The structure of complex 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction diffraction and further characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectrum, powder X-ray diffraction（XRD） and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 has 1D chains, which are further connected by π-π stacking interactions of neighbouring chains, generating a steady 3D supramolecular structure. Complex 2 shows the isolated mononuclear units, which are further extended to a 2D supramolecular layered structure through π-π stacking interactions and hydrogen bonds. Furthermore, complexes 1 and 2 exhibit green photoluminescent properties at room temperature.

文摘The molecular structures of fifteen possible 2-thioxanthine（2TX） complexes with one Hg^2＋ and two Cl-ions were fully optimized using density functional theory B3PW91/6-311＋＋G^＊＊ method. The effective pseudo potential LANL2DZ basis set was used for metal Hg^2＋ion. The vibrational analysis was also carried out at the same level. The bond lengths, bond angles, zero point energies, Gibbs free energies, thermodynamic energies and relative energies of all the complexes were obtained. The NBO analysis for natural charge and the second order perturbation energy values was carried out for three stable complexes and the IR spectroscopy of the two complexes was assigned to the experimental data. The results show that the 2-thioxanthine complexes with one Hg^2＋ and two Cl^-ions were formed and the complexes resulting from the thione tautomer are more stable than that of the thiol ones. The order of three complexes with relative lower energy is 2TX（1,3,7）-Hg^2＋-2, 2 TX（1,3,7）-Hg^2＋-1 and 2 TX（1,3,9）-Hg^2＋. The calculated IR spectroscopy of the two complexes agreed with the experimental data.

文摘OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Jiawei Huangqi Guizhi decoction(加味黄芪桂枝汤)on chronic atrophic gastritis(CAG)in rats and its modulation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 2(PI3K/Akt/m TORC2)signaling pathway.METHODS:CAG was induced in rats and treated with high-,medium-,or low-dose Jiawei Huangqi Guizhi decoction.Gastric histopathology was observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining.Serum levels of gastrin,PI3K,Akt,and m TORC2 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Gene and protein expression levels were analyzed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and western blot.RESULTS:The decoction alleviated gastric mucosal injury,reduced inflammation,and restored epithelial structure.It regulated PI3K,Akt,and m TORC2 expression at both m RNA and protein levels.CONCLUSION:Jiawei Huangqi Guizhi decoction may prevent CAG progression by improving gastric tissue and modulating the PI3K/Akt/m TORC2 signaling pathway.
文摘Covalently linked phthalocyanine complexes were incorporated in bilayer lipid membranes(BLN) and deposited on SnO_2 transparent electrodes, Their photovoltages were measured and compared. It has been found that a more favorable orientation and closer proximity are attained in the diad compounds between the donor (phthalocyanine)-acceptor(anthraquinone) pair than in the simple compound for efficient light-induced charge separation and transfer. The triad compound is the best among all tested compounds.
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.
文摘Binary sequences constructed by Legendre symbols are widely used in communication and cryptography since they have many good pseudo-random properties.In this paper,we determine the 2-adic complexity of the sum sequence of any k many Legendre sequences and show that the 2-adic complexity of the sum sequences of any k many Legendre sequences reaches the maximum by proving the case of k=2 and 3,which implies that the sum sequences can resist the attack of rational approximation algorithm.

文摘Enhancer of zeste homolog 2(EZH2)is a key epigenetic regulatory protein and enzyme catalytic subunit of the polycomb repressor complex 2(PRC2),responsible for catalyzing the trimethylation of histone H3K27 and subsequent repression of gene transcription.Abnormal EZH2 expression or mutation is associated with various cancers,particularly lymphoma,and breast and prostate cancer.EZH2 has been investigated as an important target in cancer therapy and potential EZH2-targeted drugs have been developed.This article reviews the research progress on the mechanism of transcriptional regulation of EZH2 and the development and clinical use of some inhibitors targeting EZH2.
文摘Objectives:Although Yes-associated protein 1(YAP1)is an important oncogene in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)progression,its nuclear localization prevents it from being considered a potential therapeutic target.Recently,studies have reported that coatomer protein complex subunit beta 2(COPB2)also plays a critical role in HCC development;however its mechanism of action is unclear.This study aimed to investigate the role of COPB2 and YAP1 in the progression of HCC and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.Methods:COPB2 and YAP1 expression in HCC tissues were first analyzed by database searches and immunohistochemistry.Nomogram and artificial neural network models were established based on COPB2 and YAP1 expression.Cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit-8 and clone formation assay,while cell migration and invasion were assessed using Transwell assays.Finally,the potential mechanisms underlying COPB2 regulation of YAP1 nuclear translocation were explored by immunofluorescence assay and Western blot.Results:COPB2 combined with YAP1 expression was associated with overall postoperative survival in HCC patients and was an independent prognostic factor.High expression of both COPB2 and YAP1 in patients may reduce the efficacy of postoperative transarterial chemoembolization therapy.In vitro experiments revealed that COPB2 affected the sensitivity of HCC cells to Cisplatin(DDP)by regulating YAP1 nuclear translocation.Conclusions:Our findings suggest that COPB2/YAP1 affects the drug sensitivity of HCC cells to DDP and that targeting COPB2/YAP1 may be a promising strategy for the precision treatment of HCC.

文摘An array of pyridine-ester enolate based organoboron complexes has been designed and synthesized via a one-pot cascade of Pd-catalyzedα-arylation and BF2complexation.The rapid structure-activity relationship(SAR)studies indicated that unsymmetrical N,O-chelated BF2complexes were highly fluorescent in solid state,and exhibited large Stokes shifts,excellent photostability,along with insensitivity to p H.Theα-aryl group could not only modulate the electronic effect but also inhibit the intermolecularπ-πstacking to promote the aggregation-induced emission(AIE)effect.DFT calculations and experiments identified that the intramolecular charge transfer properties of these N,O-chelates could be switched by the modification of substituents,resulting tunable fluorescence wavelengths.Furthermore,post-complexation modification was accomplished,including Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling,Buchwald-Hartwig amination,oxidative cleavage,along with a unique triple substitution reaction involving propargyl Grignard reagents.The exemplificative application of dimethylamine substituted boron complex as a reversible acidic vapor sensor was also demonstrated.
