    Abstract Helical amphipathic peptides containing cationic and hydrophobic amino acid residues can possess potent antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In this study, several amphipathic peptides with enhanced helical structures containing nonproteinogenic amino acids were designed, and the relationships between the antimicrobial activity, hemolytic activity, and cytotoxicity were evaluated. In particular, the effect on the antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity of the number and position of stapling structures introduced into the sequence was investigated. Peptide

    Abstract Stress has garnered significant attention as a prominent risk factor for inflammation-related diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, the precise mechanisms underlying stress-driven CVDs remain elusive, thereby impeding the development of preventive and therapeutic strategies. To explore the correlation between plasma lipid metabolites and human depressive states, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) based analysis of plasma and the self-rating depression (SDS) scale questionnaire were employed. We also used a mouse model with restraint stress to study its effects on plasma lipid metabolites and stenotic vascular remodeling following carotid ligation. In vitro functional and mechanistic studies were performed using macrophages, endothelial cells, and neutrophil cells. We revealed a significant association between depressive state and reduced plasma levels of 4-oxoDHA, a specific omega-3 fatty acid metabolite biosynthesized by 5-lipoxygenase (LO), mainly in neutrophils. In mice, restraint stress decreased plasma 4-oxoDHA levels and exacerbated stenotic vascular remodeling, ameliorated by 4-oxoDHA supplementation. 4-oxoDHA enhanced Nrf2-HO-1 pathways, exerting anti-inflammatory effects on endothelial cells and macrophages. One of the stress hormones, noradrenaline, reduced 4-oxoDHA and the degraded 5-LO in neutrophils through the proteasome system, facilitated by dopamine D2-like receptor activation. Our study proposed circulating 4-oxoDHA levels as a stress biomarker and supplementation of 4-oxoDHA as a novel therapeutic approach for controlling stress-related vascular inflammation.

    Abstract Alginate-assimilating bacteria degrade alginate into an unsaturated monosaccharide, which is converted into 4-deoxy-L-erythro-5-hexoseulose uronic acid (DEHU). DEHU is reduced to 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-gluconate by a DEHU-specific reductase using NAD(P)H. This is followed by pyruvate production via the Entner-Doudoroff pathway. Previously, we identified FlRed as a DEHU reductase in an alginate-assimilating bacterium, Flavobacterium sp. strain UMI-01. Here, we showed that FlRed can also catalyze the oxidation of DEHU with NAD

    Abstract Nishiyama et al. report the biochemical pathway for the conversion of DEHU to α-ketoglutarate in the alginate-assimilating marine bacterium Flavobacterium sp. strain UMI-01. They show that a parallel oxidative pathway besides the reductive route is possible, and provide evidence that this pathway might be conserved in other alginate-degrading bacteria.

    Abstract We describe the case a 92-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital with choledocholithiasis and periampullary diverticulum (PAD). Due to PAD, clear visualization of the ampulla of Vater could not be obtained. Although selective bile duct cannulation was difficult, a 7-Fr plastic stent was placed during the first session. Fifteen days later, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was retried using traction devices, and the papilla became visible. Endoscopic sphincterotomy and stone extraction were performed without any complications. The application of traction devices in endoscopic submucosal dissection may be a promising technique in cases in which endoscopic biliary intervention is difficult due to PAD.

    Abstract In the heart, TRPM4 is most abundantly distributed in the conduction system. Previously, a single mutation, 'E7K', was identified in its distal N-terminus to cause conduction disorder because of enhanced cell-surface expression. It remains, however, unclear how this expression increase leads to conduction failure rather than abnormally enhanced cardiac excitability. To address this issue theoretically, we mathematically formulated the gating kinetics of the E7K-mutant TRPM4 channel by a combined use of voltage jump analysis and ionomycin-perforated cell-attached recording technique and incorporated the resultant rate constants of opening and closing into a human Purkinje fiber single-cell action potential (AP) model (Trovato model) to perform 1D-cable simulations. The results from TRPM4 expressing HEK293 cells showed that as compared with the wild-type, the open state is much preferred in the E7K mutant with increased voltage-and Ca

    Abstract A 42-year-old Japanese woman with end-stage renal failure due to hypertension presented with a systolic blood pressure of 160-200 mmHg despite treatment with 4 different antihypertensive agents. The plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) and plasma renin activity (PRA) were elevated. Adrenal vein sampling suggested bilateral excessive aldosterone secretion, whereas adrenocortical scintigraphy showed right-dominant accumulation. Open bilateral nephrectomy and right adrenalectomy improved the systolic blood pressure, PAC, and PRA. A pathological examination revealed zona glomerulosa hyperplasia but not microaldosteronoma. This report shows that bilateral nephrectomy, not unilateral adrenalectomy, is a potentially effective treatment option for resistant hypertension with an elevated renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in hemodialysis patients.

    Abstract In the heart, TRPM4 is most abundantly distributed in the conduction system. Previously, a single mutation, ‘E7K’, was identified in its distal N-terminus to cause conduction disorder because of enhanced cell-surface expression. It remains, however, unclear how this expression increase leads to conduction failure rather than abnormally enhanced cardiac excitability. To address this issue theoretically, we mathematically formulated the gating kinetics of the E7K-mutant TRPM4 channel by a combined use of voltage jump analysis and ionomycin-perforated cell-attached recording technique and incorporated the resultant rate constants of opening and closing into a human Purkinje fiber single-cell action potential (AP) model (Trovato model) to perform 1D-cable simulations. The results from TRPM4 expressing HEK293 cells showed that as compared with the wild-type, the open state is much preferred in the E7K mutant with increased voltage-and Ca 2+ -sensitivities. These theoretical predictions were confirmed by power spectrum and single channel analyses of expressed wild-type and E7K-mutant TRPM4 channels. In our modified Trovato model, the facilitated opening of the E7K mutant channel markedly prolonged AP duration with concomitant depolarizing shifts of the resting membrane potential in a manner dependent on the channel density (or maximal activity). This was, however, little evident in the wild-type TRPM4 channel. Moreover, 1D-cable simulations with the modified Trovato model revealed that increasing the density of E7K (but not of wild-type) TRPM4 channels progressively reduced AP conduction velocity eventually culminating in complete conduction block. These results clearly suggest the brady-arrhythmogenicity of the E7K mutant channel which likely results from its pathologically enhanced activity.
