Anti-tumor efficacy of Selinexor (KPT-330) in gastric cancer is dependent on nuclear accumulation of p53 tumor suppressor (2018)

Exportin-1 (XPO1) controls the nucleo-cytoplasmic trafficking of several key growth regulatory and tumor suppressor proteins. Nuclear export blockade through XPO1 inhibition is a target for therapeutic inhibition in many cancers. Studies have suggested XPO1 upregulation as an indicator of poor prognosis in gastric cancer. In the current study, we investigated the anti-tumor efficacy of selective inhibitors of nuclear export (SINE) compounds KPT-185, KTP-276 and clinical stage selinexor (KPT-330) in gastric cancer. XPO1 was found to be overexpressed in gastric cancer as compared to adjacent normal tissues and was correlated with poor survival outcomes. Among the 3 SINE compounds, in vitro targeting of XPO1 with selinexor resulted in greatest potency with significant anti-proliferative effects at nano molar concentrations. XPO1 inhibition by selinexor resulted in nuclear accumulation of p53, causing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Also, inhibition of XPO1 lead to the cytoplasmic retention of p21 and suppression of survivin. Orally administered selienxor caused significant inhibition of tumor growth in xenograft models of gastric cancer. Furthermore, combination of selinexor with irinotecan exhibited greater anti-tumor effect compared to individual treatment. Taken together, our study underscores the therapeutic utility of XPO1 targeting in gastric cancer and suggests the potential benefits of XPO1 inhibition in-combination with chemotherapy.
Antimicrobial Resistance of and Genomic Insights into Pasteurella multocida Strains Isolated from Australian Pigs (2023)

Infection with Pasteurella multocida represents a significant economic threat to Australian pig producers, yet our knowledge of its antimicrobial susceptibilities is lagging, and genomic characterization of P. multocida strains associated with porcine lower respiratory disease is internationally scarce. This study utilized high-throughput robotics to phenotypically and genetically characterize an industry-wide collection of 252 clinical P. multocida isolates that were recovered between 2014 and 2019. Overall, antimicrobial resistance was found to be low, with clinical resistance below 1% for all tested antimicrobials except those from the tetracycline class. Five dominant sequence types, representing 64.8% of all isolates, were identified; they were disseminated across farms and had previously been detected in various animal hosts and countries. P. multocida in Australian farms remain controllable via current antimicrobial therapeutic protocols. The identification of highly dominant, interspecies-infecting strains provides insight into the epidemiology of the opportunistic pathogen, and it highlights a biosecurity threat to the Australian livestock industry. <b>IMPORTANCE</b> Pasteurellosis is rated by the World Animal Health Organisation (OIE) as a high-impact disease in livestock. Although it is well understood in many host-disease contexts, our understanding of the organism in porcine respiratory disease is limited. Given its high frequency of involvement in porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC), it is important that we are aware of its antimicrobial susceptibilities so that we can respond quickly and appropriately with antimicrobial therapy. Genetic insights about the organism can help us to better understand its epidemiology and inform our biosecurity practices and prophylactic management.

Gene expression in pharyngeal arch 1 during human embryonic development (2005)

Craniofacial abnormalities are one of the most common birth defects in humans, but little is known about the human genes that control these important developmental processes. To identify relevant genes, we analyzed transcription profiles of human pharyngeal arch 1 (PA1), a conserved embryonic structure that develops into the palate and jaw. Using microdissected, normal human craniofacial structures, we constructed 12 SAGE (serial analysis of gene expression) libraries and sequenced 606 532 tags. We also performed Affymetrix microarray analysis on 25 craniofacial targets. Our data revealed not only genes "enriched" or differentially expressed in PA1 during fourth and fifth week of human development, but also 6927 genes newly identified to be expressed in human PA1. Many of these genes are involved in biosynthetic processes and have binding function and catalytic activity. We compared expression profiles of human genes with those of mouse homologs to look for genes more specific to human craniofacial development and found 766 genes expressed in human PA1, but not in mouse PA1. We also identified 1408 genes that were expressed in mouse as well as human PA1 and could be useful in creating mouse models for human conditions. We confirmed conservation of some human PA1 expression patterns in mouse embryonic samples with whole mount in situ hybridization and real-time RT-PCR. This comprehensive approach to expression profiling gives insights into the early development of the craniofacial region and provides markers for developmental structures and candidate genes, including SET and CCT3, for diseases such as orofacial clefting and micrognathia.
Genuine antihyperalgesia by systemic diazepam revealed by experiments in GABAA receptor point-mutated mice (2008)

Ionotropic gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA(A)) receptors control the relay of nociceptive signals at several levels of the neuraxis. Experiments with systemically applied benzodiazepines, which enhance the action of GABA at these receptors, have suggested both anti- and pronociceptive effects. The interpretation of such experiments has been notoriously difficult because of confounding sedation. Here, we have used genetically engineered mice, which carry specific benzodiazepine-insensitive GABA(A) receptor subunits, to test whether diazepam, a frequently used classical benzodiazepine, exerts antihyperalgesia after systemic administration in the formalin test, a model of tonic nociception. In wild-type mice, systemic diazepam (3-30 mg/kg, p.o.) dose-dependently reduced the number of formalin-induced flinches during both phases of the test by about 40-70%. This antinociception was reversed by the benzodiazepine site antagonist flumazenil (10mg/kg, i.p.), but fully retained in GABA(A) receptor alpha1 point-mutated mice, which were resistant against the sedative action of diazepam. Experiments carried out in mice with two diazepam-insensitive subunits (alpha1/alpha2, alpha1/alpha3 and alpha1/alpha5 double point-mutated mice) allowed addressing the contribution of alpha2, alpha3 and alpha5 subunits to systemic diazepam-induced antihyperalgesia in the absence of sedation. The relative contributions of these subunits were alpha2 approximately alpha3>alpha5, and thus very similar to those found for intrathecal diazepam (0.09 mg/kg). Accordingly, SL-651498 (10mg/kg, p.o.), an "anxioselective" benzodiazepine site agonist with preferential activity at alpha2/alpha3 subunits, significantly reduced formalin-induced flinching in wild-type mice. We conclude that systemic diazepam exerts a genuine antihyperalgesic effect, which depends on spinal GABA(A) receptors containing alpha2 and/or alpha3 subunits.

Computational Investigation of Flow and Heat Transfer Characteristics of Impingement Cooling Channel (2013)

Impingement cooling offers very high heat transfer coefficients. Flow field, involved in impingement cooling is dominated by stagnation zone, transition zone and developing zone. Understanding of complex flow phenomenon and its effects on heat transfer characteristics is useful for efficient designing of impingement channels. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has emerged as a powerful tool for the analysis of flow and heat transfer systems. Honeywell has been investigating the use of CFD to determine the characteristics of various complex turbine blade cooling heat transfer augmentation methods such as impingement. The objective of this study is to develop CFD methodology which is suitable for computational investigation of flow and heat transfer analysis of impingement cooling through validation. Single row of circular jets impinging on concave (curved) surface has been considered for this study. The validation was accomplished with the test results of Bunker and Metzger [10] and with the correlations of Chupp et al. [7]. The parameters which are varied in this study include jet Reynolds number (Re2B = 6750–10200), target plate distance to jet diameter ratio (Z/d = 3 and 4), and target surface sharpness (i.e. radius ratio, r* = 0.2, 0.4 and 1) the simulations are performed under steady state conditions. Predicted results are compared for local endwall heat transfer results along the curve length of the mid span target wall. Flow field results obtained at different locations are presented to understand the heat transfer behavior.
Nonchromosomal Antibiotic Resistance in Bacteria V. Isolation and Characterization of R Factor Mutants Exhibiting Temperature-Sensitive Repression of Fertility (1972)

Several distinct types of derepressed R factor mutants have been isolated and identified following nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis. One class of mutants appears to synthesize a temperature-sensitive repressor substance, as shown by the effects of temperature on R factor transfer, on male-specific phage sensitivity, and on F factor and Hfr transfer. In addition, two classes of repressor-in-sensitive derepressed R factor mutants have been identified: although both inhibit F factor transfer at 42 and 32 C, one mutant (R6-5drd50) represses its own fertility at only the low temperature. These results imply the existance of a plasmid-specific component of the R factor repression system, in addition to a component which acts on both R and F factor fertility.
Improved reconstructions of random media using dilation and erosion processes (2011)

By using the most sensitive two-point correlation functions introduced to date, we reconstruct the microstructures of two-phase random media with heretofore unattained accuracy. Such media arise in a host of contexts, including porous and composite media, ecological structures, biological media, and astrophysical structures. The aforementioned correlation functions are special cases of the so-called canonical n-point correlation function H(n) and generalize the ones that have been recently employed to advance our ability to reconstruct complex microstructures [Y. Jiao, F. H. Stillinger, and S. Torquato, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 106, 17634 (2009)]. The use of these generalized correlation functions is tantamount to dilating or eroding a reference phase of the target medium and incorporating the additional topological information of the modified media, thereby providing more accurate reconstructions of percolating, filamentary, and other topologically complex microstructures. We apply our methods to a multiply connected "donut" medium and a dilute distribution of "cracks" (a set of essentially zero measure), demonstrating improved accuracy in both cases with implications for higher-dimensional and biconnected two-phase systems. The high information content of the generalized two-point correlation functions suggests that it would be profitable to explore their use to characterize the structural and physical properties of not only random media, but also molecular systems, including structural glasses.
Superatomic Gallium Clusters in Dendrimers: Unique Rigidity and Reactivity Depending on their Atomicity (2020)

Superatoms have been investigated due to their possible substitution for other elements. The solution-phase synthesis of superatoms has attracted attention to realize the availability of superatoms. However, the previous approach is basically limited to the formation of a single cluster. Here, superatoms are investigated and the number of valence electrons in these superatoms is changed by designing the number of gallium atoms present. Based on the dendrimer template method, clusters consisting of 3, 12, 13, and other numbers of atoms have been synthesized. The halogen-like superatomic nature of Ga<sub>13</sub> is structurally and electrochemically observed as completely different to the other clusters. The gallium clusters of 13 and 3 atoms, which can fill the 2P and 1P superatomic orbitals, respectively, exhibit different reactivities. The 3-atom gallium cluster is suggested as being reduced to Ga<sub>3</sub> H<sub>2</sub> <sup>-</sup> due to the lower shift of energy levels in the unoccupied orbitals. The results for these gallium clusters provide candidates for superatoms.
The Association Between Heterosexual anal Intercourse and HIV Acquisition in Three Prospective Cohorts of Women (2023)

The extent to which receptive anal intercourse (RAI) increases the HIV acquisition risk of women compared to receptive vaginal intercourse (RVI) is poorly understood. We evaluated RAI practice over time and its association with HIV incidence during three prospective HIV cohorts of women: RV217, MTN-003 (VOICE), and HVTN 907. At baseline, 16% (RV 217), 18% (VOICE) of women reported RAI in the past 3 months and 27% (HVTN 907) in the past 6 months, with RAI declining during follow-up by around 3-fold. HIV incidence in the three cohorts was positively associated with reporting RAI at baseline, albeit not always significantly. The adjusted hazard rate ratios for potential confounders (aHR) were 1.1 (95% Confidence interval: 0.8-1.5) for VOICE and 3.3 (1.6-6.8) for RV 217, whereas the ratio of cumulative HIV incidence by RAI practice was 1.9 (0.6-6.0) for HVTN 907. For VOICE, the estimated magnitude of association increased slightly when using a time-varying RAI exposure definition (aHR = 1.2; 0.9-1.6), and for women reporting RAI at every follow-up survey (aHR = 2.0 (1.3-3.1)), though not for women reporting higher RAI frequency (> 30% acts being RAI vs. no RAI in the past 3 months; aHR = 0.7 (0.4-1.1)). Findings indicated precise estimation of the RAI/HIV association, following multiple RVI/RAI exposures, is sensitive to RAI exposure definition, which remain imperfectly measured. Information on RAI practices, RAI/RVI frequency, and condom use should be more systematically and precisely recorded and reported in studies looking at sexual behaviors and HIV seroconversions; standardized measures would aid comparability across geographies and over time.
Multi-Bandgap-Sensitized ZnO Nanorod Photoelectrode Arrays for Water Splitting: An X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy Approach for the Electronic Evolution under Solar Illumination (2011)

This investigation demonstrates an environmentally friendly inorganic light-harvesting nanostructure. This system provides a stable photoelectrochemical platform for the photolysis of water. The device is constructed by first building up an array of ZnO nanowires and then incorporating indium phosphide (InP) nanocrystals into them. A different-sized quantum dots (QDs) sensitization of the ZnO nanowire array for splitting water with a substantially enhanced photocurrent was demonstrated. InP QDs of various sizes are utilized as simultaneous sensitizers of the array of ZnO nanowires, and this multi-bandgap sensitization layer of InP QDs can harvest complementary solar light in the visible region while the ZnO nanostructures absorb the UV part of solar light. A photocurrent of 1.2 mA/cm2 at +1.0 V was observed; it was more than 108% greater than the photocurrent achieved by bare ZnO nanowires. Solar illumination measurements investigated the contribution from photoelectrochemical response and effect in unoccupied states of conduction band. ZnO decorated with single/three-sized InP QDs had a significant increase in photogenerating electrons in 4p orbital, which indicated this increase of photogenerating electrons could be attributable to the absorption of InP QDs in visible region and the photogenerating electrons transfer from conduction band of InP to that of ZnO. The photogenerating electron in conduction band can significantly response to the photoactivity collected in photoelectrochemical measurement, and the contribution of photoresponse from ZnO nanowire or InP quantum dots can be distinguished by comparing the spectra collected under dark/illumination condition.
Control of Photoinduced Electron Transfer in Zinc Phthalocyanine−Perylenediimide Dyad and Triad by the Magnesium Ion (2008)

Photoexcitation of a zinc phthalocyanine-perylenediimide (ZnPc-PDI) dyad and a bis(zinc phthalocyanine)-perylenediimide [(ZnPc) 2-PDI] triad results in formation of the triplet excited state of the PDI moiety without the fluorescence emission, whereas addition of Mg (2+) ions to the dyad and triad results in formation of long-lived charge-separated (CS) states (ZnPc (*+)-PDI (*-)/Mg (2+) and (ZnPc) 2 (*+)-PDI (*-)/Mg (2+)) in which PDI (*-) forms a complex with Mg (2+). Formation of the CS states in the presence of Mg (2+) was confirmed by appearance of the absorption bands due to ZnPc (*+) and PDI (*-)/Mg (2+) complex in the time-resolved transient absorption spectra of the dyad and triad. The one-electron reduction potential ( E red) of the PDI moiety in the presence of a metal ion is shifted to a positive direction due to the binding of Mg (2+) to PDI (*-), whereas the one-electron oxidation potential of the ZnPc moiety remains the same. The binding of Mg (2+) to PDI (*-) was confirmed by the ESR spectrum, which is different from that of PDI (*-) without Mg (2+). The energy of the CS state (ZnPc (*+)-PDI (*-)/Mg (2+)) is determined to be 0.79 eV, which becomes lower that of the triplet excited state (ZnPc- (3)PDI*: 1.07 eV). This is the reason why the long-lived CS states were attained in the presence of Mg (2+) instead of the triplet excited state of the PDI moiety.

Fullerene-Functionalized Donor–Acceptor Block Copolymers through Etherification as Stabilizers for Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells (2012)

A new synthetic method for the covalent linking of fullerenes to polymers is introduced. The Bingel-reaction was used to prepare bromine-functionalized fullerene building blocks that could be covalently linked to hydroxyl groups of model copolymers by the cesium carbonate promoted Williamson ether synthesis. Subsequently, block copolymers with a second block based on styrene and hydroxystyrene or hydroxyethyl methacrylate could be synthesized with a poly(3-hexylthiophene)–TEMPO macroinitiator through NMRP. Fullerene derivatives were linked to these polymers in a controlled manner and donor–acceptor block copolymers with high fullerene contents of near 50 wt % were achieved.
Cobalt‐Embedded Nitrogen‐Rich Carbon Nanotubes Efficiently Catalyze Hydrogen Evolution Reaction at All pH Values (2014)

Abstract Despite being technically possible, splitting water to generate hydrogen is still practically unfeasible due mainly to the lack of sustainable and efficient catalysts for the half reactions involved. Herein we report the synthesis of cobalt‐embedded nitrogen‐rich carbon nanotubes (NRCNTs) that 1) can efficiently electrocatalyze the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with activities close to that of Pt and 2) function well under acidic, neutral or basic media alike, allowing them to be coupled with the best available oxygen‐evolving catalysts—which also play crucial roles in the overall water‐splitting reaction. The materials are synthesized by a simple, easily scalable synthetic route involving thermal treatment of Co 2+ ‐embedded graphitic carbon nitride derived from inexpensive starting materials (dicyandiamide and CoCl 2 ). The materials’ efficient catalytic activity is mainly attributed to their nitrogen dopants and concomitant structural defects.
