    羟基磷灰石因与骨骼、牙齿极其相似,在医学和材料学领域被广泛研究。人体骨骼并不完全等同羟基磷灰石,比如骨骼中碳酸根离子含量在4~8wt%。羟基磷灰石发生碳酸根离子取代,即形成碳酸化羟基磷灰石(CHAp)。CHAp比羟基磷灰石有更高的骨骼再生率和骨传导性。其制备方法很多,最常用的液相法存在外来离子掺杂、有机溶剂残留等问题。本研究提出加压固相法,即采用加压CO2作为碳源,同钙、磷源的固体盐合成CHAp;分析研究CO2嵌入反应机理;将合成的CHAp应用于Mn2+的吸附。 采用CO2介入的加压固相法,考察不同钙源和磷源在加压固相法中的反应效果,以Ca(OH)2(蛋壳)为钙源,以Na2HPO4·12H2...Hydroxylapatite similar to bone and teeth, is widely used in medical and material areas.But biological apatite is not just hydroxylapatite, for example, the carbonate content in bone is about 4–8 wt%.

    已有研究证实,Hippo信号通路失活会造成肝脏肿大和肿瘤发生,其中Yap的活性在Mst1/2双敲除小鼠肝细胞癌的发生中非常重要;内质网稳态的异常调节也在多种癌症中出现,但未折叠蛋白反应(UPR)在组织稳态中的调节作用还不清楚。我们之前的研究工作发现,在Mst1/2双敲除的小鼠肝脏中UPR被明显激活;进一步研究发现,UPR中的PERK支路能够调控Yap的转录。因此,我们想探究Hippo信号通路和UPR信号通路在肝癌发生发展中的关系。 我们认为Mst1/2双敲除小鼠肝脏中存在的慢性内质网应激,是导致肿瘤产生的重要原因。因此,我们用低剂量的衣霉素(tunicamycin,TM)刺激HepG2细胞,...It has been well established that Hippo pathway deficiency leads to liver overgrowth and tumorigenesis and Yap activation is critical for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development and maintenance.

    AMPK和mTORC1是机体和细胞内最重要的调节代谢稳态的分子。人们已经发现,AMPK复合体能够通过与体内AMP结合从而感知体内AMP/ATP的水平,并在该水平较高(即能量水平较低)的情况下引发其复合体活性的增加。该结果直接导致了多条信号通路的抑制或激活,从而引起一系列的生理变化。其结果是增加体内的产能代谢从而达到稳定体内能量水平的作用。与AMPK相反,mTORC1的激活需要在细胞内能量水平较高的情况下才能发生。mTORC1激活进一步激活了一系列下游分子,这些激活的分子造成的结果也恰恰和AMPK所造成的结果相反:增加耗能的合成代谢从而促进细胞增殖。目前的研究还表明,AMPK和mTORC1在肿瘤...AMPK and mTORC1 are the most important regulators that control metabolic homeostasis in cells and organisms.

    溶血卵磷脂(lysophosphatidylcholine,lysoPC)是氧化低密度脂蛋白(oxidizedlow-densitylipoprotein,ox-LDL)的主要成分。早期的研究表明,lysoPC可诱导人冠状动脉平滑肌细胞(humancoronaryarterysmoothmusclecells,HCASMCs)凋亡,但具体机制尚不清楚。近期,我们通过细胞活力测定,流式细胞术,共聚焦显微镜及分子生物学手段对lysoPC作用的分子机制进行研究发现,lysoPC可引发细胞外钙离子内流,并显著抑制HCASMCs的生长。并且经典的钙离子阻滞剂La3+、TRPC通道阻滞剂SKF-96365...Lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC) is a major component of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL).

    Progress on Bioavailability of Calcium and Calcium-Peptide Complexes

    Get PDF
    Calcium is an essential nutrient for human health and plays a crucial role in various physiological processes such as bone formation, muscle contraction, nerve transmission, and blood clotting. Calcium absorption mainly occurs in the small intestine where the calcium enters the enterocytes through active transport or passive diffusion. However, the free calcium ions dissolved in gastric acid may form insoluble precipitates with other dietary components (such as phytate, oxalate, fiber) in the slightly alkaline intestinal environment, leading to decreased calcium absorption and bioavailability. Decreased calcium absorption can result in a range of bone metabolic diseases, such as rickets and osteoporosis. Therefore, it is important to choose foods or supplements that can provide highly soluble and bioavailable forms of calcium. Some organic calcium salts such as calcium gluconate and calcium citrate have been shown to form supersaturated solutions in the intestinal tract, which can enhance calcium absorption by increasing the concentration gradient across the intestinal epithelium. Furthermore, calcium-peptide complexes are proven to be very effective for improving calcium absorption without causing any side effects. Calcium-peptide complexes can serve as a novel calcium supplement. In this paper, the effects of food components on calcium absorption and bioavailability are reviewd, and the mechanisms underlying the enhancement of calcium absorption by some organic salts (such as calcium gluconate and calcium citrate) and peptides are summarized. And the potential applications of calcium-peptide complexes in human nutrition are also discussed, aiming to provide new insights that can aid in the development of safe and effective calcium supplement

    背景和目的:EGFR的激活和PKM2的表达有助于肿瘤的形成和发展。EGFR激活是以亚室依赖性的方式调节了PKM2的功能并且促进了基因的转录和肿瘤的生长。此外,在恶性神经胶质瘤中,EGFR诱导的信号上调了PKM2的表达。然而,我们发现在胃癌细胞中PKM2也能调节EGF/EGFR信号通路的活性。我们的研究目的是想明确PKM2在调节胃癌细胞迁移和侵袭功能方面的生物学机制。 方法:我们采用短发夹RNA转染BGC823、SGC7901和AGS这三株胃癌细胞株,最后通过筛选稳定沉默PKM2的表达。我们用体外实验评估了PKM2对肿瘤细胞的迁移和侵袭方面发挥的作用。免疫组织化学分析是用来探索PKM2和其他蛋...Background and Aims: EGFR activation and PKM2 expression are instrumental in tumorigenesis.
