Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Carboxypeptidase B2 (CPB2) is a basic carboxypeptidase with fibrin and complement C3a and C5a as physiological substrates. We hypothesized that in polymicrobial sepsis, CPB2-deficient mice would have sustained C5a activity, leading to disease exacerbation. METHODS Polymicrobial sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). RESULTS Contrary to our hypothesis, Cpb2(-/-) mice had significantly improved survival, with reduced lung edema, less liver and kidney damage, and less disseminated intravascular coagulation. Hepatic pro-CPB2 was induced by CLP, leading to increased pro-CPB2 levels. Thrombomodulin present on mesothelium supported thrombin activation of pro-CPB2. Both wild-type and Cpb2(-/-) animals treated with a C5a receptor antagonist had improved survival, demonstrating that C5a was detrimental in this model. Treatment with a fibrinolysis inhibitor, tranexamic acid, caused a decrease in survival in both genotypes; however, the Cpb2(-/-) animals retained their survival advantage. Administration of a C3a receptor antagonist exacerbated the disease in both wild-type and Cpb2(-/-) mice and eliminated the survival advantage of Cpb2(-/-) mice. C5a receptor is expressed in both peritoneal macrophages and neutrophils; in contrast, C3a receptor expression is restricted to peritoneal macrophages, and C3a induced signaling in macrophages but not neutrophils. CONCLUSIONS While C5a exacerbates the peritonitis, resulting in a deleterious generalized inflammatory state, C3a activation of peritoneal macrophages may limit the initial infection following CLP, thereby playing a diametrically opposing protective role in this polymicrobial sepsis model.

Abstract
Background: Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis because of its high refractoriness to chemotherapy and tumour recurrence, and these properties have been attributed to cancer stem cells (CSCs). MicroRNA (miRNA) regulates various molecular mechanisms of cancer progression associated with CSCs. This study aimed to identify the candidate miRNA and to characterise the clinical significance. Methods: We established gemcitabine-resistant Panc1 cells, and induced CSC-like properties through sphere formation. Candidate miRNAs were selected through microarray analysis. The overexpression and knockdown experiments were performed by evaluating the in vitro cell growth and in vivo tumourigenicity. The expression was studied in 24 pancreatic cancer samples after laser captured microdissection and by immunohistochemical staining. Results: The in vitro drug sensitivity of pancreatic cancer cells was altered according to the miR-1246 expression via CCNG2. In vivo, we found that miR-1246 could increase tumour-initiating potential and induced drug resistance. A high expression level of miR-1246 was correlated with a worse prognosis and CCNG2 expression was significantly lower in those patients. Conclusions: miR-1246 expression was associated with chemoresistance and CSC-like properties via CCNG2, and could predict worse prognosis in pancreatic cancer patients.

Abstract
Clean, flat and orientation-identified graphene on a substrate is in high demand for graphene electronics. In this study, the hetero-epitaxial graphene growth on Cu(111)/mica(001) by chemical vapor deposition is investigated to check the applicability for top-gate insulator research on graphene, as well as graphene channel research, by transferring graphene on to SiO2/Si substrates. After adjusting the graphene growth conditions, the surface roughness of the graphene/Cu/mica substrate and the average smoothed areas are ∼0.34 nm and ∼100 μm(2), respectively. The orientation of graphene in the graphene/Cu/mica substrate can be identified by the hexagonal void morphology of Cu. Moreover, we demonstrate a relatively high mobility of ∼4500 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) in graphene transferred on the SiO2/Si substrate. These results suggest that the present graphene/Cu/mica substrate can be used for top-gate insulator research on graphene.

Abstract
The islet-antigens IA-2 and IA-2β are major autoantigens in type-1 diabetes and transmembrane proteins in dense core vesicles (DCV). Recently we showed that deletion of both IA-2 and IA-2β alters the secretion of hormones and neurotransmitters and impairs behavior and learning. The present study was designed to evaluate the contribution to learning of each of these genes by using single knockout (SKO) and double knockout (DKO) mice in an active avoidance test. After 5 days of training, wild-type (WT) mice showed 60-70% active avoidance responses, whereas the DKO mice showed only 10-15% active avoidance responses. The degree of active avoidance responses in the IA-2 SKO mice was similar to that of the DKO mice, but in contrast, the IA-2β SKO mice behaved like WT mice showing 60-70% active avoidance responses. Molecular studies revealed a marked decrease in the phosphorylation of the cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) and Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CAMKII) in the striatum and hippocampus of the IA-2 SKO and DKO mice, but not in the IA-2β SKO mice. To evaluate the role of CREB and CAMKII in the SKO and DKO mice, GBR-12909, which selectively blocks the dopamine uptake transporter and increases CREB and CAMKII phosphorylation, was administered. GBR-12909 restored the phosphorylation of CREB and CAMKII and increased active avoidance learning in the DKO and IA-2 SKO to near the normal levels found in the WT and IA-2β SKO mice. We conclude that in the absence of the DCV protein IA-2, active avoidance learning is impaired.
