Cell is a complex system whose components change with time and space,and heterogeneity is a widespread event existing in all cells [1].Most previous studies are based on bulk analysis which lead to the losing of key information about the distribution within one cell.Single cell analysis gives us a more accurate result,offering comprehensive information on the fundamental mechanism of biological system.Arsenic have long been used as therapeutic agents.Understanding the mechanism of action of arsenic-based drugs enables more effective arsenic drugs to be developed.Cell cycle has been known to play a critical role for cell division and growth.Herein,we establish a methodology to evaluate the uptake of two arsenic-based drugs(ATO and ZIO-101)across the cell cycle in single leukemia cells,i.e.,NB4 and HL60,using a double thymidine block combined with time-resolved ICP-MS [2,3].We show that cells absorb maximal amounts of both ATO and ZIO-101 in G2/M phase and minimum in S phase,and such variation is less apparent for ZIO-101 than ATO(NB4-G2/M: S=2.5:1 for ATO and 1.6:1 for ZIO-101).We subsequently demonstrate that AQP9,an ATO transporter,is highly expressed in G1 phase(50.2%-46.9%)and least expressed in S phase(27.6%-24.6%); while xCT,a ZIO-101 transporter,is mostly expressed in G2/M phase(74.8%-76.1%),and least expressed in G1 phases(55.4-59.8%).Furthermore,we show that the cytotoxicity of ATO and ZIO-101 on NB4 cells is also cell cycle dependent,with the highest cytotoxicity at S+G2/M phase and the lowest at G1+S phase.Our studies provide the first evidence on cell cycle dependent uptake and cytotoxicity of arsenic-based drugs at single cell levels,may have general implications for precise evaluation of other anticancer drugs by considering cell cycle phase.

随着能源需求的转型,作为重要的核工业原料和战略资源,铀元素受到越来越多的重视.由于全世界范围内铀矿储量的极不平均,导致绝大多数国家和地区缺乏铀矿.与陆地矿产相比,海水中虽然铀酰基离子的浓度仅为13.7 nM,但因为地球71%的面积为海洋,所以储量巨大.因此,从海洋资源中富集金属铀具有长远的战略意义.目前高效富集海水中的铀元素依然是世界性的难题,伴随生命科学的发展和人类对蛋白质结构功能认识的加深,经

光动力疗法(PDT)是一种利用活性氧杀死癌细胞的治疗方法.铱(Ⅲ)配合物呈三重激发态,可与周围氧分子(O2)之间发生能量转移,诱导产生单线态氧(1O2),因此可以作为光敏剂在光照射下直接或间接地杀死癌细胞.[1,2]内质网(ER)是细胞非常重要的的细胞器,主要负责蛋白质和膜脂质的合成和输出.内质网氧化还原信号通路的细微干扰都很可能导致内质网应激诱导的细胞凋亡.鉴于此,我们介绍了一系列以ER 为目标

钌络合物作为DNA分子“光开关”得到广泛研究[1],但由于其较低的膜通透性,其活细胞内的直接成像实例较少.我们的研究表明[Ru(5,5-dtbpy)2dppz]2+(Ru)(dtbpy = 4,4-二叔丁基-2,2-联吡啶;dppz =多吡啶并吩嗪)具有亲脂性强,对癌细胞与正常细胞具有选择性,且与氯代酚形成亲脂性离子对复合物后可快速进入细胞乃至细胞核,并引起细胞凋亡.我们基于此前研究[2],对bp

本文设计了基于Fe3+与羧苄西林形成的MOF 材料(carMOF)的纳米载药体系.首先将TPZ 负载到介孔二氧化硅(MSN)中,之后在MSN 的表面包覆一层carMOF.外层的carMOF可以有效保护内部的TPZ,避免了TPZ 的提前释放.最后再吸附GOx,形成最终的材料MSN-TPZ@carMOF-GOx.终材料可以消耗葡萄糖,从而加重肿瘤微环境的乏氧程度,增强了TPZ 的化疗活性,达到饥饿治疗
