    Abstract Introduction: Due to the ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), it is currently difficult to conduct in-person exercise classes. We thus started the program of an online physical exercise with musical accompaniment. Several interesting differences were found in the characteristics of the online participants compared with our previous in-person interventions.
    Participants and methods: The total number of subjects was 88 (71.2 ± 4.9 years old; male 42, female 46). The questionnaire included the attributes of the participants, the perceived advantages of the exercise classes, and the presence or absence of noticeable changes in cognitive and physical function after participating in the classes.
    Results: The personal computers used to attend the online classes were operated by the participants themselves. About 42% of the participants felt that their sense of day of the week and volition were improved by attending the exercise classes for 3 months. The most frequent answer to the reason for participation was because it was free (81.8%). The second most frequent answer was because the classes were held online (75.0%). Almost half of the participants answered that they would not participate if it was held in person because of the risk of COVID-19 infection (75.0%) and the difficulty getting to the site where the exercise classes were held (59.1%).
    Conclusion: Online physical exercise with musical accompaniment improved the perceived orientation, volition, activity, exercise habits, and health condition in 30-40% of the participants and also stimulated greater participation by males compared to classes held in person.

    Abstract Objective: The spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has limited the implementation of face-to-face non-pharmacological treatment for the prevention of dementia. As a result, online non-pharmacological treatment has become increasingly important. In this study, we used an online conferencing system to implement an online version of a physical exercise program with music, and examined its effect on cognitive function.
    Methods: The participants were 114 healthy older adults [63 men and 51 women; mean age of 70.7 years (standard deviation = 4.6)]. Seventy-five participants were allocated to the physical exercise with music group (60 min, once a week, total 20 sessions), while the remaining 39 participants were assigned to the control group, and only underwent the examinations. In the physical exercise with music group, we performed neuropsychological examinations and brain tests both before and after the exercise program. Neuropsychological tests included the Mini-Mental State Examination, Raven's Colored Progressive Matrices (RCPM), the Rivermead Behavioral Memory Test, graphic imitation, word fluency (WF) (animal names and initial sounds), and the Trail Making Test-A/B. As an assessment of brain function, we developed an online examination of subtle cognitive decline, including tests of number and word memory, spatial grasp, the N-back task, and change inference.
    Results: In the N-back task, the physical exercise with music group improved significantly relative to the control group (
    Discussion: The present findings suggest that the online version of the physical exercise with music program improved working memory, which mainly involves the frontal lobe.

    Abstract Nasu-Hakola disease (NHD) is a rare intractable autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by pathological bone fractures and progressive dementia owing to multifocal bone cysts and leukoencephalopathy, caused by various genetic mutations of either DAP12 or TREM2. Loss-of-function of TREM2-DAP12, constituting a signaling complex on osteoclasts and microglia, plays a central role in the pathogenesis of NHD. Recently, NHD has been recognized as the disease entity designated "microgliopathy". However, at present, TREM2-specific ligands in microglia and the precise molecular mechanism underlying leukoencephalopathy remain to be investigated in order to establish an effective molecular targeted therapy for NHD.

    Abstract Background: The transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) acts as a central regulator of immune response, stress response, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. Aberrant regulation of NF-κB function triggers development of cancers, metabolic diseases, and autoimmune diseases. We attempted to characterize a global picture of the NF-κB target gene network relevant to the immunopathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS).
    Methods: We identified the comprehensive set of 918 NF-κB p65 binding sites on protein-coding genes from chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by deep sequencing (ChIP-Seq) dataset of TNFα-stimulated human B lymphoblastoid cells. The molecular network was studied by a battery of pathway analysis tools of bioinformatics.
    Results: The GenomeJack genome viewer showed that NF-κB p65 binding sites were accumulated in promoter (35.5%) and intronic (54.9%) regions with an existence of the NF-κB consensus sequence motif. A set of 52 genes (5.7%) corresponded to known NF-κB targets by database search. KEGG, PANTHER, and Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA) revealed that the NF-κB p65 target gene network is linked to regulation of immune functions and oncogenesis, including B cell receptor signaling, T cell activation pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling, and apoptosis signaling, and molecular mechanisms of cancers. KeyMolnet indicated an involvement of the complex crosstalk among core transcription factors in the NF-κB p65 target gene network. Furthermore, the set of NF-κB p65 target genes included 10 genes among 98 MS risk alleles and 49 molecules among 709 MS brain lesion-specific proteins.
    Conclusions: These results suggest that aberrant regulation of NF-κB-mediated gene expression, by inducing dysfunction of diverse immune functions, is closely associated with development and progression of MS.

    Abstract The collective intermolecular dynamics of protein and water molecules, which overlap in the sub-terahertz (THz) frequency region, are relevant for expressing protein functions but remain largely unknown. This study used dielectric relaxation (DR) measurements to investigate how externally applied sub-THz electromagnetic fields perturb the rapid collective dynamics and influence the considerably slower chemical processes in protein-water systems. We analyzed an aqueous lysozyme solution, whose hydration is not thermally equilibrated. By detecting time-lapse differences in microwave DR, we demonstrated that sub-THz irradiation gradually decreases the dielectric permittivity of the lysozyme solution by reducing the orientational polarization of water molecules. Comprehensive analysis combining THz and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies suggested that the gradual decrease in the dielectric permittivity is not induced by heating but is due to a slow shift toward the hydrophobic hydration structure in lysozyme. Our findings can be used to investigate hydration-mediated protein functions based on sub-THz irradiation.

    Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of endogenous small noncoding RNAs, mediate posttranscriptional regulation of protein-coding genes by binding chiefly to the 3' untranslated region of target mRNAs, leading to translational inhibition, mRNA destabilization or degradation. A single miRNA concurrently downregulates hundreds of target mRNAs designated "targetome", and thereby fine-tunes gene expression involved in diverse cellular functions, such as development, differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis and metabolism. Recently, we characterized the molecular network of the whole human miRNA targetome by using bioinformatics tools for analyzing molecular interactions on the comprehensive knowledgebase. We found that the miRNA targetome regulated by an individual miRNA generally constitutes the biological network of functionally-associated molecules in human cells, closely linked to pathological events involved in cancers and neurodegenerative diseases. We also identified a collaborative regulation of gene expression by transcription factors and miRNAs in cancer-associated miRNA targetome networks. This review focuses on the workflow of molecular network analysis of miRNA targetome in silico. We applied the workflow to two representative datasets, composed of miRNA expression profiling of adult T cell leukemia (ATL) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), retrieved from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) repository. The results supported the view that miRNAs act as a central regulator of both oncogenesis and neurodegeneration.

    Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of small noncoding RNAs that regulate translational repression of target mRNAs. The vast majority of presently identified miRNAs are expressed in the brain where they fine-tune the expression of a wide range of target molecules essential for neuronal and glial development, differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis and metabolism. Aberrant expression and dysfunction of brain-enriched miRNAs induce development of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). Because a single miRNA concurrently downregulates hundreds of target mRNAs, the set of miRNA target genes coregulated by an individual miRNA generally constitutes the biologically integrated network of functionally associated molecules. Recent advances in systems biology enable us to characterize the global molecular network of experimentally validated targets for individual miRNAs by using pathway analysis tools of bioinformatics endowed with comprehensive knowledgebase. This review is conducted to summarize accumulating studies focused on aberrant miRNA expression in AD brains, and to propose the systems biological view that abnormal regulation of cell cycle progression as a result of deregulation of miRNA target networks plays a central role in the pathogenesis of AD.

    Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of small noncoding RNAs that regulate translational repression of multiple target mRNAs. The miRNAs in a whole cell regulate greater than 30% of all protein-coding genes. The vast majority of presently identified miRNAs are expressed in the brain in a spatially and temporally controlled manner. They play a key role in neuronal development, differentiation, and synaptic plasticity. However, at present, the pathological implications of deregulated miRNA expression in neurodegenerative diseases remain largely unknown. This review will briefly summarize recent studies that focus attention on aberrant miRNA expression in Alzheimer's disease brains.
