... The hypoxic tumor microenvironment and photodynamic therapy (PDT)-aggravated hypoxia compromise the anticancer efficacy of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and PDT. Thus, sophisticated nanomedicines that can activate their anticancer capability in situ in response to specific stimuli need to be developed. This study aimed to construct a hybrid nanomedicine that activated chemotherapy by inducing hypox ...
... Epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a significant role in cancer metastasis. A series of models have focused on EMT regulation by TGF‐β network. However, how EMT is regulated under hypoxia is less understood. We developed a model of HIF‐1α network to explore the potential link between EMT and the network topology. Our results revealed that three positive feedback loops, composed of HI ...
... Animals originated under hypoxia—low‐oxygen conditions that are currently expanding throughout the global ocean. How marine sponges respond to hypoxia is both relevant to reconstructing early animal evolution and for forecasting the fate of modern marine ecosystems. In a new effort, multiple sponge species from two different oceans were found to tolerate hypoxia in the lab, revealing a more genera ...

... Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and cancer continue to be the primary cause of mortality worldwide and their pathomechanisms are a complex and multifactorial process. Insufficient oxygen availability (hypoxia) plays critical roles in the pathogenesis of both CVDs and cancer diseases, and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), the main sensor of hypoxia, acts as a central regulator of multiple target g ...

Abstract:
... The use of fluorescent probes in visible detection has been developed over the last several decades. Biomolecules are essential in the biological processes of organisms, and their distribution and concentration are largely influenced by environmental factors. Significant advances have occurred in the applications of fluorescent probes for the detection of the dynamic localization and quantity of b ...

Abstract:
... Oxygen and reactive oxygen species (ROS), as indispensable small molecular substances in the basic metabolism of life, have become the key to the success of implantable medical materials, and their importance cannot be overstated. Either improving the hypoxia environment in vivo to avoid tissue damage or using the ROS to selectively kill cells are the strategies adopted in the actual biomedical ap ...
... The dioxin-like substances polyhalogenated carbazoles (PHCZs) may trigger the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) signaling pathway. Although the crosstalk between AhR and the hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) pathways is generally believed to occur, the exact mechanisms of the HIF-1 pathway in PHCZ toxicity have not been determined. We aimed to elucidate the effect of PHCZs on the HIF-1 pathway and ...

Abstract:
... Perinatal hypoxia ischaemia (PHI), acute and chronic, may be associated with considerable adverse outcomes in the foetus and neonate. The molecular and cellular mechanisms of injury and repair associated with PHI in the perinate are not completely understood. Increasing evidence is mounting for the role of nutrients and bioactive food components in immune development, function and repair in PHI. I ...

Abstract:
... Type I photodynamic therapy (PDT) with less oxygen consumption shows great potential to overcome the malignant hypoxia in solid tumors. Herein, a novel meso phosphate-substituted pyronin PY-P and its nanoparticles (PY-P NPs) were prepared as an efficient type I organic photosensitizer. The in vivo data prove that PY-P NPs have outstanding low dark toxicity but high photocytotoxicity under hypoxia ...

Abstract:
... Considering that hypoxia is closely associated with tumor proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and drug resistance, it is of great significance to overcome hypoxia in tumor treatment. Herein, we report a hypoxia-induced specific photothermal therapy (PTT) based on the photothermal agent of supramolecular perylene diimide radical anions. Hypoxic regions in various tumors display strong reductive ab ...

Abstract:
... The hypoxia in tumor microenvironment (TME) can upregulate the HIF-1α and PD-L1 expression and cause immunosuppression of tumor. In this study, a carboxymethyl chitosan-based pH/hypoxia-responsive and γ-Fe₂O₃/isosorbide dinitrate carrying micelle was designed, and it could catalyze endogenous H₂O₂ to generate oxygen and relieve hypoxia in TME, so as to relieve the overexpression of HIF-1α and PD-L ...

Abstract:
... Photothermal therapy (PTT) has been widely employed in tumor treatment due to the non-invasive, highly selective, and low toxic side effects. However, the limited penetration of laser couples with the metastasis and recurrence of tumors, thus failing to eliminate them. Here, we report that ceria-loaded gold@platinum (CeO₂/Au@Pt) nanospheres modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG). exhibit dual enz ...

Abstract:
... Aberrant tumor vasculature leads to the malignant tumor microenvironment (TME) for tumor progression. Research has found temporary tumor vascular normalization after treated with low-dose anti-angiogenic agents, however, has paid little attention to prolonging the normalization window and its further influence on tumor tissue. Based on the dose- and time-dependent effect of anti-angiogenic agents, ...

Abstract:
... Hypoxia (low oxygen stress) is increasingly reported on coral reefs, caused by ocean deoxygenation linked to coastal nutrient pollution and ocean warming. While the ability to regulate respiration is a key driver of hypoxia tolerance in many other aquatic taxa, corals' oxyregulatory capabilities remain virtually unexplored. Here, we examine O₂-consumption patterns across 17 coral species under dec ...

Abstract:
... Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a strong association of ambient fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅) exposure with the increasing mortality by ischemic heart disease (IHD), but the involved mechanisms remain poorly understood. Herein, we found that the chronic exposure of real ambient PM₂.₅ led to the upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) protein in the myocardium of mice, ...

The von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) Cullin RING E3 ligase is an essential enzyme in the ubiquitin-proteasome system that recruits substrates such as the hypoxia inducible factor for ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation. The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway can be hijacked toward non-native neo-substrate proteins using proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs), bifunctional molecules designed t ...

Abstract:
... Oxygen vacancies play a vital role in the catalytic activity of layered double hydroxide (LDH) catalysts in wastewater treatment. However, the mechanism of oxygen vacancy-mediated LDH-activated oxygen to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) still lacks a reasonable explanation. In this work, a tartrate-modified CuCoFe-LDH (CuCoFe/Tar-LDH) with abundant oxygen vacancies was designed, which can eff ...
