The removal of formaldehyde at low concentrations is important in indoor air pollution research. In this study, mesoporous carbon with a large specific surface area was used for the adsorption of low-concentration indoor formaldehyde. A mesoporous carbon material, CMK-3, was synthesized using the nano-replication method. SBA-15 was used as a mesoporous template. The surface of CMK-3 was activat...

As a group of attractive photoelectromagnetic and catalytic functional materials, metal oxychlorides have been attracting attention for electrochemical energy storage in rechargeable chloride ion battery (CIB) systems recently. Their application, however, is limited by the complicated synthesis and/or poor cycling stability. Herein, a facile strategy using vacuum impregnation and subsequent the...

Activation of caspase-1 through the inflammasome protein Nalp1b controls anthrax lethal toxin (LT)-induced necrosis in murine macrophages. In this study we analyzed physiological changes controlled by caspase-1 in LT-treated murine macrophages. The caspase-1 inhibitor Boc-D-cmk blocked caspase-1 activity and membrane impairment in LT-treated cells. To determine the relationship between caspase-...

Nucleoside analogues have proven to be a highly successful class of anti-cancer and anti-viral drugs. The therapeutic efficacy of nucleoside analogues is dependent of their intracellular phosphorylation. Two cellular nucleoside kinases, deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) and UMP-CMP kinase (CMK) are critical for phosphorylation of cytidine analogues. These kinases provide two first steps of activation ...

Synthetic caspase inhibitors and particularly broad-spectrum caspase inhibitors can prevent cells from death or at least slow down cell death process and abrogate some apoptotic hallmarks [Kitanaka, C., Kuchino, Y., 1999. Caspase-independent programmed cell death with necrotic morphology. Cell Death and Differentiation 6, 508-515]. However, not all synthetic caspase inhibitors diminish cell dea...

Interleukin-3 (IL-3) is a potent stimulator of megakaryocyte proliferation, and autocrine production of IL-3 by megakaryocytic leukemia cell lines and bone marrow-derived megakaryocytes has recently been demonstrated. To characterize the transcriptional regulation of IL-3 in megakaryocytes, we transiently transfected IL-3 promoter CAT constructs that contain variable amounts of 5' flanking sequ...

Children with Down syndrome (DS) with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have significantly higher event-free survival rates compared to those with non-DS AML, linked to greater cytosine arabinoside (ara-C) sensitivity and higher transcript levels of the chromosome 21-localized gene, cystathionine-beta-synthase (CBS), in DS myeloblasts. In this study, we examined the transcriptional regulation of the...
