    Abstract Background: NLRP3 inflammasome activation plays a critical role in mediating inflammation and NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis) progression that ultimately leads to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Melatonin (MLT) controls high-fat diet-induced NASH in the murine model by modulating NLRP3 mediated inflammation. P2X7R-mediated inflammasome activation is reported in several inflammatory models including NASH.
    Objective: The role of MLT in P2X7R-mediated inflammation in the NASH model has not yet been explored. The present study investigated the role of MLT in amending high-fat diet-induced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in the murine liver.
    Methods: To evaluate the hepatological changes, mice were divided into four groups to investigate the improvement potential of this MLT (10 and 20 mg/kg) and to assess the experimental findings. Histology, biochemical assays, ELISA, FACS analysis, Western blotting, and IF were performed to assess the physical and molecular changes upon melatonin treatment.
    Results: The result demonstrated that MLT administration reduced HFD (high-fat diet)-induced non-alcoholic steatohepatitic indices, which successively restored the hepatic morphological architecture and other pathophysiological features too. Moreover, the application of MLT suppressed HFD-induced activation of the inflammasome and through TLR4/NF-κB signaling. Herein, we report that MLT significantly suppresses P2X7R expression and calcium influx along with inflammasome in both in vitro and in vivo. The docking study revealed a strong binding affinity of MLT with P2X7R. Moreover, the results also showed that the Nrf2 level was boosted which may normalize the expression of antioxidant proteins that safeguard against oxidative damage triggered by inflammation. Furthermore, some matrix metalloproteinases like MMP 2 and MMP 9 were repressed and TIMP-1 level was increased, which also signifies that MLT could improve liver fibrosis in this model.
    Conclusion: Based on our findings, this study may conclude that MLT could be used as a therapeutic agent in the high-fat diet-induced NASH model as it has persuasive anti-inflammatory potential.

    Abstract Nanoparticles (NPs) are encapsulating agents that exist in the nanometer range. They can be classified into different classes based on their properties, shapes, or sizes. Metal NPs, fullerenes, polymeric NPs, ceramic NPs, and luminescent nanoporous hybrid materials are only a few examples. This study explored the anticancer potential of quercetin and 5-fluorouracil-encapsulated chitosan nanoparticles (CS-5-FU-QCT NPs). The nanoparticles were prepared by ionic gelation, and their efficacy and mechanism of action were examined. CS-5-FU-QCT NPs were characterized using dynamic light scattering (DLS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), UV-visible spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR); cytotoxicity was analyzed using an MTT assay. Cells were treated with CS-5-FU-QCT NPs and incubated for 12, 24, and 36 h, and apoptosis analysis (using Annexin V/FITC), cell-cycle analysis, Western blotting, and confocal microscopic analysis were performed. Biophysical analysis revealed that the CS-5-FU-QCT NPs fall in the range of 300-400 nm with a near-spherical shape. The i

    Abstract Recently unfolded mechanisms showed lipid droplet helps in pathogen survival and paralyzes host immune response. In the present study, we showed the extent of lipid droplet(LD) generation in Leishmania donovani infection, the signaling involved, and their function concerning pathogenicity. RAW 264.7 and J774A.1 cells were used to infect with L. donovani and then flow cytometry and confocal microscopy were used to detect lipid droplet generation and subsequent assays. In this study, we showed that L. donovani AG83 (AG83/MHOM/1983) triggers lipid droplet formation in macrophages in a time-dependent manner. We provide novel insight into the signaling molecules which is responsible for LD accumulation. Interestingly, LPG deficient attenuated Leishmania strain UR6 (UR6/MHOM/1978) failed to fuel LD generation. But inhibition of phagosome maturation drastically stimulates LD accumulation in UR6 infected MΦs. Aspirin treatment in AG83 infected MΦs does not only lower LD load but also favors phagolysosome biogenesis and corrects cytokine balance. Employing strategies to circumvent halt in phagosome maturation using drugs that manipulate lipid droplet generation could be used as a therapeutic tool to resist parasite growth in the early hour of infection.

    Abstract Current drugs are inefficient for the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis an immunosuppressive ailment caused by Leishmania donovani. Regrettably, there is no plant-origin antileishmanial drug present. P2X₇R is constitutively present on macrophage surfaces and can be a putative therapeutic target in intra-macrophage pathogens with function attributes towards inflammation, host cell apoptosis, altered redox, and phagolysosomal maturation by activating p₃₈MAPK. Here we demonstrated that the initial interaction of Spergulin-A (Sp A), a triterpenoid saponin with RAW 264.7 macrophages was mediated through P2X₇R involving the signaling cascade intermediates Ca⁺⁺, p₃₈MAPK, and NF-κβ. Phospho (P)-p38MAPK involvement is shown to have specific and firm importance in leishmanial killing with increased NF-κβp65. Phago-lysosomal maturation by Sp A also campaigns for another contribution of P2X₇R. In vivo evaluation of the anti-leishmanial activity of Sp A was monitored through expression analyses of P2X₇R, P-p38MAPK, and NF-κβp65 in murine spleen and bone-marrow macrophages and supported Sp A being a natural compound of leishmanicidal functions which acted through the P2X₇R-p38MAPK axis.

    Abstract Objective: Grape Seed Extract is a natural source of various polyphenols, which have been shown to possess potent antioxidant and free radical-scavenging activities. The earlier studies have reported that grape seed extract exhibits broad-spectrum pharmacological activities. Therefore, studying the hepatoprotective effects and elucidation of mechanisms of action of the Indian Variety, Manjari Medika grape seed extract (GSE), may give an insight into therapeutic benefits. Methotrexate (MTX) is the first-line pharmacological therapy for different rheumatic diseases. The major adverse events such as hepatotoxicity are evident even in the low doses used for the treatment. The present study investigated the role of MTX on hepatic damage in murine liver and the plausible protective effects of the Indian grape variety, Manjari Medika grape seed extract, in ameliorating it.
    Methods and results: To assess the hepatological modulation, mice were divided into eight groups to investigate the ameliorative potential of this GSE (75 and 125 mg/kg) and correlate the experimental findings. The active components of the extract were assessed through UPLC-(ESI)-QToF-MS analysis. On the other hand, various biochemical and immunological indices were carried out to correlate the experimental data. The result demonstrated that the prophylactic administration of GSE reduced MTX-induced hepatic toxicity indices, which subsequently restored the hepatic morphological architecture. Moreover, the application of GSE in a dual dosage (75 and 125 mg/kg) suppressed MTX-induced reactive oxygen species generation, followed by lipid peroxidation and cellular nitrite formation. MTX-induced inflammasome activation through the redox-assisted cascade of TLR4/NF-κB signaling was further reduced by applying the GSE. The results showed that the activation of cytoprotective transcription factor Nrf2 enhanced the level of endogenous antioxidants. Furthermore, through the regulation of TLR4/NF-κB and Nrf2/HO-1 axis, this extract could reduce the MTX-mediated hepatic damage.
    Conclusion: Our findings suggest that Manjari Medika seed extract could be used as a therapeutic agent to relieve the side effects of MTX and other hepatic disorders.
