Abstract
Clinical trials are increasingly focused on pre-manifest and early Alzheimer's disease (AD). Accurately predicting clinical progressions from normal to MCI or from MCI to dementia/AD versus non-progression is challenging. Accurate identification of symptomatic progressors is important to avoid unnecessary treatment and improve trial efficiency. Due to large inter-individual variability, biomarker positivity and comorbidity information are often insufficient to identify those destined to have symptomatic progressions. Using only clinical variables, we aimed to predict clinical progressions, estimating probabilities of progressions with a small set of variables selected by machine learning approaches. This work updates our previous work that was applied to the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) Uniform Data Set Version 2 (V2), by using the most recent version (V3) with additional analyses. We generated a user-friendly conversion probability calculator which can be used for effectively pre-screening trial participants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical activity is associated with slower cognitive decline in old age. Type 2 diabetes (T2d) is a risk factor for dementia and cognitive decline. Physical activity protects against several T2d complications. Yet, little is known about the contribution of physical activity to cognitive health among the elderly with T2d. OBJECTIVES To examine the association between physical activity and cognitive decline in older adults with T2d. DESIGN This is a prospective longitudinal study using data from the Israel Diabetes and Cognitive Decline (IDCD) study. SETTING ICDC study (N=1,213), is a population-based cohort of adults over the age of 65, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, who were cognitively normal at baseline and followed up every 18 months. PARTICIPANTS Participants with at least one follow-up assessment who were in the same physical activity group consistently and had complete demographic data. MEASUREMENTS Physical activity was measured using Minnesota Leisure Time Activity Questionnaire, cognitive functioning was measured using a broad neuropsychological assessment measuring Executive Functioning, Attention/Working Memory, Semantic Categorization and Episodic Memory. RESULTS Participants were classified into physical activity groups based on self-reported physical activity at baseline and all follow ups: "active" - participation in recreational physical activity (n=286); "non-active"- the only physical activity was walking from place to place (n=93) and "sedentary" (n=19). Linear mixed effects models were applied to adjust for key demographic and cardiovascular risk factors. Participants were 72.4 (SD 4.6) years old, had 13.3 (SD 3.6) years of education, and 163 (41%) were female. In the fully adjusted model, compared to the non-active group the active group had significantly slower rate of decline in Global Cognition (p=0.005), Executive Functioning (p=.014), and Attention/Working Memory (p=.01). There were no significant group differences for Semantic Categorization (p=.17) and Episodic Memory (p=.88). CONCLUSIONS Among initially cognitively normal and independent older adults with T2d, a physically active lifestyle was associated with a slower rate of cognitive decline. Future research should examine whether promoting physical activity may prevent or delay onset of dementia in this high-risk population.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Several comorbidities, including cardiovascular diseases or myocardial injury, are reported to be associated with poor prognosis in patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, detailed prognostic analysis of myocardial injury by various biomarkers in COVID-19 patients is limited.
Purpose
This study aims to explore the prognostic values of high-sensitive Troponin I (hsTnI) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) for COVID-19 patients using Japanese real-world data.
Methods
The COVID-MI study is a retrospective cohort study that enrolls consecutive laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients admitted to the hospital from July 2020 to September 2021. We collected clinical data, including cardiac biomarker values, by chart review. If the prespecified biomarkers in concern were not available, we measured them using the institutional serum blood bank, which enrolled patients prospectively from July 2020. Patients with available biomarkers were analyzed according to the values of hsTnI or NT-proBNP, using the clinically relevant thresholds (hsTnI: 5 ng/L and 99th percentile of the upper reference limit [99%ile URL], and NT-proBNP: 125 pg/mL and 900 pg/mL). The primary outcome measure was all-cause death. Secondary outcome measures included acute respiratory distress syndrome, myocardial infarction, myocarditis/pericarditis, venous thromboembolism, cerebral infarction, and bleeding events.
Results
We enrolled 917 patients with COVID-19 confirmed by viral nucleic acid amplification test. The mean age was 61 years, and 591 patients (64%) were men. On admission, the number of patients classified as severe or critical COVID-19 was 515 (56%) and 85 (8.7%), respectively. Among the 544 patients with hsTnI values, 365 (67%) patients had elevated hsTnI of ≥5 ng/L, and 134 patients (25%) had TnI of ≥99%ile URL. Besides, among 546 patients with NT-proBNP values, 295 patients (54%) had elevated NT-pro-BNP of ≥125 pg/mL, and 93 patients (17%) had NT-proBNP of ≥900 pg/mL. The median follow-up period was 31 days (interquartile range: 11–90 days). In cumulative incidence analysis, higher levels of hsTnI and NT-proBNP were associated with significantly higher mortality (hsTnI: <5 ng/L group; 8.8%, 5 ng/L to 99%ile URL group; 19%, and ≥99%ile URL group; 37%, P<0.001, and NT-proBNP: <125 pg/mL group; 7.8%, 125 to 900 pg/mL group; 21%, and ≥900 pg/mL group; 45%, P<0.001). The adjusted risk for all-cause death remained significant for each threshold of cardiac biomarkers (hsTnI ≥99%ile URL: hazard ratio [HR] 1.98, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.11–3.54, P=0.02, and NT-proBNP ≥900 pg/mL: HR 3.60, 95% CI 1.86–6.98, P<0.001).
Conclusion
Elevation of hsTnI or NT-proBNP was associated with poor prognosis in the current relatively severely ill COVID-19 patients. Measuring hsTnI or NT-proBNP can be an attractive option for risk stratification and deciding appropriate management in patients with COVID-19.

Background
Right ventricular (RV) lead placement into the interventricular septum is only accurate in 16–48% of cases under conventional fluoroscopic guidance. A previous report showed the importance of individualized left anterior oblique (LAO) projection to improve the success rate of RV lead placement into the interventricular septum. However, this procedure is complicated. We sought to investigate the preprocedural predictors of individualized LAO projection.
Methods
We assessed the relationship between preoperative electrocardiographic parameters and the angle of the interventricular septum obtained using thoracic computed tomography (CT).
Results
In the retrospective derivation cohort group (n=39), the mean angle of individualized LAO assessed by thoracic CT was 53.1±8.9°, and the preoperative electrocardiogram QRS axis was strongly correlated with the interventricular septum axis detected by thoracic CT (R2 = 0.490). In contrast, the preoperative electrocardiographic transitional zone was not associated with the interventricular septum axis (R2 = 0.041, P = 0.78). Using individual LAO projection derived from the preoperative electrocardiogram QRS axis, it was confirmed that the RV lead was placed in the interventricular septum during the pacemaker procedure in the prospective internal validation group (n=30). The success rate for placing the RV lead into the interventricular septum was significantly improved in the internal validation cohort group (93% vs. 64%, P < 0.05). In addition, the N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide level decreased significantly after surgery in the interventricular septal indwelling group.
Conclusions
Individualized LAO angle derived from the preoperative electrocardiogram QRS axis is a new useful and simple method for RV lead implantation into the interventricular septum.

Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) contributes to tumor malignancy through gene amplification and/or protein overexpression. In our previous study, we developed an anti-human EGFR (hEGFR) monoclonal antibody (mAb), clone EMab-134 (mouse IgG1, kappa), which specifically detects both hEGFR and dog EGFR (dEGFR). The defucosylated mouse IgG2a version of EMab-134 exhibits antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) in dEGFR-overexpressed CHO-K1 (CHO/dEGFR) cells and antitumor activities in mouse xenografts of CHO/dEGFR cells. In this study, we produced a defucosylated mouse-dog chimeric anti-EGFR mAb (E134Bf), and the reactivity of E134Bf against a canine mammary gland tumor cell line (SNP) was examined by flow cytometry. Furthermore, E134Bf highly exerted ADCC and CDC for SNP cells. The administration of E134Bf with canine mononuclear cells significantly suppressed the SNP xenograft growth. These results suggest that E134Bf exerts antitumor effects against dEGFR-expressing canine mammary gland tumors and could be valuable as part of an antibody treatment regimen for them.

Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a transmembrane glycoprotein. Although EGFR is physiologically essential in normal cells, it contributes to tumor malignancy through gene amplification and/or protein overexpression, which augment signaling cascades in tumor cells. We previously developed an anti-human EGFR (hEGFR) monoclonal antibody (mAb), EMab-134 (mouse IgG1, kappa), which detects hEGFR and dog EGFR (dEGFR) with high sensitivity and specificity. The mouse IgG2a version of EMab-134 (134-mG2a) has antitumor effects toward mouse xenografts of hEGFR-expressing oral squamous cell carcinomas. Furthermore, 134-mG2a-f, the defucosylated version of 134-mG2a, exhibits antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) in dEGFR-overexpressed CHO-K1 (CHO/dEGFR) cells and antitumor activities in mouse xenografts of CHO/dEGFR cells. Herein, the reactivity of 134-mG2a-f against canine cancer cells with endogenous dEGFR was first examined by flow cytometry and immunocytochemistry. In vitro analysis demonstrated that 134-mG2a-f highly exerted ADCC and CDC for a canine osteosarcoma cell line, D-17, which expresses endogenous dEGFR. Moreover, in vivo administration of 134-mG2a-f significantly suppressed the development of D-17 compared with the results in response to control mouse IgG. These results suggest that 134-mG2a-f exerts antitumor effects against dEGFR-expressing canine cancers, and could be valuable as part of an antibody treatment regimen for them.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Several studies in animal models have shown the safety and effectiveness of mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium (MSC-CM) in inflammatory lesions involving muscles and joints. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this report, we retrospectively evaluated 16 patients who received local administration of the human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells conditioned medium (hAMSC-CM) for musculoskeletal chronic pain. Overall, 27 body locations expressing pain have been treated. The local administrated dose was 5 ml in the joint cavity and/or 2 ml in the other locations. The patients were asked to conduct self-evaluation of the degree of pain using a numeric rating scale (NRS) questionnaire and record the severity of pain before administration and at 15 min, 1 day, 1 week, and 4 weeks after administration. A second administration has been performed in 7 locations. The analysis was done considering two conditions: the "current pain status" and the "worst pain status in a week." RESULTS The results showed statistically significant differences between before and after administration at each time point for "current pain status" and at 1-week and 4-week time points for "worst pain status in a week" after first administration (Tukey-Kramer test). After second administration, significant differences were found at 1-week and 4-week time points for "current pain status". No serious adverse effect was found. CONCLUSIONS It was concluded that local administration of hAMSC-CM appears to be safe and could be expected to have effective therapeutic value against musculoskeletal chronic pain. Further studies are needed to clarify analgesic effects of hAMSC-CM and its underlying mechanism(s).

Abstract
According to guidelines, carbon-ion beam therapy is considered to carry a high safety risk for patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), although the actual impacts remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the safety of carbon-ion beam therapy in patients with CIEDs. Patients with CIEDs who underwent carbon-ion therapy at Gunma University Heavy Ion Medical Center between June 2010 and December 2019 were identified and investigated for abnormalities in the operation of their CIEDs, such as oversensing and resetting during irradiation, and abnormalities in operation after treatment. In addition, the risk of irradiation from carbon-ion beam therapy was evaluated by model simulations. Twenty patients (22 sites) with CIEDs were identified, 19 with pacemakers and one with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Treatments were completed without any problems, except for one case in which the treatment was discontinued because of worsening of the primary disease. Monte Carlo simulation indicated that the carbon beam irradiation produced neutrons at a constant and high level in the irradiation field. Nevertheless, with the distances between the CIEDs and the irradiation fields in the analyzed cases, the quantity of neutrons at the CIEDs was lower than that within the irradiation. Although carbon-ion beam therapy can be safely administered to patients with CIEDs, it is advisable to perform the therapy with sufficient preparation and backup devices because of the risks involved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The onset of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is an essential outcome in Alzheimer's disease (AD) prevention trials and a compelling milestone for clinically meaningful change. Determining MCI, however, may be variable and subject to disagreement. Adjudication procedures may improve the reliability of these determinations. We report the performance of an adjudication committee for an AD prevention trial. METHODS The TOMMORROW prevention trial selected cognitively normal participants at increased genetic risk for AD and randomized them to low-dose pioglitazone or placebo treatment. When adjudication criteria were triggered, a participant's clinical information was randomly assigned to a three-member panel of a six-member independent adjudication committee. Determination of whether or not a participant reached MCI due to AD or AD dementia proceeded through up to three review stages - independent review, collaborative review, and full committee review - requiring a unanimous decision and ratification by the chair. RESULTS Of 3494 participants randomized, the committee adjudicated on 648 cases from 386 participants, resulting in 96 primary endpoint events. Most participants had cases that were adjudicated once (n = 235, 60.9%); the rest had cases that were adjudicated multiple times. Cases were evenly distributed among the eight possible three-member panels. Most adjudicated cases (485/648, 74.8%) were decided within the independent review (stage 1); 14.0% required broader collaborative review (stage 2), and 11.1% needed full committee discussion (stage 3). The primary endpoint event decision rate was 39/485 (8.0%) for stage 1, 29/91 (31.9%) for stage 2, and 28/72 (38.9%) for stage 3. Agreement between the primary event outcomes supported by investigators' clinical diagnoses and the decisions of the adjudication committee increased from 50% to approximately 93% (after around 100 cases) before settling at 80-90% for the remainder of the study. CONCLUSIONS The adjudication process was designed to provide independent, consistent determinations of the trial endpoints. These outcomes demonstrated the extent of uncertainty among trial investigators and agreement between adjudicators when the transition to MCI due to AD was prospectively assessed. These methods may inform clinical endpoint determination in future AD secondary prevention studies. Reliable, accurate assessment of clinical events is critical for prevention trials and may mean the difference between success and failure.

Abstract
The classic method for identifying the epitope that monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) bind uses deletion mutants and point mutants of the target protein. However, determining the epitope of mAbs-reactive membrane proteins is often challenging. We recently developed the RIEDL insertion for epitope mapping (REMAP) method to identify mAb-binding epitopes. Herein, we first checked the reactivity of an anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mAb (EMab-51) to several EGFR deletion mutants such as EGFR/dN152, EGFR/dN313, EGFR/dN370, EGFR/dN375, EGFR/dN380, and EGFR/dN482. We found the N-terminus of the EMab-51-binding epitope between residues 375 and 380 of EGFR. We next produced EGFR/dN313 mutants with the RIEDL peptide tag inserted at each possible position of 375-AFRGDSFTHTPPLDP-389. EMab-51 lost its reactivity with the mutants having a RIEDL tag inserted at each position of 377-RGDSFTHTPP-386, whereas LpMab-7 (an anti-RIEDL mAb) detected every mutant. Thus, using the REMAP method, we identified the EMab-51-binding epitope of EGFR as 377-RGDSFTHTPP-386.

Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a type I transmembrane protein, which is a member of the human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) family of receptor tyrosine kinases. EGFR is a crucial mediator of cell growth and differentiation and forms homodimers or heterodimers with other HER family members to activate downstream signaling cascades. We previously established an anti-human EGFR (hEGFR) monoclonal antibody (mAb), clone EMab-134 (mouse IgG1), by immunizing mice with the ectodomain of hEGFR. In this study, the subclass of EMab-134 was converted from IgG1 to IgG2a (134-mG2a) and further defucosylated (134-mG2a-f) to facilitate antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Although 134-mG2a-f was developed against hEGFR, it was shown to cross-react with dog EGFR (dEGFR) using flow cytometry. The dissociation constant (KD) of 134-mG2a-f against dEGFR-overexpressed CHO-K1 (CHO/dEGFR) cells was determined by flow cytometry to be 3.3 × 10-9 M, indicating that 134-mG2a-f possesses a high binding affinity to dEGFR. Analysis in vitro revealed that 134-mG2a-f contributed to high levels of ADCC and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) in experiments targeting CHO/dEGFR cells. Furthermore, the in vivo administration of 134-mG2a-f significantly inhibited the development of CHO/dEGFR in comparison with the results observed in response to control mouse IgG. Taken together, the findings of this study demonstrate that 134-mG2a-f could be useful as part of a therapeutic regimen for dEGFR-expressing canine cancers.

Abstract
Overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) has been reported in a variety of cancer types, including breast, lung, gastric, pancreatic, and colorectal cancers. Trastuzumab, a humanized anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody (mAb), has been shown to provide significant survival benefits in HER2-overexpressing breast cancer and gastric cancer patients. Previously, an anti-HER2 mAb, H2Mab-41 (IgG2b, kappa), was developed in our laboratory and its antitumor activity was demonstrated in mouse xenograft models of human colon cancer. The present study aimed to investigate the ability of H2Mab-41 to induce antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) in dog HER2 (dHER2)-overexpressed cell lines, and thus exert its antitumor activity against dHER2-overexpressed tumors in vivo. Flow cytometry results demonstrated the cross-reactivity of H2Mab-41 with dHER2. Further evaluation of interaction between H2Mab-41 and dHER2-overexpressed CHO-K1 (CHO/dHER2) cells indicated moderate binding affinity of H2Mab-41 toward dHER2, with a dissociation constant (KD) of 2.6 × 10-8 M. In vitro analysis revealed that the administration of H2Mab-41 induced high levels of ADCC and CDC in CHO/dHER2 cells. Furthermore, intraperitoneal administration of H2Mab-41 in mouse xenograft models of CHO/dHER2 resulted in significant inhibition of tumor development compared to the control mouse IgG. Thus, the findings of the present study demonstrated the in vivo safety and efficacy of H2Mab-41, highlighting its suitability to be included as a part of a therapeutic regimen for dHER2-expressing canine cancers.

Abstract
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a type I transmembrane 185 kDa protein. HER2 is expressed in a variety of normal tissue types and cancer cells. HER2 is associated with cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. The overexpression of HER2 has been observed in a number of cancers, including breast and gastric cancers. Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, with an annual case rate of ∼1 million people diagnosed with the disease. Trastuzumab is a humanized anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that has been utilized in gastric cancer therapy. In this study, we have developed a novel anti-HER2 mAb, H2Mab-181 (IgG1, kappa), through the immunization of mice with a purified recombinant extracellular domain of HER2. H2Mab-181 can specifically and sensitively detect HER2 in both flow cytometry and Western blot applications in gastric cancer cell lines and can also be utilized in immunohistochemical analyses of gastric cancer tissues. Together, H2Mab-181 could be useful for the diagnosis and therapy in gastric cancers.

Abstract
Podoplanin (PDPN), a 36-kDa type I transmembrane O-glycoprotein, is expressed in normal cells, including renal epithelial cells (podocytes), lymphatic endothelial cells, and pulmonary type I alveolar cells, and in cancer cells, including brain tumors and squamous cell lung carcinomas. PDPN activates platelet aggregation by binding to C-type lectin-like receptor-2 (CLEC-2) on platelets, and PDPN/CLEC-2 interaction facilitates blood/lymphatic vessel separation. We previously produced an anti-human PDPN monoclonal antibody (mAb), clone NZ-1 (rat IgG2a, lambda) and its rat-human chimeric mAbs (NZ-8/NZ-12), which neutralize PDPN/CLEC-2 interactions and inhibit platelet aggregation and cancer metastasis. In this study, we first developed a humanized anti-human PDPN mAb, named as NZ-27. We further produced a core-fucose-deficient version of NZ-27, named as P1027 and a core-fucose-deficient version of NZ-12, named as NZ-12f. We investigated the binding affinity, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), and antitumor activity of P1027 and NZ-12f. We demonstrated that the binding affinities of P1027 and NZ-12f against LN319 (a human glioblastoma cell line) are 1.1 × 10-8 and 3.9 × 10-9 M, respectively. ADCC reporter assays demonstrated that NZ-12f shows 1.5 times higher luminescence than P1027. Furthermore, NZ-12f showed 2.2 times higher ADCC than P1027, whereas both P1027 and NZ-12f showed high CDC activities against LN319 cells. Using LN319 xenograft models, P1027 and NZ-12f significantly reduced tumor development in an LN319 xenograft model compared with control human IgG. Treatment with P1027 and NZ-12f may be a useful therapy for patients with PDPN-expressing cancers.

Abstract
Podoplanin (PDPN) plays a pivotal role in platelet aggregation, embryo development, and tumor progression. PDPN is universally expressed in many mammalian species, and is considered a typical lymphatic endothelial cell marker. We have previously developed the mouse anti-California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) PDPN (seaPDPN) monoclonal antibody (mAb), clone PMab-269, which is suitable for different experimental applications, including flow cytometry, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. In this study, we identified the PMab-269 epitope of the seaPDPN by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using deletion mutants and point mutants generated for seaPDPN. Our results demonstrated that PMab-269 recognized the peptide, corresponding to the amino acids 63-82 of seaPDPN. Furthermore, the reactions of PMab-269 to seven alanine-substituted peptides, such as P68A, D76A, F77A, H78A, L79A, E80A, and D81A, were abolished among 20 alanine-substituted peptides. We identified the seven amino acids (Pro68, Asp76, Phe77, His78, Leu79, Glu80, and Asp81) as the critical epitope targeted by PMab-269. The successful identification of the PMab-269 epitope might contribute to the pathophysiological investigations of seaPDPN.

Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a tyrosine kinase receptor that plays an important role in normal epidermal cell physiology. EGFR is overexpressed in cancer cells and has a number of mutations that implicate tumor malignancy, development, and poor patient prognosis; thus, EGFR is an attractive target for cancer therapy. At present, anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been approved and are used for treating patients with a variety of EGFR-expressing cancers. Epitope mapping is important in identifying the therapeutic mechanism of anti-EGFR mAbs; however, the development of epitope mapping techniques lags behind the development of antimolecular target mAbs, including anti-EGFR mAbs. Hence, in this study, a novel epitope mapping method, RIEDL insertion for epitope mapping (REMAP) method, was developed. The results of this study demonstrated that the critical epitope of anti-EGFR mAb EMab-134 is Gly378, Asp379, Ser380, Phe381, Thr382, His383, Thr384, Pro385, and Pro386 of EGFR. The REMAP method could be useful for determining the critical epitope of functional mAbs against many target molecules.

Abstract
HER3 belongs to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family and is known to form an active heterodimer with other three family members EGFR, HER2, and HER4. HER3 is overexpressed in lung, breast, colon, prostate, and gastric cancers. In the present study, we developed and validated an anti-HER3 monoclonal antibody (mAb), H3Mab-17 (IgG2a, kappa), by immunizing mice with HER3-overexpressed CHO-K1 cells (CHO/HER3). H3Mab-17 was found to react specifically with endogenous HER3 in colorectal carcinoma cell lines, using flow cytometry. The KD for H3Mab-17 in CHO/HER3 and Caco-2 (a colon cancer cell line) were determined to be 3.0×10−9 M and 1.5×10−9 M via flow cytometry, respectively, suggesting high binding affinity of H3Mab-17 to HER3. Then, we assessed the H3Mab-17 antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) against Caco-2, and evaluated its antitumor capacity in a Caco-2 ×enograft model. In vitro experiments revealed H3Mab-17 had strongly induced both ADCC and CDC against Caco-2 cells. In vivo experiments on Caco-2 ×enografts revealed that H3Mab-17 treatment significantly reduced tumor growth compared with the control mouse IgG. These data indicated that H3Mab-17 could be a promising treatment option for HER3-expressing colon cancers.

Abstract
Podoplanin (PDPN) plays an important role in the development of many normal tissues and is expressed in various cancers. We have previously developed multiple monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against PDPNs from a variety of animal species and characterized each of these PDPNs using the anti-PDPN mAbs. In this study, we evaluated whether these anti-PDPN mAbs possess cross-reactivity with ferret PDPN (ferPDPN) using flow cytometry. Comprehensive analysis using 17 differing anti-PDPN mAbs available for immunohistochemistry use, demonstrated that the anti-bear PDPN mAb (clone PMab-241) strongly cross-reacts with ferPDPN-overexpressed Chinese hamster ovary-K1 (CHO/ferPDPN) cells. Immunohistochemistry analysis demonstrated intense PMab-241 staining within Bowman's capsules and glomeruli of the ferret kidney, and lymphatic endothelial cells of the ferret lung. These results demonstrate that PMab-241 is suitable for the detection of PDPN in ferret tissues.

Abstract
CC chemokine receptor 9 (CCR9) belongs to the beta chemokine receptor family and is mainly distributed on the surface of immature T lymphocytes and enterocytes. This receptor is highly expressed in rheumatoid arthritis, colitis, type 2 diabetes, and various tumors. Therefore, more sensitive monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) need to be developed to predict the prognosis of many high CCR9 expression diseases. Because CCR9 is a structurally unstable G protein-coupled receptor, it has been difficult to develop anti-CCR9 mAbs using the traditional method. This study developed anti-human CCR9 (hCCR9) mAbs for flow cytometry using a Cell-Based Immunization and Screening (CBIS) method. Two mice were immunized with hCCR9-overexpressed Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells (CHO/hCCR9), and hybridomas showing strong signals from CHO/hCCR9 and no signals from CHO-K1 cells were selected by flow cytometry. We established an anti-hCCR9 mAb, C9Mab-1 (IgG1, kappa), which detected hCCR9 in MOLT-4 leukemia T lymphoblast cells and CHO/hCCR9 cells by flow cytometry. Our study showed that an anti-hCCR9 mAb was developed more rapidly by the CBIS method than the previous method.

Abstract
The development of specific antibodies is essential to understand a wide variety of biological phenomena and pathophysiological analyses. Podoplanin (PDPN), a type I transmembrane glycoprotein, is known as a diagnostic marker. Anti-PDPN monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against many species, such as human, mouse, rat, rabbit, dog, bovine, cat, tiger, horse, pig, goat, alpaca, Tasmanian devil, bear, whale, and sheep, have been established in recent studies. However, sensitive and specific mAbs against elephant PDPN (elePDPN) have not been established. Thus, this study established a novel mAb against African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) PDPN using the Cell-Based Immunization and Screening method. elePDPN-overexpressed Chinese hamster ovary-K1 (CHO/elePDPN) cells were immunized, and mAbs were screened against elePDPN using flow cytometry. One of the mAbs, PMab-265 (IgM, κ), specifically detected CHO/elePDPN cells by flow cytometry. These findings suggested the potential usefulness of PMab-265 for the functional analyses of elePDPN.

Abstract
The development of protein-specific antibodies is essential for understanding a wide variety of biological phenomena. Parasitic and viral infections and cancers are known to occur within California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) populations. However, sensitive and specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for the pathophysiological analysis of California sea lion tissues have not yet been developed. A type I transmembrane glycoprotein, podoplanin (PDPN), is a known diagnostic marker of lymphatic endothelial cells. We have previously developed several anti-PDPN mAbs in various mammalian species, with applications in flow cytometry, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. In this study, we established a novel mAb against California sea lion PDPN (seaPDPN), clone PMab-269 (mouse IgG1, kappa), using a Cell-Based Immunization and Screening method. PMab-269 is specifically detected in seaPDPN-overexpressed Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells using flow cytometry and Western blotting. Moreover, PMab-269 clearly identified pulmonary type I alveolar cells, renal podocytes, and colon lymphatic endothelial cells in California sea lion tissues using immunohistochemistry. These findings demonstrate the usefulness of PMab-269 for the pathophysiological analysis of lung, kidney, and lymphatic tissues of the California sea lion.

Abstract
Trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (TROP2), reported to be overexpressed in several types of cancer, is involved in cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and poor prognosis of many types of cancer. Previously, a highly sensitive anti-TROP2 monoclonal antibody (clone TrMab-6; mouse IgG2b, κ) was developed using a Cell-Based Immunization and Screening (CBIS) method. TrMab-6 was useful for investigations using flow cytometry, western blot, and immunohistochemistry. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether TrMab-6 possesses in vitro antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) or complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) activities or in vivo antitumor activities using mouse xenograft models of TROP2-overexpressed CHO-K1 (CHO/TROP2) and breast cancer cell lines, including MCF7, MDA-MB-231, and MDA-MB-468. In vitro experiments revealed that TrMab-6 strongly induced ADCC and CDC activities against CHO/TROP2 and the three breast cancer cell lines, whereas it did not show those activities against parental CHO-K1 and MCF7/TROP2-knockout cells. Furthermore, in vivo experiments on CHO/TROP2 and MCF7 ×enografts revealed that TrMab-6 significantly reduced tumor growth, whereas it did not show antitumor activities against parental CHO-K1 and MCF7/TROP2-knockout xenografts. The findings suggest that TrMab-6 is a promising treatment option for TROP2-expressing breast cancers.

Abstract
CC chemokine receptor 3 (CCR3), also known as CD193, belongs to class A of G protein-coupled receptors and is present in high levels in eosinophils, basophils, and airway epithelial cells. CCR3 is considered the therapeutic target for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections and allergic diseases; therefore, the development of sensitive monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for CCR3 has been desired. This study aimed to establish a specific and sensitive mAb against mouse CCR3 (mCCR3) useful for flow cytometry analysis by employing the Cell-Based Immunization and Screening (CBIS) method. The generated anti-mCCR3 mAb, C3Mab-2 (rat IgG2b, kappa), was found to react with mCCR3-overexpressed Chinese hamster ovary-K1 (CHO/mCCR3) cells, according to flow cytometric analysis. Also, it reacted with P388 (mouse lymphoid neoplasm) or J774-1 (mouse macrophage-like) cells, which express endogenous mCCR3. Taken together, C3Mab-2, generated by the CBIS method, can be a valuable tool for detecting mCCR3 on the surface of mouse cells.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) recently made a significant survival rate improvement in cancer treatment. T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT) is expressed in T and NK cells related to their activities. It has a single extracellular immunoglobulin domain, a type 1 transmembrane domain, and a single intracellular ITIM. TIGIT binds with poliovirus receptor (PVR) or PVR2, resulting in suppressing T and NK cell activities. Some studies showed that the combined use of a TIGIT inhibitor with another immune checkpoint inhibitor enhanced antitumor activities more strongly than their single use. Therefore, TIGIT should be a new target for immunotherapy. In this study, we developed new anti-human TIGIT (hTIGIT) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) using the Cell-Based Immunization and Screening (CBIS) method. Mice were immunized with hTIGIT-overexpressed Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells (CHO/hTIGIT), and hybridomas were screened by flow cytometry. One of the mAbs, TgMab-2 (IgG1, kappa), specifically and sensitively detects hTIGIT in CHO/hTIGIT and NK cells. The dissociation constants (KD) of TgMab-2 for CHO/hTIGIT cells were determined to be 3.5 × 10-9 M. These results suggest that TgMab-2, which was developed by CBIS method, is useful for analyzing the function of hTIGIT by flow cytometry.

Abstract
CC chemokine receptor 8 (CCR8) belongs to the class A of G protein-coupled receptor. It is highly expressed on Treg and T helper 2 (TH2) cells recruited to the inflammation site and is implicated in allergy and asthma. Recently, CCR8+Treg cells have been suggested to be a master regulator in the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment; therefore, developing sensitive monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for CCR8 has been desired. This study established a specific and sensitive mAb for mouse CCR8 (mCCR8), which is useful for flow cytometry by using the Cell-Based Immunization and Screening (CBIS) method. The established anti-mCCR8 mAb, C8Mab-2 (rat IgG2b, kappa), reacted with mCCR8-overexpressed Chinese hamster ovary-K1 (CHO/mCCR8) cells and P388 (mouse lymphoid neoplasma) or J774-1 (mouse macrophage-like) cells, which express endogenous mCCR8 by flow cytometry. C8Mab-2, which was established by the CBIS method, could be useful for elucidating the mCCR8-related biological response by flow cytometry.

Abstract
CD19 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is expressed in normal and neoplastic B cells, and it modulates the threshold of B cell activation for amplifying B cell receptor signaling. Blinatumomab (a CD3-CD19-bispecific T cell-engaging antibody) and tisagenlecleucel (genetically modified T cells that express a CD19 chimeric antigen receptor [CART-19]) provide significant benefits for patients with CD19-positive relapsed or refractory B cell malignancies. In this study, we first employed the Cell-Based Immunization and Screening (CBIS) method to produce anti-CD19 monoclonal antibodies using CD19-overexpressing cells for both immunization and screening. One established clone-C19Mab-1-proved to be useful in flow cytometry assays against lymphoma cell lines, such as BALL-1, P30/OHK, and Raji. Second, the extracellular domain of CD19 was immunized into mice, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were performed for the first screening. One established clone-C19Mab-3-was determined to be useful for Western blotting and immunohistochemical analysis. Due to their complementary utility, a combination of C19Mab-1 (established using CBIS) and C19Mab-3 (established using conventional method) could be useful for the pathological analysis of CD19.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This report describes the efficacy and utility of recruiting older individuals by mail to participate in research on cognitive health and aging using Electronic Health Records (EHR). METHODS Individuals age 65 or older identified by EHR in the Mount Sinai Health System as likely to have Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) were sent a general recruitment letter (N=12,951). A comparison group of individuals with comparable age and matched for gender also received the letter (N=3,001). RESULTS Of the 15,952 individuals who received the mailing, 953 (6.0%) responded. 215 (1.3%) declined further contact. Overall rate of expression of interest was 4.6%. Of the 738 individuals who responded positively to further contact, 321 indicated preference for further contact by telephone. Follow-up of these individuals yielded 30 enrollments (0.2% of 15,952). No differences in response rate were noted between MCI and comparison groups, but the comparison group yielded higher enrollment. 6 individuals who were not the intended recipients of mailing but nevertheless contacted our study were also enrolled. CONCLUSIONS Mailings to individuals identified through a trusted source, such as a medical center from which they have received clinical care, may be a viable means of reaching individuals within this age group as this effort yielded a low rejection rate. However, EHR information did not enhance study enrollment. Implications for improving recruitment are discussed.

Abstract
Diacylglycerol kinase δ (DGKδ) is a type II DGK, which catalyzes diacylglycerol phosphorylation to produce phosphatidic acid. DGKδ is expressed in several types of tissues and organs including the stomach, testis, bone marrow, and lymph node. Here, we established an anti-human DGKδ (hDGKδ) mAb, DdMab-1 (mouse IgG2a, kappa), which is useful for Western blot analysis. We also introduced deletion or point mutations to hDGKδ, and performed western blotting to determine the binding epitope of DdMab-1. DdMab-1 reacted with the dN670 mutant, but not with the dN680 mutant, indicating that the N-terminus of the DdMab-1 epitope is mainly located between amino acids 670 and 680 of the protein. Further analysis using point mutants demonstrated that R675A, R678A, K679A, and K682A mutants were not detected, and V680A was only weakly detected by DdMab-1, indicating that Arg675, Arg678, Lys679, Val680 and Lys682 are important for binding of DdMab-1 to hDGKδ. DGKδ catalyzes diacylglycerol phosphorylation to produce phosphatidic acid. We established a novel anti-hDGKδ mAb, DdMab-1. DdMab-1 is useful for Western blot analysis. R675, R678, K679, V680, and K682 are important for binding of DdMab-1 to hDGKδ.

Abstract
AIM Aspergillus niger S17-5 produces two alkylitaconic acids, 9-hydroxyhexylitaconic acid (9-HHIA) and 10-hydroxyhexylitaconic acid (10-HHIA), which have cytotoxic and polymer building block properties. In this study, we characterized the production of 9-HHIA and 10-HHIA by addition of their expected precursor, caprylic acid, to a culture of A. niger S17-5, and demonstrated batch fermentation of 9-HHIA and 10-HHIA in a jar fermenter with DO-stat. METHODS AND RESULTS Production titres of 9-HHIA and 10-HHIA from 3% glucose in a flask after 25 days cultivation were 0·35 and 1·01 g l-1 respectively. Addition of 0·22 g l-1 of caprylic acid to a suspension of resting cells of A. niger S17-5 led to 32% enhancement of total 9-HHIA and 10-HHIA production compared to no addition. No enhancement of the production of 9-HHIA or 10-HHIA by the addition of oxaloacetic acid was observed. Addition of caprylic acid to the culture at mid-growth phase was more suitable for 9-HHIA and 10-HHIA production due to less cell growth inhibition by caprylic acid. DO-stat batch fermentation with 3% glucose and 14·4 g l-1 of caprylic acid in a 1·5 l jar fermenter resulted in the production titres of 9-HHIA and 10-HHIA being 0·48 and 1·54 g l-1 respectively after 10 days of cultivation. CONCLUSIONS Addition of caprylic acid to the culture of A. niger S17-5 enhances 9-HHIA and 10-HHIA production. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY These results suggest that 9-HHIA and 10-HHIA are synthesized with octanoyl-CoA derived from caprylic acid, and that the supply of octanoyl-CoA is a rate-limiting step in 9-HHIA and 10-HHIA production. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report regarding the fermentation of naturally occurring itaconic acid derivatives in a jar fermenter.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) is a poor prognostic disease. Some causative genes were reported as the PAH-associated genes. However, the pathogenetic variants in PAH-associated genes have not been identified in majority of patients with idiopathic PAH.
Purpose
Our aim was to investigate the new causative gene variants associated with PAH.
Methods
We performed whole-exome sequencing in 272 patients with idiopathic/heritable PAH. Structural analysis simulation was performed to define how the candidate gene variant affected the structure of protein.
Results
We identified the heterozygous substitution change of c.226G>A (p.Gly76Ser, rs146436713) in tumor necrotic factor receptor superfamily 13B gene (TNFRSF13B) (NM_012452.2) in 6 (2.2%) patients with idiopathic/heritable PAH, although the allele frequency of this rare variant is 0% in Integrative Japanese Genome Variation Database (control population database). Two of the six cases were blood relatives, although they did not have the known causative gene variants of PAH. One of these two relatives died of right heart failure despite the combination medical therapy, and her pathological anatomy demonstrated intimal thickening and medial hypertrophy in the pulmonary arteries, formation of plexiform lesions (Heath-Edwards classification grade V). Time-lapse images from structural analysis simulation showed the instability of N-terminal in the protein, which regulates the vascular inflammation, synthesized from TNFRSF13B p.Gly76Ser variant (Figure), suggesting that p.Gly76Ser variant may be involved in the development of PAH via aberrant inflammation in pulmonary vessels.
Conclusions
TNFRSF13B p.Gly76Ser variant is a candidate of causative gene variant for PAH.

Abstract
The epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is a calcium-independent, homophilic, intercellular adhesion factor classified as a transmembrane glycoprotein. In addition to cell adhesion, EpCAM also contributes to cell signaling, differentiation, proliferation, and migration. EpCAM is an essential factor in the carcinogenesis of numerous human cancers. In the present study, we developed and validated an anti-EpCAM monoclonal antibody (mAb), EpMab-16 (IgG2a, kappa), by immunizing mice with EpCAM-overexpressing CHO-K1 cells. EpMab-16 specifically reacted with endogenous EpCAM in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines in flow cytometry and Western blot analyses. It exhibited a plasma membrane-like stain pattern in OSCC tissues upon immunohistochemical analysis. The KD for EpMab-16 in SAS and HSC-2 OSCC cells were assessed via flow cytometry at 1.1×10−8 and 1.9×10−8 M, respectively, suggesting moderate binding affinity of EpMab-16 for EpCAM. We then assessed whether the EpMab-16 induced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) against OSCC cell lines, and antitumor capacity in a murine xenograft model. In vitro experiments revealed strong ADCC and CDC inducement against OSCC cells treated with EpMab-16. In vivo experiments on OSCC xenografts revealed that EpMab-16 treatment significantly reduced tumor growth compared with the control mouse IgG. These data indicated that EpMab-16 could be a promising treatment option for EpCAM-expressing OSCCs.

Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a transmembrane receptor and member of the human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) family of receptor tyrosine kinases, is a critical mediator of cell growth and differentiation. EGFR forms homo- or heterodimers with other HER family members to activate downstream signaling cascades in a number of cancer cells. In a previous study, the authors established an anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody (mAb), EMab-134, by immunizing mice with the ectodomain of human EGFR. EMab-134 binds specifically to endogenous EGFR and can be used to detect receptor on oral cancer cell lines by flow cytometry and western blot analysis; this antibody is also effective for the immunohistochemical evaluation of oral cancer tissues. In the present study, the subclass of EMab-134 was converted from IgG1 to IgG2a (134-mG2a) to facilitate antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). The dissociation constants (KDs) of EMab-134 and 134-mG2a against EGFR-expressing CHO-K1 (CHO/EGFR) cells were deter-mined by flow cytometry to be 3.2×10−9 M and 2.1×10−9 M, respectively; these results indicate that 134-mG2a has a higher binding affinity than EMab-134. The 134-mG2a antibody was more sensitive than EMab-134 with respect to antigen detection in oral cancer cells in both western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry applications. Analysis in vitro revealed that 134-mG2a contributed to high levels of ADCC and CDC in experiments targeting CHO/EGFR, HSC-2, and SAS cells. Moreover, the in vivo administration of 134-mG2a significantly inhibited the development of CHO/EGFR, HSC-2, and SAS mouse xenografts in comparison to the results observed in response to EMab-134. Taken together, the findings of the present study demonstrate that the newly-formulated 134-mG2a is useful for detecting EGFR by flow cytometry, western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, the in vivo results suggested that it may also be useful as part of a therapeutic regimen for patients with EGFR-expressing oral cancer.

Abstract
CD44 is widely expressed on the surface of most tissues and all hematopoietic cells, and regulates many genes associated with cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, differentiation, and survival. CD44 has also been studied as a therapeutic target in several cancers. Previously, an anti-CD44 monoclonal antibody (mAb), C44Mab-5 (IgG1, kappa) was established by immunizing mice with CD44-overexpressing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells. C44Mab-5 recognized all CD44 isoforms, and showed high sensitivity for flow cytometry and immunohistochemical analysis in oral cancers. However, as the IgG1 subclass of C44Mab-5 lacks antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), the antitumor activity of C44Mab-5 could not be determined. In the present study, we converted the mouse IgG1 subclass antibody C44Mab-5 into an IgG2a subclass antibody, 5-mG2a, and further produced a defucosylated version, 5-mG2a-f, using FUT8-deficient ExpiCHO-S (BINDS-09) cells. Defucosylation of 5-mG2a-f was confirmed using fucose-binding lectins, such as AAL and PhoSL. The dissociation constants (KD) for 5-mG2a-f against SAS and HSC-2 oral cancer cells were determined through flow cytometry to be 2.8×10−10 M and 2.6×10−9 M, respectively, indicating that 5-mG2a-f possesses extremely high binding affinity. Furthermore, immunohistochemical staining using 5-mG2a-f specifically stained the membranes of oral cancer cells. In vitro analysis demonstrated that 5-mG2a-f showed moderate ADCC and CDC activities against SAS and HSC-2 oral cancer cells. In vivo analysis revealed that 5-mG2a-f significantly reduced tumor development in SAS and HSC-2 ×enografts in comparison to control mouse IgG, even after injection seven days post-tumor inoculation. Collectively, these results suggest that treatment with 5-mG2a-f may represent a useful therapy for patients with CD44-expressing oral cancers.

Abstract
Anti-podoplanin (PDPN) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are needed as markers for lymphatic endothelial cells or type I alveolar cells in immunohistochemical analyses. We have developed anti-PDPN mAbs for many species, including humans, mice, rats, rabbits, dogs, cats, bovines, pigs, Tasmanian devils, alpacas, tigers, whales, goats, horses, and bears. This study develops and characterizes anti-sheep PDPN (sPDPN) mAbs using Cell-Based Immunization and Screening (CBIS) method. A RAP14 tag was added to the N-terminus of sPDPN, and an anti-RAP14 tag mAb (PMab-2) was used to measure the expression level of sPDPN in flow cytometry and Western blots. We immunized mice with sPDPN-overexpressing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 (CHO/sPDPN) cells and screened mAbs against sPDPN using flow cytometry. Two of the mAbs, PMab-253 (immunoglobulin M [IgM], kappa) and PMab-260 (IgM, kappa), detected CHO/sPDPN cells specifically using flow cytometry and Western blots. Both PMab-253 and PMab-260 stained the renal glomerulus and Bowman's capsule, lymphatic endothelial cells of the lung and colon, and type I alveolar cells of the lung, suggesting PMab-253 and PMab-260, which were developed by CBIS method, can be applied to functional analyses of sPDPN. We also determined the binding epitope of PMab-253 and PMab-260 using flow cytometry. Analysis of sPDPN deletion mutants revealed that the N-terminus of the PMab-253 and PMab-260 epitope exists between amino acids 110 and 115 of sPDPN. Analysis of sPDPN point mutations revealed that the critical epitope of PMab-253 and PMab-260 includes Thr112 and Ser113 of sPDPN, indicating that the PMab-253 and PMab-260 epitope are independent of the platelet aggregation-stimulating (PLAG) domain or the PLAG-like domain of sPDPN.

Abstract
Trastuzumab is a humanized antibody against human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) that offers significant survival benefits to patients with HER2-overexpressing breast or gastric cancer. HER2 is also known to be overexpressed in colon cancers. In this study, a novel anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody (mAb), H2Mab-19 (IgG2b, κ) was characterized for its anticancer activity in colon cancers. H2Mab-19 showed both antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity activities against Caco-2, a colon cancer cell line. Furthermore, H2Mab-19 significantly reduced tumor development in a Caco-2 xenograft model. These results suggest that treatment with H2Mab-19 may be a useful therapy for patients with HER2-expressing colon cancers.

Abstract
Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) plays a pivotal role in intracellular signaling pathways in mammals. Activated G protein-coupled receptor activates phospholipase C (PLC) through heterotrimeric G protein, following which PLC hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) into diacylglycerol (DG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3). DGK catalyzes DG phosphorylation to produce phosphatidic acid. DG and phosphatidic acid function as second messengers and their intracellular concentrations are regulated by DGK; therefore, DGK plays an important role in regulating many biological processes. There are ten DGK isozymes, of which DGKη is classified as a type II DGK. Reports have shown that DGKη is associated with several diseases; for example, it is highly expressed in the hippocampus and cerebellum and is a key element in bipolar disorder. Although a DGKη-specific monoclonal antibody (mAb) is necessary to reveal the association between the expression of DGKη and diseases, an anti-DGKη mAb for immunohistochemistry has not yet been established. In this study, we established a specific anti-human DGKη (hDGKη) mAb, DhMab-4 (mouse IgG2b, kappa). DhMab-4 strongly stained Purkinje cells of human cerebellum in immunohistochemistry analysis. For epitope mapping of DhMab-4, we produced deletion or point mutants of hDGKη and performed western blotting to determine the binding epitope of DhMab-4. DhMab-4 reacted with dN745 mutant but not with dN750 mutant, indicating that the N-terminus of the DhMab-4 epitope is located between amino acids 745 and 750. More detailed analysis using point mutants demonstrated that five mutants, that is, D747A, P748A, F749A, G750A, and T752A, were not detected by DhMab-4. These results indicate that Asp747, Pro748, Phe749, Gly750, and Thr752 are important for DhMab-4 binding to hDGKη.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has emerged as an alternative to oral anticoagulation (OAC) for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation and may be especially attractive in patients with high risk or a history of bleeding. However, data of clinical benefit and incidence of post-procedural bleeding in patients with both high risk of bleeding and ischemic cerebral stroke after LAAC are lacking.
Objectives
This study sought to identify predictors and the prognostic impact of post-LAAC bleeding in patients at high risk and/or history of bleeding in the direct oral anticoagulant therapy (DOAC) era.
Methods and results
We retrospectively enrolled a total of 195 patients (75 ± 8.7 years, 38% female, 47% with previous major bleeding, mean CHA2DS2-VASc score 4.3 ± 1.6 and mean HAS-BLED score 2.7 ± 1.1) undergoing endocardial (91%) or epicardial (9%) LAAC during a mean follow-up of 339 ± 319 days. Twenty-three (11.9%) patients developed procedure-unrelated bleeding events after a median of 147 (43, 362) days after LAAC, in 12/23 (52%) patients under single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT), 6/23 (26%) dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), 1/23 (4%) DOAC, 1/23 (4%) VKA, 2/23 (9%) dual therapy (SAPT and DOAC/VKA) and 1/23 (4%) triple therapy (DAPT and DOAC/VKA). (Figure) Diabetes mellitus and previous major bleeding were identified as the independent predictors of post-LAAC bleeding (Odds ratio 2.65 [95% CI:1.04-6.73], p = 0.041, and 5.50 [95% confidence interval:1.72-17.5], p = 0.004). Post-LAAC bleeding was associated with all-cause death (9/23 [39%] vs 18/171 [11%], p = 0.001), but not ischemic stroke/TIA (1/23 [4%] vs 6/171 [4%], p = 0.593) nor device thrombus (2/23 [9%] vs 3/171 [2%], p = 0.108). Kaplan-Meier curve estimated that patients with post-LAAC bleeding had a worse mortality than those without post-LAAC bleeding (3-year mortality; 35.6% [95%CI; 11.6-61.0%] vs 68.7% [45.0-83.8], p = 0.029)
Conclusions
In AF patients with high bleeding risk or history of bleeding undergoing LAAC, bleeding events are common and may occur even after long-term duration after LAAC. Previous major bleeding history strongly predicts subsequent bleeding events following LAAC and is associated with unfavorable mortality. Further investigations are required to identify optimal post-procedural antithrombotic strategies for patients undergoing LAAC with previous major bleeding.

Abstract
An antisheep podoplanin (sPDPN) monoclonal antibody (mAb), PMab-256, has recently been established. PMab-256 shows positive immunostaining for lymphatic endothelial cells, lung type I alveolar cells, and kidney podocytes. PDPN possesses three platelet-aggregation-stimulating (PLAG) domains, PLAG1, PLAG2, and PLAG3, and a PLAG-like domain (PLD). The binding epitope of many anti-PDPN mAbs is located in PLAG domains or PLD. The purpose of this study is to determine the binding epitope of PMab-256. Analysis of sPDPN deletion mutants revealed that the N-terminus of the PMab-256 epitope exists between amino acids 75 and 80 of sPDPN. Furthermore, analysis of sPDPN point mutations demonstrated that the critical epitope includes Thr80 of sPDPN, indicating that the PMab-256 epitope is in the PLD of sPDPN.

Abstract
Overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) has been reported in breast cancer, gastric, lung, colorectal, oral, and pancreatic cancers. HER2 expression is associated with poor clinical outcomes. An anti-HER2 humanized antibody, trastuzumab, has improved survival rates in patients with HER2-overexpressing breast and gastric cancers. Previously, we established a novel anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody (mAb), H2Mab-19 (IgG2b, kappa). It has also been characterized for breast, oral, and colon cancers. In this study, we investigated the antitumor activities of H2Mab-19 in pancreatic cancer xenograft models. We selected MIA PaCa-2, a pancreatic cancer cell line which expresses HER2. H2Mab-19 showed high binding affinity (KD: 1.2 × 10-8 M) against MIA PaCa-2 cells. Furthermore, H2Mab-19 significantly reduced tumor development in a MIA PaCa-2 xenograft model. These results suggest that treatment with H2Mab-19 may be a useful therapy for patients with HER2-expressing pancreatic cancers.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that specifically target podoplanin (PDPN), a marker for type I alveolar cells, are needed for immunohistochemical analyses. Anti-PDPN mAbs are available for many species, including human, mouse, rat, rabbit, dog, cat, bovine, pig, Tasmanian devil, alpaca, tiger, whale, goat, horse, bear, and sheep PDPNs. However, no antilion PDPN (lioPDPN) antibody has been developed. In this study, possible cross-reaction between available anti-PDPN mAbs and lioPDPN was examined. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that antitiger PDPN mAb PMab-231 (IgG2a, kappa) reacted with type I alveolar cells from lion lung, indicating that PMab-231 is useful for the detection of lioPDPN.

Abstract
Anti-bear podoplanin (bPDPN) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), including PMab-247 and PMab-241, have been previously established. Although PMab-247 has shown positive immunostaining for lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs), type I alveolar cells of the lung, and podocytes of the kidney, PMab-241 stains LECs but does not react with lung type I alveolar cells. PDPN possesses three platelet aggregation-stimulating (PLAG) domains (PLAG1, PLAG2, and PLAG3) and the PLAG-like domain (PLD). The binding epitope of PMab-247 was previously determined to include bPDPN residues Asp76, Arg78, Glu80, and Arg82. Among these, Glu80 and Arg82 are included in PLD of bPDPN. The purpose of this study is to determine the binding epitope of PMab-241 and to clarify the difference between these two anti-bPDPN mAbs. Analysis of bPDPN deletion mutants revealed that the N-terminus of the PMab-241 epitope exists between amino acids (aa) 75 and 80 of bPDPN. In addition, analysis of bPDPN point mutants demonstrated that the critical epitope of PMab-241 includes Thr75, Asp76, and Arg78 of bPDPN. The binding epitopes of PMab-241 and PMab-247 seem to overlap, but this slight difference may be sufficient to provide the specificity of PMab-241 to discriminate LECs from type I alveolar cells of the lung.

Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), which consist of a monoclonal antibody (mAb), a linker, and a payload, can deliver a drug to cancer tissues. We previously produced an anti-dog podoplanin (dPDPN) mAb, PMab-38, which reacts with dPDPN-expressing canine melanomas and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), but not with dPDPN-expressing canine type I alveolar cells or lymphatic endothelial cells, indicating that PMab-38 possesses cancer specificity. In this study, we developed an ADC, P38B-DM1, using the mouse-canine chimeric anti-dPDPN antibody, P38B as the antibody, a peptide linker, and emtansine as the payload using the chemical conjugation by affinity peptide (CCAP) method. We investigated its cytotoxicity against dPDPN-overexpressed Chinese hamster ovary (CHO/dPDPN) cells in vitro and its antitumor activity using a mouse xenograft model of CHO/dPDPN cells. P38B-DM1 showed cytotoxicity to CHO/dPDPN cells in a dose-dependent manner in vitro. Furthermore, P38B-DM1 exhibited higher antitumor activity than P38B in the mouse xenograft model. These results suggest that P38B-DM1, developed using the CCAP method, is useful for antibody therapy against dPDPN-expressing canine SCCs and melanomas.

Abstract
Podoplanin (PDPN) is a small mucin-type transmembrane glycoprotein, which was first discovered in podocytes of the kidney. PDPN is a specific lymphatic endothelial marker and is also known as T1alpha, a marker of lung type I alveolar cells, or Aggrus, a platelet aggregation-inducing factor. PDPN possesses three platelet aggregation-stimulating (PLAG) domains and PLAG-like domains (PLDs), which bind to C-type lectin-like receptor-2. Previously, we developed a novel anti-whale PDPN (wPDPN) monoclonal antibody (mAb) PMab-237 using the Cell-Based Immunization and Screening (CBIS) method and the RIEDL tag of Arg-Ile-Glu-Asp-Leu sequence. PMab-237 detected wPDPN by flow cytometry, western blot, and immunohistochemical analyses. However, the specific binding epitope of PMab-237 for wPDPN remains unknown. In this study, deletion mutants and point mutants of wPDPN with N-terminal RIEDL tag were produced to analyze the PMab-237 epitope using flow cytometry. The analysis of deletion mutants showed that the N-terminus of the PMab-237 epitope exists between the 80th amino acid (AA) and the 85th AA of wPDPN. In addition, the analysis of point mutants demonstrated that the critical epitope of PMab-237 includes Leu82 and Thr84 of wPDPN, indicating that the PMab-237 epitope is located in the PLD of wPDPN.

Abstract
For the second time in the past 3 years, the EU-US CTAD Task Force addressed challenges related to designing clinical trials for agitation in dementia, which is one of the most disruptive aspects of the condition for both patients and caregivers. Six recommendations emerged from the Task Force meeting: 1 - Operationalizing agitation criteria established by the IPA; 2 - Combining clinician- and caregiver-derived outcomes as primary outcome measures; 3 - Using global ratings to define clinically meaningful effects and power studies; 4 - Improving the accuracy of caregiver reports by better training and education of caregivers; 5 - Employing emerging technologies to collect near real-time behavioral data; and 6 - Utilizing innovative trial designs and increasing the use of biomarkers to maximize the productivity of clinical trials for neuropsychiatric symptoms.
