    Abstract Background and purpose: Prior concomitant use of vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) and antiplatelet (AP) therapy increase the hematoma volume and mortality compared with VKA monotherapy in patients with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). However, the prior concomitant use of non-vitamin K oral antagonists (NOACs) and AP has not been clarified.
    Methods: We conducted a PASTA registry study, which was an observational, multicenter, registry of 1043 patients with stroke receiving oral anticoagulants (OACs) in Japan. In the present study, ICH from the PASTA registry was used to analyze the clinical characteristics including mortality among the four groups (NOAC, VKA, NOAC and AP, and VKA and AP) using univariate and multivariate analyses.
    Results: Among the 216 patients with ICH, 118 (54.6%), 27 (12.5%), 55 (25.5%), 16 (7.4%) were taking NOAC monotherapy, NOAC and AP, VKA, and VKA and AP, respectively. In-hospital mortality rates were the highest in VKA and AP (31.3%) than in NOACs (11.9%), NOACs and AP (7.4%), and VKA (7.3%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the concomitant use of VKA and AP (odds ratio [OR], 20.57; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.75-241.75, p = 0.0162), initial National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (OR, 1.21; 95%CI, 1.10-1.37, p < 0.0001), hematoma volume (OR, 1.41; 95%CI, 1.10-1.90, p = 0.066), and systolic blood pressure (OR, 1.31; 95%CI, 1.00-1.75, p = 0.0422) were independently associated with in-hospital mortality.
    Conclusions: Although VKA in addition to AP therapy could increase the in-hospital mortality, NOAC and AP did not increase the hematoma volume, stroke severity, or mortality compared to NOAC monotherapy.

    Abstract Corneal allograft survival is mediated by the variety of immunological reactions and wound healing process. Our aim was to explore the effects of topical administration of ripasudil, a selective Rho-associated coiled-coil protein kinase inhibitor, on corneal allograft survival. Ripasudil was administered to mice thrice a day after allogeneic corneal transplantation. Corneal graft survival, opacity, neovascularization, re-epithelization, immune cell infiltration, and mRNA levels of angiogenic and pro-inflammatory factors in the grafted cornea and draining lymph nodes (dLNs) were evaluated with slit-lamp microscopy, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and polymerase chain reaction. Graft survival was significantly prolonged with lower graft opacity and neovascularization scores in 0.4% and 2.0% ripasudil-treated groups, and mRNA levels of angiogenic and pro-inflammatory factors in ripasudil-treated grafted corneas were reduced. Moreover, 0.4% and 2.0% ripasudil reduced CD45

    Abstract Background: Most of the gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) have mutations in the KIT gene, encoding a receptor tyrosine kinase. Imatinib, a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is the first-line therapy for unresectable and metastatic GISTs. Despite the revolutionary effects of imatinib, some patients are primarily resistant to imatinib and many become resistant because of acquisition of secondary mutations in KIT. This study investigated the antitumor effects of SOCS1 gene therapy, which targets several signaling pathways.
    Methods: We used GIST-T1 (imatinib-sensitive) and GIST-R8 (imatinib-resistant) cells. We infected both cell lines with an adenovirus expressing SOCS1 (AdSOCS1) and examined antitumor effect and mechanisms of its agent.
    Results: The latter harboured with secondary KIT mutation and had imatinib resistance > 1000-fold higher than the former cells. We demonstrated that AdSOCS1 significantly decreased the proliferation and induced apoptosis in both cell lines. Moreover, SOCS1 overexpression inhibited the phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), AKT, and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in both of them. Inhibition of JAK signaling did not affect the proliferation enough. However, inhibition of the FAK signaling with an FAK inhibitor or RNA interference significantly showed inhibitory effect on cell growth and suppressed the phosphorylation of AKT, indicating a cross-talk between the AKT and FAK pathways in both the imatinib-sensitive and imatinib-resistant GIST cells.
    Conclusions: Our results indicate that the activation of FAK signaling is critical for proliferation of both imatinib-sensitive and -resistant GIST cells and the interference with FAK/AKT pathway might be beneficial for therapeutic target.

    Abstract The intermediate-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel KC a3.1 is involved in the promotion of tumor growth and metastasis, and is a potential therapeutic target and biomarker for cancer. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) have considerable potential for cancer therapy, however, the effects of HDACis on ion channel expression have not yet been investigated in detail. The results of this study showed a significant decrease in KC a3.1 transcription by HDAC inhibition in the human breast cancer cell line YMB-1, which functionally expresses KCa3.1. A treatment with the clinically available, class I, II, and IV HDAC inhibitor, vorinostat significantly downregulated KC a3.1 transcription in a concentration-dependent manner, and the plasmalemmal expression of the KC a3.1 protein and its functional activity were correspondingly decreased. Pharmacological and siRNA-based HDAC inhibition both revealed the involvement of HDAC2 and HDAC3 in KC a3.1 transcription through the same mechanism. The downregulation of KC a3.1 in YMB-1 was not due to the upregulation of the repressor element-1 silencing transcription factor, REST and the insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5, IGFBP5. The significant decrease in KC a3.1 transcription by HDAC inhibition was also observed in the KC a3.1-expressing human prostate cancer cell line, PC-3. These results suggest that vorinostat and the selective HDACis for HDAC2 and/or HDAC3 are effective drug candidates for KC a3.1-overexpressing cancers.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to identify cold-associated autoantibodies in patients with RP secondary to CTDs.
    Methods: Indirect immunofluorescence staining was performed on non-permeabilized cold-stimulated normal human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (dHMVECs), using patients' sera. Cold-induced alterations in cell surface proteomes were analysed by isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) analysis. Serological proteome analysis (SERPA) was applied to screen cold-associated autoantigens. The prevalence of the candidate autoantibody was determined by ELISA in 290 patients with RP secondary to CTDs (SSc, SLE or MCTD), 10 patients with primary RP and 27 healthy controls.
    Results: Enhanced cell surface immunoreactivity was detected in cold-stimulated dHMVECs when incubated with sera from patients with secondary RP. By iTRAQ analysis, many proteins, including heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNP-K), were found to be increased on the cell surface of dHMVECs after cold stimulation. By the SERPA approach, hnRNP-K was identified as a candidate autoantigen in patients with secondary RP. Cold-induced translocation of hnRNP-K to the cell surface was confirmed by immunoblotting and flow cytometry. By ELISA analysis, patients with secondary RP show a significantly higher prevalence of anti-hnRNP-K autoantibody (30.0%, 61/203) than patients without RP (9.2%, 8/87, P = 0.0001), patients with primary RP (0%, 0/10, P = 0.0314) or healthy controls (0%, 0/27, P = 0.0001).
    Conclusion: By comprehensive proteomics, we identified hnRNP-K as a novel cold-associated autoantigen in patients with secondary RP. Anti-hnRNP-K autoantibody may potentially serve as a biomarker for RP secondary to various CTDs.

    Abstract Abstract Corneal allograft survival is mediated by the variety of immunological reactions and wound healing process. Our aim was to explore the effects of topical administration of ripasudil, a selective Rho-associated coiled-coil protein kinase inhibitor, on corneal allograft survival. Ripasudil was administered to mice thrice a day after allogeneic corneal transplantation. Corneal graft survival, opacity, neovascularization, re-epithelization, immune cell infiltration, and mRNA levels of angiogenic and pro-inflammatory factors in the grafted cornea and draining lymph nodes (dLNs) were evaluated with slit-lamp microscopy, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and polymerase chain reaction. Graft survival was significantly prolonged with lower graft opacity and neovascularization scores in 0.4% and 2.0% ripasudil-treated groups, and mRNA levels of angiogenic and pro-inflammatory factors in ripasudil-treated grafted corneas were reduced. Moreover, 0.4% and 2.0% ripasudil reduced CD45+-infiltrated leukocyte frequency, Cd11b and Cd11c mRNA levels, and the frequencies of mature dendritic cells, IFNγ-, and IL-17- producing CD4+T cells in the dLNs of recipients. Re-epithelization rate of the grafted cornea was significantly higher in the 0.4% and 2.0% ripasudil groups than in the control. Topically applied ripasudil prolonged graft survival by downregulating neovascularization and inflammation factors, while promoting corneal re-epithelization, suggesting that ripasudil may be useful for suppressing immunological rejection in corneal transplantation.

    Abstract The most common cause of glaucoma surgery failure is scar formation induced by activation of wound-healing responses and resultant fibrosis at the surgical site. We investigated the effects of ripasudil, a Rho kinase inhibitor, on activation of human conjunctival fibroblasts (HConF). HConF were pretreated with different concentrations of ripasudil for 1 h before addition of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β2, followed by incubation for 48 h. TGF-β2-treated fibroblasts exhibited a significant increase in expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), a marker of fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation, and this increase was significantly suppressed, in a dose-dependent manner, by pretreatment with ripasudil. Ripasudil pretreatment also significantly attenuated TGF-β2-induced fibronectin production and collagen gel contraction. TGF-β2 increased both the number of viable cells and the number of cells in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle; these effects were attenuated by pretreatment with ripasudil. In addition, we explored the effects of ripasudil on stimulation of HConF by activated macrophages. Human monocytic cell line THP-1 cells were differentiated into M1 or M2 macrophage-like cells, and HConF were treated with conditioned media derived from these macrophages in the presence or absence of ripasudil. Conditioned medium from M2 macrophage-like cells induced a significant increase in α-SMA expression, viable cell numbers, and gel contraction, all of which were significantly suppressed by ripasudil. Thus, overall, ripasudil attenuated activation of human conjunctival fibroblasts. Ripasudil may be of therapeutic utility, preventing excessive scarring after glaucoma filtration surgery.

    Abstract Objectives: The epidemiological manifestations of ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) differ geographically. However, there have been no prospective studies comparing the incidence of AAV between Japan and Europe over the same time period using the same case definitions.
    Methods: The incidence of AAV was determined by a population-based method in Miyazaki prefecture, Japan, and Norfolk, U.K., between 2005 and 2009. Patients with AAV were defined and classified according to the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) algorithm.
    Results: The number of incident cases of AAV in Japan and the U.K. were 86 and 50, respectively, and the average annual incidence over the 5-year period was 22.6/million (95% CI 19.1, 26.2) and 21.8/million (95% CI 12.6, 30.9) in Japan and the U.K., respectively. The average age was higher in patients in Japan than in patients in the U.K. [mean (median), 69.7 (72) vs. 60.5 (61) years]. Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) was the predominant subtype in Japan (83%), while granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's) was more frequent in the U.K. (66%). As for the pattern of ANCA positivity, >80% of Japanese patients were pANCA/MPO positive, whereas two-thirds of U.K. patients were cANCA/PR3 positive. Renal involvement in MPA was very common in both countries, but was much less common in granulomatosis with polyangiitis in Japan compared with the U.K.
    Conclusion: There was no major difference in AAV incidence between Japan and the U.K., but this prospective study found MPA and MPO-ANCA to be more common in Japan and granulomatosis with polyangiitis and PR3-ANCA to be more common in the U.K., in line with earlier reports.
