    Abstract Relative internet search volumes (RSV) is now being consider as a measurement of awareness for most of the trending topics. During the recent coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, many researchers used the RSVs to interpret the population responses to the pandemic in various ways. By using the RSVs searched by Persian language people, we demonstrated that the Iranian people increased their knowledge and awareness of COVID-19 during the early phases of the disease before the first peak. However, their relative searches about the COVID-19 and its clinical symptoms decreased gradually despite of the gradual rise of the confirmed cases. Their less tendency to seek information about the COVID-19 could be one of the possible explanation for the increasing number of confirmed cases even several days after easing the disease related lockdown.

    Abstract Objectives: The B18R protein encoded by the Vaccinia virus decoys Type 1 interferons and inhibits the activity of several type I IFN members. In vitro transcription protocols benefit from this molecule's involvement in enhancing cell viability by inhibiting interferon signal transduction. As a result of their immunomodulatory properties and potential to regenerate, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are increasingly considered an alternative treatment for a wide range of immune disorders. In this study, we investigated the modification of expression of several genes involved in immune-related pathways after preconditioning MSCs with two immune stimuli, including poly(I:C) and LPS.
    Materials and methods: ASCs were isolated and primed with B18R, and after exposure to poly(I:C) and LPS, the expression of the same sets of genes as in the previous experiment was evaluated. Following total RNA isolation from primed cells and cDNA preparation, real-time quantitative PCR was performed for several immunomodulatory and immune-related genes, including
    Results: Pretreatment of MSCs with poly(I:C) and LPS significantly increased the expression of all mentioned genes, while upon the B18R challenge followed by poly(I:C) and LPS treatment, they were down-regulated. Finally, it was observed that the relative expression level of
    Conclusion: The data indicated that the presence of B18R prevents the overexpression of several immune-related genes, which are overexpressed in the

    Abstract There is an urgent need to find an effective therapy for life-threatening HTLV-1-associated diseases. Bitter melon (Momordica charantia) is considered a traditional herb with antiviral and anticancer properties and was tested in this study on HTLV-1 infectivity. GC-MS analyzed the alcoholic extract. In vitro assay was carried out using transfection of HUVEC cells by HTLV-1-MT2 cell line. The cells were exposed to alcoholic and aqueous extracts at 5,10, and 20 µg/mL concentrations. In vivo, mice were divided into four groups. Three groups were treated with HTLV-1-MT-2 cells as test groups and positive control, and PBS as the negative control group in the presence and absence of M. charantia extracts. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs), and splenocytes were collected for HTLV-1-proviral load (PVL) assessment, TaqMan-qPCR. The GC-MS analysis revealed 36 components in M. charantia. The studies showed significant reductions in HTLV-1-PVL in the presence of extract in the HUVEC-treated groups (P = 0.001). Furthermore, the inhibitory effects of extracts on HTLV-1 infected mice showed significant differences in HTLV-1-PVL among M. charantia treated groups with untreated (P = 0.001). The T-cells in MLNs were significantly more susceptible to HTLV-1 than others (P = 0.001). There were significant differences among HTLV-1-infected cells in MLNs and splenocytes (P = 0.001 and 0.046, respectively). Also, aqueous and alcoholic extract-treated groups significantly affected HTLV-1-infected PBMCs (P = 0.002 and 0.009, respectively). M. charantia may have effective antiviral properties. The substantial compound of M. charantia could have inhibitory effects on the proliferation and transmission of HTLV-1 oncovirus.

    Abstract Objective: The immunoregulatory properties of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) bring a promise for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. However, their ability to suppress the immune system is unstable. To enhance their effectiveness against immune responses, it may be necessary to manipulate MSCs. Although some dsRNA transcripts come from invading viruses, the majority of dsRNA has an endogenous origin and is known as endo-siRNA. DICER1 is a ribonuclease protein that can generate small RNAs to modulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. We aimed to evaluate the expression of several immune-related genes at mRNA and protein levels in MSCs overexpressing DICER1 exogenously.
    Materials and methods: In this comparative transcriptomic experimental study, the adipose-derived MSCs (Ad-MSCs) were transfected using the pCAGGS-Flag-hsDicer vector for the
    Results: The overexpression of
    Conclusion: It seems that the ectopic expression of DICER1 in Ad-MSCs is linked to alterations in the expression level of immune-related genes. It is suggested that the manipulation of immune-related pathways in MSCs via the Dicer1 overexpression could facilitate the development of MSCs with distinct immunoregulatory phenotypes.

    Abstract Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a permanent neurodevelopmental disorder with considerable global disability. Various rehabilitation strategies are currently available. However, none represents a convincing curative result. Cellular therapy recently holds much promise as an alternative strategy to repair neurologic defects.
    Method: In this narrative review, a comprehensive search of the MEDLINE and ClinicalTrials.gov was made, using the terms: "cell therapy" and "cerebral palsy", including published and registered clinical studies, respectively.
    Results: The early effects of these studies demonstrated that using cell therapy in CP patients is safe and improves the deficits for a variable duration. Despite such hopeful early bird results, the long-term outcomes are not conclusive.
    Conclusions: Due to the heterogeneous nature of CP, personal factors seem essential to consider. Cell dosage, routes of administration, and repeated dosing are pivotal to establish optimal personalized treatments. Future clinical trials should consider employing other cell types, specific cell modifications before administration, and cell-free platforms.

    Abstract Purpose: Since late 2019, the novel coronavirus disease has been a global concern, and alongside preventive strategies, including social distancing and personal hygiene, vaccination is now the primary hope for controlling the pandemic. Sputnik V is an adenovirus vector vaccine used against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) among Iranian health care providers, and there is a lack of information regarding the Adverse Events Following Immunisation (AEFI) by Sputnik V among the Iranian population. The present study aimed to evaluate AEFI by Sputnik V vaccine among Iranian population.
    Materials and methods: Every member of the Islamic Republic of Iran Medical Council received their first dose of the Sputnik V vaccine in Mashhad (Iran) and was referred to receive their second dose enrolled in the present study and asked to fill an English language checklist asking about development of any AEFI following immunization with the first dose of Sputnik V vaccine.
    Results: A total number of 1,347 with a mean±standard deviation age of 56.2±9.6 years filled the checklist. Most of the participants were male (838 [62.2%]). The present study demonstrated that immunization with the first dose of Sputnik V results in at least one AEFI in 32.8% of the Iranian medical council members. Most of the AEFI was related to musculoskeletal symptoms, including myalgia. By considering the age of 55 years as a cut-off point, individuals younger than 55 had a higher rate of AEFI (41.3% vs. 22.5%, p=0.0001). Male gender, use of analgesics, beta-blockers, and previous COVID-19 infection have a lower chance of developing AEFI (p<0.05).
    Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that most of the AEFI was related to musculoskeletal symptoms, including myalgia, and older individuals, male gender and those receiving analgesics and beta-blockers were less likely to develop AEFI following immunization with the first dose of Sputnik V.

    Abstract The conventional therapeutic approaches to treat autoimmune diseases through suppressing the immune system, such as steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are not adequately practical. Moreover, these regimens are associated with considerable complications. Designing tolerogenic therapeutic strategies based on stem cells, immune cells, and their extracellular vesicles (EVs) seems to open a promising path to managing autoimmune diseases' vast burden. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), dendritic cells, and regulatory T cells (Tregs) are the main cell types applied to restore a tolerogenic immune status; MSCs play a more beneficial role due to their amenable properties and extensive cross-talks with different immune cells. With existing concerns about the employment of cells, new cell-free therapeutic paradigms, such as EV-based therapies, are gaining attention in this field. Additionally, EVs' unique properties have made them to be known as smart immunomodulators and are considered as a potential substitute for cell therapy. This review provides an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of cell-based and EV-based methods for treating autoimmune diseases. The study also presents an outlook on the future of EVs to be implemented in clinics for autoimmune patients.

    Abstract Several strategies have been proposed to enhance wound healing results. Along with other forms of wound dressing, the human amniotic membrane (HAM) has long been regarded as a biological wound dressing that decreases infection and enhances healing. This study investigates the feasibility and effectiveness of wound healing using decellularized HAM (dAM) and stromal HAM (sAM) in combination with adipose-derived human mesenchymal stem cells (AdMSCs). The dAM and sAM sides of HAM were employed as wound dressing scaffolds, and AdMSCs were seeded on top of either dAM or sAM. Sixty healthy Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: untreated wound, dAM/AdMSCs group, and sAM/AdMSCs group. The gene expression of VEGF and COL-I was measured in vitro. Wound healing was examined after wounding on days 3, 7, 14, and 21. The expression level of VEGF was significantly higher in sAM/AdMSCs than dAM/AdMSCs (P ≤ 0.05), but there was no significant difference in COL-I expression (P ≥ 0.05). In vivo research revealed that on day 14, wounds treated with sAM/AdMSCs had more vascularization than wounds treated with dAM/AdMSCs (P ≤ 0.01) and untreated wound groups on days 7 (P ≤ 0.05) and 14 (P ≤ 0.0001), respectively. On days 14 (P < 0.05 for sAM/AdMSCs, P < 0.01 for dAM/AdMSCs), and 21 (P < 0.05 for sAM/AdMSCs, P < 0.01 for dAM/AdMSCs), the collagen deposition in the wound bed was significantly thicker in the sAM/AdMSCs and dAM/AdMSCs groups compared to untreated wounds. The study demonstrated that the combination of sAM and AdMSCs promotes wound healing by enhancing angiogenesis and collagen remodeling.
