        Autologous cervical tumor lysate pulsed dendritic cell stimulation followed by cisplatin treatment abrogates FOXP3+ cells in vitro

        Objective: Dendritic cells (DCs) are administered as immunotherapeutic adjuvants after the completion of standard treatment in most settings. However, our Phase I trial indicated that one patient out of four, who received autologous tumor lysate-pulsed dendritic cell (TLDC) also received cisplatin chemotherapy and experienced complete regression of her lung lesion, continuing to be disease free till date. Hence, the objective of our current study is to evaluate the sustenance or augmentation of immune responses when autologous human papillomavirus positive cervical tumor lysate pulsed DC- are combined with cisplatin, using co-culture assays in vitro. Methods: Before treatment, peripheral blood and punch biopsy samples were collected from 23 cervical cancer patients after obtaining an informed consent. DC functionality was confirmed through phenotypic and functional assays using autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells as responders. For cisplatin experiments, the drug was added at 150, 200 (clinical dose equivalent), and 400 µM concentrations to DCs alone or DC-T cell co- cultures. Phenotypic assessment and functional characterization of DCs was done using flow cytometry. Cytokine enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and interferon (IFN)-γ enzyme- linked immune absorbent spot assays were also performed. Results: The functionality of TLDCs was not compromised upon cisplatin treatment in vitro even at the highest (400 μM) concentration. Even though cisplatin treatment reduced the secretion of IFN-γ and interleukin (IL)-12p40 in co-cultures stimulated with TLDCs, this effect was not significant (p>0.05). A doubling of IFN-γ secretion following cisplatin treatment was observed in at least one of three independent experiments. Additional experiments showed a reduction in both FOXP3+ regulatory T cells and IL-10 levels. Conclusion: Our results provide evidence that cisplatin treatment may be given after autologous TLDC administration to maintain or improve a productive anti-tumor response in vaccinated patients.

        Green-synthesized silver nanoparticles using Psychotria nilgiriensis: toxicity against the dengue vector Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) and impact on the predatory efficiency of the non-target organism Poecilia sphenops (Cyprinodontiformes: Poeciliid

        Mosquitoes transmit serious diseases to humans and animals, causingmillions of deaths every year. Effective insecticides of natural origin for eco-friendly vector control are a priority. In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) biosynthesized using as cheap Psychotria nilgiriensis leaf extractwere tested on larvae and pupae of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae). Biophysical characterizationwas carried outwith UV–vis spectrophotometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Larvae were exposed to varying concentrations of aqueous extract of synthesized AgNPs for 24 h. The maximum mortality was observed for green-synthesized AgNPs. Moreover, the combined treatment of leaf extract of P. nilgiriensis and AgNPs lowered the plant extract LC50 to 92.87, 115.27, 140.37, 169.30 and 212.55 μg/ml. The effectiveness of green synthesized AgNPs was confirmed against eggs and adults of A. aegypti. Furthermore, we showed that the predatory efficiency of Poecilia sphenops on A. aegypti was not reduced after the exposure at sublethal doses of AgNPs. Predation in the control was 65% (larva I) and 49.62% (larva II). Predation against late-instar larvae was minimal. In AgNPs-treated environment (3 ppm), predation was boosted to 90.25% (larva I) and 76.50% (larva II), respectively. Overall, P. nilgiriensis-synthesized AgNPs could be proposed at ultra-low doses to reduce larval population of dengue vectors enhancing predation rates of P. sphenops.
