Despite the identification of many mechanisms responsible for cardiovascular fibrosis, such as angiotensin II, TGF-[Formula: see text] and endothelin-1, to date no treatments have emerged that have effectively reduced the excess deposition of extracellular matrix associated with fibrotic conditions. Matricellular CCN proteins spatiotemporally regulated nonstructural components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and participated in many essential biological functions, including wound healing and fibrotic diseases. CCN5 exhibited the opposing effects of CCN2 on the development of cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis, and overexpression of matricellular protein CCN5 in the heart by adenoviral deliver significantly improved cardiac fibrosis in severe heart failure. Future time- and cell-specific study of CCN5 effect and its domain-specific function on fibrotic development and progression will advance our understanding of cardiac fibrosis, and meanwhile provide opportunities for therapeutic intervention of heart failure.","PeriodicalId":44929,"journal":{"name":"Nano Life","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1142/S1793984419410034","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42461679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, due to the extremely low concentration of CTC in the peripheral blood, its isolation and enrichment are critical steps for early diagnosis. Herein, we used the transferrin modified lipid magnetic spheres for the isolation of ovarian cancer CTCs, and studied the relationship between the CTCs count and the clinical case parameters, prognosis of ovarian cancer. The result showed that no CTC was found in the peripheral blood of 30 patients with benign cysts, and 34 out of 46 patients with ovarian cancer were positive for CTC, with a positive rate of 73.9%. Analysis of the parameters of the clinical cases showed that the positive rate of CTC was related to the clinical stages, and that it was not significantly related to the age, histopathological types and pathological grades of patients. Of the 34 CTC-positive patients, 18 had progression-free survival, with a survival rate of 52.9%, and of the 11 CTC-negative patients, 9 had progression-free survival, with a survival rate of 81.8%. The results showed that the transferrin lipid magnetic spheres prepared in this study, could effectively isolate the CTCs in the peripheral blood of patients with ovarian cancer, that the level of CTC in ovarian cancer patients was related to its clinical stage, and that the progression-free survival of the patients with a high level of CTCs was relatively short. Therefore, this study shows that the transferrin lipid magnetic sphere can achieve effective isolation of ovarian cancer CTC, which can be used as an auxiliary diagnostic method in comprehensive diagnosis of ovarian cancer.","PeriodicalId":44929,"journal":{"name":"Nano Life","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1142/S1793984419400014","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47215161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of nanoparticle configuration, arrangement, and surface coating on the photothermal heating behavior were investigated for different Fe3O4 nanoparticle systems. Depending on the preparation method, Fe3O4 nanoparticles with mean hydrodynamic diameter ranging from 30[Formula: see text]nm to 250[Formula: see text]nm were synthesized. Photothermal transduction efficiency is a measure of light to thermal energy conversion; the highest efficiency obtained was 56% by 785[Formula: see text]nm and 42% by 808[Formula: see text]nm light irradiation for poly(acrylic) acid (PAA) coated Fe3O4 samples. With this conversion efficiency, the PAA-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles raised the solution temperature [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]C above physiological temperature, which is sufficient for cancer therapeutics. Photothermal transduction efficiency was found to decrease as the particle hydrodynamic diameter increased. Nanoparticle absorption and scattering properties were found different due to surface modifications. UV-VIS-NIR absorption spectroscopy was carried out and results were analyzed using the Mie scattering theory. Experimental photothermal transduction efficiency was found to scale with the theoretical results for a particular wavelength. These results have significance in the design and development of the Fe3O4 nanoparticle systems for effective cancer therapy with NIR light.","PeriodicalId":44929,"journal":{"name":"Nano Life","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1142/S1793984419500016","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47760335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the obvious cytotoxicity of the first generation of positively charged nanotherapeutics, second generation of magnetic nanotherapeutics with tunable surface charges was designed and prepared by shield of positively charged surface areas by negatively charged gold nanoparticles (AU NPs).

We performed rigorous processing of the initial gene expression profile data. Subsequently, we used WGCNA to identify disease-driven modules and enforced functional enrichment analysis. The key genes were defined as the most connected genes in the driver module and were validated using the GSE75037 and TCGA database. GSE10072 removed 41 unpaired lung samples and 4 outliers. By analyzing the 62 samples using WGCNA, we obtained 26 modules and identified the brown and magenta modules as the driving modules for the LUAD. We found that the “Cell cycle”, “Oocyte meiosis” and “Progesterone-mediated oocyte maturation” pathways may be related to the occurrence of LUAD. GSE75037 removed 8 outlier and obtained 2909 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 26 genes (9 genes in the brown module, 17 genes in the magenta module) overlap with key genes in the driver module. The results of the survival analysis suggest that 19 genes were significantly correlated with the patient’s survival time, including KPNA2, FEN1, RRM2, TOP2A, CENPF, MCM4, BIRC5, MELK, MAD2L1, CCNB1, CCNA2, KIF11, CDKN3, NUSAP1, CEP55, AURKA, NEK2, KIF14 and CDCA8, which may be potential biomarkers or therapeutic targets for LUAD.
