Abstract
The pollution of heavy metals such as Cu2+ is still serious and the discharge of sewage of Cu2+ will cause damage to soil environment and human health. Herein, a biomass-based solid-state fluorescence detection platform (CPU-CDs) was developed as fluorescent sensor for detection Cu2+ via fluorescence and colorimetric dual-model methods in real time. CPU-CDs was composed of xylan-derived CDs (U-CDs) and cotton cellulose paper, which exhibiting good reusability, non-toxicity, excellent fluorescence characteristics and high biocompatibility. Further, CPU-CDs displayed high effectiveness and sensitivity for Cu2+ with the detection limit as low as 0.14 μM, which was well below U.S. EPA safety levels (20 μM). Practical application indicated that CPU-CDs could achieve precision response of Cu2+ change in real environment water samples with good recovery range of 90 %-119 %. This strategy demonstrated a promising biomass solid-state fluorescence sensor for Cu2+ detection for water treatment research, which is of great significance in dealing with water pollution caused by heavy metal ions.

Abstract
In search of more efficacious antitumor agents, a series of novel dehydroabietinol derivatives containing a triazole moiety was synthesized, and evaluated for cytotoxicity against four human cancer cell lines. Many exhibited superior cytotoxic profiles compared to the parent molecule, dehydroabietic acid. In particular, compounds 5g, 5i and 5j exhibited promising cytotoxicity with IC50 values ranging from 4.84 to 9.62 μM against all the test cell lines. Cell clone formation and migration tests of compound 5g showed that it not only effectively inhibited the formation of MGC-803 cell colonies but also inhibited the MGC-803 cell migration and invasion. Additionally, the preliminary pharmacological mechanism indicated compound 5g induced apoptosis, arrested the mitotic process at the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle, reduced the mitochondrial membrane potential, and increased the intracellular ROS and Ca2+ levels.

Abstract
Three new synthetic terpyridine copper(II) complexes were characterized. The copper(II) complexes induced apoptosis of three cancer cell lines and arrested T-24 cell cycle in G1 phase. The complexes were accumulated in mitochondria of T-24 cells and caused significant reduction of the mitochondrial membrane potential. The complexes increased both intracellular ROS and Ca2+ levels and activated the caspase-3/9 expression. The apoptosis was further confirmed by Western Blotting analysis. Bcl-2 was down-regulated and Bax was upregulated after treatment with complexes 1-3. The in vivo studies showed that complexes 1-3 obviously inhibited the growth of tumor without significant toxicity to other organs.

Abstract
Upregulating the expression of long noncoding RNA LINC00982 controlled cell proliferation in gastric cancer, but the regulatory molecular mechanisms are yet to be expounded. We here aimed to elaborate how LINC00982 regulated the malignancy of gastric cancer cells. RT-qPCR and Western blot analysis were used to detect the expression of LINC00982 and cathepsin F (CTSF) in gastric cancer tissues and cells. Modulatory effect of LINC00982 on gastric cancer cells was assessed by CCK-8, colony formation, Transwell migration, and invasion assays. The relationship between LINC00982, YRPW motif 1 (HEY1), and CTSF was examined by RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation, luciferase assay, and chromatin immunoprecipitation, and their interaction in the regulation of gastric cancer cellular functions was analyzed by performing gain-of-function and rescue assays. The nude mouse model of tumor formation was developed to examine the effects of LINC00982 on tumorigenesis. LINC00982 was lowly expressed in gastric cancer tissues, whereas its overexpression impaired the proliferative, migratory, and invasive properties of gastric cancer cells. Furthermore, LINC00982 could bind to transcription factor HEY1 and inhibited its expression. Through blocking the binding of HEY1 to CTSF promoter, LINC00982 promoted the expression of CTSF. Overexpression of HEY1 or inhibition of CTSF could reverse the antitumor effects of LINC00982 on gastric cancer, which were further demonstrated in vivo. All these taken together, LINC00982 acted as a tumor suppressor in gastric cancer, which is therefore suggested to be a potential antitumor target for gastric cancer.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We identified LINC00982 as a promising antitumor target for the treatment of patients with gastric cancer. We also determined a regulatory network involved in the pathophysiology of gastric cancer wherein LINC00982 could bind to HEY1 to impair its binding to cathepsin F (CTSF) promoter and hence promote CTSF expression, which aids in better understanding of molecular mechanisms related to gastric tumorigenesis.

Abstract
A novel optically pure dinuclear copper(II) complex of a rosin derivative dehydroabietic acid (DHA, HL) was synthesized and fully characterized. The in vitro antitumor activities of the copper(II) complex Cu2(µ2-O)(L)4(DMF)2 (1) were explored and compared with those of a trinuclear iron(III) complex [Fe3(µ3-O)(L)6(CH3OH)2(CH3O)]·H2O (2). 1 was more cytotoxic than 2, and the in vitro cytotoxicity of 1 was comparable to that of cisplatin and oxaliplatin. The metal coordination improved the cytotoxicity of DHA. 1 could arrest cycle in G1 phase and induce apoptosis in MCF-7 cell. 1 increased reactive oxygen species level, GSSG/GSH ratio, and Ca2+ production, and caused the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) in MCF-7 cells. The up-regulated Bax and down-regulated Bcl-2 expression levels, caspase-9/caspase-3 activation, and the release of Cyt c demonstrate that 1 triggered mitochondria-mediated intrinsic apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. Caspase-8/caspase-4 activation and up-regulated Fas expression indicate that death receptor-mediated extrinsic apoptosis was included. Comet assay and up-regulated γ-H2AX and p53 expressions confirmed that 1 caused DNA damage in MCF-7 cells. Moreover, 1 led to enhancement of the biomarker of lipid peroxidation and the indicator of protein carbonylation in MCF-7 cells. All the results suggest that 1 could kill MCF-7 cells by generating oxidative stress, impairing DNA, promoting lipid peroxidation and protein carbonylation, and inducing apoptosis and autophagy. Furthermore, 1 also displayed antimetastatic activities with inhibition of cell invasion and migration, together with antiangiogenesis properties. On the whole, copper complex based on rosin derivatives is worth developing as metal-based antitumor drugs.

Abstract
A macrocyclic Schiff base fluorescent probe [1,2-phenylenediamine-2,6-pyridinedialdehyde macrocyclic Schiff base] (BP-MSB) based on 2,6-pyridinedialdehyde was synthesized for use in the detection of Cu2+ in environmental water samples and live cells imaging by the method of specific recognition. The free fluorescent probe BP-MSB shows strong fluorescence in DMSO/H2O. The probe shows high sensitivity and selectivity for Cu2+ through "turn-off" fluorescence response in DMSO/H2O buffer solution (pH = 6.5), with a detection limit of 0.83 nM, which is far below the maximum allowable drinking water content of 20.0 μM specified by the US Environmental Protection Agency. The BP-MSB fluorescence quenching method was used for the determination of Cu2+ in Xiang Jiang water samples and tap-water. Furthermore, addition of the same number of moles of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) can realize the reversible recognition of Cu2+ by the probe BP-MSB. Most importantly, the fluorescence imaging of live cells after incubation of BP-MSB with GM12878 cells showed good imaging performance, confirming the sensitivity of the fluorescent probe BP-MSB in vivo. The probe was also used to form an analog logic gate. This probe has the advantages of good stability, simple operation and high selectivity, which provides a broad prospect for environmental monitoring, intracellular detection and practical application of POCT.

Abstract
Transition metals refer to the elements in the d and ds blocks of the periodic table. Since the success of cisplatin and auranofin, transition metal-based compounds have become a prospective source for drug development, particularly in cancer treatment. In recent years, extensive studies have shown that numerous transition metal-based compounds could modulate autophagy, promising a new therapeutic strategy for metal-related diseases and the design of metal-based agents. Copper, zinc, and manganese, which are common components in physiological pathways, play important roles in the progression of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, enrichment of copper, zinc, or manganese can regulate autophagy. Thus, we summarized the current advances in elucidating the mechanisms of some metals/metal-based compounds and their functions in autophagy regulation, which is conducive to explore the intricate roles of autophagy and exploit novel therapeutic drugs for human diseases.

Abstract
To explore the biological properties of rosin derivatives, two dehydroabietic acid derivatives N-(5-dehydroabietyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole)-yl-pyridine-2-carboxamide (DTPC) and di-N-(5-dehydroabietyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole)-yl-pyridine-2,6-carboxamide (DDTPC) with 1,3,4-thiadiazole, pyridine and amide moieties were designed and synthesized according to superposition principle of activity group. They interact with calf thymus DNA (CT DNA) via intercalation based on the results of circular dichroism (CD) and fluorescence spectroscopy, DNA denaturation and viscosity studies. Fluorescence and CD spectral experiments indicate that they might be transported and stored by protein like bovine serum albumin (BSA). MTT assay was further carried out to examine their cytotoxicity, they both showed selective cytotoxicity and DTPC exhibited better cytotoxicity. The antiproliferative effect of DTPC toward A431 cell line was stronger than that of clinically used cisplatin and oxaliplatin. In addition, the cytotoxicity of DTPC and DDTPC was closely related with their DNA binding ability.

Copper-containing coordination compounds attract wide attention due to the redox activity and biogenicity of copper ions, providing multiple pathways of biological activity. The pharmacological properties of metal complexes can be fine-tuned by varying the nature of the ligand and donor atoms. Copper-containing coordination compounds are effective antitumor agents, constituting a less expensive and safer alternative to classical platinum-containing chemotherapy, and are also effective as antimicrobial, antituberculosis, antimalarial, antifugal, and anti-inflammatory drugs. 64Сu-labeled coordination compounds are promising PET imaging agents for diagnosing malignant pathologies, including head and neck cancer, as well as the hallmark of Alzheimer's disease amyloid-β (Aβ). In this review article, we summarize different strategies for possible use of coordination compounds in the treatment and diagnosis of various diseases, and also various studies of the mechanisms of antitumor and antimicrobial action.

RSC Adv 2020; 10:6297-6305.

Abstract
Based on 1,2-dimethoxyphenyl (veratrole, open) and 1,2-methylenedioxyphenyl (pepper ring, close)-derived pyridine–triazole analogues, two groups of copper(ii) complexes, namely, Group I(C1–C3) and Group II(C4–C6) were synthesized and fully characterized. All ligands and complexes were tested in vitro by MTT assays on seven tumour cell lines (T24, Hep-G2, Sk-Ov-3, MGC-803, HeLa, A549 and NCI-H460) and one normal liver cell line (HL-7702). Surprisingly, the pepper-ring-derived complexes (C4–C6) showed significantly enhanced cytotoxicity compared with the 1,2-bimethoxyphenyl ring-derived complexes (C1–C3) and the standard anticancer drug cisplatin. Cellular uptake assays indicated that the Cu accumulation was consistent with cytotoxicity. In addition, flow cytometry and western blot analysis showed that the apoptosis of the leading complex C4 may be induced by the Bcl-2 family-mediated proteins through the mitochondrial dysfunction pathway. Furthermore, UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy assays revealed that C4 has stronger insertion-binding interactions with CT-DNA than C1 and the fluorescence of C1 and C4 with BSA is mainly quenched by static quenching. The pepper ring-modified complexes (Group II, C4–C6) exhibited significant antitumor activity than veratrole-modified complexes (Group I, C1–C3) towards several cancer cells with IC50 ranging from 3.45 to 8.59 μM.![]()
