Tamoxifen(TAM) resistance has caused great difficulties for treatment of BC patients. Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E binding protein 1(EIF4EBP1) plays critical roles in the tumorigenesis and progression of BC. However, the expression and mechanism of EIF4EBP1 in determining the efficacy of TAM therapy in BC patients are still unclear.AIM To investigate the expression and functions of EIF4EBP1 in determining the efficacy of TAM therapy in BC patients.METHODS High-throughput sequencing data of breast tumors were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Differential gene expression analysis identified EIF4EBP1 to be significantly upregulated in cancer tissues. Its prognostic value was analyzed. The biological function and related pathways of EIF4EBP1 was analyzed. Subsequently, the expression of EIF4EBP1 was determined by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. Cell Counting Kit-8 assays, colony formation assay and wound healing assay were used to understand the phenotypes of function of EIF4EBP1.RESULTS EIF4EBP1 was upregulated in the TAM-resistant cells, and EIF4EBP1 was related to the prognosis of BC patients. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis showed that EIF4EBP1 might be involved in Hedgehog signaling pathways. Decreasing the expression of EIF4EBP1 could reverse TAM resistance, whereas overexpression of EIF4EBP1 promoted TAM resistance.CONCLUSION This study indicated that EIF4EBP1 was overexpressed in the BC and TAM-resistant cell line, which increased cell proliferation, invasion, migration and TAM resistance in BC cells.展开更多

In the two compounds, H2L and HL exhibit a trans-conformation. Complex 2 shows a mononuclear Cu（Ⅱ） structure with the hydroxyl group of HL uncoordinated. Complex 2 is assembled into a three-dimensional （3D） supramolecular architecture by hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions. H2L and compound 2 can detect NO2 via reversible and irreversible color changes, respectively. The mechanism for the color changes is investigated.展开更多

These compounds are designated I, II and III, respectively. The antioxidants efficiency of the synthesized compounds in lubricating greases had been investigated using ASTM d-942 and ASTM d-664. The obtained data showed that the total acid number and oxygen pressure drop of these compounds in lubricating greases decrease in the order: Comp.III. < Comp.I. < Comp.II. The antioxidant efficiency of the prepared quinolinones derivatives was discussed. Acceptable correlations were obtained between the obtained oxidation inhibition and the calculated quantum chemical parameters.展开更多

The advantages of this method lie in its simplicity, low catalyst loading, cost effectiveness and easy to handle. The Palladium Nanoparticles can be reused without loss of activity even after recycling four times. The palladium nanoparticles were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The present method also allows us to synthesize highly functionalized title compounds from simple and readily available inputs.展开更多
