    Abstract In this review, we summarize our findings on microRNA-210 (miR-210) and the target gene, and discuss their significance in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). MicroRNAs are evolutionarily conserved small noncoding RNAs (20-23 nucleotides) that bind to complementary sequences in the 3' UTR of target mRNAs and regulate gene expression by the cleavage of target mRNAs and/or translational inhibition. MicroRNAs play important roles in the initiation and progression of cancer, and it has been shown that the expression of some microRNAs is altered in malignancies. Carcinomas are derived from epithelial cells, and poor prognosis in patients with carcinoma is associated with the disruption of characteristics of differentiated epithelial cells, such as cell junctions and polarity. Here, we identified miR-210 as one of the microRNAs that is markedly differentially expressed during the process of epithelial differentiation, though the clinical roles of miR-210 in carcinomas remained unknown. We show that the expression of miR-210 is downregulated in ESCC and derived cell lines. Marked decreases in the level of miR-210 were observed especially in poorly differentiated carcinomas. Moreover, we found that miR-210 inhibits cancer cell survival and proliferation. Finally, we identified fibroblast growth factor receptor-like 1 (FGFRL1) as a target gene of miR-210 in ESCC, and demonstrated that FGFRL1 accelerates cancer cell proliferation. Taken together, our findings show an important role for miR-210 as a tumor suppressive microRNA with effects on cancer cell proliferation.

    Abstract The ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are known to have beneficial effects on health and diseases, and hence their intake is encouraged. However, it remains unknown as to how ω3 PUFAs affect female reproduction processes, in which ω6 PUFA-derived prostaglandin (PG) E₂ and PGF₂α play crucial roles. We therefore compared female reproductive performance between ω3 PUFA-biased linseed oil diet-fed (Lin) mice and ω6 PUFA-biased soybean oil diet-fed (Soy) mice. In Lin mice, the uterine levels of arachidonic acid (AA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) were 0.42 fold and 16 fold of those in Soy mice, respectively, with the EPA/AA ratio being 0.7 (vs 0.02 in Soy mice). Lin mice showed no alterations in any of the fertility indexes, including luteolysis and parturition. The uterine PG synthesis profiles of Lin mice were similar to those of Soy mice, but the levels of PGF₂α and PGE₂ were 50% of those in Soy mice, as a result of the increased EPA/AA ratio. PGF₃α and PGE₃ were undetectable in the uterine tissues of Soy and Lin mice. Interestingly, in Lin mice, ‘luteolytic’ PGF₂α synthesis was considerably maintained even in the ω6 PUFA-reduced condition. These results suggest the existence of an elaborate mechanism securing PGF₂α synthesis to a level that is sufficient for triggering luteolysis and parturition, even under ω6 PUFA-reduced conditions.

    Abstract Myofibroblasts cause tissue fibrosis by producing extracellular matrix proteins, such as collagens. Humoral factors like TGF-β, and matrix stiffness are important for collagen production by myofibroblasts. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating their ability to produce collagen remain poorly characterised. Here, we show that vestigial-like family member 3 (VGLL3) is specifically expressed in myofibroblasts from mouse and human fibrotic hearts and promotes collagen production. Further, substrate stiffness triggers VGLL3 translocation into the nucleus through the integrin β1-Rho-actin pathway. In the nucleus, VGLL3 undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation via its low-complexity domain and is incorporated into non-paraspeckle NONO condensates containing EWS RNA-binding protein 1 (EWSR1). VGLL3 binds EWSR1 and suppresses miR-29b, which targets collagen mRNA. Consistently, cardiac fibrosis after myocardial infarction is significantly attenuated in Vgll3-deficient mice, with increased miR-29b expression. Overall, our results reveal an unrecognised VGLL3-mediated pathway that controls myofibroblasts' collagen production, representing a novel therapeutic target for tissue fibrosis.

    Abstract In vertebrates, female receptivity to male courtship is highly dependent on ovarian secretion of estrogens and prostaglandins. We recently identified female-specific neurons in the medaka (Oryzias latipes) preoptic area that express Npba, a neuropeptide mediating female sexual receptivity, in response to ovarian estrogens. Here we show by transcriptomic analysis that these neurons express a multitude of neuropeptides, in addition to Npba, in an ovarian-dependent manner, and we thus termed them female-specific, sex steroid-responsive peptidergic (FeSP) neurons. Our results further revealed that FeSP neurons express a prostaglandin E

    Abstract Prostaglandins (PGs) have long been known to play roles in various processes of female reproduction; however, the molecular mechanisms therein remained unsolved until recently. This review summarizes the recent progress towards understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying PG actions in fertilization and parturition. A series of studies using EP2-deficient mice demonstrated that after ovulation chemokine signalling in the cumulus cells stimulates integrin activation and cumulus extracellular matrix (ECM) assembly through the RhoA/ROCK/actomyosin pathway, although excessive chemokine signalling disturbs sperm penetration. PGE2-EP2 signalling suppresses such a chemokine signalling and stimulates cumulus ECM disassembly, which contributes to successful fertilization. A series of studies using FP-deficient mice revealed that PGF(2α)-FP signalling induces parturition at least by terminating progesterone production; however, some other EP signals are likely to be involved in parturition by inducing myometrial contraction. Therefore, it should be clarified as to which EP and/or FP receptor signals are physiologically essential for myometrial contraction and successful parturition.
