Metal halide perovskite materials have opened up a great opportunity for high-performance optoelectronic devices owing to their extraordinary optoelectronic properties. More than lead halide ones, stable and nontoxic bismuth halide perovskites exhibit more promise in their future commercialization. In this work, we developed for the first time photodetectors based on full-inorganic Cs 3 Bi 2 I 9−x Br x perovskites and modulate their performance by varying x in the composition systematically. Among those self-powered photodetectors, those based on Cs 3 Bi 2 I 6 Br 3 shows the best performance with excellent photosensitivity of 4.1 × 10 4 at zero bias as well as the responsivity and detectivity reaching 15 mA/W and 4.6 × 10 11 Jones, respectively. More strikingly, the full-inorganic perovskite photodetectors exhibit excellent stability in the ambient environment and can maintain over 96% of the initial value after 100 days owing to the high stability of the core perovskite film. The paper definitely paves an alternative and promising strategy for the design of future commercial photodetectors that are self-powered, stable, nontoxic, etc.
It is verified that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in various cancers. LncRNA LEF1-AS1 is a reported oncogene in colorectal cancer and glioblastoma. In this study, we unveiled that LEF1-AS1 markedly increased in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) tissues and cell lines. Besides, OSCC patients with high levels of LEF1-AS1 were apt to poor prognosis. Functionally, LEF1-AS1 knockdown inhibited cell survival, proliferation and migration, whereas enhanced cell apoptosis and induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest in vitro. Consistently, LEF1-AS1 silence hindered tumor growth in vivo. Moreover, LEF1-AS1 inhibition stimulated the activation of Hippo signaling pathway through directly interacting with LATS1. Furtherly, we disclosed that LEF1-AS1 silence abolished the interaction of LEF1-AS1 with LATS1 while enhanced the binding of LATS1 to MOB, therefore promoting YAP phosphorylation but impairing YAP1 nuclear translocation. Additionally, we demonstrated that LEF1-AS1 regulated YAP1 translocation via a LATS1-dependent manner. Furthermore, we also uncovered that YAP1 overexpression abolished the suppressive impact of LEF1-AS1 repression on the biological processes of OSCC cells. In a word, we concluded that LEF1-AS1 served an oncogenic part in OSCC through suppressing Hippo signaling pathway by interacting with LATS1, suggesting the therapeutic and prognostic potential of LEF1-AS1 in OSCC.
Objectives It has been widely reported that long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can participate in multiple biological processes of human cancers. lncRNA HLA complex group 11 (HCG11) has been reported in human cancers as a tumour suppressor. This study focused on investigating the function and mechanism of HCG11 in glioma. Materials and methods Based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data set and qRT‐PCR analysis, the expression pattern of HCG11 was identified in glioma samples. The mechanism associated with HCG11 downregulation was determined by mechanism experiments. Gain‐of‐function assays were conducted for the identification of HCG11 function in glioma progression. Mechanism investigation based on the luciferase reporter assay, RIP assay and pull‐down assay was used to explore the downstream molecular mechanism of HCG11. The role of molecular pathway in the progression of glioma was analysed in accordance with the rescue assays. Results HCG11 was expressed at low level in glioma samples compared with normal samples. FOXP1 could bind with HCG11 and transcriptionally inactivated HCG11. Overexpression of HCG11 efficiently suppressed cell proliferation, induced cell cycle arrest and promoted cell apoptosis. HCG11 was predominantly enriched in the cytoplasm of glioma cells and acted as a competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) by sponging micro‐496 to upregulate cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding protein 3 (CPEB3). CEPB3 and miR‐496 involved in HCG11‐mediated glioma progression. Conclusions HCG11 inhibited glioma progression by regulating miR‐496/CPEB3 axis.
Background: LncRNAs play crucial roles in the development of carcinomas. However, the investigation of LINC00662 in Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is still elusive. Methods: qRT-PCR assay tested the expression levels of LINC00662, hnRNPC and AK4. With exposure to irradiation, CCK-8, colony formation, flow cytometry and western blot experiments, respectively determined the function of LINC00662 in the radiosensitivity of OSCC cells. Then RIP and western blot assays affirmed the interaction between hnRNPC protein and LINC00662 or AK4. Finally, rescue assays validated the regulation mechanism of LINC00662 in the radioresistance of OSCC. Results: In the present report, LINC00662 was overexpressed in OSCC and its silencing could alleviate radioresistance of OSCC. Furthermore, the interaction between hnRNPC protein and LINC00662 or AK4 was uncovered. Besides, LINC00662 regulated AK4 mRNA stability through binding to hnRNPC protein. To sum up, LINC00662 modulated the radiosensitivity of OSCC cells via hnRNPC-modulated AK4. Conclusion: The molecular mechanism of the LINC00662/hnRNPC/AK4 axis was elucidated in OSCC, which exhibited a promising therapeutic direction for patients with OSCC.
