    Abstract Lactobacillus paracasei KW3110 (KW3110) has anti-inflammatory effects, including the prevention of blue light exposure induced retinal inflammation and ageing-related chronic inflammation in mice. The mechanism involves the promotion of anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-10 production by KW3110, leading to reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β production. Although various stress-induced mitochondrial damages are associated with excessive inflammatory responses, the effect of KW3110 on inflammatory-stress-induced mitochondrial damage remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the effect of KW3110 on inflammatory stress-induced mitochondrial damage using the murine macrophage-like cell line J774A.1. KW3110 treatment suppressed lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, including downregulation of membrane potential, induction of reactive oxygen species, and respiratory dysfunction. In addition, KW3110 prevented LPS-induced disruption of mitochondrial morphology including cristae structures. IL-10 treatment also ameliorated LPS-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and morphology disruption. These results suggest that KW3110 prevents LPS-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, potentially via promoting IL-10 production in mouse macrophages. We are the first to reveal a suppressive effect of lactic acid bacteria on mitochondrial morphology disruption in inflammatory-stressed macrophages. Our findings contribute to understanding inflammatory-stress-induced mitochondrial damage and developing food ingredients with preventive effects on mitochondrial-damage-derived inflammatory conditions.

    Abstract Many female mammals have recurring cycles of ovulation and sexual behaviors that are regulated by reproductive hormones and confer reproductive success. In addition to sexual behaviors, circadian behavioral rhythms of locomotor activity also fluctuate across the estrous cycle in rodents. Moreover, there is a bidirectional relationship between circadian rhythms and estrous cyclicity since mice with disrupted circadian rhythms also have compromised estrous cycles resulting in fewer pregnancies. In the present study, we assessed whether extending day length, which alters circadian rhythms, normalizes estrous cyclicity in mice. We found that

    Abstract Many female mammals have recurring cycles of ovulation and sexual behaviors that are regulated by reproductive hormones and confer reproductive success. In addition to sexual behaviors, circadian behavioral rhythms of locomotor activity also fluctuate across the estrous cycle in rodents. Moreover, there is a bidirectional relationship between circadian rhythms and estrous cyclicity since mice with disrupted circadian rhythms also have compromised estrous cycles resulting in fewer pregnancies. In the present study, we assessed whether extending day length, which alters circadian rhythms, normalizes estrous cyclicity in mice. We found that Period (Per) 1/2/3 triple knockout (KO) mice, that have disabled canonical molecular circadian clocks, have markedly disrupted estrous cycles. Surprisingly, extending the day length by only 2 h per day restored regular 4- or 5-day estrous cycles to Per1/2/3 KO mice. Longer days also induced consistent 4-day, rather than 5-day, estrous cycles in wild-type C57BL/6J mice. These data demonstrate that extending daytime light exposure could be used for enhancing reproductive success.

    Abstract A new species of grunt sculpin, Rhamphocottus nagaakii inhabiting the northwestern Pacific, previously identified as Rhamphocottus richardsonii Günther 1874, is described based on genetic evidence and morphological differences. The new species can be distinguished based on morphometric characters related to the head, including head length [45.3–54.6% of standard length (SL)], postorbital head length (18.8–25.5% SL) and the length of pectoral-fin base (15.8–20.7% SL), which are smaller than in R. richardsonii (53.6–60.5% SL, 26.2–31.7% SL, and 19.5–25.2% SL, respectively). Genetic differences between two species markedly exceed levels for intra-specific differences. Rhamphocottus nagaakii is considered to have arisen from a common ancestor of the two species, which probably inhabited somewhere the North Pacific Rim around the Aleutian Archipelago. During a period of cooling in the Pliocene or the Miocene, R. nagaakii and R. richardsonii became separated to the southern regions of the northwestern and northeastern Pacific, and subsequently underwent speciation.

    Abstract Background: We conducted a post-marketing surveillance study to evaluate the clinical tolerability and safety of atezolizumab in Japanese patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
    Methods: This prospective, observational post-marketing cohort study was conducted in NSCLC patients who received atezolizumab 1200 mg every 3 weeks at 770 facilities in Japan between April 18, 2018, and March 31, 2020 (study number UMIN000031978). Case report forms were completed, recording patient characteristics, treatment details, adverse events, adverse drug reactions (ADRs), their severity, onset and outcomes. Follow-up was for 12 months or until atezolizumab discontinuation.
    Results: Overall, 2570 patients were included, median age was 69.0 years, and 69.9% were males. ADRs were reported in 29.1% of patients, most commonly pyrexia (4.2%). Grade ≥ 3 ADRs occurred in 9.7% of patients aged <75 and 9.7% of those aged ≥75 years. The incidence of Grade ≥ 3 ADRs was not affected by the number of lines of previous treatment or the presence or history of an autoimmune disorder. Immune-related ADRs of interest that occurred in >1% of patients were interstitial lung disease (ILD; 4.4%), endocrine disorder (4.3%), and hepatic dysfunction (2.8%). ILD was significantly more common in patients with a history of, or concurrent, ILD versus those without (P ≤ 0.001). Risk factors of Grade ≥ 3 ADRs were a history of, or concurrent, ILD. Grade 5 ADRs occurred in 35 patients, 11 of whom had concurrent ILD.
    Conclusions: This large cohort study confirmed the clinical tolerability of atezolizumab in a real-world group of Japanese patients with NSCLC.

    Abstract Lactobacillus paracasei KW3110 (KW3110) has anti-inflammatory effects and mitigates retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell damage caused by blue-light exposure. We investigated whether KW3110 suppresses chronic inflammatory stress-induced RPE cell damage by modulating immune cell activity and whether it improves ocular disorders in healthy humans. First, we showed that KW3110 treatment of mouse macrophages (J774A.1) produced significantly higher levels of interleukin-10 as compared with other lactic acid bacterium strains (all p < 0.01). Transferring supernatant from KW3110- and E. coli 0111:B4 strain and adenosine 5′-triphosphate (LPS/ATP)-stimulated J774A.1 cells to human retinal pigment epithelium (ARPE-19) cells suppressed senescence-associated phenotypes, including proliferation arrest, abnormal appearance, cell cycle arrest, and upregulation of cytokines, and also suppressed expression of tight junction molecule claudin-1. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel-group study of healthy subjects ( n = 88; 35 to below 50 years) ingesting placebo or KW3110-containing supplements for 8 weeks showed that changes in critical flicker frequency, an indicator of eye fatigue, from the week-0 value were significantly larger in the KW3110 group at weeks 4 ( p = 0.040) and 8 ( p = 0.036). These results suggest that KW3110 protects ARPE-19 cells against premature senescence and aberrant expression of tight junction molecules caused by chronic inflammatory stress, and may improve chronic eye disorders including eye fatigue.

    Abstract We previously reported that regulatory T (Treg) cells expressing CTLA-4 on the cell surface are abundant in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The role of expanded Treg cells in the tumor microenvironment of HNSCC remains unclear. In this study, we reveal that the tumor microenvironment of HNSCC is characterized by the high expression of genes related to Treg cells, dendritic cells (DCs), and interleukin (IL)-17-related molecules. Increased expression of IL17A, IL17F, or IL23A contributes to a favorable prognosis of HNSCC. In the tumor microenvironment of HNSCC, IL23A and IL12B are expressed in mature dendritic cells enriched in regulatory molecules (mregDCs). The mregDCs in HNSCC are a migratory and mature phenotype; their signature genes strongly correlate with Treg signature genes in HNSCC. We also observed that IL17A was highly expressed in Th17 cells and exhausted CD8
