Modulation of TRPV1 Function in Human CD4+ T Cells by Nanodiamond and Nanoplatinum Liquid, DPV576

Abstract

Transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) channels act as sensors of pain, temperature, and other external stimuli. We have recently shown that DPV576, an aqueous mixture of nanodiamond (ND) and nanoplatinum (NP), can modulate the activity of TRPV on human primary keratinocytes, suggesting their potential as a possible pain modulator [1]. CD4+ T lymphocytes also express TRPV channels, and we sought with special interest to examine the effect of DPV576 in modulating the functions of TRPV channel expression and secretion of cytokines on human CD4+ T lymphocytes. Human primary CD4+ T cells were activated with anti CD3/CD28 with and without DPV576 at 1:25 and 1:100 dilutions for 24 hours in vitro. TRPV Receptor expression (TRPV1 and TRPV4) on CD4+ T cells was examined by flow cytometry. The capacity of DPV576 to modulate the activity of TRPV1 agonist capsaicin in CD4+ T cells was also determined. Activation of CD4+ T cells was determined by production of cytokines TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-10 using specific ELISA kits. DPV576 treatment of CD4+ T cells that were activated with anti CD3/CD28, resulted in increased expression of TRPV1 channel but had no effect on TRPV4. This was accompanied by increased secretion of IFN-g and reduced expression of TRPV1 in capsaicin activated CD4+ T cells. In addition, DPV576 inhibited the capsaicin, induced the production of both IFN-g and TNF-α, and enhanced the secretion of IL-10. We conclude that short term exposure to DPV576 inhibits the activity of TRPV1 channels in CD4+ T lymphocytes, which may suggest its possible beneficial use for pain management. 

Immunomodulatory effects of laser-synthesized nanodiamonds on peripheral blood mononuclear cells: evaluation of unconjugated, PEGylated, and antibody-conjugated formulations

“…Studies have demonstrated the capacity of NDs to elicit highly specific immune responses by affixing different antibodies and small molecules to their surface (Suarez-Kelly et al, 2021;Paladhi et al, 2022). A few of the many examples include enhanced proliferation of CD4 + and CD8 + T-cells (Ghoneum et al, 2014), B-lymphocytes (Huang et al, 2017;Suarez-Kelly et al, 2017), macrophages (Pentecost et al, 2019), and neutrophils (Chang et al, 2003).…”

Design of Gold Nanoparticles in Dendritic Cell‐Based Vaccines

“…Moreover, Ti02 nanoparticles were able to induce DC maturation and produce inflammatory cytokines . In addition, nanodiamond and nanoplatinum liquid can induce DC maturation . Thus, many NPs can influence DC maturation and induction of immune responses but the extent of which, their mechanisms, and whether all NPs can signal through TLR receptors needs further investigation.…”

Toxicity study in blood and tumor cells of laser produced medicines for application in fabrics

“…From one side, the fabric itself hosts the bacteria acting as a medium between the human organism and the microorganisms; on the other hand, it is regarded as a well assessed tool for drug delivery in contact of skin for external applications [24][25][26]. Therefore wide market sectors push textile industries to concentrate more on antibacterial fabrics manufacturing to improve fabrics quality and product sales.…”
