Objective:To investigate the renoprotective effects of luteolin on diabetes in rats.Methods:One week after administration of streptozotocin 55 mg/kg intraperitoneally,rats were given 25,50,and 75 mg/kg/day of luteolin orally for another eight weeks.At the end of the experiment,body weight,blood glucose level,biochemical parameters for renal function(serum creatinine,blood urea nitrogen,uric acid,serum albumin,and total protein),kidney histology,matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)-2,MMP-9,and histone deacetylase 2(HDAC-2)expression,and malondialdehyde,myeloperoxidase,and hydroxyproline content in renal tissue were evaluated.High glucose-induced damage using NRK-52E cell line was studied to evaluate cell viability and metalloenzyme expression.Additionally,in silico studies including docking and molecular dynamics simulations were conducted.Results:MMP-2,MMP-9,and HDAC-2 expressions were significantly increased in high glucose-induced NRK-52E cells and the renal tissue of diabetic rats.However,these changes were reversed by luteolin at the administered doses.Additionally,luteolin significantly reduced oxidative stress,inflammation,and fibrosis,as well as improved biochemical parameters in diabetic rats.Furthermore,luteolin at the examined doses markedly alleviated diabetes-induced histopathological changes in renal tissues.Conclusions:Luteolin effectively attenuates streptozotocin-induced diabetic nephropathy in rats by inhibiting MMP-2,MMP-9,and HDAC-2 expression,and reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. 展开更多

Oligonucleotide-based therapy has experienced remarkable development in the past 2 decades,but its broad applications are severely hampered by delivery vectors.Widely used viral vectors and lipid nanovectors are suffering from immune clearance after repeating usage or requiring refrigerated transportation and storage,respectively.In this work,amino-modified virus-mimetic spike silica nanoparticles(NH_(2)-SSNs)were fabricated using a 1-pot surfactant-free approach with controlled spike lengths,which were demonstrated with excellent delivery performance and biosafety in nearly all cell types and mice.It indicated that NH2-SSNs entered cells by spike-dependent cell membrane docking and dynamin-dependent endocytosis.The positively charged spikes with proper length on the surface can facilitate the efficient encapsulation of RNAs,protect the loaded RNAs from degradation,and trigger an early endosome escape during intracellular trafficking,similarly to the cellular internalization mechanism of virions.Regarding the fantastic properties of NH_(2)-SSNs in nucleic acid delivery,it revealed that nanoparticles with solid spikes on the surface would be excellent vehicles for gene therapy,presenting self-evident advantages in storage,transportation,modification,and quality control in large-scale production compared to lipid nanovectors. 展开更多

The non-specific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) are small, basic proteins characterized by a tunnel-like hydrophobic cavity, capable of transferring various lipid molecules between lipid bilayers. Most nsLTPs are synthesized with an N-terminal signal peptide that localizes the protein to the apoplastic space. The nsLTPs have only been identified in seed plants, where they are encoded by large gene families. We have initiated an analysis of the evolutionary history of the nsLTP family using genomic and EST information from non-seed land plants and green algae to determine: (1) when the nsLTP family arose, (2) how often new nsLTP subfamilies have been created, and (3) how subfamilies differ in their patterns of expansion and loss in different plant lineages. In this study, we searched sequence databases and found that genes and transcripts encoding nsLTPs are abundant in liverworts, mosses, and all other investigated land plants, but not present in any algae. The tertiary structures of representative liverwort and moss nsLTPs were further studied with homology modeling. The results indicate that the nsLTP family has evolved after plants conquered land. Only two of the four major subfamilies of nsLTPs found in flowering plants are present in mosses and liverworts. The additional subfamilies have arisen later, during land plant evolution. In this report, we also introduce a modified nsLTP classification system. 展开更多

Chromatin interactions functionally affect genome architecture and gene regulation,but to date,only fresh samples must be used in High-through chromosome conformation capture(Hi-C)to keep natural chromatin conformation intact.This requirement has impeded the advancement of 3 D genome research by limiting sample collection and storage options for researchers and severely limiting the number of samples that can be processed in a short time.Here,we develop a freeze substitution Hi-C(FS-Hi-C)technique that overcomes the need for fresh samples.FS-Hi-C can be used with samples stored in liquid nitrogen(LN2):the water in a vitreous form in the sample cells is replaced with ethanol via automated freeze substitution.After confirming that the FS step preserves the natural chromosome conformation during sample thawing,we tested the performance of FS-Hi-C with Drosophila melanogaster and Gossypium hirsutum.Beyond allowing the use of frozen samples and confirming that FS-Hi-C delivers robust data for generating contact heat maps and delineating A/B compartments and topologically associating domains,we found that FS-HiC outperforms the in situ Hi-C in terms of library quality,reproducibility,and valid interactions.Thus,FS-HiC will probably extend the application of 3D genome structure analysis to the vast number of experimental contexts in biological and medical research for which Hi-C methods have been unfeasible to date. 展开更多

Boosting transcorneal permeability and pharmacological activity of drug poses a great challenge in the field of ocular drug delivery.In the present study,we propose a drug-peptide supramolecular hydrogel based on anti-inflammatory drug,dexamethasone(Dex),and Arg-Gly-Asp(RGD)motif for boosting transcorneal permeability and pharmacological activity via the ligand-receptor interaction.The drug-peptide(Dex-SA-RGD/RGE)supramolecular hydrogel comprised of uniform nanotube architecture formed spontaneously in phosphate buffered saline(PBS,pH=7.4)without external stimuli.Upon storage at 4℃,25℃,and 37℃ for 70 days,Dex-SA-RGD in hydrogel did not undergo significant hydrolysis,suggesting great long-term stability.In comparison to Dex-SA-RGE,Dex-SA-RGD exhibited a more potent in vitro anti-inflammatory efficacy in lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-activated RAW 264.7 macrophages via the inhibition of nuclear factorкB(NF-κB)signal pathway.More importantly,using drug-peptide supramolecular hydrogel labeled with 7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole(NBD),the Dex-SA-K(NBD)RGD showed increased performance in terms of integrin targeting and cellular uptake compared to Dex-SA-K(NBD)RGE,as revealed by cellular uptake assay.On topical instillation in rabbit’s eye,the proposed Dex-SA-K(NBD)RGD could effectively enhance the transcorneal distribution and permeability with respect to the Dex-SA-K(NBD)RGE.Overall,our findings demonstrate the performance of the ligand-receptor interaction for boosting transcorneal permeability and pharmacological activity of drug. 展开更多
