To characterize its function in angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis, we employed two genetically modified mouse models in this study, targeting the coding region for the ligand-binding domain （Vegfr△LBD） or the tyrosine kinase domain with an inactivation point mutation （Vegfr3^TKmat）. We show that lymphatic growth was disrupted in Vegfr3△LBD/△LBD and Vegfr3^TKmut3^TKmat mice, but blood vessels developed normally in both embryo and yolk sac. Interestingly, in Vegfr3△LBD/△LBD but not Vegfr3^TKmut3^TKmat mice, lymph sac was present but there was lack of iym- phangiogenic sprouting. We further demonstrate that both the wild-type and mutant forms of VEGFR-3 could form heterodimers with VEGFR-2, and decreased the level of phospho-VEGFR-2 and the downstream phospho-Erk1/2 in endothelial cells when they were treated with VEGF-A. These findings indicate that signaling mediated via VEGFR-3 activation by its cognate ligands （VEGF-C/-D） is not required for angiogenesis, and that VEGFR-3 may play a role in this process by modulating VEGFR-2-mediated signals.展开更多

文摘Hydrogen is considered to be an ideal safe and clean energy source,which can be produced by water splitting.The high overpotential of hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)is one of the bottleneck issues for the practical application of water splitting,where high-efficiency electrocatalysts are thus usually required to accommodate and facilitate the reaction.In recent years,a rapid rise in the HER electrocatalysts has been witnessed,especially nanostructured materials.Noble metals are generally regarded as the most effective electrocatalysts for HER,while some other electrocatalysts based on non-noble transition metals,including alloys,chalcogenides,phosphides,carbides and nitrides,can even approach the HER efficiency of noble metal benchmarks.This paper mainly introduces the basic principles of the HER process,evaluates different categories of nanostructured electrocatalytic materials,providing guidance for the design and fabrication of nanostructured HER catalysts.Moreover,recent progress and future research directions regarding the performance of metallic nanostructured materials are also discussed.

文摘Although VEGFR-3 deficiency disrupts blood vascular development during early embryogenesis, the underlying mechanism was not clear. To characterize its function in angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis, we employed two genetically modified mouse models in this study, targeting the coding region for the ligand-binding domain （Vegfr△LBD） or the tyrosine kinase domain with an inactivation point mutation （Vegfr3^TKmat）. We show that lymphatic growth was disrupted in Vegfr3△LBD/△LBD and Vegfr3^TKmut3^TKmat mice, but blood vessels developed normally in both embryo and yolk sac. Interestingly, in Vegfr3△LBD/△LBD but not Vegfr3^TKmut3^TKmat mice, lymph sac was present but there was lack of iym- phangiogenic sprouting. We further demonstrate that both the wild-type and mutant forms of VEGFR-3 could form heterodimers with VEGFR-2, and decreased the level of phospho-VEGFR-2 and the downstream phospho-Erk1/2 in endothelial cells when they were treated with VEGF-A. These findings indicate that signaling mediated via VEGFR-3 activation by its cognate ligands （VEGF-C/-D） is not required for angiogenesis, and that VEGFR-3 may play a role in this process by modulating VEGFR-2-mediated signals.
