    Abstract In insects, sex ratio bias is sometimes introduced by feminization, parthenogenesis, cytoplasmic incompatibility, or male-killing. Some intracellular bacteria such as Wolbachia or Spiroplasma has been known as male-killing agents. Here I introduce an example of non-bacterial male-killing agent, Osugoroshi virus found in oriental tea tortrix.

    Abstract In nonclinical studies, models that can predict the metabolism of drug candidates by cytochrome P450 (CYP), including Cytochrome P450 family 3 subfamily A member 4 (CYP3A4) are helpful. CYP3A4-overexpressing human cells have been used universally to evaluate whether CYP3A4 metabolizes drug-candidate compounds. However, CYP3A4-overexpressing human cell lines are problematic because their activity levels are lower than that of in vivo human CYP3A4. Heme plays a paramount role in CYP activity. The rate-limiting step in heme biosynthesis is the generation of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA). In this study, we examined whether treatment with 5-ALA to CYP3A4-POR-UGT1A1-CES2 knockin and CES1 knockout (genome-edited) Caco-2 cells enhances CYP3A4 activity. A 7-day 5-ALA treatment increased intracellular heme levels in genome-edited Caco-2 cells without cytotoxicity. Moreover, consistent with the increase in intracellular heme content, 5-ALA treatment increased CYP3A4 activity in genome-edited Caco-2 cells. The results of this research are expected to be applied to pharmacokinetic studies using CYP-overexpressing human cells containing CYP3A4.

    Abstract Caco-2 cells are widely used as an in vitro intestinal model. However, the expression levels of the drug-metabolizing enzymes CYP3A4 and UGT1A1 are lower in these cells than in intestinal cells. Furthermore, the majority of prodrugs in use today are ester-containing, and carboxylesterase (CES) 1 and CES2 are among the enzymes that process the prodrugs into drugs. In the human small intestine, CES1 is hardly expressed while CES2 is highly expressed, but the CES expression pattern in Caco-2 cells is the opposite. In this study, we generated CYP3A4-POR-UGT1A1-CES2 knock-in (KI) and CES1 knock-out (KO) Caco-2 (genome-edited Caco-2) cells using a PITCh system. Genome-edited Caco-2 cells were shown to express functional CYP3A4, POR, UGT1A1 and CES2 while the expression of the CES1 protein was completely knocked out. We performed transport assays using temocapril. The Papp value of temocapril in genome-edited Caco-2 cells was higher than that in WT Caco-2 cells. Interestingly, the amount of temocaprilat on the apical side in genome-edited Caco-2 cells was lower than that in WT Caco-2 cells. These results suggest that genome-edited Caco-2 cells are more suitable than WT Caco-2 cells as a model for predicting intestinal drug absorption and metabolism.

    Abstract The properties of rare-earth-metal ions in aqueous media often depend on their various hydration modes, which allow them to exist as monomeric or oligomeric species with different coordination numbers. Capturing rare-earth-metal ions in a confined cavity can fix their hydration modes and thus enable their intrinsic properties to be distinguished. However, the isolation of ionic species from bulk aqueous media is not an easy task due to competitive interaction with bulk water. Here, we report the encapsulation of hydrated rare-earth-metal ions in a hydrophobic cavity of a synthetic cage. Cap-like counter anions located at the cage's portals play an important role in capturing the rare-earth metals at a fixed position via electrostatic interactions. Preferential encapsulation of early lanthanoid (III) ions was observed even though all the rare-earth metals have the same hydration number and geometry, as visualized by the competitive inclusion of a dye molecule. Accordingly, the early lanthanoid ion was selectively extracted from a mixture of two rare-earth-metal ions.

    Abstract Introduction: Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is an extremely rare and aggressive tumor, and its clinical characteristics are poorly defined because of its rarity.
    Case presentation: We report a 64-year-old man who presented with upper abdominal pain and weight loss. Computed tomography revealed a 15 cm left adrenal tumor compressing the pancreas ventrally and a tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava (IVC) originating from the left renal vein. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography revealed
    Conclusion: This report of a rare case of ACC involving the pancreas with tumor thrombus extension to the IVC stresses that this combination of conditions does not preclude radical surgery. However, more data are needed regarding chemotherapy and radiotherapy, as well as relapse treatment, and further research on ACC is essential for a favorable prognosis.

    Abstract Background: Factor Xa inhibitors are direct oral anticoagulants that are extremely useful in clinical applications, safe, and do not require dose adjustment. It is desirable to be able to monitor their effects in the event of hemorrhagic complications requiring neutralization. However, it is difficult to monitor their activity and neutralization using conventional coagulation tests.
    Case presentation: We report three patients taking factor Xa inhibitors who underwent rotational thromboelastography (ROTEM) monitoring before and after neutralization with andexanet alfa. All three patients had hemorrhagic complications that required neutralization of their factor Xa inhibitors using andexanet alfa. One ROTEM parameter, the EXTEM clotting time (EXTEM-CT), was immediately shortened after andexanet alfa bolus administration, without subsequent extension of the EXTEM-CT assessed 4 h after the bolus dose.
    Conclusion: ROTEM parameters, particularly EXTEM-CT, might be useful for monitoring neutralization of factor Xa inhibitors.

    Abstract In the practical scale of cyanobacterial cultivation, the golden algae Poterioochromonas malhamensis is a well-known predator that causes devastating damage to the culture, referred to as pond crash. The establishment and maintenance of monoculture conditions are ideal for large-scale cultures. However, this is a difficult challenge because microbial contamination is unavoidable in practical-scale culture facilities. In the present study, we unexpectedly observed the pond crash phenomenon during the pilot-scale cultivation of Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 using a 100-L photobioreactor. This was due to the contamination with P. malhamensis, which probably originated from residual fouling. Interestingly, we found that S.elongatus PCC 7942 can alter its morphological structure when subjected to continuous grazing pressure from predators, resulting in cells that were more than 100 times longer than those of the wild-type strain. These hyper-elongated S.elongatus PCC 7942 cells had mutations in the genes encoding FtsZ or Ftn2 which are involved in bacterial cell division. Importantly, the elongated phenotype remained stable during cultivation, enabling S.elongatus PCC 7942 to thrive and resist grazing. The cultivation of the elongated S.elongatus PCC 7942 mutant strain in a 100-L pilot-scale photobioreactor under non-sterile conditions resulted in increased cyanobacterial biomass without encountering pond crash. This study demonstrates an efficient strategy for cyanobacterial cell culture in practical-scale bioreactors without the need for extensive decontamination or sterilization of the growth medium and culture facility, which can contribute to economically viable cultivation and bioprocessing of microalgae.
