Abstract
Abstract
Background
Necroptosis, a form of programmed necrosis, has been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of various pathological conditions including heart failure. Protein expression of caspase-8, an endogenous inhibitor of necroptosis, is reported to be downregulated in human failing hearts, but its clinical significance remains unclear.
Methods
Endomyocardial biopsy specimens were obtained from patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (n=57, 56.2±14.5 years old, 70% male). The area stained with antibodies against caspase-8 and phospho-MLKL-Ser358 was calculated using an image analyzer, and fibrotic and cardiomyocyte areas were determined by Masson's Trichrome staining. Using a level of median caspase-8 expression (6.04% of the area of the myocardium with caspase-8 signal), patients were classified into a high caspase-8 expression group (H-cas8) and a low caspase-8 expression group (L-cas8).
Results
Caspase-8 signals were detected in cytoplasm and intercalated disks of cardiomyocytes. Patients in the L-cas8 group was younger (51.3±13.1 vs. 61.2±14.3 years old) and had larger left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV: 174±49 vs. 131±41 ml), larger left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV: 123±51 vs. 87±39 ml), and higher ratio of mitral peak velocity of early filling to late diastolic filling (E/A: 1.94±1.48 vs. 1.12±0.66) compared with the H-cas8 group. Caspase-8 expression level was positively correlated with age (r=0.34, p=0.01) and negatively correlated with LVEDV (r=−0.47, p<0.01), LVESV (r=−0.40, p<0.01), and E/A (r=−0.39, p<0.01) in simple linear regression analysis. The extent of myocardial fibrosis was not correlated with caspase-8 expression level. Multiple regression analysis indicated that LVEDV, LVESV, and E/A were independent explanatory factors of caspase-8 expression level after adjusting age and sex. Phospho-MLKL signals, an index of activation of necroptotic pathway, were frequently observed in cytoplasm, intercalated disks, and nuclei in the L-cas8 group but not in the H-cas8 group.
Conclusion
Lower caspase-8 expression in cardiomyocytes was associated with increased phosphorylation of MLKL and larger left ventricular volume, suggesting that downregulated caspase-8 may contribute to progression of myocardial remodeling via activation of MLKL in human dilated cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Necroptosis, a form of programmed necrosis, has been shown to contribute to the pathogenesis of various diseases including ischemia/reperfusion injury and heart failure. We recently reported that necroptotic signals suppresses autophagy in cardiomyocytes and that rapamycin, an mTORC1 inhibitor, not only promotes autophagy but also protect the cells from necroptosis.
Purpose
We examined the mechanism by which rapamycin suppresses necroptosis of cardiomyocytes, focusing on regulation of RIP1 activity and autophagic flux.
Methods and results
In H9c2 cardiomyoblasts, necroptosis was induced by treatment with TNF and z-VAD-fmk (zVAD) for 24 h, and cell death was determined by LDH release (as % of total). The treatment with TNF/zVAD increased LDH release from 3.4±1.3% to 46.1±2.3%, and LDH release was suppressed by necrostatin-1 (5.9±0.9%), a RIP1 inhibitor, and by rapamycin (23.5±1.4%). The protective effect of rapamycin was mimicked by Ku-0063794, an mTORC1/2 inhibitor. TNF/zVAD induced RIP1-RIP3 complex formation, together with suppression of TNF-induced RIP1 cleavage, which was mitigated by rapamycin. In addition, rapamycin not only suppressed TNF/zVAD-induced phosphorylation of RIP1-Ser166, an index of RIP1 activation, but also increased phosphorylation of RIP1-Ser320, an inhibitory phosphorylation site. In cells transfected with RIP1-S320A, which lack Ser320 for inhibitory phosphorylation, rapamycin failed to suppress TNF/zVAD-induced RIP1-RIP3 binding and cell death. Immunoblot analyses showed that TNF/zVAD significantly increased level of LC3-II. The accumulation of LC3-II protein was not further increased by bafilomycin A1 (100 nM), an inhibitor of lysosomal protein degradation, indicating that accumulation of LC3-II by TNF/zVAD reflected suppression of autophagic flux. Inhibition of RIP1 by necrostatin-1 attenuated TNF/zVAD-induced accumulation of LC3 II. The restoration of autophagic flux in TNF/zVAD-treated cells by necrostatin-1 was confirmed by monitoring tandem RFP-GFP-LC3 transfected cells; necrostatin-1 increased a ratio of RFP-LC3-puncta (autolysosomes) to RFP-GFP-LC3-puncta (autophagosomes) in TNF/zVAD-treated cells. In addition, necrostatin-1 and rapamycin induced nuclear translocation of TFEB, a regulator of lysosome biogenesis, which was associated with upregulation of MCOLN1 mRNA, a downstream target of TFEB. Restoration of autophagic flux in TNF/zVAD-treated cells by necrostatin-1 was inhibited by siRNA-mediated knockdown of TFEB.
Conclusion
Activation of TFEB by inhibitiory phosphorylation of RIP1-Ser320 is a primary mechanism of cytoprotection afforded by mTORC1 inhibition against necroptosis.

Abstract
Monitoring of radioactive materials has been reported in rivers and soil in Fukushima post the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident in March 2011. However, there are few reports on the influence of this event on bacteria in forest soils and rivers. Therefore, through amplicon sequencing of 16S rDNA we compared the bacterial flora in river sediment soils from Fukushima prefecture and from an area not exposed to radioactive contamination, Aomori prefecture. The bacterial composition in the Aomori prefecture soil and Fukushima soil were found to be very similar at the phylum level. However, Fukushima soil had significantly fewer Bacteroidetes than the Aomori soil (p = 0.014), while the content of Firmicutes and Latescibacteria (WS3) was significantly higher (p = 0.001, 0.013 respectively). However, no increase in the content of radioactive-resistant bacteria was observed. In future studies, it is necessary to standardise the conditions for soil collection to assess its content of radioactive substances.

Abstract
Since chimeric simian and human immunodeficiency viruses (SHIVs) used here, that is, SHIV-#64 and -KS661 utilize both CCR5 and CXCR4 chemokine receptors, they have broad target cell properties. A highly pathogenic SHIV strain, SHIV-KS661, causes an infection that systemically depletes the CD4+ T cells of Rhesus macaques, while a less pathogenic strain, SHIV-#64, does not cause severe symptoms in the macaques. In our previous studies, we established in vitro quantification system for virus infection dynamics, and concluded that SHIV-KS661 effectively produces infectious virions compared with SHIV-#64 in the HSC-F cell culture. However, in vivo dynamics of SHIV infection have not been well understood. To quantify SHIV-#64 and -KS661 infection dynamics in Rhesus macaques, we developed a novel approach and analyzed total CD4+ T cells and viral load in peripheral blood, and reproduced the expected dynamics for the uninfected and infected CD4+ T cells in silico. Using our previous cell culture experimental datasets, we revealed that an infection rate constant is different between SHIV-#64 and -KS661, but the viral production rate and the death rate are similar for the both strains. Thus, here, we assumed these relations in our in vivo data and carried out the data fitting. We performed Bayesian estimation for the whole dataset using MCMC sampling, and simultaneously fitted our novel model to total CD4+ T cells and viral load of SHIV-#64 and -KS661 infection. Our analyses explained that the Malthusian parameter (i.e., fitness of virus infection) and the basic reproduction number (i.e., potential of virus infection) for SHIV-KS661 are significantly higher than those of SHIV-#64. In addition, we demonstrated that the number of uninfected CD4+ T cells in SHIV-KS661 infected Rhesus macaques decreases to the significantly lower value than that before the inoculation several days earlier compared with SHIV-#64 infection. Taken together, the differences between SHIV-#64 and -KS661 infection before the peak viral load might determine the subsequent destiny, that is, whether the systemic CD4+ T cell depletion occurs or the host immune response develop.

Abstract
Lentiviruses have evolved to acquire an auxiliary protein Vpx to counteract the intrinsic host restriction factor SAMHD1. Although Vpx is phosphorylated, it remains unclear whether such phosphorylation indeed regulates its activity toward SAMHD1. Here we identify the PIM family of serine/threonine protein kinases as the factors responsible for the phosphorylation of Vpx and the promotion of Vpx-mediated SAMHD1 counteraction. Integrated proteomics and subsequent functional analysis reveal that PIM family kinases, PIM1 and PIM3, phosphorylate HIV-2 Vpx at Ser13 and stabilize the interaction of Vpx with SAMHD1 thereby promoting ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of SAMHD1. Inhibition of the PIM kinases promotes the antiviral activity of SAMHD1, ultimately reducing viral replication. Our results highlight a new mode of virus–host cell interaction in which host PIM kinases facilitate promotion of viral infectivity by counteracting the host antiviral system, and suggest a novel therapeutic strategy involving restoration of SAMHD1-mediated antiviral response. The accessory lentiviral protein X (Vpx) of the SIVsmm/mac and HIV-2 lineage targets the host-restriction factor SAMHD1 for proteasomal degradation. Here, the authors show that host PIM kinase-mediated phosphorylation of Vpx stabilizes its interaction with SAMHD1, suggesting PIM as potential antiviral targets.

Abstract
Eusocial insects have polyphenic caste systems in which each caste exhibits characteristic morphology and behaviour. In insects, caste systems arose independently in different lineages, such as Isoptera and Hymenoptera. Although partial molecular mechanisms for the development of eusociality in termites have been clarified by the functional analysis of genes and hormones, the contribution of microRNAs (miRNAs) to caste differentiation is unknown. To understand the role of miRNAs in termite caste polyphenism, we performed small RNA sequencing in a subterranean termite (Reticulitermes speratus) and identified the miRNAs that were specifically expressed in the soldier and worker castes. Of the 550 miRNAs annotated in the R. speratus genome, 74 were conserved in insects and 174 were conserved in other termite species. We found that eight miRNAs (mir-1, mir-125, mir-133, mir-2765, mir-87a and three termite-specific miRNAs) are differentially expressed (DE) in soldiers and workers of R. speratus. This differential expression was experimentally verified for five miRNAs by real-time quantitative PCR. Further, four of the eight DE miRNAs in soldier and worker termite castes were also differentially expressed in hymenopteran castes. The finding that Isoptera and Hymenoptera shared several DE miRNAs amongst castes suggests that these miRNAs evolved independently in these phylogenetically distinct lineages.

Abstract
Recently, a large number of Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) died of an unknown hemorrhagic syndrome at Kyoto University Primate Research Institute (KUPRI) and an external breeding facility for National Institute for Physiological Sciences (NIPS). We previously reported that the hemorrhagic syndrome of Japanese macaques at KUPRI was caused by infection with simian retrovirus 4 (SRV-4); however, the cause of similar diseases that occurred at the external breeding facility for NIPS was still unknown. In this study, we isolated SRV-5 from Japanese macaques exhibiting thrombocytopenia and then constructed an infectious molecular clone of the SRV-5 isolate. When the SRV-5 isolate was inoculated into two Japanese macaques, severe thrombocytopenia was induced in one of two macaques within 22 days after inoculation. Similarly, the clone-derived virus was inoculated into the other two Japanese macaques, and one of two macaques developed severe thrombocytopenia within 22 days. On the other hand, the remaining two of four macaques survived as asymptomatic carriers even after administering an immunosuppressive agent, dexamethasone. As determined by real-time PCR, SRV-5 infected a variety of tissues in Japanese macaques, especially in digestive and lymph organs. We also identified the SRV-5 receptor as ASCT2, a neutral amino acid transporter in Japanese macaques. Taken together, we conclude that the causative agent of hemorrhagic syndrome occurred at the external breeding facility for NIPS was SRV-5.

Abstract
A major issue for present HIV-1 research is to establish model systems that reflect or mimic viral replication and pathogenesis actually observed in infected humans. To this end, various strategies using macaques as infection targets have long been pursued. In particular, experimental infections of rhesus macaques by HIV-1 derivatives have been believed to be best suited, if practicable, for studies on interaction of HIV-1 and humans under various circumstances. Recently, through in vitro genetic manipulations and viral cell-adaptations, we have successfully generated a series of HIV-1 derivatives with CXCR4-tropism or CCR5-tropism that grow in macaque cells to various degrees. Of these viruses, those with best replicative potentials can grow comparably with a pathogenic SIVmac in macaque cells by counteracting major restriction factors TRIM5, APOBEC3, and tetherin proteins. In this study, rhesus macaques were challenged with CXCR4-tropic (MN4/LSDQgtu) or CCR5-tropic (gtu + A4CI1) virus. The two viruses were found to productively infect rhesus macaques, being rhesus macaque-tropic HIV-1 (HIV-1rmt). However, plasma viral RNA was reduced to be an undetectable level in infected macaques at 5–6 weeks post-infection and thereafter. While replicated similarly well in rhesus peripheral blood mononuclear cells, MN4/LSDQgtu grew much better than gtu + A4CI1 in the animals. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating that HIV-1 derivatives (variants) grow in rhesus macaques. These viruses certainly constitute firm bases for generating HIV-1rmt clones pathogenic for rhesus monkeys, albeit they grow more poorly than pathogenic SIVmac and SHIV clones reported to date.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Mutations in colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) cause adult-onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia (ALSP). Patients with ALSP can be misdiagnosed as having acute ischemic stroke due to hyperintensity lesions on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. Mutant CSF1R proteins identified in ALSP show a complete loss of autophosphorylation of CSF1R. METHODS We conducted mutation screening of CSF1R in 123 patients with definite acute ischemic cerebrovascular syndrome and positive family history of stroke. The pathogenicity of identified variants was evaluated using functional analyses. The levels of autophosphorylation of CSF1R in response to treatment with ligands of CSF1R were examined in cells transfected with wild-type and mutant CSF1R. RESULTS We identified eight CSF1R variants, six were known non-pathogenic polymorphisms, whereas the other two were missense variants inducing substitution of amino acid residues (p.Glu573Lys and p.Gly747Arg). Functional assay showed that the levels of autophosphorylation of p.Gly747Arg were similar to those of wild-type when treated with ligands. The autophosphorylation of p.Glu573Lys was detectable, but significantly decreased compared with those of wild-type CSF1R (P < 0.001, two-way anova with Bonferroni). The clinical presentation of the patient with p.Glu573Lys was consistent with cerebral embolism. The patient did not have typical clinical findings of ALSP. However, periventricular white matter abnormalities, unrelated to the recent infarct, were evident on brain magnetic resonance imaging. CONCLUSIONS In contrast to ALSP-associated missense mutations, CSF1R p.Glu573Lys variant in a patient with acute ischemic cerebrovascular syndrome showed a partial loss of autophosphorylation of CSF1R; its clinical significance warrants further investigation.

Abstract
Dengue virus (DENV) causes a wide range of illnesses in humans, including dengue fever and dengue haemorrhagic fever. Current animal models of DENV infection are limited for understanding infectious diseases in humans. Bonnet monkeys (Macaca radiata), a type of Old World monkey, have been used to study experimental and natural infections by flaviviruses, but Old World monkeys have not yet been used as DENV infection models. In this study, the replication levels of several DENV strains were evaluated using peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Our findings indicated that DENV-4 09-48 strain, isolated from a traveller returning from India in 2009, was a highly replicative virus. Three bonnet monkeys were infected with 09-48 strain and antibody responses were assessed. DENV nonstructural protein 1 antigen was detected and high viraemia was observed. These results indicated that bonnet monkeys and 09-48 strain could be used as a reliable primate model for the study of DENV.
