    P-glycoprotein (Pgp), encoded by the multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1) gene, is an efflux transporter and plays an important role in pharmacokinetics. In this study, we demonstrated that the pokemon promoter activity, the pokemon mRNA and protein expression can be significantly inhibited by Pgp. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay showed that Pgp can bind the pokemon prompter to repress pokemon transcription activity. Furthermore, Pgp regulated pokemon transcription activity through expression of p53 as seen by use of p53 siRNA transfected MCF-7 cells or p53 mutated MDA-MB-231 cells. Moreover, p53 was detected to bind with Pgp in vivo using immunoprecipitation assay. Taken together, we conclude that Pgp can regulate the expression of pokemon through the presence of p53, suggesting that Pgp is a potent regulator and may offer an effective novel target for cancer therapy

    Using the local multiscale energy and vorticity analysis (MS-EVA) and based on the global high-resolution ocean reanalysis product GLORYS12V1 for 20 years, this study investigates the energy transfers and conversions of Kuroshio in the Luzon Strait and its adjacent regions through three scales, namely, the climatological scale, the seasonal scale, and the eddy scale. The results show that the inverse cascades of kinetic energy dominate the energy transfer east of Luzon (at both the eddy and seasonal scales). Kuroshio transfers the climatological kinetic energy to the eddy scale through a forward energy cascade in Luzon Strait and east of Taiwan. Because the topography of Luzon Strait and Kuroshio jointly block and limit the westward propagation of non-local eddies, the eddy energy in the South China Sea west of Luzon Strait tends to depend on local forward potential energy cascades. In these subregions, potential energy drives the accumulation of kinetic energy under the action of buoyancy conversion: interannual (seasonal) potential energy as the source of multiscale energy in the Luzon Strait (the east of Taiwan)

    Previous studies have pointed out that spectral nudging is still insufficient in improving the long-term simulation ability of numerical models. In response to this problem, this study started with the Luzon Strait and its adjacent areas and discussed the influence of the selection of correction targets on its long-term spectral nudging. We established two sets of numerical experiments with the same parameter configuration except for the correction target: one was the monthly climatological target, and the other was the monthly real-time. The results showed that, compared with the climatology, the real-time target improved the consistency with the observations in large-scale variability on the premise of ensuring the correction of the climatological bias of the model. Further verification of the real-time scheme better simulated the meso- and small-scale characteristics, especially more accurately reproducing the position, intensity, and movement trend of eddies when the Kuroshio intrusion event occurred. Multi-scale energy analysis revealed the significance of adjusting large-scale potential energy to improve the overall simulation ability. The premise is that the correction target needs to fully contain these effective large-scale signals and non-stationary features, and then introduce them into the numerical integration of the regional model through appropriate band-pass filter parameter settings, driving a more reasonable large-scale background state thereby

    Membrane materials and open-close roof buildings are new building materials and structural forms, which have developed rapidly in recent years. This new form of close combination of architecture and nature has enriched the connotation of architecture, exhibited the city, but also to the architectural design and construction has brought great challenges. Through the research and analysis of the performance of the membrane material, this study provides a reference for the design and construction of the domestic membrane material for the opening and closing roof structure

    Coverless Image Steganography Based on Generative Adversarial Network

    Traditional image steganography needs to modify or be embedded into the cover image for transmitting secret messages. However, the distortion of the cover image can be easily detected by steganalysis tools which lead the leakage of the secret message. So coverless steganography has become a topic of research in recent years, which has the advantage of hiding secret messages without modification. But current coverless steganography still has problems such as low capacity and poor quality .To solve these problems, we use a generative adversarial network (GAN), an effective deep learning framework, to encode secret messages into the cover image and optimize the quality of the steganographic image by adversaring. Experiments show that our model not only achieves a payload of 2.36 bits per pixel, but also successfully escapes the detection of steganalysis tools
