Toxicity and Dermatokinetic Analysis of Ibrutinib in Human Skin Models.

Ibrutinib (IBR) is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor under investigation in preclinical and clinical settings as an alternative treatment for melanoma. Nevertheless, the limited oral bioavailability of IBR and the need for high doses of the drug to kill melanoma cells are major drawbacks for this purpose. Considering that melanoma is restricted to the skin at early stages, the topical application of IBR might constitute an effective and safer administration route.

Immunomodulatory effect of IFN-γ licensed adipose-mesenchymal stromal cells in an in vitro model of inflammation generated by SARS-CoV-2 antigens.

In recent years, clinical studies have shown positive results of the application of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) in severe cases of COVID-19. However, the mechanisms of immunomodulation of IFN-γ licensed MSCs in SARS-CoV-2 infection are only partially understood. In this study, we first tested the effect of IFN-γ licensing in the MSC immunomodulatory profile.

Characterization of ibrutinib's effects on the morphology, proliferation, phenotype, viability, and anti-inflammatory potential of adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells.

Ibrutinib (IB) is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that has immunomodulatory action and can be used as second-line therapy for steroid-refractory or steroid-resistant chronic Graft versus Host Disease (cGVHD). Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are distributed throughout the body and their infusion has also been explored as a second-line therapeutic alternative for the treatment of cGVHD. Considering the currently unknown effects of IB on endogenous MSCs, as well as the possible combined use of IB and MSCs for cGVHD, we investigated whether adipose tissue-derived MSCs present IB-targets, as well as the consequences of treating MSCs with this drug, regarding cell viability, proliferation, phenotype, and anti-inflammatory potential.

Extracellular vesicles derived from bovine adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells enhance in vitro embryo production from lesioned ovaries.

Background And Aims: Ovum pick-up (OPU) is an intrinsic step of in vitro fertilization procedures. Nevertheless, it can cause ovarian lesions and compromise female fertility in bovines. Recently, we have shown that intraovarian injection of adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (AD-MSCs) effectively preserves ovarian function in bovines.

Ibrutinib Modulates Proliferation, Migration, Mitochondrial Homeostasis, and Apoptosis in Melanoma Cells.

Ibrutinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor with a broad spectrum of action, has been successfully explored to treat hematological and solid cancers. Herein, we investigated the anti-cancer effect of Ibrutinib on melanoma cell lines. Cytotoxicity was evaluated using the MTT assay.

Ibrutinib topical delivery for melanoma treatment: The effect of nanostructured lipid carriers' composition on the controlled drug skin deposition.

Melanoma is responsible for more than 80% of deaths related to skin diseases. Ibrutinib (IBR), a Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has been proposed to treat this type of tumor. However, its low solubility, extensive first-pass effect, and severe adverse reactions with systemic administration affect therapeutic success.

Differential peripheral blood mononuclear cell reactivity against SARS-CoV-2 proteins in naïve and previously infected subjects following COVID-19 vaccination.

The decline in vaccine efficacy and the risk of reinfection by SARS-CoV-2 make new studies important to better characterize the immune response against the virus and its components. Here, we investigated the pattern of activation of T-cells and the expression of inflammatory factors by PBMCs obtained from naïve and previously infected subjects following COVID-19 vaccination, after PBMCs stimulation with S1, RBD, and N-RBD SARS-CoV-2 proteins. PBMCs showed low levels of and transcripts, which were not modulated by the exposure of these cells to SARS-CoV-2 proteins.
