- This study explores the synthesis and evaluation of a novel composite material based on the in-situ growth of Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) on graphene oxide composite for the removal of urea from aqueous environments, particularly for artificial kidney applications. The synthesized MOF-808@rGO composite exhibits enhanced stability, tailored surface properties, and tunable pore structures, enabling effective urea adsorption. Both experimental methods and atomistic simulations were employed to investigate the interaction mechanisms between urea molecules and the composite. The synthesis process involves the in-situ growth of MOF-808 on GO surfaces, followed by heat treatment to produce the MOF-808@rGO composite. The resulting material was characterized using BET, SEM, PXRD, and FTIR analyses. Performance results indicate that the composite can achieve up to 755 mg/g of urea adsorption at a concentration of 2000 ppm, showing excellent recyclability over multiple adsorption cycles. The results demonstrate a significant improvement in urea adsorption capacity compared to the individual components. This enhancement is attributed to the synergistic effects of MOF-808 porosity and the presence of graphene oxide, which improve MOF dispersion, interfacial charge distribution, and the accessibility of adsorption sites. In-situ growth of MOF-808 on graphene oxide enhances pore accessibility and modifies interfacial surface chemistry, leading to increased urea-adsorbent interactions and improved structural stability of the composite. Notably, the synthesized composite maintained structural integrity and demonstrated reusability, addressing challenges related to the regeneration of adsorbents in clinical settings. The performance metrics were evaluated under simulated dialysis conditions, revealing promising outcomes for integrating these materials into portable dialysis systems. The findings contribute valuable insights to the optimization of MOF-graphene composites, paving the way for next-generation solutions in kidney disease management. This work underscores the potential of the MOF-808/graphene oxide composite as an innovative approach to enhance urea removal efficiency, ultimately benefiting patients with compromised renal function and improving the efficacy of dialysis technologies. - Source: PubMed

Xin QiZhang HenanZhao ZhengXu GangZhang Jihong - Diverse haematological neoplasms are driven by tyrosine kinase (TK) fusion genes formed by recurrent or non-recurrent genomic rearrangements. The resulting chimeric proteins often present excellent targets for treatment with kinase inhibitors, and the fusion transcripts or genomic junctions can be used as specific targets for molecular monitoring. Whilst the TK genes involved are generally well characterised (e.g. ABL1, PDGFRA, FGFR1), the fusion partners are very diverse, presenting a challenge for detection and characterisation of these structural variants (SV) using current diagnostic methods. We assessed the ability of targeted nanopore sequencing using adaptive sampling to detect fusion genes in myeloid neoplasms. We sequenced genomic DNA from patients (n = 20) with a known or suspected TK gene fusion and identified rearrangements in 18 cases, including all cases with a known TK fusion, typical and atypical BCR::ABL1 rearrangements, an 843Kb deletion causing a FIP1L1::PDGFRA fusion, novel AGAP2::PDGFRB and NFIA::PDGFRB fusions, and a complex CCDC88C::PDGFRB rearrangement with multiple translocation events. The approach was fast (<72 h/sample from DNA to result), flexible with minimal hands-on laboratory time, and provided accurate, patient-specific characterisation of genomic breakpoints. - Source: PubMed

Salmon MatthewNaumann NicoleRinke JennyMeggendorfer ManjaRadia DeeptiPomfret MarkErnst ThomasHochhaus AndreasReiter AndreasTapper William JWhite HelenCross Nicholas C P - Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based combination therapies, such as dual ICI therapy or ICI plus vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors, are recommended as first-line treatment for advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC). ICI-based combination therapy has improved the prognosis of patients with aRCC compared with the era of VEGF inhibitor monotherapy. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the prognosis and metastasis of several cancers, and extracellular vesicle (EV)-derived lncRNAs play important roles in tumor progression and metastasis, serving as prognostic biomarkers. The lncRNA AGAP2-AS1 is highly expressed in RCC and is associated with poorer prognosis in patients with elevated expression levels. This study aimed to investigate the function of lncRNA AGAP2-AS1 in RCC and explore whether serum-derived EV lncRNA AGAP2-AS1 serves as a prognostic biomarker in patients with aRCC. Firstly, we examined lncRNA AGAP2-AS1 expression in RCC and normal kidney tissues with pathologically confirmed RCC at our institution. We also performed a functional analysis of lncRNA AGAP2-AS1 in RCC cell lines. Additionally, we analyzed the relationship between the EV lncRNA AGAP2-AS1 expression and the prognosis of 47 patients with aRCC treated with ICI-based combined therapy. We observed higher lncRNA AGAP2-AS1 expression in RCC tissues than in normal tissues. Furthermore, AGAP2-AS1 knockdown in RCC cells using small interfering RNA significantly decreased cell viability, invasion, and migration. Patients with progressive disease (PD) receiving ICI-based combination therapy exhibited significantly higher expression of the EV lncRNA AGAP2-AS1 than patients without PD. We then classified 47 patients into two groups by median lncRNA AGAP2-AS1 expression. Notably, the high-expression group exhibited significantly worse progression-free survival and overall survival than the low-expression group (log-rank P = 0.0193 and log-rank P = 0.0256, respectively). In multivariate analysis, high EV lncRNA AGAP2-AS1 expression was an independent risk factor for disease progression (hazard ratio = 3.6, P = 0.0287). Overall, high EV lncRNA AGAP2-AS1 expression was associated with poorer prognosis in patients with aRCC. Therefore, serum-derived EV lncRNA AGAP2-AS1 may be an effective non-invasive prognostic biomarker in patients with aRCC treated with ICI-based combination therapy. - Source: PubMed
