    Abstract Complement component 8gamma (C8γ), a member of the lipocalin protein family, is suggested to act as a carrier protein for various chemicals. Although C8γ has been identified in both humans and rodents for some time, our understanding of the species differences in its chemical binding properties remains limited. In the present study, with the aim to elucidate the potential role of C8γ as a carrier protein in both humans and mice, we conducted a radioligand binding assay to examine the chemical binding properties of human C8γ (hC8γ) and mouse C8γ (mC8γ). Scatchard analysis revealed that [

    Abstract We experienced four cases of high-risk metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) in which first-line treatment with abiraterone showed a sustained long-term response of over 5 years. We conducted immunohistochemical staining of aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3 (AKR1C3) expression, which associate with poor prognosis of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), and all prostate cancer tissue from four cases showed negative. These results suggested that AKR1C3-negative high-risk mCSPC cases may respond well to first-line treatment with abiraterone. This is the first report describing association of high-risk mCSPC and negative AKR1C3.

    Abstract Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal widely distributed in the environment. Maternal whole-blood Cd levels during pregnancy are positively associated with the risk of early preterm birth. We hypothesized that Cd inhibits trophoblast differentiation, resulting in the development of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and a high risk of early preterm birth. Using the CT27 human trophoblast stem cell line, we found that exposing these cells to 0.1-0.4 µM Cd inhibited their differentiation into extravillous cytotrophoblasts (EVTs). Supporting this finding, we found that expression of the metal-binding protein metallothionein, which suppresses the toxicity of Cd, is low in EVTs. We also found that Cd exposure changes the methylation status of the promoter region of the HLA-G gene, which is specifically expressed in EVTs. Together, these results suggest that Cd inhibits placental formation by suppressing trophoblast differentiation into EVTs. This suppression may underlie the increased risk of gestational hypertension in women with high whole-blood Cd levels.

    Abstract Cadmium (Cd) is an environmental pollutant. Blood Cd levels in pregnant women have been associated with premature births, infant birth size, placenta previa, and placenta accreta. There have been concerns on the reproductive developmental toxicity of Cd. The choriocarcinoma cell line BeWo, a cellular in vitro model for studying syncytial fusion, has been widely used to study the reproductive and developmental toxic effects of pollutants. Here, we examine the inhibitory effect of Cd against forskolin (FSK)-induced BeWo differentiation. Results showed that Cd exposure inhibited the FSK-induced expression of syncytiotrophoblast-related genes LGALS13, ERVFRD1, SDC1, and CGB3. Inhibition of LGALS13 expression was due to the inhibition of the PKA pathway, whereas the inhibition of the other three genes could be due to the inhibition of the other pathways. These findings could help clarify the reproductive and developmental toxicity of Cd.

    Abstract We report the case of a 46-year-old female patient who developed a subacute progression of axial and proximal muscle weakness. Laboratory findings revealed mildly elevated serum creatine kinase levels. No monoclonal gammopathy was detected. A muscle biopsy revealed that she had nemaline myopathy. Serological tests and a lip biopsy revealed Sjögren's syndrome (SjS). We diagnosed her as having sporadic late-onset nemaline myopathy without monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance associated with SjS. Her symptoms improved after methylprednisolone pulse therapy followed by intravenous immunoglobulin therapy. A good response to immunotherapy demonstrates the necessity of making a correct diagnosis, for which a muscle biopsy is required.

    Abstract A 31-year-old Japanese man presented with cerebral and pulmonary cryptococcosis. Cryptococcus gattii (C. gattii) genotype VGIIb was detected in the patient's sputum and cerebrospinal fluid specimens. The serum levels of anti-granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) antibodies were elevated in this patient, which has been associated with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis and is considered a risk factor for C. gattii infection. After undergoing >12 months of antifungal treatments, the patient showed improvements in symptoms and findings on brain and lung imaging. Several Japanese patients who develop C. gattii infection have also been reported; however, most of these patients have been infected outside Japan, as C. gattii infection is rare in Japan. Only one patient with C. gattii genotype VGIIb infection has been reported in Japan, and it is believed that this patient contracted the infection in China. In the present case, our patient has never been outside Japan, indicating that the infection originated in Japan. Our findings suggest that C. gattii might be spreading in Japan. Therefore, patients with positive serum anti-GM-CSF antibodies should be thoroughly monitored for C. gattii infection, even those living in Japan.
