    Abstract SARS-CoV-2 easily infects human monocytes, macrophages and possibly dendritic cells (DCs), causing dysfunctions of these important antigen presenting cells (APCs). Observed DC dysfunctions facilitate improper antigen presentation, which obviously results T cell anergy, exhaustion and apoptosis, thus, may be contributing significantly in SARS-CoV-2 infection associated lymphopenia. Neem Leaf Glycoprotein or NLGP has enormous role in altered DC functions, thereby, offering optimum T cell mediated cytotoxicity, as experienced from cancer system. Such NLGP guided correction of altered DCs might also be effective to generate proper SARS-CoV-2-specific effector and central memory T cells.

    Abstract Inflammation is a part of carefully co-ordinated healing immune exercise to eliminate injurious stimuli. However, in substantial number of cancer types, it contributes in shaping up of robust tumor microenvironment (TME). Solid TME promotes infiltration of tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) that contributes to cancer promotion. TAMs are functionally heterogeneous and display an extraordinary degree of plasticity, which allow 'Switching' of macrophages into an 'M2', phenotype, linked with immunosuppression, advancement of tumor angiogenesis with metastatic consequences. In contrary to the classical M1 macrophages, these M2 TAMs are high-IL-10, TGF-β secreting-'anti-inflammatory'. In this review, we will discuss the modes of infiltration and switching of TAMs into M2 anti-inflammatory state in the TME to promote immunosuppression and inflammation-driven cancer.

    Abstract The loss of control of cell proliferation, apoptosis regulation and contact inhibition leads to tumor development. While benign tumors are restricted to their primary space, i.e. where these tumors first originate, the metastatic tumors not only disseminate- facilitated by hypoxia-driven neovascularization- to distant secondary sites but also show substantial changes in metabolism, tissue architectures, gene expression profiles and immune phenotypes. All these alterations result in radio-, chemo- and immune-resistance rendering these metastatic tumor cells refractory to therapy. Since the beginning of the transformation, these factors- which influence each other- are incorporated to the developing and metastasizing tumor. As a result, the complexities in the heterogeneity of tumor progressively increase. This space-time function in the heterogeneity of tumors is generated by various conditions and factors at the genetic as well as microenvironmental levels, for example, endogenous retroviruses, methylation and epigenetic dysregulation that may be etiology-specific, cancer associated inflammation, remodeling of the extracellular matrix and mesenchymal cell shifted functions. On the one hand, these factors may cause de-differentiation of the tumor cells leading to cancer stem cells that contribute to radio-, chemo- and immune-resistance and recurrence of tumors. On the other hand, they may also enhance the heterogeneity under specific microenvironment-driven proliferation. In this editorial, we intend to underline the importance of heterogeneity in cancer progress, its evaluation and its use in correlation with the tumor evolution in a specific patient as a field of research for achieving precise patient-tailored treatments and amelioration of diagnostic (monitoring) tools and prognostic capacity.

    Abstract In developing tumor, macrophages are one major immune infiltrate that not only contributes in shaping up of tumor microenvironment (TME) but also have the potential of determining the fate of tumor in terms of its progression. Phenotypic plasticity of macrophages primarily channelizes them to alternative (M2) form of tumor associated macrophages (TAM) in the TME. One of the key tumor derived components that plays a crucial role in TAM polarization from M1 to M2 form is lactic acid and has prominent role in progression of malignancy. The role of lactic acid as signalling molecule as well as an immunomodulator has recently been recognized. This review focuses on the mechanism and signalling that are involved in lactic acid induced M2 polarization and possible therapeutic strategies for regulating lactic acidosis in TME.

    Abstract Introduction: Murine tumor growth restriction by neem leaf glycoprotein (NLGP) was established in various transplanted models of murine sarcoma, melanoma and carcinoma. However, the role of NLGP in the sequential carcinogenic steps has not been explored. Thus, tongue carcinogenesis in Swiss mice was induced by 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (4NQO), which has close resemblance to human carcinogenesis process. Interventional role of NLGP in initiation-promotion protocol established during 4NQO mediated tongue carcinogenesis in relation to systemic immune alteration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is investigated.
    Methods: 4NQO was painted on tongue of Swiss mice every third day at a dose of 25µl of 5mg/ml stock solution. After five consecutive treatment with 4NQO (starting Day7), one group of mice was treated with NLGP (s.c., 25µg/mice/week), keeping a group as PBS control. Mice were sacrificed in different time-intervals to harvest tongues and studied using histology, immunohistochemistry, flow-cytometry and RT-PCR on different immune cells and EMT markers (e-cadherin, vimentin) to elucidate their phenotypic and secretory status.
    Results: Local administration of 4NQO for consecutive 300 days promotes significant alteration in tongue mucosa including erosion in papillae and migration of malignant epithelial cells to the underlying connective tissue stroma with the formation of cell nests (exophytic-hyperkeratosis with mild dysplasia). Therapeutic NLGP treatment delayed pre-neoplastic changes promoting normalization of mucosa by maintaining normal structure. Flow-cytometric evidences suggest that NLGP treatment upregulated CD8
    Discussion: Efficacy of NLGP was tested first time in sequential carcinogenesis model and proved effective in delaying the initial progression. NLGP normalizes type 1 immunity including activation of the CD8

    Abstract Targeting exhausted CD8+T cell (TEX) induced aggravated cancer stem cells (CSC) holds immense therapeutic potential. In this regard, immunomodulation via Neem Leaf Glycoprotein (NLGP), a plant-derived glycoprotein immunomodulator is explored. Since former reports have proven immune-dependent tumor restriction of NLGP across multiple tumor models, we hypothesized that NLGP might reprogram and rectify TEX to target CSCs successfully. Here we report that NLGP's therapeutic administration significantly reduced TEX -associated CSC virulence in in vivo B16-F10 melanoma tumor model. Similar trend was observed in in vitro generated TEX and B16-F10/MCF7 co-culture setups. NLGP rewired CSCs by downregulating clonogenicity, multidrug resistance phenotypes and PDL1, OCT4, SOX2 expression. Cell cycle analysis revealed that NLGP-educated TEX efficiently pushed CSCs out of quiescent-phase (G0G1) into synthesis-phase (S), supported by hyper-phosphorylation of G0G1-S transitory cyclins and Rb-proteins. This rendered quiescent CSCs susceptible to s-phase targeting chemotherapeutic drugs like 5-Fluorouracil (5FU). Consequently combinatorial treatment of NLGP and 5FU brought optimal CSC targeting efficiency with increase in apoptotic bodies and pro-apoptotic BID expression. Notably a strong nephron-protective effect of NLGP was also observed, which prevented 5FU associated toxicity. Furthermore, Dectin-1 mediated NLGP uptake and subsequent alteration of Notch1 and mTOR axis was deciphered as the involved signalling network. This observation unveiled Dectin-1 as a potent immunotherapeutic drug-target to counter T cell exhaustion. Cumulatively, NLGP immunotherapy alleviated exhausted CD8+T cell induced CSC aggravation. Implications: Our study recommends that NLGP-immunotherapy can be utilized to counter ramifications of T cell exhaustion and to target therapy elusive aggressive CSCs without evoking toxicity.

    Abstract The inherent duality of selenium can be the stepping stone to generate selenium based front line chemotherapeutic drug against ever evolving disease landscape of cancer. Not only as a therapeutic agent, but also in supportive care this essential micronutrient may be a good supplement to balance redox homeostasis and boost up patients immunity. Many in vitro, in vivo and clinical studies have generated a lot of useful information about anticancer properties of this trace element, which can be used as backbone in these aspects. The knowledge about speciation, distribution and compartmentalization of selenium metabolites, their pharmacokinetics, regulation of selenogenome and selenoproteome function, genomic variants and epigenetic effects are to be integrated to achieve the novel target. Advancement of bioinformatics and new technologies can be very much helpful in this regard.

    Abstract Introduction: Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) is a heterogeneous lymphoproliferative malignancy with B cell origin. Combinatorial treatment of rituximab, cyclophsphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin, oncovin, prednisone (R-CHOP) is the standard treatment regimen for NHL, yielding a complete remission (CR) rate of 40-50%. Unfortunately, considerable patients undergo relapse after CR or initial treatment, resulting in poor clinical implications. Patient's response to chemotherapy varies widely from static disease to cancer recurrence and later is primarily associated with the development of multi-drug resistance (MDR). The immunosuppressive cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME) have become a crucial target for improving the therapy efficacy. However, a better understanding of their involvement is needed for distinctive response of NHL patients after receiving chemotherapy to design more effective front-line treatment algorithms based on reliable predictive biomarkers.
    Methods: Peripheral blood from 61 CD20
    Results: We observed a strong positive correlation between elevated level of CD33
    Conclusion: Our data suggests that screening patients for high titre of M-MDSCs might be considered as a new potential biomarker and treatment modality in overcoming chemo-resistance in NHL patients.

    Abstract Background: A water-soluble ingredient of mature leaves of the tropical mahogany 'Neem' (Azadirachta indica), was identified as glycoprotein, thus being named as 'Neem Leaf Glycoprotein' (NLGP). This non-toxic leaf-component regressed cancerous murine tumors (melanoma, carcinoma, sarcoma) recurrently in different experimental circumstances by boosting prime antitumor immune attributes. Such antitumor immunomodulation, aid cytotoxic T cell (T
    Methods: Six glycoprotein-binding C-type lectins found on APCs, namely, MBR, Dectin-1, Dectin-2, DC-SIGN, DEC205 and DNGR-1 were screened on bone marrow-derived dendritic cells from C57BL/6 J mice. Fluorescence microscopy, RT-PCR, flow cytometry and ELISA revealed Dectin-1 as the NLGP-binding receptor, followed by verifications through RNAi. Following detection of β-Glucans in NLGP, their interactions with Dectin-1 were explored in silico. Roles of second messengers and transcription factors in the downstream signal were studied by co-immunoprecipitation, western blotting, and chromatin-immunoprecipitation. Intracellularization of FITC-coupled NLGP was observed by processing confocal micrographs of DCs.
    Results: Considering extents of hindrance in NLGP-driven transcription rates of the cytokines IL-10 and IL-12p35 by receptor-neutralization, Dectin-1 receptors on dendritic cells were found to bind NLGP through the ligand's peripheral β-Glucan chains. The resulting signal phosphorylates PKCδ, forming a trimolecular complex of CARD9, Bcl10 and MALT1, which in turn activates the canonical NFκB-pathway of transcription-regulation. Consequently, the NFκB-heterodimer p65:p50 enhances Il12a transcription and the p50:p50 homodimer represses Il10 transcription, bringing about a cytokine-based systemic-bias towards type-1 immune environment. Further, NLGP gets engulfed within dendritic cells, possibly through endocytic activities of Dectin-1.
    Conclusion: NLGP's binding to Dectin-1 receptors on murine dendritic cells, followed by the intracellular signal, lead to NFκB-mediated contrasting regulation of cytokine-transcriptions, initiating a pro-inflammatory immunopolarization, which amplifies further by the responding immune cells including T

    Abstract Breast cancer (BC) is globally one of the leading killers among women. Within a breast tumor, a minor population of transformed cells accountable for drug resistance, survival, and metastasis is known as breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs). Several experimental lines of evidence have indicated that BCSCs influence the functionality of immune cells. They evade immune surveillance by altering the characteristics of immune cells and modulate the tumor landscape to an immune-suppressive type. They are proficient in switching from a quiescent phase (slowly cycling) to an actively proliferating phenotype with a high degree of plasticity. This review confers the relevance and impact of crosstalk between immune cells and BCSCs as a fate determinant for BC prognosis. It also focuses on current strategies for targeting these aberrant BCSCs that could open avenues for the treatment of breast carcinoma.
