Sulfation is a crucial and prevalent conjugation reaction involved in cellular processes and mammalian physiology.3’-Phosphoadenosine 5’-phosphosulfate(PAPS)synthase 2(PAPSS2)is the primary enzyme to generate the universal sulfonate donor PAPS.The involvement of PAPSS2-mediated sulfation in adenomatous polyposis coli(APC)mutation-promoted colonic carcinogenesis has not been reported.Here,we showed that the expression of PAPSS2 was decreased in human colon tumors along with cancer stages,and the lower expression of PAPSS2 was correlated with poor prognosis in advanced colon cancer.Gut epithelial-specific heterozygous Apc deficient and Papss2-knockout(Apc^(Δgut-Het)Papss2^(Δgut))mice were created,and the phenotypes were compared to the spontaneous intestinal tumorigenesis of Apc^(Δgut-Het)mice.Apc^(Δgut-Het)Papss2^(Δgutmice) were more sensitive to gut tumorigenesis,which was mechanistically accounted for by the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway due to the suppression of chondroitin sulfation and inhibition of the farnesoid X receptor(FXR)-transducin-like enhancer of split 3(TLE3)gene regulatory axis.Chondroitin sulfate supplementation in Apc^(Δgut-Het)Papss2^(Δgutmice) alleviated intestinal tumorigenesis.In summary,we have uncovered the protective role of PAPSS2-mediated chondroitin sulfation and bile acids-FXR-TLE3 activation in the prevention of gut carcinogenesis via the antagonization of Wnt/β-catenin signaling.Chondroitin sulfate may be explored as a therapeutic agent for Papss2 deficiency-associated colonic carcinogenesis.

Photodynamic therapy(PDT)is a promising cancer treatment.This study investigated the antitumor effects and mechanisms of a novel photosensitizer meso-5-[ρ-diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid-aminophenyl]−10,15,20-triphenyl-porphyrin(DTP)mediated PDT(DTP-PDT).Cell viability,reactive oxygen species(ROS),and apoptosis were measured with a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay,DCFH-DA fluorescent probe,and Hoechst staining,respectively.Cell apoptosis-and autophagy-related proteins were examined using western blotting.RNA sequencing was used to screen differentially expressed mRNAs(DERs),and bioinformatic analysis was performed to identify the major biological events after DTP-PDT.Our results show that DTP-PDT inhibited cell growth and induced ROS generation in MCF-7 and SGC7901 cells.The ROS scavenger N-acetyl-L-cysteine(NAC)and the P38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 alleviated DTP-PDT-induced cytotoxicity.DTP-PDT induced cell apoptosis together with upregulated Bax and downregulated Bcl-2,which could also be inhibited by NAC or SB203580.The level of LC3B-Ⅱ,a marker of autophagy,was increased by DTP-PDT.A total of 3496 DERs were obtained after DTP-PDT.Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses indicated that DERs included those involved in cytosolic ribosomes,the nuclear lumen,protein binding,cell cycle,protein targeting to the endoplasmic reticulum,and ribosomal DNA replication.Disease Ontology and Reactome enrichment analyses indicated that DERs were associated with a variety of cancers and cell cycle checkpoints.Protein-protein interaction results demonstrated that cdk1 and rps27a ranked in the top 10 interacting genes.Therefore,DTP-PDT could inhibit cell growth and induce cell apoptosis and autophagy,partly through ROS and the P38 MAPK signaling pathway.Genes associated with the cell cycle,ribosomes,DNA replication,and protein binding may be the key changes in DTP-PDT-mediated cytotoxicity.

Retinoic acid(RA), the active metabolite of vitamin A(the retinoids), elicits a wide spectrum of biological activities critical to the development and health of most of the organ systems including the nervous systems(Corcoran et al., 2002). The effects of RA are mediated by two very distinct pathways; the first is manifested in the nucleus by binding to a large family of nuclear RA receptors(RARs) to regulate proper expression of RAtargeted genes,

Biocatalysis in organic solvents(OSs)has numerous important applications,but native enzymes in OSs often exhibit limited catalytic performance.Herein,we proposed a computation-aided surface charge engineering strategy to improve the catalytic performance of haloalkane dehalogenase DhaA in OSs based on the energetic analysis of substrate binding to the DhaA surface.Several variants with enhanced OS resistance were obtained by replacing negative charged residues on the surface with positive charged residue(Arg).Particularly,a four-substitution variant E16R/E93R/E121R/E257R exhibited the best catalytic performance(five-fold improvement in OS resistance and seven-fold half-life increase in 40%(vol)dimethylsulfoxide).As a result,the overall catalytic performance of the variant could be at least 26 times higher than the wild-type DhaA.Fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulation studies revealed that the residue substitution mainly enhanced OS resistance from four aspects:(a)improved the overall structural stability,(b)increased the hydrophobicity of the local microenvironment around the catalytic triad,(c)enriched the hydrophobic substrate around the enzyme molecule,and(d)lowered the contact frequency between OS molecules and the catalytic triad.Our findings validate that computationaided surface charge engineering is an effective and ingenious rational strategy for tailoring enzyme performance in OSs.

Hydrogel microparticles,generally accepted as significant green materials,have been widely used in chemical,biological,and biomedical fields owing to their excellent biocompatibility,biodegradability,and noncytotoxicity.Among these,non-spherical hydrogel microparticles with diverse shape anisotropy have great potential in applications such as drug delivery,cellular interaction,micromotors,etc.Benefiting from their shapes,their functionalities in such fields cannot be satisfied by the typical spherical types.Recently,microfluidics with precise control and domination of fluids at microflow sizes has emerged as a powerful method for synthesizing shape-controllable hydrogel microparticles with good monodispersity and unique morphology.In this review,we tried to provide an overview of the production of non-spherical microparticles composed of green hydrogel materials,emphasizing the microfluidic approaches.Furthermore,a brief introduction to their current applications is also presented.

Electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction(NRR)is considered as a promising candidate to achieve ammonia synthesis because of clean electric energy,moderate reaction condition,safe operating process and harmless by-products.However,the chemical inertness of nitrogen and poor activated capacity on catalyst surface usually produce low ammonia yield and faradic efficiency.Herein,the microfluidic technology is proposed to efficiently fabricate enriched iridium nanodots/carbon architecture.Owing to in-situ co-precipitation reaction and microfluidic manipulation,the iridium nanodots/carbon nanomaterials possess small average size,uniform dispersion,high conductivity and abundant active sites,producing good proton activation and rapid electrons transmission and moderate adsorption/desorption capacity.As a result,the as-prepared iridium nanodots/carbon nanomaterials realize large ammonia yield of 28.73 μg h^(-1) cm^(-2) and faradic efficiency of 9.14%in KOH solution.Moreover,the high ammonia yield of 11.21 μg h^(-1) cm^(-2) and faradic efficiency of 24.30%are also achieved in H_(2)SO_(4) solution.The microfluidic method provides a reference for large-scale fabrication of nano-sized catalyst materials,which may accelerate the progress of electrocatalytic NRR in industrialization field.
