ABSTRACT
Ferroptosis is a newly discovered form of cell death in recent years. Its essence is the cell peroxidation death caused by the accumulation of intracellular lipid reactive oxygen species (L-ROS) in a iron-dependent manner. As a highly efficient ferroptosis inducer, Erastin mediates ferroptosis through multiple molecules, such as cystine-glutamate transport receptor, voltage-dependent anion channel and p53. More importantly, Erastin can enhance the sensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, so it can be used as a new type of anticancer drug. This article reviews the discovery of Erastin, the pathways of ferroptosis, the pathways of Erastin-induced ferroptosis, the anti-tumor characteristics of Erastin, and the latest domestic and international research results.
ABSTRACT
The occurrence of thyroid gland is easily affected by iodine deficiency, the enzyme defect, drugs, autoimmune and other factors. The increased incidence of thyroid cancer year by year has threatened the health of the human, which requires to study thyroid gland cancer invasion and metastasis, investigate the molecular mechanism of cancer metastasis, search the differential molecular expression gene, predict the metastatic biomarkers and the intervening treatment target molecule, in order to improve the cure rate and the survival rate. This paper reviews the possible role of long chain non-coding RP11-23J9.4-miRNA-15a-axis inhibiting factor 2-Wnt pathway in the occurrence, development and dedifferentiation of thyroid cancer.
ABSTRACT
Abstract A chiral separation and residue determination method for cis-epoxiconazole enantiomers in apple, grape and tea samples was developed and validated by ultra performance convergence chromatography combined with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry ( UPC2-QTOF/MS) . The Chrial CCA column was used to separate cis-epoxiconazole enantiomers and the chromatography conditions ( mobile phase modifier and proportion, column temperature, automated backpressure regulator, and auxiliary solvent ) were optimized. Samples were extracted by acetonitrile, and respectively purified by Cleanert TPT or Pesti-Carb solid phase extraction ( SPE ) columns, then analyzed by UPC2-QTOF/MS. The optimum conditions were as follows:mobile phase was CO2/isopropanol (95: 5, V/V), flow-rate was 2. 0 mL/min, automated backpressure regulator (ABPR) was 13. 79 MPa, column temperature was 30℃, with a post-column mauxiliary solvent of methanol/water (1:1, V/V) containing 2 mmol/L ammonium formate. The analyte was quantified by matrix external standard method. The results showed that linear range of this method was 0. 01-1. 00 mg/L, and the correlation coefficients were above 0 . 99 . The recoveries of cis-epoxiconazole enantiomers at three spiked levels (0. 005, 0. 025 and 0. 25 mg/kg) in fruit matrix were 67. 9%-92. 8% with relative standard deviations (RSDs, n=6) less than 10%, and the limit of quantification (LOQ) of enantiomers was 0. 005 mg/kg. The recoveries of cis-epoxiconazole enantiomers at three spiked levels (0. 01, 0. 05 and 0. 5 mg/kg) in black tea were 74 . 1% -84 . 0% with RSDs ( n=6 ) less than 8%, and the LOQ for these two enantiomers was 0. 01 mg/kg. This method is rapid, convenient and reliable, and could meet the requirement of residue analysis.
