Abstract
The osmotic stress imposed on microorganisms by hypotonic conditions is perceived to regulate water and solute flux via cell membranes, which are crucial for survival. Some cells that fail to perceive osmotic stress die because this results in the rupture of the cell membrane. The flux through the membrane is characterized by the membrane permeability, which is measured using a stopped-flow apparatus in response to a millisecond-order osmolarity change. However, the obtained data are an ensemble average of each cell response. Additionally, the measurement of permeability, considering cellular viability, contributes to a more accurate evaluation of osmoadaptation. Here, we present a novel on-chip instantaneous extracellular solution exchange method using an air-liquid interface. The presented method provides a concurrent evaluation at the single-cell level in response to a millisecond-order osmotic shock, considering cellular viability by solution exchange. This method utilizes a liquid bridge with a locally formed droplet on the surface of a micropillar fabricated inside a microchannel. We evaluated a solution exchange time of 3.6 ms and applied this method to Synechocystis PCC 6803 under two different osmolarity conditions. The live/dead ratio of 1 M to 0.5 M osmotic down shock condition was 78.8/21.2% while that of 1 M to 0.25 M osmotic down shock condition was 40.0/60.0%. We evaluated the water permeability of two groups: cells that were still live before and after osmotic shock (hereafter named cell type 1), and cells that were live before but were dead 10 minutes after osmotic shock (hereafter named cell type 2). The results indicated that the water permeability of cell type 2 was higher than that of cell type 1. The results obtained using the presented methods confirmed that the effect of osmotic stress can be accurately evaluated using single-cell analysis.

Abstract
The integration of liquid exchange and microfluidic chips plays a critical role in the biomedical and biophysical fields as it enables the control of the extracellular environment and allows for the simultaneous stimulation and detection of single cells. In this study, we present a novel approach for measuring the transient response of single cells using a system integrated with a microfluidic chip and a probe with a dual pump. The system was composed of a probe with a dual pump system, a microfluidic chip, optical tweezers, an external manipulator, an external piezo actuator, etc. Particularly, we incorporated the probe with the dual pump to allow for high-speed liquid change, and the localized flow control enabled a low disturbance contact force detection of single cells on the chip. Using this system, we measured the transient response of the cell swelling against the osmotic shock with a very fine time resolution. To demonstrate the concept, we first designed the double-barreled pipette, which was assembled with two piezo pumps to achieve a probe with the dual pump system, allowing for simultaneous liquid injection and suction. The microfluidic chip with on-chip probes was fabricated, and the integrated force sensor was calibrated. Second, we characterized the performance of the probe with the dual pump system, and the effect of the analysis position and area of the liquid exchange time was investigated. In addition, we optimized the applied injection voltage to achieve a complete concentration change, and the average liquid exchange time was achieved at approximately 3.33 ms. Finally, we demonstrated that the force sensor was only subjected to minor disturbances during the liquid exchange. This system was utilized to measure the deformation and the reactive force of Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 in osmotic shock, with an average response time of approximately 16.33 ms. This system reveals the transient response of compressed single cells under millisecond osmotic shock which has the potential to characterize the accurate physiological function of ion channels.

Abstract
We previously proposed a microfluidic bioreactor with glass-Si-glass layers to evaluate the effect of the fluid force on platelet (PLT) production and fabricated a three-dimensional (3D) microchannel by combining grayscale photolithography and deep reactive ion etching. However, a challenge remains in observing the detailed process of PLT production owing to the low visibility of the microfluidic bioreactor. In this paper, we present a transparent microfluidic bioreactor made of cyclo-olefin polymer (COP) with which to observe the process of platelet-like particle (PLP) production under a bright-field, which allows us to obtain image data at a high sampling rate. We succeeded in fabricating the COP microfluidic bioreactor with a 3D microchannel. We investigated the bonding strength of COP-COP layers and confirmed the effectiveness of the microfluidic bioreactor. Results of on-chip PLP production using immortalized megakaryocyte cell lines (imMKCLs) derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells show that the average total number of produced PLPs per imMKCL was 17.6 PLPs/imMKCL, which is comparable to that of our previous glass-Si-glass microfluidic bioreactor (17.4 PLPs/imMKCL). We succeeded in observing PLP production under a bright-field using the presented microfluidic bioreactor and confirmed that PLP fragmented in a narrow area of proplatelet-like protrusions.

Abstract
In this research, atomic force microscopy (AFM) with a flat tip cantilever is utilized to measure Young's modulus of a whole yeast cell (Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4741). The results acquired from AFM are similar to those obtained using a microfluidic chip compression system. The mechanical properties of single yeast cells are important parameters which can be examined using AFM. Conventional studies apply AFM with a sharp cantilever tip to indent the cell and measure the force-indentation curve, from which Young's modulus can be calculated. However, sharp tips introduce problems because the shape variation can lead to a different result and cannot represent the stiffness of the whole cell. It can lead to a lack of broader meaning when evaluating Young's modulus of yeast cells. In this report, we confirm the differences in results obtained when measuring the compression of a poly(dimethylsiloxane) bead using a commercial sharp tip versus a unique flat tip. The flat tip effectively avoids tip-derived errors, so we use this method to compress whole yeast cells and generate a force–deformation curve. We believe our proposed method is effective for evaluating Young's modulus of whole yeast cells.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Endothelial dysfunction is thought to be a major contributor to overall pathogenesis of vasculopathy seen in pulmonary hypertension (PH), which is manifested by the impaired release of nitric oxide (NO) generated through endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in endothelial cells. Activation of human eNOS is regulated by phosphorylation at multiple sites including Thr33 and Ser114, which residues are followed by Pro. The peptidyl isomerase Pin1 specifically isomerizes the phospho-protein having Ser/Thr-Pro bond and regulates their activity. Pin1 is involved in proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptosis in cancer, by isomerizing some functional molecules such as JNK, JUN, cyclin D, BAX, etc. However, it is controversial whether direct interaction of Pin1 with eNOS and how eNOS activity is altered by Pin1, especially in PH.
Purpose
We aimed to clarify whether Pin1 contributes to the PH development using Pin1 knockout mice and Pin1 affects the expression of phosphorylated eNOS (p-eNOS) molecule and pulmonary arterial endothelial cell (PAEC) apoptosis.
Methods and results
Wild (WT) and Pin1-deficient mice (KO) were exposed to hypoxia (10% O2) or normoxia for 3 weeks to generate hypoxia-induced PH. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF1α) expression in lungs was significantly enhanced in WT-hypoxia (WH, n=6) and KO-hypoxia (KH, n=6), suggesting that hypoxic response was certainly occurred in these mice. Pulmonary arterial pressure did not elevate in KH compared with KO-normoxia (KN, n=6) and WT-normoxia (WN, n=6), it was significantly increased only in WH (P<0.01), indicating that KO did not develop PH by hypoxia. The gain of RV weight was parallel to the increase of pulmonary arterial pressure. Western blot showed that p-eNOS expression in lungs was significantly decreased in WH compared to WN, however, the expression was not different between KH and KN. It suggests that Pin1 plays a regulatory role in p-eNOS expression in hypoxic response. In cultured PAECs, the expression of p-eNOS and eNOS was markedly increased by siRNA-mediated Pin1 knockdown. Immunoprecipitation study showed the possibility of Pin1 binding to p-eNOS molecule. Apoptosis evaluated by caspase-3/7 activity by fluorescent assay and cleaved caspase-3 expression by Western blot was significantly increased by Pin1 overexpression in PAECs; however, it was significantly decreased by Pin1 knockdown. Moreover, the exaggeration of apoptosis induced by doxorubicin was markedly increased by Pin1 overexpression compared with control in PAECs; however, it was clearly suppressed by Pin1 knockdown.
Conclusion
This study suggests that endogenous Pin1 contributes to the development of PH partly via the dysfunction of PAECs, that is, by the interference with p-eNOS expression and by the increase of apoptosis inducibility to external stimuli.

Abstract
Stroke can be a cause of death, while in non-fatal cases it is a common cause of various disabilities resulting from associated brain damage. However, whether a specific periodontal pathogen is associated with increased risk of unfavorable outcome after stroke remains unknown. We examined risk factors for unfavorable outcome following stroke occurrence, including serum antibody titers to periodontal pathogens. The enrolled cohort included 534 patients who had experienced an acute stroke, who were divided into favorable (n = 337) and unfavorable (n = 197) outcome groups according to modified ranking scale (mRS) score determined at 3 months after onset (favorable = score 0 or 1; unfavorable = score 2-6). The associations of risk factors with unfavorable outcome, including serum titers of IgG antibodies to 16 periodontal pathogens, were examined. Logistic regression analysis showed that the initial National Institutes of Health stroke scale score [odds ratio (OR) = 1·24, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1·18-1·31, P < 0·001] and C-reactive protein (OR = 1·29, 95% CI = 1·10-1·51, P = 0·002) were independently associated with unfavorable outcome after stroke. Following adjustment with those, detection of the antibody for Fusobacterium nucleatum ATCC 10953 in serum remained an independent predictor of unfavorable outcome (OR = 3·12, 95% CI = 1·55-6·29, P = 0·002). Determination of the antibody titer to F. nucleatum ATCC 10953 in serum may be useful as a predictor of unfavorable outcome after stroke.

Abstract
This work describes a hydrogel fluorescence microsensor for prolonged stable temperature measurements. Temperature measurement using microsensors has the potential to provide information about cells, tissues, and the culture environment, with optical measurement using a fluorescent dye being a promising microsensing approach. However, it is challenging to achieve stable measurements over prolonged periods with conventional measurement methods based on the fluorescence intensity of fluorescent dye because the excited fluorescent dye molecules are bleached by the exposure to light. The decrease in fluorescence intensity induced by photobleaching causes measurement errors. In this work, a photobleaching compensation method based on the diffusion of fluorescent dye inside a hydrogel microsensor is proposed. The factors that influence compensation in the hydrogel microsensor system are the interval time between measurements, material, concentration of photo initiator, and the composition of the fluorescence microsensor. These factors were evaluated by comparing a polystyrene fluorescence microsensor and a hydrogel fluorescence microsensor, both with diameters of 20 µm. The hydrogel fluorescence microsensor made from 9% poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) 575 and 2% photo initiator showed excellent fluorescence intensity stability after exposure (standard deviation of difference from initial fluorescence after 100 measurement repetitions: within 1%). The effect of microsensor size on the stability of the fluorescence intensity was also evaluated. The hydrogel fluorescence microsensors, with sizes greater than the measurement area determined by the axial resolution of the confocal microscope, showed a small decrease in fluorescence intensity, within 3%, after 900 measurement repetitions. The temperature of deionized water in a microchamber was measured for 5400 s using both a thermopile and the hydrogel fluorescence microsensor. The results showed that the maximum error and standard deviation of error between these two sensors were 0.5 °C and 0.3 °C, respectively, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The pathology of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) indicates the abnormal outgrowth of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) of the media. Abundant expression of endothelin 1 (ET-1) is observed in vessels of PAH, and has been considered to play a pathogenic role. There are several endothelin receptors including ETA, ETB. Compared to ETA, ETB mRNA is less expressed in PASMCs from control individuals, and is reported to be increased in those from PAH patients. However, how ETB is involved in PAH remains unclear. Selexipag, a non-prostanoid IP receptor agonist, was recently authorized for treating PAH. Compared to selexipag, the active metabolite MRE-269 has a higher affinity for the IP receptor. Initial combination therapy come to be accepted as a standard strategy for this disease, although the interaction of each drug has not been discussed enough.
Purpose
To assess the effect of selexipag on ET-1 receptors in PASMCs.
Methods
We stimulated purchased human PASMCs and endothelial cells by MRE-269 (300 nM), ET-1 (100 nM) or combination of them in vitro. Quantitative PCR was performed to quantify mRNA expressions. Cell proliferation was assessed by CCK8 cell proliferation assay kit. BQ123, A192621, bosentan was used as blocker against ETA, ETB, or both, respectively.
Results
In PASMCs, MRE-269 increased ETA and ETB expressions 2- and 7-fold, respectively. On the other hand, it increased ETB 1.2-fold in pulmonary artery endothelial cells; ETA was not detected in those cells. After pretreatment by MRE-269, ET-1 accelerated the proliferation of PASMCs. A192621 and bosentan abrogated this proliferation. In contrast, BQ123 did not abrogate it.
Conclusions
In PASMCs, active selexipag metabolite MRE-269 increases ETB more strongly than ETA, resulting in accelerated cell proliferation by ET-1 predominantly via ETB. These data call for further study focused on the choice of ET-1 receptor antagonists in the case of combination therapy with selexipag.

Abstract
Influenza virus invades the cell by binding sialic acid on the cell membrane through haemagglutinin (HA), and then genome replication and transcription are carried out in the nucleus to produce progeny virus. Multiplication of influenza virus requires metabolites, such as nucleotides and amino acids, as well as cellular machinery to synthesize its genome and proteins, thereby producing viral particles. Influenza virus infection forces the start of several metabolic systems in the cell, which consume or generate large amounts of energy. Thus, the viral multiplication processes involved in both genome replication and transcription are considered to require large numbers of nucleotides. The high-level consumption of nucleotides generates large amounts of energy, some of which is converted into heat, and this heat may increase the temperature of cells. To address this question, we prepared a tool based on rhodamine B fluorescence, which we used to measure the temperatures of influenza virus-infected and uninfected cells. The results indicated that influenza virus multiplication increased the temperature of cells by approximately 4 °C - 5 °C, ATP levels in the cells decreased at 3 h after infection, and mitochondrial membrane potential decreased with multiplication level. Thus, the increase in cellular temperature during influenza virus infection appears to be due to the massive consumption of ATP over a short period.

Abstract
Surgical simulators have recently attracted attention because they enable the evaluation of the surgical skills of medical doctors and the performance of medical devices. However, thermal damage to the human body during surgery is difficult to evaluate using conventional surgical simulators. In this study, we propose a functional surgical model with a temperature-indicating function for the evaluation of thermal damage during surgery. The simulator is made of a composite material of polydimethylsiloxane and a thermochromic dye, which produces an irreversible color change as the temperature increases. Using this material, we fabricated a three-dimensional blood vessel model using the lost-wax process. We succeeded in fabricating a renal vessel model for simulation of catheter ablation. Increases in the temperature of the materials can be measured by image analysis of their color change. The maximum measurement error of the temperature was approximately -1.6 °C/+2.4 °C within the range of 60 °C to 100 °C.
