    Abstract Calmodulin-like skin protein (CLSP) inhibits Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related neurotoxicity. The activity of CLSP is reduced in AD. To restore the CLSP activity, we developed a hybrid peptide named CLSPCOL, consisting of CLSP(1-61) and the collagen-homologous region (COL) of adiponectin. It was previously shown that the CLSPCOL-mediated restoration of the reduced CLSP activity alleviated memory impairment and neuronal synaptic loss in

    Abstract A GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene is linked to the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) (C9-ALS/FTD). Unconventional translation of the hexanucleotide repeat expansion generates five dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs). The molecular mechanism underlying the DPR-linked neurotoxicity is under investigation. In this study, using cell-based models, we show that poly-proline-arginine DPR (poly-PR), the most neurotoxic DPR in vitro, binds to adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (ADAR)1p110 and ADAR2 and inhibits their RNA editing activity. We further show that poly-PR impairs cellular stress response that is mediated by ADAR1p110. These results together suggest that the poly-PR-mediated inhibition of the ADAR activity contributes to C9-ALS/FTD-linked neurotoxicity.

    Abstract Humanin is a 24-amino acid, secreted bioactive peptide that prevents various types of cell death and improves some types of cell dysfunction. Humanin inhibits neuronal cell death that is caused by a familial Alzheimer's disease (AD)-linked gene via binding to the heterotrimeric Humanin receptor (htHNR). This suggests that Humanin may play a protective role in AD-related pathogenesis. Calmodulin-like skin protein (CLSP) has recently been identified as a physiological agonist of htHNR with 10(5)-fold more potent anti-cell death activity than Humanin. Humanin has also shown to have protective effects against some metabolic disorders. In this review, the broad range of functions of Humanin and the functions of CLSP that have been characterized thus far are summarized.

    Abstract Malignant mesotheliomas (MMs) are aggressive therapy-resistant tumors that generally have a poor prognosis. We previously reported the establishment of four new monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for the diagnosis and treatment of MM. In this report, we characterized one of these antibodies, JMAM-1. The molecules whose antibodies were calibrated were picked up, transfected assuming CD10, and elucidated by fluorescence activated cell sorter. Survival experiments were performed using tumor-bearing mice model. JMAM-1 mAb was found to bind with CD10 antigen. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed a small but prolonged survival effect. JMAM-1 mAb-treated MSTO-211H cells showed increased cell cycle arrest involved by cyclin-dependent-kinase. JMAM-1 antibody has cytostatic effect and may be a candidate for the treatment of MM. Among mesothelioma, CD10-positive cases have been reported to have a poorer prognosis than negative cases, which can be used as a tool for diagnosis.

    Abstract Various oxatomide derivatives were designed and synthesized to develop novel P2X<sub>7</sub> receptor (P2X<sub>7</sub>R) antagonists. Evaluation for in-vitro P2X<sub>7</sub>R antagonist assay showed that DPM-piperazine moiety of oxatomide was required to maintain an inhibitory activity. The structure of both alkyl chains and aromatic head groups strongly affected P2X<sub>7</sub>R inhibitory activity, and the analogue, with C4-type saturated alkyl chain and a non-substituted or fluorine-substituted indole, was 7.3 to 6.4 times more potent as a P2X<sub>7</sub>R antagonist than oxatomide.

    Abstract Impact of the stent expansion index (EXPI) in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for unprotected left main distal bifurcation lesions (ULMD) has been not completely understood especially in current-generation drug-eluting stent (cDES) era. We evaluated the impact of EXPI on clinical outcomes after PCI with cDES for ULMD. We identified 342 patients treated with cDES for ULMD and postintervention intravascular ultrasound between January 2010 and December 2019. In this study, the ratio of minimum stent area (MSA) to reference vessel area at the MSA site was adopted to assess the stent expansion. We defined the patients with the first and second tertile as low-intermediate EXPI group and those with the third tertile as high EXPI group and compared the clinical outcomes between both groups. The primary end point was target lesion failure (TLF). TLF was defined as a composite of cardiac death, target lesion revascularization (TLR) ,and myocardial infarction. The MSA was located in the ostium of left anterior descending coronary artery in most cases (318 of 342 patients; 93.0%). There were no significant differences between both groups in the baseline clinical, lesion, and procedural characteristics. The high EXPI group had lower TLF rate than the low-intermediate EXPI group (10.2% vs 19.9%, log-rank p = 0.033). In conclusion, this is the first report that the higher ratio of MSA to reference vessel area at the MSA site, which was defined as stent EXPI, was associated with more favorable clinical outcomes after PCI for ULMD.
