    Abstract Metamorphosis of teleosts including Anguilliformes is well known to be induced by thyroid hormone (TH), although the underlying mechanism is not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the experimental conditions needed to induce normal metamorphosis in artificially spawned Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica), including initial larval size, TH concentration, and timing of TH immersion. Around 37 mm TL was found to be the minimum size of larvae that underwent successful metamorphosis induced by l-thyroxine (T

    Abstract Hyaluronic acids (hyaluronans, HAs) are glycosaminoglycans produced in the bodies of Anguilliforme and Elopiforme leptocephali, and HA is thought to serve as a metabolic energy source during planktonic life-stages. To examine this hypothesis, we investigated the dynamics of HA during early growth of the Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica), including during metamorphosis. From histochemical observations in the fully grown leptocephalus, HA occupied approximately 40-50% of the cross-sectional area and muscle tissue occupied less than 20%. However, the HA and water content are at a maximum during leptocephalus, decreasing during metamorphosis. We found that during leptocephalus, HA is actively accumulated in the body and plays a role in specific density adjustment, facilitating planktonic life. It was thought that after metamorphosis the role of HA in facilitating floating would end, and it would be metabolized to glucose and/or triglyceride.

    Abstract Japanese eels store lipids in the peritoneal cavity at the glass eel stage. These lipids are presumed to be consumed as an energy source during migration from oceanic metamorphosing sites to coastal Japan. In this study we investigated the distribution and amount of triglyceride in vivo using artificially bred Japanese eel larvae. Triglycerides accumulated in vivo from the early larval stage onward, until they reached a peak volume in fully grown leptocephali, and subsequently gradually decreased during metamorphosis. Furthermore, during the late metamorphic stages of the artificially bred glass eel, triglycerides were stored mainly in the peritoneal cavity, as in wild glass eels. These observations point to a strategy that the Japanese eels use in consuming the triglycerides derived from leptocephali during metamorphosis (when they do not feed) as a source of energy.

    Abstract Cancer immunotherapy began as a Coley's vaccine, and then, non-specific immuno- modulators, anti-tumor monoclonal antibody, cytokines, cancer vaccine (e.g. tumor antigens, dendritic cells, modified cancer cells), adoptive cell therapy (e.g. TIL, TCR/CAR-T cells), and immune-checkpoint inhibitors (PD-1/PD-Li, CTLA4 blocking antibody) have been developed and evaluated in clinical trials. The last two immunotherapies have recently shown durable clinical effects even in the patients with advanced cancers. Progress of human cancer immu- nology has been made along with the development of immunotherapy. Particularly, the anal- ysis of clinical trials of the recent immune-checkpoint inhibitors resulted in the understand- ing of human cancer immune-environments. Further investigation with multi-omics and immunological studies will lead to development of more effective cancer immunotherapy.

    Abstract Clinical trials for immune-checkpoint inhibitors and T cell-based adoptive cell therapy have demonstrated robust clinical responses in some patients with advanced cancer of various types, including hematological malignancies. However, response rates to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade are about 10%-30% in most cancer types. To improve the efficacy of immunotherapy, combination immunotherapy using other standard cancer therapies (e.g., chemotherapy, target therapy, and radiation) and various immune modulators for crucial regulation points in antitumor T-cell responses (e.g., cancer vaccines, immunogenic cancer cell death inducers, adjuvants, T-cell stimulators, and reversal of immune suppression) is under development. In combination immunotherapy, personalization and use of appropriate combined therapies and immune modulators are also critical depending on the immune status of patients (e.g., cancer types, immunological subtypes, and individual differences). Currently, various types of combination immunotherapy, particularly using PD-1/PD-L1 blockade, are being assessed in clinical trials.
