Identification of novel rheumatoid arthritis-associated MiRNA-204-5p from plasma exosomes

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by infiltration of immune cells in the synovium. However, the crosstalk of immune cells and synovial fibroblasts is still largely unknown. Here, global miRNA screening in plasma exosomes was carried out with a custom microarray (RA patients vs. healthy controls = 9:9). A total of 14 exosomal miRNAs were abnormally expressed in the RA patients. Then, downregulated expression of exosomal miR-204-5p was confirmed in both the replication (RA patients vs. healthy controls = 30:30) and validation groups (RA patients vs. healthy controls = 56:60). Similar to the findings obtained in humans, a decreased abundance of exosomal miR-204-5p was observed in mice with collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). Furthermore, Spearman correlation analysis indicated that plasma exosomal miR-204-5p expression was inversely correlated with disease parameters of RA patients, such as rheumatoid factor, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein. In vitro, our data showed that human T lymphocytes released exosomes containing large amounts of miR-204-5p, which can be transferred into synovial fibroblasts, inhibiting cell proliferation. Overexpression of miR-204-5p in synovial fibroblasts suppressed synovial fibroblast activation by targeting genes related to cell proliferation and invasion. In vivo assays found that administration of lentiviruses expressing miR-204-5p markedly alleviated the disease progression of the mice with CIA. Collectively, this study identified a novel RA-associated plasma exosomal miRNA-204-5p that mediates the communication between immune cells and synovial fibroblasts and can be used as a potential biomarker for RA diagnosis and treatment.Subject terms: Diagnostic markers, Non-coding RNAs

二氧化钛基Z型异质结光催化剂

二氧化钛(TiO_2)因廉价、无毒、化学性质稳定以及具有较强的光催化氧化还原能力,在光催化领域占据着重要的地位。然而,可见光利用率低以及光生电子-空穴对的快速复合是限制其应用的2个主要因素。二氧化钛基Z型异质结作为一种新型光催化剂,既改善了二氧化钛的2个缺陷,又表现出比TiO_2更强的氧化或还原能力。本文概括了TiO_2光催化剂、异质结光催化剂和TiO_2基Z型光催化剂的能带排列和电子传递原则,探讨了Z型异质结和type-Ⅱ异质结的异同点以及区分方法,并归纳总结了TiO_2基Z型异质结在光催化领域中的应用。

Wronskian,Gramian, Pfaffian and periodic-wave solutions for a (3+1)-dimensional generalized nonlinear evolution equation arising in the shallow water waves

Application of the shallow water waves in environmental engineering and hydraulic engineering is seen. In this paper, a (3+1)-dimensional generalized nonlinear evolution equation (gNLEE) for the shallow water waves is investigated. The Nth-order Wronskian, Gramian and Pfaffian solutions are proved, where N is a positive integer. Soliton solutions are constructed from the Nth-order Wronskian, Gramian and Pfaffian solutions. Moreover, we analyze the second-order solitons with the influence of the coefficients in the equation and illustrate them with graphs. Through the Hirota-Riemann method, one-periodic-wave solutions are derived. Relationship between the one-periodic-wave solutions and one-soliton solutions is investigated, which shows that the one-periodic-wave solutions can approach to the one-soliton solutions under certain conditions. We reduce the (3+1)-dimensional gNLEE to a two-dimensional planar dynamic system. Based on the qualitative analysis, we give the phase portraits of the dynamic system.

     

Theoretical Studies on the Hydrogen Bonds of Different Position Action Mechanisms of Thymine with Uracil

In this research, the hydrogen bonds Y···H-X(X = C, N; Y = N, O) of thymine and uracil have been theoretically studied. The results show that hydrogen bond leads to bond length elongation and stretches the frequency red-shift of N-H···Y. Meanwhile, the C-H···O bonds shorten and stretch the frequency blue-shift. They all belong to traditional hydrogen bonds. The intermolecular charge transfer caused by the intermolecular hyperconjugation ρ*(N–H) →n(Y) and intramolecular charge redistribution by intramolecular hyperconjugation ρ(C-H)→ρ*(C-N) play important roles in the formation of hydrogen bonds. According to the judgment standards proposed by Bader and Popelier, these hydrogen bonds have typical electron density topological properties. Electrostatic surface potential(ESP) is a useful physicochemical property of a molecule that provides insights into inter- and intramolecular associations, as well as the prediction of likely sites of electrophilic and nucleophilic metabolic attack.
