Mitochondria and Neuromast Tagging With Fluorescent Gallium‐Triapine Analogues: In Cellulo MP FLIM and Zebrafish Live Imaging

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Fluorescent BODIPY‐conjugated thiosemicarbazone ligands and their Ga(III), In(III), and Fe(III) complexes, inspired by Triapine, are developed as theranostic agents. Multiphoton FLIM and confocal microscopy in cancer cells and zebrafish reveal real‐time uptake, mitochondrial localisation, and whilst spectroscopic assays indicated preserved complex ...

Piezo1 Channel Mediates Mechanically Programmable Drug Delivery to Potentiate Intravesical Chemotherapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study utilizes programmable mechanical pressure as a therapeutic enhancer to establish a mechano‐chemotherapy strategy. Controlled pressure activates the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 in bladder cancer, triggering a calcium ion cascade that transiently and reversibly amplifies membrane permeability to chemotherapeutics.

Direct Observation of DNA Untangling Magic by a Type-II DNA Topoisomerase [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2009
Type-II DNA topoisomerases(topoII) are ubiquitous enzymes that play key roles in the maintenance of DNA topology in cells. They control the degree of supercoiling of DNA and untangle the catenanes that arise during replication or recombination. Lack of their activities during cell division ultimately causes cell death. TopoII untangles DNA catenanes in

Mechanically Triggered DNA Nanovehicles for Targeted Dual‐Drug Cancer Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A mechanically triggered DNA nanovehicle is introduced that co‐releases two anticancer drugs in response to integrin‐mediated cellular forces. Cholesterol‐anchored DNA assemblies undergo force‐induced unfolding at cell–cell junctions, enabling selective, localized dual‐drug activation in cancer cells while minimizing off‐target toxicity in low‐tension ...

The antimicrobial activity of exogeno us anionic phospholipids against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Escherichia coli

open access: yesТонкие химические технологии, 2016
The effect of anionic phospholipids, namely, cardiolipin, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidic acid, on the growth of gram-negative bacteria E. coli BL21(DE3), as well as gram-positive bacteria M. tuberculosis H37Rv was investigated in this study.

Topoisomerase IIβ targets DNA crossovers formed between distant homologous sites to induce chromatin opening

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Type II DNA topoisomerases (topo II) flip the spatial positions of two DNA duplexes, called G- and T- segments, by a cleavage-passage-resealing mechanism. In living cells, these DNA segments can be derived from distant sites on the same chromosome.

Fluorescently labeled circular DNA molecules for DNA topology and topoisomerases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
DNA topology plays essential roles in several fundamental biological processes, such as DNA replication, recombination, and transcription. Typically agarose gel electrophoresis is employed to study DNA topology.

Tightening of DNA knots by supercoiling facilitates their unknotting by type II DNA topoisomerases [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011
Using numerical simulations, we compare properties of knotted DNA molecules that are either torsionally relaxed or supercoiled. We observe that DNA supercoiling tightens knotted portions of DNA molecules and accentuates the difference in curvature between knotted and unknotted regions. The increased curvature of knotted regions is expected to make them

Photodynamic Priming and Minocycline Overcome Chemoresistance by Reprogramming the Pancreatic Tumor Immune Microenvironment In Vivo

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Dual priming with minocycline and photodynamic priming reprograms the pancreatic tumor microenvironment to overcome chemoresistance. By suppressing DNA repair enzyme Tdp1, inducing photooxidative damage, and enhancing irinotecan delivery via light‐activated nanoencapsulation, this strategy remodels the tumor microenvironment and drives immune ...
