Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) is a promising electrode material for supercapacitors (SCs) because its large specific surface area and anionic tunability. Herein, an ultrathin ternary NixCo(2)Al layer double hydroxides nanosheet (NixCo2Al-LDHs) grown on carbon cloth (CC) substrate by hydrothermal synthesis method is reported as a high efficiency battery-type electrode in alkaline medium. The influence of Ni on the electrochemical properties and morphology of ternary metal hydroxide is first studied. By adjusting the molar concentration of nickel, we determine that Ni1Co2Al-LDHs@CC has the best electrochemical performance. The Ni(1)Co(2)AlLDHs@CC has a high specific capacity of 1772.5 mC cm(-2) at a current density of 1 mA cm(-2) and it maintains outstanding capacitive retention of 93.3% after 12,000 cycles. In addition, the obtained Ni1Co2Al-LDHs@CC//AC asymmetric supercapacitors (ASC) achieves a maximum energy density of 0.102 mWh cm(-2) at power density of 0.75 mW cm(-2) and keep the capacitance retention of 90.98% after 12,000 cycles to successfully light LEDs (8 mm). Detailed electrochemical kinetic analysis showed that the total capacitance of Ni1Co2Al-LDHs@CC electrode come from its effective capacitive storage mechanism. It is founded that Ni has influence on the morphology and electrochemistry of ternary metal hydroxide, which provided an effective design idea and method for improving the capacitance of ternary metal hydroxide.

BackgroundThe prognosis of colon cancer is poor for metastasis, while the mechanism, especially adipocytes related, is not yet clear. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4), a transporter for lipids, on colon cancer progression.MethodsThe distribution of lipids and FABP4 was tested in the colon cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues, and their relationship was also verified in vitro. Experiments about cellular invasion, migration and proliferation were performed to detect the impacts of FABP4 on the biological behaviors of colon cancer, and the positive results were checked in vivo. Meanwhile, the regulatory role of FABP4 in the energy and lipid metabolism was evaluated by the levels of triglyceride, ATP, LDH, glycerol and NEFA. At last, GO and KEGG analysis based on FABP4 overexpressed cells was performed, and the AKT pathway and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins were determined by Western blot.ResultsHigher accumulation of lipids and stronger FABP4 transcription were observed in colon cancer tissues. Having been incubated with adipose tissue extract and overexpressed FABP4, colon cancer cells demonstrated enhanced lipid accumulation. In functional experiments, co-culture with adipose tissue extract significantly enhanced the invasion and migration of colon cancer cells, as well as the energy and lipid metabolism, and all these processes were reversed by FABP4 inhibitor. In addition, the metastasis of FABP4-overexpressed colon cancer cells was also significantly enhanced in vitro and in vivo. In terms of mechanism, the bioinformatics analysis showed that FABP4 was enriched in 11 pathways related to metabolic processes in FABP4 overexpressed cells. Finally, FABP4 overexpression improved EMT progression of colon cancer, as evidenced by the upregulation of Snail, MMP-2 and MMP-9, the downregulation of E-cadherin. The expression of p-Akt was also elevated.ConclusionFABP4 overexpression could increase FAs transport to enhance energy and lipid metabolism, and activate AKT pathway and EMT to promote the migration and invasion of colon cancer cells.
