Abstract
Synergistic therapy has shown greater advantages compared with monotherapy. However, the complex multiple-administration plan and potential side effects limit its clinical application. A transformable specific-responsive peptide (TSRP) is utilized to one-step achieve synergistic therapy integrating anti-tumor, anti-angiogenesis and immune response. The TSRP is composed of: i) Recognition unit could specifically target and inhibit the biological function of FGFR-1; ii) Transformable unit could self-assembly and trigger nanofibers formation; iii) Reactive unit could specifically cleaved by MMP-2/9 in tumor micro-environment; iv) Immune unit, stimulate the release of immune cells when LTX-315 (Immune-associated oncolytic peptide) exposed. Once its binding to FGFR-1, the TSRP could cleaved by MMP-2/9 to form the nanofibers on the cell membrane, with a retention time of up to 12 h. Through suppressing the phosphorylation levels of ERK 1/2 and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways downstream of FGFR-1, the TSRP significant inhibit the growth of tumor cells and the formation of angioginesis. Furthermore, LTX-315 is exposed after TSRP cleavage, resulting in Calreticulin activation and CD8+ T cells infiltration. All above processes together contribute to the increasing survival rate of tumor-bearing mice by nearly 4-folds. This work presented a unique design for the biological application of one-step synergistic therapy of bladder cancer.

Abstract
Mitochondriopathy inspired adenosine triphosphate (ATP) depletions have been recognized as a powerful way for controlling tumor growth. Nevertheless, selective sequestration or exhaustion of ATP under complex biological environments remains a prodigious challenge. Harnessing the advantages of in vivo self-assembled nanomaterials, we designed an Intracellular ATP Sequestration (IAS) system to specifically construct nanofibrous nanostructures on the surface of tumor nuclei with exposed ATP binding sites, leading to highly efficient suppression of bladder cancer by induction of mitochondriopathy-like damages. Briefly, the reported transformable nucleopeptide (NLS-FF-T) self-assembled into nuclear-targeted nanoparticles with ATP binding sites encapsulated inside under aqueous conditions. By interaction with KPNA2, the NLS-FF-T transformed into a nanofibrous-based ATP trapper on the surface of tumor nuclei, which prevented the production of intracellular energy. As a result, multiple bladder tumor cell lines (T24, EJ and RT-112) revealed that the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of NLS-FF-T was reduced by approximately 4-fold when compared to NLS-T. Following intravenous administration, NLS-FF-T was found to be dose-dependently accumulated at the tumor site of T24 xenograft mice. More significantly, this IAS system exhibited an extremely antitumor efficacy according to the deterioration of T24 tumors and simultaneously prolonged the overall survival of T24 orthotopic xenograft mice. Together, our findings clearly demonstrated the therapeutic advantages of intracellular ATP sequestration-induced mitochondriopathy-like damages, which provides a potential treatment strategy for malignancies.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint blockade therapy represented by programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor for advanced renal carcinoma with an objective response rate (ORR) in patients is less than 20%. It is attributed to abundant tumoral vasculature with abnormal structure limiting effector T cell infiltration and drug penetration. We propose a bispecific fibrous glue (BFG) to regulate tumor immune and vascular microenvironments simultaneously. The bispecific precursor glue peptide-1 (pre-GP1) can penetrate tumor tissue deeply and self-assemble into BFG in the presence of neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) and PD-L1. The resultant fibrous glue is capable of normalizing tumoral vasculature as well as restricting immune escape. The pre-GP1 retains a 6-fold higher penetration depth than that of antibody in the multicellular spheroids (MCSs) model. It also shows remarkable tumor growth inhibition (TGI) from 19% to 61% in a murine advanced large tumor model compared to the clinical combination therapy. In addition, in the orthotopic renal tumor preclinical model, the lung metastatic nodules are reduced by 64% compared to the clinically used combination. This pre-GP1 provides a promising strategy to control the progression and metastasis of advanced renal carcinoma.

Abstract
Emerging evidence indicates that the activation of ferroptosis by glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) inhibitors may be a prominent therapeutic strategy for tumor suppression. However, the wide application of GPX4 inhibitors in tumor therapy is hampered due to poor tumor delivery efficacy and the nonspecific activation of ferroptosis. Taking advantage of in vivo self-assembly, we develop a peptide-ferriporphyrin conjugate with tumor microenvironment specific activation to improve tumor penetration, endocytosis and GPX4 inhibition, ultimately enhancing its anticancer activity via ferroptosis. Briefly, a GPX4 inhibitory peptide is conjugated with an assembled peptide linker decorated with a pH-sensitive moiety and ferriporphyrin to produce the peptide-ferriporphyrin conjugate (Gi-F-CAA). Under the acidic microenvironment of the tumor, the Gi-F-CAA self-assembles into large nanoparticles (Gi-F) due to enhanced hydrophobic interaction after hydrolysis of CAA, improving tumor endocytosis efficiency. Importantly, Gi-F exhibits substantial inhibition of GPX4 activity by assembly enhanced binding (AEB) effect, augmenting the oxidative stress of ferriporphyrin-based Fenton reaction, ultimately enabling antitumor properties in multiple tumor models. Our findings suggest that this peptide-ferriporphyrin conjugate design with AEB effect can improve the therapeutic effect via induction of ferroptosis, providing an alternative strategy for overcoming chemoresistance.

Abstract
Anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody has achieved substantial success in tumor immunotherapy by T-cells activation. However, the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix components induced by unsatisfactory T-cells infiltration and poor tumor penetration of antibodies make it challenging to realize efficient tumor immunotherapy. Herein, a peptide-based bispecific nanoblocker (BNB) strategy is reported for in situ construction of CXCR4/PD-L1 targeted nanoclusters on the surface of tumor cells that are capable of boosting T-cells infiltration through CXCR4 blockage and enhancing T-cells activation by PD-L1 occupancy, ultimately realizing high-performance tumor immunotherapy. Briefly, the BNB strategy selectively recognizes and bonds CXCR4/PD-L1 with deep tumor penetration, which rapidly self-assembles into nanoclusters on the surface of tumor cells. Compared to the traditional bispecific antibody, BNB exhibits an intriguing metabolic behavior, that is, the elimination half-life (t1/2 ) of BNB in the tumor is 69.3 h which is ≈50 times longer than that in the plasma (1.4 h). The higher tumor accumulation and rapid systemic clearance overcome potential systemic side effects. Moreover, the solid tumor stress generated by excessive extracellular matrix components is substantially reduced to 44%, which promotes T-cells infiltration and activation for immunotherapy efficacy. Finally, these findings substantially strengthen and extend clinical applications of PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy.

Abstract
Bioactive macromolecules show great promise for the treatment of various diseases. However, the cytosolic delivery of peptide-based drugs remains a challenging task owing to the existence of multiple intracellular barriers and ineffective endosomal escape. To address these issues, herein, programmable self-assembling peptide vectors are reported to amplify cargo internalization into the cytoplasm through receptor-activated macropinocytosis. Programmable self-assembling peptide vector-active human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) signaling induces the receptor-activated macropinocytosis pathway, achieving efficient uptake in tumor cells. Shrinking macropinosomes accelerate the process of assembly dynamics and form nanostructures in the cytoplasm to increase peptide-based cargo accumulation and retention. Inductively coupled plasma mass (ICP-MS) spectrometry quantitative analysis indicates that the Gd delivery efficiency in tumor tissue through the macropinocytosis pathway is improved 2.5-fold compared with that through the use of active targeting molecular delivery. Finally, compared with nanoparticles and active targeting delivery, the delivery of bioactive peptide drugs through the self-assembly of peptide vectors maintains high drug activity (the IC50 decreased twofold) in the cytoplasm and achieves effective inhibition of tumor cell growth. Programmable self-assembling peptide vectors represent a promising platform for the intracellular delivery of diverse bioactive drugs, including molecular drugs, peptides, and biologics.

Abstract
Proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) is an emerging pharmacological modality with innovated post-translational protein degradation capabilities. However, off-target induced unintended tissue effects and intrinsic "hook effect" hinder PROTAC biotechnology to be maturely developed. Herein, an intracellular fabricated nano proteolysis targeting chimeras (Nano-PROTACs) modality with a center-spoke degradation network for achieving efficient dose-dependent protein degradation in tumor is reported. The PROTAC precursors are triggered by higher GSH concentrations inside tumor cells, which subsequently in situ self-assemble into Nano-PROTACs through intermolecular hydrogen bond interactions. The fibrous Nano-PROTACs can form effective polynary complexes and E3 ligases degradation network with multi-binding sites, achieving dose-dependent protein degradation with "anti-hook effect". The generality and efficacy of Nano-PROTACs are validated by degrading variable protein of interest (POI) such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and androgen receptor (AR) in a wide-range dose-dependent manner with a 95 % degradation rate and long-lasting potency up to 72 h in vitro. Significantly, Nano-PROTACs achieve in vivo dose-dependent protein degradation up to 79 % and tumor growth inhibition in A549 and LNCap xenograft mice models, respectively. Taking advantages of in situ self-assembly strategy, the Nano-PROTACs provide a generalizable platform to promote precise clinical translational application of PROTAC.

Abstract
The tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in intratumoral hypoxic regions are key drivers of immune escape. Reprogramming the hypoxic TAMs to antitumor phenotype holds great therapeutic benefits but remains challenging for current drugs. Here, an in situ activated nanoglycocluster is reported to realize effective tumor penetration and potent repolarization of hypoxic TAMs. Triggered by the hypoxia-upregulated matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), the nanoglycocluster is self-assembled from the administered mannose-containing precursor glycopeptides and presents densely-arrayed mannoses to multivalently engage with mannose receptors on M2-like TAMs for efficient phenotype switch. By virtue of the high diffusivity of precursor glycopeptides due to their low molecular mass and weak affinity with TAMs in perivascular regions, the nanoglycoclusters are capable of substantially accumulating in hypoxic areas to strongly interact with local TAMs. This enables the efficient repolarization of overall TAMs with a higher rate than the small-molecule drug R848 and CD40 antibody, and beneficial therapeutic effects in mouse tumor models especially when combining with PD-1 antibody. This on-demand activated immunoagent is endowed with tumor-penetrating properties and inspires the design of diverse intelligent nanomedicines for hypoxia-related cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Stronger intrinsic Warburg effect and resistance to chemotherapy are the responses to high mortality of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) plays an important role in this process. Promoting PKM2 conversion from dimer to tetramer is a critical strategy to inhibit Warburg effect and reverse chemotherapy resistance. Herein, a PKM2 allosteric converter (PAC) is constructed based on the "in vivo self-assembly" strategy, which is able to continuously stimulate PKM2 tetramerization. The PAC contains three motifs, a serine site that is protected by enzyme cleavable β-N-acetylglucosamine, a self-assembly peptide and a AIE motif. Once PAC nanoparticles reach tumor site via the EPR effect, the protective and hydrophilic β-N-acetylglucosamine will be removed by over-expressed O-GlcNAcase (OGA), causing self-assembled peptides to transform into nanofibers with large serine (PKM2 tetramer activator) exposure and long-term retention, which promotes PKM2 tetramerization continuously. Our results show that PAC-induced PKM2 tetramerization inhibits aberrant metabolism mediated by Warburg effect in cytoplasm. In this way, tumor proliferation and metastasis behavior could be effectively inhibited. Meanwhile, PAC induced PKM2 tetramerization impedes the nuclear translocation of PKM2 dimer, which restores the sensitivity of cancer cells to first-line anticancer drugs. Collectively, the innovative PAC effectively promotes PKM2 conversion from dimer to tetramer, and it might provide a novel approach for suppressing RCC and enhancing chemotherapy sensitivity.

Abstract
Up to 75% of bladder cancer patients suffer from recurrence due to postoperative tumor implantation. However, clinically used Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) treatment failed to inhibit the recurrence. Here, we report a bispecific glycopeptide (bsGP) that simultaneously targets CD206 on tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and CXCR4 on tumor cells. bsGP repolarizes protumoral M2-like TAMs to antitumor M1-like that mediated cytotoxicity and T cell recruitment. Meanwhile, bsGP is cleaved by the MMP-2 enzyme to form nanostructure for the long-term inhibition of CXCR4 downstream signaling, resulting in reduced tumor metastasis and promoted T cell infiltration. In orthotopic bladder tumor models, bsGP reduced the postoperative recurrence rate to 22%. In parallel, the recurrence rates of 89 and 78% were treated by doxycycline and BCG used in clinic, respectively. Mechanistic studies reveal that bsGP reduces the matrix microenvironment barrier, increasing the spatially redirected CD8+ T cells to tumor cells. We envision that bis-targeting CD206 and CXCR4 may pave the way to inhibit tumor metastasis and recurrence.

Abstract
The One-Bead One-Compound (OBOC) library screening is an efficient technique for identifying targeting peptides. However, due to the relatively large bead size, it is challenging for the OBOC method to be applied for in vivo screening. Herein, we report an in vivo Localized Instillation Beads library (LIB) screening method to discover targeting peptides with the OBOC technique. Inspired by localized instillation, we constructed a cavity inside of a transplanted tumor of a mouse. Then, the OBOC heptapeptide library was injected and incubated inside the tumor cavity. After an efficient elution process, the retained beads were gathered, from which three MDA-MB-231 tumor-targeting heptapeptides were discovered. It was verified that the best peptide had 1.9-fold higher tumor accumulation than the commonly used targeting peptide RGD in vivo. Finally, two targeting proteins were discovered as potential targets of our targeting peptide to the MDA-MB-231 tumor. The in vivo LIB screening method expands the scope of OBOC peptide screening applications to discover targeting peptides in vivo feasibly and reliably.

Abstract
Nanomaterials (NMs) inevitably adsorb proteins in blood and form "protein corona" upon intravenous administration as drug carriers, potentially changing the biological properties and intended functions. Inspired by anti-adhesion properties of natural proteins, herein, we employed the one-bead one-compound (OBOC) combinatorial peptide library method to screen anti-adhesion peptides (AAPs) against proteins. The library beads displaying random peptides were screened with three fluorescent-labeled plasma proteins. The nonfluorescence beads, presumed to have anti-adhesion property against the proteins, were isolated for sequence determination. These identified AAPs were coated on gold nanorods (GNRs), enabling significant extension of the blood circulating half-life of these GNRs in mice to 37.8 h, much longer than that (26.6 h) of PEG-coated GNRs. In addition, such AAP coating was found to alter the biodistribution profile of GNRs in mice. The bioinspired screening strategy and resulting peptides show great potential for enhancing the delivery efficiency and targeting ability of NMs.

Abstract
Targeted immunomodulation through biomolecule-based nanostructures, especially to dendritic cells (DCs), holds great promise for effective cancer therapy. However, construction of high-performance agonist by mimicking natural ligand to activate immune cell signaling is a great challenge so far. Here, a peptide-based nanoagonist toward CD40 (PVA-CD40) with preorganized interfacial topological structure that activates lymph node DCs efficiently and persistently, achieving amplified immune therapeutic efficacy is described. The on-site fabrication of PVA-CD40 is realized through the click conjugation of two functional peptides including the "CD40 anchoring arm" and the "assembly-driving motor." The resultant polyvalent interface rapidly triggers the receptor oligomerization and downstream signaling. Strikingly, one shot administration of PVA-CD40 elicits maturation period of DCs up to 2.3-fold comparing to that of CD40 antibody. Finally, combining the PVA-CD40 with anti-PD-1 antibody results in subsequent inhibition of tumor growth in both B16F10 and 4T1 mice tumor models with survival rate up to 37%, while none of the mice survives in the clinically relevant CD40 mAb and anti-PD-1 combination-treated group. It is envisioned that the fabrication of antibody-like superstructures in vivo provides an efficient platform for modulating the duration of immune response to achieve optimal therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Lysosome-targeting self-assembling prodrugs had emerged as an attractive approach to overcome the acquisition of resistance to chemotherapeutics by inhibiting lysosomal sequestration. Taking advantage of lysosomal acidification induced intracellular hydrolytic condensation, we developed a lysosomal-targeting self-condensation prodrug-nanoplatform (LTSPN) system for overcoming lysosome-mediated drug resistance. Briefly, the designed hydroxycamptothecine (HCPT)-silane conjugates self-assembled into silane-based nanoparticles, which were taken up into lysosomes by tumor cells. Subsequently, the integrity of the lysosomal membrane was destructed because of the acid-triggered release of alcohol, wherein the nanoparticles self-condensed into silicon particles outside the lysosome through intracellular hydrolytic condensation. Significantly, the LTSPN system reduced the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of HCPT by approximately 4 times. Furthermore, the LTSPN system realized improved control of large established tumors and reduced regrowth of residual tumors in several drug-resistant tumor models. Our findings suggested that target destructing the integrity of the lysosomal membrane may improve the therapeutic effects of chemotherapeutics, providing a potent treatment strategy for malignancies.

Abstract
Intravesical administration of first-line drugs has shown failure in the treatment of bladder cancer owing to the poor tumor retention time of chemotherapeutics. Herein, we report an intracellular hydrolytic condensation (IHC) system to construct long-term retentive nano-drug depots in situ, wherein sustained drug release results in highly efficient suppression of bladder cancer. Briefly, the designed doxorubicin (Dox)-silane conjugates self-assemble into silane-based prodrug nanoparticles, which condense into silicon particle-based nano-drug depots inside tumor cells. Significantly, we demonstrate that the IHC system possesses highly potent antitumor efficacy, which leads to the regression and eradication of large established tumors and simultaneously extends the overall survival of air pouch bladder cancer mice compared with that of mice treated with Dox. The concept of intracellular hydrolytic condensation can be extended via conjugating other chemotherapeutic drugs, which may facilitate rational design of novel nanomedicines for augmentation of chemotherapy.

Abstract
Burn injuries without the normal skin barrier usually cause skin wound infections, and wound dressings are necessary. Although various dressings with antibacterial ability have already been developed, the biosafety and administration mode are still bottleneck problems for further application. Herein, we designed skin-like wound dressings based on silk fibroin (SF), which are modified with the gelatinase-cleavable self-assembled/antibacterial peptide (GPLK) and epidermal growth factor (EGF). When a skin wound is infected, the gelatinase over-secreted by bacteria can cut the GPLK peptides, leading to the in situ self-assembly of peptides and the resultant high-efficiency sterilization. Compared with the commercial antibacterial dressing, the SF-GPLK displayed a faster wound healing rate. When a skin wound is not infected, the GPLK peptides remain in the SF, realizing good biosafety. Generally, the EGF can be released to promote wound healing and skin regeneration in both cases. Therefore, skin-like SF-GPLK wound dressings with on-demand release of antibacterial peptides provide a smart administration mode for clinical wound management and skin regeneration.

Abstract
Real-time imaging of the tumour boundary is important during surgery to ensure that sufficient tumour tissue has been removed. However, the current fluorescence probes for bioimaging suffer from poor tumour specificity and narrow application of the imaging window used. Here, we report a bioactivated in vivo assembly (BIVA) nanotechnology, demonstrating a general optical probe with enhanced tumour accumulation and prolonged imaging window. The BIVA probe exhibits active targeting and assembly induced retention effect, which improves selectivity to tumours. The surface specific nanofiber assembly on the tumour surface increases the accumulation of probe at the boundary of the tumor. The blood circulation time of the BIVA probe is prolonged by 110 min compared to idocyanine green. The assembly induced metabolic stability broaden the difference between the tumor and background, obtaining a delayed imaging window between 8-96 h with better signal-to-background contrast (>9 folds). The fabricated BIVA probe permits precise imaging of small sized (<2 mm) orthotopic pancreatic tumors in vivo. The high specificity and sensitivity of the BIVA probe may further benefit the intraoperative imaging in a clinical setting.

Abstract
Peptide drug conjugate (PDC) has emerged as one of the new generations of targeted therapeutics for cancer, which owns the advantages of improved drug targetability and reduced adverse effects compared with traditional chemotherapy. However, the poor permeability of PDC drugs regarding tumor cells is an urgent problem to be solved. Herein, we design a PDC drug molecule, which is composed of three modules: targeting motif (RGD target), assembly motif (GNNNQNY) and cytotoxic payload (CPT molecule). This PDC in situ forms nanoclusters upon binding cellular receptor, resulting in improved PDC cell-entry efficiency and treatment efficacy. In addition, the PDC shows increased therapeutic efficacy and raises the maximum tolerance dose of the drug in breast and bladder xenografted mice models. This strategy leverages the assembly principle to promote penetration of peptide molecules into cells and increase intracellular drug bioavailability, which is of great significance for the development of PDC drugs in the future.

Abstract
Life is recognized as a sophisticated self-assembling material system. Cancer involves the overexpression and improper self-assembly of proteins, such as cytoskeleton protein vimentin, an emerging target related to tumor metastasis. Herein, we design a binding-induced fibrillogenesis (BIF) peptide that in situ forms fibrous networks, blocking the improper self-assembly of vimentin against cancer. The BIF peptide can bind to vimentin and subsequently perform fibrillogenesis to form fibers on vimentin. The resultant peptide fibrous network blocks vimentin skeletonization and inhibits the migration and invasion of tumor cells. In mouse models of tumor metastasis, the volume of tumor and the number of lung metastases are markedly decreased. Moreover, the efficacy of BIF peptide (5 mg/kg) is much higher than small molecular antimetastasis drug withaferin A (5 mg/kg) as a standard, indicating that the BIF peptide shows advantages over small molecular inhibitors in blocking the intracellular protein self-assembly.

Abstract
Different from chemical (small molecular inhibitor) and biological (monoclonal antibody) drugs, herein, based on angiogenesis-related neuropilin-1 (NRP-1), we develop a biomimetic superstructure drug, i.e. an antibody-like peptidic network (ALPN) to achieve the high-efficient treatment of choroidal neovascularization (CNV). The ALPN in nanoparticulated formulation (ALPN-NPS) can bind NRP-1 through targeting unit and form fibrous peptidic networks trapping NRP-1 on the surface of endothelial cells (ECs), leading to anti-angiogenesis. The ALPN shows high-efficacy against angiogenesis in CNV rat model ascribed to the superstructure-enhanced binding and blockage of NRP-1. The very low dose of ALPN (0.263 μg/Kg) exhibits similar anti-angiogenesis effect comparing with monoclonal antibody bevacizumab (23.5 μg/Kg), which shows potential advantages over traditional monoclonal antibodies.

Abstract
Platelets play a critical role in the regulation of coagulation, one of the essential processes in life, attracting great attention. However, mimicking platelets for in vivo artificial coagulation is still a great challenge due to the complexity of the process. Here, we design platelet-like nanoparticles (pNPs) based on self-assembled peptides that initiate coagulation and form clots in blood vessels. The pNPs first bind specifically to a membrane glycoprotein (i.e., CD105) overexpressed on angiogenetic endothelial cells in the tumor site and simultaneously transform into activated platelet-like nanofibers (apNFs) through ligand-receptor interactions. Next, the apNFs expose more binding sites and recruit and activate additional pNPs, forming artificial clots in both phantom and animal models. The pNPs are proven to be safe in mice without systemic coagulation. The self-assembling peptides mimic platelets and achieve artificial coagulation in vivo, thus providing a promising therapeutic strategy for tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A superficial abdominal surgical incision elicits cardioprotection against cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in mice. This process, called remote preconditioning of trauma (RPCT), has both an early and a late phase. Previous investigations have demonstrated that early RPCT reduces cardiac infarct size by 80% to 85%. We evaluated the cardioprotective and molecular mechanisms of late-phase RPCT in a murine I/R injury model. METHODS Wild-type mice, bradykinin (BK) 2 receptor knockout mice, 3M transgenic mice (nuclear factor κB [NF-κb] repressor inhibitor of nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells inhibitor alpha [IκBα((S32A, S36A, Y42F))]), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) knockout mice were analyzed using a previously established I/R injury model. A noninvasive abdominal surgical incision was made 24 hours prior to I/R injury and the infarct size was determined at 24 hours post-I/R injury. RESULTS The results indicated that a strong cardioprotective effect occurred during late-phase RPCT (58.42% ± 1.89% sham vs 29.41% ± 4.00% late RPCT, mean area of the infarct divided by the mean area of the risk region; P ≤ .05; n = 10). Furthermore, pharmacological intervention revealed the involvement of neurogenic signaling in the beneficial effects of late RPCT via sensory and sympathetic thoracic nerves. Pharmacological experiments in transgenic mice-implicated BK receptors, β-adrenergic receptors, protein kinase C, and NF-κB but not iNOS signaling in the cardioprotective effects of late RPCT. CONCLUSION Late RPCT significantly decreased myocardial infarct size via neurogenic transmission and various other signaling pathways. This protective mechanism differentiates late and early RPCT. This study describes a new cardiac I/R injury prevention method and refines the concept of RPCT.

Abstract
Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is one of the most widespread and destructive wheat diseases worldwide. Growing resistant cultivars is the preferred means of control of the disease. The winter wheat cultivar Xiaoyan 54 has high-temperature resistance to stripe rust. To identify genes for stripe rust resistance, Xiaoyan 54 was crossed with Mingxian 169, a winter wheat genotype susceptible to all Chinese races of the pathogen. Seedlings and adult plants of the parents and F(1), F(2), F(3) and F(4) progeny were tested with Chinese race CYR32 under controlled greenhouse conditions and in the field. Xiaoyan 54 has two recessive resistance genes, designated as Yrxy1 and Yrxy2, conferring high-temperature resistance. Simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers were used to identify molecular markers flanking Yrxy2 using 181 plants from one segregating F(3) line. A total of nine markers, two of which flanked the locus at genetic distances of 4.0 and 6.4 cM on the long arm of chromosome 2A were identified. Resistance gene analog polymorphism (RGAP) and SSR techniques were used to identify molecular markers linked to Yrxy1. A linkage group of nine RGAP and two SSR markers was constructed for Yrxy1 using 177 plants of another segregating F(3) line. Two RGAP markers were closely linked to the locus with genetic distances of 2.3 and 3.5 cM. Amplification of a set of nulli-tetrasomic Chinese Spring lines with RGAP markers M8 and M9 and the two SSR markers located Yrxy1 on the short arm of chromosome 7A. The SSR markers Xbarc49 and Xwmc422 were 15.8 and 26.1 cM, respectively, from the gene. The closely linked molecular markers should be useful for incorporating the resistance genes into commercial cultivars and combining them with other genes for stripe rust resistance.

Abstract
Chang-liver cells is a cell line generated from human liver tissue, which is often used in scientific research. ADAMs are a family of proteins that consist of multi-domains, possess multi-functions and play a central role in normal or abnormal physiological conditions, such as regeneration and tumorigenesis. To investigate the expression and functional alteration of the ADAMs or ADAM related proteins in Chang-liver cells, this cell line was treated with heat stress, modified Hanks solution containing ATP or other buffers. Our results showed that the treatment with Hanks solution containing ATP induces Chang-liver cells to express new ADAM related proteins. To analyze these new ADAM related proteins, a cDNA expression library was constructed for the treated Chang-liver cells. A series of positive clones were obtained through immunoscreening with an ADAMs common antibody. A new ADAM related protein possessing alkaline protease activity was confirmed in these clones.

Abstract
The direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) applied for fluoride removal from brackish groundwater is presented. The self-prepared polyvinylidene fluoride membrane exhibited high rejection of inorganic salt solutes and a maximum permeate flux 35.6 kgm(-2) h(-1) was obtained. The feed concentration had no marked impact on the permeate flux and the rejection of fluoride. The precipitation of CaCO3 would clog the hollow fiber inlets and foul the membrane surface with the increase of concentration factor when natural groundwater was used directly as the feed, which resulted in a rapid decline of the module efficiency. This phenomenon was diminished by acidification of the feed. The experimental results showed that the permeate flux and the quality of obtained distillate kept stable before concentration factor reached 5.0 with the acidified groundwater as feed. The membrane module efficiency began to decline gradually when the feed continued to be concentrated, which can be mainly attributed to the formation of CaF2 deposits on the membrane surface. Finally, a 300 h continuous fluoride removal experiment on acidified groundwater was carried out with concentration factor at 4.0, the permeate flux kept stable and the permeate fluoride was not detected.

Abstract
The direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) applied for desalination of brackish groundwater with self-made polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes was presented in the paper. The PVDF membrane exhibited high rejection of non-volatile inorganic salt solutes and a maximum permeate flux 24.5 kg m(-2) h(-1) was obtained with feed temperature at 70 degrees C. The DCMD experimental results indicated that the feed concentration had no significant influence on the permeate flux and the rejection of solute. When natural groundwater was used directly as the feed, the precipitation of CaCO(3) would be formed and clog the hollow fibre inlets with gradual concentration of the feed, which resulted in a rapid decline of the module efficiency. The negative influence of scaling could be eliminated by acidification of the feed. Finally, a 250 h DCMD continuous desalination experiment of acidified groundwater with the concentration factor at constant 4.0 was carried out. The permeate flux kept stable and the permeate conductivity was less than 7.0 microS cm(-1) during this process. Furthermore, there was no deposit observed on the membrane surface. All of these demonstrated that DCMD could be efficiently used for production of high-quality potable water from brackish groundwater with water recovery as high as 75%.

Abstract
A new 111Indium labeled bleomycin complex (111In-BLMC) was prepared and found to be effective for tumor imaging and therapy both in mouse glioma and human small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells. Chromosome aberrations were studied in human SCLC cells to explore its mechanisms of killing cancer cells. SCLC cells (N417) were exposed to 111In-BLMC, BLM, or 111InCl3 (for control) for 1 hour, treated with colcemid, and chromosomal changes were analyzed. A dramatic increase in chromatic gaps, breaks, chromosome breaks, double minutes, rings, triradii, quadriradii, and chromosome stickiness were observed in the cells treated by 111In-BLMC compared to BLM or 111InCl3. These results indicated that 111In-BLMC has therapeutic potential for combination chemo-radiotherapy of cancer (e.g., by Auger electrons and local energy deposition).

Abstract
The distribution of 111In-bleomycin Complex (111In-BLMC) in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells was studied by autoradiography. SCLC cells were exposed to 111In-BLMC and 111Indium chloride (111InCl3) for 1 hour, 3 hours, and 4 hours; washed with fresh medium; and spread on slides. The slides were smeared with NTB2 (NTB3) emulsion by wet or dry-mount technique and exposed 3 to 15 days. 111In-BLMC was found to localize in the cell nucleus and nuclear membrane (78.3%); 111InCl3 located mainly in the cytoplasm (52.3%). This distribution of labeled BLM may explain the mechanism of killing SCLC cells by 111In-BLMC.

Abstract
The problem of determining RBE values for Auger emitters incorporated into proliferating mammalian cells is examined. In general, the reference radiation plays a key role in obtaining experimental RBE values. Using survival of cultured Chinese hamster V79 cells as the experimental model, new data are provided regarding selection of a reference radiation for internal Auger emitters. These data show that gamma rays delivered acutely (137Cs) are more than twice as lethal as gamma rays delivered chronically with an exponentially decreasing dose rate (99mTc). The results confirm that the reference radiation should be delivered chronically in a manner consistent with the extended exposure received by the cells in the case of incorporated radionuclides. Through a direct comparison of the radiotoxicity of Auger emitters and alpha emitters, the high RBE values reported for DNA-bound Auger emitters are confirmed. These studies reveal that the DNA binding compound [125I]iododeoxyuridine (125IdU) is about 1.6 times more effective in killing V79 cells than 5.3 MeV alpha particles from intracellularly localized 210Po-citrate. In addition, toxicity studies with the radiochemicals 125IdU and [125]-iododeoxycytidine (125IdC) establish the equivalence of the radiosensitivity of thymine and cytosine base sites in the DNA. In view of these results, and information already available, the question of establishing quality factors for Auger emitters is considered. Finally, a method for calculation of the dose equivalent for internal Auger emitters is advanced.

Abstract
Indium-111-bleomycin complex (111In-BLMC) is a radiopharmaceutical agent that produces tumor regression in mouse glioma in vivo and kills human small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells in vitro. The interaction between hyperthermia and 111In-BLMC against human SCLC (N417) cells was studied for bleomycin (BLM) (15 micrograms/ml) or 111In-BLMC (40-50 microCi carried by 15 micrograms BLM/ml) for 5 min or 1.5, 2, or 4 hr at 37 degrees C or 43 degrees C exposures. Cell survival was determined by colony formation in soft agarose. There was a synergistic effect for 111In-BLMC and hyperthermia for cell killing. At 37 degrees C, the percent survival of N417 cells for BLM alone was 25.9%, and for 111In-BLMC it was 13.2%; at 43 degrees C, survival was 5.3% for BLM alone and 1.2% for 111In-BLMC by a 4 hr treatment. Effectiveness was greater when 111In-BLMC was combined with hyperthermia.

Abstract
The efficacy of killing small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells at the G1, S, and G2-M phase of the cell-cycle by a new 111In-bleomycin complex (111In-BLMC) was investigated. SCLC cells (N417, H526, H209) were synchronized by double thymidine block and assessed by DNA content with flow cytometry, and the period for the maximal accumulation of cells in S, G1, or G2-M phase was determined. Cells in different cell cycle phases were exposed to 0.9% NaCl, BLM, or 111In-BLMC for 1 hour and observed for colony formation. The survival of H526 cells treated with 111In-BLMC was 71% (for enriched S phase), 46% (G1), and 31% (G2-M). For N417 cells, it was 25% (S), 20% (G1), and 8% (G2-M) for 111In-BLMC and 18% (S), 33% (G1), and 10% (G2-M) for BLM. These results indicated that SCLC cells in G2-M were most sensitive and those in S phase were least sensitive to 111In-BLMC; cells in G1 phase were the least sensitive to BLM.

Abstract
The ability of a [111In]bleomycin complex [( 111In]BLMC) to kill five cell lines of human lung cancer (small cell lung cancer) was investigated. Cells were exposed to either 0.9% NaCl, [111In]Cl3, BLM, [111In]BLMC, nonradioactive InCl3, or In-BLMC for 60 minutes, plated in soft agarose, and assessed for colony formation. [111In]BLMC (40-200 microCi carried by 15-25 micrograms BLM/ml) was more cytotoxic than BLM (15-25 micrograms BLM/ml) by a factor of 1.6-5.3 for five cell lines. The percent survival of N417 cells was 28.4 for [111In]BLMC (40 microCi/15 micrograms BLM/ml) and 54.3 for BLM (15 micrograms/ml); 1.9 for [111In]BLMC (200 microCi/25 micrograms BLM/ml), and 10.0 for BLM (25 micrograms/ml). 111InCl3 (200 microCi/ml) and nonradioactive InCl3 failed to inhibit colony formation. The new [111In]BLMC may be useful for therapy of some lung cancer patients.

Abstract
Six days after tumor transplantation three daily intraperitoneal doses of 0.9% NaCl, bleomycin (BLM), or a new 111In-bleomycin complex (BLMC, 15 microCi/g body weight) were administered to glioma-bearing mice. After therapy, tumors in mice treated with 111In-BLMC were smaller than those treated with BLM. Sixteen days after the first injection tumor size for 111In-BLMC-treated mice was 560 (240-1,030) mm3, 1,980 (1,400-3,290) mm3 for BLM (P less than 0.025), and 4,830 (2,580-9,180) mm3 for NaCl (0.1 less than P less than 0.2). Thirteen days after tumor transplantation glioma-bearing mice received single intratumor injection of 0.9% NaCl, BLM, or 111In-BLMC (1.5 mCi, carried by 0.5 mg BLM/g tumor weight). The average tumor size for 111In-BLMC was smaller than that for BLM by a factor of 2.5-3.7. Host weights for these two groups were similar, and morphologic abnormalities were not found in kidney or liver.

Abstract
Mice bearing transplanted glioma received 0.9% NaCl, 0.1 mg of BLM, or 200-250 microCi of 111In-BLM (0.1 mg BLM) daily for 5 days intraperitoneally. After therapy, tumor sizes were in the order NaCl greater than BLM greater than 111In-BLM. On the 11th day after the first injection, tumor size (mm3) in the 111In-BLM group was 1,220; in the BLM group, it was 2,310 (P less than .025). After intratumor injection of a total dose of 0.1 mg of BLM/gm tumor weight, or of 1 mCi/gm tumor weight of 111In-BLM (carried by 0.1 mg of BLM/gm tumor weight), the tumor size decreased in the 111In-BLM group more than in the BLM group. On the 5th day after the 2nd dose therapy, the tumor size in the 111In-BLM group was 2,020; in the BLM group it was 4,220 (P less than .05). Host weights for these two groups were similar. The necrotic area in the tumor was much greater in the 111In-BLM group than in the BLM group. These results suggest the use for radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Abstract
We have found a new 111In-bleomycin complex (BLMC), which has high affinity to tumor, does not bind to transferrin and is stable in vivo. Distribution in animals bearing glioma, hepatoma, or mammary adenocarcinoma at 48 hours showed: the ratios of tumor to blood, brain, heart, lung, liver, pancreas, stomach, and femur were 1.4-22.4 times as high for 111In-BLMC as for 67Ga-citrate. In mammary adenocarcinoma, 111In-BLMC bound more to viable and 57Co-Bleomycin (BLM) more to necrotic tumor. In viable tumor, the concentration of 111In-BLMC was similar to that of 57Co-BLM. The ratios of tumor to stomach and pancreas were higher, to blood, brain, muscle, heart, and femur were lower for 111In-BLMC than those for 57Co-BLM. The ratios of tumor to lung, liver, spleen, skin, and kidney were similar for the two compounds. Tumors were imaged more distinctly with the new 111In-BLMC and 57Co-BLM than with 67Ga-citrate. 111In-BLMC is promising for tumor imaging.

Abstract
A new 111In-bleomycin complex (111In-BLMC) is here reported. Its radiochemical purity was 99% by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) (Rf 0.65) and in 5% agarose gel electrophoresis in 0.02 M NaHCO3 it migrated toward the anode. Autoradiographs of TLC and gel electrophoresis plates showed no change on storage for 3 weeks. Urine and plasma from untreated or glioma-bearing mice after injection of 111In-BLMC were analyzed by TLC and gel electrophoresis. Results indicated stability in vivo, nonbinding to transferrin, affinity to viable tumor, and excretion faster than 111In-BLM-B2, 111In-BLM, or 57Co-BLM. Tissue distributions 24 hr after injection of radiopharmaceutical showed activity ratios of tumor to blood, muscle, and brain of 13.1, 12.4, and 81.6, respectively, which were significantly higher than those for previously prepared 111In-BLM-B2 or 111In-BLM (except for brain, 0.05 less than P less than 0.1). The new 111In-BLM complex may be useful in clinical imaging and for combining radionuclide radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Abstract
The tissue distributions in glioma-bearing mice given injections of [111In]bleomycin (BLM) indicated that tumor concentrations and ratios of tumor to blood, muscle and brain for [111In]BLM-B2 and -A2 were higher than those for unfractionated [111In]BLM. Autoradiographs of electrophoretic gels of urine containing [111In]BLM or one of its fractions differed from those containing 111InCl3. [111In]BLM and its fractions (A2 and B2) were found to be stable in vivo. The fractions may be more useful in the clinic than [111In]BLM.

Abstract
111Indium-bleomycin (111In-BLM) and 57Co-bleomycin (57Co-BLM) were prepared and their distributions were compared in the tissues, blood, and urine in tumor-bearing and in untreated mice and rats. Autoradiographs of electrophoresis gels showed that patterns for urine from untreated and tumor-bearing animals, collected 1-3 h or 48 h after injection of 111In-BLM were similar to those for in vitro mixtures of urine and 111In-BLM, but differed from the patterns obtained with 111InCl3 under in vivo or in vitro conditions. In rats bearing mammary adenocarcinoma, 48 h after administration of the radiopharmaceutical, the activity ratio of tumor to eleven different tissues was 1.2-4.6 times higher for injected 111In-BLM than for 111InCl3 (P less than or equal to 0.001 or P less than or equal to 0.05). Imaging with a gamma camera depicted tumors in mice more distinctly with 111In-BLM than with 111InCl3. These findings were interpreted as reflecting the stability of 111In-BLM in vivo. The tumor concentration (%dose/g) was higher for the viable area than for the necrotic area for 111In-BLM, but the reverse was true for 57Co-BLM.
