Abstract
Extracellular vesicle-derived microRNAs (EV-miRNAs) are promising circulating biomarkers for chronic liver disease. In this study, we explored the potential significance of plasma EV-miRNAs in non-hepatitis B-, non-hepatitis C-related HCC (NBNC-HCC). We compared, using the NanoString method, plasma EV-miRNA profiles between NBNC-HCC and control groups including patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and healthy controls. The differentially expressed EV-miRNAs were validated in another set of plasma samples by qRT-PCR. A total of 66 significantly differentially expressed EV-miRNAs between the HCC and the control groups were identified in the discovery set. In the validation cohort, including plasma samples of 70 NBNC-HCC patients, 70 NAFLD patients, and 35 healthy controls, 5 plasma EV-miRNAs were significantly elevated in HCC, which included miR-19-3p, miR-16-5p, miR-223-3p, miR-30d-5p, and miR-451a. These miRNAs were found to participate in several cancer-related signaling pathways based on bioinformatic analysis. Among them, EV-miR-19-3p exhibited the best diagnostic performance and displayed a high sensitivity for detecting alpha-fetoprotein-negative HCC and early-stage HCC. In multivariate analysis, a high EV-miR-19-3p level was demonstrated as an independently unfavorable predictor of overall survival in patients with NBNC-HCC. In conclusion, our data have indicated, for the first time, that EV-miR-19-3p could serve as a novel circulating biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of NBNC-HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) offer a renewable source of cells for the generation of hematopoietic cells for cell-based therapy, disease modeling, and drug screening. However, current serum/feeder-free differentiation protocols rely on the use of various cytokines, which makes the process very costly or the generation of embryoid bodies (EBs), which are labor-intensive and can cause heterogeneity during differentiation. Here, we report a simple feeder and serum-free monolayer protocol for efficient generation of iPSC-derived multipotent hematoendothelial progenitors (HEPs), which can further differentiate into endothelial and hematopoietic cells including erythroid and T lineages. METHODS Formation of HEPs from iPSCs was initiated by inhibition of GSK3 signaling for 2 days followed by the addition of VEGF and FGF2 for 3 days. The HEPs were further induced toward mature endothelial cells (ECs) in an angiogenic condition and toward T cells by co-culturing with OP9-DL1 feeder cells. Endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT) of the HEPs was further promoted by supplementation with the TGF-β signaling inhibitor. Erythroid differentiation was performed by culturing the hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) in a three-stage erythroid liquid culture system. RESULTS Our protocol significantly enhanced the number of KDR+ CD34+ CD31+ HEPs on day 5 of differentiation. Further culture of HEPs in angiogenic conditions promoted the formation of mature ECs, which expressed CD34, CD31, CD144, vWF, and ICAM-1, and could exhibit the formation of vascular-like network and acetylated low-density lipoprotein (Ac-LDL) uptake. In addition, the HEPs were differentiated into CD8+ T lymphocytes, which could be expanded up to 34-fold upon TCR stimulation. Inhibition of TGF-β signaling at the HEP stage promoted EHT and yielded a large number of HSPCs expressing CD34 and CD43. Upon erythroid differentiation, these HSPCs were expanded up to 40-fold and displayed morphological changes following stages of erythroid development. CONCLUSION This protocol offers an efficient and simple approach for the generation of multipotent HEPs and could be adapted to generate desired blood cells in large numbers for applications in basic research including developmental study, disease modeling, and drug screening as well as in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
The demand for steviol glycosides, non-caloric sweet components of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni (stevia) leaves, has increased considerably as a benefit to enhance human health. However, the supply has remained challenging due to limited production, with the lack of a specific steviol glycoside hydrolyzing enzyme. In this study, a novel β-glucosidase (EcBgl) from Enterococcus casseliflavus was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. An EcBgl consists of 721 amino acids corresponding to a molecular mass of 79.37 kDa. The EcBgl was purified to homogeneity, followed by enzyme characterization. The enzyme showed optimum pH and temperature at 6.0 and 37 °C, and exhibited the kinetic constants kcat/Km for pNPG and kcat/Km for stevioside of 8583 mM-1s-1 and 95.41 mM-1s-1, respectively. When compared to the stevioside hydrolyzing β-glycosidases previously reported, EcBgl was found to be the most efficient enzyme. EcBgl also rendered hydrolysis of the stevioside to produce rubusoside, a rare steviol glycoside with a pharmaceutical solubilizing property, by cleaving at the glucose moiety. In addition, the enzyme demonstrated substantial resistance against amygdalin, so it served as a potential enzyme in agricultural and pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
An induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line, MUSIi010-A, was established by Sendai virus (SeV) transduction of scalp fibroblasts from a 59-year-old male with androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Pluripotency of the iPSC line was verified by immunofluorescence staining of pluripotent markers and by in vitro trilineage differentiation. The MUSIi010-A line was shown to retain normal karyotype and free of SeV vectors at passage 17. This iPSC line can be used for studying pathological mechanisms of AGA.

Abstract
In this study, we used hair follicle keratinocytes for reprogramming. Collection of plucked hairs offers advantages over other somatic cells because no medical professional or operation room is required. Keratinocytes were isolated from plucked hairs of a 21-year-old healthy woman and characterized for the expression of cytokeratin 14 (CK14). Reprogramming of keratinocytes was performed using Sendai virus. Further characterization of the keratinocyte-derived iPSC line (designated as MUSIi006-A) confirmed that the cell line was pluripotent, free from Sendai viral genome and transgenes, and retained normal karyotype. Our method represents an easy, non-invasive and efficient approach for iPSC generation from hair samples.

Abstract
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were generated from exfoliated renal epithelial cells isolated from a urine sample of a 31-year-old healthy woman. Epithelial cells were characterized for the expression of E-cadherin and reprogrammed using non-integrating Sendai viral vectors. The urine-derived iPSC line (designated as MUSIi005-A) was karyotypically normal, expressed pluripotent markers, differentiated into cells of three embryonic germ layers, and showed no viral and transgene expressions at passage 29. Our protocol offers a non-invasive and efficient approach for iPSC generation from patients with genetic or acquired disorders.

Abstract
Liposomal coatings are formed on films of a biopolymer, hydrophobically modified chitosan (hm-chitosan), containing dodecyl groups as hydrophobes along the polymer backbone. The alkyl groups insert themselves into the liposome bilayer through hydrophobic interactions and thus tether liposomes, leading to a densely packed liposome layer on the film surface. Such liposomal surfaces exhibit effective lubrication properties due to their high degree of hydration, and reduce the coefficient of friction to the biologically-relevant range. The compliancy and robustness of these tethered liposomes allow retention on the film surface upon repeated applications of shear. Such liposome coated films have potential applications in biolubrication.
