    Abstract Abstract This study aimed to verify whether an eHealth-based self-management program can reduce irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptom severity. An open-label simple randomized controlled trial was conducted that compared an intervention group (n = 21) participating in an eHealth self-management program, which involved studying IBS-related information from an established self-help guide followed by in-built quizzes, with a treatment-as-usual group (n = 19) that, except for pharmacotherapy, had no treatment restrictions. Participants were female Japanese university students. The eHealth group received unlimited access to the self-management program for 8 weeks on computers and mobile devices. The primary outcome, participants’ severity of IBS symptoms assessed using the IBS-severity index (IBS-SI), and the secondary outcomes of participants’ quality of life, gut bacteria, and electroencephalography alpha and beta power percentages were measured at baseline and 8 weeks. A significant difference was found in the net change in IBS-SI scores between the eHealth and treatment-as-usual groups, and the former had significantly lower IBS-SI scores following the 8-week intervention than at baseline. Moreover, there was a significant difference in the net change in phylum Cyanobacteria between the eHealth and treatment-as-usual groups. Thus, the eHealth-based self-management program successfully reduced the severity of IBS symptoms.

    Abstract Purpose: Leptomeningeal enhancement (LME) suggests leptomeningeal dissemination (LMD) of tumor cells, which is a complication of end-stage glioblastoma, and is associated with a poor prognosis. However, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) occasionally indicates the disappearance of peri-brainstem LME after surgical resection of glioblastoma. Since preoperative LMD may affect treatment indications, we aimed to analyze the clinical significance of preoperative LME of the brainstem in glioblastoma.
    Methods: We retrospectively collected clinical and radiological data from consecutive patients with glioblastoma and preoperative LME of the brainstem, who were treated at our hospital between 2017 and 2020.
    Results: Among 112 patients with glioblastoma, nine (8%) showed preoperative LME of the brainstem. In comparison with tumors without LME, tumor size was significantly associated with the preoperative LME of the brainstem (p = 0.016). In addition, there was a trend toward significance for a relationship between deep tumor location and preoperative LME of the brainstem (p = 0.058). Notably, among six patients who underwent surgical resection for glioblastoma with LME of the brainstem, four showed significant radiological disappearance of the LME on postoperative MRI. This suggests that the LME did not result from LMD in these cases. Moreover, these four patients lived longer than would be expected from the presence of LMD. However, this LME disappearance was not observed after biopsy or chemoradiotherapy.
    Conclusions: These findings suggest that preoperative LME does not necessarily indicate the presence of untreatable LMD; moreover, LME may disappear after surgical tumor resection. Thus, transient preoperative LME could be attributed to other mechanisms, including impaired venous flow due to intratumoral arteriovenous shunts, which can be resolved by reducing the tumor burden.

    Abstract Background: In vivo investigations with cancer cells have powerful tools to discover cancer progression mechanisms and preclinical candidate drugs. Among these in vivo experimental models, the establishment of highly malignancy cell lines with xenograft has been frequently used. However, few previous researches targeted malignancy-related genes whose protein levels translationally changed. Therefore, this study aimed to identify malignancy-related genes which contributed to cancer progression and changed at the protein level in the in vivo selected cancer cell lines.
    Methods: We established the high malignancy breast cancer cell line (LM05) by orthotopic xenograft as an in vivo selection method. To explore the altered genes by translational or post-translational regulation, we analyzed the protein production by western blotting in the highly malignant breast cancer cell line. Functional analyses of the altered genes were performed by in vitro and in vivo experiments. To reveal the molecular mechanisms of the regulation with protein level, we evaluated post-translational modification by immunoprecipitation. In addition, we evaluated translational production by click reaction-based purification of nascent protein.
    Results: As a result, NF-κB inducing kinase (NIK) increased at the protein level and promoted the nuclear localization of NF-κB2 (p52) and RelB in the highly malignant breast cancer cell line. The functional analyses indicated the NIK upregulation contributed to tumor malignancy via cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) attraction and partially anti-apoptotic activities. Additionally, the immunoprecipitation experiment revealed that the ubiquitination of NIK decreased in LM05 cells. The decline in NIK ubiquitination was attributed to the translational downregulation of cIAP1.
    Conclusions: Our study identified a dysregulated mechanism of NIK production by the suppression of NIK post-modification and cIAP1 translation. The aberrant NIK accumulation promoted tumor growth in the highly malignant breast cancer cell line.

    Abstract NF-κB was first identified in 1986 as a B cell-specific transcription factor inducing immunoglobulin κ light chain expression. Subsequent studies revealed that NF-κB plays important roles in development, organogenesis, immunity, inflammation, and neurological functions by spatiotemporally regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis in several cell types. Furthermore, studies on the signal pathways that activate NF-κB led to the discovery of TRAF family proteins with E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, which function downstream of the receptor. This discovery led to the proposal of an entirely new signaling mechanism concept, wherein K63-ubiquitin chains act as a scaffold for the signaling complex to activate downstream kinases. This concept has revolutionized ubiquitin studies by revealing the importance of the nonproteolytic functions of ubiquitin not only in NF-κB signaling but also in a variety of other biological systems. TRAF6 is the most diverged among the TRAF family proteins, and our studies uncovered its notable physiological and pathological functions.

    Abstract This case involved a 65-year-old woman, who had been suffered from weakness in both legs for 10 years. She had not been diagnosed of dystrophia myotonica type 1 (DM1) despite her son's diagnosis of DM and her distinct facial features and gait anomaly. During her son's recent clinical visit, she was finally suspected of having DM. She was sent to our institution, where a distinct muscle atrophy and grip myotonia were observed and a genetical examination was performed. The sequencing data confirmed her diagnosis of DM1 due to the distinct 230-900 CTG repeats found in the dystrophia myotonica protein kinase gene 3' untranslated region. A brain MRI revealed an abnormal lesion with irregular ring-enhancement at the right temporal lobe. Because of the steady growth of the lesion during one month observation, a surgical intervention was performed in our institution. The histopathological examination gave a diagnosis of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The clinical management of the patient required special cares during the perioperative periods due to the distinct pathological manifestation of DM. The risk of developing cancer in DM patients has been estimated about twice as much as general population. Since GBM developed in the DM patient is rarely reported, we present this rare case with a few insights: the difficulties of the clinical management of DM patients under the perioperative stress; the pathological contribution of DM to the malignant transformation of the glial cells.

    Abstract N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-retinamide (4-HPR) inhibits the dihydroceramide Δ4-desaturase 1 (DEGS1) enzymatic activity. We previously reported that 4-HPR suppresses the severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein-mediated membrane fusion through a decrease in membrane fluidity in a DEGS1-independent manner. However, the precise mechanism underlying the inhibition of viral entry by 4-HPR remains unclear. In this study, we examined the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the inhibition of membrane fusion by 4-HPR because 4-HPR is a well-known ROS-inducing agent. Intracellular ROS generation was found to be increased in the target cells in a cell-cell fusion assay after 4-HPR treatment, which was attenuated by the addition of the antioxidant, α-tocopherol (TCP). The reduction in membrane fusion susceptibility by 4-HPR treatment in the cell-cell fusion assay was alleviated by TCP addition. Furthermore, fluorescence recovery after photobleaching analysis showed that the lateral diffusion of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein and SARS CoV-2 receptor was reduced by 4-HPR treatment and restored by TCP addition. These results indicate that the decrease in SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-mediated membrane fusion and membrane fluidity by 4-HPR was due to ROS generation. Taken together, these results demonstrate that ROS production is associated with the 4-HPR inhibitory effect on SARS-CoV-2 entry.
