ABSTRACTS
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in the pediatric age group, and chemotherapy directed by targeted nanoparticulate drug delivery system represents a promising approach for osteosarcoma treatment recently. Here, we designed and developed a novel DOX-loaded targeted polymeric micelle self-assembled from RGD-terminated poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly (trimethylene carbonate) (RGD-PEG-PTMC) amphiphilic biodegradable block copolymer, for high-efficiency targeted chemotherapy of osteosarcoma. Notably, the RGD-installed DOX-loaded biodegradable polymeric micelle (RGD-DOX-PM) with drug loading efficiency of 57%–73% displayed a narrow distribution (PDI = 0.05–0.12) with average sizes ranging from 46 to 73 nm depending on the DOX loading content. The release amount of DOX from RGD-DOX-PM achieved 63% within 60 h under physiological condition. Interestingly, MTT assays in MG-63 and MNNG/HOS osteosarcoma cells exhibited that half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of RGD-DOX-PM was much lower than its non-targeted counterpart (DOX-PM), implying RGD decorated nanoparticles had enhanced cell targeting ability and led to more effective anti-tumor effect. Furthermore, the targeting ability of RGD-DOX-PM was confirmed by in vitroflow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) imaging assays, where the results showed more RGD-DOX-PM were taken up by MG-63 cells than that of DOX-PM. Therefore, this RGD decorated DOX-loaded polymeric micelle is promising for targeted chemotherapy of osteosarcoma.

Targeting the leptin receptor: To evaluate therapeutic efficacy and anti-tumor effects of Doxil, in vitro and in vivo in mice bearing C26 colon carcinoma tumor

Author：Shahrzad Amiri Darban, Sara Nikoofal-Sahlabadi,  Nafise Amiri, Nafiseh Kiamanesh, Amin Mehrabian, Bamdad Zendehbad, Zahra Gholizadeh, Mahmoud Reza Jaafari     《Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces》 ABSTRACTS Leptin is an appetite regulatory hormone that is secreted into the blood circulation by the adipose tissue and it functions via its over expressed receptors (Ob-R) in a wide variety of cancers. In the present study, the function of a leptin-derived peptide (LP16, 91–110 of Leptin) was investigated as a targeting ligand to decorate PEGylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD, Doxil ? ) surface and the anti-tumor activity and therapeutic efficacy of Doxil in C26 (Colon Carcinoma) tumor model were also evaluated. As a result of this, Doxil with different LP16 peptide density (25, 50, 100 and 200 peptide on the surface of each liposome) was successfully prepared and characterized. In vitro results showed significant enhanced cytotoxicity and cellular b...

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...

Electrochemical deposition of dopamine–hyaluronic acid conjugates for anti-biofouling bioelectrodes

文献作者：Semin Kim, Yohan Jang, Lindy K. Jang, Sung Hyuk Sunwoo, Tae-il Kim, Seung-Woo Cho and Jae Young Lee     《Journal of Materials Chemistry B》 ABSTRACTS Bioelectrodes have been widely used to effectively mediate electrical signals with biological systems for various biomedical applications, such as biosensors and prosthetic probes. However, the electrical properties of bioelectrodes are frequently degraded in the biological milieu due to biofouling of bioelectrode surfaces. Hence, the development of simple and effective strategies for bioelectrode surface modification is important for the mitigation of biofouling. To this end, we electrochemically modify electrodes with dopamine-conjugated hyaluronic acid (DA–HA); the modified electrodes exhibit highly hydrophilic surfaces. In addition, the electrochemical impedance of the DA–HA-modified electrodes remains similar to those of bare electrodes. The DA–HA-modified electrodes showed reduced non-specific protein ...
