Abstract
Tumor-associated macrophages are major contributors to malignant progression and resistance to immunotherapy, but the mechanisms governing their differentiation from immature myeloid precursors remain incompletely understood. In this study, we demonstrate that exosomes secreted by human and mouse tumor-educated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) drive accelerated breast cancer progression by inducing differentiation of monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells into highly immunosuppressive M2-polarized macrophages at tumor beds. Mechanistically, MSC-derived exosomes but not exosomes from tumor cells contain TGF-β, C1q, and semaphorins, which promote myeloid tolerogenic activity by driving PD-L1 overexpression in both immature myelomonocytic precursors and committed CD206+ macrophages and by inducing differentiation of MHC class II+ macrophages with enhanced l-Arginase activity and IL-10 secretion at tumor beds. Accordingly, administration of tumor-associated murine MSC-derived exosomes accelerates tumor growth by dampening antitumor immunity, and macrophage depletion eliminates exosome-dependent differences in malignant progression. Our results unveil a new role for MSC-derived exosomes in the differentiation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells into macrophages, which governs malignant growth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are known to impact on tumour behaviour, but the mechanisms controlling this are poorly understood. METHODS Breast normal fibroblasts (NFs) or CAFs were isolated from cancers by laser microdissection or were cultured. Fibroblasts were transfected to manipulate miR-222 or Lamin B receptor (LBR). The fibroblast-conditioned medium was collected and used to treat epithelial BC lines MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-157. Migration, invasion, proliferation or senescence was assessed using transwell, MTT or X-gal assays, respectively. RESULTS MiR-222 was upregulated in CAFs as compared with NFs. Ectopic miR-222 expression in NFs induced CAF-like expression profiles, while miR-222 knockdown in CAFs inhibited CAF phenotypes. LBR was identified as a direct miR-222 target, and was functionally relevant since LBR knockdown phenocopied miR-222 overexpression and LBR overexpression phenocopied miR-222 knockdown. MiR-222 overexpression, or LBR knockdown, was sufficient to induce NFs to show the CAF characteristics of enhanced migration, invasion and senescence, and furthermore, the conditioned medium from these fibroblasts induced increased BC cell migration and invasion. The reverse manipulations in CAFs inhibited these behaviours in fibroblasts, and inhibited paracrine influences on BC cells. CONCLUSION MiR-222/LBR have key roles in controlling pro-progression influences of CAFs in BC. This pathway may present therapeutic opportunities to inhibit CAF-induced cancer progression.

Abstract
Splenic plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) possess the capability to harbor live replicative Plasmodium parasite. Isolated splenic pDC from infected mice causes malaria when transferred to naïve mice. Incomplete autophagic degradation might cause poor antigen processing and poor immune response. Induction of autophagic flux by rapamycin treatment led to better prognosis by boosting pDC centered immune response against the pathogen. Splenic pDC from rapamycin-treated infected mice, caused less parasitemia in naïve mice. The downregulation of adhesion with unaltered phagocytic potential of the cells post autophagic induction restricted excessive parasite burden within them. Rapamycin-treated pDC played a better role in antigen presentation. They showed higher expression of co-stimulatory molecules CD80, CD86, DEC205, MHCI. Rapamycin-treated pDC induced CD28 expression on CD8+ T cells and suppressed FasL level. This cells also influenced differentiation of effector, memory T cell population. The increase in IL10: TNFα ratio, Treg: Th17 ratio and lowering of myeloid DC: plasmacytoid DC ratio was observed. It shifted the overaggressive inflammation mediated Th1 pathway that is reported to incur host damage, to a better well-balanced cytokine profile exhibiting Th2 pathway. Autophagic flux induction within pDC proved to be beneficial in combating malarial pathogenicity.

Abstract
Abstract
Breast cancer metastasis is known to be extensively promoted by immunosuppression. Here we describe a novel mechanism by which mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived exosomes drive an immunosuppressive program within the breast tumor microenvironment. Initial q-PCR and immunophenotyping of human breast tumor samples, and TCGA data analysis confirmed a positive correlation between infiltrations of MSC and M2 macrophage phenotype, therefore we hypothesized that MSC promote M2 macrophage differentiation in breast tumors. We then performed a series of experiments in vitro and in vivo, and found that MSC-derived exosomes significantly promote differentiation of macrophages into PD-L1 expressing ‘M2-like’ phenotype, while also enhancing malignant progression of breast tumors, in vivo. Additionally, we observed increased invasive potential of tumor cells with higher expression of mesenchymal markers when induced with MSC-derived exosomes. Importantly, our observation of a significantly higher TGF-β production by tumor associated macrophages in exosome-induced tumors, with stronger PD-1 expression by intra-tumoral T cells, suggests TGF-β driven PD-1 upregulation. Blocking of PD-L1 abrogates exosome-induced tumor growth signifying the PD-L1/PD-1 checkpoint pathway is vital to MSC-induced tumor progression. Together, infiltration of MSCs within breast tumors drives the increased invasive potential as well as immune-checkpoint-mediated immunosuppression through inducing PD-L1 expression by tumor associated macrophages and PD-1 expression by T cells. Targeting infiltration of MSCs into the breast tumor therefore is a potential approach to reduce breast tumor metastases and improve efficacy of immunotherapies.

Abstract
We report the zero-field and longitudinal field muon spin relaxation studies in a spin-chain compound Sm2BaNiO5. Two magnetic transitions, that have not been previously detected by the heat capacity and magnetization measurements, are confirmed at 46 and 9 K. The antiferromagnetic order is suggested at 46 K. Analysis of the muon spin polarization unveils the spin-glass transition at 9 K. Time-field scaling relation of the muon spin polarization verifies the spin-spin autocorrelation function following the cut-off power law, which is approximated by the Ogielski form, as employed numerically for characterizing the spin-glasses.

Abstract
The newly discovered noncentrosymmetric superconductor ThCoC_{2} exhibits numerous types of unconventional behavior in the field dependent heat capacity data. Here we present the first measurement of the gap symmetry of ThCoC_{2} by muon spin rotation and relaxation (μSR) measurements. The temperature dependence of the magnetic penetration depth measured using the transverse field μSR experiment reveals the evidence of a nodal pairing symmetry. To understand this finding, we carry out calculations of the superconducting pairing eigenvalue and eigenfunction (pairing symmetry) due to the spin-fluctuation mechanism by directly implementing the ab initio band structures. We find that the system possesses a single Fermi surface with considerable three dimensionality and a strong nesting along the k_{z} direction. Such nesting promotes a superconducting state with a cosk_{z}-like pairing symmetry with a prominent nodal line on the k_{z}=±π/2 plane. The result agrees well with the experimental data.

Abstract
Splenic red pulp macrophages play a critical role infiltration of infected RBC and elimination of pathogens during malarial infection. However, the efficiency of pathogenic processing and the intricate pathway followed by them to boost the downstream immune response has not been studied in details. We checked the status of autophagic regulation within the cells both before and after the infection and also modulated the autophagic flux with either its inducer or inhibitor. We found that the upregulation of autophagic gene and the corresponding pathway is correlated with better parasite clearance and survivability, with an enhanced downstream immune response. It also increases their phagocytic potential with better Lysosomal associated protein I and II synthesis. The autophagolysosome formation increases as well, and more vacuole bound LC3B protein are detected. Chemokine synthesized from Red Pulp macrophage helps in mediating the induction for recruiting neutrophil and CD4 + T cells to the splenic red pulp region. The skewing of M1 macrophage polarity is observed post autophagic induction with a better costimulatory molecule like CD80, CD86 expression and antigen presenting molecule MHC I, MHC II is observed. This study shows the possibility of an alternative or adjuvant therapy regimen for the malarial patient by inducing the autophagic pathway that targets the red pulp macrophages. This might be helpful for better pathogen degradation and processing. The subsequent clearance of parasite will result in a better outcome for the patients.

Abstract
The assessment of cucurbituril (CBn) for selective removal of actinides from nuclear waste streams requires comprehensive understanding of binding parameters and coordination of these complexes. The present work is the first experimental report on complexation of actinide ion with Cucurbit[5]uril (CB5) in solution. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔG, ΔH and ΔS) for complexation of CB5 with U(VI) in formic acid water medium were determined using microcalorimetry and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The enthalpy and entropy of complexation revealed the partial binding of U(VI) to CB5 portal. The partial binding was confirmed by spectroscopic techniques viz. extended X absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS), 1H and 13C NMR. The EXAFS χ(r) versus r spectra for U-CB5 complex has been fitted from 1.4 to 3.5 Å with two oxygen shells and a carbon shell. The presence of three carbon atom in secondary shell shows the involvement of only three carbonyl oxygens directly bonding to U(VI) which is in contrast to that calculated from gas phase DFT calculation of unhydrated system. The combined effect of hydration and formic acid encapsulation led to the enhanced stability of partially bound U(VI) to CB5. In the present work the binding of formic acid has also been studied by fluorescence spectroscopy. ESI-MS data shows the unusual stabilization of U(VI) by CB5 in gas phase.

Abstract
Lethal metastasis of primary breast tumors to lymph nodes has been found to be associated with the co-expression of chemokine CXCL13 and its receptor CXCR5. To date, however, the precise molecular events regulating the co-expression of CXCL13 and CXCR5 in the context of breast cancer progression have not been identified. Therefore, to extend our understanding of the drivers of breast cancer metastasis, we undertook a line of investigation in this study in which we demonstrate that the transcriptional regulation of CXCL13 is mediated by the reciprocal activity of RelA and Nrf2, while CXCR5 is transcriptionally silenced by CpG island methylation within its promoter. Critically, we show that intra-tumoral CXCL13 and CXCR5 mRNA expression is positively correlated with intra-tumoral RelA expression within the primary tumor of breast cancer (BCa) patients (n = 98). We demonstrate a role for Nrf2 in the negative transcriptional regulation of cxcl13. Furthermore, using a luciferase assay and deletion analysis of the cxcl13 gene promoter, we demonstrate that RelA and Nrf2 directly act upon the cxcl13 promoter to regulate transcription. Chromatin immunoprecipitation PCR, supported by in silico docking analyses, confirmed that RelA and Nrf2 both occupy multiple positions within the cxcl13 promoter. Collectively, in RelA high conditions, low Nrf2 and lack of cxcr5 promoter DNA-methylation govern CXCL13-CXCR5 co-expression within breast tumors, and thus drive disease progression and metastasis.

Abstract
The magnetic structure of the ternary equiatomic intermetallic compound PrCuSi is investigated using neutron powder diffraction experiments in 0 T as well as in external magnetic fields up to 2 T. The PrCuSi compound crystallizes in the hexagonal Ni2In-type structure, in the space group P63/mmc. In this structure, cationic ordering of Cu and Si takes place. The antiferromagnetic phase transition in the Pr sublattice takes place at [Formula: see text] K in 0 T. Under an external magnetic field of 2 T, a field-induced ferromagnetic phase is observed. Magnetoelastic coupling is evidenced by an increase in the unit cell volume. Clear signatures of a mixed antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic phase in weak, intermediate fields, 0.4-0.8 T, are obtained from the present study. Using the present set of experimental data, we construct the H - T phase diagram of PrCuSi.

These are the first examples of paramagnetic dirhenium complexes containing nitrobenzoate ligands. The spectral (UV-vis, IR, and EPR) and electrochemical properties of the complexes are described. The identity of 4 has been established by single-crystal X-ray structure determination (Re-Re distance of 2.2967(4) Å). The electronic structures of the complexes were scrutinized by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. X-band EPR spectral measurements along with the DFT analysis show that the unpaired electron resides in the metal-metal δ* antibonding orbital. The complexes were also screened in vitro for their antiproliferative properties against the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 by the MTT assay. Flow cytometry analysis showed that the complexes arrested the sub-G0/G1 phase.

Abstract
Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV), a globally important pathogen, belongs to the family Flaviviridae, is transmitted between vertebrate hosts by mosquitoes, principally by Culex tritaeniorhynchus. The E-glycoprotein of the virus mediates its attachment to the host cell receptors. In this study, we cloned and purified JEV E-glycoprotein in pET28a vector using E. coli BL21 (DE3) cells. A pull down assay was performed using plasma membrane fraction of BALB/c mouse brain and E-glycoprotein as a bait protein. 2-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis based separation of the interacting proteins was analyzed by mass spectrometry. Among all the identified partners of E-glycoprotein, PLVAP (Plasmalemma vesicle associated protein) and GKN3 (Gastrokine3) showed significant up-regulation in both JEV infected mouse brain and neuro2a cells. In-silico studies also predicted significant interaction of these receptors with E-glycoprotein. Additionally, overexperssion and silencing of these receptors resulted in increase and reduction in viral load respectively, suggesting them as two critical cellular receptors governing JEV entry and propagation in neurons. In support, we observed significant expression of PLVAP but not GKN3 in post-mortem autopsied human brain tissue. Our results establish two novel receptor proteins in neurons in case of JEV infection, thus providing potential targets for antiviral research.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is an irreversible, progressive and lethal lung disease. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) and Th17 cells both are involved in lung fibrosis. But there are only few reports regarding the effect of Treg on other T cell subsets in experimental lung fibrosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of Treg on Th17, CD4+CD28-T, CD4+CD28+T and CD8 + T cell subsets that could drive lung fibrosis. To reach the goal of our study, first we depleted Tregs by anti-CD25 mAb injection in experimental C57BL/6 mice model. It has been demonstrated in our study that depletion of Treg ameliorates bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis by immune modulating Th17 and other important T cell subsets response in lung. Our flow cytometry data revealed that the percentages of Th17, CD4+CD28-T, CD4+CD28+T and CD8 + T cell subsets were decreased in experimental lung fibrosis after Treg depletion. We also observed significant downregulation of IL-17 A in Treg-depleted mice after bleomycin delivery. In addition, the study also suggested that Treg depletion led to considerable upregulation of IFN-γ after bleomycin administration. Therefore, Th17 cells, CD8 + T cells, CD4+CD28- and CD4+CD28+ T cell subsets all are controlled by regulatory T cell, help in progression of fibrosis in experimental lung fibrosis.

Abstract
1-Methyl-4-Phenyl-1,2,3,6-Tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) -induced neuroinflammation and its impact in hippocampus remain elusive till date. Our present study includes the time dependent changes of inflammatory molecules in mouse hippocampus during MPTP treatment. MPTP treatment increased level of TNF-α, enhanced expression of TNFR2 along with PI3 kinase (PI3K) induced phosphorylation of Akt resulting in persistent nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation. The expressions gradually increased from Day1 post-MPTP treatment, maximally at Day3 post-treatment. MPTP induced translocation of p65 and p52, two subunits of NF-κB family, to nucleus where they had been found to dimerize. Therefore, MPTP induced TNF-α signaling through TNFR2 mediated pathway and recruited p65-p52 dimer in hippocampal nucleus which is reported to have protective effect on hippocampal neurons indicated by unchanged neuronal count in hippocampus in treated groups with respect to control. Our finding suggests that this unique NF-κB dimer plays some role in providing inherent protection to hippocampus during MPTP-treatment.

Abstract
Two hundred turkey breeder hens and 24 viable toms of 30-35 weeks age of small white variety were distributed into two treatment groups having four replicates of 25 hens and three toms in each treatment. First four replicates were offered a turkey breeder diet (Diet A) (Nutrient requirements of poultry, 1994, National Academic Press, Washington, DC) and the rest four replicates were maintained on a higher plane of nutrition (Diet B) for 8-week duration. After 6 weeks of experimental feeding, two replicates from each treatment groups were vaccinated with ND (R2 B) vaccine. Yolk sac of embryo from birds fed Diet B had a significantly higher (p < .05) IgG, IgM level and HI titre (log 2) than those fed Diet A. HI titre values of embryonic yolk sac from the vaccinated birds fed Diet B were significantly higher (p < .05) than that of the control groups. In addition, HI titre values were significantly higher (p < .05) in the day-old poults of the birds fed Diet B than that of those fed Diet A. There was significantly (p < .01) positive correlation between serum IgG and IgM of the breeder birds and day-old chicks. Similarly, there was significantly (p < .05) positive correlation between yolk IgG and IgM after 1-month experimental feeding and yolk sac IgG and IgM. Positive correlation (p < .05) also existed between yolk sac IgM and day-old chick serum IgM. Furthermore, the HI titres of breeder birds' serum at 14 days post-vaccination were positively correlated with their egg yolk after 10 and 15 days post-vaccination, yolk sac and day-old chicks. Thus, the study envisaged that a higher immunity in neonate poults from turkey breeders maintained on a higher plane of nutrition may be elicited as there was maternal transfer of antibodies from the serum of breeder birds to their offsprings through their yolk sac.
