Scaffolds made from biocompatible polymers provide physical cues to direct the extension of neurites and to encourage repair of damaged nerves. The inclusion of neurotrophic payloads in these scaffolds can substantially enhance regrowth and repair processes. However, many promising neurotrophic candidates are excluded from this approach due to incompatibilities with the polymer or with the polymer processing conditions. This work provides one solution to this problem by incorporating porous silicon nanoparticles (pSiNPs) that are preloaded with the therapeutic into a polymer scaffold during fabrication. The nanoparticle‐drug‐polymer hybrids are prepared in the form of oriented poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) nanofiber scaffolds. Three different therapeutic payloads are tested: bpV(HOpic), a small molecule inhibitor of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN); an RNA aptamer specific to tropomyosin‐related kinase receptor type B (TrkB); and the protein nerve growth factor (NGF). Each therapeutic is loaded using a loading chemistry that is optimized to slow the rate of release of these water‐soluble payloads. The drug‐loaded pSiNP‐nanofiber hybrids release approximately half of their TrkB aptamer, bpV(HOpic), or NGF payload in 2, 10, and >40 days, respectively. The nanofiber hybrids increase neurite extension relative to drug‐free control nanofibers in a dorsal root ganglion explant assay. 相似文献

The loss of apicobasal polarity during the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a hallmark of cancer and metastasis. The key feature of this polarity in epithelial cells is the subdivision of the plasma membrane into apical and basolateral domains, with each orchestrating specific intra- and extracellular functions. Epithelial transport and signaling capacities are thought to be determined largely by the quality, quantity, and nanoscale organization of proteins residing in these membrane domains, the apicobasal surfaceomes. Despite its implications for cancer, drug uptake, and infection, our current knowledge of how the polarized surfaceome is organized and maintained is limited. Here, we used chemoproteomic surfaceome scanning to establish proteotype maps of apicobasal surfaceomes and reveal quantitative distributions of, i.e., surface proteases, phosphatases, and tetraspanins as potential key regulators of polarized cell functionality. We show further that the tumor suppressor PTEN regulates polarized surfaceome architecture and uncover a potential role in collective cell migration. Our differential surfaceome analysis provides a molecular framework to elucidate polarized protein networks regulating epithelial functions and PTEN-associated cancer progression. 相似文献

The recent increase in the frequency of endometrial cancer has emphasized the need for accurate diagnosis and improved treatment. The current diagnosis is still based on conventional pathological indicators, such as clinical stage, tumor differentiation, invasion depth and vascular invasion. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying endometrial cancer have gradually been determined, due to developments in molecular biology, leading to the possibility of new methods of diagnosis and treatment planning. New candidate biomarkers for endometrial cancer include those for molecular epigenetic mutations, such as microRNAs. These biomarkers may permit earlier detection of endometrial cancer and prediction of outcomes and are likely to contribute to future personalized therapy for endometrial cancer. 相似文献

The activity and localization of PTEN, a tumor suppressor lipid phosphatase that converts the phospholipid PIP3 to PIP2, is governed in part by phosphorylation on a cluster of four Ser and Thr residues near the C terminus. Prior enzymatic characterization of the four monophosphorylated (1p) PTENs by using classical expressed protein ligation (EPL) was complicated by the inclusion of a non-native Cys at the ligation junction (aa379), which may alter the properties of the semisynthetic protein. Here, we apply subtiligase-mediated EPL to create wt 1p-PTENs. These PTENs are more autoinhibited than previously appreciated, consistent with the role of Tyr379 in driving autoinhibition. Alkaline phosphatase sensitivity analysis revealed that these autoinhibited 1p conformations are kinetically labile. In contrast to the Cys mutant 1p-PTENs, which are poorly recognized by an anti-phospho-PTEN antibody, three of the four wt 1p-PTENs are recognized by a commonly used anti-phospho-PTEN antibody. 相似文献

目的: 观察缬沙坦对自发性高血压大鼠(SHR) 心肌肥厚的影响, 以及对肿瘤抑制基因PTEN表达的影响。方法: 取20 只12 周龄自发性高血压大鼠, 随机分为2 组, 每组10 只:缬沙坦干预组, 给予缬沙坦30 mg·kg-1·d-1 溶于饮水灌胃治疗;SHR阳性对照组给予正常饮水。另有10 只同龄同源雄性正常血压Wistar-kyoto 大鼠(WKY 组) 作为正常对照组。实验周期8 周, 测量血压、左室重量 体重(LVW/BW), 应用免疫组化方法检测各组大鼠左心室心肌PTEN 的表达。结果: SHR 阳性对照组血压、LVW/BW 均高于正常对照组, 但低于缬沙坦组, SHR阳性对照组PTEN 的表达明显低于正常对照组, 而缬沙坦组PTEN 的表达显著高于SHR 阳性对照组。结论: 缬沙坦能抑制自发性高血压大鼠心肌肥厚, 并能提高PTEN 的表达, 提示PTEN 可能在心肌肥厚发展过程中起了一定的作用。 相似文献

目的 分析肿瘤抑制基因PTEN、混合系白血病(MLL)基因等在T淋巴母细胞淋巴瘤/白血病(T-LBL/ALL)的表达及意义.方法 选用76例T-LBL/ALl患者淋巴结存档蜡块,应用免疫组织化学EnVision法进行 PTEN标记,用20例反应性增生淋巴结标本作正常对照.并用荧光原位杂交(FISH)技术检测MLL基因所在1 1q23染色体的断裂和扩增情况.结果 76例T-LBL/ALL中,PTEN的表达率为64.47%(49/76),低于淋巴结反应性增生的100%(20/20)(λ2=19.220,P＜0.05).PTEN表达与临床分期、Ki-67、乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)呈负相关(P＜0.05).76例T-LBL/ALL中,MLL基因发生1 1q23染色体断裂13例(17.11%),扩增18例(23.68%).MLL基因断裂组总体生存率(25.0%)低于非断裂组(43.6%)(λ2=11.357,P＜0.05).MLL基因扩增组总体生存率(17.1%)低于非扩增组(42.7%)(λ2=4.533,P＜0.05).结论 抑癌基因PTEN表达降低在T-LBL/ALL的发生发展中可能具有重要作用.MLL基因发生染色体1 1q23断裂和扩增有助于对T-LBL/ALL预后的判断,发生MLL基因断裂或扩增的T-LBL/ALL预后较差,提示MLL基因断裂或扩增可能为T-LBL/ALL的一种分子亚型. 相似文献
