    Abstract Bladder cancer (BC) is a frequently diagnosed cancer with high mortality. Male patients have a higher risk of developing BC than female patients. As a type of caspase-independent cell death, necroptosis plays a significant role in the occurrence and progression of BC. The aberrant function of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) plays an indispensable role in GI. However, the relationship between lncRNA and necroptosis in male patients with BC remains unclear. The clinical information and RNA-sequencing profiles of all BC patients were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas Program. A total of 300 male participants were selected for the study. We conducted to identify the necroptosis-related lncRNAs (NRLs) by Pearson correlation analysis. Subsequently, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression were conducted to establish a risk signature with overall survival-related NRLs in the training set and to validate it in the testing set. Finally, we verified the effectiveness of the 15-NRLs signature in prognostic prediction and therapy via survival analysis, receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, and Cox regression. Furthermore, we analyzed the correlation between the signature risk score and pathway enrichment analysis, immune cell infiltration, anticancer drug sensitivity, and somatic gene mutations. We developed 15-NRLs (AC009974.1, AC140118.2, LINC00323, LINC02872, PCAT19, AC017104.1, AC134312.5, AC147067.2, AL139351.1, AL355922.1, LINC00844, AC069503.1, AP003721.1, DUBR, LINC02863) signature, and divided patients into a high-risk group and low-risk group through the median risk score. Kaplan-Meier and receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the prognosis prediction had satisfactory accuracy. Cox regression analysis indicated that the 15-NRLs signature was a risk factor independent of various clinical parameters. Additionally, immune cell infiltration, half-maximal inhibitory concentration, and somatic gene mutations differed significantly among different risk subsets, implying that the signature could assess the clinical efficacy of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. This 15-NRLs risk signature may be helpful in assessing the prognosis and molecular features of male patients with BC and improve treatment modalities, thus can be further applied clinically.

    Abstract Abnormal cholesterol metabolism can lead to oxidative stress in the brain. Low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr) knockout mice are models for studying altered cholesterol metabolism and oxidative stress onset in the brain. Carbon nanodots are a new class of carbon nanomaterials that possess antioxidant properties. The goal of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of carbon nanodots in preventing brain lipid peroxidation. LDLr knockout mice and wild-type C57BL/6J mice were treated with saline or 2.5 mg/kg bw of carbon nanodots for a 16-week period. Brains were removed and dissected into the cortex, midbrain, and striatum. We measured lipid peroxidation in the mouse brain tissues using the Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances Assay and iron and copper concentrations using Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. We focused on iron and copper due to their association with oxidative stress. Iron concentrations were significantly elevated in the midbrain and striatum of the LDLr knockout mice compared to the C57BL/6J mice, whereas lipid peroxidation was greatest in the midbrain and cortex of the LDLr knockout mice. Treatment with carbon nanodots in the LDLr knockout mice attenuated both the rise in iron and lipid peroxidation, but they had no negative effect in the C57BL/6J mice, indicating the anti-oxidative stress properties of carbon nanodots. We also assessed locomotor and anxiety-like behaviors as functional indicators of lipid peroxidation and found that treatment with carbon nanodots prevented the anxiety-like behaviors displayed by the LDLr knockout mice. Overall, our results show that carbon nanodots are safe and may be an effective nanomaterial for combating the harmful effects caused by lipid peroxidation.

    Abstract Cell growth and release from the hydrogel scaffolds are critical steps in cell culture and cell therapies. Herein a double network hydrogel with one thermosensitive P(AEtMA-Cl-DEAEA) network and the other polyacrylamide network is reported. The diad hydrogel is elastic and maintains its structural integrity under large deformation. BSA is adsorbed onto the hydrogel at body temperature and subsequently released from the hydrogel at lower temperature. Hela cells proliferate on the hydrogel scaffolds at 37°C. When the scaffold is incubated at low temperature (20°C), 32.6% ± 6.4% of its population are detached from the scaffolds. The detached cells remain active in cell culture. This hydrogel with excellent mechanical properties and unique biological function has promising biomedical applications. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
