    Abstract We previously reported that diacylglycerol (DG) kinase (DGK) δ interacts with DG-generating sphingomyelin synthase (SMS)-related protein (SMSr), but not SMS1 or SMS2, via their sterile α motif domains (SAMDs). However, it remains unclear whether other DGK isozymes interact with SMSs. Here, we found that DGKζ, which does not contain SAMD, interacts with SMSr and SMS1, but not SMS2. Deletion mutant analyses demonstrated that SAMD in the N-terminal cytosolic region of SMSr binds to the N-terminal half catalytic domain of DGKζ. However, the C-terminal cytosolic region of SMS1 interacts with the catalytic domain of DGKζ. Taken together, these results indicate that DGKζ associates with SMSr and SMS1 in different manners and suggest that they compose new DG signaling pathways.

    Abstract Knockout mice of diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) η, which has been repeatedly suggested to be associated with bipolar disorder (BPD) by genome-wide association studies, exhibited abnormal behaviors similar to the manic phase of BPD. Chronic stress is also linked to changes in mood symptoms, including BPD. In the present study, we analyzed the effects of the glucocorticoid stress hormones, triamcinolone acetonide (TAA) and dexamethasone (DEX), on DGKη protein levels in neuroblastoma cell lines, Neuro-2a and SH-SY5Y. The protein levels of DGKη were significantly increased in the undifferentiated Neuro-2a and SH-SY5Y cells by TAA and DEX, but not in the differentiated neuroblastoma cells. To assess the functions of DGKη in undifferentiated neuroblastoma cells, we established DGKη-deficient SH-SY5Y cells using the clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeat/caspase 9 system. Notably, proliferation of DGKη-deficient SH-SY5Y cells was markedly attenuated, concomitant with the decrease in levels of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase. Taken together, these results suggest that DGKη levels are increased in undifferentiated neuroblastoma cells by glucocorticoid stress hormones and regulate cell proliferation.

    Abstract Cesarean section can lead to residual myometrial thickness thinning and cesarean scar syndrome. We report a novel trimming technique for residual myometrial thickness recovery in women with cesarean scar syndrome. Case 1: A 33-year-old woman who developed cesarean scar syndrome (CSS) and abnormal uterine bleeding post-cesarean scar became pregnant following hysteroscopic treatment. The myometrium at previous scar was dehiscent; therefore, a transverse incision was made above the scar. Post-operative uterine recovery failed owing to lochia retention, and developed cesarean scar syndrome again. Case 2: A 29-year-old woman who developed cesarean scar syndrome post-cesarean section became pregnant spontaneously. The myometrium at the previous scar was dehiscent like case 1. Scar repair was performed using a trimming technique during cesarean section; there were no subsequent complications and she conceived again spontaneously. Performing this novel surgical procedure during cesarean section may contribute to residual myometrial thickness recovery in women with cesarean scar syndrome.

    Abstract Forty-nine children who started wearing cartilage conduction hearing aids (CC-HAs) before completing elementary school (17 with bilateral hearing loss and 32 with unilateral hearing loss) were followed-up and examined. The wearing and utilization status of the CC-HA and its progress to date were evaluated. In addition, 33 participants who purchased the CC-HAs were interviewed to assess the wearing effect. Eleven of seventeen children with bilateral hearing loss and 25 of 32 children with unilateral hearing loss continued to use the CC-HAs. In terms of wearing effect, a good wearing effect was reported, even by those with unilateral hearing loss. In cases where it was difficult to wear CC-HAs stably with pasting or ear tips, it was possible to fix them stably using commercially available hair bands and eyeglass vines. In two cases, the CC-HAs were worn from infancy. With ingenuity and appropriate educational and medical support, it is possible to wear CC-HAs from infancy.

    Abstract Sphingomyelin (SM) synthase 1 (SMS1), which is involved in lipodystrophy, deafness, and thrombasthenia, generates diacylglycerol (DG) and SM using phosphatidylcholine (PC) and ceramide as substrates. Here, we found that SMS1 possesses DG-generating activities via hydrolysis of PC and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) in the absence of ceramide and ceramide phosphoethanolamine synthase (CPES) activity. In the presence of the same concentration (4.7 mol%) of PC and ceramide, the amounts of DG produced by SMS and PC-phospholipase C (PLC) activities of SMS1 were approximately 65% and 35% of total DG production, respectively. PC-PLC activity showed substrate selectivity for saturated and/or monounsaturated fatty acid-containing PC species. A PC-PLC/SMS inhibitor, D609, inhibited only SMS activity. Mn
