However, there is a high risk that oxidative stress would reduce the pluripotency and factor-secretion during the preparation and transplantation. Therefore, reducing oxidative stress is expected to improve the efficacy of HUC-MSCs therapy. Zinc (Zn) is an essential trace element which involves in the resistance of oxidative stress. To investigate Zn-regulated signaling pathways, we have profiled the gene expression at transcriptome level in primary HUC-MSCs treated with zinc sulfate, followed with GO and KEGG gene enrichment analysis. Zn treatment improved signal pathways for mineral absorption, cell growth, and cell death. Zn deficiency was mimicked by TPEN administration, which suppressed cell proliferation and reduced the expression of HUC-MSCs surface stem cell markers CD73, CD90 and CD105 by flow cytometry. Nuclear factor erythrocyte 2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) plays an important role in antioxidant biological processes. In vitro treatment of Zn significantly increased Nrf2 and Sirt3 expression at gene level and protein level respectively. Zn supplementation inhibited TPEN-induced failure of cell survival and reversed the reduction of Nrf2 and Sirt3 expression, which further reduced the production of ROS. Zn successfully presented its anti-oxidation effect by activating Nrf2/Sirt3 signaling pathway in HUC-MSCs. Zn supplementation may improve the efficacy of HUC-MSCs therapy with reduced oxidative stress.","PeriodicalId":59621,"journal":{"name":"生物物理学报:英文版","volume":"7 2","pages":"142-151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10235909/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9600573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the most important steps in maintaining the accuracy of this process is the recruitment of adaptor protein (AP) complexes to the membrane for recognizing and packaging cargo proteins into nascent vesicles. Adaptor protein complex 3 (AP-3) is a heterotetrametric complex implicated in the trafficking of cargo proteins from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and/or endosomes to lysosomes or lysosome-related organelles (LROs). This complex is also involved in the biogenesis of synaptic vesicles (SVs) in neurons and of dense core vesicles (DCVs) in endocrine cells as well as in the recycling of receptors in immune cells and the regulation of planar cell polarity (PCP) proteins. Functional defects in AP-3 cause multiple abnormalities in cellular vesicle trafficking and related organelle function, leading to various disorders, such as Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS). However, the molecular mechanism underlying AP-3 has not been fully elucidated, and further investigations are needed to understand AP-3-mediated trafficking, its associated molecules and its related roles in inherited diseases. Here, we review the current understanding of AP-3 in cellular vesicle trafficking, especially focusing on mammalian systems.","PeriodicalId":59621,"journal":{"name":"生物物理学报:英文版","volume":"7 2","pages":"91-100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10235903/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9603184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared to traditional chemical reactions, bioorthogonal chemical reactions mediated by transition metals catalysts can occur under physiological conditions in the living system without interfering with or damaging other biochemical events happening simultaneously. The idea of using nanomachines to perform precise and specific tasks in living systems is regarded as the frontier in nanomedicine. Bioorthogonal chemical reactions and nanozymes have provided new potential and strategies for nanomachines used in biomedical fields such as drug release, imaging, and bioengineering. Nanomachines, also called as intelligence nanorobots, based on nanozymes with bioorthogonal reactions show better biocompatibility and water solubility in living systems and perform controlled and adjustable stimuli-triggered response regarding to different physiological environments. In this review, we review the definition and development of bioorthogonal chemical reactions and describe the basic principle of bioorthogonal nanozymes fabrication. We also review several controlled and adjustable stimuli-triggered intelligence nanorobots and their potential in therapeutic and engineered applications. Furthermore, we summarize the challenges in the use of intelligence nanorobots based on nanozymes with bioorthogonal chemical reactions and propose promising vision in smart nanodevices along this appealing avenue of research.","PeriodicalId":59621,"journal":{"name":"生物物理学报:英文版","volume":"7 1","pages":"8-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10240535/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9603178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
