RESUMEN

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a protein kinase that plays versatile roles in response to a variety of physiological stresses, including glucose deprivation, hypoxia, and ischemia. As a kinase with pleiotropic functions, it plays a complex role in tumor progression, exhibiting both tumor-promoting and tumor-suppressing activities. On one hand, AMPK enhances cancer cell proliferation and survival, promotes cancer metastasis, and impairs anti-tumor immunity. On the other hand, AMPK inhibits cancer cell growth and survival and stimulates immune responses in a context-dependent manner. Apart from these functions, AMPK plays a key role in orchestrating aging and aging-related disorders, including cardiovascular diseases (CVD), Osteoarthritis (OA), and Diabetes. In this review article, we summarized the functions of AMPK pathway based on its oncogenic and tumor-suppressive roles and highlighted the importance of AMPK pathway in regulating cellular aging. We also spotlighted the significant role of various signaling pathways, activators, and inhibitors of AMPK in serving as therapeutic strategies for anti-cancer and anti-aging therapy.

RESUMEN

During evolution Orientia tsutsugamushi became a smarter obligate bacterium to establish as intracellular pathogens. O. tsutsugamushi is a human pathogenic bacterium responsible for 1 billion infections of scrub typhus. Several novel mechanisms make this bacterium unique (cell wall, genetic constitutions, secretion system, etc.). In 2007, O. tsutsugamushi Boryong was pioneer strain for whole-genome sequencing. But the fundamental biology of this bacterial cell is a mystery till date. The unusual biology makes this organism as model for host cell interaction. Only a few antibiotics are effective against this intracellular pathogen but emergence of less susceptibility toward antibiotics make the situation alarming. The review was captivated to highlight the unusual aspects of adaptation, antibiotics, and drugs beyond antibiotics.

RESUMEN

Metabolic reprogramming is an important cancer hallmark that plays a key role in cancer malignancies and therapy resistance. Cancer cells reprogram the metabolic pathways to generate not only energy and building blocks but also produce numerous key signaling metabolites to impact signaling and epigenetic/transcriptional regulation for cancer cell proliferation and survival. A deeper understanding of the mechanisms by which metabolic reprogramming is regulated in cancer may provide potential new strategies for cancer targeting. Recent studies suggest that deregulated transcription factors have been observed in various human cancers and significantly impact metabolism and signaling in cancer. In this review, we highlight the key transcription factors that are involved in metabolic control, dissect the crosstalk between signaling and transcription factors in metabolic reprogramming, and offer therapeutic strategies targeting deregulated transcription factors for cancer treatment.

RESUMEN

Scrub typhus (ST) caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi (OT), has long been known to cause acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) and acute febrile illness (AFI). The immunodominant 56 kDa protein of OT, which is encoded by the 56 kDa gene (1600 bp encoding 516-541 amino acids) is a commonly studied antigen for genotype and serotype assignment. Previous studies from India have utilized partial type specific antigen (TSA) 56 kDa sequences for OT strain characterisation. On the other hand, understanding the antigenic diversity of current OT strains, is critical for developing specific diagnostic tests and vaccines against ST. As a result, the current study analyses antigenic variants using the entire TSA56 ORF of OT from AES cases. Phylogenetic investigation using complete TSA56 ORF sequences revealed Karp and Gilliam were the circulating predominant strains of OT. Furthermore, Immuno-informatical analysis demonstrated that the majority of high-binding affinity CD4 TCEs against the most prevalent Indian human leukocyte antigen alleles were present in the S-VDIII/IV and S-VDIV spacer regions of TSA56 ORF. TSA56 conserved spacer is crucial for OT immunological response investigations. Further, the pathophysiological effects of spacer domains in ST require further investigation. Furthermore, the characterization of the TSA56 spacer region of the OT from different parts of India is critical for developing region-specific ST diagnostic assays and vaccines.

RESUMEN

Background & objectives: The tribal population in India is considered as one of the vulnerable groups with respect to their achievements in health and other developmental issues. In this context, this mapping review attempted to understand the health profile of the Tharu tribal community residing in the northern State of Uttar Pradesh, India through literature mining. Tharu tribe is one of the indigenous groups living in the Terai plain on the Indo-Nepal border. In 1967, this tribe was documented as a Scheduled Tribe by the Government of India. The present review aimed to map the health-seeking behaviour of the Tharu population and review other factors pertaining to their health such as socioeconomic, developmental, employment, education, etc. Methods: Online data search was carried out on PubMed and Google Scholar using search terms 'Tharu' AND 'India'. In addition, official reports avaibale in public domain and grey literature was also searched. Results: Twenty seven studies including reviews, articles, books/book chapters were evaluated along with 13 reports (including reports from government organizations and grey literature) were retrieved and analyzed. Of the 27 published reports, 16 were found relevant to Tharu tribe in India. A total of 29 (16 articles + 13 reports ) were included in this review. Interpretation & Conclusions: This mapping review highights the health seeking behaviour of the Tharu tribe in India that can help inform future interventions to improve the health status of the Tharu tribe as well as other aspects of their development.

RESUMEN

Background & objectives: COVID-19 pandemic has triggered social stigma towards individuals affected and their families. This study describes the process undertaken for the development and validation of scales to assess stigmatizing attitudes and experiences among COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 participants from the community. Methods: COVID-19 Stigma Scale and Community COVID-19 Stigma Scale constituting 13 and six items, respectively, were developed based on review of literature and news reports, expert committee evaluation and participants' interviews through telephone for a multicentric study in India. For content validity, 61 (30 COVID-19-recovered and 31 non-COVID-19 participants from the community) were recruited. Test-retest reliability of the scales was assessed among 99 participants (41 COVID-19 recovered and 58 non-COVID-19). Participants were administered the scale at two-time points after a gap of 7-12 days. Cronbach's alpha, overall percentage agreement and kappa statistics were used to assess internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Results: Items in the scales were relevant and comprehensible. Both the scales had Cronbach's α above 0.6 indicating moderate-to-good internal consistency. Test-retest reliability assessed using kappa statistics indicated that for the COVID-19 Stigma Scale, seven items had a moderate agreement (0.4-0.6). For the Community COVID-19 Stigma Scale, four items had a moderate agreement. Interpretation & conclusions: Validity and reliability of the two stigma scales indicated that the scales were comprehensible and had moderate internal consistency. These scales could be used to assess COVID-19 stigma and help in the development of appropriate stigma reduction interventions for COVID-19 infected, and mitigation of stigmatizing attitudes in the community.

RESUMEN

The early management, diagnosis, and treatment of emerging and re-emerging infections and the rising burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are necessary. The Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)-Cas system has recently acquired popularity as a diagnostic tool due to its ability to target specific genes. It uses Cas enzymes and a guide RNA (gRNA) to cleave target DNA or RNA. The discovery of collateral cleavage in CRISPR-Cas effectors such as Cas12a and Cas13a was intensively repurposed for the development of instrument-free, sensitive, precise and rapid point-of-care diagnostics. CRISPR/Cas demonstrated proficiency in detecting non-nucleic acid targets including protein, analyte, and hormones other than nucleic acid. CRISPR/Cas effectors can provide multiple detections simultaneously. The present review highlights the technical challenges of integrating CRISPR/Cas technology into the onsite assessment of clinical and other specimens, along with current improvements in CRISPR bio-sensing for nucleic acid and non-nucleic acid targets. It also highlights the current applications of CRISPR/Cas technologies.

RESUMEN

Background and Objectives: Activation of NRF2, a key transcription factor of cytoprotectant against oxidative stress, and its target genes are associated with aggressive tumor progression, metastasis and poor survival. In addition, NRF2 signaling mediates cancer stem cell (CSC)-like properties in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. Moreover, CSCs have been associated with HCC onset and unfavorable prognosis. Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) and/or transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), which attempt to restrict blood supply to diminish tumor growth, can create a hypoxic environment. However, its effect on NRF2 signaling and CSC marker CD133 in the context of prognosis of HCCs have not been investigated. Therefore, we studied the possible role of the expressions of NRF2, its target genes and CSC markers CD133 and EpCAM on the survival of HCC patients after TAE/TACE. Materials and Methods: RT-qPCR was performed with 120 tumor (T) and adjacent tumor (N) tissue pairs. Expression of a single marker or combination was assessed for associations with survival of HCC patients after TAE/TACE. Results: The result of multivariate Cox regression showed that vascular invasion (HR, 1.821; p = 0.015), metastasis (HR, 2.033; p = 0.049) and CD133 overexpression (HR, 2.013; p = 0.006) were associated with poor survival. In a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, patients with high expression of CD133 had shorter overall survival (OS) than those with low expression of CD133 in post-TAE/TACE HCC (p < 0.001). In contrast, neither NRF2 nor components of its signaling pathway correlated with survival. Combination marker analysis showed that co-expression of NQO1 and CD133 was associated with poor outcome. Conclusions: This study suggests that analyzing the expression status of CD133 alone and co-expression of NQO1 and CD133 may have additional value in predicting the outcome of TAE/TACE-treated HCC patients.

RESUMEN

Being crucial part of plant-based novel discovery of drug from natural resources, a study was done to explore the antibacterial potential of curcumin mimics in combination with antibiotics against multidrug resistant isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The best candidate Van D, a curcumin mimics reduced the MIC of tetracycline (TET) up to 16 folds against multidrug resistant clinical isolates. VanD further inhibited the efflux pumps as evident by ethidium bromide efflux and by in-silico docking studies. In another experiment, it was also found that Van D inhibits biofilm synthesis. This derivative kills the KG-P2, an isolate of P. aeruginosa in a time dependent manner, the post-antibiotic effect (PAE) of tetracycline was extended as well as mutant prevention concentration (MPC) of TET was also decreased. In Swiss albino mice, Van D reduced the proinflammatory cytokines concentration. In acute oral toxicity study, this derivative was well tolerated and found to be safe up to 1000 mg/kg dose. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on curcumin mimics as synergistic agent via inhibition of efflux pump.

RESUMEN

Gorakhpur division consisting of Gorakhpur and neighboring districts Deoria, Kushinagar and Maharajganj in Uttar Pradesh, India, have been witnessing seasonal outbreaks of acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) among children for the last three decades. Investigations conducted during 2005 identified Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus as an aetiology of AES. With the introduction of JE vaccination and other control strategies, the incidence of JE in the region declined, however, outbreaks of acute febrile illness with neurological manifestations continued to occur. Subsequent investigations identified Orientia tsutsugamushi, as the major aetiology of AES outbreaks in the region. This review details clinical, epidemiological, animal and entomological investigations conducted for AES due to O. tsutsugamushi during 2015 and 2017 in Gorakhpur region. Surveillance of acute febrile illness among children attending peripheral health facilities identified scrub typhus as an important aetiology of febrile illness during monsoon and post-monsoon months. Population-based serosurveys indicated high endemicity of scrub typhus. Entomological studies demonstrated natural infection of O. tsutsugamushi in small animal hosts and vector mites. Children acquired this infection through recent exposure to outdoor environment, while playing, or visiting fields or defecating in open fields. A few of the children with scrub typhus progress to develop CNS manifestations. Hence, early administration of appropriate antibiotics is crucial in preventing progression of AFI due to scrub typhus to AES. The investigations conducted by the multi-disciplinary team helped understand the transmission dynamics of scrub typhus in Gorakhpur division and recommend strategies for its control.

RESUMEN

A simple and straightforward method for the synthesis of 4-iodo and 5-iodopyrrole-3-carboxaldehydes is developed from a common set of starting materials by tuning the reaction conditions. This sequential multicomponent protocol involves I2-mediated regioselective C4-iodination and aromatization of intermediate dihydropyrrole, generated through proline-catalyzed direct Mannich reaction-cyclization sequence between succinaldehyde and imines, to access 4-iodopyrroles. While aerobic oxidative aromatization of dihydropyrrole to pyrrole followed by NIS-mediated regioselective iodination furnished 5-iodopyrroles in a two-pot fashion. A series of site-selective C4/C5-iodopyrroles have been synthesized in good to high yields (up to 78%) and DFT calculations of these compounds were also performed.

RESUMEN

Background & objectives: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has spread rapidly, causing unprecedented case fatalities across the world. The first laboratory-confirmed case of COVID-19 and also the first death associated with the disease in the eastern part of Uttar Pradesh (UP) was reported from Basti on March 31, 2020. The present study describes a cluster of 17 cases including one death of confirmed COVID-19 in Basti, UP, India. Methods: A 25 year old male from Basti, UP, India, who died of respiratory failure was diagnosed post-mortem as SARS-CoV-2 positive. Contact tracing carried out by the district administration found 16 cases positive among tested contacts. A detailed retrospective investigation in the form of one-to-one interview was carried out with 16 recovered individuals to understand the transmission dynamics and clinical characteristics. Results: The findings showed that the cluster transmission occurred at three levels: first was direct contact with the index case which resulted in two secondary cases. Second, at a household level where four of the seven susceptible contacts got infected, and the third was an event (funeral) where 50 individuals participated and this resulted in seven SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals in whom infection could be directly linked to a funeral gathering. The index case had associated comorbidities and succumbed to death. Most of the cases were asymptomatic except two individuals, who developed mild symptoms. The mean duration of quarantine facility was 21.6±7.3 days, and the average time taken for the first negative test after testing positive to COVID-19 was 12±4.1 days. Interpretation & conclusions: The funeral acted as a super-spreader event for the transmission of infection among family members, relatives and others. Active contact tracing and confirmation of infection among the contacts led to the isolation of 16 SARS-CoV-2 positive cases and hence the limited spread of the disease. Asymptomatic carriers and super-spreader events are among the major challenges in the control and prevention of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Early testing, quarantine and social distancing may play key role in breaking the chain of transmission.

RESUMEN

A pot-economic method for the enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of a [2.2.2] azabicyclic isoquinuclidine system is developed. This protocol involves the proline-catalyzed direct Mannich reaction-cyclization/IBX-mediated site-selective oxidation/NaBH4-reduction sequence between glutaraldehyde and imines to generate in situ chiral 1,2-DHPs, followed by the diastereoselective Diels-Alder reaction with N-aryl maleimides furnishing isoquinuclidines in overall five steps. A variety of isoquinuclidines having five-contiguous chiral centers, including an all-carbon quaternary, were prepared with high yields (up to 78%) and excellent stereoselectivity (>50:1 dr, and up to >99:1 er). DFT calculations support the observed high stereoselective reaction outcome.

RESUMEN

A one-pot method has been described to synthesize benzopyran-annulated pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles, effectively by combining O-alkenyloxy/alkynyloxy-acetophenones with various pyrazolones in triethylammonium acetate (TEAA) under microwave irradiation. While combination of O-allyloxy- or O-prenyloxy-acetophenones with pyrazolones occurred efficiently, that of O-propargyloxy-acetophenones was found effective in the presence of ZnO catalyst, via a domino Knoevenagel-hetero-Diels-Alder (DKHDA) reaction. Aminobenzopyran frameworks were also synthesized, after nitro-containing products were reduced in tandem with iron(II) in an acidic medium. The in vitro antiproliferative activity of these compounds was measured and discussed against gram-positive, gram-negative and M. tuberculosis bacteria, fungi, and various representative human solid tumor cell lines, in addition to their ferric reducing antioxidant capability.

RESUMEN

A one-pot synthesis of new chromeno-annulated thiopyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles has been achieved through a domino-Knoevenagel-hetero-Diels-Alder reaction after combining various pyrazol-5-thiones with O-alkenyloxy/alkynyloxy-salicylaldehydes/naphthaldehydes in a Brønsted acidic ionic liquid, [Hmim]HSO[Formula: see text], methylimidazolium hydrogen sulphate, under microwave irradiation. The method is simple and in many cases the isolated products did not require further purification. The central pyranothiopyranyl cis-fusion was confirmed by 2D NMR NOESY and single-crystal X-ray analysis suggesting that the endo-E-Syn transition state would be the most favored pathway of the reaction. Many heterocycles of this new series were found active against six bacterial and two fungal strains. In addition, all the compounds possess good anti-oxidant activity with the ferric reducing anti-oxidant power value [Formula: see text]. All new structures were docked into active site of angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE), assuming that the compounds possessed the anti-hypertensive activity potential on the basis of prediction of activity spectra of substances prediction results. Pyranyl ring oxygen in compound 9a forms two hydrogen bonds with HIS353 and HIS513 residues in the active site of the ACE having good G score ([Formula: see text]) of this compound, comparable to that of the reference drug captopril ([Formula: see text]).
