    Abstract Stimulator of interferon genes (STING), a homodimeric membrane receptor localized in the endoplasmic reticulum, plays a pivotal role in signaling innate immune responses. Inhibitors and proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) targeting STING are promising compounds for addressing autoinflammatory and autoimmune disorders. In this study, we used a minimal covalent handle recently developed as the ligand portion of an E3 ligase. The engineered STING degrader with a low molecular weight compound covalently binds to STING and E3 ligase. Degrader 2 showed sustained STING degradation activity at lower concentrations (3 µM, 48 h, about 75 % degradation) compared to a reported STING PROTAC, SP23. This discovery holds significance for its potential in treating autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases, offering promising avenues for developing more efficacious STING-targeted therapies.

    Abstract Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3-transforming acidic coiled-coil containing protein 3 (FGFR3-TACC3), which has been identified in many cancers such as glioblastoma and bladder cancer, is a potent oncogenic fusion protein that induces constitutive activation of FGFR signaling, resulting in uncontrolled cell proliferation. Although several tyrosine kinase inhibitors against FGFR are currently under development, resistance to such types of inhibitors in patients has become a concern. In this study, a chimeric molecule SNIPER(TACC3)-11 (5a) was developed and found to reduce FGFR3-TACC3 levels effectively. Compound 5a conjugated KHS108 (a TACC3 ligand) to an LCL161 derivative (11) (an inhibitor of apoptosis protein [IAP] ligand) with a PEG linker (n = 2). Mechanistical analysis showed that cellular IAP1 was required for the reduction of FGFR3-TACC3 levels. Consistent with the decrease in FGFR3-TACC3 levels, compound 5a suppressed the growth of FGFR3-TACC3 positive cells. Thus, compound 5a is a candidate therapeutic with a novel drug modality against cancers that exhibit FGFR3-TACC3-dependent proliferation and exerts pharmacological effects distinct from FGFR3 kinase inhibitors because it lacks substructures crucial for kinase inhibition.

    Abstract Processed foods containing soybean or maize are subject to labeling regulations pertinent to genetically modified (GM) foods in Japan. To confirm the reliability of the labeling procedure of GM foods, the Japanese standard analytical methods (standard methods) using real-time PCR technique have been established. Although certain DNA extraction protocols are stipulated as standard in these methods, the use of other protocols confirmed to be equivalent to the existing ones was permitted. In this study, the equivalence testing of the techniques employed for DNA extraction from processed foods containing soybean or corn was conducted. In this study, the equivalence testing of the techniques employed for DNA extraction from processed foods containing soybean or maize was conducted. The silica membrane-based DNA extraction kits, GM quicker 4 and DNeasy Plant Maxi Kit (Maxi Kit), as an existing method were compared. GM quicker 4 was considered to be equivalent to or better than Maxi Kit.

    Abstract Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) is a type of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-membrane receptor. STING is activated by a ligand binding, which leads to an enhancement of the immune-system response. Therefore, a STING ligand can be used to regulate the immune system in therapeutic strategies. However, the natural (or native) STING ligand, cyclic-di-nucleotide (CDN), is unsuitable for pharmaceutical use because of its susceptibility to degradation by enzymes and its low cell-membrane permeability. In this study, we designed and synthesized CDN derivatives by replacing the sugar-phosphodiester moiety, which is responsible for various problems of natural CDNs, with an amine skeleton. As a result, we identified novel STING ligands that activate or inhibit STING. The cyclic ligand

    Abstract The Japanese Health Ministry recently granted permission for the market distribution of genome-edited (GE) foods, yet there remains a lack of full understanding among consumers regarding this technology. In this study, we conducted a survey to assess the acceptability of GE foods among Japanese consumers and examined the impact of providing information about GE foods on their acceptability. We conducted a web-based survey among 3,408 consumers aged 20-69 years, focusing on three aspects: (1) the commercial availability of GE foods, (2) the consumption of GE foods by others, and (3) your own consumption of GE foods. The survey findings revealed that participants were most accepting of the consumption of GE foods by others, followed by their acceptance of GE foods being commercially available. Notably, participants' acceptance of GE foods increased in all three aspects after they viewed an informative video. The video had a particularly strong impact on participants who fully or partially understood its content, compared to those who did not. Furthermore, regression analyses showed that participants' understanding of two key areas, namely "Why are GE foods important" and "What procedures are in place to ensure the safety of GE foods," played a crucial role in increasing acceptability. Overall, these results indicate that providing information about GE foods to Japanese consumers can effectively enhance their acceptance of such foods. The findings highlight the importance of understanding the benefits and safety measures associated with GE foods in influencing consumer attitudes.

    Abstract A loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP)-mediated screening detection method for genetically modified (GM) papaya was developed targeting the 35S promoter (P35S) of the cauliflower mosaic virus. LAMP products were detected using a Genie II real-time fluorometer. The limit of detection (LOD) was evaluated and found to be ≤0.05% for papaya seeds. We also designed a primer set for the detection of the papaya endogenous reference sequence, chymopapain, and the species-specificity was confirmed. To improve cost-effectiveness, single-stranded tag hybridization (STH) on a chromatography printed-array strip (C-PAS) system, which is a lateral flow DNA chromatography technology, was applied. LAMP amplification was clearly detected by the system at the LOD level, and a duplex detection of P35S and chymopapain was successfully applied. This simple and quick method for the screening of GM papaya will be useful for the prevention of environmental contamination of unauthorized GM crops.

    Abstract Tracheocutaneous fistula and tracheostomy scar are complications associated with the prolonged use of tracheostomy tubes. They have functional and cosmetic problems owing to tracheal tugging during swallowing and easily visible scars. Although many procedures exist to correct this issue, there is no consensus on the optimal surgical technique. Therefore, an ideal surgical procedure was devised. The study was performed on 12 patients between September 2016 and May 2021. All patients had persistent tracheocutaneous fistulas or hypertrophic scars on the neck after tracheostomy. All procedures were performed using a hinged flap and two myocutaneous local flaps. All patients had no complications, and their aesthetics were excellent in postoperative photographs. The scar was better on the straight scar when the flap's skin is denuded than on the VY advancement flap. It should be noted, however, that this procedure can cause the flap to become congested in a short period after head and neck surgery. This procedure is safe, reliable and simple for surgical closure. This was found to produce excellent cosmetic results with no major complications.

As a result, we identified novel STING ligands that activate or inhibit STING. The cyclic ligand 7 , with a cyclic amine structure containing two guanines, was found to have agonistic activity, whereas the linear ligand 12 showed antagonistic activity. In addition, these synthetic ligands were more chemically stable than the natural ligands.
