    Abstract Individuals vary in their susceptibility to adverse reactions to medications, some of which can be potentially life-threatening. Idiosyncratic drug toxicity (IDT) has been shown to be strongly associated to specific polymorphisms in genes encoding human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) by recent genome-wide association studies. However, the pathogenic mechanisms governing such reactions remain unclarified, at least in part because of a lack of suitable experimental animal models to assess IDT. This review describes our work on the specific allele/drug combination of HLA-B*57:01 and abacavir, an antiretroviral drug targeting the human immunodeficiency virus. As abacavir is known to trigger an HLA-dependent immune response, we engineered a transgenic mouse model-HLA-Tg-by partially substituting the mouse HLA sequence for the corresponding human sequence. Local abacavir exposure was found to trigger a significant immune response in an HLA-dependent manner, and oral administration induced liver injury partially via concurrent activation of the innate immune system. Additionally, we developed a technique for evaluating structural alterations in HLA complexes resulting from drug exposure based on phage display to ensure specificity. Further scrutiny of the mechanism(s) underlying drug-induced immune reactions using the HLA-Tg model, as well as enhanced methods for predicting adverse event incidence, are anticipated to help resolve issues surrounding HLA-associated drug hypersensitivity.

    Abstract White matter bundle segmentation using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging fiber tractography enables detailed evaluation of individual white matter tracts three-dimensionally, and plays a crucial role in studying human brain anatomy, function, development, and diseases. Manual extraction of streamlines utilizing a combination of the inclusion and exclusion of regions of interest can be considered the current gold standard for extracting white matter bundles from whole-brain tractograms. However, this is a time-consuming and operator-dependent process with limited reproducibility. Several automated approaches using different strategies to reconstruct the white matter tracts have been proposed to address the issues of time, labor, and reproducibility. In this review, we discuss few of the most well-validated approaches that automate white matter bundle segmentation with an end-to-end pipeline, including TRActs Constrained by UnderLying Anatomy (TRACULA), Automated Fiber Quantification, and TractSeg.

    Abstract Purpose: Here, we aimed to characterize the cortical and subcortical microstructural alterations in the brains of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In particular, we compared these features between bulbar-onset ALS (b-ALS) and limb-onset ALS (l-ALS).
    Methods: Diffusion MRI data (b = 0, 700, 2000 ms/mm
    Results: At both the mid-cortical and subcortical surfaces, b-ALS was associated with significantly greater MD, smaller FA, and smaller MK in the motor and premotor areas than HC. In contrast, the patients with l-ALS showed relatively moderate differences relative to HCs. The ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised bulbar subscore was significantly correlated with the diffusion metrics in Brodmann Area 4.
    Conclusion: The distribution of abnormalities over the cerebral hemispheres and the more severe microstructural alteration in b-ALS compared to l-ALS were in good agreement with findings from postmortem histology. Our results suggest the feasibility of surface-based DKI analyses for exploring brain microstructural pathologies in ALS. The observed differences between b-ALS and l-ALS and their correlations with functional bulbar impairment support the clinical relevance of DKI measurement in the cortical and juxtacortical regions of patients with ALS.

    Abstract Several patients with cutaneous adverse drug reactions exhibit extracutaneous organ damages, and it becomes severe in a few patients resulting in death due to multiorgan failure. Understanding the sequential changes in various organs in patients with cutaneous eruption following drug administration will help understand disease onset and progression, aiding the development of prevention strategies and interventions. Therefore, we aimed to understand the effects of abacavir (ABC) on various organs in patients with ABC-induced eruptions by evaluating its effects in a mouse model. We found pathological changes in various organs of HLA-B*57:01 transgenic mice (B*57:01-Tg) following oral administration of ABC (20 mg/body/day). B*57:01-Tg exhibited a significant body weight decrease from day 1 of ABC administration, and reddening of the auricle was observed from day 5, and approximately 2/3 mice died by day 7. Histopathological examination revealed severe thymic atrophy after day 3, infiltration of inflammatory cells, predominantly lymphocytes with neutrophils, not only in the skin but also in the liver, kidney, and lung after day 5, and an increased number of lymphocytes with enlarged nuclei and granulocytic hematopoiesis were observed in the spleen after day 5. Blood chemistry revealed that albumin/globulin ratio was below 1.0 on day 5, reflecting a systemic inflammatory response, and the aspartate aminotransferase concentration rose to 193 ± 93.0 U/L on day 7, suggesting that cell damage may have occurred in various organs including liver accompanying inflammatory cell infiltration. These examinations of a mouse model of ABC-induced skin eruption show that disorders in various organs other than the skin should be considered and provide insights into the unexpected early systemic responses dependent on HLA-B*57:01.

    Abstract Flucloxacillin (FLX) induces adverse liver reactions, which has been reported to be related to human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B*57:01. In a previous study, abacavir-induced hypersensitivity was induced in HLA-B*57:01-transgenic mice (B*57:01-Tg), originally constructed by our group (Susukida et al., 2021). In this study, B*57:01-Tg mice were used to reproduce FLX-induced liver injury. However, treatment of B*57:01-Tg mice with FLX alone did not increase serum ALT levels.

    Abstract Abacavir (ABC)-induced hypersensitivity (AHS) is strongly associated with human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B*57 : 01 expression. Previous studies have demonstrated the feasibility of applying the HLA-transgenic mouse model in this context. ABC-induced adverse reactions were observed in HLA-B*57 : 01 transgenic (B*57 : 01-Tg) mice. Moreover, regulating immune tolerance could result in severe AHS that mimics symptoms observed in the clinical setting, which were modeled in CD4
