Abstract The crystal structures of the title compound, C 27 H 26 ClN 3 O 2 , were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and synchrotron radiation X-ray powder diffraction. The simulated annealing approach and rigid-body Rietveld refinement were applied to the structure solution from powder data. Direct methods and full-matrix least-squares techniques were used to solve and refine the crystal structure from single-crystal data. The title compound crystallized in space group P $\bar{1}$ with lattice parameters a=17.396(7) Å, b= 10.010(4) Å, c=6.833(3) Å, α=77.345(12) °, β= 93.534(6) °, γ=97.210(9) °, unit-cell volume V= 1151.0(2) Å 3 , Z=2 from powder data, and in space group P $\bar{1}$ with lattice parameters α=82.485(2) °, β= 86.5110(10) °, γ=77.518(2) °, a=6.8159(6) Å, b= 10.0003(9) Å, c=17.4140(15) Å, unit-cell volume V =1148.3(2) Å 3 , Z=2 from single-crystal data. No detectable impurities were observed.
Background & AimsHelicobacter pylori infection in humans typically begins with colonization of the gastric antrum. The initial Th1 response occasionally coincides with an increase in gastrin secretion. Subsequently, the gastritis segues to chronic atrophic gastritis, metaplasia, dysplasia and distal gastric cancer. Despite these well characterized clinical events, the link between inflammatory cytokines and non-cardia gastric cancer remains difficult to study in mouse models. Prior studies have demonstrated that overexpression of the Hedgehog (HH) effector GLI2 induces loss of gastrin (atrophy) and antral hyperplasia. To determine the link between specific cytokines, HH signaling and pre-neoplastic changes in the gastric antrum.MethodsMouse lines were created to conditionally direct IL1β or IFN-γ to the antrum using the Gastrin-CreERT2 and Tet activator. Primary cilia, which transduces HH signaling, on G cells were disrupted by deleting the ciliary motor protein KIF3a. Phenotypic changes were assessed by histology and western blots. A subclone of GLUTag enteroendocrine cells selected for gastrin expression and the presence of primary cilia was treated with recombinant SHH, IL1β or IFN-γ with or without kif3a siRNA.ResultsIFN-γ increased gastrin and induced antral hyperplasia. However, antral expression of IL1β suppressed tissue and serum gastrin, while also inducing antral hyperplasia. IFN-γ treatment of GLUTAg cells suppressed GLI2 and induced gastrin, without affecting cilia length. By contrast, IL1β treatment doubled primary cilia length, induced GLI2 and suppressed gastrin gene expression. Knocking down kif3a in GLUTAg cells mitigated SHH or IL1β suppression of gastrin.ConclusionsOverexpression of IL1β in the antrum was sufficient to induce antral hyperplasia coincident with suppression of gastrin via primary cilia.

Flack factor is 0.02(19), and the largest peak and deepest hole on the final difference Fourier map are 0.556 and -0.265 e/angstrom(3), respectively. The X-ray diffraction shows the existence of intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O (DA) hydrogen bonds between adjacent molecules.
Abstract This work develops a site‐specific duplexed luminescence resonance energy transfer system on cell surface for simultaneous imaging of two kinds of monosaccharides on a specific protein by single near‐infrared excitation. The single excitation‐duplexed imaging system utilizes aptamer modified upconversion luminescent nanoparticles as an energy donor to target the protein, and two fluorescent dye acceptors to tag two kinds of cell surface monosaccharides by a dual metabolic labeling technique. Upon excitation at 980 nm, only the dyes linked to protein‐specific glycans can be lit up by the donor by two parallel energy transfer processes, for in situ duplexed imaging of glycoforms on specific protein. Using MUC1 as the model, this strategy can visualize distinct glycoforms of MUC1 on various cell types and quantitatively track terminal monosaccharide pattern. This approach provides a versatile platform for profiling protein‐specific glycoforms, thus contributing to the study of the regulation mechanisms of protein functions by glycosylation.
