30. In situ preparation of cubic Cu2O-RGO nanocomposites for enhanced visible-light degradation of methyl orange.

Author

Abstract

There has been a growing interest in gathering together photocatalysis of semiconductors, like cuprous oxide (Cu2O), and the excellent electron transmittability of graphene to produce a graphene-based semiconductor for photocatalytic degradation. In this paper, a mild one-pot in situ synthesis of cubic cuprous oxide-reduced graphene oxide (Cu2O-RGO) nanocomposites has been proposed for the removal of methyl orange. In contrast to pure cubic Cu2O particles under similar preparation conditions, the cubic Cu2O-RGO nanocomposites demonstrate enhanced visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity for methyl orange dye with a 100% degradation rate in 100 min. The enhanced photocatalytic performance is mainly attributed to the increased charge transportation, effective separation of photoelectrons from vacancies, and the improved contact area.

Abstract

Although defensins are known to inhibit the replication of human influenza A virus (IAV) in vitro, their in vivo expression during IAV infection is not known. Here we investigated mRNA and protein expression of several beta-defensins in the airways of IAV infected mice. Expression of murine beta-defensin (MBD)-3 and -4 was enhanced (3 to 5-fold, p<0.01) in infected lungs, trachea and sinonasal mucosa. MBD-3 and -4 expressions were correlated with the time course of acute IAV infection suggesting their induction by IAV infection. Infected mice also showed increased levels of surfactant protein-D especially in the sinonasal mucosa. MBD-3 and -4 were localized to the conducting airway epithelial cells but not the alveolar tissue. We conclude that IAV infection upregulated the expression of inducible beta-defensins in both the upper and lower airways. These novel findings suggest that beta-defensins might contribute to innate and adaptive immune responses targeted against IAV infection.
