    Abstract Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is a transmembrane glycoprotein which is involved in cell signaling, proliferation, maturation, and movement, all of which are crucial for the proper development of cells and tissues. Cleavage of the EpCAM protein leads to the up-regulation of c-myc, e-fabp, and cyclins A and E which promote tumorigenesis.

    Abstract Currently, dengue fever and human cervical cancer are two of the most dangerous diseases around the world. Dengue fever is caused by four serotypes of dengue virus (DENV)- 1, 2, 3 and 4 and most of the human cervical cancer cases are found to be caused by human papillomavirus type-16 (HPV-16). In this study, potential epitope-based subunit vaccines were designed using numerous tools of reverse vaccinology, targeting the DENV-1 envelope protein E and HPV-16 major capsid protein L1. Reverse vaccinology is a genome-based approach of vaccine designing, identifying potential antigenic epitopes of a pathogen. After obtaining the target protein sequences, their antigenicity and physicochemical properties were determined. Thereafter, the possible T cell and B cell epitopes were predicted and after analyzing their antigenicity, allergenicity, toxicity, and conservancy, as well as docking results (docked with MHC class-I and class-II alleles), the best epitopes were selected for vaccine construction. Thereafter, two best vaccine constructs (one for each of the virus) were selected for further analysis based on analyzing the docking results (docked with various MHC alleles and TLR molecules) of the initially constructed six vaccines. The molecular dynamics simulation of the two selected docked complexes with the two best vaccines showed quite satisfactory results. Finally, after codon adaptation, the vaccine constructs were inserted into the pET-19b plasmid vector for E. coli strain K12 using an in silico cloning approach. However, more in vitro and in vivo studies might be required on the suggested vaccines for their proper validation.

    Abstract Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a form of pancreatic cancer with poor prognosis and rising incidence. Difficulties in the early detection and aggressive biological nature of this disease are responsible for most of the therapeutic failures. In this study, publicly available microarray expression data of full RNA from the peripheral blood of PDAC patients has been utilized via a network-based approach in order to identify potential non-invasive biomarkers and drug targets for early diagnosis and treatment of PDAC. Analysis of differentially expressed genes revealed their predominant involvement in the translational process, apoptotic process, protein phosphorylation, immune response, ATP binding, protein binding, and signal transduction. Moreover, CREBBP, MAPK14, MAPK1, SMAD3, UBC, MAGOH, HSP90AB1, RPL23A, ACTB and STAT3 were identified as the best proteome signatures, GATA2, FOXC1, PPARG, E2F1, HINFP, USF2, MEF2A, FOXL1, YY1 and NFIC were identified as the best transcriptional regulatory signatures, and hsa-miR-93, hsa-miR-16, hsa-miR-195, hsa-miR-424, hsa-miR-506, hsa-miR-124, hsa-miR-590-3p, hsa-miR-1, hsa-miR-497 and hsa-miR-9 were identified as the best post-transcriptional regulatory signatures in PDAC patients. Analysis of drug-gene interactions revealed Anisomycin, Azactidine, Arsenic trioxide, Bortezomib, Ulixertinib, and some other molecules as probable candidate molecules which may reverse the PDAC condition.

    Abstract Ebola virus is a highly pathogenic RNA virus that causes the Ebola haemorrhagic fever in human. This virus is considered as one of the dangerous viruses in the world with very high mortality rate. To date, no epitope-based subunit vaccine has yet been discovered to fight against Ebola although the outbreaks of this deadly virus took many lives in the past. In this study, approaches of reverse vaccinology were utilized in combination with different tools of immunoinformatics to design subunit vaccines against Ebola virus strain Mayinga-76. Three potential antigenic proteins of this virus i.e., matrix protein VP40, envelope glycoprotein and nucleoprotein were selected to construct the subunit vaccine. The MHC class-I, MHC class-II and B-cell epitopes were determined initially and after some robust analysis i.e., antigenicity, allergenicity, toxicity, conservancy and molecular docking study, EV-1, EV-2 and EV-3 were constructed as three potential vaccine constructs. These vaccine constructs are also expected to be effective on few other strains of Ebola virus since the highly conserved epitopes were used for vaccine construction. Thereafter, molecular docking study was conducted on these vaccines and EV-1 emerged as the best vaccine construct. Afterward, molecular dynamics simulation study revealed the good performances and stability of the intended vaccine protein. Finally, codon adaptation and in silico cloning were carried out to design a possible plasmid (pET-19b plasmid vector was used) for large scale production of the EV-1 vaccine. However, further in vitro and in vivo studies might be required on the predicted vaccines for final validation.

    Abstract Currently available screening instruments for evaluation of individuals with intellectual disabilities do not capture all the complications associated with Down Syndrome (DS). Here, we examined age and gender-specific variability revolving around major challenges related to ophthalmologic and auditory health, social integration, daily life, and behavioral problems in 468 (age: 2-84 years) individuals with DS living in all eight divisions of Bangladesh. More than half of the children presented with significant difficulty in walking or other targeted movements compared with 37.9% of adolescents (

    Abstract As the number of infections and deaths caused by the recent COVID-19 pandemic is increasing dramatically day-by-day, scientists are rushing towards developing possible countermeasures to fight the deadly virus, SARS-CoV-2. Although many efforts have already been put forward for developing potential vaccines; however, most of them are proved to possess negative consequences. Therefore, in this study, immunoinformatics methods were exploited to design a novel epitope-based subunit vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2, targeting four essential proteins of the virus i.e., spike glycoprotein, nucleocapsid phosphoprotein, membrane glycoprotein, and envelope protein. The highly antigenic, non-allergenic, non-toxic, non-human homolog, and 100% conserved (across other isolates from different regions of the world) epitopes were used for constructing the vaccine. In total, fourteen CTL epitopes and eighteen HTL epitopes were used to construct the vaccine. Thereafter, several
