    Abstract The protocol presented here is to derive, maintain, and differentiate human pluripotent stem cells into skeletal muscle progenitor/stem cells (myogenic progenitors) using a sphere-based culture approach. This sphere-based culture is an attractive method for maintaining progenitor cells due to their longevity and the presence of cell-cell interactions and molecules. Large numbers of cells can be expanded in culture using this method, which represents a valuable source for cell-based tissue modeling and regenerative medicine.

    Abstract The Lead 210 (210Pb) concentrations were determined to estimate the skeletal growth rates in the four species of precious corals including Japanese red coral (Corallium japonicum), pink coral (Pleurocorallium elatius), white coral (P. konojoi), and a deep-sea coral (Coralliidae sp.), and in a bamboo coral (Keratoisis sp.). Colonies were collected from the southern coast of Japan, western North Pacific margin. The 210Pb concentrations typically showed the exponential decrease with distance from the edge to the center of the skeleton axis in a cross section of main stem of colonies. The mean radial growth rates for colonies were estimated from the slopes of the best fit curves for exponential decrease in 210Pb concentration along the multiple transects. The obtained mean and standard deviation of radial growth rates in the diameter (the number of transects, n) for three colonies of C. japonicum were 0.31 mm/y (n = 1), 0.21 ± 0.05 mm/y (n = 2), and 0.36 ± 0.13 mm/y (n = 2), respectively, which were broadly comparable to the previously reported growth rates obtained by growth ring counting. Those obtained for three white coral colonies were 0.52 mm/y (n = 1), 0.60 mm/y (n = 1), and 0.36 ± 0.25 mm/y (n = 2). The radial growth rate for the bamboo coral colony was 0.13 mm/y in radius. The linear growth of the main steam of some colonies was analyzed from several cross sections. The linear growth rates of colonies could be estimated from the slope of the best fit curve (1) for increasing mean 210Pb concentration along the cross transects of the axis and (2) for increasing center 210Pb concentration of the skeleton axis. The linear growth rates calculated from the mean and center concentrations for two C. japonicum colonies were 8.5 and 6.1 mm/y, and 1.8 and 1.4 mm/y, respectively. Those for a P. elatius colony were 4.7 and 3.4 mm/y. The difference between the two estimates may reflect the morphological structure of the skeleton. The growth rates measured for the radial increase and linear extension of the main stem of ...

    Abstract Aim: The objective of this study was to assess the gastrointestinal side (GI) effects of oral methotrexate (MTX) in Japanese adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
    Methods: In this single-center retrospective study, 112 Japanese adult patients (over 18 years old) with RA were examined by Methotrexate Intolerance and Severity assessment in Adults (MISA) questionnaire.
    Results: Forty-five (40.2%) of patients were MTX intolerant (MISA score ≥1). Twelve patients (11.2%) were moderate-to-severe MTX intolerant (MISA cross-product score ≥4). The most common GI side effects of MTX were gastric discomfort (26.8%), followed by loss of appetite or dysgeusia (14.3%), fatigue and lethargy (12.5%), and nausea (10.7%).
    Conclusions: Japanese adult patients with RA showed a high prevalence of MTX intolerance even in low-dose oral MTX. The MISA questionnaire was practical for finding patients with MTX intolerance.

    Abstract The myotendinous junction (MTJ) is a vulnerable region at the interface of skeletal muscle and tendon that forms an integrated mechanical unit. This study presents a technique for the spatially restrictive co-culture of human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived skeletal myocytes and primary tenocytes for two-dimensional modeling of the MTJ. Micropatterned lanes of extracellular matrix and a 2-well culture chamber define the initial regions of occupation. On day 1, both lines occupy less than 20 % of the initially vacant interstitial zone, referred to henceforth as the junction. Myocyte-tenocyte interdigitations are observed by day 7. Immunocytochemistry reveals enhanced organization and alignment of patterned myocyte and tenocyte features, as well as differential expression of multiple MTJ markers. On day 24, electrically stimulated junction myocytes demonstrate negative contractile strains, while positive tensile strains are exhibited by mechanically passive tenocytes at the junction. Unpatterned tenocytes distal to the junction experience significantly decreased strains in comparison to cells at the interface. Unpatterned myocytes have impaired organization and uncoordinated contractile behavior. These findings suggest that this platform is capable of inducing myocyte-tenocyte junction formation and mechanical coupling similar to the native MTJ, showing transduction of force across the cell-cell interface. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The myotendinous junction (MTJ) is an integrated structure that transduces force across the muscle-tendon boundary, making the region vulnerable to strain injury. Despite the clinical relevance, previous in vitro models of the MTJ lack the structure and mechanical accuracy of the native tissue and have difficulty transmitting force across the cell-cell interface. This study demonstrates an in vitro model of the MTJ, using spatially restrictive cues to inform human myocyte-tenocyte interactions and architecture. The model expressed MTJ markers and developed anisotropic myocyte-tenocyte integrations that resemble the native tissue and allow for force transduction from contracting myocytes to passive tenocyte regions. As such, this study presents a system capable of investigating development, injury, and pathology in the human MTJ.
