  • Attenuation of Pathogenic Immune Responses During Infection with Human and Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV/SIV) by the Tetracycline Derivative Minocycline
    Attenuation of Pathogenic Immune Responses during Infection with Human and Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV/SIV) by the Tetracycline Derivative Minocycline Julia L. Drewes1, Gregory L. Szeto1¤, Elizabeth L. Engle1, Zhaohao Liao1, Gene M. Shearer2,M. Christine Zink1*, David R. Graham1,3* 1 Department of Molecular and Comparative Pathobiology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, United States of America, 2 Experimental Immunology Branch, Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, United States of America, 3 Johns Hopkins Bayview Proteomics Center, Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiology, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Bayview Campus, Baltimore, Maryland, United States of America Abstract HIV immune pathogenesis is postulated to involve two major mechanisms: 1) chronic innate immune responses that drive T cell activation and apoptosis and 2) induction of immune regulators that suppress T cell function and proliferation. Both arms are elevated chronically in lymphoid tissues of non-natural hosts, which ultimately develop AIDS. However, these mechanisms are not elevated chronically in natural hosts of SIV infection that avert immune pathogenesis despite similarly high viral loads. In this study we investigated whether minocycline could modulate these pathogenic antiviral responses in non-natural hosts of HIV and SIV. We found that minocycline attenuated in vitro induction of type I interferon (IFN) and the IFN-stimulated genes indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO1) and TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) in human plasmacytoid dendritic cells and PBMCs exposed to aldrithiol-2 inactivated HIV or infectious influenza virus. Activation- induced TRAIL and expression of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) in isolated CD4+ T cells were also reduced by minocycline.

Here, the paracrine role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in bone healing was investigated. First, purified human perivascular stem cells (PSCs) were observed to induce mitogenic, pro-migratory, and pro-osteogenic effects on osteoprogenitor cells while in non- contact co-culture via elaboration of EVs. PSC-derived EVs shared mitogenic, pro-migratory, and pro-osteogenic properties of their parent cell. PSC-EV effects were dependent on surface- associated tetraspanins, as demonstrated by EV trypsinization, or neutralizing antibodies for CD9 or CD81. Moreover, shRNA knockdown in recipient cells demonstrated requirement for the CD9/ CD81 binding partners IGSF8 and PTGFRN for EV bioactivity. Finally, PSC-EVs stimulated bone repair, and did so via stimulation of skeletal cell proliferation, migration, and osteodifferentiation.

    NCUR 2021 Proceedings A Diffusion Approach for Plasma Synthesis of Superhard Tantalum Borides Physics/Astronomy - Time: Tue 3:30pm-4:30pm - Session Number: 745 Aaditya Rau, Dr. Aaron Catledge, Department of Physics, The University of Alabama at Birmingham, 1720 2nd Ave S, Birmingham, Alabama 35294 Aaditya Rau Tantalum borides are a set of refractory metal compounds that have become of interest due to their desirable mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. While these compounds have been previously synthesized in a variety of methods, key issues related to sample size, sample integrity, and implementation feasibility limit their use. In this study, a microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) reactor was used to diffuse boron into tantalum substrates using a feedgas mixture of hydrogen and diborane. Specifically, the role of substrate temperature and substrate bias in influencing the chemical composition and mechanical properties of the borided tantalum was investigated. X-ray diffraction shows that high substrate temperature is favorable for TaB2 formation, with samples made at great than 775°C having a mean surface hardness of 40 GPa along with increased strain in the tantalum body-centered cubic lattice. Once the strained tantalum becomes locally supersaturated with boron, TaB and TaB2 precipitate. The combination of precipitation hardening as well as solid solution hardening may help explain the measured superhardness, as measured by nanoindentation. Application of a negative bias voltage to the substrate during the CVD process was not found to further increase the hardness, and in some cases decreased the measured hardness significantly, possibly due to etching effects from increased ion bombardment. These results show that MPCVD is a viable method for synthesis of superhard borides based on plasma-assisted diffusion.
