Article Abstract

Chemotherapy-induced different cell fates play crucial roles in cancer treatment outcomes; however, the cross-talk between the cell fates during cancer recurrence remains unclear. Here, we found that the transition from cellular senescence to pyroptosis promoted small cell lung cancer (SCLC) recurrence after cisplatin and etoposide treatment. Parts of the senescent SCLC cells induced by chemotherapy showed positive cytoplasmic chromatin fragments (CCFs), and CCFs activated the ubiquitin-editing enzyme A20, which stabilized NLRP3 through its deubiquitinating activity, resulting in senescent cells undergoing pyroptosis. Subsequent inflammatory factors [such as interleukin-1 (IL-1)] released by pyroptosis promoted the acquisition of stem-like properties in CCF-negative senescent cells, ultimately promoting tumor recurrence. We also found that a combination of IL-1 receptor antagonist anakinra with chemotherapy delayed recurrence of SCLC, suggesting previously unidentified therapeutic strategies for SCLC.

Additive assisted strategies play a crucial role in optimizing the morphology and improving the performance of organic solar cells (OSCs), yet the molecular-level mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we employ molecular dynamics (AIMD) and density functional theory (DFT) to elucidate the influence of typical additives of 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO) and 3,5-dichlorobromobenzene (DCBB) on molecular packing, electronic structures, and charge transport. It can be observed that both additives can enhance the stacking properties of the donor and acceptor materials, yet they have different effects on the local electrostatic environment.

MS4A4A belongs to the MS4A tetraspan protein superfamily and is selectively expressed by the monocyte-macrophage lineage. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the role of MS4A4A+ macrophages in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis and response to treatment. RNA sequencing and immunohistochemistry of synovial samples from either early treatment-naïve or active chronic RA patients showed that MS4A4A expression positively correlated with synovial inflammation.

Chromatin dynamics play a crucial role in cellular differentiation, yet tools for studying global chromatin mobility in living cells remain limited. Here, a novel probe is developeded for the metabolic labeling of chromatin and tracking its mobility during neural differentiation. The labeling system utilizes a newly developed silicon rhodamine-conjugated deoxycytidine triphosphate (dCTP).
