Organic Mass Cytometry Discriminating Cycle Stages of Single Cells with Small Molecular Indicators

Shu-Ting Xu, Cheng Yang, Xiu-Ping Yan

Summary: Cell cycle discrimination is crucial for studying cellular heterogeneity in single-cell analysis based on organic mass spectrometry. A robust protocol using three small molecular indicators was developed to discriminate single cells at different cycle stages in real time. This protocol successfully discriminated single cells at G0/G1, S, and G2/M stages and revealed significant heterogeneity in amino acids, nucleotides, energy metabolic intermediates, and phospholipids among cells at different cycle stages.

Infection Microenvironment-Mediated Nanoplatform for In Vivo Persistent Luminescence Imaging and Chemodynamic Antibacterial Therapy

Li-Ya Wang, Li-Jian Chen, Xu Zhao, Yan Lv, Tianxi Liu, Xiu-Ping Yan

Summary: The researchers report an activatable antimicrobial nanoplatform with ultralow-background persistent luminescent (PL) turn-on imaging and therapeutic capability. The platform utilizes chitosan as a linker to immobilize copper ions on the surface of persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs) to fabricate PLNPs-CS-Cu2+. The PL emission of PLNPs is quenched by Cu2+ under physiological conditions but recovered due to the conversion of Cu2+ into Cu+ by high glutathione (GSH) levels at the infection site. The as-prepared antibacterial nanoplatform shows promise for highly sensitive persistent luminescent imaging and simultaneous treatment of bacterial infection.

Reductive dechlorination of chlorinated ethenes by ball milled and mechanochemically sulfidated microscale zero valent iron: A comparative study

Shuyan Wu, Shichao Cai, Fengyang Qin, Feng He, Tianxi Liu, Xiuping Yan, Zhenyu Wang

Summary: Ball milling is effective in activating and reducing the size of microscale zero valent iron (mZVI) and sulfidating mZVI mechanochemically. However, there are differences in the interaction between chlorinated ethenes (CEs) and ball milled mZVI (mZVIbm) and mechanochemically sulfidated mZVI (S-mZVIbm) that are not well understood. This study found that simple ball milling exposed active Fe0 sites, while mechanochemical sulfidation decreased Fe0 sites and increased S2 sites. The sulfidation process enhanced the reactivity of TCE dechlorination the most, followed by PCE and 1,1-DCE, but reduced the reactivity of trans-DCE, cis-DCE, and VC compared to simple ball milling. Sulfidation also improved the electron efficiency of CE dechlorination, except for cis-DCE and VC. The kSA of cis-DCE, VC, and trans-DCE dechlorination positively correlated with the sulfide content.
