Breast cancer is one of the most malignant tumors and is associated with high mortality rates among women. Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) is an extract from the fruits of the traditional Chinese herb, L. barbarum . LBP is a promising anticancer drug, due to its high activity and low toxicity. Although it has anticancer properties, its mechanisms of action have not been fully established. Ferroptosis, which is a novel anticancer strategy, is a cell death mechanism that relies on iron-dependent lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation. In this study, human breast cancer cells (Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) and MD Anderson-Metastatic Breast-231 (MDA-MB-231)) were treated with LBP. LBP inhibited their viability and proliferation in association with high levels of ferroptosis. Therefore, we aimed to ascertain whether LBP reduced cell viability through ferroptosis. We found that the structure and function of mitochondria, lipid peroxidation, and expression of solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11, also known as xCT, the light-chain subunit of cystine/glutamate antiporter system Xc?) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) were altered by LBP. Moreover, the ferroptosis inhibitor, Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1), rescued LBP-induced ferroptosis-associated events including reduced cell viability and glutathione (GSH) production, accumulation of intracellular free divalent iron ions and malondialdehyde (MDA), and down-regulation of the expression of xCT and GPX4. Erastin (xCT inhibitor) and RSL3 (GPX4 inhibitor) inhibited the expression of xCT and GPX4, respectively, which was lower after the co-treatment of LBP with Erastin and RSL3. These results suggest that LBP effectively prevents breast cancer cell proliferation and promotes ferroptosis via the xCT/GPX4 pathway. Therefore, LBP exhibits novel anticancer properties by triggering ferroptosis, and may be a potential therapeutic option for breast cancer.

为指导植物油在老化沥青再生中的合理应用,揭示植物油再生剂对老化沥青的再生及二次老化机制,探究其流变特性的变化,采用微、宏观相结合的方法对植物油再生沥青的微观结构组成、微观形貌特征和流变特性展开研究.结果表明:植物油再生剂因其富含芳香分,减少了老化沥青中羰基(C=O)和亚砜基(S=O)的相对含量,降低了沥青质的团聚程度,增大了“蜂状结构”形貌表面粗糙程度,故可实现对老化沥青的再生.老化沥青经植物油再生后,高温永久变形增大,高温抗车辙能力降低,但经二次老化后均得以恢复.老化沥青再生及二次老化的微观结构形貌及流

外泌体是由细胞分泌的一种纳米级盘状囊泡,天然包含有蛋白质、复杂RNA和脂类等“货物”,并广泛存在于生物组织与体液中,可通过血液、唾液、脑脊液乃至泪液等体液将这些具有生物活性的物质输送到附近的或远距离的细胞中,以此对受体细胞产生不同调节作用.外泌体的功能多种多样,可以参与到机体的细胞迁移与分化、抗原提呈、免疫应答、肿瘤侵袭等等方面,而定义它们的一个变量就是其细胞来源.本文总结了来源于几种不同细胞分泌的外泌体在眼部疾病中的有利性或有害性,并展望了外泌体未来在眼病中进行早期诊断和治疗方面的潜力.
