| Abstract | Human papillomavirus (HPV) virus-like particle (VLP) vaccines are highly effective at preventing viral infections and the development of precancerous lesions through the induction of high-titer neutralizing antibodies and strong cell-mediated immune responses. Women taking combined oral contraceptives (COCs), however, show large variabilities in the magnitudes of their antibody responses. The goal of the present study was to determine the effects of 17β-estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P4) alone and in combination on the cellular immune response to HPV type 16 (HPV-16) VLPs in vitro. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from healthy donor women were stimulated in vitro with HPV-16 VLPs (2.5 μg/ml) in the presence of E2 and P4 administered either alone or in combination; and lymphoproliferation, cytokine production, transcription factor expression, and steroid hormone receptor expression were analyzed. HPV-16 VLPs significantly increased the levels of lymphoproliferation, proinflammatory cytokine (gamma interferon [IFN-γ], interleukin-1β [IL-1β], IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12p70, IL-17, tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-α]) production, anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-1ra, IL-10) production, and the expression of Erα and Erβ but decreased the levels of Foxp3 expression and production of transforming growth factor β (TGF-β). Exposure of PBMCs to E2 and P4 either alone or in combination significantly decreased the levels of lymphoproliferation and production of proinflammatory cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-12p70, TNF-α) but increased the levels of production of IL-10 and TGF-β and the expression of Foxp3 in response to HPV-16 VLPs. Treatment of cells with biologically relevant concentrations of sex steroid hormones suppressed the inflammatory response and enhanced the regulatory response to HPV-16 VLPs, which may have implications for predicting the long-term efficacy of HPV vaccines, adverse events, and cross-protection among women taking COCs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
