The pathological basis of RM is an imbalance in apoptosis, with the MDM2-p53 pathway playing a crucial role. In this study, we synthesized poly(6-acetoxyl-ε-caprolactone)-graft-(4-amino-benzimidazole) (PCCL-4-ABI) by modifying poly(6-acetoxyl-ε-caprolactone) (PCCL) with 4-amino-benzimidazole (4-ABI). The introduction of carboxyl and 4-ABI groups endowed the PCL backbone with fluorescence, pH responsiveness, and UCST responsiveness. The temperature-dependent release behavior of compound 1-loaded PCCL-4-ABI nanofluorescent materials was attributed to UCST transition. We successfully developed a novel nanofluorescent polymer drug delivery platform, PCCL-4-ABI@1, and evaluated its regulatory effects on p53 and MDM2 in trophoblast cells (HTR-8/SVneo). The results showed that the system loaded with low molecular weight heparin increased MDM2 and decreased p53 expression in a dose-dependent manner, thereby inhibiting trophoblast cell apoptosis.

This study describes an economic turn-off fluorescent aptasensor for the quantitative analysis of Pb²⁺ employing 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid diimide (PTCDI) as a cost-effective fluorophore, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as separating agent and an elongated aptamer as both targeting agent and PTCDI loading site. The fundamental principle of the suggested fluorescent aptasensor, which is based on PTCDI, relies on detecting variations in the fluorescence intensity of PTCDI when an elongated aptamer (as single-stranded DNA) is present or absent. The advanced aptasensor is advantageous due to the elongation of the lead aptamer sequence length induced by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), resulting in enhanced sensitivity. The presence of Pb²⁺ and the centrifugation process causes the separation of the poly A-modified aptamer/Pb²⁺ conjugate from the poly T sequence. Hence, the interaction of PTCDI with the poly A moiety in the modified aptamer leads to a decrease in its fluorescence emission. The findings showcased that the fluorescent aptasensor exhibited exceptional specificity towards Pb²⁺ ions, while the biosensing platform accomplished an impressive detection limit of 3.7 pM. Moreover, the suggested aptasensor utilizing PTCDI exhibits a commendable capability in quantitatively analyzing Pb²⁺ within human serum samples and mineral water.</p>","PeriodicalId":15800,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluorescence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142175580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fluorescence excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy (EEMS) has demonstrated to be a highly specific and cost-effective technique for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and PAH-metabolite identification and quantification. EEMS ability to quantify these compounds strongly depends on the intensity and variability of the bile baseline fluorescence (BBF). We found large differences in BBF among <i>Aequidens metae</i> (AME) individuals and of these with <i>Piaractus orinoquensis</i> (PIO). Moreover, BBF was large enough that solvent dilutions of over 1:400 were needed to avoid inner filter effects. We used parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) to model the intra- and inter-species BBF variability. PARAFAC successfully decomposed the EEMS set into three fluorophores present in all samples, although in concentrations spreading over ~ 3 orders of magnitude. One of the factors was identified as tryptophan. Tryptophan and Factor 2 were covariant and much more abundant in AME than in PIO, while Factor 3 was ~ 6 times more abundant in PIO than in AME. Also, tryptophan was ~ 10x more abundant in AME specimens immediately caught in rivers than in their laboratory-adapted peers. The PARAFAC decomposition effectiveness was confirmed by the positive proportionality of scores to dilution ratios. A large inner filter indicates that Factor 2 is as strong a light absorber as tryptophan. Our results stress the need to include bile matrix variable components for the detection and quantification of pollutant metabolites using PARAFAC.</p>","PeriodicalId":15800,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluorescence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142175577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The structural, morphological, and photoluminescence characteristics of the nano-phosphors and resulting NC films were examined and discussed.

The incorporation of YPO₄: Sm³⁺ NPs into polymer matrices indicated that the NCs retained the original luminescence properties of the luminescent NPs, although a decrease in their emission intensity was observed for the NC films, attributable to a polymer matrix effect, which dominated in PS matrix. The fluorescence decay times of NPs in the NC films were measured and compared to those of proper YPO₄: Sm³⁺ nano-phosphors.
