文摘Objectives:The eukaryotic initiation factor 4F(eIF4F)translation initiation complex inhibitors(eIF4Fi)were recently found to hyperactivate extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2(ERK1/2)signals,which contribute to acquired resistance to BRAF(B-Raf proto-oncogene,serine/threonine kinase)inhibitors in melanoma.This present study aims to elucidate how to overcome the resistance of the eIF4Fi in BRAFV600E mutant melanoma cells and explore the underlying mechanisms.Methods:Melanoma A375(vemurafenib[VEM]-sensitive)and A375R(VEM-resistant)cells were exposed to eIF4Fi RocA at varying doses and durations in vitro.We investigated the impact of RocA on the activity of ERK1/2,AKT serine/threonine kinase 1(AKT1),eIF4E,and enhancer of zeste homolog 2(EZH2).We then examined the impact of RocA on pro-apoptotic BH3-only proteins and proliferative proteins.We subsequently determined the effect of combined eIF4Fi,AKT1 inhibitor,EZH2 inhibitor or VEM on tumor growth in vitro and in vivo.Results:RocA inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis in A375 cells,but inhibited proliferation in A375R cells.RocA rapidly reactivated ERK1/2 at 3 h and returned to baseline levels at 48 h.However,eIF4E and AKT1 activation began at 12 h and peaked at 48 h.ERK1/2 positively regulated EZH2 and EZH2-dependent expression of c-Fos and EGR1,while AKT1 negatively regulated c-Myc,c-Jun,and BMF,but positively regulated eIF4E.RocA downregulated ERK1/2(or EZH2,AKT1,and eIF4E)independent bcl-2 and Mcl-1 expression.AKT1i enhanced RocA-induced cell apoptosis,while EZH2i reduced RocA-induced cell proliferation.Combined CR-1-31-B,EZH2i,and AKT1i effectively overcame resistance to RocA and VEM resistance both in vitro and in vivo.Conclusion:The eIF4F complex inhibitor reactivates ERK1/2-EZH2 and AKT1 signaling pathways,resulting in resistance to both eIF4Fi and VEM.Combined administration of an eIF4Fi with EZH2 and AKT1 inhibitors effectively enhances sensitivity to both eIF4F complex and BRAF inhibitors.

文摘A new energetic complex,[Co（3,3？-Hbpt）（Htm）]·H_2O（1,3,3？-Hbpt = 3,5-bis（3-pyridyl）-1H-1,2,4-triazole and H_3tm = trimesic acid）,has been synthesized by hydrothermal reactions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction,elementary analysis,IR spectroscopy,thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray powder diffraction. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction indicates that the complex belongs to triclinic system,space group P 1 with a = 10.0911（1）,b = 10.2573（1）,c = 10.6393（1） ？,α = 103.793（2）,β = 101.041（2）,γ = 107.918（3）o,V = 974.9（2） ？~3,Z = 2,D_c = 1.732 g·cm-3,μ = 0.941 mm^（-1）,M_r = 508.31,F（000） = 518,the final R = 0.0523 and wR = 0.0935 with I 〉 2σ（I）. In the title complex,Co（Ⅱ） ions are connected by Htm2-anions generating 1D ladder-like chains which are linked by 3,3？-Hbpt to form 1D cages. In addition,the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate（AP） with complex 1 was explored by differential scanning calorimetry（DSC）. AP is completely decomposed in a shorter time in the presence of complex 1,and the decomposition heat of the mixture is 2.531 kJ·g^（-1）,significantly higher than that of pure AP. By Kissinger＇s method,the ratio of Ea/ln（A） is 11.05 for the mixture,which indicates that complex 1 shows good catalytic activity toward the AP decomposition.
文摘To achieve efficient catalytic hydrogenation of CO_(2)to formate,we employed a transmetallation strategy to develop three novel iridium(Ⅰ)complexes,which feature N‑heterocyclic carbene‑nitrogen‑phosphine ligands(CNP)and a 1,5‑cyclooctadiene(cod)molecule:[Ir(cod)(κ^(3)‑CN^(im)P)]Cl(1⁃Cl),[Ir(cod)(κ^(3)‑CN^(im)P)]PF6(1⁃PF_(6)),and[Ir(cod)(κ^(3)‑CNHP)]Cl(2).The^(1)H NMR spectra,^(31)P NMR spectra,and high‑resolution mass spectra verify the successful synthesis of these three Ir(Ⅰ)‑CNP complexes.Furthermore,single‑crystal X‑ray diffraction analysis confirms the coordination geometry of 1⁃PF_(6).The strong Ir—C(NHC)bond suggests that the carbene carbon plays an enhanced anchoring role to iridium due to its strongσ‑donating ability,which helps stabilize the active metal species during CO_(2)hydrogenation.As a result,the Ir(Ⅰ)‑CNP complex exhibits remarkable activity and long catalytic lifetime for the hydrogenation of CO_(2)to formate,reaching a turnover number(TON)of 1.16×10^(6)after 150 h at a high temperature of 170℃,which was a relatively high value among all the Ir complexes.CCDC:2384071,1⁃PF_(6).
文摘Two Gd_(2)complexes,namely[Gd_(2)(dbm)_(2)(HL_(1))_(2)(CH_(3)OH)_(2)]·4CH_(3)OH(1)and[Gd_(2)(dbm)_(2)(L_(2))_(2)(CH_(3)OH)_(2)]·2CH_(3)OH(2),where H_(3)L_(1)=(Z)-N'-[4-(diethylamino)-2-hydroxybenzylidene]-2-hydroxyacetohydrazide,H_(2)L_(2)=(E)-N'-(5-bromo-2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)nicotinohydrazide,Hdbm=dibenzoylmethane,have been constructed by adopting the solvothermal method.Structural characterization unveils that both complexes 1 and 2 are constituted by two Gd^(3+)ions,two dbm-ions,two CH_(3)OH molecules,and two polydentate Schiff-base ligands(HL_(1)^(2-)or L_(2)^(2-)).In addition,complex 1 contains four free methanol molecules,whereas complex 2 harbors two free methanol molecules.By investigating the interactions between complexes 1 and 2 and four types of bacteria(Bacillus subtilis,Escherichia coli,Staphylococcus aureus,Candida albicans),it was found that both complexes 1 and 2 exhibited potent antibacte-rial activities.The interaction mechanisms between the ligands H_(3)L_(1),H_(2)L_(2),complexes 1 and 2,and calf thymus DNA(CT-DNA)were studied using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy,fluorescence titration,and cyclic voltammetry.The results demonstrated that both complexes 1 and 2 can intercalate into CT-DNA molecules,thereby inhibiting bacterial proliferation to achieve the antibacterial effects.CCDC:2401116,1;2401117,2.

文摘Pathological cardiac hypertrophy is an early and significant cardiac structural characteristic that contributes to the onset and progression of heart failure(HF).Its mainly structural feature is the abnormally enlarged cardiomyocyte.Effective intervention targets for abnormally enlarged cardiomyocyte remain to be identified.Previous studies have shown that the cellular shape and size can be regulated by the actin related protein 2/3(Arp2/3)complex,which is an actin-binding protein complex involved in the actin nucleation and assembly.However,the roles of the Arp2/3 complex in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy remain unknown.Here our study identifies its novel roles in the occurrence and development of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.We found that mRNA levels of all subunits from the Arp2/3 complex are significantly upregulated(P<0.05)in the angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ)-induced neonatal rat primary and H9c2 cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.Further studies showed that siRNA-directed ARPC 2 silencing inhibits the reactivation of fetal genes and enlargement of cardiomyocyte area induced by Ang Ⅱ in neonatal rat primary cardiomyocytes(NRCMs)and H9c2 cells(P<0.05).In addition,the upstream activators of the Arp2/3 complex including SH3 protein interacting with Nck,90 kD(SPIN90)and Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1(Rac1)/WASp family Verprolin-homologous protein-2(WAVE-2)are upregulated(P<0.05)in Ang Ⅱ-induced neonatal rat primary and H9c2 cardiomyocyte hypertrophy,indicating the excessive activation of the Arp2/3 complex.We further show that CK666,a specific Arp2/3 complex inhibitor,prevents the reactivation of fetal genes and the enlargement of cardiomyocyte area induced by Ang Ⅱ in NRCMs and H9c2 cells(P<0.05).Our results reveal that the Arp2/3 complex plays a crucial role in Ang Ⅱ-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy,which is beneficial to further studies about the molecular mechanisms by which the Arp2/3 complex regulates pathological cardiac hypertrophy.
