Abstract
The major symptoms of Ménière's disease are episodic vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, and tinnitus. Direction-changing spontaneous nystagmus is a characteristic vestibular finding in Ménière's disease. In the acute stage, spontaneous nystagmus beating to the affected side (irritative nystagmus) is often observed, while paralytic nystagmus beating to the healthy side is found in the chronic stage. This direction-changing nystagmus can be reproduced in guinea pigs by increasing the potassium ion concentration in the perilymph. The objectives of the present study were to examine the effects of increasing the potassium ion concentration of the rat perilymph on hearing and nystagmus. Under isoflurane anesthesia, 22 rats received intratympanic injection of different concentrations of potassium chloride (KCl) solution or distilled water: groups 1, 2, 3, and 4 received saturated (3.4 M) KCl solution, 2 M KCl, 1 M KCl, and distilled water, respectively. The nystagmus direction and number per 15 s were monitored for 150 min. In the other 8 rats, hearing was monitored 30 min and 20 h after intratympanic injection of 2 M KCl (group 5) or distilled water (group 6) using the auditory brainstem responses. Rats in groups 1 and 2 showed spontaneous irritative nystagmus beating to the affected ear followed by paralytic nystagmus beating to the contralateral side. In group 3, irritative nystagmus occurred but paralytic nystagmus was rarely observed. Rats in group 4 showed no nystagmus. Rats in group 5 showed significant hearing impairment 30 min after KCl injection that recovered 20 h later. Control animals in group 6 showed no significant changes in hearing. The reversible hearing impairment with direction-changing spontaneous nystagmus induced by potassium injection into the tympanic cavity in rats was quite similar to that observed in acute Ménière's attacks. This rat model could be used for basic research investigating the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying Ménière's attacks.

Cartilage wear patterns in severe osteoarthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint: a quantitative analysis. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2019; 27:1152-1162.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present quantitative study aimed to assess the three-dimensional (3-D) cartilage wear patterns of the first metacarpal and trapezium in the advanced stage of osteoarthritis (OA) and compare cartilage measurements with radiographic severity. DESIGN Using 19 cadaveric trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joints, 3-D cartilage surface models of the first metacarpal and trapezium were created with a laser scanner, and 3-D bone surface model counterparts were similarly created after dissolving the cartilage. These two models were superimposed, and the interval distance on the articular surface as the cartilage thickness was measured. All measurements were obtained in categorized anatomic regions on the articular surface of the respective bone, and we analyzed the 3-D wear patterns on the entire cartilage surface. Furthermore, we compared measurements of cartilage thickness with radiographic OA severity according to the Eaton grading system using Pearson correlation coefficients (r). RESULTS In the first metacarpal, the cartilage thickness declined volarly (the mean cartilage thickness of the volar region was 0.32 ± 0.16 mm, whereas that of the dorsal region was 0.53 ± 0.18 mm). Conversely, the cartilage evenly degenerated throughout the articular surface of the trapezium. Measurements of the categorized regions where cartilage thinning was remarkable exhibited statistical correlations with radiographic staging (r = -0.48 to -0.72). CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that cartilage wear patterns differ between the first metacarpal and trapezium in the late stage of OA. There is a need for further studies on cartilage degeneration leading to symptomatic OA in the TMC joint.

Abstract
During elbow procedures, reconstruction of the joint (including the articular cartilage) is important in order to restore elbow function; however, the regional distribution of elbow cartilage is not completely understood. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the 3-dimensional (3-D) distribution patterns of cartilage thickness of elbow bones (including the distal part of the humerus, proximal part of the ulna, and radial head) in order to elucidate the morphological relationship among them.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We recently reported that alkaloids in Uncaria hook (a constituent of yokukansan) contribute to antagonism of 5-HT3 receptors. Many studies have reported that 5-HT3 receptor antagonists reduce alcohol preference. However, the effect of yokukansan on alcohol preference is not clear. PURPOSE This study was performed to investigate the direct effect of yokukansan on alcohol preference and the effect of 5-HT3 receptors on the preference. STUDY DESIGN We examined ethanol preference effected by yokukansan. Next, we analyzed the contribution of 5-HT3 receptors to the effect of yokukansan. METHODS Ethanol preference was measured using the two-bottle preference test in mice fed with or without yokukansan diet. Next, the contribution of 5-HT3 receptors to ethanol preference was investigated using 5-HT3 receptor-deficient mice. RESULTS Reduction of ethanol preference by yokukansan was not observed using 5-HT3 receptor deficient mice. CONCLUSION Yokukansan contributes to reduced ethanol preference and antagonism of 5-HT3 receptors is associated with the effect.

Abstract
The sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) is a gathering of the cell bodies of parasympathetic fibers that dominate the nasal gland, lacrimal gland and cerebral blood vessels. The SPG controls nasal secretions, tears, and the dilation of cerebral blood vessels. However, it is unclear how serotonin regulates SPG functions. In this study, we investigated the expression of genes involved in the serotonergic system in the mouse SPG. We examined the mRNA expression levels of 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D, 5-HT1F, 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, 5-HT2C, 5-HT3A, 5-HT3B, 5-HT4, 5-HT5A, 5-HT5B, 5-HT6 and 5-HT7 receptors, as well as serotonin transporter, tryptophan hydroxylases 1 and 2, and L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) by RT-PCR. It revealed that the 5-HT3A and 5-HT3B ionotropic receptors and AADC were likely to be highly expressed in the SPG, as measured by RT-PCR. We next performed in situ hybridization on the SPG to examine the expression of these three genes at the cellular level after validating the specificity of each cRNA probe by northern blotting. The 5-HT3A receptor, 5-HT3B receptor, and AADC were expressed in 96.5% ± 1.0%, 29.7% ± 10.7%, and 57.4% ± 2.9% of neuronal cell bodies in the SPG, respectively, indicating that the 5-HT3A receptor was virtually expressed in all SPG neurons. Our results on the expression of these critical serotonin system genes in the parasympathetic SPG provide insight into the pathogenetics of rhinitis, conjunctivitis and headache. Furthermore, our findings suggest that targeting the 5-HT3A receptor might have therapeutic potential in the treatment of these ailments.

Abstract
The serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) type 3 (5-HT3) receptors are transmembrane ligand-gated ion channels. Although several 5-HT3 receptor agonists have been used as preclinical tools, SR 57227A is the most commonly used 5-HT3 receptor agonist with the ability to cross the blood brain barrier. However, the precise pharmacological profile of SR 57227A remains unclear. Therefore, we examined the pharmacological profile of SR 57227A at the 5-HT3A and 5-HT3AB receptors. We microinjected Xenopus laevis oocytes with human 5-HT3A complementary RNA (cRNA) or a combination of human 5-HT3A and human 5-HT3AB cRNA and performed two electrode voltage clamp recordings of 5-HT3A and 5-HT3AB receptor current in the presence of SR 57227A. Results showed that SR 57227A acts as partial agonist/partial antagonist at the 5-HT3 receptor. Interestingly, SR 57227A specifically reduced subsequent current amplitudes induced by 5-HT or SR 57227A. Based on its 5-HT3 receptor partial agonist/partial antagonist properties, we predict that SR 57227A functions as a serotonin stabilizer.

Abstract
ATP in the suburothelial layer is released from the bladder urothelium by mechanical stimuli. ATP directly activates purinergic receptors that are expressed on primary bladder afferent neurons and induces the micturition reflex. Although ATP is also released to the bladder lumen from the bladder urothelium, the role of ATP in the bladder lumen is unknown. Recently, clinical studies have reported that urinary ATP levels are much higher in patients with an overactive bladder than healthy controls. These results suggest that ATP in the bladder lumen is also involved in the micturition reflex. In this study, we performed intravesical ATP instillation in the mouse bladder. We evaluated urinary function with novel reliable methods using improved cystometry and ultrasonography, which we previously established. We found that intravesical ATP instillation induced urinary frequency because of activation of bladder afferent nerves without inflammatory changes in the bladder or an increase in post-void residual urine. These results suggest that not only ATP in the suburothelial layer, but also ATP in the bladder lumen, are involved in enhancement of the micturition reflex.

Abstract
Antagonists of the 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) 3 receptor (5-HT3R) have anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic activities, but the detailed, underlying mechanisms are not well understood. We focused on anti-apoptotic activities via 5-HT3R signaling to clarify the underlying mechanisms. Mice were administered 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), which induced apoptosis in intestinal epithelial cells. Coadministration with 5-HT3R antagonists or agonists tended to decrease or increase the number of apoptotic cells, respectively. In serotonin 3A receptor (5-HT3AR) null (HTR3A-/-) mice, the number of apoptotic cells induced by 5-FU was decreased compared with that in wild-type (WT) mice. Bone marrow (BM) transplantation was performed to determine if BM-derived immune cells regulated 5-FU-induced apoptosis, but they were found to be unrelated to this process. Data from 5-HT3AR/enhanced green fluorescent protein reporter mice revealed that 50% of enterochromaffin (EC) cells expressed 5-HT3AR, but the number of apoptotic cells induced by 5-FU in the intestinal crypt organoids of HTR3A-/- mice was not altered compared with WT mice. In contrast, plasma 5-HT concentrations in WT mice but not in HTR3A-/- mice administered 5-FU were increased significantly. In conclusion, 5-HT3R signaling may enhance 5-HT release, possibly from EC cells intravascularly, or paracrine, resulting in increases in plasma 5-HT concentration, which in turn, enhances apoptotic activities induced by 5-FU.-Mikawa, S., Kondo, M., Kaji, N., Mihara, T., Yoshitake, R., Nakagawa, T., Takamoto, M., Nishimura, R., Shimada, S., Ozaki, H., Hori, M.

Abstract
Adiponectin, an adipocyte-derived circulating protein, accumulates in vasculature, heart, and skeletal muscles through interaction with a unique glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored cadherin, T-cadherin. Recent studies have demonstrated that such accumulation is essential for adiponectin-mediated cardiovascular protection. Here, we demonstrate that the adiponectin/T-cadherin system enhances exosome biogenesis and secretion, leading to the decrease of cellular ceramides. Adiponectin accumulated inside multivesicular bodies, the site of exosome generation, in cultured cells and in vivo aorta, and also in exosomes in conditioned media and in blood, together with T-cadherin. The systemic level of exosomes in blood was significantly affected by adiponectin or T-cadherin in vivo. Adiponectin increased exosome biogenesis from the cells, dependently on T-cadherin, but not on AdipoR1 or AdipoR2. Such enhancement of exosome release accompanied the reduction of cellular ceramides through ceramide efflux in exosomes. Consistently, the ceramide reduction by adiponectin was found in aortas of WT mice treated with angiotensin II, but not in T-cadherin-knockout mice. Our findings provide insights into adiponectin/T-cadherin-mediated organ protection through exosome biogenesis and secretion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We recently focused on alkaloids in Uncaria hook (a constituent of the Kampo medicine, yokukansan) and identified the pharmacological action of geissoschizine methyl ether on several G protein-coupled receptors. However, the functions of other identified alkaloids in Uncaria hook, including hirsutine, hirsuteine, rhynchophylline, isorhynchophylline, corynoxeine, isocorynoxeine, are not clear. PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of seven alkaloids in Uncaria hook (hirsutine, hirsuteine, rhynchophylline, isorhynchophylline, corynoxeine, isocorynoxeine and geissoschizine methyl ether) on the hydroxytryptamine type-3 (5-HT3) receptor ion channel. STUDY DESIGN We examined the effect of these alkaloids on the current of human 5-HT3 receptors expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. METHODS The human 5-HT3A subunit alone for the 5-HT3A receptor, or 5-HT3A and 5-HT3B subunits for the 5-HT3AB receptor, were expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. The 5-HT current was measured with or without alkaloid application using a two-electrode voltage clamp. RESULTS Each alkaloid, except for geissoschizine methyl ether, weakly inhibited the 5-HT-mediated 5-HT3A and/or 5-HT3AB receptor current, but co-application of these seven alkaloids inhibited the current strongly. CONCLUSION Each alkaloid contributes to antagonism of the 5-HT3 receptor.

Abstract
Depression is a common mental disorder affecting around 350 million people worldwide. Although selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the most widely used antidepressants, a significant proportion of depressed patients do not achieve remission with SSRIs. In this study, we show that a serotonin type 3 receptor (5HT3R) agonist induces antidepressant effects as well as hippocampal neurogenesis independent of fluoxetine (a commonly used SSRI). Notably, our histological analysis reveals that 5HT3R and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) are expressed in the same neurons in the subgranular zone of the hippocampal dentate gyrus. Furthermore, our in vivo microdialysis analysis shows that 5HT3R regulates hippocampal extracellular IGF1 levels, and we also show that 5HT3R-dependent hippocampal neurogenesis is mediated by increased IGF1 levels. Altogether, our findings suggest a novel 5HT3R-IGF1 mechanism that is distinct from fluoxetine-induced responses and that provides a new therapeutic target for depression, especially bringing significant benefits for SSRI-resistant depressed patients.
