    Abstract Stress-related neuropathologies are pivotal in developing major depressive disorder (MDD) and are often governed by gene-regulatory changes. Being a stress-responsive gene-regulatory factor, microRNAs (miRNAs) have tremendous biomolecular potential to define an altered gene-regulatory landscape in the MDD brain. MiRNAs' regulatory roles in the MDD brain are closely aligned with changes in plasticity, neurogenesis, and stress-axis functions. MiRNAs act at the epigenetic interface between stress-induced environmental stimuli and cellular pathologies by triggering large-scale gene expression changes in a highly coordinated fashion. The parallel changes in peripheral circulation may provide an excellent opportunity for miRNA to devise more effective treatment strategies and help explore their potential as biomarkers in treatment response. This review discusses the role of miRNAs as epigenetic modifiers in the etiopathogenesis of MDD. Concurrently, key research is highlighted to show the progress in using miRNAs as predictive biomarkers for treatment response.

    Abstract Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is a progressive, debilitating muscle disease commonly encountered in patients over the age of 50. IBM typically presents with asymmetric, painless, progressive weakness and atrophy of deep finger flexors and/or quadriceps muscle. Many patients with IBM develop dysphagia. However, atypical presentations of IBM with isolated dysphagia, asymptomatic hyper-CKemia, foot drop, proximal weakness, axial weakness, and facial diplegia have been reported. Other acquired and some inherited disorders may present similar to IBM, and this list gets more expansive when considering atypical presentations. In general, disease progression of IBM leads to loss of hand function and impaired ambulation, and most IBM patients become wheelchair dependent within 13-15 years of disease onset. Hence, IBM impacts negatively patients' quality of life and reduces longevity compared to the general population. Acknowledging the complete clinical spectrum of IBM presentation and excluding mimics would shorten the time to diagnosis, lead to prompt initiation of supportive management and avoid unproven therapy. Ongoing advanced phase studies in IBM provide hope that a therapy may soon be available. Therefore, an added potential benefit of early diagnosis would be prompt initiation of disease-modifying therapy once available.

    Abstract Background: Lipids play key roles in numerous biological processes, including energy storage, cell membrane structure, signaling, immune responses, and homeostasis, making lipidomics a vital branch of metabolomics that analyzes and characterizes a wide range of lipid classes. Addressing the complex etiology, age-related risk, progression, inflammation, and research overlap in conditions like Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Cardiovascular Diseases, and Cancer poses significant challenges in the quest for effective therapeutic targets, improved diagnostic markers, and advanced treatments. Mass spectrometry is an indispensable tool in clinical lipidomics, delivering quantitative and structural lipid data, and its integration with technologies like Liquid Chromatography (LC), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and few emerging Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization- Imaging Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-IMS) along with its incorporation into Tissue Microarray (TMA) represents current advances. These innovations enhance lipidomics assessment, bolster accuracy, and offer insights into lipid subcellular localization, dynamics, and functional roles in disease contexts.
    Aim of the review: The review article summarizes recent advancements in lipidomic methodologies from 2019 to 2023 for diagnosing major neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, serious non-communicable cardiovascular diseases and cancer, emphasizing the role of lipid level variations, and highlighting the potential of lipidomics data integration with genomics and proteomics to improve disease understanding and innovative prognostic, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
    Key scientific concepts of review: Clinical lipidomic studies are a promising approach to track and analyze lipid profiles, revealing their crucial roles in various diseases. This lipid-focused research provides insights into disease mechanisms, biomarker identification, and potential therapeutic targets, advancing our understanding and management of conditions such as Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Cardiovascular Diseases, and specific cancers.

    Abstract Cancer associated morbidity is mostly attributed to the dissemination of tumor cells from their primary niche into the circulation known as "metastasis". Mycobacterium indicus pranii (MIP) an approved immunotherapeutic agent against lung cancer (NSCLC) has shown potent anti-tumor activity in prior studies. While evaluating anti-tumor activity of MIP in mouse model, MIP treated animals typically exhibited less metastatic lesions in their pulmonary compartment. To study the role of MIP in metastasis closely, B16F10 melanoma cells were implanted subcutaneously in the mice, and the dissemination of tumor cells from the solid tumor was evaluated over a period of time. When B16F10 melanoma cells were treated with MIP in vitro, downregulation of epithelial mesenchymal transition markers was observed in these cells, which in turn suppressed the invasion, migration and adhesion of tumor cells. Notably, MIP therapy was found to be effectively reducing the metastatic burden in murine model of melanoma. Molecular characterization of MIP treated tumor cells substantiated that MIP upregulates the PPARγ expression within the tumor cells, which attenuates the NFκB/p65 levels within the nucleus, resulting in the suppression of Mmp9 expression in tumor cells. Besides that, MIP also downregulated the surface expression of chemokine receptor CXCR4 in murine melanoma cells, where chromatin immunoprecipitation confirmed the impeded recruitment of p50 and c-Rel factors to the Cxcr4 promoter, resulting in its downregulation transcriptionally. Taken together, MIP suppressed the dissemination of tumor cells in vivo, by regulating the expression of MMP9 and CXCR4 on these cells.

    Abstract Targeting immunotherapeutics inside the tumor microenvironment (TME) with intact biological activity remains a pressing issue. Mycobacterium indicus pranii (MIP), an approved adjuvant therapy for leprosy has exhibited promising results in clinical trials of lung (NSCLC) and bladder cancer. Whole MIP as well as its cell wall fraction have shown tumor growth suppression and enhanced survival in mice model of melanoma, when administered peritumorally. Clinically, peritumoral delivery remains a procedural limitation. In this study, a tumor targeted delivery system was designed, where chitosan nanoparticles loaded with MIP adjuvants, when administered intravenously showed preferential accumulation within the TME, exploiting the principle of enhanced permeability and retention effect. Bio-distribution studies revealed their highest concentration inside the tumor after 6 h of administration. Interestingly, MIP adjuvant nano-formulations significantly reduced the tumor volume in the treated groups and increased the frequency of activated immune cells inside the TME. For chemoimmunotherapeutics studies, MIP nano-formulation was combined with standard dosage regimen of Paclitaxel. Combined therapy exhibited a further reduction in tumor volume relative to either of the MIP nano formulations. From this study a three-pronged strategy emerged as the underlying mechanism; chitosan and Paclitaxel have shown direct role in tumor cell death and the MIP nano-formulation activates the tumor residing immune cells which ultimately leads to the reduced tumor growth.
