RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the cornerstone intervention for cardiac arrest, with extracorporeal CPR (ECPR) demonstrating enhanced survival and neurologic outcomes in in-hospital cardiac arrest. This study explores the time interval between CPR initiation and the onset of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in ECPR recipients, investigating its impact on survival outcomes. METHODS: This retrospective analysis included 1950 adults who received CPR at a single medical center between March 2019 and April 2023. Data from 198 adult patients who had ECMO inserted during CPR were analyzed. The interval from CPR initiation to ECMO initiation was quantified and categorized as ≤20, 20-40, and >40 min. Cox regression analysis assessed associations between CPR-to-ECMO time and short- and long-term mortalities. RESULTS: Among the 198 patients who underwent ECPR, 116 (58.6%) experienced 30-day mortality. Initiation of ECMO within 20 min occurred in 46 (23.2%), whereas 74 (37.4%) had ECMO initiated after 40 min. Cox regression revealed a significant association between time from CPR to ECMO initiation and 30-day mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 2.20 in >40 min, HR: 2.63 in 20-40 min, p = 0.006) and 6-month mortality (HR: 1.81, in >40 min, HR: 1.99 in 20-40 min, p = 0.021). CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed that, in ECPR recipients, a shorter duration between CPR initiation and ECMO flow commencement is associated with improved short- and long-term patient prognoses. These findings emphasize the critical role of timely ECMO application in optimizing outcomes for patients undergoing ECPR.
RESUMEN
Chronic dermatitis is a disease with large unmet need for pharmacological improvement. Dermatitis conditions are maintained and exacerbated by various cytokine actions in the context of inflammation. Interleukin 6 signal transducer (Il6st), also known as glycoprotein 130 (Gp130), is a key component for surface reception of a multitude of cytokines and transduction and amplification of their pro-inflammatory signals. We hypothesized accordingly that pharmacological inhibition of Il6st can alter dermatitis pathology. Treatment with SC-144 and bazedoxifene, two representative small molecule Il6st inhibitors with different binding modes led to moderate but significant improvement of skin conditions in a 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene animal model. Part of cytokine expressions indicating the dermatological index were normalized particularly when treated with SC-144. Pruritic behaviors were blunted, also possibly giving limited contribution to disease improvement. In psoriatic skin and itch of an imiquimod animal model, those two treatments appeared to be relatively moderate. Collectively, pharmacological inhibition of Il6st seems to lessen pathological irritation. Inversely, this experimental attempt newly implies that Il6st participates in pathological mechanisms. In conclusion, we suggest Il6st as a novel target for improving dermatitis, and that agents with suitable efficacy and safety for its modulation are translatable.

Ubiquitin-specific protease 18 (USP18) is a multifunctional cysteine protease primarily responsible for deconjugating interferon-inducible ubiquitin-like (Ubl) modifier ISG15 from protein substrates. Here, we report the design and synthesis of activity-based probes (ABPs) capable of selectively detecting USP18 activity over other ISG15 cross-reactive deubiquitinases (DUBs) by incorporating unnatural amino acids into the C-terminal tail of ISG15. Combining with a ubiquitin-based DUB ABP, the selective USP18 ABP is employed in a chemoproteomic screening platform to identify and assess inhibitors of DUBs including USP18. We further demonstrate that USP18 ABPs can be utilized to profile differential activities of USP18 in lung cancer cell lines, providing a strategy that will help define the activity-related landscape of USP18 in different disease states and unravel important (de)ISGylation-dependent biological processes.
RESUMEN
Electrophilic small molecules with novel reactivity are powerful tools that enable activity-based protein profiling and covalent inhibitor discovery. Here, we report a reactive heterocyclic scaffold, 4-chloro-pyrazolopyridine (CPzP) for selective modification of proteins via a nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) mechanism. Chemoproteomic profiling reveals that CPzPs engage cysteines within functionally diverse protein sites including ribosomal protein S5 (RPS5), inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase 2 (IMPDH2), and heat shock protein 60 (HSP60). Through the optimization of appended recognition elements, we demonstrate the utility of CPzP for covalent inhibition of prolyl endopeptidase (PREP) by targeting a noncatalytic active-site cysteine. This study suggests that the proteome reactivity of CPzPs can be modulated by both electronic and steric features of the ring system, providing a new tunable electrophile for applications in chemoproteomics and covalent inhibitor design.

This study investigated the anti-inflammatory and protective properties of SP-8356, a synthetic derivative of (1S)-(-)-verbenone, in a mouse model of LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALI). By targeting intracellular signaling pathways and inflammatory responses, SP-8356 demonstrated a potent ability to attenuate deleterious effects of proinflammatory stimuli. Specifically, SP-8356 effectively inhibited the activation of crucial signaling molecules such as NF-κB and Akt, and subsequently dampened the expression of inflammatory cytokines in various lung cellular components. Intervention with SP-8356 treatment also preserved the structural integrity of the epithelial and endothelial barriers. By reducing immune cell infiltration into inflamed lung tissue, SP-8356 exerted a broad protective effect against ALI. These findings position SP-8356 as a promising therapeutic candidate for pulmonary inflammatory diseases that cause ALI.

The novel 9-cinnamyl-9H-purine skeleton, inspired by resveratrol and curcumin, was developed to avoid a pan-assay interference compound (PAINS) related to invalid metabolic pancreas activity (IMPS). It replaced the phenol group with purine analogues, the building blocks of DNA and RNA. Alterations to the hydroxyl group in the cinnamyl group, such as H, Me, or F substitutions, were made to impede its oxidation to a PAINS-associated quinone. Among the compounds tested, 5e significantly inhibited nitric oxide production in LPS-induced macrophages (IC50: 6.4 vs 26.4 µM for resveratrol). 5e also reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine levels (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1ß) and lowered iNOS and COX-2 protein levels. Mechanistically, 5e disrupted the TLR4-MyD88 protein interaction, leading to the suppression of the NF-κB signaling pathway suppression. In an atopic dermatitis mouse model, 5e reduced ear edema and inflammation. These findings indicate that the novel 9-cinnamyl-9H-purine skeleton provides therapeutic insight into treating various human diseases by regulating inflammation.
RESUMEN
Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 (LPAR1) is an emerging therapeutic target for numerous human diseases including fibrosis. However, the limited number of available core structures of LPAR1 antagonists has prompted the need for novel chemical templates. In this study, we conducted a high-throughput virtual screening to discover potential new scaffolds. We tested three existing crystal structures alongside an AlphaFold model to evaluate their suitability in structure-based virtual screening, finding that the crystal structures show superior performance compared with the predictive model. Furthermore, we also found that enhancing the precision in the screening process did not necessarily improve the enrichment of hits. From the screening campaign, we identified five structures that were validated using an LPAR1-dependent calcium flux assay. To gain a deeper insight into the protein-ligand interaction, we extensively analyzed the binding modes of these compounds using in silico techniques, laying the groundwork for the discovery of novel LPAR1 antagonists.
RESUMEN
A defect-passivated photosensor based on cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) perovskite quantum dots (QD) was fabricated using parylene films, and the photosensor was applied for the microbial detection. The CsPbBr3 perovskite QDs were synthesized to be homogeneous in size under thermodynamic control, and the perovskite QD-based photosensor was fabricated using MoS2 flakes as the electron transfer layer. In this work, a parylene film with functional groups was deposited on a photosensor for physical protection (waterproof) and defect (halide vacancy) passivation of the perovskite QD. As the first effect of the parylene film, the physical protection of the perovskite QD from water was estimated by comparing the photosensor performance after incubation in water. As the second effect of the parylene, the interaction between the functional groups of the parylene film and the halide vacancies of the perovskite QDs was investigated through the bandgap, crystal structure, and trap-state density analysis. Additionally, density functional theory analysis on Mulliken charges, lattice parameters, and Gibbs free energy demonstrated the effect of the defect passivation by parylene films. Finally, the parylene-passivated QD-based photosensor was applied to the detection of two kinds of food-poisoning and gastroduodenal disease bacteria (Listeria monocytogenes and Helicobacter pylori).
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Tachykinins and their cognate receptors, neurokinin receptors (NKs) including NK1, NK2, and NK3 play vital roles in regulating various physiological processes including neurotransmission, nociception, inflammation, smooth muscle contractility, and stimulation of endocrine and exocrine gland secretion. Their abnormal expression has been reported to be associated with neurological disorders, inflammation, and cancer. Even though NKs are expressed in the same cells with their expression being inversely correlated in some conditions, there is no direct evidence to prove their interaction. Understanding the functional crosstalk between NKs in mediated downstream signaling and cellular responses may elucidate the roles of each receptor in pathophysiology. RESULTS: In this study, we showed that NKs were co-expressed in some cells. However, different from NK3, which only forms homodimerization, we demonstrated a direct interaction between NK1 and NK2 at the protein level using co-immunoprecipitation and NanoBiT-based protein interaction analysis. Through heterodimerization, NK2 downregulated substance P-stimulated NK1 signals, such as intracellular Ca2+ mobilization and ERK phosphorylation, by enhancing ß-arrestin recruitment, even at the ligand concentration that could not activate NK2 itself or in the presence of NK1 specific antagonist, aprepitant. In A549 cells with receptors deleted and reconstituted, NK2 exerted a negative effect on substance P/NK1-mediated cell migration. CONCLUSION: Our study has provided the first direct evidence of an interaction between NK1 and NK2, which highlights the functional relevance of their heterodimerization in cellular responses. Our findings demonstrated that through dimerization, NK2 exerts negative effects on downstream signaling and cellular response mediated by NK1. Moreover, this study has significant implications for understanding the complexity of GPCR dimerization and its effect on downstream signaling and cellular responses. Given the important roles of tachykinins and NKs in pathophysiology, these insights may provide clues for developing NKs-targeting drugs.
RESUMEN
Strategies to target specific protein cysteines are critical to covalent probe and drug discovery. 3-Bromo-4,5-dihydroisoxazole (BDHI) is a natural product-inspired, synthetically accessible electrophilic moiety that has previously been shown to react with nucleophilic cysteines in the active site of purified enzymes. Here, we define the global cysteine reactivity and selectivity of a set of BDHI-functionalized chemical fragments using competitive chemoproteomic profiling methods. Our study demonstrates that BDHIs capably engage reactive cysteine residues in the human proteome and the selectivity landscape of cysteines liganded by BDHI is distinct from that of haloacetamide electrophiles. Given its tempered reactivity, BDHIs showed restricted, selective engagement with proteins driven by interactions between a tunable binding element and the complementary protein sites. We validate that BDHI forms covalent conjugates with glutathione S-transferase Pi (GSTP1) and peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1 (PIN1), emerging anticancer targets. BDHI electrophile was further exploited in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor design using a single-step late-stage installation of the warhead onto acrylamide-containing compounds. Together, this study expands the spectrum of optimizable chemical tools for covalent ligand discovery and highlights the utility of 3-bromo-4,5-dihydroisoxazole as a cysteine-reactive electrophile.

C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12(CXCL12) is an essential chemokine for organ development and homeostasis in multiple tissues. Its receptor, C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4(CXCR4), is expressed on the surface of target cells. The chemokine and receptor are expressed almost ubiquitously in human tissues and cells throughout life, and abnormal expression of CXCL12 and CXCR4 is observed in pathological conditions, such as inflammation and cancer. CXCR4 is reportedly translated into five splicing variants of different lengths, which each have different amino acids in the N-terminus. As the N-terminus is the first recognition site for chemokines, CXCR4 variants may respond differently to CXCL12. Despite these differences, the molecular and functional properties of CXCR4 variants have not been thoroughly described or compared. Here, we explored the expression of CXCR4 variants in cell lines and analyzed their roles in cellular responses using biochemical approaches. RT-PCR revealed that most cell lines express more than one CXCR4 variant. When expressed in HEK293 cells, the CXCR4 variants differed in protein expression efficiency and cell surface localization. Although variant 2 demonstrated the strongest expression and cell surface localization, variants 1, 3, and 5 also mediated chemokine signaling and induced cellular responses. Our results demonstrate that the N-terminal sequences of each CXCR4 variant determine the expression of the receptor and affect ligand recognition. Functional analyses revealed that CXCR4 variants may also affect each other or interact during CXCL12-stimulated cellular responses. Altogether, our results suggest that CXCR4 variants may have distinct functional roles that warrant additional investigation and could contribute to future development of novel drug interventions.

Using biosensor to screen for Alzheimer's disease (AD) facilitates early detection of AD with high sensitivity and accuracy. This approach overcomes the limitations of conventional AD diagnostic methods, such as neuropsychological assessment and neuroimaging analysis. Here, we propose a simultaneous analysis of signal combinations generated by four crucial AD biomarkers (Amyloid beta 1-40 (Aß40), Aß42, total tau 441 (tTau441), and phosphorylated tau 181 (pTau181)) by inducing a dielectrophoretic (DEP) force on fabricated interdigitated microelectrode (IME) sensor. By applying an optimal DEP force, our biosensor selectively concentrates and filters the plasma-based AD biomarkers, exhibiting high sensitivity (limit of detection <100 fM) and selectivity in the plasma-based AD biomarkers detection (p < 0.0001). Consequently, it is demonstrated that a complex combined signal comprising four AD-specific biomarker signals (Aß40- Aß42+ tTau441- pTau181) can differentiate between patients with AD and healthy subjects with high accuracy (78.85%) and precision (80.95%) (p < 0.0001).

An electrochemical immunoassay based on the redox cycling method was presented using vertically paired electrodes (VPEs), which were fabricated using poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) as an electrode material and parylene-C as a dielectric layer. For the application to immunoassays, different electrochemical properties of PEDOT:PSS were analyzed for the redox reaction of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB, the chromogenic substrate for enzyme-immunoassays) at different pH conditions, including the conductivity (σ), electron transfer rate constant (kapp), and double-layer capacitance (Cdl). The influencing factors on the sensitivity of redox cycling based on VPE based on PEDOT:PSS were analyzed for the redox reaction of TMB, such as the electrode gap and number of electrode pairs. Computer simulation was also performed for the redox cycling results based on VPEs, which had limitations in fabrication, such as VPEs with an electrode gap of less than 100 nm and more than five electrode pairs. Finally, the redox cycling based on VPE was applied to the medical diagnosis of human hepatitis-C virus (hHCV) using a commercial ELISA kit. The sensitivity of the redox cycling method for the medical diagnosis of hHCV was compared with conventional assay methods, such as TMB-based chromogenic detection, luminol-based chemiluminescence assay, and a rapid test kit (lateral flow immunoassay).

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are associated with the regulation of metabolic homeostasis. Based on a previous report that 1'-homologated 4'-thionucleoside acts as a dual PPARγ/δ modulator, carbocyclic nucleosides 2-5 with various sugar conformations were synthesized to determine whether sugar puckering affects binding to PPARs. (S)-conformer 2 was synthesized using Charette asymmetric cyclopropanation, whereas (N)-conformer 3 was synthesized using stereoselective Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation. All synthesized nucleosides did not exhibit binding affinity to PPARα but exhibited significant binding affinities to PPARγ/δ. The binding affinity of final nucleosides to PPARγ did not differ significantly based on their conformation, but their affinity to PPARδ depended greatly on their conformation, correlated with adiponectin production. (N)-conformer 3h was discovered to be the most potent PPARδ antagonist with good adiponectin production, which exhibited the most effective activity in inhibiting the mRNA levels of LPS-induced IL-1ß expression in RAW 264.7 macrophages, implicating its anti-inflammatory activity.

A one-step immunoassay based on filtration was presented, which used microbeads for target analyte detection and filters with appropriate pore sizes to distinguish the complexity of target analyte and microbeads. For effective bacterial detection, the microbead size and the filter's pore size must be optimized. The optimal concentrations of the enzyme (urease) and antibody were determined at the maximum absorbance change, that is, the maximum pH change. The pH change was measured using a field-effect transistor (FET). The correlation between pH change and threshold voltage was estimated to be 21.7 mV/pH, and the correlation between pH change and the source-drain current was estimated to be -379 nA/pH. For the one-step immunoassay, antibodies against target bacteria were isolated from horse serum by filtration, and these antibodies were estimated to have a sufficiently high specificity to overcome cross-reactivity among five types of food poisoning-related bacteria: Escherichia coli O157, Salmonella typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, and Staphylococcus aureus. Finally, the FET-based one-step immunoassay was demonstrated for five types of food poisoning-related bacteria in human serum.

The conformation of the central five-membered ring of a nucleoside plays an important role in enzyme recognition. Bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane, also known as the methanocarba (MC), serves as a template that can mimic the locked forms of the two distinctive conformations, namely, the north and south conformations. While modified nucleosides locked in the north conformation have been actively investigated, the south counterpart remains largely unexplored because it is difficult to synthesize. Herein, we report a concise synthetic route that can provide the key amino sugar intermediate essential for the synthesis of (S)-MC ribonucleosides in a 100% stereoselective manner. Also, through the proposed synthetic approach, we report the first synthesis of enantiomerically pure (S)-MC cytidine 1. We believe our findings would greatly contribute to the field of nucleoside chemistry and provide opportunities for novel nucleoside discovery.

A one-step immunoassay was developed for five types of food-poisoning-related bacteria using a switching peptide and antibodies isolated from unimmunized horse serum. The one-step immunoassay involves mixing samples and reagents in a homogeneous solution without any washing steps. In this work, a one-step immunoassay configuration was developed using isolated antibodies labelled with an organic fluorescence quencher and a switching-peptide labelled with a fluorescent dye. The fluorescence-labelled switching-peptide was bound to the antigen-binding site of the isolated antibodies before binding to the bacteria (no fluorescence signal), and the switching-peptide dissociated from the antibodies as soon as they bound to the bacteria (fluorescence signal turns on). By quantifying the generated fluorescence signal, the one-step immunoassay presented here allows microbial detection without any washing step.

One-step homogeneous immunoassay was developed for detecting influenza viruses A and B (Inf-A and Inf-B) using the switching peptide H2. As the fluorescence-labeled switching peptide dissociated from the binding pocket of detection antibodies, the fluorescence signal could be directly generated by the binding of Inf-A and Inf-B without washing (i.e., one-step immunoassay). For the one-step homogeneous immunoassay with detection antibodies in solution, graphene was labeled with the antibodies as a fluorescence quencher. To test the feasibility of the homogeneous one-step immunoassay, the stability of the antibody complex with the switching peptide was evaluated under different pH and salt conditions. The one-step homogeneous immunoassay with switching peptide was conducted using influenza virus antigens in phosphate-buffered saline and real samples with inactivated Inf-A and Inf-B spiked in serum. Finally, the one-step homogeneous immunoassay results were compared with those of commercially available lateral flow immunoassays.
RESUMEN
In this study, parylene-C films from plasma deposition as well as thermal deposition were pyrolyzed to prepare a carbon electrode for application in electrochemical immunoassays. Plasma deposition could prepare parylene-C in a faster deposition rate and more precise control over the thickness in comparison with the conventional thermal deposition. To analyze the influence of the deposition method, the crystal and electronic structures of the pyrolyzed parylene-C films obtained via both deposition methods were compared using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. For application as a carbon electrode in immunoassays, the electrochemical properties of the pyrolyzed carbon films from two both deposition methods were analyzed, including the double layer capacitance (2.10 µF cm-2 for plasma deposition and 2.20 µF cm-2 for thermal deposition), the apparent electron transfer rate (approximately 1.1 × 10-3 cm s-1 for both methods), and the electrochemical window (approximately -1.0 â¼ 2.1 V for both methods). Finally, the applicability of the pyrolyzed carbon electrode from parylene-C was demonstrated for the diagnosis of human hepatitis-C using various amperometric methods, such as cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, square-wave voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry.

In this study, a homogeneous one-step immunoassay based on switching peptides is presented for the detection of influenza viruses A and B (Inf-A and Inf-B, respectively). The one-step immunoassay represents an immunoassay method that does not involve any washing steps, only treatment of the sample. In this method, fluorescence-labeled switching peptides quantitatively dissociate from the antigen-binding site of immunoglobulin G (IgG). In particular, the one-step immunoassay based on soluble detection antibodies with switching peptides is called a homogeneous one-step immunoassay. The immunoassay developed uses switching peptides labeled with two types of fluorescence dyes (FAM and TAMRA) and detection antibodies labeled with two types of fluorescence quenchers (TQ2 for FAM and TQ3 for TAMRA). The optimal switching peptides for the detection of Inf-A and Inf-B have been selected as L1-peptide and H2-peptide. The interactions between the four kinds of switching peptides and IgG have been analyzed using computational docking simulation and SPR biosensor. The location of labeling for the fluorescence quenchers has been determined based on the distance between the fluorescence dyes of the switching peptides and the fluorescence quenchers, calculated on the basis of the efficiency of fluorescence quenching, using the Förster equation. To demonstrate the feasibility of the one-step immunoassay, binding constants (KD) have been calculated for detection antibodies against Inf-A and Inf-B with target antigens (Inf-A and Inf-B) and switching peptides (L1- and H2-peptides), using an isotherm model. The immunoassay has been demonstrated to be feasible using antigens as well as real samples of Inf-A and Inf-B with a critical cycle number (Ct). The immunoassay has also been compared to other commercially available rapid test kits for Inf-A and Inf-B and found to be far more sensitive for detection of Inf-A and Inf-B over the entire detection range.
