This study aimed to investigate the individual and synergistic antioxidant effects of dipeptides in vitro. Based on a study of amino acid antioxidant activities, 36 dipeptides were chosen. All their individual antioxidant effects were tested in in vitro antioxidant evaluation systems, including the DPPH, ABTS, ORAC, and FRAP assays. Based on the results of individual antioxidant effects of these dipeptides, some of them were chosen to study their synergistic antioxidant effects in the four antioxidant assays. The results of the DPPH assay showed that dipeptides containing Cys exhibited radical scavenging activity. The synergistic antioxidant assay indicated that LC and CH, LC and CN, LC and CE, CH and CN, CH and CE, and CN and CE have significant synergistic effects (p?<?0.01) in the DPPH assay. Moreover, the results of the ABTS assay showed that 17 dipeptides have ABTS radical scavenging activities and that all of them contain Cys, Trp, and Tyr residues. Their synergistic antioxidant assay showed that CR and CH, YR and YK, YR and YN, and WK and IW showed highly significant synergistic antioxidant effects (p?<?0.01). The results of the ORAC assay showed that 22 dipeptides possessed ORAC activities and that all of them have one or two Cys, His, Met, Trp, and Tyr residues. The synergistic effects of CH and HL, WK and WR, YK and WR, LC and FM, FM and CH, and WK and IW were significant (p?<?0.01). Finally, in the FRAP assay, six dipeptides showed ferric reducing antioxidant activities and all of them contained the Cys residue. The synergistic antioxidant effects of HV and CN, CK and CN, CH and CN, and CE and CN were also significant (p?<?0.01). These findings indicate that the individual and synergistic antioxidant effects of dipeptides are related to their constituent amino acids. These results may help study other individual and synergistic antioxidant effects of dipeptides.

Image-guided stem cells with functionalized self-assembling peptide nanofibers for treatment of acute myocardial infarction in a mouse model

文献作者：Xiao Li, Ying-Ying Chen, Xiu-Mei Wang, Kai Gao, Yun-Zhou Gao, Jian Cao, Zhuo-Li Zhang, Jing Lei, Zheng-Yu Jin, and Yi-Ning Wang     《American Journal of Translational Research》 ABSTRACTS Aim: To investigate the survival of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and the therapeutic effect for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after co-transplantation with the functionalized self-assembling peptide nanofiber RAD/PRG or RAD/KLT. Methods: AMI of balb/c mice was induced. Mice were randomly divided into four groups, and received treatment of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (Group A), GFP/Fluc-BMSCs (Group B), GFP/Fluc-BMSCs + RAD/PRG (Group C), and GFP/Fluc-BMSCs + RAD/KLT (Group D), respectively. Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) was performed on day 1 (d-1), d-4, d-7, d-10, and d-13 after transplantation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed at baseline (d-4 before transplantation) and d-29 after treatment. Mice were euthanized on d-29 following tr...

The therapeutic effect of anti-CD52 treatment in murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis is associated with altered IL-33 and ST2 expression levels

文献作者：Mark Barbour, Rachel Wood, Shehla U.Hridi, Chelsey Wilson, Grant McKay, Trevor J.Bushell, Hui-Rong Jiang   《Journal of Neuroimmunology》 ABSTRACTS Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis  (EAE) mice were administered with murine anti-CD52  antibody  to investigate its therapeutic effect and whether the treatment modulates IL-33 and ST2 expression. EAE severity and  central nervous system  (CNS) inflammation were reduced following the treatment, which was accompanied by peripheral  T and B lymphocyte  depletion and reduced production of various  cytokines  including IL-33, while sST2 was increased. In spinal cords of EAE mice, while the number of IL-33 +  cells remained unchanged, the extracellular level of IL-33 protein was significantly reduced in anti-CD52 antibody treated mice compared with controls. Furthermore the number of ST2 +  cells in the spinal cord of treated EAE mice was  downregulated ...

Near-infrared light-activated red-emitting upconverting nanoplatform for T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and photodynamic therapy

Author：Xiang-long Tang, Jun Wu, Ben-lan Lin, Sheng Cui, Hong-mei Liu, Ru-tong Yu, Xiao-dong Shen, Ting-wei Wang, Wei Xia     《Acta Biomaterialia》 ABSTRACTS Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has increasingly become an efficient and attractive cancer treatment modality based on reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can induce tumor death after  irradiation   with ultraviolet or visible light. Herein, to overcome the limited tissue penetration in traditional PDT, a novel near-infrared (NIR) light-activated NaScF4: 40% Yb, 2% Er@CaF2  upconversion  nanoparticle   (rUCNP) is successfully designed and synthesized.  Chlorin   e6, a  photosensitizer   and a chelating agent for Mn2+, is loaded into  human serum albumin   (HSA) that further conjugates onto rUCNPs. To increase the ability to target glioma tumor, an acyclic  Arg–Gly–Asp peptide   (cRGDyK) is linked to rUCNPs@HSA(Ce6-Mn). This nanoplatform enables e...
