ABSTRACTS
Proteases perform essential functions in a multitude of physiological processes and participate in many human diseases. Probing protease activity sensitively and accurately is critical for both basic research and clinical diagnosis. Herein, a novel optical biosensor for high-sensitive detection of protease was developed based on the specific protease cleavage of synthesized peptide substrate and subsequent assembly between exposed cysteine and Ru(bpy)32+-2-cyanobenzothiazole (Ru(bpy)32+-CBT). The assembly complexes can be enriched by streptavidin coated magnetic beads on work electrode for high-sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) analysis. Using trypsase and caspase-3 as the examples, the limit of detection (LOD) of 8.4?×?10?4?U?mL?1 and 5?×?10?6?U?mL?1 were obtained respectively. This represents one of most sensitive protease assay reported. Current peptide cleavage induced assembly (PCIA) method can be easily extended to detect other proteases by changing peptide substrate sequence, shows its great potential as versatile biosensor in sensing techniques and clinical diagnosis.

    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...
