    Abstract Obesity and metabolic disorders caused by alterations in lipid metabolism are major health issues in developed, affluent societies. Adipose tissue is the only organ that stores lipids and prevents lipotoxicity in other organs. Mature adipocytes can affect themselves and distant metabolism-related tissues by producing various adipokines, including adiponectin and leptin. The engulfment adaptor phosphotyrosine-binding domain-containing 1 (GULP1) regulates intracellular trafficking of glycosphingolipids and cholesterol, suggesting its close association with lipid metabolism. However, the role of GULP1 in adipocytes remains unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the function of GULP1 in adipogenesis, glucose uptake, and the insulin signaling pathway in adipocytes. A 3T3-L1 cell line with Gulp1 knockdown (shGulp1) and a 3T3-L1 control group (U6) were established. Changes in shGulp1 cells due to GULP1 deficiency were examined and compared to those in U6 cells using microarray analysis. Glucose uptake was monitored via insulin stimulation in shGulp1 and U6 cells using a 2-NBDG glucose uptake assay, and the insulin signaling pathway was investigated by western blot analysis. Adipogenesis was significantly delayed, lipid metabolism was altered, and several adipogenesis-related genes were downregulated in shGulp1 cells compared to those in U6 cells. Microarray analysis revealed significant inhibition of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor signaling in shGulp1 cells compared with U6 cells. The production and secretion of adiponectin as well as the expression of adiponectin receptor were decreased in shGulp1 cells. In particular, compared with U6 cells, glucose uptake via insulin stimulation was significantly decreased in shGulp1 cells through the disturbance of ERK1/2 phosphorylation. This is the first study to identify the role of GULP1 in adipogenesis and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake by adipocytes, thereby providing new insights into the differentiation and functions of adipocytes and the metabolism of lipids and glucose, which can help better understand metabolic diseases.

    Abstract Chondrocyte differentiation is crucial for cartilage formation. However, the complex processes and mechanisms coordinating chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation remain incompletely understood. Here, we report a novel function of the adaptor protein Gulp1 in chondrocyte differentiation. Gulp1 expression is upregulated during chondrogenic differentiation. Gulp1 knockdown in chondrogenic ATDC5 cells reduces the expression of chondrogenic and hypertrophic marker genes during differentiation. Furthermore, Gulp1 knockdown impairs cell growth arrest during chondrocyte differentiation and reduces the expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21. The activation of the TGF-β/SMAD2/3 pathway, which is associated with p21 expression in chondrocytes, is impaired in Gulp1 knockdown cells. Collectively, these results demonstrate that Gulp1 contributes to cell growth arrest and chondrocyte differentiation by modulating the TGF-β/SMAD2/3 pathway.

    Abstract Aquaponics (AP) and biofloc technology (BFT) systems rely heavily on bacterial communities to break down organic matter and cycle nutrients that are essential for fish and plant growth. The functional roles of bacterial communities in aquaculture systems are critical to their sustainable operation. Currently, the research on the combination of BFT and AP systems called FLOCponics (FP) is lacking, thereby hindering our ability to optimize their performance. Here, several characteristics (productivity of fish and crops, physicochemical properties of water, and bacterial community) in FP systems cultivating Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) and leaf lettuce Caipira (Lactuca sativa) were compared to those in the BFT system. Additionally, the effect of fish density on the FP system was investigated. The results indicated that the FP system was more productive than the BFT system. Fish growth rate was highest in the FP system (52.6%), and the average body weight of eels was 168.2 ± 26.8 g in the FP system compared to 140.3 ± 27.0 g in the control (BFT, 5 kg/m²). However, increasing fish density resulted in lower growth rates, with a growth rate of 20.6% observed in the high-density (20 kg/m²) experimental group. The bacterial composition was also significantly different between the systems and fish densities, suggesting that bacterial communities may be closely related to the performance of the aquaponics system.

    Abstract Prior research on cross-cultural negotiation has emphasized the cognitive and the behavioral elements. This study takes a different perspective and presents a motivation–emotion model of cross-cultural negotiation. We propose that the cultural differences in chronic regulatory focus will lead to cultural biases in emotion recognition, which in turn will affect negotiation behaviors. People are inclined to perceive and behave in ways that enhance regulatory fit. Westerners and East Asians, who each have different chronic regulatory focus, are likely to interpret the negotiation situation differently in order to increase their regulatory fit. Specifically, this study proposes that when the emotion of the opponent is ambiguous, people from different cultural backgrounds may show cultural biases in emotion recognition, concentrating on the emotion that fits their chronic regulatory focus. Drawing on the Emotion as Social Information (EASI) model, this study discusses how these cultural biases in emotion recognition can affect people’s negotiation behaviors. Finally, some possible moderators of the motivation–emotion model including power and emotion recognition accuracy are suggested to promote sustainable practices in cross-cultural negotiation.

    Abstract Phosphatidylserine is a membrane phospholipid that is localized to the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane. Phosphatidylserine externalization to the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane is an important signal for various physiological processes, including apoptosis, platelet activation, cell fusion, lymphocyte activation, and regenerative axonal fusion. Stabilin-1 and stabilin-2 are membrane receptors that recognize phosphatidylserine on the cell surface. Here, we discuss the functions of Stabilin-1 and stabilin-2 as phosphatidylserine receptors in apoptotic cell clearance (efferocytosis) and cell fusion, and their ligand-recognition and signaling pathways.

    Abstract Disinfectants containing percarbonate and tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED) has been developed as an effective and relatively safe disinfectant to destroy viruses and bacteria in animals and humans, however it is known that most disinfectants can cause danger to living organisms including humans. In the current study, acute toxicity of the disinfectant composed of percarbonate and TAED was assessed by measuring behavioral responses as well as lethal concentrations of aquatic organisms such as medaka and zebrafish when they were exposed to it. First, the breeding water properties were determined by measuring dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH changes over time up to 96 h in acute toxicity tests using the medaka, and the lethal concentration 50% (LC50, 88.39 ppm) was calculated using the lethality rate of the fish. This experiment was conducted in compliance with traditional OECD guidelines. Second, the assessment of behavioral responses (locomotive activity and swimming speed) with the zebrafish were assessed by the image analysis to capture the images per second for three hours, and the collected data were processed using image analysis to calculate the locomotive activity and swimming speed. Finally, the LC50 (135.76 ppm) of the disinfectant to the fish was also measured after three hours. Overall, the data revealed that LC50 of the disinfectant may be affected by the pH of the water exposed to the disinfectant, not by the DO in the water. In addition, the results from the image analysis indicated that the behavioral responses of the fish can further assess the acute toxicity of the disinfectant at concentrations below the LC50 and there was a relationship (R

    Abstract Myeloid lineage immune cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells, play important roles in the induction of antitumor immunity during the initial stage of the cancer-immunity cycle, eliciting antitumor adaptive immunity by phagocytosing cancer cells and processing cancer-specific antigens, and then presenting these antigens to T cells. During this process, cancer cell phagocytosis can be prevented by inhibitory signals, and the signaling cascades that elicit immune responses against cancer antigens can be inhibited by immunosuppressive myeloid cells in the tumor microenvironment. A number of therapeutic strategies for enhancing cancer cell phagocytosis and promoting antitumor immunity by targeting myeloid lineage cells have recently been developed. Here, we discuss recent advances in cancer immunotherapy that involve the targeting of myeloid lineage immune cells to induce effective antitumor immunity.
