H-indole-2-carboxylate, was evaluated for the in vitro cell growth inhibition on three human tumor cell lines, MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma), A375-C5 (melanoma), and NCI-H460 , after a continuous exposure of 48 h, exhibiting very low GI50 values for all the cell lines tested (0.25 to 0.33 μM). This compound was encapsulated in different nanosized liposome formulations, containing egg lecithin (Egg-PC), dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC), dipalmitoyl phosphatidylglycerol (DPPG), DSPC, cholesterol, dihexadecyl phosphate, and DSPE-PEG. Dynamic light scattering measurements showed that nanoliposomes with the encapsulated compound are generally monodisperse and with hydrodynamic diameters lower than 120 nm, good stability and zeta potential values lower than -18 mV.

AbstractPityophthorus Eichhoff, 1864 include more than 300 species worldwide, with maximum diversity in tropical and subtropical regions. To date, approximately 50 species of Pityophthorus have been recorded in Canada, and these species are associated mainly with coniferous trees. Since 1981, no comprehensive study on this difficult taxonomic group has been conducted in Quebec, Canada, most likely due to their limited significance as forest pests. Based on data gathered from five years of field sampling in conifer seed orchards and compiled from various entomological collections, the distribution of Pityophthorus species in Quebec is presented. Approximately 291 new localities were recorded for the Pityophthorus species. Five species-group taxa, namely Pityophthorus puberulus , Pityophthorus pulchellus pulchellus Eichhoff, 1869, Pityophthorus pulicarius , Pityophthorus nitidus Swaine, 1917,and Pityophthorus cariniceps LeConte&Horn, 1876 were the most widespread. In contrast, Pityophthorus consimilis LeConte, 1878, Pityophthorus intextus Swaine, 1917, Pityophthorus dentifrons Blackman, 1922, Pityophthorus ramiperda Swaine, 1917, and Pityophthorus concavus Blackman, 1928 display a notably limited distribution. In addition, the first distribution records of Pityophthorus intextus and Pityophthorus biovalis Blackman, 1922 are furnished, and the subspecies Pityophthorus murrayanae murrayanae Blackman, 1922is reported from Quebec for the second time. Moreover, distribution maps are provided for all Pityophthorus species recorded in the province of Quebec.Twig beetles in the genus PageBreak Pityophthorus Eichhoff, 1864 include approximately 386 species distributed worldwide  was responsible for carrying the spores of Fusarium circinatum Nirenberg and O’Donnell, which is the fungus that causes pitch canker disease . This complex causes thousand cankers disease, which is a serious necrosis of the phloem of walnut trees, Juglans sp., in the United States . The Pityophthorus are closely related to Araptus Eichhoff, 1872 whose species are found mainly in Mexico, Central, and South America . A study of the distribution of Pityophthorus species is highly important, particularly in ecological and biological studies on different species and for further taxonomic revisions of this difficult bark beetle group. This study also provides background information for researchers working with exotic forest insects and for forest managers.The purpose of this article is to update the distribution of all recorded Pityophthorus specimens collected exclusively in the province of Quebec, Canada. Two different sources of data were used: field captures performed between 2008 and 2012 and a survey of public and private entomological collections.This article is based on data obtained from Field collection methods. The field data included in this article were collected over a period of five years (2008–2012) from trapping activities conducted in six different seed orchards scattered from west to east over diverse types of landscapes in the province of Quebec  Voss, red spruce, Picea rubens Sargent, and black spruce, Picea mariana Miller, Briton, Sterns & Poggenburg.f Quebec .

Twelve-unit Lindgren funnel traps were used to monitor Pityophthorus populations in three of the six previously mentioned seed orchards, namely Verchères, Huddersfield and Cleveland . Ethanol is an attractant for large number of bark and ambrosia beetles (Pityophthorus specimens were preserved in 70  % ethanol and subsequently mounted and pinned. All of the captured specimens originating from field trapping are preserved in the INRS-Institute Armand-Frappier (INRS-IAF) entomological collection. The species identification was performed according to morphological criteria by using a Discovery V-20 stereomicroscope (Carl Zeiss Canada Ltd.) equipped with an ICc3 video camera.

Even though the specimens have not been examined, these are included in the article as reliable records that were published by INRS-IAF Entomological collection of the INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier, Laval, QC, Canada. All specimens collected during the field trapping activities are deposited in this collection.Approximately 50 % of the specimens analyzed in this study belong to MRNQ entomological collection. In general, to capture bark beetle specimens, the “Ministère des Ressources naturelles du Québec” (MRNQ) uses permanent sampling stations dispersed in all representative types of forest ecosystems and landscapes across the province of Quebec.Other conventions and symbols. The distribution record for each of the Pityophthorus species mentioned in this article is displayed using the following sequences: 1. Name of the locality where the specimen was captured. In some cases, instead of the name of the locality, the historic territorial administrative name may appear , because no locality name has been assigned to the sampling area. 2. Name of the Regional County Municipality (RCM) to which the cited locality belongs. Regional County Municipalities have delineated the province of Quebec territory since 1979. Many localities in Quebec that are situated in different geographic areas have received the same name. To avoid any confusion relative to the locality names, the corresponding RCM is included. 3. Date of capture. If the capture date is missing or it is unreadable on the label, a question mark is included. 4. Number of examined specimens and the acronym of the entomological collection to which they belong. These data are included within parentheses and separated by a coma. 5.

A total of 291 new localities in Quebec, Canada were recorded for the 17 identified species. The most widespread species in the province of Quebec is Pityophthorus puberulus with 72 records, followed by Pityophthorus pulchellus pulchellus with 62 records, then by P. pulicarius with 40 records, Pityophthorus nitidus with 34 records, and Pityophthorus cariniceps with 33 records.A total of 21 690 specimens of Pityophthorus puberulus displays a typical northeastern distribution in North America. This twig beetle breeds in various species of Pinus, as well as Abies and Picea  that could not be assigned to any known Pityophthorus fauna recorded in Canada is found in Province of Quebec.1. More than 30 % (17 species) of the Pityophthorus species in Quebec may be biased by the locations of our permanent sampling stations, which were positioned exclusively in conifer seed orchards and predominantly along the primary river valleys and major roads. The greatest number of distribution points is concentrated along the Saint-Lawrence River and Gatineau Valley. The actual positions of the permanent sampling stations in Quebec are principally connected with the timber industry. Future sampling campaigns should be organized above 51°N to obtain a more realistic overview of the distribution of Pityophthorus in Quebec.2. In general, the our reported distributions of all Pityophthorus species. Further studies will be needed to increase the knowledge on the fauna and taxonomy of this twig beetle group in Quebec, Canada.3. Diverse types of forest ecosystems, as well as the north-south temperature gradient may potentially shelter more than 17

In haploidentical-SCT male-patients with female-donors have better prognosis compared to female-to-male-combinations due to Y-encoded minor-histocompatibility-antigens recognised by female-allo-immune effector-lymphocytes in the context of a graft-versus-leukaemia-(GvL)-effect. We provide data in a dog-model that the minor-histocompatibility-antigen UTY might be a promising target to further improve GvL-immune-reactions after allogeneic-SCT.In vitro: Autologous-cDCs were generated with best of three DC-methods . Generation cUTY-specific-CTLs: CD3+ T-cells were co-cultured with autologous-mature cDCs+hUTY-peptides . Cytotoxicity and antigen-specificity were determined by [51Cr]-release- and cIFN-g-ELISPOT-assays. Cells were quantified day 0 and of harvest using anti-cmAbs/hmAbs (FACS), UTY-mRNA-expression via RT-PCR-analysis. In vivo: A female-dog was immunised with PBMCs from a DLA-identical-male-dog (day 0 and 14). PB-derived T-cells were harvested 35 days post 2nd-injection followed by analysing UTY-specific-reactivity.Canine (c) purebred-beagle-dogs’ PB and BM were studied. T2-cells  were used. These human-(h)-UTY-sequence-derived HLA-A2-binding-peptides were investigated: W248 (WMHHNMDLV), T368 (TLAARIKFL), K1234 (KLFEMIKYC). in vitro using autologous-DCs loaded with three HLA-A2-restricted UTY-derived-peptides (≤2.9-fold-expansion) and specific T-cell-responses were determined in 3/6 female-dogs. CTLs specifically recognised/lysed autologous-female peptide-loaded-DCs /≤47.9%), but not naive autologous-female-DCs and -monocytes (p≤0.026). They mainly recognized BM and to a lower extent DCs, monocytes, PBMCs and B-cells from DLA-identical-male-littermates and peptide-loaded T2-cells in an MHC-I-restricted manner (up to p≤ 0.046). UTY-mRNA was only expressed in male-cells. A UTY-/male-specific-reactivity was also obtained in vivo after stimulation of a female-dog with DLA-identical-male-PBMCs.Female cUTY-specific-CTLs were stimulated We demonstrated natural UTY-processing/presentation in dogs. Female-dog-CTLs were specifically stimulated by HLA-A2-restricted-UTY-peptides, thereby enabling recognition of DLA-identical-male-cells, mainly BM-cells. These observations suggest UTY as a promising candidate-antigen to improve GvL-reactions in the course of immunotherapy. Next-generation-sequencing and specialised-bioinformatics-algorithms are now focus for human-individualised-leukaemia-treatment .
