Copper recovery from waste printed circuit boards using pyrite as the bioleaching substrate
In this study, using pyrite as a bacterial substrate for bioleaching WPCBs and recovering Cu was explored. The results showed that the WPCBs bioleaching using pyrite as the bacterial substrate was feasible. Mechanical crushing was a suitable WPCBs pretreatment method. The optimal WPCBs and pyrite pulp densities were respectively found to be 1.25% (w/v) and 1.0% (w/v), and the suitable nitrogen source ratio ((NH4)2SO4: (NH4)2HPO4) was deemed as 2 g/L: 2 g/L, achieving a Cu2+ leaching efficiency of 95.60 ± 1.57% in 14 d. Copper in the bioleaching solution can be directly recovery via electrodeposition. The Cu recovery effic...

Surface PD-1 expression in T cells is suppressed by HNRNPK through an exonic splicing silencer on exon 3
CONCLUSIONS: Our study revealed a novel evolutionarily conserved regulatory mechanism of PD-1 expression. The splicing factor HNRNPK markedly promoted PDCD1 exon 3 skipping by binding to the ESS on PDCD1 exon 3, resulting in decreased expression of flPD-1 and increased expression of sPD-1 in T cells.PMID:38698180 | DOI:10.1007/s00011-024-01887-4 (Source: Cell Research)

DAP1-2: a synthetic peptide targeting IL-1R1 receptor effectively suppresses IL-1 β in vitro
Immunol Res. 2024 May 2. doi: 10.1007/s12026-024-09485-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe pathological manifestation of the inflammatory process primarily stems from the heightened release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, with IL-1β standing out as a pivotal cytokine. The excessive presence of IL-1β disrupts immune signaling, thereby assuming a pathogenic and exacerbating role in the pathophysiology of numerous inflammatory diseases. Regulating IL-1β levels becomes crucial, and the IL-1Ra molecule serves this purpose by binding to the IL-1R1 receptor, thereby impeding the binding of IL-1β. Several pharmaceuticals have ...

Exosomal miR-493 suppresses MAD2L1 and induces chemoresistance to intraperitoneal paclitaxel therapy in gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis
We examined the association between intra-peritoneal exosomes, particularly exosomal micro-RNAs (exo-miRNAs), and IP-chemo sensitivity. MKN45 cells that were cultured with intra-peritoneal exosomes from patients who did not respond to IP therapy with PTX (IPnon-respond group) exhibited resistance to PTX compared with exosomes from responding patients (IPrespond group) (p = 0.002). A comprehensive search for exo-miRNAs indicated that miR-493 was significantly up-regulated in exosomes from the IPnon-respond group compared with those collected from the IPrespond group. The expression of miR-493 in PTX-resistant MKN45 cells (M...

The role of CD98 heavy chain in cancer development
Histol Histopathol. 2024 Apr 16:18749. doi: 10.14670/HH-18-749. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe glycoprotein CD98, or CD98 heavy chain (CD98hc), encoded by the SLC3A2 gene, plays a crucial role in cancer development and progression. CD98hc, forming heterodimeric complexes with various light chains, regulates neutral amino acid transport across cell membranes. The intricate interplay between CD98hc, integrins, and amino acid transporters shapes the tumor microenvironment and contributes to tumor growth. Elevated expression of CD98hc in various cancers correlates with poor prognosis, making it a potential prognostic marker...
