Abstract
BACKGROUND Methotrexate (MTX) is partially metabolized by aldehyde oxidase (AOX) in the liver and its clinical impact remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate how AOX contributes to MTX-induced hepatotoxicity in vitro and clarify the relationship between concomitant AOX inhibitor use and MTX-associated liver injury development using the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). METHODS We assessed intracellular MTX accumulation and cytotoxicity using HepG2 cells. We used the FAERS database to detect reporting odds ratio (ROR)-based MTX-related hepatotoxicity event signals. RESULTS AOX inhibition by AOX inhibitor raloxifene and siRNA increased the MTX accumulation in HepG2 cells and enhanced the MTX-induced cell viability reduction. In the FAERS analysis, the ROR for MTX-related hepatotoxicity increased with non-overlap of 95% confidence interval when co-administered with drugs with higher Imax, u (maximum unbound plasma concentration)/IC50 (half-maximal inhibitory concentration for inhibition of AOX) calculated based on reported pharmacokinetic data. CONCLUSION AOX inhibition contributed to MTX accumulation in the liver, resulting in increased hepatotoxicity. Our study raises concerns regarding MTX-related hepatotoxicity when co-administered with drugs that possibly inhibit AOX activity at clinical concentrations.

Abstract
Injecting high-energy heavy ions in the electronic stopping regime into solids can create cylindrical damage zones called latent ion tracks. Although these tracks form in many materials, none have ever been observed in diamond, even when irradiated with high-energy GeV uranium ions. Here we report the first observation of ion track formation in diamond irradiated with 2-9 MeV C60 fullerene ions. Depending on the ion energy, the mean track length (diameter) changed from 17 (3.2) nm to 52 (7.1) nm. High resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (HR-STEM) indicated the amorphization in the tracks, in which π-bonding signal from graphite was detected by the electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). Since the melting transition is not induced in diamond at atmospheric pressure, conventional inelastic thermal spike calculations cannot be applied. Two-temperature molecular dynamics simulations succeeded in the reproduction of both the track formation under MeV C60 irradiations and the no-track formation under GeV monoatomic ion irradiations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quantitative analysis and objective evaluation of communication play an important role in medical communication education. In the process of developing an online methodology for medication counseling practice, we felt the necessity of conducting a quantitative evaluation to enhance its effectiveness. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to quantitatively evaluate the communication in each scenario to comprehensively identify the differences between face-to-face and online communication in medication counseling practicum. In addition, we examined how patient satisfaction changes between face-to-face and online interactions. METHODS Face-to-face and online role-playing were conducted between simulated patients (SPs) and students acting as pharmacists, and their dialogues were videotaped. The utterances in each recorded dialogue were categorized and analyzed by the Roter interaction analysis system (RIAS). The Japanese version of the Medical Interview Satisfaction Scale (MISS-21J) responses of the SPs were analyzed for the patient satisfaction survey. RESULT The results of the RIAS analysis revealed that the socio-emotional category appeared significantly more frequently in face-to-face communication, with more utterances that were more attuned to the feelings of the other person and more considerate of his or her feelings. The ratio of the number of utterances between students and SPs suggested that the communication was more interactive. CONCLUSION Based on the respective communication tendencies may have led to higher satisfaction in face-to-face than in online patient satisfaction surveys, less anxiety about illness and medications, and easier trusting relationships. Since it is difficult to grasp the mood of the other party and to open up to them due to the lack of nonverbal information in online dialogue, it is necessary to be more conscious of conversations that capture the feelings of patients in online medication counseling.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Aldehyde oxidase (AO) is a molybdenum-containing redox enzyme similar to xanthine oxidase that is involved in the thiopurine metabolism. This study investigated the effects of drug-drug interactions (DDIs) between azathioprine (AZA) and AO inhibitors on hematologic and hepatic disorders using the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System and the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database. METHODS The presence of DDI was assessed using the interaction signal scores (ISSs) calculated via the reporting odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. The study used reports of 'azathioprine' as a suspect drug for adverse effects. AO inhibitors were selected based on previous in vitro reports. RESULTS Some drugs tested positive for ISSs in each database and type of adverse effect (hematologic or hepatic disorder) analysis. Among these drugs, chlorpromazine, clozapine, hydralazine, and quetiapine could inhibit AZA metabolism via AO, given the previously reported clinical blood concentration and inhibitory effects of each drug. CONCLUSION Concomitant use of AO inhibitors increased the signals for AZA-induced adverse effects. To date, no studies have evaluated the clinical importance of AO as a drug-metabolizing enzyme, and further in vitro and clinical research is needed to clarify the contribution of AO to the pharmacokinetics of thiopurines.

Abstract
L-Lactate transport via monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) in the central nervous system, represented by the astrocyte-neuron lactate shuttle (ANLS), is crucial for the maintenance of brain functions, including memory formation. Previously, we have reported that MCT1 contributes to L-lactate transport in normal human astrocytes. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to identify transporters that contribute to L-lactate transport in human neurons. SH-SY5Y cells, which are used as a model for human neurons, were differentiated using all-trans-retinoic acid. L-Lactate uptake was measured using radiolabeled L-lactate, and the expression of MCT proteins was confirmed Western blotting. L-Lactate transport was pH-dependent and saturated at high concentrations. Kinetic analysis suggested that L-lactate uptake was biphasic. Furthermore, MCT1, 2 selective inhibitors inhibited L-lactate transport. In addition, the expression of MCT1 and 2 proteins, but not MCT4, was confirmed. In this study, we demonstrated that MCT1 and 2 are major contributors to L-lactate transport in differentiated human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells from the viewpoint of kinetic analysis. These results lead to a better understanding of ANLS in humans, and further exploration of the factors that can promote MCT1 and 2 functions is required.

Abstract
AIMS Human monocarboxylate transporter 9 (hMCT9), encoded by SLC16A9, is a transporter that mediates creatine transport across the transmembrane. Previously, we reported that hMCT9 is an extracellular pH- and Na+-sensitive creatine transporter with two kinetic components. Recently, some variants of hMCT9 have been found to be associated with serum uric acid levels, hyperuricemia, and gout. Among these, two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have also been reported: rs550527563 (L93M) and rs2242206 (T258K). However, the effect of these SNPs on hMCT9 transport activity remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the influence of hMCT9 L93M and T258K on transport characteristics. MAIN METHODS hMCT9 L93M and T258K were constructed by site-directed mutagenesis and expressed in Xenopus laevis oocyte. Transport activity of uric acid and creatine via hMCT9 were measured by using a Xenopus laevis oocyte heterologous expression system. KEY FINDINGS We assessed the transport activity of uric acid and creatine, and observed that hMCT9-expressing oocytes transported uric acid approximately 3- to 4-fold more than water-injected oocytes. hMCT9 L93M slightly reduced the transport activity of creatine, whereas hMCT9 T258K did not affect the transport activity. Interestingly, hMCT9 T258K abolished Na+ sensitivity and altered the substrate affinity from two components to one. SIGNIFICANCE In conclusion, hMCT9 SNPs affect transport activity and characteristics. hMCT9 L93M and T258K may induce dysfunction and contribute to pathologies such as hyperuricemia and gout. This is a first study to evaluate molecular characteristics of hMCT9 SNPs.

Abstract
α-Defensin 5 is known to be secreted by Paneth cells in the small intestine and plays an important role in eliminating pathogenic microorganisms. It has been reported that a decrease in α-defensin 5 level in the human small intestine is a risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Furthermore, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), a member of the ATP-binding cassette transporter superfamily, encoded by the ABCB1/MDR1 gene, plays an important role in the front line of host defense by protecting the gastrointestinal barrier from xenobiotic accumulation and may contribute to the development and persistence of IBD. Therefore, we examined the relationship between α-defensin 5 and the expression and function of P-gp using a human gastrointestinal model cell line (Caco-2). We found that MDR1 mRNA and P-gp protein level were increased in Caco-2 cells as well as α-defensin 5 secretion corresponded with the duration of cell culture. Exposure to α-defensin 5 peptide and recombinant tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) significantly increased the expression and function P-gp. The mRNA levels of interleukin (IL)-8, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-2 were also increased following exposure to TNF-α, similar to α-defensin 5 treatment. These results suggest that α-defensin 5 regulates P-gp expression and function by increasing TNF-α expression in Caco-2 cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is little evidence regarding risk prediction for surgical site infection (SSI) after lower third molar (L3M) surgery. METHODS We conducted a nested case-control study to develop a multivariable logistic model for predicting the risk of SSI after L3M surgery. Data were obtained from Hokkaido University Hospital from April 2013 to March 2020. Multiple imputation was applied for the missing values. We conducted decision tree (DT) analysis to evaluate the combinations of factors affecting SSI risk. RESULTS We identified 648 patients. The final model retained the available distal space (Pell & Gregory II [p = 0.05], Pell & Gregory III [p < 0.01]), depth (Pell & Gregory B [p < 0.01], Pell & Gregory C [p < 0.01]), surgeon's experience (3-10 years [p = 0.25], <3 years [p < 0.01]), and simultaneous extraction of both L3M [p < 0.01]; the concordance-statistic was 0.72. The DT analysis demonstrated that patients with Pell and Gregory B or C and simultaneous extraction of both L3M had the highest risk of SSI. CONCLUSIONS We developed a model for predicting SSI after L3M surgery with adequate predictive metrics in a single center. This model will make the SSI risk prediction more accessible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder. Lacosamide is a third-generation antiepileptic drug used to treat partial-onset seizures. Limited information is currently available on the transfer of lacosamide to breast milk. To facilitate studies on the safety of lacosamide use during breastfeeding, we aimed to develop a method to quantify lacosamide in human breast milk and plasma using ultra-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. METHODS Fifty microliters of breast milk or plasma was used, and samples were prepared by protein precipitation using methanol containing lacosamide-d3 as an internal standard (IS). Chromatography was performed using an ACQUITY HSS T3 column with an isocratic flow of 10 mM ammonium acetate solution/methanol (70:30, v/v). Lacosamide and IS were detected by multiple reaction monitoring in positive ion electrospray mode. The run time was 3.5 min. RESULTS Calibration curves were linear and in the range of 0.5 to 100 ng/mL both in breast milk and plasma. The validation assessment indicated that precision, accuracy, matrix effects, selectivity, dilution integrity, and stability were acceptable. The developed method was successfully applied to quantify lacosamide in breast milk and plasma obtained from a volunteer who had been orally administered lacosamide twice a day (100 mg × 2). Relative infant dose of lacosamide was estimated to be 14.6% in breast milk at five time points. CONCLUSIONS We developed a simple and robust method to quantify of lacosamide in human breast milk and plasma. This method could be useful for in future studies investigating the safety of lacosamide use during breastfeeding.

Abstract
The placenta is a critical organ for fetal development and a healthy pregnancy, and has multifaceted functions (e.g., substance exchange and hormone secretion). Syncytialization of trophoblasts is important for maintaining placental functions. Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological conditions worldwide. Therefore, this study aimed to reveal the influence of antiepileptic drugs, including valproic acid (VPA), carbamazepine, lamotrigine, gabapentin, levetiracetam, topiramate, lacosamide, and clobazam, at clinically relevant concentrations on syncytialization using in vitro models of trophoblasts. To induce differentiation into syncytiotrophoblast-like cells, BeWo cells were treated with forskolin. Exposure to VPA was found to dose-dependently influence syncytialization-associated genes (ERVW-1, ERVFRD-1, GJA1, CGB, CSH, SLC1A5, and ABCC4) in differentiated BeWo cells. Herein, the biomarkers between differentiated BeWo cells and the human trophoblast stem model (TSCT) were compared. In particular, MFSD2A levels were low in BeWo cells but abundant in TSCT cells. VPA exposure affected the expression of ERVW-1, ERVFRD-1, GJA1, CSH, MFSD2A, and ABCC4 in differentiated cells (ST-TSCT). Furthermore, VPA exposure attenuated BeWo and TSCT cell fusion. Finally, the relationships between neonatal/placental parameters and the expression of syncytialization markers in human term placentas were analyzed. MFSD2A expression was positively correlated with neonatal body weight, head circumference, chest circumference, and placental weight. Our findings have important implications for better understanding the mechanisms of toxicity of antiepileptic drugs and predicting the risks to placental and fetal development.

Abstract
Introduction: Fatty acids are a major nutrient in dietary fat, some of which are ligands of long-chain fatty acid receptors, including G-protein-coupled receptor (GPR) 40 and GPR120. Pretreatment with GPR40 agonists enhanced the secretion of insulin in response to elevating blood glucose levels after glucose load in a diabetes model, but pretreatment with GPR120 agonist did not ameliorate postprandial hyperglycemia. This study examined whether oral administration of linoleic acid (LA), a GPR40 and GPR120 agonist, immediately before glucose load would affect the elevation of postprandial blood glucose levels in rats. Methods: Male rats and rats with type 1 diabetes administered streptozocin were orally administered LA, trilinolein, α-linolenic acid (α-LA), oleic acid, TAK-875, or TUG-891 immediately before glucose load. Blood glucose levels were measured before, then 15, 30, 60 and 120 min after glucose load. CACO-2 cells were used to measure the uptake of [14C] α-MDG for 30 min with or without LA. Gastric content from rats administered LA was collected 15 and 30 min after glucose load, and blood samples were collected for measurement of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and cholecystokinin concentrations. Results: The elevation of postprandial blood glucose levels was slowed by LA but not by trilinolein in rats without promotion of insulin secretion, and this effect was also observed in rats with type 1 diabetes. The uptake of α-MDG, an SGLT-specific substrate, was, however, not inhibited by LA. Gastric emptying was slowed by LA 15 min after glucose load, and GLP-1, but not cholecystokinin, level was elevated by LA 15 min after glucose load. TUG-891, a GPR120 agonist, ameliorated postprandial hyperglycemia but TAK-875, a GPR40 agonist, did not. Pretreatment with AH7614, a GPR120 antagonist, partially canceled the improvement of postprandial hyperglycemia induced by LA. α-LA, which has high affinity with GPR120 as well as LA, slowed the elevation of postprandial blood glucose levels, but oleic acid, which has lower affinity with GPR120 than LA, did not. Conclusion: Oral administration of LA immediately after glucose load ameliorated postprandial hyperglycemia due to slowing of gastric emptying via promotion of GLP-1 secretion. The mechanisms may be associated with GPR120 pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Human monocarboxylate transporter 1 (hMCT1), hMCT2, and hMCT4 transport monocarboxylates, such as L-lactate and pyruvate, with pH dependency. They are often over-expressed in various cancer cells and mediate the energy balance and pH homeostasis. Therefore, hMCT inhibitors can potentially be used as anticancer drugs. However, isoform-selective inhibitors have not yet been well-characterized. In addition, several statins and 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitors have been reported to inhibit hMCTs, but their selectivity has not yet been evaluated. In this study, we aimed to determine whether statins could inhibit hMCT1, hMCT2, and hMCT4. MATERIALS AND METHODS We expressed hMCT1, hMCT2, and hMCT4 in a heterologous expression system of Xenopus oocytes and performed inhibitory experiments with various statins (fluvastatin, atorvastatin, simvastatin, rosuvastatin, pravastatin, and pitavastatin). As the three-dimensional structure of hMCT2 has been recently reported, docking simulations of statins and their structures were also performed to estimate the inhibition site. RESULTS All statins inhibited the transport activities of hMCT1, hMCT2, and hMCT4. In addition, atorvastatin was found to be a potent isoform-selective inhibitor of hMCT2. Docking simulation indicated that atorvastatin could interact with a site surrounded by transmembrane (TM)-2, TM11, and intracellular helix in the TM6/7loop. Therefore, targeting this site may lead to the discovery of more potent hMCT2-selective inhibitors. CONCLUSION Atorvastatin exerts selective inhibitory effects on hMCT2. These findings provide insights into the inhibitory mechanism of statins against hMCT1, hMCT2, and hMCT4 and may aid in the development of novel anticancer agents.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) often develop immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in various organs of the body. However, the patient factors associated with the development of multisystem irAEs are not well known. Skin irAEs most frequently occur and appear early after ICI treatment initiation. They may be a predictive marker for the development of multisystem irAEs, and their occurrence should be evaluated. METHODS Data of patients receiving ICI monotherapy for lung cancer, melanoma, and head and neck cancer treatment were retrospectively evaluated (n = 207); the single irAE development group (n = 69) was compared with the multisystem irAE development group (n = 37). The primary endpoint was the comparison of the incidence of skin irAEs between the two groups. RESULTS Skin, thyroid, and hepatic irAEs were associated with the development of multisystem irAEs (odds ratio: 3.30, 95% confidence interval: 1.27-8.52, p = 0.01 for skin; 5.07, 2.09-12.3, p = 0.0003 for thyroid; 10.63, 1.19-94.7, p = 0.03 for hepatic). Skin irAEs were the most common type (65.0% of total participants) and appeared earlier than other irAEs, except for gastrointestinal and ocular irAEs (median time to onset of skin irAEs: 7.5 weeks). Skin irAEs occurred more frequently in the multisystem irAE group (81.0%) than in the single irAE group (56.5%, p = 0.02). CONCLUSION Skin irAEs can be a useful predictive marker for multisystem irAE development due to ICI treatment. Consequently, patients with skin irAEs should be treated and monitored for other types of irAEs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) transport short-chain monocarboxylates, such as lactate, and have been reported to be related to poor prognosis in breast cancer. Our previous studies showed that a high glucose state altered MCT expression and changed the sensitivity of the tamoxifen active metabolite 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHT) via hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) protein expression. We hypothesized that MCT inhibitors affect 4-OHT-induced cytotoxicity under normal glucose conditions by decreasing HIF-1α protein expression. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated the combined effect of MCT inhibitor and 4-OHT using the estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer cell line MCF-7, under normal glucose conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Expression of MCTs and oxidative stress markers was evaluated by real-time PCR. Cell viability was measured using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured using the cell permeability probe 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate. RESULTS MCT1 expression increased under normal glucose conditions. The MCT1 substrate/inhibitor, 5-oxoproline (5-OP), enhanced 4-OHT-induced cytotoxicity. Bindarit, a selective MCT4 inhibitor, decreased 4-OHT sensitivity, similar to results of our previous study under high glucose conditions. In contrast, the combination of 5-OP and 4-OHT decreased ATP levels compared with that by 4-OHT alone in MCF-7 cells. Furthermore, 5-OP significantly increased the ROS production induced by 4-OHT. CONCLUSION 5-OP enhances 4-OHT-induced cytotoxicity in ER-positive breast cancer cells under normal glucose conditions.

Abstract
Aldehyde oxidase 1 (AOX1) is a molybdenum-containing enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of a range of aldehyde compounds and clinical drugs, including azathioprine and methotrexate. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effects of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the coding regions of the human AOX1 gene on protein dimer formation and metabolic activity. Six variants (Q314R [rs58185012], I598N [rs143935618], T755I [rs35217482], A1083G [rs139092129], N1135S [rs55754655], and H1297R [rs3731722]), with allele frequencies greater than 0.01 in 1 or more population, were obtained from the genome aggregation and 1000 Genomes project databases. Protein expression and dimer formation were evaluated using HEK293T cells expressing the wild-type (WT) or different SNP variants of AOX1. Kinetic analyses of phthalazine oxidation were performed using S9 fractions of HEK293T cells expressing WT or each the different mutant AOX1. Although we detected no significant differences among WT AOX1 and the different variants with respect to total protein expression, native PAGE analysis indicated that one of the SNP variants, T755I, found in East Asian populations, dimerizes less efficiently than the WT AOX1. Kinetic analysis, using phthalazine as a typical substrate, revealed that this mutation contributes to a reduction in the maximal rates of reaction without affecting enzyme affinity for phthalazine. Our observation thus indicates that the T755I variant has significantly negative effects on both the dimer formation and in vitro catalytic activity of AOX1. These findings may provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying the inter-individual differences in the therapeutic efficacy or toxicity of AOX1 substrate drugs. Significance Statement The T755l (rs35217482) SNP variant of the AOX1 protein, which is prominent in East Asian populations, suppresses protein dimer formation, resulting in a reduction in the reaction velocity of phthalazine oxidation to less than half of that of wild-type AOX1.

Abstract
With the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, businesses are rapidly expanding their online practices, and the online medical care system has been established and is growing. The field of pharmacy education is also looking for ways to conduct practical online training. Hence, we developed an online role-play-based medical interview training method for fourth-year pharmacy students. The purpose of this study was to describe in detail this method and to clarify the effect of online on medical interviewing practice. The training sessions were conducted using video teleconferencing software. Two settings were used for the role-play scenarios: the pharmacy and hospital. To evaluate the effectiveness of the sessions, a questionnaire was sent to the students, and the results were analyzed using text mining. The most important requirement for successfully conducting the interviews was a stable voice connection, and we reduced audio interruptions and delays by connecting the host personal computer to a wired local area network. We also solved the problem of howling when multiple terminals were installed in the same room by muting all devices in the room. Results of the analysis of the questionnaires suggested that students were more tense online. We also found that students perceived a difference between online and face-to-face interviews in terms of eye contact and the presentation of documents. In this way, we succeeded in conducting smooth online role-playing sessions while taking countermeasures against infection. In the future, it will be necessary to devise nonverbal communication methods and digital methods of presenting the training material.

Abstract
Previous studies have indicated that the expression levels of several transporters are altered during placental trophoblast differentiation. However, changes in the transport activities of therapeutic agents during differentiation must be comprehensively characterised. Antiepileptic drugs, including gabapentin (GBP), lamotrigine (LTG), topiramate, and levetiracetam, are increasingly prescribed during pregnancy. The objective of this study was to elucidate differences in the uptake of antiepileptic drugs during the differentiation process.Human placental choriocarcinoma BeWo cells were used as trophoblast models. For differentiation into syncytiotrophoblast-like cells, cells were treated with forskolin.The uptake of GBP and LTG was lower in differentiated BeWo cells than in undifferentiated cells. In particular, the maximum uptake rate of GBP transport was decreased in differentiated BeWo cells. Furthermore, GBP transport was trans-stimulated by the amino acids His and Met. We investigated the profiles of amino acids in undifferentiated and differentiated BeWo cells. Supplementation with His and Met, which demonstrated trans-stimulatory effects on GBP uptake, restored GBP uptake in differentiated cells. The findings of this study suggest that drug transport in BeWo cells can be altered before and after differentiation, and that the altered GBP uptake could be mediated by the intracellular amino acid status.

Abstract
The rate of glycolysis in cancer cells is higher than that of normal cells owing to high energy demands, which results in the production of excess lactate. Monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs), especially MCT1 and MCT4, play a critical role in maintaining an appropriate pH environment through lactate transport, and their high expression is associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer. Thus, we hypothesized that inhibition of MCTs is a promising therapeutic target for adjuvant breast cancer treatment. We investigated the effect of MCT inhibition in combination with 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHT), an active metabolite of tamoxifen, using two estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and T47D. Lactate transport was investigated in cellular uptake studies. The cytotoxicity of 4-OHT was evaluated using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. In both cell lines evaluated, MCT1 and MCT4 were constitutively expressed at the mRNA and protein levels. [14C]-L-lactate uptake by both cells was significantly inhibited by bindarit, a selective MCT4 inhibitor, but weakly affected by 5-oxoploline (5-OP), a selective MCT1 inhibitor. The results of the MTT assay showed that combination with bindarit, but not 5-OP, decreased 4-OHT sensitivity. Bindarit significantly increased the levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in MCF-7 cells. Moreover, HIF-1α knockdown significantly increased 4-OHT sensitivity, whereas induction of HIF-1α by hypoxia decreased 4-OHT sensitivity in MCF-7 cells. In conclusion, pharmacological MCT4 inhibition confers resistance to 4-OHT rather than sensitivity, by increasing HIF-1α protein levels. In addition, HIF-1α inhibition represents a potential therapeutic strategy for enhancing 4-OHT sensitivity.

Abstract
Organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) 2B1 plays a critical role in the intestinal absorption of substrate drugs. Apple juice reportedly interacts with OATP2B1 substrate drugs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of two apple polyphenols, phloretin and phloridzin, on OATP2B1-mediated substrate transport in vitro and to evaluate the effect of phloretin on rosuvastatin pharmacokinetics in rats.In vitro studies revealed that both polyphenols inhibited OATP2B1-mediated uptake of estrone-3-sulfate. Despite preincubation with phloretin and subsequent washing, the inhibitory effect was retained. Phloretin markedly decreased OATP2B1-mediated rosuvastatin uptake, with an IC50 value of 3.6 μM.On coadministering rosuvastatin and phloretin in rats, the plasma concentration of rosuvastatin 10 min after oral administration was significantly lower than that in the vehicle group. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve of rosuvastatin was not significant, showing a tendency to decrease in the phloretin group when compared with the vehicle group. The in-situ rat intestinal loop study revealed the inhibitory effect of phloretin on rosuvastatin absorption.Phloretin has potent and long-lasting inhibitory effects on OATP2B1 in vitro. Phloretin may inhibit OATP2B1-mediated intestinal absorption of rosuvastatin; however, it failed to significantly impact the systemic exposure of rosuvastatin in rats.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) is a well-known anticancer agent, and CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN) is one of the most serious adverse effects. Previously, we revealed that while celecoxib reduces CIN, diclofenac does not appear to enhance it. Furthermore, we reported that diclofenac additively enhances the cytotoxic effect of CDDP on CDDP-resistant A549 cells (A549/DDP cells) and their spheroids. In addition, celecoxib reduces the cytotoxic effect of CDDP on A549/DDP cells while demonstrating an anticancer effect; however, it enhanced the effect of CDDP cytotoxicity on spheroids. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of diclofenac or celecoxib on CIN and the antitumor effect of CDDP in a xenograft mouse model transplanted with A549/DDP cells. Although CDDP did not decrease tumor size and tumor weight, these parameters were significantly reduced following co-administration with diclofenac when compared with the control group. Conversely, celecoxib marginally suppressed the antitumor effect of CDDP. Moreover, CDDP increased the mRNA levels of kidney injury molecule 1 (Kim-1), a renal disorder marker, in the kidneys of xenograft mice; treatment with celecoxib and diclofenac did not impact Kim-1 mRNA levels increased by CDDP. In conclusion, diclofenac potentiated the antitumor effect of CDDP without enhancing CIN.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) is a highly potent anticancer drug that is widely used in the treatment of several cancers. CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN) is one of the most significant adverse effects, and oxidative stress is thought to be one of the mechanisms underlying CIN. Although there are some studies available on the variability in transporter expression in the kidney after a single CDDP dose, none have reported the change in renal transporter expression after multiple CDDP dose administrations. P-glycoprotein (P-gp), a transporter, is reported to be induced by oxidative stress. Ascorbic acid is a vitamin with antioxidant potential and therefore, may regulate the expression of P-gp transporter and affect CIN. In the present study, our aim was to assess the variability in expression of several renal transporters after multiple CDDP dose administrations and the antioxidant effect of ascorbic acid against transporter expression and CIN. Multiple doses of CDDP affected markers of kidney injury and antioxidants in the kidneys. Also, the expression of P-gp, breast cancer resistance protein, and multidrug resistance-associated protein 4 was upregulated by CDDP. Using a normal kidney cell line, we demonstrated that ascorbic acid attenuated CDDP-induced cytotoxicity due to its high superoxide scavenging ability. CDDP and ascorbic acid were injected into rats once a week for three weeks, and it was observed that co-administration of ascorbic acid attenuated CIN and regulated antioxidant marker. In addition, ascorbic acid reduced P-gp expression, which was upregulated by CDDP. In conclusion, ascorbic acid may attenuate CIN and reverse P-gp-mediated changes in drug pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
Cystine/glutamate transporter (xCT) is an antiporter involved in cystine uptake and glutamate efflux. However, there are very few reports regarding the kinetic analysis of xCT for cystine uptake using cancer cell lines, as well as the inhibition pattern of sulfasalazine, an inhibitor of xCT, for cystine uptake. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to clarify the kinetics of xCT in A549 cells, human lung cancer cells, and to reveal the inhibition pattern of sulfasalazine. Cystine uptake occurred in a time-dependent manner, with linear cystine uptake observed for 5 min. Additionally, sulfasalazine inhibited cystine uptake in a concentration-dependent manner, presenting an IC50 value of 24.7 ± 5.6 μM. Cystine uptake was saturated with increasing concentration, demonstrating Km and Vmax values of 179.4 ± 26.7 μM and 30.4 ± 2.3 nmol/min/mg protein, respectively. Moreover, during cystine uptake with sulfasalazine, Km and Vmax were >300 μM and 8.0 ± 1.5 nmol/min/mg protein, respectively, suggesting that sulfasalazine might demonstrate a mixed inhibition pattern. Furthermore, xCT siRNA decreased the xCT mRNA level and reduced cystine uptake. In conclusion, xCT was involved in the cystine uptake in A549 cells and sulfasalazine showed a mixed inhibition pattern to xCT.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with preexisting autoimmune disease (PAD) are often excluded from clinical trials assessing immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Therefore, the safety of ICI therapy in patients with PAD remains unclear. Herein, we evaluated the incidence of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in patients with PAD when compared with non-PAD patients. METHODS We searched MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for eligible studies from inception to January 2021. Observational studies reporting the incidence of irAEs in patients with and without PAD were included. We then performed a meta-analysis of eligible studies using forest plots. The primary endpoint of this study was the incidence rate of irAEs between patients with and without PAD. RESULTS We identified three prospective and three retrospective studies involving 206 patients with PAD and 3078 patients without PAD. In the meta-analysis, 128 patients with PAD (62.1%) experienced irAEs, which occurred in 51.9% of non-PAD patients, resulting in an odds ratio (OR) of 2.14 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.58-2.89). In the subgroup analysis, the incidence of irAEs was significantly higher in patients with PAD (OR = 2.19, 95% CI [1.55-3.08]). Furthermore, no significant heterogeneity or publication bias was detected, indicating that our meta-analysis could be generalized to clinical settings. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis demonstrated that PAD was a risk factor for irAE incidence. These results suggest that monitoring the occurrence of irAEs in patients with PAD is required to manage irAEs appropriately.

Abstract
Valproate (VPA), an antiepileptic drug, is known to inhibit histone deacetylases (HDACs). Exposure to VPA during pregnancy increases several fetal risks. The maintenance of folate level during pregnancy is essential for adequate fetal development, and the placenta plays a critical role in supplying nutrients to the fetus. The aim of this study was to elucidate the effects of VPA on the gene expression of folate carriers and metabolizing enzymes in the rat placenta at both mid and late gestation periods. Pregnant rats were orally administered VPA on a single day or 4 days (repeated administration). Gene expression of folate carriers (Folr1, Slc19a1, Slc46a1) and metabolizing enzymes (Cth, Mtr, Mtrr, Mthfr, Dhfr) was assessed in the placenta on gestational day (GD) 13 or GD20. In the control rats, the expression of Folr1, Slc46a1, Cth, and Mthfr tended to be upregulated, whereas that of Mtrr and Dhfr was downregulated during gestation; the expression of Slc19a1 and Mtr did not change. Repeated VPA administration reduced the placental expression of Folr1and Mtr on GD20 and increased the expression of Dhfr on GD13 compared with the control. These findings indicate that administration of VPA alters the placental gene expression of folate carriers and metabolism-related enzymes.

Abstract
Human concentrative nucleoside transporters (CNTs) are responsible for cellular uptake of ribonucleosides; however, although it is important to better characterize CNT-subtype specificity to understand the systemic disposition of deoxyribonucleosides (dNs) and their analogs, the involvement of CNTs in transporting dNs is not fully understood. In this study, using COS-7 cells that transiently expressed CNT1, CNT2, or CNT3, we investigated if CNTs could transport not only ribonucleosides but also dNs, i.e., 2'-deoxyadenosine (dAdo), 2'-deoxyguanosine (dGuo), and 2'-deoxycytidine (dCyd). The cellular uptake study demonstrated that dAdo and dGuo were taken up by CNT2 but not by CNT1. Although dCyd was taken up by CNT1, no significant uptake was detected in COS-7 cells expressing CNT2. Similarly, these dNs were transported by CNT3. The apparent Km values of their uptake were as follows: CNT1, Km = 141 μM for dCyd; CNT2, Km = 62.4 μM and 54.9 μM for dAdo and dGuo, respectively; CNT3, Km = 14.7 μM and 34.4 μM for dGuo and dCyd, respectively. These results demonstrate that CNTs contribute not only to ribonucleoside transport but also to the transport of dNs. Moreover, our data indicated that CNT1 and CNT2 selectively transported pyrimidine and purine dNs, respectively, and CNT3 was shown to transport both pyrimidine and purine dNs.

Abstract
Human monocarboxylate transporter 1 (hMCT1) and 4 (hMCT4) are involved in the proton-dependent transport of monocarboxylates such as L-lactate, which play an essential role in cellular metabolism and pH regulation. hMCT1 and 4 are overexpressed in a number of cancers, and polymorphisms in hMCT1 have been reported to be associated with the prognosis of some cancers. Accordingly, recent advances have focused on the inhibition of these transporters as a novel therapeutic strategy in cancers. To screen for MCT inhibitors for clinical application, it is important to study MCT function and regulation, and the effect of compounds on them, using human-derived cells. In this review, we focus on the transport function, regulation, and biology of hMCT1 and hMCT4, and the effects of genetic variation in these transporters in humans.

Abstract
α-Defensin 5 has a particularly broad antibacterial spectrum; it eliminates pathogenic microorganisms and regulates intestinal flora. Although Caco-2 cells are similar to small intestinal cells, it is unclear whether they secrete α-defensin 5. Therefore, we investigated whether Caco-2 cells secrete α-defensin 5 and determined the secretion mechanism using cells from three cell banks (ATCC, DSMZ, and RIKEN). The Caco-2 cell proliferation rate increased with the number of culture days, irrespective of cell bank origin. On the other hand, the alkaline phosphatase activity, which affects cell differentiation and the mRNA levels of several cytokines, such as interleukin 8 (IL-8), IL-6, IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and IL-2, in the Caco-2 cells fluctuated with the number of culture days, and differed for each cell bank. α-Defensin 5 secretion was detected in all three cell bank Caco-2 cells; particularly, the ATCC Caco-2 cells grew linearly depending on the cell culture day as well as the levels of IL-8 and TNF-α mRNA. This suggested that α-defensin 5 secretion in the ATCC Caco-2 cells was associated with fluctuations in the mRNA levels of various cytokines, such as IL-8 and TNF-α. In conclusion, Caco-2 cells may be a simple model for screening health food components and drugs that affect α-defensin 5 secretion.

Abstract
Damaged regions of cylindrical shapes called ion tracks, typically in nano-meters wide and tens micro-meters long, are formed along the ion trajectories in many insulators, when high energy ions in the electronic stopping regime are injected. In most cases, the ion tracks were assumed as consequences of dense electronic energy deposition from the high energy ions, except some cases where the synergy effect with the nuclear energy deposition plays an important role. In crystalline Si (c-Si), no tracks have been observed with any monomer ions up to GeV. Tracks are formed in c-Si under 40 MeV fullerene (C60) cluster ion irradiation, which provides much higher energy deposition than monomer ions. The track diameter decreases with decreasing the ion energy until they disappear at an extrapolated value of ~ 17 MeV. However, here we report the track formation of 10 nm in diameter under C60 ion irradiation of 6 MeV, i.e., much lower than the extrapolated threshold. The diameters of 10 nm were comparable to those under 40 MeV C60 irradiation. Furthermore, the tracks formed by 6 MeV C60 irradiation consisted of damaged crystalline, while those formed by 40 MeV C60 irradiation were amorphous. The track formation was observed down to 1 MeV and probably lower with decreasing the track diameters. The track lengths were much shorter than those expected from the drop of Se below the threshold. These track formations at such low energies cannot be explained by the conventional purely electronic energy deposition mechanism, indicating another origin, e.g., the synergy effect between the electronic and nuclear energy depositions, or dual transitions of transient melting and boiling.

Abstract
Solute carrier (SLC) 16A11 has been reported as a risk gene for type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the physiological function of SLC16A11 has not yet been clarified, and the relationship between SLC16A11 and T2D condition remains unclear. Therefore, we performed an association analysis between the SLC16A11 genotype and T2D pathology. The SLC16A11 genotype was determined by direct sequencing in 85 Japanese patients with T2D. The genotypes were analyzed by Mann-Whitney's U test and Chi-square test. Six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected in the SLC16A11 gene, and five of them formed a haplotype (5SNP haplotype). The 5SNP haplotype carriers had significantly higher fasting plasma glucose (FPG), total cholesterol (T-CHO), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) than the noncarriers. The SLC16A11 genotype affected the values of laboratory parameters for T2D, particularly of blood lipids. The function of SLC16A11 may be related to lipid metabolism.

Abstract
Clozapine-induced sialorrhea (CIS) is a common side effect of clozapine. There is no established standard treatment of CIS since the underlying mechanism remains unknown. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms involved in CIS. In our clinical study, a prospective observational study evaluated the association between serum and saliva concentrations of clozapine or its metabolites and Drooling Severity and Frequency Scale (DSFS) score. In our in vivo study, we first developed a new CIS animal model; subsequently, we measured salivary secretion and concentrations of clozapine or its metabolites in the animal model. In our in vitro study, we measured the calcium ion (Ca2+) response to evaluate the effect of clozapine or its metabolites on human salivary gland cell line (HSY cells) and then examined whether their effect was inhibited by atropine. In our clinical study, serum and saliva N-desmethylclozapine concentrations were significantly correlated with nocturnal DSFS score. In our in vivo study, daily single oral administration of 100 mg/kg clozapine for 7 days significantly increased salivary secretion in rats. Furthermore, N-desmethylclozapine concentrations in serum and submandibular glands of the rats were higher than clozapine concentrations. In our in vitro study, N-desmethylclozapine only elicited an increase in the intracellular Ca2+ in HSY cells. N-desmethylclozapine-induced Ca2+ responses were inhibited by atropine. These results suggest that N-desmethylclozapine is implicated in CIS by increasing nocturnal salivation via the muscarinic receptors. Moreover, our developed animal model that reflects CIS in clinical condition plays a key role as a bridge between basic and clinical research. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Clozapine-induced sialorrhea (CIS) is a severe and frequent adverse reaction, but the mechanism underlying CIS is less well understood. This paper reports that N-desmethylclozapine, a metabolite of clozapine, is implicated in CIS by increasing nocturnal salivation via the muscarinic receptors and that oral administration of clozapine at 100 mg/kg once daily for 7 days to rat is the optimum method for establishing the new animal model reflecting the clinical scenario of CIS.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) is a highly potent and important anticancer drug in lung cancer treatment. Long-term use of an anticancer agent causes resistance in cancer cells, and CDDP resistance involves multiple mechanisms. As the mechanism of resistance development differs depending on the cancer cell types, we aimed to evaluate the detailed mechanism of resistance to CDDP in two types of lung cancer cells: SBC-3 and A549 cells. The CDDP-resistant SBC-3/DDP and A549/DDP cells were established through continuous treatment with a gradually increasing dose of CDDP. The viability of SBC-3/DDP and A549/DDP cells treated with CDDP was 3.68 and 2.08 times higher than that of the respective parental cells. Moreover, SBC-3/DDP cells showed significantly increased cystine/glutamate transporter (xCT) mRNA level, and A549/DDP cells showed markedly increased sex determining region Y-box 2 (SOX2) mRNA level. Moreover, the uptake of cystine, a substrate of xCT, was higher in SBC-3/DDP cells than in SBC-3 cells, and cystine uptake in A549/DDP cells was not different from that in A549 cells. In addition, co-treatment with CDDP and sulfasalazine, an xCT inhibitor, showed lower the concentration of 50% inhibition for cell viability than CDDP alone in SBC-3 and SBC-3/DDP cells, but not in A549 and A549/DDP cells. Furthermore, SBC-3 cells transiently overexpressing xCT were resistant to CDDP, and xCT knockdown in A549/DDP cells did not significantly change the level of SOX2 mRNA and viability of cells upon CDDP treatment. In conclusion, the two lung cancer cell lines showed different mechanisms of resistance to CDDP.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) is an anticancer drug, often used in the treatment of several types of cancers. CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN) is one of the most severe adverse events associated with the use of CDDP. It has been suggested that the co-administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is a risk factor for CIN. However, the specific NSAIDs that affect CIN and the precise mechanisms underlying this interaction remain unclear. Hence, we aimed to evaluate the effect of NSAIDs on CDDP-induced cytotoxicity in vitro and confirmed the results in vivo. Using the epithelioid clone of the normal rat kidney cells (NRK-52E cells), we assessed the effects of 17 NSAIDs on CDDP-induced cytotoxicity all at once using the MTT assay. Furthermore, we evaluated two NSAIDs, which significantly attenuated or enhanced CDDP-induced cytotoxicity, in vivo. Wistar rats were treated with CDDP (5 mg/kg, i.p., day 1) and NSAIDs (p.o., day 1-4), and the kidneys were excised on day 5. Our results demonstrated that several NSAIDs attenuated, while others enhanced CDDP-induced cytotoxicity. Celecoxib significantly attenuated and flurbiprofen markedly enhanced cell dysfunction by CDDP. These results were reproduced in vivo as celecoxib decreased and flurbiprofen increased the expression of kidney injury molecule 1 (Kim-1) mRNA, a sensitive kidney injury marker, compared to the CDDP group. Moreover, celecoxib increased the antioxidant and autophagy markers quantified by qPCR in vitro and prevented a decrease in body weight induced by CDDP in vivo. In conclusion, we revealed that celecoxib significantly attenuated CIN in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The use of valproic acid (VPA), an antiepileptic drug, during pregnancy, is known to increase various fetal risks. Since VPA has been known to inhibit histone deacetylases (HDACs); its administration could alter gene transcription levels. However, in vivo effects of VPA administration on placental transporters have not been fully elucidated. The purpose of the present study was to comprehensively evaluate the effects of single and repetitive VPA administration on the expression of placental transporters and analyze them by gestational day. We investigated 18 transporters (8 ATP-binding cassette (ABC) and 10 solute carrier (SLC) transporters) in the placentas of pregnant rats that were orally administered 400 mg/kg/day VPA for one or four days, during mid- or late gestation. In the control rats, 4 ABC transporter genes (Abcb1a, 1b, Abcc2, Abcc4) were upregulated, 3 (Abcc3, Abcc5, Abcg2) downregulated through gestation, whereas 1 (Abcc1) was not changed. Regarding SLC transporters, 6 genes (Slc7a5, Slc16a3, Slc22a3, Slc22a4, Slco2b1, Slco4a1) were increased, 1 (Slc29a1) decreased through gestation, whereas 3 (Slc7a8, Slc22a5, Slco2a1) showed no significant change. Single VPA administration altered the expression of 9 transporters and repetitive administration, 13 transporters. In particular, VPA remarkably decreased Abcc4 and Slc22a4 in late gestation and increased Abcc5 during mid-gestation. Our findings indicated that VPA administration changed transporter expression levels in rat placenta, and suggested that sensitivity to VPA differs across gestational stages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Previous reports have demonstrated that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a risk factor for cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN). Here, the results of these previous studies were comprehensively assessed via a meta-analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS After a database search to select eligible studies, a meta-analysis was performed using a forest plot, followed by an assessment of the heterogeneity and publication bias and a subgroup analysis. RESULTS Seven studies were extracted as candidates. All were retrospective studies and evaluated the effect of NSAIDs on CIN as a secondary endpoint. According to the meta-analysis, total odds ratio was 1.88 (95% confidence interval=1.44-2.45). Further, high heterogeneity and publication bias were not observed. A subgroup analysis of the chemotherapy evaluation period revealed that CIN tended to be enhanced in the first course group (evaluation in only 1 course) and was significantly enhanced in the total course group (evaluation in 1 or more courses) by NSAIDs co-administration. CONCLUSION NSAIDs co-administration could be a risk factor for CIN.

Abstract
We report the elongation of embedded Au nanoparticles (NPs) in three different matrices, i.e. amorphous carbon (a-C), crystalline indium tin oxide (InxSn1-xOz; ITO) and crystalline calcium fluoride (CaF2), under irradiations of 4 MeV C60 + cluster ions and 200 MeV Xe14+ ions. Under 4 MeV C60 cluster irradiation, strong sputtering is induced in CaF2 layer so that the whole the layer was completely lost at a fluence of 5 × 1013 ions cm-2. Au NPs were partly observed in the SiO2, probably due to the recoil implantation. Amorphous carbon (a-C) layer exhibits low sputtering loss even under 4 MeV C60 irradiation. However, the elongation in a-C layer was low. While the ITO layer showed a certain decrease in thickness under 4 MeV C60 irradiation, large elongation of Au NPs was observed under both 4 MeV C60 and 200 MeV Xe irradiation. The ITO layer preserved the crystallinity even after large elongation was induced. This is the first report of the elongation of metal NPs in a crystalline matrix.

Abstract
Theaflavins (TFs) are derived from black tea, an important source of dietary polyphenols. Although the potential interactions between dietary polyphenols and drugs have been demonstrated through in vitro and in vivo studies, little information is available concerning the influence of TFs on drug disposition. Organic anion transporting polypeptide 2B1 (OATP2B1) is expressed in human enterocytes and plays a role in the intestinal absorption of numerous drugs. The current study evaluated the effects of black tea extracts on the pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin in rats, and investigated the effect of four major TFs (theaflavin, theaflavin-3-gallate, theaflavin-3'-gallate and theaflavin-3,3'-digallate) on the transport activity of OATP2B1. Black tea extracts significantly decreased the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax ) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC0 -8 ) of rosuvastatin by 48% and 37%, respectively (p < 0.001 and p < 0.01, respectively). Moreover, OATP2B1-mediated rosuvastatin and estrone-3-sulfate uptake was significantly reduced in the presence of TFs. A kinetic study revealed that the uptake efficiency (in terms of Vmax /Km ) of rosuvastatin was decreased following treatment with TFs. Black tea extracts also reduced OATP2B1-mediated rosuvastatin uptake. These results suggest that black tea reduces the plasma concentrations of rosuvastatin by inhibiting the intestinal OATP2B1-mediated transport of rosuvastatin.

Abstract
Lamotrigine (LTG) is an important antiepileptic drug for the treatment of seizures in pregnant women with epilepsy. However, it is not known if the transport of LTG into placental cells occurs via a carrier-mediated pathway. The aim of this study was to investigate the uptake properties of LTG into placental cell lines (BeWo and JEG-3), and to determine the involvement of organic cation transporters (OCTs, SLC22A1-3) and organic cation/carnitine transporter (OCTNs, SLC22A4-5) in the uptake process. The uptake of LTG at 37 °C was higher than that at 4 °C. OCT1 and OCTNs were detected in both cell lines. The uptake of LTG was not greatly affected by the extracellular pH, Na+-free conditions, or the presence of l-carnitine, suggesting that OCTNs were not involved. Although several potent inhibitors of OCTs (chloroquine, imipramine, quinidine, and verapamil) inhibited LTG uptake, other typical inhibitors had no effect. In addition, siRNA targeted to OCT1 had no significant effect on LTG uptake. The mRNA expression in human term placenta followed the order OCTN2 > OCT3 > OCTN1 > OCT1 ≈ OCT2. These observations suggested that LTG uptake into placental cells was carrier-mediated, but that OCTs and OCTNs were not responsible for the placental transport process.

Abstract
AIMS Alterations in microenvironments are a hallmark of cancer, and these alterations in germinomas are of particular significance. Germinoma, the most common subtype of central nervous system germ cell tumours, often exhibits massive immune cell infiltration intermingled with tumour cells. The role of these immune cells in germinoma, however, remains unknown. METHODS We investigated the cellular constituents of immune microenvironments and their clinical impacts on prognosis in 100 germinoma cases. RESULTS Patients with germinomas lower in tumour cell content (i.e. higher immune cell infiltration) had a significantly longer progression-free survival time than those with higher tumour cell contents (P = 0.03). Transcriptome analyses and RNA in-situ hybridization indicated that infiltrating immune cells comprised a wide variety of cell types, including lymphocytes and myelocyte-lineage cells. High expression of CD4 was significantly associated with good prognosis, whereas elevated nitric oxide synthase 2 was associated with poor prognosis. PD1 (PDCD1) was expressed by immune cells present in most germinomas (93.8%), and PD-L1 (CD274) expression was found in tumour cells in the majority of germinomas examined (73.5%). CONCLUSIONS The collective data strongly suggest that infiltrating immune cells play an important role in predicting treatment response. Further investigation should lead to additional categorization of germinoma to safely reduce treatment intensity depending on tumour/immune cell balance and to develop possible future immunotherapies.

Abstract
Breastfeeding is strongly encouraged for infant and maternal health. Benzodiazepines (BZDs) are widely prescribed drugs for symptoms, such as anxiety and insomnia, which many women could experience during the postpartum period. However, limited information is currently available to evaluate the transfer of different BZDs into breastmilk. In order to assess the proprieties of this medication during breastfeeding, robust and sensitive analytical methods to quantify BZDs are required. For this purpose, we developed a method for quantification of BZDs, including alprazolam, bromazepam, clonazepam, clotiazepam, etizolam, flunitrazepam, lorazepam, and CM7116 (a metabolite of ethyl loflazepate), in human breastmilk and plasma using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). Sample preparation was performed by a simple liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) with ethyl acetate. For sample preparation of CM7116, the pretreatment process to completely obtain the metabolite was added before the LLE step. The BZDs were separated by a C18 column using a gradient elution of acetonitrile in aqueous ammonium acetate solution, and were detected in the positive ion electrospray mode with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). Lower limits of quantification (LLOQs) in breastmilk ranged from 0.25 to 0.5 ng/mL, and those in plasma ranged from 0.5 to 1.0 ng/mL. The intra-day and inter-day precision, and accuracy of data were assessed and found to be acceptable. The developed method was successfully applied to measure the concentration of alprazolam in breastmilk and plasma, which were donated by a lactating woman who had been regularly treated with alprazolam. Milk to plasma (M/P) ratios were calculated as 0.52 (before oral administration) and 0.49 (2 h after administration) 3 days after delivery. The M/P ratio 1 month after delivery was calculated as 0.41 (2 h after administration). We estimated that the relative infant dose (RID) values of alprazolam ranged from 3.11 to 4.61%.

Abstract
Communication education is now necessary for pharmaceutical education since the role of pharmacists has expanded from "medicine-based" to "person-based". However, a standard for assessing the effectiveness of a communication education program has not been established. Hence, the aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of clinical training in pharmacy for enhancing the ability of pharmacy students to communicate. Role playing with simulated patients was performed by pharmacy students before and after clinical practice for pharmacy, and the effects of learning were analyzed by Roter method of interaction process analysis (RIAS). Analysis by RIAS enabled quantification and objective evaluation of communication by pharmacy students. The results showed improvement of interactive communication, decrease of "Question asking" and "Others" including "Transition words", and increase of "Partnership behaviors" and "Counsel behaviors". The pharmacy students became skillful in communication without showing hesitation. The results therefore showed that clinical training contributes to improvement in the ability of pharmacy students to communicate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), including arachidonic acid (AA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are essential for adequate fetal growth. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the effects of PUFAs on the expression and function of placental transporters, which play important roles in placental functions including the supply of nutrients to the fetus, excretion of metabolites, and protection of the fetus from xenobiotics. METHODS Human placental choriocarcinoma BeWo cells were used as a trophoblast model. PUFA-induced alteration in the gene expression of 84 transporters was investigated by a commercially available PCR array. Protein levels and the activity of transporters were assessed by western blotting and uptake experiments, respectively. The placental expression of the transporters was analyzed using pregnant Wistar rats. RESULTS PUFAs (AA, EPA, and DHA) increased cystine/glutamate transporter xCT/SLC7A11, which mediates the cellular uptake of cystine coupled with the efflux of glutamate in human placental choriocarcinoma BeWo cells. These PUFAs also increased [14C]-cystine uptake in BeWo cells. PUFA-induced xCT/SLC7A11 mRNA expression was not blocked by nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor-2 (NRF2) knockdown. Reverse transcription (RT)-PCR analysis indicated that xCT/Slc7a11 mRNA was detected in rat placenta and the expression level at gestational day (GD) 12 was higher than that at GD 20. CONCLUSION These results indicate that PUFAs promoted cystine uptake in placental cells by inducing xCT/SLC7A11 expression and NRF2 did not contribute to upregulation of xCT/SLC7A11 by PUFAs. Furthermore, xCT expression in rat placenta may change during pregnancy.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common brain tumor; however, no effective treatment for it is available yet. Monocarboxylate transporters, which are highly expressed in GBM, play a role in transporting antitumor agents, such as 3-bromopyruvate (3-BrPA). Valproate, primarily used to treat epilepsy, has been considered a possible treatment option for malignant GBM. In this study, we aimed to investigate the combined effects of 3-BrPA and valproate on GBM cell growth and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Valproate enhanced 3-BrPA-induced cell death in T98G cells, used as a GBM model. Multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) mRNA levels significantly increased after valproate treatment. 3-BrPA-induced cell death, which was enhanced by valproate, was inhibited in the presence of MK571, a MRP inhibitor, or Ko143, a BCRP inhibitor. In addition, treatment with 3-BrPA and valproate for 48 h reduced cellular ATP levels compared to those in the 3-BrPA alone treatment group. However, cellular ATP levels were recovered in the presence of MK571 or Ko143, compared to those in the 3-BrPA and valproate treatment groups. In conclusion, we suggested that valproate enhanced 3-BrPA-induced cell death. This might be attributable to the increase in cellular ATP consumption owing to valproate-induced MRP2 or BCRP expression.

Abstract
Medication therapy is the first line of treatment in the management of epilepsy. Fetal exposure to valproic acid (VPA), an antiepileptic drug, poses an elevated risk of teratogenicity in early pregnancy. Some studies have reported that monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) may be involved in the placental transport of VPA. However, it has not been determined which MCTs contribute to VPA transport into the placenta. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine how MCTs contribute to VPA transport into the placenta using the human placenta choriocarcinoma cell line JEG-3. VPA uptake was investigated using JEG-3 cells and radiolabeled VPA. MCT expression in JEG-3 cells was detected using RT-PCR and western blotting. Knockdown of MCTs was carried out using siRNAs. VPA uptake into JEG-3 cells was pH- and concentration-dependent, and described by using the Michaelis-Menten equation (Km = 0.95 ± 0.17 mM; Vmax = 19.3 ± 1.21 nmol/mg protein/15 s). MCT1 and MCT4 expression was found in JEG-3 cells, and typical MCT inhibitors significantly inhibited VPA uptake into JEG-3 cells. However, knockdown of MCT1 and MCT4 did not alter VPA uptake. In conclusion, VPA transport is mediated by a proton-dependent transporter in JEG-3 cells, but not by MCT1 and MCT4.
