To investigate the mechanism through which hyperthermia promotes exosome secretion and drug sensitivity in adriamycin-resistant breast cancer. We first evaluated the effect of hyperthermia on adriamycin-resistant breast cancer viability and used transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and a bicinchoninic acid kit to validate the effect of hyperthermia on exosome secretion. The effective targeting molecules and pathways changed by hyperthermia were explored by RNA microarray and verified in vitro. The adriamycin-resistant MCF-7/ADR cells co-incubated with...

With the worldwide prevalence of diabetes and considering the complicated microenvironment of diabetic wounds, the design and development of innovative multifunctional wound dressing materials are much wanted for the treatment of hard-to-heal wounds in diabetic patients. In the present study, anti-inflammatory ingredients loaded with nanofibrous wound dressing materials were manufactured by a promising blend-electrospinning strategy, and their capability for treating the diabetic wound was also systematically explored. A polymer blend consisting of Chitosan (CS) and...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been applied in cancer treatment by utilizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill cancer cells. However, the effectiveness of PDT is greatly reduced due to local hypoxia. Hypoxic activated chemotherapy combined with PDT is expected to be a novel strategy to enhance anti-cancer therapy. Herein, a novel liposome (LCT) incorporated with photosensitizer (PS) and bioreductive prodrugs was developed for PDT-activated chemotherapy. In the design, CyI, an iodinated cyanine dye, which could...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-derived exosomes (Exo) are beneficial in the use of brain damages. Restrictively, the mechanism of Exo expressing miR-124-3p in hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) is not completely comprehended. Thereupon, this work was put forward to reveal the action of bone marrow MSCs-derived Exo (BMSCs-Exo) expressing miR-124-3p in the illness. BMSCs were isolated and transfected with miR-124-3p agomir. Then, BMSCs-Exo were extracted and identified. The newborn HIBD rats were injected with miR-124-3p-modified BMSCs-Exo or...

Cisplatin is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent. However, its clinical application remains limited due to the high incidence of severe ototoxicity. It has been reported that the unfolded protein response (UPR) is involved in cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. However, the specific mechanism underlying its effect remains unclear. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the sequential changes in the key UPR signaling branch and its potential pro-apoptotic role in cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. The hair cell-like OC-1 cells were...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is often diagnosed in patients with advanced disease who are ineligible for curative surgical therapies. Sorafenib is a first-line agent approved for the treatment of advanced HCC. However, the frequent resistance of HCC cells to sorafenib greatly reduces its efficacy. Herein, we describe a novel long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) conferring sorafenib resistance. Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1273 (LINC01273) was significantly overexpressed in human HCC and sorafenib-resistant tissues, linking it to poor...

Chemotherapy is the primary treatment for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, related dose-dependent toxicity limits its clinical use. Therefore, it is necessary to explore new strategies for improving the clinical outcomes while reducing the side effects of chemotherapy in the treatment of NSCLC. In this study, we designed and synthesized epidermal growth factor (EGF)-modified doxorubicin nanoparticles (EGF@DOX-NPs) that selectively targets the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) overexpressed in lung tumor cells. When administered in...

Five new triterpenoids, including four ursane types (1–4) and one oleanane type (5), together with 15 known ursane types pentacyclic triterpenoids (6–20) were isolated from the fruit spikes of Prunella vulgaris L., a traditional Chinese herbal medicine. Their structures were elucidated based on IR, HR-ESI-MS, and NMR spectroscopic data. The SW579 cell line was used to evaluate anti-thyroid cancer activities of (1–20). The results indicated that (7–9), (16), and (19) exhibited apparent inhibitory activity with...

In this study, 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) optimally controlled by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) were investigated. Three representative coal-fired power plants were selected as the research areas in Bijie, Guizhou Province, and 24 soil samples were collected totally from power plants at different depths and at different distances from the point pollution sources (plants). The physicochemical properties and microbial characteristics of the soil from the three power plants were also studied. The...

Accurate traffic flow prediction on the urban road network is an indispensable function of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), which is of great significance for urban traffic planning. However, the current traffic flow prediction methods still face many challenges, such as missing values and dynamic spatial relationships in traffic flow. In this study, a dynamic temporal graph neural network considering missing values (D-TGNM) is proposed for traffic flow prediction. First, inspired by the Bidirectional Encoder Representations...
