活性氧响应的新型阳离子共聚物构建及其基因递送性能研究

引入快速、主动释放基因的机制是提升非病毒基因递送效率的关键. 本研究以2-甲基丙烯酰氧乙基磷酰胆碱(MPC)与(2-丙烯酰基)乙基(硼酸苄基)二乙基溴化铵(BD)为单体, 基于可逆加成-断裂链转移聚合(RAFT)反应制备具有活性氧响应性质的聚阳离子嵌段共聚物pM-pBD. 通过静电作用, 阳离子共聚物pM-pBD能够与带负电荷的DNA以分子自组装的方式形成纳米复合物. 其中, 阳离子pBD片段具有活性氧触发电荷反转的特性, 因此, 有助于获得活性氧触发的静电组装复合体结构解离, 从而实现可控基因释放的功能. 理化表征结果表明, pM-pBD与质粒DNA静电复合后能够形成粒径约为99.1 nm, ζ电位约为+13.8 mV, 显微形貌近似球形的纳米复合物. 在加入促过氧化氢产生的抗坏血酸后, 上述pM-pBD基因递送系统的转染效率得到了显著的提升. 因此, 本研究创制的pM-pBD为基因递送系统的可控释放提供了新的解决方案.     

Excited-State dynamics of conjugated polycarbosilane oligomers with branched dimethyl or diphenyl group

Dimethyl or diphenyl branched conjugated polycarbosilane oligomers in solutions, including poly[[1,4-bis(thiophenyl)buta-1,3-diyne]-alt-(dimethylsilane)], poly[[1,4-bis(thiophenyl)buta-1,3-diyne]-alt-(diphenylsilane)], poly[[1,4-bis(phenyl)buta-1,3-diyne]-alt-(dimethylsilane)], and poly[[1,4-bis(phenyl)buta-1,3-diyne]-alt-(diphenylsilane)], were investigated by steady-state and picosecond time-resolved spectroscopies to elucidate the effect of silicon-atom introduction into the π-conjugated copolymer backbone and the substitution of the aromatic phenyl group on the silicon atom. The introduction of silicon atoms into π-conjugated copolymer backbones induces slow decay emission components with lifetimes of about 450 ps in addition to π–π* local excited-state relaxations in the time-resolved fluorescence decay profiles. The diphenyls, which are branched in the silicon atoms, bring about broad, structureless emission bands in the low-frequency region of the steady-state fluorescence spectra. However, such broad bands do not occur in the case of dimethyl branched conjugated polycarbosilane oligomers. The time-resolved and solvent-dependent studies of these bands imply that the excited-state dynamics of diphenyl branched conjugated polycarbosilane oligomers can be related to an intramolecular charge-transfer dynamics through an inductive and (d-p) π-conjugation effect between the π-conjugated backbone and the branched phenyl ring. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Bulk polymerization of N-vinylcarbazole initiated by C60

In this communication, we first used [60]fullerene as initiator to initiate the bulk polymerization of N-vinylcarbazole (NVC) monomer at 70°C (slightly higher than the melting point temperature, 65°C, of NVC). A reasonable polymerization reaction pathway via C₆₀-NVC ion-radical pairs is suggested. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 37: 3745–3747, 1999     

团簇Aun+1-1、AunCr-1 (n=1-10)吸附CO的密度泛函理论研究

采用密度泛函理论对CO在阴离子团簇Aun+1-1、AunCr-1(n=1-10))表面的吸附做了系统研究.结果表明,团簇Aun+1CO-1、AunCrCO-1的基态结构是在团簇Aun+1-1、AunCr-1最低能量结构的基础上吸附CO形成; 吸附后的CO键长变长,振动频率减小,表明CO分子被活化;取值相同时,AunCrCO-1的平均结合能高,表明团簇Aun+1CO-1掺杂Cr后稳定性升高.HOMO-LOMO能隙结果表明Aun+1CO-1替代掺杂Cr原子后团簇的化学活性得到了提升,AunCrCO-1、Aun+1CO-1团簇能隙具有奇偶振荡的现象;轨道电荷分析表明CO与团簇相互作用实质是C原子与成键Au原子或Cr原子间转移电荷,CO在与团簇相互作用过程中O原子轨道电荷分布几乎没有发生变化.     

Peptide Charge Derivatization as a Tool for Early Detection of Preeclampsia by Mass Spectrometry—A Comparison with the ELISA Test

Early detection of any preeclampsia biomarkers may lower the risk of mortality, both for a mother and a child. Our study focuses on techniques for preeclampsia biomarker identification by comparing the results of a method using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry in multiple reaction monitoring mode (LC-MS/MS) with those by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test, as well as by comparing the obtained results with clinical data. In the proposed LC-MS/MS method a tryptic digest peptide charge derivatization strategy was used as a tool for sensitive detection of podocin, i.e., a previously discovered preeclampsia biomarker present in urine samples from pregnant women. Urine samples from pregnant women with diagnosed preeclampsia were collected at different stages of pregnancy and from healthy subjects, and then were analyzed by ELISA test and the proposed method with LC-MS/MS. Charge derivatization of the ε amino group of C-terminal lysine residues in tryptic digests by 2,4,6-triphenylpyrylium salt was performed to increase the ionization efficiency in the LC-MS/MS mode. Podocin was identified at the early stage of pregnancy, while its detection using an ELISA test was not possible. The protocol for urine sample preparation was optimized. Our results show that the proposed method by LC-MS/MS in combination with peptide charge derivatization, provides an ultrasensitive tool for diagnosis of preeclampsia, and provides earlier detection than a clinical diagnosis or ELISA test. The proposed solution may revolutionize medical diagnostics.     

瞬态荧光方法研究溶剂诱导的三苯胺衍生物的对称性破缺电荷转移动力学

在缺乏特征红外振动的情况下追踪具有四极或八极对称性分子的激发态对称性破缺电荷转移通常是很困难的.本文以一种具有八极对称性的三苯胺衍生物为研究对象,利用飞秒时间分辨瞬态荧光光谱方法获得发光跃迁偶极矩的演化动力学,进而实时表征了其溶剂诱导对称性破缺电荷转移的动力学过程.当该分子处于弱极性甲苯溶液中时,在激发态弛豫过程中其发射偶极矩变化较小;当处于较强极性的四氢呋喃溶液中时,其发射偶极矩在数皮秒内快速减小.在对比单体偶极分子的荧光动力学后,推断八极分子的发光态在强极性溶剂中经历溶剂诱导的结构变化,由激子耦合的八极对称性降低至激发定域的偶极对称性;而在较弱极性的溶剂中,其八极对称性在溶剂化稳定中得以较大程度的保持.
