    Chemistry-Informed Generative Model for Classical Dynamics Simulations

    No full text
    In this work, a chemistry-informed generative model was proposed, leading to the chemistry-informed generative adversarial network (CI-GAN) approach. To easily build the input database for complex molecular systems, an image-input algorithm is also implemented, leading to the capability to directly recognize the molecular image. Extensive test calculations and analysis on typical examples, H + H2, OH + HO2, and H2O/TiO2(110), find that the present CI-GAN approach generates distributions of geometry and energy. Calculations on the above examples show that the present CI-GAN approach is able to generate 50%–80% meaningful results among all of the generated data with chemistry constraints. Thus, it has the potential capability to predict classical dynamics simulations as well as ab initio calculations avoiding expensive calculations. These results and the power of CI-GANs in generating ab initio energies and MD trajectories are deeply discussed

    DataSheet1_Circulating Natural Autoantibodies to HER2-Derived Peptides Performed Antitumor Effects on Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.docx

    Natural autoantibodies play a crucial role in destruction of malignant tumors due to immune surveillance function. Epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) has been found to be highly expressed in a variety of epithelial tumors including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The present study was thus undertaken to investigate the effect of anti-HER2 natural autoantibodies on OSCC. Compared with cancer-adjacent tissues, cancer tissues from OSCC patients exhibited higher HER2 expression especially in those with middle & advanced stage OSCC. Plasma anti-HER2 IgG levels examined with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) developed in-house showed differences between control subjects, individuals with oral benign tumor and patients with OSCC. In addition, anti-HER2 IgG-abundant plasma was screened from healthy donors to treat OSCC cells and to prepare for anti-HER2 intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg). Both anti-HER2 IgG-abundant plasma and anti-HER2 IVIg could significantly inhibit proliferation and invasion of OSCC cells by inducing the apoptosis, and also regulate apoptosis-associated factors and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), respectively. Besides, the complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) pathway was likely to contribute to the anti-HER2 IgG mediated inhibition of OSCC cells. After the HER2 gene was knocked down with HER2-specific siRNAs, the inhibitory effects on OSCC cell proliferation and apoptotic induction faded away. In conclusion, human plasma IgG, or IVIg against HER2 may be a promising agent for anti-OSCC therapy.</p
