Small molecules that induce nonapoptotic cell death are of fundamental mechanistic interest and may be useful to treat certain cancers. Here we report that tegavivint, a drug candidate undergoing human clinical trials, can activate a unique mechanism of nonapoptotic cell death in sarcomas and other cancer cells. This lethal mechanism is distinct from ferroptosis, necroptosis and pyroptosis and requires the lipid metabolic enzyme trans-2,3-enoyl-CoA reductase (TECR). TECR is canonically involved in the synthesis of very-long-chain fatty acids but appears to promote nonapoptotic cell death in response to CIL56 and tegavivint via the synthesis of the saturated long-chain fatty acid palmitate. These findings outline a lipid-dependent nonapoptotic cell death mechanism that can be induced by a drug candidate currently being tested in humans.

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is a pernicious disease characterized by an immunosuppressive milieu that is unresponsive to current immunotherapies. Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) is a natural anti-inflammatory cytokine;however, its contribution to cancer pathogenesis and immunosuppression remains elusive. In this research, we investigated the role and mechanism of IL-1Ra in malignant progression of PDA. Results: Through analyzing clinical dataset and examining the pathological tumor tissues and serum samples, we have demonstrated that IL-1Ra expression is elevated in human PDA and positively associated with malignant progression of PDA. To study the biological function of IL-1Ra in tumors, we generated a set of mouse pancreatic cancer cell lines with a knockout (KO) of the Il1rn gene, encoding IL-1Ra, and compared the tumor growth rates in immune-competent and immune-deficient mice. We found that the Il1rn KO cells exhibited greater tumor inhibition in immune-competent mice, highlighting the crucial role of a functional immune system in Il1rn KO-mediated anti-tumor response. Consistently, we found an increase in CD8⁺ T cells and a decrease in CD11b⁺Ly6G⁻ immunosuppressive mononuclear population in the tumor microenvironment of Il1rn KO-derived tumors. To monitor the inhibitory effects of IL-1Ra on immune cells, we utilized a luciferase-based reporter CD4⁺ T cell line and splenocytes, which were derived from transgenic mice expressing ovalbumin-specific T cell receptors in CD8⁺ T cells, and mice immunized with ovalbumin. We showed that IL-1Ra suppressed T cell receptor signaling and inhibited antigen-specific interferon-γ (IFN-γ) secretion and cytolytic activity in splenocytes. Conclusions: Our findings illustrate the immunosuppressive properties of the natural anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-1Ra, and provide a rationale for considering IL-1Ra-targeted therapies in the treatment of

Coherent phonon (CP) generation in an undoped Si crystal is theoretically investigated to shed light on unexplored quantum-mechanical effects in the early-time region immediately after the irradiation of ultrashort laser pulse. One examines time signals attributed to an induced charge density of an ionic core, placing the focus on the effects of the Rabi frequency ωocvon the signals;this frequency corresponds to the peak electric-field of the pulse. It is found that at specific ωocv's where the energy of plasmon caused by photoexcited carriers coincides with the longitudinal-optical phonon energy, the energetically resonant interaction between these two modes leads to striking anticrossings, revealing irregular oscillations with anomalously enhanced amplitudes in the observed time signals. Also, the oscillatory pattern is subject to the Rabi flopping of the excited carrier density that is controlled by ωocv. These findings show that the early-time region is enriched with quantum-mechanical effects inherent in the CP generation, though experimental signals are more or less masked by the so-called coherent artifact due to nonlinear optical effects.

The concurrency of edges, quantified by the number of edges that share a common node at a given time point, may be an important determinant of epidemic processes in temporal networks. We propose theoretically tractable Markovian temporal network models in which each edge flips between the active and inactive states in continuous time. The different models have different amounts of concurrency while we can tune the models to share the same statistics of edge activation and deactivation (and hence the fraction of time for which each edge is active) and the structure of the aggregate (i.e., static) network. We analytically calculate the amount of concurrency of edges sharing a node for each model. We then numerically study effects of concurrency on epidemic spreading in the stochastic susceptible-infectious-susceptible and susceptible-infectious-recovered dynamics on the proposed temporal network models. We find that the concurrency enhances epidemic spreading near the epidemic threshold while this effect is small in many cases. Furthermore, when the infection rate is substantially larger than the epidemic threshold, the concurrency suppresses epidemic spreading in a majority of cases. In sum, our numerical simulations suggest that the impact of concurrency on enhancing epidemic spreading within our model is consistently present near the epidemic threshold but modest. The proposed temporal network models are expected to be useful for investigating effects of concurrency on various collective dynamics on networks including both infectious and other dynamics.

A coarse-grained spring network model is proposed for the prediction of the mechanical response of metallic glasses as a function of the microstructure prior to loading. This model describes the mechanical response of metallic glasses using a network of parallel springs that can break and reform, mimicking atomic rearrangements during deformation. We compare predictions of the spring network model for stress versus strain to results from numerical simulations of athermal quasistatic, uniaxial tensile deformation of Cu50Zr50 metallic glasses using Lennard-Jones (LJ) and embedded atom method (EAM) atomic interactions. We show that both the LJ and EAM models possess qualitatively similar stress σ versus strain γ curves. By specifying five parameters [ultimate strength, strain at ultimate strength, slopes of σ(γ) at γ=0 and at large strain, and strain at fracture where σ=0], we demonstrate that the spring network model can accurately describe the form of the stress-strain curves during uniaxial tension for the computational studies of Cu50Zr50, as well as recent experimental studies of several Zr-based metallic glasses.

In this review, we highlight recent developments in the application of machine learning for molecular modeling and simulation. After giving a brief overview of the foundations, components, and workflow of a typical supervised learning approach for chemical problems, we showcase areas and state-of-the-art examples of their deployment. In this context, we discuss how machine learning relates to, supports, and augments more traditional physics-based approaches in computational research. We conclude by outlining challenges and future research directions that need to be addressed in order to make machine learning a mainstream chemical engineering tool. Copyright © 2019, The Authors.

This review aims to draw attention to two issues of concern when we set out to make machine learning work in the chemical and materials domain, i.e., statistical loss function metrics for the validation and benchmarking of data-derived models, and the uncertainty quantification of predictions made by them. They are often overlooked or underappreciated topics as chemists typically only have limited training in statistics. Aside from helping to assess the quality, reliability, and applicability of a given model, these metrics are also key to comparing the performance of different models and thus for developing guidelines and best practices for the successful application of machine learning in chemistry.

We employed Periodic Density Functional Theory (DFT) to investigate the catalytic activity of single and double dopant of boron (B), nitrogen (N), and phosphorous (P) anchored on diamond surfaces for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) by analyzing reaction energy profiles. Our findings show that the double-doped catalyst exhibits lower energy barriers in CO2RR compared to the single dopants. Specifically, when considering BB and NN configurations, there is a thermodynamic preference towards the formation of formic acid (HCOOH) with overpotentials of 0.40 and 0.09 V, respectively. The co-doped catalyst comprising B and N (BN) demonstrates a tendency towards the formation of HCOOH without requiring any applied overpotentials. Notably, BN outperforms other catalysts, occupying the top position on the volcano plot, indicating the lowest limiting potential (UL), remarkable thermal stability, and the ability to suppress the competing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). This research provides valuable insights into the product differentiation in the electroreduction of CO2. © 2023, The Authors. All rights reserved.

Local and global measures of the shear moduli of jammed disk packings

Strain-controlled isotropic compression gives rise to jammed packings of repulsive, frictionless disks with either positive or negative global shear moduli. We carry out computational studies to understand the contributions of the negative shear moduli to the mechanical response of jammed disk packings. We first decompose the ensemble-averaged, global shear modulus as 〈G〉=(1−F−)〈G+〉+F−〈G−〉, where F− is the fraction of jammed packings with negative shear moduli and 〈G+〉 and 〈G−〉 are the average values from packings with positive and negative moduli, respectively. We show that 〈G+〉 and 〈|G−|〉 obey different power-law scaling relations above and below pN2∼1. For pN2>1, both 〈G+〉N and 〈|G−|〉N∼(pN2)β, where β∼0.5 for repulsive linear spring interactions. Despite this, 〈G〉N∼(pN2)β′ with β′≳0.5 due to the contributions from packings with negative shear moduli. We show further that the probability distribution of global shear moduli P(G) collapses at fixed pN2 and different values of p and N. We calculate analytically that P(G) is a Γ distribution in the pN2≪1 limit. As pN2 increases, the skewness of P(G) decreases and P(G) becomes a skew-normal distribution with negative skewness in the pN2≫1 limit. We also partition jammed disk packings into subsystems using Delaunay triangulation of the disk centers to calculate local shear moduli. We show that the local shear moduli defined from groups of adjacent triangles can be negative even when G>0. The spatial correlation function of local shear moduli C(r⃗) displays weak correlations for pnsub2<10−2, where nsub is the number of particles within each subsystem. However, C(r⃗) begins to develop long-ranged spatial correlations with fourfold angular symmetry for pnsub2≳10−2.

Dense packing of hydrophobic residues in the cores of globular proteins determines their stability. Recently, we have shown that protein cores possess packing fraction ϕ≈0.56, which is the same as dense, random packing of amino-acid-shaped particles. In this article, we compare the structural properties of protein cores and jammed packings of amino-acid-shaped particles in much greater depth by measuring their local and connected void regions. We find that the distributions of surface Voronoi cell volumes and local porosities obey similar statistics in both systems. We also measure the probability that accessible, connected void regions percolate as a function of the size of a spherical probe particle and show that both systems possess the same critical probe size. We measure the critical exponent τ that characterizes the size distribution of connected void clusters at the onset of percolation. We find that the cluster size statistics are similar for void percolation in packings of amino-acid-shaped particles and randomly placed spheres, but different from that for void percolation in jammed sphere packings. We propose that the connected void regions are a defining structural feature of proteins and can be used to differentiate experimentally observed proteins from decoy structures that are generated using computational protein design software. This work emphasizes that jammed packings of amino-acid-shaped particles can serve as structural and mechanical analogs of protein cores, and could therefore be useful in modeling the response of protein cores to cavity-expanding and -reducing mutations.
