    Cell cycle dependent cellular uptake of zinc oxide nanoparticles in human epidermal cells (2016)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-23
    Description: Metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs), including zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs have shown success for use as vehicles for drug delivery and targeting gene delivery in many diseases like cancer. Current anticancer chemotherapeutics fail to effectively differentiate between cancerous and normal cells. There is an urgent need to develop novel drug delivery system that can better target cancer cells while sparing normal cells and tissues. Particularly, ZnO NPs exhibit a high degree of cancer cell selectivity and induce cell death, oxidative stress, interference with the cell cycle progression and genotoxicity in cancerous cells. In this scenario, effective cellular uptake of NP seems to be crucial, which is shown to be affected by cell cycle progression. In the present study, the cytotoxic potential of ZnO NPs and the effect of different cell cycle phases on the uptake of ZnO NPs were examined in A431 cells. It is shown that the ZnO NPs led to cell death and reactive oxygen species generation and were able to induce cell cycle arrest in S and G 2 /M phase with the higher uptake in G 2 /M phase compared with other phases.

    Synergistic sorbent separation for one-step ethylene purification from a four-component mixture (2019)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    In: Science
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019
    Description: 〈p〉Purification of ethylene (C〈sub〉2〈/sub〉H〈sub〉4〈/sub〉), the largest-volume product of the chemical industry, currently involves energy-intensive processes such as chemisorption (CO〈sub〉2〈/sub〉 removal), catalytic hydrogenation (C〈sub〉2〈/sub〉H〈sub〉2〈/sub〉 conversion), and cryogenic distillation (C〈sub〉2〈/sub〉H〈sub〉6〈/sub〉 separation). Although advanced physisorbent or membrane separation could lower the energy input, one-step removal of multiple impurities, especially trace impurities, has not been feasible. We introduce a synergistic sorbent separation method for the one-step production of polymer-grade C〈sub〉2〈/sub〉H〈sub〉4〈/sub〉 from ternary (C〈sub〉2〈/sub〉H〈sub〉2〈/sub〉/C〈sub〉2〈/sub〉H〈sub〉6〈/sub〉/C〈sub〉2〈/sub〉H〈sub〉4〈/sub〉) or quaternary (CO〈sub〉2〈/sub〉/C〈sub〉2〈/sub〉H〈sub〉2〈/sub〉/C〈sub〉2〈/sub〉H〈sub〉6〈/sub〉/C〈sub〉2〈/sub〉H〈sub〉4〈/sub〉) gas mixtures with a series of physisorbents in a packed-bed geometry. We synthesized ultraselective microporous metal-organic materials that were readily regenerated, including one that was selective for C〈sub〉2〈/sub〉H〈sub〉6〈/sub〉 over CO〈sub〉2〈/sub〉, C〈sub〉2〈/sub〉H〈sub〉2〈/sub〉, and C〈sub〉2〈/sub〉H〈sub〉4〈/sub〉.〈/p〉

    Enteric commensal bacteria potentiate epithelial restitution via reactive oxygen species-mediated inactivation of focal adhesion kinase phosphatases [Medical Sciences] (2011)
    National Academy of Sciences
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-05-25
    Description: The mechanisms by which enteric commensal microbiota influence maturation and repair of the epithelial barrier are relatively unknown. Epithelial restitution requires active cell migration, a process dependent on dynamic turnover of focal cell-matrix adhesions (FAs). Here, we demonstrate that natural, commensal bacteria stimulate generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in intestinal epithelia. Bacteria-mediated ROS generation induces oxidation of target cysteines in the redox-sensitive tyrosine phosphatases, LMW-PTP and SHP-2, which in turn results in increased phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK), a key protein regulating the turnover of FAs. Accordingly, phosphorylation of FAK substrate proteins, focal adhesion formation, and cell migration are all significantly enhanced by bacterial contact in both in vitro and in vivo models of wound closure. These results suggest that commensal bacteria regulate cell migration via induced generation of ROS in epithelial cells.

    Non-metastatic 2 (NME2)-mediated suppression of lung cancer metastasis involves transcriptional regulation of key cell adhesion factor vinculin (2014)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-10-10
    Description: Tumor metastasis refers to spread of a tumor from site of its origin to distant organs and causes majority of cancer deaths. Although 〉30 metastasis suppressor genes (MSGs) that negatively regulate metastasis have been identified so far, two issues are poorly understood: first, which MSGs oppose metastasis in a tumor type, and second, which molecular function of MSG controls metastasis. Herein, integrative analyses of tumor-transcriptomes ( n = 382), survival data ( n = 530) and lymph node metastases ( n = 100) in lung cancer patients identified non-metastatic 2 (NME2) as a key MSG from a pool of 〉30 metastasis suppressors. Subsequently, we generated a promoter-wide binding map for NME2 using chromatin immunoprecipitation with promoter microarrays (ChIP-chip), and transcriptome profiling. We discovered novel targets of NME2 which are involved in focal adhesion signaling. Importantly, we detected binding of NME2 in promoter of focal adhesion factor, vinculin. Reduced expression of NME2 led to enhanced transcription of vinculin. In comparison, NME1, a close homolog of NME2, did not bind to vinculin promoter nor regulate its expression. In line, enhanced metastasis of NME2-depleted lung cancer cells was found in zebrafish and nude mice tumor models. The metastatic potential of NME2-depleted cells was remarkably diminished upon selective RNA-i-mediated silencing of vinculin. Together, we demonstrate that reduced NME2 levels lead to transcriptional de-repression of vinculin and regulate lung cancer metastasis.

    Peculiarities of the temperature dependence of electron spin resonance and Raman studies of Zn1−xNixO/NiO two-phase nanocomposites (2016)
    American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-02-18
    Description: A meticulous investigation of electron-spin-resonance (ESR) and Raman spectroscopy of the two-phase nanocomposites of Zn 1− x Ni x O/NiO is reported. The temperature variation of X-band ESR parameters viz., resonance field H R (T) and line-width ΔH PP (T) follows the power-law variation ( δ H R  = (ΔH PP ) n ) of Nagata and Ishihara model, which was used to understand the orientation of statistical ensemble of particles with respect to a given direction of the anisotropy axis. This analysis yields the exponent “n” ≃ 2.13 and 2.85 for the composite system Zn 1− x Ni x O/NiO and pure NiO suggesting the presence of partial and randomly oriented ellipsoidal nanocrystallites, respectively. The Raikher and Stepanov model has been employed to probe the role of amorphous Ni 3+ clusters on the observed ESR spectra. Interestingly, after Ni substitution, a new zone boundary phonon mode was noticed at 129 cm −1 for all the samples, which is usually forbidden in the first-order Raman scattering for wurtzite ZnO. In addition to the 2M magnon mode, two extra modes appear at 558 and 900 cm −1 due to the increased volume fraction of NiO within the Zn 1− x Ni x O matrix. A systematic correlation of the above results with a comparative analysis of their bulk counterpart has been presented.
