    Abstract The tobacco emission condensate, henceforth referred to as "tobacco condensate," plays a critical role in assessing the toxicity of tobacco products. This condensate, derived from tobacco emissions, provides an optimized liquid concentrate for storage and concentration control. Thus, the validation of its constituents is vital for toxicity assessments. This study used tobacco condensates from 3R4F cigarettes and three heated tobacco product (HTP) variants to quantify and contrast organic compounds (OCs) therein. The hazard index (HI) for tobacco emissions and condensates was determined to ascertain the assessment validity. The total particulate matter (TPM) for 3R4F registered at 17,667 μg cig

    Abstract An increase in the concentration of environmental particulate matter and the spread of the COVID-19 virus have dramatically increased our time spent wearing masks. If harmful chemicals are released from these masks, there may be harmful effects on human health. In this study, the concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from some commonly used masks was assessed qualitatively and quantitatively under diverse conditions (including different mask material types, time between opening the product and wearing, and mask temperature). In KF94 masks, 1-methoxy-2-propanol (221 ± 356 µg m

    Abstract A method of preparing heated tobacco product aerosol condensate (HTPAC) was developed to expedite HTP toxicity evaluation, and the effectiveness was assessed. To prepare HTPAC, HTP aerosol was generated and collected using a Cambridge filter (particulate phase) and Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (DPBS; gaseous phase). The aerosol collected on the Cambridge filter was extracted using methanol, which was thereafter removed by nitrogen purging. The HTP aerosol residue was mixed with DPBS loaded with the collected HTP vapor, ultimately yielding HTPAC. Nicotine and formaldehyde, key harmful compounds in HTP aerosol, were detected in HTPAC (901 ± 224 and 22.2 ± 3.90 µg stick

    Abstract To declare a shampoo toxicologically safe, one should evaluate the hazards posed by the inhalation of aerosols produced during its use. Herein, tap water was sprayed into a shampoo-filled plastic container to investigate the formation of shampoo aerosols and the possibility of their inhalation. The aerosols thus obtained had higher mass concentrations (geometric mean = 5779 μg m⁻³ (PM₁₀) and 2249 μg m⁻³ (PM₂.₅)) than water aerosols (geometric mean = 927 μg m⁻³ (PM₁₀) and 476 μg m⁻³ (PM₂.₅)). In particular, shampoo aerosol particles with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 μm, which can penetrate the alveoli when inhaled, had the highest mass concentration (geometric mean = 2000 μg m⁻³). The volatile organic compounds contained in shampoo aerosols featured alcohol and ether groups attached to dodecane and tetradecane backbones; these compounds were generated by the thermal decomposition of surfactants (i.e., lauryl and laureth sulfates) during instrumental analysis. The acquired data suggest that inhalation exposure and chronic inhalation toxicity evaluations should be performed for various shampoo usage conditions to ensure inhalation safety.

    Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive type of brain tumor that originates from glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs). In the brain, GSCs are supported by a tumor microenvironment (TME) residing in the perivascular niche and the hypoxic niche. The GBM TME is highly heterogenous and exhibits complex cell-to-cell interactions. Three-dimensional tumorspheres cultured in stem cell-enriching media is often used as an in vitro model. The GBM tumorspheres retain some of the transcriptional and translational GSC features but often fails to recapitulate intertumor heterogeneity. Here, we developed a simple, matrix-free, and in vivo-like GBM organoids (GBOs) using patient-derived xenograft GBM lines in small-scale bioreactors. Shear stress was optimized to produce highly reproducible GBOs over 1 mm diameter within 4-5 weeks. GBOs exhibited high stemness and strong cell-to-cell interactions compared to conventional tumorsphere cultures. They displayed spatial gradients of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α positive hypoxic cores where CD133-positive cells resided and spatially heterogeneous expression of NOTCH and its ligands. We also observed a self-established, hierarchically organized, and heterogeneous TME by GBM transdifferentiation into endothelial cells, pericytes, and astrocytes. Collectively, we demonstrate the ability to biomanufacture uniformly sized GBOs that recapitulate in vivo GBM TME features that can serve as an improved GBM in vitro model.

  10. Article ; Online: Relationship between reduction in rice (Nipponbare) leaf blade size under elevated CO₂ and miR396–GRF module

    Abstract Elevated CO₂ (eCO₂; 1000 ppm) influences developing rice leaf formation, reducing leaf blade length and width as compared to rice grown under ambient CO₂ (aCO₂; 400 ppm). Since micro RNAs (miRNAs) are known to play multiple roles in plant development, we hypothesized that miRNAs might be involved in modulating leaf size under eCO₂ conditions. To identify miRNAs responding to eCO₂, we profiled miRNA levels in developing rice leaves (P4; plastochron number of the fourth-youngest leaf) under eCO₂ using small RNA-seq. We detected 18 mature miRNA sequences for which expression levels varied more than two-fold between the eCO₂ and aCO₂ conditions. Among them, only miR396e and miR396f significantly differed between the two conditions. Additionally, the expression of growth-regulating factors (GRFs), potential target mRNA of miR396s, were repressed under the eCO₂ condition. We used an antisense oligonucleotide approach to confirm that single-strand DNA corresponding to the miR396e sequence effectively downregulated GRF expression in developing leaves, reducing the leaf blade length, such as for rice grown under eCO₂. These results suggest that the miR396–GRF module is crucially relevant to controlling rice leaf blade length in eCO₂ environments.
