Observation of a Strongly Isospin-Mixed Doublet in ^{26}Si via β-Delayed Two-Proton Decay of ^{26}P. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2022; 129:242502.

Abstract
β decay of proton-rich nuclei plays an important role in exploring isospin mixing. The β decay of ^{26}P at the proton drip line is studied using double-sided silicon strip detectors operating in conjunction with high-purity germanium detectors. The T=2 isobaric analog state (IAS) at 13 055 keV and two new high-lying states at 13 380 and 11 912 keV in ^{26}Si are unambiguously identified through β-delayed two-proton emission (β2p). Angular correlations of two protons emitted from ^{26}Si excited states populated by ^{26}P β decay are measured, which suggests that the two protons are emitted mainly sequentially. We report the first observation of a strongly isospin-mixed doublet that deexcites mainly via two-proton decay. The isospin mixing matrix element between the ^{26}Si IAS and the nearby 13 380-keV state is determined to be 130(21) keV, and this result represents the strongest mixing, highest excitation energy, and largest level spacing of a doublet ever observed in β-decay experiments.

Abstract
The efficiency of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated cancer therapy is restrained by intrinsic characteristics in the tumor microenvironment (TME), such as overexpressed glutathione (GSH), hypoxia and limited efficiency of H2 O2 . In this work, intelligent copper-dropped calcium carbonate loading sonosensitizer Ce6 nanoparticles (Cu/CaCO3 @Ce6, CCC NPs) are established to realize TME-responsive self-supply of oxygen and successively Ca2+ -overloading-strengthened chemodynamic therapy/sonodynamic therapy (CDT/SDT). CCC NPs release Ca2+ , Cu2+ , and Ce6 in weakly acid and GSH-excessive TME. Released Cu2+ can not only consume GSH and turn into Cu+ via a redox reaction, but also provide CDT-creating hydroxyl radicals through the Fenton-like reaction. Under ultrasound irradiation, the intracellular oxidative stress is amplified profoundly relying on singlet oxygen outburst from SDT. Moreover, Ca2+ influx aggravates the mitochondrial disruption, which further accelerates the oxidation level. The facile and feasible design of the Cu-dropped CaCO3 -based nanoregulators will be further developed as a paradigm in ROS-contributed cancer therapy.

Abstract
In spite of the widespread application of vaccine adjuvants in various preventive vaccines at present, the existing adjuvants are still hindered by weak cellular immunity responses in therapeutic cancer vaccines. Herein, a hollow silica nanoadjuvant containing aluminum hydroxide spikes on the surface (SiAl) is synthesized for the co-loading of chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (Dox) and tumor fragment (TF) as tumor antigens (SiAl@Dox@TF). The obtained nanovaccines show significantly elevated anti-tumor immunity responses thanks to silica and aluminum-based composite nanoadjuvant-mediated tumor antigen release and Dox-induced immunogenic cell death (ICD). In addition, the highest frequencies of dendritic cells (DCs), CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and memory T cells as well as the best mice breast cancer (4T1) tumor growth inhibitory are also observed in SiAl@Dox@TF group, indicating favorable potential of SiAl nanoadjuvants for further applications. This work is believed to provide inspiration for the design of new-style nanoadjuvants and adjuvant-based cancer vaccines.

Abstract
Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) show strong nano-toxic effects on organisms. Hydrogen sulphide (H2 S) plays a pivotal role in plant response to abiotic stress. In this study, we examine the crucial role of the cell wall as regulated by H2 S in response to CuO NPs stress. The digestion method was employed to determine Cu content using atomic absorption spectrometry. The TraKine pro-tubulin staining kit was used to investigate the microtubule cytoskeleton using confocal laser-scanning microscopy. Cell wall component analysis utilized the ICS-3000 HPLC system. Application of H2 S reduced growth inhibition caused by CuO NPs. Furthermore, most of the CuO NPs accumulates in roots, indicating a low transfer rate, and H2 S significantly decreased CuO NPs content in roots, leaves and stems. Subcellular distribution analysis implied most Cu accumulated in root cell walls, and that H2 S reduced the content of Cu in root cell walls. Cortical microtubules in the plasma membrane, guide cell wall biosynthesis. H2 S obviously alleviated microtubule cytoskeleton disorders caused by CuO NPs. In addition, the content of cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin and other monosaccharides in root cell walls was reduced by CuO NPs treatment. H2 S enhanced the monosaccharide and polysaccharide contents compared with that after CuO NPs treatment. In conclusion, H2 S regulates cell wall development in response to CuO NPs stress by stabilizing microtubules. H2 S affected Cu distribution and alleviated growth inhibition of tomato seedlings. The research results provide a theoretical basis for further study of nano-toxicity regulation in plants.

Abstract
Hypoxia and the overexpression of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are conducive to cancer cell proliferation, which greatly hinders cancer treatment. Here, we design a novel TME-responsive therapeutic nanoplatform Co/ZIF-8/ICG/Pt (CZIP) to achieve chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and enhanced photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this nanoplatform, under near-infrared light (NIR) irradiation, the photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) can generate singlet oxygen (1O2) for cancer cell apoptosis. Meanwhile, overexpressed H2O2 in the TME could be catalyzed to generate O2 by the loaded Pt to relieve tumor hypoxia and promote the PDT-induced 1O2 production. In addition, the doped Co2+ could react with H2O2 to produce hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) for CDT. The multifunctional nanoplatform CZIP showed high biosafety and a good antitumor effect, which would provide a new route for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Pyroptosis, which is a mode of programmed cell death, has proven effective for cancer therapy. However, efficient pyroptosis inducers for tumor treatment are limited. This study proposes biodegradable K3ZrF7:Yb/Er upconversion nanoparticles (ZrNPs) as pyroptosis inducers for cancer immunotherapy. ZrNPs, which are similar to ion reservoirs, can be dissolved inside cancer cells and release high amounts of K+ and [ZrF7]3- ions, resulting a surge in intracellular osmolarity and homeostasis imbalance. This further induces an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS), caspase-1 protein activation, gasdermin D (GSDMD) cleavage, and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) maturity, and results in cytolysis. In vivo tests confirm that ZrNPs-induced pyroptosis exhibits superior antitumor immunity activity confirmed by enhanced dendritic cells (DCs) maturity and frequency of effector-memory T cells, as well as observably inhibiting tumor growth and pulmonary metastasis. This work is believed to extend the biomedical applications of upconversion nanomaterials and deepen the understanding of intrinsic immunomodulatory activity of nanomaterials.

Abstract
The limited effect of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) immunotherapy is subjected to the immuno-suppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). It is still a challenge to reverse the immune-suppressive state in clinical cancer therapy. Immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a way for inducing the therapeutical tumor immune system. In this work, carbon monoxide (CO) gas therapy is used to boost antitumor immunity for tumor control, metastasis and recurrence prevention. Briefly, CO2-g-C3N4-Au@ZIF-8@F127 (CCAZF) is proposed to integrate gas therapy and immunotherapy into a photocatalytic nanogenerator for overcoming the limitations of monotherapy. CCAZF exhibits a highly effective light-controllable release behavior of CO, which gradually aggravates the oxidative stress in tumor cells to induce ICD. With the induction of ICD, CO therapy enhances immune responses and enables efficient immune cells activated. When combined with ICB, CCAZF displays an enhanced immune effect, which mediates the regression of primary and distal tumors. This strategy of in-situ photocatalytic CO therapy furthest avoids the toxicity from CO leakage and provides a new method to design novel ICD inducers.

Abstract
Here, deep sequencing results of the maize transcriptome in leaves and roots were compared under high-nitrogen (HN) and low-nitrogen (LN) conditions to identify differentially expressed circRNAs (DECs). Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are covalently closed non-coding RNA with widely regulatory potency that has been identified in animals and plants. However, the understanding of circRNAs involved in responsive nitrogen deficiency remains to be elucidated. A total of 24 and 22 DECs were obtained from the leaves and roots, respectively. Ten circRNAs were validated by divergent and convergent primers, and 6 DECs showed the same expression tendency validated by reverse transcriptase-quantitative PCR. Integrating the identified differentially expressed miRNAs, 34 circRNAs could act as miRNA decoys, which might play important roles in multiple biological processes, including organonitrogen compound biosynthesis and regulation of the metabolic process. A total of 51 circRNA-parent genes located in the genome-wide association study identified loci were assessed between HN and LN conditions and were associated with root growth and development. In summary, our results provide valuable information regarding further study of maize circRNAs under nitrogen deficiency and provide new insights into screening of candidate genes as well as the improvement of maize regarding nitrogen deficiency resistance. CircRNA-miRNA-mRNA co-expression networks were constructed to explore the circRNAs that participated in biological development and nitrogen metabolism.

Abstract
The development and optimization of sonosensitizers for elevating intratumoral reactive oxygen species (ROS) are definitely appealing in current sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Given this, branched vanadium tetrasulfide (VS4 ) nanodendrites with a narrower bandgap (compared with the most extensively explored sonosensitizers) are presented as a new source of sonosensitizer, which allows a more effortless separation of sono-triggered electron-hole pairs for ROS generation. Specifically, platinum (Pt) nanoparticles and endogenous high levels of glutathione (GSH) are rationally engineered to further optimize its sono-sensitized performance. As cocatalyst, Pt is conducive to trapping electrons, whereas GSH, as a natural hole-scavenger, tends to capture holes. Compared with the pristine VS4 sonosensitizer, the GSH-Pt-VS4 nanocomposite can greatly prolong the lifetime of the charge and confer a highly efficacious ROS production activity. Furthermore, such nanoplatforms are capable of reshaping tumor microenvironments to realize ROS overproduction, contributed by overcoming tumor hypoxia to improve SDT-triggered singlet oxygen production, catalyzing endogenic hydrogen peroxide into destructive hydroxyl radicals for chemodynamic therapy, and depleting GSH to amplify intratumoral oxidative stress. All these combined effects result in a significantly efficient tumor suppression outcome. This study enriches sonosensitizer research and proves that sonosensitizers can be rationally optimized by charge separation engineering strategy.

Abstract
The development of novel sonosensitizers with outstanding reactive oxygen (ROS) generation capacity and great biocompatibility poses a significant challenge for the clinical practice of sonodynamic therapy (SDT). In this work, hemoglobin (Hb) with natural metalloporphyrin was first shown to possess great potential as a sonosensitizer. Compared with traditional organic sonosensitizers, Hb had satisfactory sono-sensitizing efficiency because four the porphyrin molecules were separated by four polypeptide chains. This effectively avoided the problem of low ROS quantum yield caused by the stacking of hydrophobic porphyrins. Meanwhile, Hb is an efficient and safe oxygen carrier that may release O2 at hypoxic tumors site, which improved tumor oxygenation and subsequently enhanced SDT efficacy. Therefore, Hb was integrated with zeolitic imidazolate framework 8 (ZIF-8) to form a nanoplatform that demonstrated a potent suppression effect on deep-seated tumors under ultrasound irradiation.

Abstract
Immunotherapy, a strategy that leverages the host immune function to fight against cancer, plays an increasingly important role in clinical tumor therapy. In spite of the great success achieved in not only clinical treatment but also basic research, cancer immunotherapy still faces many huge challenges. Manganese oxide nanomaterials (MONs), as ideal tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive biomaterials, are able to dramatically elicit anti-tumor immune responses in multiple ways, indicating great prospects for immunotherapy. In this review, on the basis of different mechanisms to boost immunotherapy, major highlighted topics are presented, covering adjusting an immunosuppressive TME by generating O2 (like O2-sensitized photodynamic therapy (PDT), programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression downregulation, reprogramming tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), and restraining tumor angiogenesis and lactic acid exhaustion), inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD), photothermal therapy (PTT) induction, activating the stimulator of interferon gene (STING) pathway and immunoadjuvants for nanovaccines. We hope that this review will provide holistic understanding about MONs and their application in cancer immunotherapy, and thus pave the way to the translation from bench to bedside in the future.

Abstract
Of all the reaction oxygen species (ROS) therapeutic strategies, NIR light-induced photocatalytic therapy (PCT) based on semiconductor nanomaterials has attracted increasing attention. However, the photocatalysts suffer from rapid recombination of electron-hole pairs due to the narrow band gaps, which are greatly restricted in PCT application. Herein, Bi2 Se3 /Au heterostructured photocatalysts are fabricated to solve the problems by introducing Au nanoparticles (NPs) in situ on the surface of the hollow mesoporous structured Bi2 Se3 . Owing to the lower work function of Au NPs, the photo-induced electrons are easier to transfer and assemble on their surfaces, resulting in the increased separation of the electron-hole pairs with efficient ROS generation. Besides, Bi2 Se3 /Au heterostructures also enhance the photothermal efficiency due to the effective orbital overlaps with accelerated electron migrations according to density functional theory calculations. Moreover, the PLGA-PEG and the doxorubicin (DOX) are introduced for photothermal-triggered drug release in the system. The Bi2 Se3 /Au heterostructures also displays excellent infrared thermal (IRT) and computed tomography (CT) dual-modal imaging property for promising cancer diagnosis. Collectively, Bi2 Se3 /Au@PLGA-PEG-DOX exhibits prominent tumor inhibition effect based on synchronous PTT, PCT and chemotherapy triggered by NIR light for efficient antitumor treatment.

Abstract
Cancer vaccines are made from tumor-specific antigens, which are then injected back into the body to activate immune responses for cancer immunotherapy. Despite the high specificity and therapeutic efficiency, the vaccine has huge challenges such as complex preparation process, expensiveness and limited durational effects. Herein, a strategy to develop in situ cancer vaccines by enhancing the immunomodulatory effects for immunogenic cell death (ICD) is presented. First, amorphous iron oxide-packaged oxaliplatin (AIOoxp) nanoprodrugs with a high drug loading efficiency of 12.9% were prepared. By utilizing tumor microenvironment (TME) as an endogenous stimulus, this inorganic nanoprodrug can effectively realize TME-responsive combined treatments of chemotherapy and chemodynamic therapy (CDT), and thus achieve dual and precise ICD induction. Further, in vivo immunopotentiation performances further prove that this enhanced ICD effect is able to efficiently promote the maturity of dendritic cells (DCs), T cell activation and correlative cytokine secretion. Furthermore, the obtained nanoprodrugs not only reduce systemic toxicities of Oxp and achieve T1/T2 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but also dramatically inhibit tumor growth and lung metastasis. We believe that the design of in situ cancer vaccines by enhancing the ICD effects will inspire future studies on cancer vaccines.

Abstract
The development of highly efficient, multifunctional, and biocompatible sonosensitizer is still a priority for current sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Herein, a defect-rich Ti-based metal-organic framework (MOF) (D-MOF(Ti)) with greatly improved sonosensitizing effect is simply constructed and used for enhanced SDT. Compared with the commonly used sonosensitizer TiO2 , D-MOF(Ti) results in a superior reactive oxygen species (ROS) yield under ultrasound (US) irradiation due to its narrow bandgap, which principally improves the US-triggered electron-hole separation. Meanwhile, due to the existence of Ti3+ ions, D-MOF(Ti) also exhibits a high level of Fenton-like activity to enable chemodynamic therapy. Particularly, US as the excitation source of SDT can simultaneously enhance the Fenton-like reaction to achieve remarkably synergistic outcomes for oncotherapy. More importantly, D-MOF(Ti) can be degraded and metabolized out of the body after completion of its therapeutic functions without off-target toxicity. Overall, this work identifies a novel Ti-familial sonosensitizer harboring great potential for synergistic sonodynamic and chemodynamic cancer therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the clinical value of combined detection of serum soluble epidermal growth factor receptor (sEGFR), cancer antigen 125 (CA125), and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) in the diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). PATIENTS AND METHODS From December 2017 to October 2018, the serum samples were obtained from the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, with 30 patients as EOC group, 30 patients with benign ovarian neoplasms as benign group, and 17 healthy subjects as healthy group. Besides, among 30 EOC patients, 9 serum samples were obtained from pre-operative and post-operative EOC patients. The levels of serum sEGFR were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), while CA125 and HE4 were detected by enhanced chemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA). The diagnostic value was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. RESULTS The levels of serum sEGFR, CA125, and HE4 in EOC group were significantly higher than those in benign group (p<0.05) and healthy group (p<0.05). When using a single tumor marker, the CA125 shows the highest sensitivity (93.30%) and HE4 shows the highest specificity (97.87%). The specificity of combined detection of serum sEGFR, CA125, and HE4 was 100%, which was significantly higher than that using a single tumor marker. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of combined detection of serum sEGFR, CA125, and HE4 (0.965) was much higher than that of the single detection and higher than that of combined detection of CA125 and HE4 (0.940). Moreover, the level of serum sEGFR in post-operative EOC group was significantly lower than that in the corresponding pre-operative EOC group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our study shows that combined detection of serum sEGFR, CA125, and HE4 increases the specificity and efficiency in EOC diagnosis, indicating that sEGFR could be a potential biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of EOC.

[PMID: 32519199 DOI: 10.1007/s40618-020-01319-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2019] [Accepted: 05/29/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Thionamide-induced agranulocytosis (TIA), namely antithyroid drug (ATD)-induced agranulocytosis, is one of the most feared adverse effect of ATDs. It is defined as a granulocyte count of less than 0.5 × 109/L after ATD administration. Several studies reported that TIA is associated with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and nearby genes. Our previous study found that the susceptibility genes of TIA are similar in north China and European populations. METHODS We evaluated the associations of 23 candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 37 patients with TIA and 254 patients with Graves' disease (GD) as controls by iPLEX MassARRAY system. RESULTS Five SNPs in the MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence A(MICA) genes [rs4349859 (p = 1.43E-7); rs145575084 (p = 5.79E-6); rs116135464 (p = 3.70E-5); rs148015908 (p = 3.79E-5) and rs189600525 (p = 2.15E-4)] were found to be significantly associated with TIA after Bonferroni correction. After combining with previous data of rs4349859 and HLA-B*27:05, the haplotype analysis showed that patients carrying P-A-C-A-T-T-A haplotype have a higher risk of TIA (p = 9.76E-7; OR = 14.85, 95% CI 3.63-60.77). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that five high linked SNPs of MICA gene are significantly associated with susceptibility to TIA.
