Chaperone-mediated autophagy targeting chimeras (CMATAC) forthe degradation of ERα in breast cancer

Estrogen receptor alpha(ERα/ESR1)is overexpressed in over half of all breast cancers and is considered a valuable therapeutic target in ERαpositive breast cancer.Here,we designed a membrane-permeant Chaperonemediated Autophagy Targeting Chimeras(CMATAC)peptide to knockdown endogenous ERαprotein through chaperone-mediated autophagy.The peptide contains a cell membrane-penetrating peptide(TAT)that allows the peptide to by-pass the plasma membrane,anαI peptide as a protein-binding peptide(PBD)that binds specifically to ERα,and CMA-targeting peptide(CTM)that targeting chaperone-mediated autophagy.We validated that ERαtargeting peptide was able to target and degrade ERαto reduce the viability of ERαpositive breast cancer cells.Taken together,our studies provided a new method to reduce the level of intracellular ERαprotein via CMATAC,and thus may provide a new strategy for the treatment of ERαpositive breast cancer.

NaOH-NaCl亚熔盐法活化含钾岩石制备SOD沸石

为了实现含钾岩石的高效利用,以NaOH-NaCl混合碱为助剂进行亚熔盐法活化含钾岩石的研究。采用X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电镜(SEM)及滴定法对反应前后的产物组成进行分析。结果表明,含钾岩石活化的适宜条件为:m(NaOH)/m(potassic rocks)=0.7、m(NaCl)/m(potassic rocks)=0.7、m(H2O)/m(potassic rocks)=1.0、反应温度160℃,反应时间120 min。在该条件下,K+浸出率可达92%,碱浓度下降至41wt%,低于常规亚熔盐体系的介质浓度,活化后产物为SOD沸石。通过分析合成后母液组成,设计母液的循环工艺,实现NaCl的循环利用。该法显著减少了亚熔盐活化含钾岩石过程中的碱用量,并实现矿石的高效活化,为含钾岩石的综合利用提供新途径。
