Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 121:110490. [PMID: 37339567 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.110490] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Revised: 05/24/2023] [Accepted: 06/09/2023] [Indexed: 06/22/2023]
Abstract
Syringaldehyde (SD), a kind of flavonoid polyphenolic small molecule compound, has the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. But it is unknown whether SD has properties on the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by modulating dendritic cells (DCs). We explored the effect of SD on the maturation of DCs in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that SD significantly down-regulated the expression of CD86, CD40 and MHC II, decreased the secretion of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-12p40 and IL-23, and increased IL-10 secretion and antigen phagocytosis in vitro induced by lipopolysaccharides in a dose-dependent manner through reducing the activation of MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathways. SD also significantly inhibited the expression of CD86, CD40 and MHC II on DCs in vivo. Moreover, SD suppressed the expression of CCR7 and the in vivo migration of DCs. In arthritis mouse models induced by λ-carrageenan and complete Freund's adjuvant, SD significantly alleviated paw and joint oedema, reduced the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 and increased the level of IL-10 in serum. Interestingly, SD significantly decreased the numbers of type I helper T cells (Th1), Th2, Th17 and Th17/Th1-like (CD4+IFN-γ+IL-17A+), but increased the numbers of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in spleens of mice. Importantly, the numbers of CD11c+IL-23+ and CD11c+IL-6+ cells were negatively correlated with the numbers of Th17 and Th17/Th1-like. These results suggested that SD ameliorated mouse arthritis through inhibiting the differentiation of Th1, Th17 and Th17/Th1-like and promoting the generation of Tregs via regulation of DC maturation.

[PMID: 37007461 PMCID: PMC10063819 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1136664] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2023] [Indexed: 03/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) induced AIDS causes a large number of infections and deaths worldwide every year, still no vaccines are available to prevent infection. Recombinant herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) vector-based vaccines coding the target proteins of other pathogens have been widely used for disease control. Here, a recombinant virus with HIV-1 gp160 gene integration into the internal reverse (IR) region-deleted HSV-1 vector (HSV-BAC), was obtained by bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) technology, and its immunogenicity investigated in BALB/c mice. The result showed similar replication ability of the HSV-BAC-based recombinant virus and wild type. Furthermore, humoral and cellular immune response showed superiority of intraperitoneal (IP) administration, compared to intranasally (IN), subcutaneous (SC) and intramuscularly (IM), that evidenced by production of significant antibody and T cell responses. More importantly, in a prime-boost combination study murine model, the recombinant viruses prime followed by HIV-1 VLP boost induced stronger and broader immune responses than single virus or protein vaccination in a similar vaccination regimen. Antibody production was sufficient with huge potential for viral clearance, along with efficient T-cell activation, which were evaluated by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and flow cytometry (FC). Overall, these findings expose the value of combining different vaccine vectors and modalities to improve immunogenicity and breadth against different HIV-1 antigens.

Exploring the Bioactive Mycocompounds (Fungal Compounds) of Selected Medicinal Mushrooms and Their Potentials against HPV Infection and Associated Cancer in Humans. LIFE (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:life13010244. [PMID: 36676192 PMCID: PMC9861011 DOI: 10.3390/life13010244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Revised: 12/11/2022] [Accepted: 12/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
Medicinal mushrooms have been used as a medicinal tool for many centuries and, nowadays, are used in the prevention and therapy of various diseases, including as an adjunct to cancer treatment. It is estimated that 14-16% of global cancer cases are caused by infectious events; one well-known infectious agent that leads to cancer is the human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is responsible for more than 99.7% of cervical cancer cases and also may play a role in vaginal, vulvar, penile, anal, rectal, and oropharyngeal carcinogenesis. Coriolus versicolor, a basidiomycetes class mushroom, consists of glycoproteins called polysaccharide-K (PSK) and polysaccharopeptide (PSP), which are mainly responsible for its effectiveness in the fight against a variety of cancers. Its beneficial effect lies in its ability to arrest different phases of the cell cycle, immunomodulation or induction of apoptosis. Coriolus versicolor extractcan reduces BCL-2 expression or increases the expression of p53 tumour suppressor genes in breast tumour cell lines. Inhibition of proliferation was also demonstrated with HeLa cells, while cervical cytology abnormalities improved in patients who locally applied Coriolus versicolor-based vaginal gel. Coriolus versicolor extract itself, and also its combination with another medicinal mushroom, Ganoderma lucidum, leads to improved HPV clearance in HPV cervical or oral-positive patients. Medicinal mushrooms can also increase the effectiveness of vaccination. This review considers the use of medicinal mushrooms as a suitable adjunct to the treatment of many cancers or precanceroses, including those caused by the HPV virus.

Abstract
Primordium formation is extremely important for yield of Pleurotus tuoliensis. However, the molecular mechanism underlying primordium formation is largely unknown. This study investigated the transcriptional properties during primordium formation of P. tuoliensis by comparing transcriptome. Clean reads were assembled into 57,075 transcripts and 6874 unigenes. A total of 1397 differentially expressed genes were identified (26 DEGs altered in all stages). GO and KEGG enrichment analysis showed that these DEGs were involved in “oxidoreductase activity”, “glycolysis/gluconeogenesis”, “MAPK signaling pathways”, and “ribosomes”. Our results support further understanding of the transcriptional changes and molecular processes underlying primordium formation and differentiation of P. tuoliensis.

Abstract
Methods In this study, we developed a strategy for the prevention and therapy of melanoma using a whole-cell vaccine combined with a CpG/αOX40/cGAMP triple adjuvant. The CpG/αOX40/cGAMP triple adjuvant was used to co-culture melanoma cells in vitro to induce immunogenic death of tumor cells. The mixture of inactivated tumor cells and the triple drug was an optimized tumor whole-cell vaccine, which was injected subcutaneously into mice for tumor prevention and therapy. Furthermore, we analyzed the changes of immune cells in spleen and tumor by flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry, and detected the changes of cytokines after vaccine application by cytometric bead array to explore the specific mechanism of vaccine. Results In vaccine prevention and therapy experiments, it was observed that the tumor growth was significantly inhibited in the whole-cell vaccine group, and the survival time of mice was significantly prolonged. Flow cytometry results showed that the proportion of CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells in tumor of mice in vaccine group was higher than that in control group, especially the CD4+ T cells. Conclusion The optimized vaccine has the unique ability to amplify tumor-specific CD4+ T cells, which improves antitumor sensitivity, and has a significant effect on the prevention and therapy of melanoma mice.

In Vitro and In Vivo Dendritic Cell Immune Stimulation Effect of Low Molecular Weight Fucoidan from New Zealand Undaria pinnatifida. Mar Drugs 2022; 20:197.

Abstract
Low molecular weight fucoidan (LMWF) has been reported to have immunomodulation effects through the increase of the activation and function of macrophages. In this study, the regulating effect of LMWF from Undaria pinnatifida grown in New Zealand on dendritic cells (DCs) was investigated. We discovered that LMWF could stimulate DCs' maturation and migration, as well as CD4+ and CD8+ T cells' proliferation in vitro. We proved that this immune promoting activity is activated through TLR4 and its downstream MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways. Further in vivo (mouse model) investigation showed that LMWF has a strong immunological boosting effect, such as facilitating the proliferation of immune cells and increasing the index of immune organs. These findings suggest that LMWF has a positive immunomodulatory effect and is a promising candidate to supplement cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
DNA, a natural biological material, has become an ideal choice for biomedical applications, mainly owing to its good biocompatibility, ease of synthesis, modifiability, and especially programmability. In recent years, with the deepening of the understanding of the physical and chemical properties of DNA and the continuous advancement of DNA synthesis and modification technology, the biomedical applications based on DNA materials have been upgraded to version 2.0: through elaborate design and fabrication of smart-responsive DNA nanodevices, they can respond to external or internal physical or chemical stimuli so as to smartly perform certain specific functions. For tumor treatment, this advancement provides a new way to solve the problems of precise targeting, controllable release, and controllable elimination of drugs to a certain extent. Here, we review the progress of related fields over the past decade, and provide prospects for possible future development directions.

Abstract
Brassica rapa L. is one of the most popular traditional foods with a variety of biological activities. In this study, the petroleum ether extract of B. rapa was separated by silica gel column chromatography, and named BRPS, which was identified by LC-MS. The effects and pharmacological mechanisms of BRPS on the treatment of lung cancer were investigated both in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that BRPS significantly inhibited the proliferation of both human lung cancer A549 and mouse lung cancer LLC cells, while its toxicity to normal cells was lower than that of cancer cells. BRPS induced cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase and significantly reduced the levels of CDK1 and CyclinB1 in A549 cells. Moreover, BRPS induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner, and increased the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, while it decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, promoted the release of cytochrome c, activated caspase 9 and 3, and enhanced the degradation of PARP in A549 cells. Furthermore, the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were also upregulated by BRPS and ROS inhibitor reversed BRPS-induced apoptosis. Importantly, BRPS significantly suppressed the growth of LLC cells in vivo without any obvious side effect on body weight and organs of mice, and increased the proportion of B cells, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells and CD44+CD8+ T cells in the spleen. These results revealed that BRPS inhibited the growth of lung cancer cells through inducing cell cycle arrest, mitochondria-dependent apoptosis, and activating immunity of mice, and BRPS might be a potential anti-tumor functional food and promising agent for the treatment of lung cancer.

Abstract
Mushrooms provide a reliable source of bioactive compounds and have numerous nutritional values, which is one of the reasons why they are widely used for culinary purposes. They may also be a remedy for several medical conditions, including cancer diseases. Given the constantly increasing number of cancer incidents, the great anticancer potential of mushrooms has unsurprisingly become an object of interest to researchers. Therefore, this review aimed to collect and summarize all the available scientific data on the anti-cancer activity of mushroom extracts. Our research showed that mushroom extracts from 92 species, prepared using 12 different solvents, could reduce the viability of 38 various cancers. Additionally, we evaluated different experimental models: in vitro (cell model), in vivo (mice and rat model, case studies and randomized controlled trials), and in silico. Breast cancer proved to be sensitive to the highest number of mushroom extracts. The curative mechanisms of the studied mushrooms consisted in: inhibition of cancer cell proliferation, unregulated proportion of cells in cell cycle phases, induction of autophagy and phagocytosis, improved response of the immune system, and induction of apoptotic death of cells via upregulation of pro-apoptotic factors and downregulation of anti-apoptotic genes. The processes mainly involved the expression of caspases -3, -8, -9, AKT, p27, p53, BAX, and BCL2. The quoted results could lead to the classification of mushrooms as nutraceuticals used to prevent a variety of disorders or to support treatment of cancer diseases.

Abstract
Background To investigate the effect of topical application of CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG-ODN) combined with anti-4-1BB antibodies on mouse HCC multiple tumor-bearing models and the degree of improvement of anti-tumor immune response in mice. Materials and Methods We inoculated each BALB/c male mouse subcutaneously with one tumor in the axillae of the four limbs and divided them into four groups. We only selected the tumor-bearing part of the left lower limb for drug treatment. We measured the tumor-bearing volume of mice in each group. Then, we tested the organ coefficients of mice, the concentrations of IL-12 and IFN-γ in peripheral blood, the ratio of spleen Tregs and CD8+T cells, the spleen CTL killing activity, and the survival time of mice. Results We found that the tumor-bearing volume decreased significantly after the combination of CpG-ODN and anti-4-1BB antibody (P<0.001). The organ coefficients of treated mice were not significantly different from normal mice (P>0.05). The concentration of IL-12 and IFN-in serum and the ratio of CD8+T cells in spleen were increased, while the ratio of spleen Tregs was decreased. CTL activity of spleen was increased. The survival time of mice was significantly prolonged (P<0.001). Conclusion The treatment programme combining CpG-ODN with an anti-4-1BB antibody can significantly reduce tumor growth at the treatment site, slow the growth rate of metastases and improve host prognosis.

A self-designed CpG ODN enhanced the anti-melanoma effect of pimozide. Int Immunopharmacol 2020; 83:106397. [PMID: 32220805 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2020.106397] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2019] [Revised: 03/07/2020] [Accepted: 03/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Melanomas represent the deadliest form of skin cancers. Due to the intricacy of tumorigenesis, it is emergent to find effective therapies for melanomas. Researches have proved that pimozide inhibits the growth of melanoma, but the limited curing effect needs to be further improved. Nowadays, tumor immunotherapy has been widely recognized as the sole therapy that can eradicate cancers. Cytosine-phosphate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG ODN), TLR9 receptor agonist, can significantly enhance anti-tumor immune responses. This study explored the therapeutic effect of pimozide combined with CpG ODN on melanoma-bearing mice. The results showed that pimozide combined with CpG ODN effectively inhibited the growth of melanoma and prolonged the survival of melanoma-bearing mice, inhibited the expression of MMP2 and p-Stat5, increased the infiltration of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in tumor, raised the ratios of CD4+, CD8+ T cells and NK cells. These all indicated that the combination treatment improved the anti-tumor effect of pimozide on mice. The anti-tumor mechanism might be attributed to cell apoptosis induction, invasion inhibition, and immune regulation. A more effective combination treatment concerning with pimozide is being under investigation.

Abstract
Background The enhancement of immunity is very important for immunocompromised patients such as cancer patients with radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Glycyrrhiza uralensis has been used as food and medicine for a long history. G. uralensis polysaccharides (GUPS) were prepared and its immunostimulatory effects were investigated. Methods Human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) and murine bone marrow-derived DCs were treated with different concentrations of GUPS. The DCs maturation and cytokine production were analyzed by flow cytometry and ELISA, respectively. Inhibitors and Western blot were used to study the mechanism of GUPS. The immunostimulatory effects of GUPS were further evaluated by naïve mouse model and immunosuppressive mouse model induced by cyclophosphamide. Results GUPS significantly promoted the maturation and cytokine secretion of human monocyte-derived DCs and murine bone marrow-derived DCs through TLR4 and down-stream p38, JNK and NF-κB signaling pathways. Interestingly, the migration of GUPS treated-DCs to lymph node was increased. In the mouse model, GUPS increased IL-12 production in sera but not for TNF-α. Moreover, GUPS ameliorated the side effect of cyclophosphamide and improved the immunity of immunosuppressive mice induced by cyclophosphamide. These results suggested that GUPS might be used for cancer therapy to ameliorate the side effect of chemotherapy and enhance the immunity.

Front Microbiol 2019; 9:3274.

Abstract
Pleurotus tuoliensis is a valuable and rare edible fungus with extremely high nutritional and medicinal value. However, the relative immaturity of P. tuoliensis cultivation technology leads to fluctuating yields and quality. The main difficulty in P. tuoliensis cultivation is estimate of mycelial maturity. There is currently no measurable indicator that clearly characterizes the physiological maturation of mycelia. The aim of this study was to identify potential indicators of physiological maturation for P. tuoliensis mycelia by using metabolomics approach. A metabolite profiling strategy involving gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was used to analyze changes to extracellular metabolites in mycelia collected at mycelium physiological maturation period (MPMP) day 0, MPMP day 35 at 17°C and MPMP day 35 at 29°C. 72 differential metabolites (37.8% up-regulated and 62.2% down-regulated) were identified based on the selected criteria [variable important in projection (VIP) greater than 1.0 and p < 0.01]. Metabolic pathways enrichment analysis showed that these metabolites are involved in glycolysis, organic acid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA), sugar metabolism, nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism, and oxidative phosphorylation. In addition, the pyrimidine synthesis pathway was significantly activated during mycelium physiological maturation of P. tuoliensis. The abundance of N-carbamoyl-L-aspartate (CA-asp), a component of this pathway, was significantly increased at MPMP day 35, which motivated us to explore its potential as an indicator for physiological maturation of mycelia. The content of CA-asp in mycelia changed in a consistent manner during physiological maturation. The feasibility of using CA-asp as an indicator for mycelial maturation requires further investigation.

Abstract
We previously found that Pleurotus ferulae polysaccharides (PFPS) improved the maturation and function of dendritic cells (DCs). In this study, we investigated the effects of PFPS on the antitumor efficacy of therapeutic human papillomavirus (HPV) DC-based vaccine. PFPS stimulated DCs pulsed with HPV E6/E7 peptides were used to treat tumor mice on day 5 & 12 (HPV + PFPS-DCs early) and day 12 & 19 (HPV + PFPS-DCs late) after TC-1 cell injection. Compared to control group, both HPV + PFPS-DCs early and HPV + PFPS-DCs late strategies significantly inhibited tumor growth, which was significantly correlated with the increased activation status of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, the decreased frequencies of myeloid-derived suppressor cells, and the induction of HPV-specific CD8+ T cell responses. The survival of tumor mice was also greatly improved by HPV + PFPS-DCs early. Moreover, HPV + PFPS-DCs early completely inhibited the growth of second challenged TC-1 cells in tumor free mice. The results showed that PFPS improved the antitumor efficacy of therapeutic HPV DC-based vaccine, suggesting that PFPS might be a potential adjuvant for DC-based vaccines. This study provides a potential strategy for developing the therapeutic DC-based vaccine against cervical cancer.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the effect of λ-carrageenan on the maturation and function of dendritic cells (DCs) and its adjuvant effect on DC-based vaccine. We found that λ-carrageenan dose-dependently decreased the endocytosis of DCs, promoted DC maturation and increased cytokine production through TLR4 mediated signaling pathway. λ-carrageenan treatment also enhanced the ability of DCs in the stimulating allogenic splenocyte proliferation. In TC-1 tumor mouse model, HPV peptides pulsed λ-carrageenan-DC (HPV-CGN-DC) significantly inhibited tumor growth compared with control group. The frequencies of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in spleens of tumor mice and their activation status were significantly increased in HPV-CGN-DC group, but the frequencies of natural regulatory T cells and CD11b+Gr-1+ cells were significantly decreased. Further, HPV-CGN-DC induced strong CD8+ T cell responses, which are negatively correlated with tumor volumes. The results suggested that λ-carrageenan promoted DC maturation through TLR4 signaling pathway and could be used as the adjuvant in DC-based vaccines.

Abstract
Licorice has been used as herbal medicine and natural sweetener. Here, we prepared Glycyrrhiza uralensis water extract (GUWE) and investigated the effect of GUWE on the maturation and function of dendritic cells (DCs) and its adjuvant effect on DC-based vaccine. We observed that GUWE dose-dependently promoted DC maturation and cytokine secretion through TLR4 signaling pathway. The capacity of DC to stimulate allogenic splenocyte proliferation was also enhanced by GUWE treatment. Compared with control group, GUWE treated DCs pulsed with human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 E6/E7 peptides significantly inhibited the tumor growth in both early and late therapeutic groups. In early therapeutic group, the frequencies of induced regulatory T cells (iTregs: CD4+CD25−Fopx3+) and CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were significantly decreased and increased, respectively. HPV-16-specific CD8+ T cell responses were significantly induced and negatively correlated with iTreg frequencies and tumor weight. These results indicated the immunoregulatory activities of licorice.
