) aggregation inhibitors, highlighting the practical application capacity of this platform. The platform is label free, low cost and sensitive. Therefore, the proposed platform holds great promise for the diagnosis of AD.

Efficient siRNA transfer to knockdown a placenta specific lncRNA using RGD-modified nano-liposome: A new preeclampsia-like mouse model

Author：Qianwen Yu, Yue Qiu, Xuhui Wang, Jiajing Tang,  Yayuan Liu, Ling Mei, Man Li, Ming Yang, Li Tang, Huile Gao, Zhirong Zhang, Wenming Xu, Qin He     《International Journal of Pharmaceutics》 ABSTRACTS Preeclampsia is one of the most serious pregnancy complications. Many animal models have already been developed by researchers to study the pathogenesis and treatment of preeclampsia. However, most of these animal models were established by  systemic administration   or by surgery in the uterine cavity, which could lead to unwanted systemic toxicity or operative wounds and affect the accuracy of the results.

Deubiquitinating enzyme USP9X regulates cellular clock function by modulating the ubiquitination and degradation of a core circadian protein BMAL1

Author：Yang Zhang, Chunyan Duan, Jing Yang, Suping Chen,  Qing Liu, Liang Zhou, Zhengyun Huang, Ying Xu, Guoqiang Xu     《Biochemical Journal》 ABSTRACTS Living organisms on the earth maintain a roughly 24 h circadian rhythm, which is regulated by circadian clock genes as well as their protein products. Post-translational modifications of core clock proteins could affect the circadian behavior. Although ubiquitination of core clock proteins was studied extensively, the reverse process, deubiquitination, has only begun to unfold and the role of this regulation on circadian function is not completely understood. Here, we use affinity purification and mass spectrometry analysis to identify probable ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase FAF-X (USP9X) as an interacting protein of the core clock protein aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-like protein 1 (ARNTL or BMAL1). Through biochemical experiments, we discover that USP9X reduces BMAL1 ubiquitina...

α-Conotoxin ImI-modified polymeric micelles as potential nanocarriers for targeted docetaxel delivery to α7-nAChR overexpressed non-small cell lung cancer

Author：Dong Mei, Libo Zhao, Binlong Chen, Xiaoyan Zhang,  Xiaoling Wang, Zhiying Yu, Xin Ni & Qiang Zhang     《Drug Delivery》 ABSTRACTS A micelle system modified with α-Conotoxin ImI (ImI), a potently antagonist for alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR) previously utilized for targeting breast cancer, was constructed. Its targeting efficiency and cytotoxicity against non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) highly expressing α7-nAChR was investigated. A549, a non-small cell lung cancer cell line, was selected as the cell model. The cellular uptake study showed that the optimal modification ratio of ImI on micelle surface was 5% and ImI-modification increased intracellular delivery efficiency to A549 cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis. Intracellular Ca 2+   transient assay demonstrated that ImI modification led to enhanced molecular interaction between nanocarriers and A549 cells. The  in vivo   near-infrared fluorescence im...
