- The development of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) emitters with a luminescence dissymmetry factor (|g|) approaching the theoretical limit of 2 remains a central challenge in chiral photonics. Herein, considerable g values (1.48-1.65) were achieved in helicates (NMe)[Eu(R/S-)] (ΔΔ/ΛΛ--) with different structural rigidity, as well as in crown ether-modified (NMe)[Eu(R/S-)] (ΔΔ/ΛΛ-) that exhibits adjustable coordination geometry symmetry. Notably, encapsulating bulkier [NEt] instead of a [NMe] counterion within the inner cavity of ΔΔ/ΛΛ- further elevates |g| to an unprecedented 1.71, the highest value for any chiral molecular emitter. While the NMe-ΔΔ/ΛΛ- achieves an ultrahigh CPL brightness (B = 3625 M cm), resulting from its large g value (1.63) and high quantum yield (Φ = 32%). Structural and spectroscopic analyses demonstrate that the high CPL activity originates from a conformationally rigidified square antiprismatic (SAP) geometry around the Eu(III) center. This structure and property relationship is vividly demonstrated by the crown-ether-functionalized ΔΔ-, where gradual binding of Cs ions triggers a pronounced g fluctuation (1.48 → 0.62 → 1.41) through a perturbation and subsequent restoration of the SAP environment. Furthermore, the multicrown-ether binding sites in ΔΔ- enable cooperative guest binding, facilitating the first naked-eye CPL recognition of the antispasmodic drug tizanidine. This work establishes rigidifying SAP configuration as a general design principle for maximizing the CPL activity of lanthanide complexes and opening avenues for advanced CPL applications. - Source: PubMed

Huang WenruYao ZhiweiYin SenGao TingCrassous JeanneZhou YanyanLi Hongfeng - This study aimed to comprehensively characterize the relationship between glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) by integrating population-level epidemiological profiling, Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis, multi-omics data, and single-cell transcriptomics. The objectives included clarifying the causal effect of HbA1c on IVDD, identifying key HbA1c-related genes, elucidating their cellular and molecular roles in disc degeneration, and exploring potential therapeutic targets. Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database was used to evaluate the incidence rate of diabetes mellitus (DM) and low back pain (LBP) across the entire global population. To assess the causal effect of HbA1c on IVDD, MR approache was conducted using summary statistics from large genome-wide association studies. Subsequently, integrating cis-eQTL information, bulk RNA sequencing, and single-cell RNA sequencing were performed to identify HbA1c-related genes involved in disc degeneration, and explore their roles along pseudotime differentiation trajectories. Potential associations between hub genes and IVDD, as well as candidate therapeutic compounds targeting these genes, were further evaluated through database screening and molecular docking. The findings from GBD indicated a correlation between diabetes and low back pain in both 1990 and 2021. The results of MR analysis revealed a causal relationship between HbA1c levels and IVDD. After integrated analysis of the eQTLGen database and RNA-seq data, we identified five hub HRGs, including STAT5A, CDKN1C, TRPS1, NME4, and OASL, which have been implicated in multiple biological processes and pathways associated with IVDD. Moreover, the scRNA-seq analysis showed that hub HRGs were associated with specific cell subpopulations in human nucleus pulposus (NP) tissues, such as inflamed chondrocytes, fibrochondrocytes, chondrocytes, and calcifying chondrocytes. Additionally, hub HbA1c related genes (HRGs) have been found to be associated with several DDDs such as back pain, osteoporosis, and spinal stenosis. Meanwhile, 12 drugs, including resveratrol, dexamethasone, and simvastatin, were identified that have the potential to target hub HRGs. This study revealed a causal effect of HbA1c on IVDD and identified five key HbA1c-related genes (STAT5A, CDKN1C, TRPS1, NME4, and OASL) involved in disc degeneration, providing potential targets for future research. - Source: PubMed

Li TaoqiongQian FeiChen YumeiLi Wei - Lung adenocarcinoma is a very aggressive cancer with poor clinical results. New molecular indicators are desperately needed to improve treatment decision-making. This study looks at the relationship between the immunological microenvironment and genes linked to pyrimidine metabolism, particularly those that undergo acetylation, and the prognostic significance of these genes. Using publicly accessible genomic and clinical data, we used Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA) to identify acetylated pyrimidine pathway components that are highly correlated with survival outcomes. Three potential genes-TK1, RRM2B, and NME4-were identified for their prognostic relevance by using sophisticated predictive modeling approaches including CoxBoost and a random forest survival analysis. Using CIBERSORT deconvolution and single-sample gene set enrichment, immunological landscape disparities were identified, and it was discovered that varied gene expression-acetylation patterns were linked to varying immune cell infiltration. Gene activity and acetylation status-based low-risk patients showed positive survival patterns and higher levels of antitumor immune populations, indicating possible receptivity to immune-based treatments. Functional validation experiments targeting TK1, including RNA interference followed by proliferation (CCK-8, EdU), migration (Transwell), and wound healing assays, substantiated its role in promoting tumor aggressiveness. Collectively, our findings suggest that integrating metabolic gene signatures with immunological context offers a promising framework for precision oncology in lung adenocarcinoma. - Source: PubMed
