    Abstract Previous studies reported that, with aging, Leydig cell intracellular antioxidants are reduced in concentration and intracellular ROS levels increase, suggesting that oxidant/antioxidant imbalance may contribute to the reduced testosterone production that characterizes the aging cells. As yet, little is known about how the Leydig cell oxidant/antioxidant environment is regulated. Sirt1, an enzyme that deacetylates transcription factors, and the transcription factor Nrf2, have been shown to be associated with cellular response to oxidative stress. We hypothesized that Sirt1 and/or Nrf2 might be involved in regulating the oxidant/antioxidant environment of Leydig cells, and therefore, the testosterone production. We found that Sirt1 and Nrf2 are present in the Leydig cells of Brown Norway rats, though reduced in aged cells. In MA-10 cells in which Sirt1 or Nrf2 were suppressed by nicotinamide (NAM) or ML385, respectively, or in which siRNAs were used for knockdown of Sirt1 or Nrf2, increased ROS levels and decreased progesterone production occurred. In rat Leydig cells, inhibition of Sirt1 by culturing the cells with NAM resulted in increased ROS and reduced testosterone production, and subsequent removal of NAM from the culture medium resulted in increased testosterone production. Activation of rat Leydig cells Sirt1 with honokiol or of Nrf2 with sulforaphane resulted in the maintenance of testosterone production despite the exposure of the cells to oxidizing agent. These results, taken together, suggest that Sirt1 and Nrf2 are involved in maintaining the Leydig cell oxidant/antioxidant environment, and thus in maintaining steroid production.

    Abstract Background: Suprascapular nerve entrapment is a rare disorder that is frequently misdiagnosed as another disease. The suprascapular nerve is commonly entrapped at the following two sites: the suprascapular and spinoglenoid notches. Nerve entrapment at the spinoglenoid notch causes infraspinatus muscle weakness and atrophy. Patients present with posterior shoulder pain and weakness. Magnetic resonance imaging is used to confirm the diagnosis of a spinoglenoid cyst and nerve compression. Open or arthroscopic aspiration or decompression is indicated for patients with cysts in whom conservative treatment has failed and those with cysts associated with suprascapular nerve compression.
    Case presentation: Herein, we describe the case of a 49-year-old man with suprascapular nerve entrapment caused by a large cyst, namely, a hematoma, in the superior scapular and spinoglenoid notches. Open surgical decompression of the suprascapular nerve was performed owing to an intact rotator cuff and glenoid labrum.
    Conclusion: Posterior shoulder pain promptly resolved without complications.

    Abstract Oxidative stress of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a major risk factor for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). As a dry AMD model via oxidative stress, sodium iodate (NaIO₃), which is primarily toxic to the RPE, has often been used at a high dose to cause RPE death for studying photoreceptor degeneration. Thus, characterization of RPE damage by a low dose of NaIO₃ is still limited. To quantify RPE damage caused by NaIO₃ in mice, we recently developed a morphometric method using RPE flat-mounts. Here, we report that NaIO₃ has a narrow range of dose–effect correlation at 11–18 mg/kg body weight in male C57BL/6J mice. We evaluated the usefulness of our quantification method in two experimental settings. First, we tested the effect of NF-κB inhibition on NaIO₃-induced RPE damage in male C57BL/6J mice. IKKβ inhibitor BAY 651942 suppressed upregulation of NF-κB targets and protected the RPE from oxidative stress. Second, we tested sex-specific differences in NaIO₃-induced RPE damage in C57BL/6J mice using a low dose near the threshold. NaIO₃ caused more severe RPE damage in female mice than in male mice. These results demonstrate the usefulness of the quantification method and the importance of fine-tuning of the NaIO₃ dose. The results also show the therapeutic potential of IKKβ inhibition for oxidative stress-related RPE diseases, and reveal previously-unrecognized sex-specific differences in RPE susceptibility to oxidative stress.

    Abstract Summary: Pancreatic β-cell mass expands during pregnancy and regresses in the postpartum period in conjunction with dynamic metabolic demands on maternal glucose homeostasis. To understand transcriptional changes driving these adaptations in β-cells and other islet cell types, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing on islets from virgin, late gestation, and early postpartum mice. We identified transcriptional signatures unique to gestation and the postpartum in β-cells, including induction of the AP-1 transcription factor subunits and other genes involved in the immediate-early response (IEGs). In addition, we found pregnancy and postpartum-induced changes differed within each endocrine cell type, and in endothelial cells and antigen-presenting cells within islets. Together, our data reveal insights into cell type–specific transcriptional changes responsible for adaptations by islet cells to pregnancy and their resolution postpartum.
