The synthesis, characterization, and in vitro activity of a cyclohexane-1 R,2 R-diamine-based Pt(IV) derivative containing the histone deacetylase inhibitor rac-2-(2-propynyl)octanoato, namely, ( OC-6-44)-acetatodichlorido(cyclohexane-1 R,2 R-diamine)( rac-2-(2-propynyl)octanoato)platinum(IV), are reported together with those of its isomers containing enantiomerically enriched axial ligands. These Pt(IV) complexes showed comparable activity, of 2 orders of magnitude higher than reference drug oxaliplatin on three human (HCT 116, SW480, and HT-29) and one mouse (CT26) colon cancer cell lines. In vivo experiments were carried out on immunocompetent BALB/c mice bearing the same syngeneic tumor. The complex ( OC-6-44)-acetatodichlorido(cyclohexane-1 R,2 R-diamine)( rac-2-(2-propynyl)octanoato)platinum(IV) showed higher tumor mass Pt accumulation than oxaliplatin, due to its higher lipophilicity, with negligible nephro- and hepatotoxicities when administered intravenously. A remarkable tumor mass invasion by cytotoxic CD8 T lymphocytes, following the Pt(IV) treatment, indicated a strong induction of immunogenic cell death.

Background: Hypertension is a leading risk factor for the development of Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementia (AD/ADRD), which is closely linked with cerebral vascular inflammation and dysfunction. We previously found that high-salt-treated Dahl Salt-Sensitive (SS) rats displayed blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage, astrocyte activation, neurodegeneration, and cognitive impairments. CD14 functions in the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) complex to initiate proinflammatory signaling events in response to LPS.

Introduction: Vaccine platforms such as viral vectors and mRNA can accelerate vaccine development in response to newly emerging pathogens, as demonstrated during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the differential effects of platform and antigen insert on vaccine immunogenicity remain incompletely understood. Innate immune responses induced by viral vector vaccines are suggested to have an adjuvant effect for subsequent adaptive immunity.

The deregulation of immune responses is what causes food allergy (FA) to occur. FA's cause is still unknown. The goal of this study is to investigate the mechanism how the impaired production of IL-10 occurs in peripheral naive B cells of patients with FA.

Background/aim: Preclinical studies were undertaken to investigate whether eribulin's known cytotoxic antimitotic effects are characterized by immunogenic cell death (ICD) as assessed by three established ICD biomarkers: extracellular released ATP, released HMGB1 and cell surface calreticulin.
Materials And Methods: Using BT-549, Hs578T and MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines, antiproliferative IC's of eribulin, five other microtubule targeting agents (MTAs; ER-076349, vinblastine, vinorelbine, paclitaxel, docetaxel) and three DNA damaging agents (DDAs; doxorubicin, cisplatin, oxaliplatin) were determined.
Results: Treatment of cells with 10×IC concentrations of all drugs in serum-free media resulted in time-dependent induction of cytotoxicity over DMSO controls.

Tolerance to foreign molecules is primarily induced through three pathways: anergy, active suppression, and clonal deletion. The immaturity of gut functions, including digestion and barrier protection against foreign molecules during early infancy, is closely linked to the induction of tolerance. A significant number of undigested peptides can pass through leaky gut walls during this period, making it an opportune time to introduce active suppression and clonal deletion in the intestine.
