Copper Powder and Pd(II) Salts Triggered One-Pot Aromatic Halide Homocoupling via a Radical Pathway
(sp2)ÂC–(sp2)C bond formation
is one
of the most utilitarian techniques in target synthesis and material
and pharmaceutical production. Biaryls usually emerge with the coupling
of aryl halides or pseudohalides and require the prepreparation of
an organometallic reagent, which results in low efficiency and atomic
economy. The classic Ullmann reactions could be adopted to directly
synthesize biaryls from aromatic halides. However, the requirement
of extremely high temperatures limits the usage of the methodology
in manufacturing. At the same time, the mechanism triggers a wide
debate between classic redox and redox reactions involving radicals.
In this work, a bimetallic system was demonstrated, referring to stoichiometric
copper powder in the presence of a catalytic amount of PdÂ(OAc)2, which contributed to delivering various symmetric/asymmetric
(sp2)ÂC–(sp2)C species. It has been proposed
that the coupling process might be promoted via radicals produced
by redox between Cu(0) and PdÂ(IV) species in the heating system. Increasing
examples demonstrated the good tolerance of this method for aryl bromide
among functional groups
Image_1_Triglyceride–glucose index change and chronic kidney disease progression in a Chinese hypertensive population.pdf
BackgroundThe impact of triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index variations on chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression remains unexplored. To investigate the effects of the TyG index and its dynamic changes on CKD progression.MethodThis prospective cohort study included data from 8,418 hypertensive participants. The exposure variable in this study was defined as the difference between the TyG index at the last visit from that at baseline. The study’s outcome variable was the progression of CKD, defined as follows: for subjects with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥60 mL/min, a ≥30% decrease in eGFR with a final follow-up value ResultsDuring a median follow-up period of 48 months, 1077 patients were diagnosed with CKD progression. In the fully adjusted Model 3, patients with a change in the TyG index ConclusionsOur findings suggest that TyG variability may serve as a useful tool for identifying individuals at risk of CKD progression, particularly hypertensive patients with normal DBP levels.</p

Objectives<p>Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) exhibit a unique aggressive phenotype in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Increased FLS migration and subsequent invasion of the extracellular matrix are essential to joint destruction in RA. Our previous research reported that transcription factor SOX5 was highly expressed in RA-FLS. Here, the effects of SOX5 in RA-FLS migration and invasion will be investigated.</p>Methods<p>The migration and invasion of RA-FLS were evaluated using a transwell chamber assay. The expression of several potential SOX5-targeted genes, including matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1, 2, 3 and 9), chemokines (CCL4, CCL2, CCR5 and CCR2), and pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6), were examined in RA-FLS using SOX5 gain- and loss-of-function study. The molecular mechanisms of SOX5-mediated MMP-9 expressions were assayed by luciferase reporter gene and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) studies. The in vivo effect of SOX5 on FLS migration and invasion was examined using collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in DBA/1J mice.</p>Results<p>Knockdown SOX5 decreased lamellipodium formation, migration, and invasion of RA-FLS. The expression of MMP-9 was the only gene tested to be concomitantly affected by silencing or overexpressing SOX5. ChIP assay revealed that SOX5 was bound to the MMP-9 promoter in RA-FLS. The overexpression of SOX5 markedly enhanced the MMP-9 promoter activity, and specific deletion of a putative SOX5-binding site in MMP-9 promoter diminished this promoter-driven transcription in FLS. Locally knocked down SOX5 inhibited MMP-9 expression in the joint tissue and reduced pannus migration and invasion into the cartilage in CIA mice.</p>Conclusion<p>SOX5 plays a novel role in mediating migration and invasion of FLS in part by regulating MMP-9 expression in RA.</p
