    Abstract Although the treatment armamentarium for patients with metastatic prostate cancer has improved recently, treatment options after progression on cabazitaxel (CBZ) are limited. To identify the mechanisms underlying CBZ resistance and therapeutic targets, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from patients with CBZ-resistant prostate cancer. Cells were clustered based on gene expression profiles. In silico screening was used to nominate candidate drugs for overcoming CBZ resistance in castration-resistant prostate cancer. CTCs were divided into three to four clusters, reflecting intrapatient tumor heterogeneity in refractory prostate cancer. Pathway analysis revealed that clusters in two cases showed up-regulation of the oxytocin (OXT) receptor-signaling pathway. Spatial gene expression analysis of CBZ-resistant prostate cancer tissues confirmed the heterogeneous expression of OXT-signaling molecules. Cloperastine (CLO) had significant antitumor activity against CBZ-resistant prostate cancer cells. Mass spectrometric phosphoproteome analysis revealed the suppression of OXT signaling specific to CBZ-resistant models. These results support the potential of CLO as a candidate drug for overcoming CBZ-resistant prostate cancer via the inhibition of OXT signaling.

    Abstract The 3243A > G in mtDNA is a representative mutation in mitochondrial diseases. Mitochondrial protein synthesis is impaired due to decoding disorder caused by severe reduction of 5-taurinomethyluridine (τm5U) modification of the mutant mt-tRNALeu(UUR) bearing 3243A > G mutation. The 3243A > G heteroplasmy in peripheral blood reportedly decreases exponentially with age. Here, we found three cases with mild respiratory symptoms despite bearing high rate of 3243A > G mutation (>90%) in blood mtDNA. These patients had the 3290T > C haplotypic mutation in addition to 3243A > G pathogenic mutation in mt-tRNALeu(UUR) gene. We generated cybrid cells of these cases to examine the effects of the 3290T > C mutation on mitochondrial function and found that 3290T > C mutation improved mitochondrial translation, formation of respiratory chain complex, and oxygen consumption rate of pathogenic cells associated with 3243A > G mutation. We measured τm5U frequency of mt-tRNALeu(UUR) with 3243A > G mutation in the cybrids by a primer extension method assisted with chemical derivatization of τm5U, showing that hypomodification of τm5U was significantly restored by the 3290T > C haplotypic mutation. We concluded that the 3290T > C is a haplotypic mutation that suppresses respiratory deficiency of mitochondrial disease by restoring hypomodified τm5U in mt-tRNALeu(UUR) with 3243A > G mutation, implying a potential therapeutic measure for mitochondrial disease associated with pathogenic mutations in mt-tRNAs.

    Abstract Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is commonly used in clinical practice to accelerate neutropenia recovery after chemotherapy. G-CSF is a myeloid growth factor produced by monocytes, macrophages, fibroblasts and endothelial cells. Generally, aortitis and arteritis are not a known side effect of G-CSF and is thought to be extremely rare. Here, we present a case of a 77-year-old woman who underwent adjuvant chemotherapy (combined paclitaxel and carboplatin) for ovarian cancer, and then developed acute arteritis after receiving G-CSF. She developed grade 4 neutropenia on day 7 of the third chemotherapy cycle and received six G-CSF administrations. Two days after G-CSF administration, she came down with a high-grade fever that persisted for 2 weeks. Laboratory tests revealed a white blood cell count of 8700 UI, neutrophilic sequestration of 61.5%, and C-reactive protein of 8.43 mg/dl at the highest point of her fever. Considering that we were initially treating neutropenia, we diagnosed a bacterial infection, and she was treated with a course of antibiotics. However, her blood and urinalysis cultures were negative, and antibiotics were ineffective; thus, we performed a computed tomography scan to search for the cause of her persistent fever. The computed tomography scan showed remarkable thickness of the bilateral common carotid artery and the left subclavian artery consistent with arteritis. With cessation of the antibiotics course, she was followed closely without therapy, and her condition resolved in a few days. We conclude that G-CSF induced arteritis due to our exclusion of other probable etiologies.

    Abstract Many woody eudicot plants form a secondary xylem composed of gelatinous fibers (G-fibers) called "tension wood" (TW) along the upper side of the tilted stem or branch. TW generates a large tensile growth stress in the longitudinal direction, allowing the tilted stem or a branch to develop negative-gravitropism in response to the strong gravitational stimulus. This is because the G-fiber tends to contract in the longitudinal direction as it matures. The matured G-fiber also contracts upon boiling in water (= hygrothermal treatment, i.e., HT-treatment), and moisture desorption (= drying treatment). These contractions occur in the cellulose-rich gelatinous layer (G-layer) as an innermost layer of the G-fiber. It is still an unsolved mystery how the G-layer, which is composed of highly crystallized and longitudinally oriented cellulose microfibrils (CMFs), contracts during maturation, boiling, and drying. In the present study, TW specimen of Konara oak (Quercus serrata L.) was subjected to HT-treatment under different temperature and time conditions, and strain due to treatment was followed. Besides, the mass loss due to HT-treatment was also followed. Obtained results are summarized as follows. (1) Green TW specimen of Konara oak contracted in the longitudinal direction when subjected to the HT-treatment at a treatment temperature higher than 40 °C, which eventually converged to a constant value according to each treatment temperature. Magnitude of the longitudinal HTR-strain in the TW specimen was positively correlated with the treatment temperature in the range from 40 to 120 °C, whereas in the normal wood (NW) specimen, it does not occur explicitly when the temperature is less than 100 °C. (2) Both TW and NW specimens showed mass loss when subjected to the HT-treatment. The mass loss rate increased rapidly by the HT-treatment at 120 °C, while it was only slight below 100 °C. There was no significant difference between the mass loss behavior of TW and NW by the HT-treatment. From analyzing those results, physical behavior of CMF and other non-cellulosic matrix components in the G-layer during the HT-treatment was estimated. The discussion was further developed to associate HT-contraction with microscopic mechanisms of the other two characteristic contractions of the G-fiber, i.e., maturation strain and drying shrinkage.

    Abstract We describe base editors that combine both cytosine and adenine base-editing functions. A codon-optimized fusion of the cytosine deaminase PmCDA1, the adenosine deaminase TadA and a Cas9 nickase (Target-ACEmax) showed a high median simultaneous C-to-T and A-to-G editing activity at 47 genomic targets. On-target as well as DNA and RNA off-target activities of Target-ACEmax were similar to those of existing single-function base editors.

    Abstract Chemotaxis describes directional motility along ambient chemical gradients and has important roles in human physiology and pathology. Typical chemotactic cells, such as neutrophils and Dictyostelium cells, can detect spatial differences in chemical gradients over a background concentration of a 105 scale. Studies of Dictyostelium cells have elucidated the molecular mechanisms of gradient sensing involving G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling. GPCR transduces spatial information through its cognate heterotrimeric G protein as a guanine nucleotide change factor (GEF). More recently, studies have revealed unconventional regulation of heterotrimeric G protein in the gradient sensing. In this review, we explain how multiple mechanisms of GPCR signaling ensure the broad range sensing of chemical gradients in Dictyostelium cells as a model for eukaryotic chemotaxis.

    Abstract Objectives: The aim of this study was to clarify the mechanisms of the transient increase in neutrophils after running standard marathon races by measurement of cytokines involved in the production and survival of neutrophils, and cortisol.
    Methods: Fourteen male runners who participated in the Hokkaido Marathon, which is the sole marathon race held in summer in Japan, and finished the standard marathon were analyzed sequentially from the start until a maximum of 8 days after the finish.
    Results: Neutrophilia was observed in all runners just after they reached the goal (mean neutrophils: 13 226/μL). IL-6, G-CSF, and cortisol, but not GM-CSF, increased at the same time. Time-course studies with complete blood counts, biochemical markers, cytokines, and cortisol showed transient increases in neutrophils, monocytes, myoglobin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), G-CSF, IL-6, and cortisol. The increase in hsCRP was delayed 6 hours from the first increase in neutrophils. Correlations were observed between the neutrophil count and G-CSF, IL-6, and cortisol (G-CSF; r = .667, IL-6; r = .667, cortisol; r = .623).
    Conclusion: These results suggest that G-CSF is directly involved, and IL-6 is involved via cortisol in the transient neutrophilia that occurs after marathon races.
