Abstract
Mycobacteria enter host phagocytes, such as macrophages by binding to several receptors on phagocytes. Several mycobacterial species, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis have evolved systems to evade host bactericidal pathways. Lipoarabinomannan (LAM) is an essential mycobacterial molecule for both binding to phagocytes and escaping from bactericidal pathways. Integrin CD11b plays critical roles as a phagocytic receptor and contributes to host defense by mediating both nonopsonic and opsonic phagocytosis. However, the mechanisms by which CD11b-mediated phagocytosis associates with LAM and drives the phagocytic process of mycobacteria remain to be fully elucidated. We recently identified TMDU3 as anti-LAM IgM antibody against the mannan core of LAM. The present study investigated the roles of CD11b and TMDU3 in macrophage phagocytosis of mycobacteria and subsequent bactericidal lysosomal fusion to phagosomes. CD11b knockout cells generated by a CRISPR/Cas9 system showed significant attenuation of the ability to phagocytose non-opsonized mycobacteria and LAM-conjugated beads. Moreover, recombinant human CD11b protein was found to bind to LAM. TMDU3 markedly inhibited macrophage phagocytosis of non-opsonized mycobacteria. This antibody slightly increased the phagocytosis of mycobacteria under opsonized conditions, whereas it significantly enhanced CD11b-mediated bactericidal functions. Taken together, these results show a novel phylactic role of anti-LAM IgM during mycobacterial infection in macrophages.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate [PtdIns(4)P] is a precursor for various phosphoinositides but also a membrane-embedded component crucial for membrane contact sites (MCSs). Several lipid transfer proteins are recruited to MCSs by recognizing PtdIns(4)P; however, it remains poorly elucidated how the production of PtdIns(4)P for lipid transport at MCSs is regulated. Following human genome-wide screening, we discovered that the PtdIns(4)P-related genes PI4KB, ACBD3, and C10orf76 are involved in endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi trafficking of ceramide by the ceramide transport protein CERT. CERT preferentially utilizes PtdIns(4)P generated by PI4KB recruited to the Golgi by C10orf76 rather than by ACBD3. Super-resolution microscopy observation revealed that C10orf76 predominantly localizes at distal Golgi regions, where sphingomyelin (SM) synthesis primarily occurs, while the majority of ACBD3 localizes at more proximal regions. This study provides a proof-of-concept that distinct pools of PtdIns(4)P are generated in different subregions, even within the same organelle, to facilitate interorganelle metabolic channeling for the ceramide-to-SM conversion.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infects epithelial basal cells in the mucosa and either proliferates with the differentiation of the basal cells or persists in them. Multiple host factors are required to support the HPV life cycle; however, the molecular mechanisms involved in cell entry are not yet fully understood. In this study, we performed a genome-wide clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) knockout (KO) screen in HeLa cells and identified folliculin (FLCN), a GTPase-activating protein for Rag GTPases, as an important host factor for HPV infection. The introduction of single guide RNAs for the FLCN gene into HeLa, HaCaT, and ectocervical Ect1 cells reduced infection by HPV18 pseudovirions (18PsVs) and 16PsVs. FLCN KO HeLa cells also exhibited strong resistance to infection with 18PsVs and 16PsVs; nevertheless, they remained highly susceptible to infections with vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein-pseudotyped lentivirus and adeno-associated virus. Immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that the numbers of virions binding to the cell surface were slightly increased in FLCN KO cells. However, virion internalization analysis showed that the internalized virions were rapidly degraded in FLCN KO cells. This degradation was blocked by treatment with the lysosome inhibitor bafilomycin A1. Furthermore, the virion degradation phenotype was also observed in Ras-related GTP-binding protein C (RagC) KO cells. These results suggest that FLCN prevents the lysosomal degradation of incoming HPV virions by enhancing lysosomal RagC activity. IMPORTANCE Cell entry by human papillomavirus (HPV) involves a cellular retrograde transport pathway from the endosome to the trans-Golgi network/Golgi apparatus. However, the mechanism by which this viral trafficking is safeguarded is poorly understood. This is the first study showing that the GTPase-activating protein folliculin (FLCN) protects incoming HPV virions from lysosomal degradation and supports infectious cell entry by activating the Rag GTPases, presumably through the suppression of excessive lysosomal biosynthesis. These findings provide new insights into the effects of small GTPase activity regulation on HPV cell entry and enhance our understanding of the HPV degradation pathway.

Abstract
Neural differentiation, synaptic transmission, and action potential propagation depend on membrane sphingolipids, whose metabolism is tightly regulated. Mutations in the ceramide transporter CERT (CERT1), which is involved in sphingolipid biosynthesis, are associated with intellectual disability, but the pathogenic mechanism remains obscure. Here, we characterize 31 individuals with de novo missense variants in CERT1. Several variants fall into a previously uncharacterized dimeric helical domain that enables CERT homeostatic inactivation, without which sphingolipid production goes unchecked. The clinical severity reflects the degree to which CERT autoregulation is disrupted, and inhibiting CERT pharmacologically corrects morphological and motor abnormalities in a Drosophila model of the disease, which we call ceramide transporter (CerTra) syndrome. These findings uncover a central role for CERT autoregulation in the control of sphingolipid biosynthetic flux, provide unexpected insight into the structural organization of CERT, and suggest a possible therapeutic approach for patients with CerTra syndrome.

Abstract
Sphingolipids are ubiquitously expressed in eukaryotes and play various functional roles. The key characteristic of sphingolipids is their diversity of molecular species. Sphingomyelin (SM) and glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are the major components of sphingolipids in the plasma membrane, which are composed of ceramide and a polar head-group. SM is the most abundant sphingolipid species in mammalian cells, while GSLs have a wide variety of glycans as head groups. Various fatty acids in ceramide also contribute to the diversity of sphingolipid species. To analyze the cellular function of each sphingolipid species, precise gene manipulation is essential. Recent developments in genome editing technologies have facilitated complete gene disruption in cultured cells. This chapter describes protocols for the construction of various sphingolipid-related gene knockout HeLa cells using the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 system and for confirmation of changes in their lipid composition using radioisotopes and thin layer chromatography. This sphingolipid-remodeled cell panel is a useful tool for analyzing the cellular functions of sphingolipid species and as a reference for lipid analysis.

Abstract
Mumps virus (MuV) is the etiological agent of mumps, a disease characterized by painful swelling of the parotid glands and often accompanied by severe complications. To understand the molecular mechanism of MuV infection, a functional analysis of the involved host factors is required. However, little is known about the host factors involved in MuV infection, especially those involved in the late stage of infection. Here, we identified 638 host proteins that have close proximity to MuV glycoproteins, which are a major component of the viral particles, by proximity labeling and examined comprehensive protein-protein interaction networks of the host proteins. From siRNA screening and immunoprecipitation results, we found that a SNARE subfamily protein, USE1, bound specifically to the MuV fusion (F) protein and was important for MuV propagation. In addition, USE1 plays a role in complete N-linked glycosylation and expression of the MuV F protein.

Abstract
Ceramide transport protein (CERT) mediates ceramide transfer from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi for sphingomyelin (SM) biosynthesis. CERT is inactivated by multiple phosphorylation at the serine-repeat motif (SRM), and mutations that impair the SRM phosphorylation are associated with a group of inherited intellectual disorders in humans. It has been suggested that the N-terminal phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate [PtdIns(4)P] binding domain and the C-terminal ceramide-transfer domain of CERT physically interfere with each other in the SRM phosphorylated state, thereby repressing the function of CERT; however, it remains unclear which regions in CERT are involved in the SRM phosphorylation-dependent repression of CERT. Here, we identified a previously uncharacterized cluster of lysine/arginine residues that were predicted to be located on the outer surface of a probable coiled-coil fold in CERT. Substitutions of the basic amino acids in the cluster with alanine released the SRM-dependent repression of CERT activities, i.e., the synthesis of SM, PtdIns(4)P-binding, vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein (VAP) binding, ceramide-transfer activity, and localization to the Golgi, although the effect on SM synthesis activity was only partially compromised by the alanine substitutions, which moderately destabilized the trimeric status of CERT. These results suggest that the basic amino acid cluster in the coiled-coil region is involved in the regulation of CERT function.

Abstract
Casein kinase 1 γ (CK1G) is involved in the regulation of various cellular functions. For instance, the ceramide transport protein (CERT), which delivers ceramide to the Golgi apparatus for the synthesis of sphingomyelin (SM), is inactivated when it receives multiple phosphorylation by CK1G. Using human genome-wide gene disruption screening with an SM-binding cytolysin, we found that loss of the C-terminal region of CK1G3 rendered the kinase hyperactive in cells. Deletion of the C-terminal 20 amino acids or mutation of cysteine residues expected to be palmitoylated sites redistributed CK1G3 from cytoplasmic punctate compartments to the nucleocytoplasm. Wild-type CK1G3 exhibited a similar redistribution in the presence of 2-bromopalmitate, a protein palmitoylation inhibitor. Expression of C-terminal mutated CK1G1/2/3 similarly induced the multiple phosphorylation of the CERT SRM, thereby down-regulating de novo SM synthesis. These findings revealed that CK1Gs are regulated by a compartmentalization-based mechanism to access substrates present in specific intracellular organelles. C-terminal region of CSNK1Gs restricts their localization to punctate compartments Loss of the kinase compartmentalization causes hyperphosphorylation of CERT Compartmentalization of CSNK1G controls ceramide transport and de novo SM synthesis

Abstract
The Vero cell line is an immortalized cell line established from kidney epithelial cells of the African green monkey. A variety of Vero sublines have been developed and can be classified into four major cell lineages. In this study, we determined the whole-genome sequence of Vero E6 (VERO C1008), which is one of the most widely used cell lines for the proliferation and isolation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronaviruses (SARS-CoVs), and performed comparative analysis among Vero JCRB0111, Vero CCL-81, Vero 76, and Vero E6. Analysis of the copy number changes and loss of heterozygosity revealed that these four sublines share a large deletion and loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 12, which harbors type I interferon and CDKN2 gene clusters. We identified a substantial number of genetic differences among the sublines including single nucleotide variants, indels, and copy number variations. The spectrum of single nucleotide variants indicated a close genetic relationship between Vero JCRB0111 and Vero CCL-81, and between Vero 76 and Vero E6, and a considerable genetic gap between the former two and the latter two lines. In contrast, we confirmed the pattern of genomic integration sites of simian endogenous retroviral sequences, which was consistent among the sublines. We identified subline-specific/enriched loss of function and missense variants, which potentially contribute to the differences in response to viral infection among the Vero sublines. In particular, we identified four genes (IL1RAP, TRIM25, RB1CC1, and ATG2A) that contained missense variants specific or enriched in Vero E6. In addition, we found that V739I variants of ACE2, which functions as the receptor for SARS-CoVs, were heterozygous in Vero JCRB0111, Vero CCL-81, and Vero 76; however, Vero E6 harbored only the allele with isoleucine, resulting from the loss of one of the X chromosomes.

Abstract
The ceramide transport protein (CERT) delivers ceramide from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus, where ceramide is converted to sphingomyelin (SM). The function of CERT is regulated in two distinct phosphorylation-dependent events: multiple phosphorylations in a serine-repeat motif (SRM) and phosphorylation of serine 315 residue (S315). Pharmacological inhibition of SM biosynthesis results in an increase in SRM-dephosphorylated CERT, which serves as an activated form, and an enhanced phosphorylation of S315, which augments the binding of CERT to ER-resident VAMP-associated protein (VAP), inducing the full activation of CERT to operate at the ER–Golgi membrane contact sites (MCSs). However, it remains unclear whether the two phosphorylation-dependent regulatory events always occur coordinately. Here, we describe that hyperosmotic stress induces S315 phosphorylation without affecting the SRM-phosphorylation state. Under hyperosmotic conditions, the binding of CERT with VAP-A is enhanced in an S315 phosphorylation-dependent manner, and this increased binding occurs throughout the ER rather than restrictedly at the ER–Golgi MCSs. Moreover, we found that de novo synthesis of SM with very-long acyl chains preferentially increases via a CERT-independent mechanism under hyperosmotic-stressed cells, providing an insight into a CERT-independent ceramide transport pathway for de novo synthesis of SM.

Abstract
Many efforts have been dedicated to the discovery of antiviral drug candidates against the mumps virus (MuV); however, no specific drug has yet been approved. The development of efficient screening methods is a key factor for the discovery of antiviral candidates. In this study, we evaluated a screening method using an Aequorea coerulescens green fluorescent protein-expressing MuV infectious molecular clone. The application of this system to screen for active compounds against MuV replication revealed that CD437, a retinoid acid receptor agonist, has anti-MuV activity. The point of antiviral action was a late step(s) in the MuV life cycle. The replication of other paramyxoviruses was also inhibited by CD437. The induction of retinoic acid-inducible gene (RIG)-I expression is a reported mechanism for the antiviral activity of retinoids, but our results indicated that CD437 did not stimulate RIG-I expression. Indeed, we observed antiviral activity despite the absence of RIG-I, suggesting that CD437 antiviral activity does not require RIG-I induction.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
From August 2015, for shortening of hospitalization period through efficient medical care in acute phase, we had introduced a unique clinical pathway (PATH) for congestive heart failure (CHF) cases. In PATH, since immediate taking of Tolvaptan, which is an strong oral diuretic and approver for use in the treatment of CHF cases since 2010 in Japan, after admission is specified, early diuresis makes it possible to achieve early rising from bed and streamline each medical care such as oxygen inhalation, continuous infusion, and urethral catheterization. Early rising from bed is particularly important for super-elder CHF patients who merge often frail. On the other hand, for super-elder CHF patients, it is feared that aggressive use of Tolvaptan may frequently cause dehydration, renal damage caused by it, or hypernatremia, which is a peculiar side effect about the drug.
Purpose
In this study, we examined the usefulness and safety of active use of Tolvaptan by introducing PATH in patients with super-elder CHF patients.
Methods
We set up three groups, NE group consist of 37 CHF cases (90 years old or over) who admitted in our hospital before (without) introduction of PATH between April 2014 and July 2015, PE group consist of 130 CHF cases (90 years old or over) and PY group consist of 466 CHF cases (under 90 years old) who ware admitted with introduction of PATH between August 2015 and July 2020. And in each group, we investigated various medical conditions in their acute phase after admission and the incidence of adverse events related to oral administration of tolvaptan, and examined the differences between three groups.
Results
Between NE group and PE group, there were no significant differences in mean age, pre-hospital living status, or clinical status at admission (Figure 1). But due to lean and efficient CHF care, the average length of hospitalization period was significantly shorter in PE group. And, in PE group, each medical care was performed as efficiently as in PY group, but the progression of renal damage or hypernatremia that required unscheduled discontinuation of tolvaptan use occurred more frequently in PE group (Figure 2).
Conclusions
Aggressive Tolvaptan use through our unique clinical pathway for congestive heart failure cases seemed to be useful even in super-elder patients. Although we thought that the safety of active use of tolvaptan for super-elder patients was well tolerated considering the results of this study, the incidence of adverse events such as hypernatremia was clearly higher in super-elder patients than in non-super-elder patients. It seemed that we should pay close attention to the clinical data of super-elder patients after introduction of tolvaptan.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
From August 2015, for efficient medical care in congestive heart failure (CHF) cases, we had introduced a unique clinical pathway (PATH) provided the immediate use of Tolvaptan and comprehensive education by multi-disciplinary staff after admission. And by introduction of PATH, we confirmed the shortening effect of hospitalization period with CHF and the suppressive effect of readmission with CHF after discharge. But since almost CHF patients repeat hospitalization and discharge due to change of their medical condition, the investigation for only first readmission rate after discharge is not enough to assess the entire long clinical course of CHF. Recently we found one report about evaluation method for CHF clinical prognosis, how long CHF patients can stay healthy at their own home after discharge within a certain period. This evaluation method is considered to take into account the long clinical course of CHF.
Purpose
We investigated whether the CHF patients introduced PATH on admission could stay longer at their home than CHF patients without PATH.
Methods
Between April 2014 and July 2019, 471 CHF cases, who ware admitted in our hospital at first and could be followed up for at least 1 month after discharge, ware enrolled. We divided them to two groups, PATH- group before introducing PATH (until July 2015, 142 cases), and PATH+ group applied PATH (after August 2015, 329 cases). Between both groups, we investigated the readmission rate (RR) with CHF and the total period (TP) that patients could spend at home within1, 3, 6 and 12month after discharge.
Results
There were no significant differences in mean age, pre-hospital living status, or clinical status at admission between the two groups. On the other hand, due to efficient CHF care, the average length of hospital stay was significantly shorter (figure1). RR within 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after discharge ware all lower in PATH+ group. And TP within 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after discharge ware all longer in PATH+ group (figure2).
Conclusion
By introducing our unique clinical pathway for congestive heart failure cases requiring hospitalization, we could confirm not only the improvement of their conventional clinical prognosis index but also the improvement of their new and more realistic clinical prognosis index after discharge.

Abstract
Shiga toxin (STx) or Vero toxin is a virulence factor produced by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli. The toxin binds to the glycosphingolipid globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) for its entry, and causes cell death by inhibiting ribosome function. Previously, we performed a loss-of-function screen in HeLa cells using a human CRISPR knockout (KO) library and identified various host genes required for STx-induced cell death. To determine whether this library targeted to the human genome is applicable to non-human primate cells and to identify previously unrecognized factors crucial for STx-induced cell death, we herein performed a similar screen in the African green monkey kidney-derived Vero C1008 subline. Many genes relevant to metabolic enzymes and membrane trafficking were enriched, although the number of enriched genes was less than that obtained in the screening for HeLa cells. Of note, several genes that had not been enriched in the previous screening were enriched: one of these genes was SYS1, which encodes a multi-spanning membrane protein in the Golgi apparatus. In SYS1 KO Vero cells, expression of Gb3 and sphingomyelin was decreased, while that of glucosylceramide and lactosylceramide was increased. In addition, loss of SYS1 inhibited the biosynthesis of protein glycans, deformed the Golgi apparatus, and perturbed the localization of trans-Golgi network protein (TGN) 46. These results indicate that the human CRISPR KO library is applicable to Vero cell lines, and SYS1 has a widespread effect on glycan biosynthesis via regulation of intra-Golgi and endosome–TGN retrograde transports.

Abstract
Polio or poliomyelitis is a disabling and life-threatening disease caused by poliovirus (PV). As a consequence of global polio vaccination efforts, wild PV serotypes 2 and 3 have been eradicated around the world, and wild PV serotype 1-transmitted cases have been largely eliminated except for limited regions. However, vaccine-derived PV, pathogenically reverted live PV vaccine strains, has become a serious issue. For the global eradication of polio, the World Health Organization is conducting the third edition of the Global Action Plan, which is requesting stringent control of potentially PV-infected materials. To facilitate the mission, we generated a PV-nonsusceptible Vero cell subline, which may serve as an ideal replacement of standard Vero cells to isolate emerging/re-emerging viruses without the risk of generating PV-infected materials.

Abstract
Glycosphingolipids are important components of the plasma membrane where they modulate the activities of membrane proteins including signalling receptors. Glycosphingolipid synthesis relies on competing reactions catalysed by Golgi-resident enzymes during the passage of substrates through the Golgi cisternae. The glycosphingolipid metabolic output is determined by the position and levels of the enzymes within the Golgi stack, but the mechanisms that coordinate the intra-Golgi localisation of the enzymes are poorly understood. Here, we show that a group of sequentially-acting enzymes operating at the branchpoint among glycosphingolipid synthetic pathways binds the Golgi-localised oncoprotein GOLPH3. GOLPH3 sorts these enzymes into vesicles for intra-Golgi retro-transport, acting as a component of the cisternal maturation mechanism. Through these effects, GOLPH3 controls the sub-Golgi localisation and the lysosomal degradation rate of specific enzymes. Increased GOLPH3 levels, as those observed in tumours, alter glycosphingolipid synthesis and plasma membrane composition thereby promoting mitogenic signalling and cell proliferation. These data have medical implications as they outline a novel oncogenic mechanism of action for GOLPH3 based on glycosphingolipid metabolism.

Abstract
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) contains glycosphingolipids, including lactosylceramide (LacCer, Galβ(1,4)Glcβ-ceramide). LacCer and its structural isomer, galabiosylceramide (Gb2, Galα(1,4)Galβ-ceramide), are classified as ceramide dihexosides (CDH). Gb2 is degraded by α-galactosidase A (GLA) in lysosomes, and genetic GLA deficiency causes Fabry disease, an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder. In patients with Fabry disease, Gb2 accumulates in organs throughout the body. While Gb2 has been reported to be in the liver, kidney, and urine of healthy individuals, its presence in CSF has not been reported, either in patients with Fabry disease or healthy controls. Here, we isolated CDH fractions from CSF of patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus. Purified CDH fractions showed positive reaction with Shiga toxin, which specifically binds to the Galα(1,4)Galβ structure. The isolated CDH fractions were analyzed by hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC)-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). HILIC-ESI-MS/MS separated LacCer and Gb2 and revealed the presence of Gb2 and LacCer in the fractions. We also found Gb2 in CSF from neurologically normal control subjects. This is the first report to show Gb2 exists in human CSF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In recent years, the number of elderly congestive heart failure (CHF) cases has been increasing in Japan with the aging of the population. This tendency is particularly remarkable in rural areas where our facilities are located. After admission with CHF, the hospitalization period (PE) was prolonged due to various complications unique to the elderly, and re-exacerbation of CHF occurred shortly after discharge. Approximately 30% of them were readmitted within one year. From August 2015, for shortening of PE and reduction of CHF readmission through the efficiency of CHF treatment and comprehensive patient education, we had introduced a unique clinical pathway (PATH) that provided the immediate use of Tolvaptan and comprehensive education by multi-disciplinary staff after admission.
Purpose
In this study, we verified whether the improvement of clinical prognosis were achieved by introduction of PATH.
Methods
Between April 2014 and July 2019, 635 CHF cases (764 admissions) ware enrolled. We divided them to two groups, N-group before introducing PATH (198 cases, 262 admissions) and P-group applied PATH (437 cases, 502 admission). Between both groups, we compared the various acute care situation, PE and readmission rate with CHF within 1 year after discharge.
Results
There were no differences between P and N-group in mean age, distribution of underlying illness or daily activity level before admission. There ware not also differences about left ventricle function by echocardiography and various blood test data at admission. The enforcement rate of continuous infusion and the rate of urinary catheter placement were significantly lower in the P-group (71 vs 88%; p<0.0001, 52 vs 63%; p<0.01, respectively). And their enforcement duration was significantly shorter in P-group (4.6±5.3 vs 10.5±9.6 days; p<0.0001, 6.3±7.9 vs 12.8±13.1 days; p<0.0001 respectively). The enforcement rate of cardiac rehabilitation was significantly higher in group P (94 vs 84%; p<0.0001), and the starting time of rehabilitation was significantly earlier (2.9±1.5 vs 6.3±4.8th illness day; p<0.0001). As a result, the average HP was significantly shorter in group P (16.5±13.4 vs 28.6±24.1 days, p<0.0001). The readmission rate with CHF within one year after discharge was significantly lower in group P (23 vs 36%; p<0.001).
Conclusion
By the introduction of our original clinical pathway for congestive heart failure, the efficiency of medical care was achieved and the mean hospitalization period was widely shortened. In addition, by the through comprehensive patient education by multi-disciplinary staff involved in the pathway, the self-restraint life style after discharge seemed to be maintained and the readmission with worsening of heart failure was significantly suppressed.

Abstract
Individual interactions between glycans and their receptors are usually weak, although these weak interactions can combine to realize a strong interaction (multivalency). Such multivalency plays a crucial role in the recognition of host cells by pathogens. Glycodendrimers are useful materials for the reconstruction of this multivalent interaction. However, the introduction of a large number of glycans to a dendrimer core is fraught with difficulties. We herein synthesized antipathogenic glycodendrimers using the self-activating click chemistry (SACC) method developed by our group. The excellent reactivity of SACC enabled the efficient preparation of sialyl glycan and Gb3 glycan dendrimers, which exhibited strong avidity toward hemagglutinin on influenza virus and Shiga toxin B subunit produced by Escherichia coli, respectively. We demonstrated the usefulness of SACC-based glycodendrimers as antipathogenic compounds.

Abstract
The human hepatoma-derived HuH-7 cell line and its derivatives (Huh7.5 and Huh7.5.1) have been widely used as a convenient experimental substitute for primary hepatocytes. In particular, these cell lines represent host cells suitable for propagating the hepatitis C virus (HCV) in vitro. The Huh7.5.1-8 cell line, a subline of Huh7.5.1, can propagate HCV more efficiently than its parental cells. To provide genomic information for cells' quality control, we performed whole-genome sequencing of HuH-7 and Huh7.5.1-8 and identified their characteristic genomic deletions, some of which are applicable to an in-house test for cell authentication. Among the genes related to HCV infection and replication, 53 genes were found to carry missense or loss-of-function mutations likely specific to the HuH-7 and/or Huh7.5.1-8. Eight genes, including DDX58 (RIG-I), BAX, EP300, and SPP1 (osteopontin), contained mutations observed only in Huh7.5.1-8 or mutations with higher frequency in Huh7.5.1-8. These mutations might be relevant to phenotypic differences between the two cell lines and may also serve as genetic markers to distinguish Huh7.5.1-8 cells from the ancestral HuH-7 cells.

Abstract
Shiga toxin (STx) is a virulence factor produced by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli. STx is taken up by mammalian host cells by binding to the glycosphingolipid (GSL) globotriaosylceramide (Gb3; Galα1-4Galβ1-4Glc-ceramide) and causes cell death after its retrograde membrane transport. However, the contribution of the hydrophobic portion of Gb3 (ceramide) to STx transport remains unclear. In pigeons, blood group P1 glycan antigens (Galα1-4Galβ1-4GlcNAc-) are expressed on glycoproteins that are synthesized by α1,4-galactosyltransferase 2 (pA4GalT2). To examine whether these glycoproteins can also function as STx receptors, here we constructed glycan-remodeled HeLa cell variants lacking Gb3 expression but instead expressing pA4GalT2-synthesized P1 glycan antigens on glycoproteins. We compared STx binding and sensitivity of these variants with those of the parental, Gb3-expressing HeLa cells. The glycan-remodeled cells bound STx1 via N-glycans of glycoproteins and were sensitive to STx1 even without Gb3 expression, indicating that P1-containing glycoproteins also function as STx receptors. However, these variants were significantly less sensitive to STx than the parent cells. Fluorescence microscopy and correlative light EM revealed that the STx1 B subunit accumulates to lower levels in the Golgi apparatus after glycoprotein-mediated than after Gb3-mediated uptake but instead accumulates in vacuole-like structures probably derived from early endosomes. Furthermore, coexpression of Galα1-4Gal on both glycoproteins and GSLs reduced the sensitivity of cells to STx1 compared with those expressing Galα1-4Gal only on GSLs, probably because of competition for STx binding or internalization. We conclude that lipid-based receptors are much more effective in STx retrograde transport and mediate greater STx cytotoxicity than protein-based receptors.

Abstract
The Flaviviridae is a family of enveloped viruses with a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome. It contains many viruses that threaten human health, such as Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) and yellow fever virus (YFV) of the genus Flavivirus as well as hepatitis C virus of the genus Hepacivirus. Cell culture systems highly permissive for the Flaviviridae viruses are very useful for their isolation, propagation, and diagnosis, an understanding of their biology, and the development of vaccines and antiviral agents. Previously, we isolated a human hepatoma HuH-7-derived cell clone, Huh7.5.1-8, which is highly permissive to hepatitis C virus infection. Here, we have characterized flavivirus infection in the Huh7.5.1-8 cell line by comparing with that in the African green monkey kidney-derived Vero cell line, which is permissive for a wide spectrum of viruses. Upon infection with JEV, Huh7.5.1-8 cells produced a higher amount of virus particles early in infection and were more susceptible to virus-induced cell death than Vero cells. Similar outcomes were obtained when the cells were infected with another flavivirus, YFV (17D-204 strain). Quantification of cellular and extracellular viral RNA revealed that high JEV production in Huh7.5.1-8 cells can be attributed to rapid viral replication kinetics and efficient virus release early in infection. In a plaque assay, Huh7.5.1-8 cells developed JEV plaques more rapidly than Vero cells. Although this was not the case with YFV plaques, Huh7.5.1-8 cells developed higher numbers of YFV plaques than Vero cells. Sequence analysis of cDNA encoding an antiviral RNA helicase, RIG-I, showed that Huh7.5.1-8 cells expressed not only a full-length RIG-I mRNA with a known dominant-negative missense mutation but also variants without the mutation. However, the latter mRNAs lacked exon 5/6-12, indicating functional loss of RIG-I in the cells. These characteristics of the Huh7.5.1-8 cell line are helpful for flavivirus detection, titration, and propagation.

Abstract
The obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis proliferates in the membranous compartment inclusion formed in host cells. The host ceramide transport protein CERT delivers ceramide from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex for the synthesis of sphingomyelin (SM). Chlamydia trachomatis has been suggested to employ CERT to produce SM in the inclusion by host SM synthases (SMSs). Here, we found that C. trachomatis proliferates and produces infective progeny even in SMS1 and SMS2 double-knockout HeLa cells, but not in the SMS1/SMS2/CERT triple-knockout cells. Interestingly, infected cells convert ceramide to SM without host SMSs. These results suggest that C. trachomatis-infected cells can convert ceramide to SM without host SMSs after CERT-mediated transfer of ceramide to the inclusions.

Abstract
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are produced by various GSL-synthesizing enzymes, but post-translational regulation of these enzymes is incompletely understood. To address this knowledge disparity, we focused on biosynthesis of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), the Shiga toxin (STx) receptor, and performed a genome-wide CRISPR/CAS9 knockout screen in HeLa cells using STx1-mediated cytotoxicity. We identified various genes including sphingolipid-related genes and membrane-trafficking genes. In addition, we found two proteins, LAPTM4A and TM9SF2, for which physiological roles remain elusive. Disruption of either LAPTM4A or TM9SF2 genes reduced Gb3 biosynthesis, resulting in accumulation of its precursor, lactosylceramide. Loss of LAPTM4A decreased endogenous Gb3 synthase activity in a post-transcriptional mechanism, whereas loss of TM9SF2 did not affect Gb3 synthase activity but instead disrupted localization of Gb3 synthase. Furthermore, the Gb3-regulating activity of TM9SF2 was conserved in the TM9SF family. These results provide mechanistic insight into the post-translational regulation of the activity and localization of Gb3 synthase. Genome-wide CRISPR knockout screening using Shiga toxin-induced cell death Both LAPTM4A and TM9SF2 are required for Gb3 biosynthesis Loss of LAPTM4A reduces Gb3 synthase activity post-transcriptionally TM9SF2 regulates the subcellular localization of Gb3 synthase

Abstract
AIMS To assess the predictive ability of a genetic risk score for the incidence of Type 2 diabetes in a general Japanese population. METHODS This prospective case-control study, nested within a Japan Public Health Centre-based prospective study, included 466 participants with incident Type 2 diabetes over a 5-year period (cases) and 1361 control participants, as well as 1463 participants with existing diabetes and 1463 control participants. Eleven susceptibility single nucleotide polymorphisms, identified through genome-wide association studies and replicated in Japanese populations, were analysed. RESULTS Most single nucleotide polymorphism loci showed directionally consistent associations with diabetes. From the combined samples, one single nucleotide polymorphism (rs2206734 at CDKAL1) reached a genome-wide significance level (odds ratio 1.28, 95% CI 1.18-1.40; P = 1.8 × 10-8 ). Three single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs2206734 in CDKAL1, rs2383208 in CDKN2A/B, and rs2237892 in KCNQ1) were nominally significantly associated with incident diabetes. Compared with the lowest quintile of the total number of risk alleles, the highest quintile had a higher odds of incident diabetes (odds ratio 2.34, 95% CI 1.59-3.46) after adjusting for conventional risk factors such as age, sex and BMI. The addition to the conventional risk factor-based model of a genetic risk score using the 11 single nucleotide polymorphisms significantly improved predictive performance; the c-statistic increased by 0.021, net reclassification improved by 6.2%, and integrated discrimination improved by 0.003. CONCLUSIONS Our prospective findings suggest that the addition of a genetic risk score may provide modest but significant incremental predictive performance beyond that of the conventional risk factor-based model without biochemical markers.

Abstract
Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common causative agent of community-acquired pneumonia and can penetrate epithelial barriers to enter the bloodstream and brain. We investigated intracellular fates of S. pneumoniae and found that the pathogen is entrapped by selective autophagy in pneumolysin- and ubiquitin-p62-LC3 cargo-dependent manners. Importantly, following induction of autophagy, Rab41 was relocated from the Golgi apparatus to S. pneumoniae-containing autophagic vesicles (PcAV), which were only formed in the presence of Rab41-positive intact Golgi apparatuses. Moreover, subsequent localization and regulation of K48- and K63-linked polyubiquitin chains in and on PcAV were clearly distinguishable from each other. Finally, we found that E3 ligase Nedd4-1 was recruited to PcAV and played a pivotal role in K63-linked polyubiquitin chain (K63Ub) generation on PcAV, promotion of PcAV formation, and elimination of intracellular S. pneumoniae. These findings suggest that Nedd4-1-mediated K63Ub deposition on PcAV acts as a scaffold for PcAV biogenesis and efficient elimination of host cell-invaded pneumococci.

Abstract
Nanotubes (NTs) are thin, long membranous structures forming novel, yet poorly known communication pathways between various cell types. Key mechanisms controlling their growth still remained poorly understood. Since NT-forming capacity of immature and mature B cells was found largely different, we investigated how lipid composition and molecular order of the membrane affect NT-formation. Screening B cell lines with various differentiation stages revealed that NT-growth linearly correlates with membrane ganglioside levels, while it shows maximum as a function of cholesterol level. NT-growth of B lymphocytes is promoted by raftophilic phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin species, various glycosphingolipids, and docosahexaenoic acid-containing inner leaflet lipids, through supporting membrane curvature, as demonstrated by comparative lipidomic analysis of mature versus immature B cell membranes. Targeted modification of membrane cholesterol and sphingolipid levels altered NT-forming capacity confirming these findings, and also highlighted that the actual lipid raft number may control NT-growth via defining the number of membrane-F-actin coupling sites. Atomic force microscopic mechano-manipulation experiments further proved that mechanical properties (elasticity or bending stiffness) of B cell NTs also depend on the actual membrane lipid composition. Data presented here highlight importance of the lipid side in controlling intercellular, nanotubular, regulatory communications in the immune system.

Abstract
Background Available evidence from animal studies suggests that branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) may have a protective effect against colorectal carcinogenesis. However, a possible effect of BCAAs against colorectal neoplasia has not been evaluated in humans. Here, we aimed to evaluate whether plasma concentrations of BCAA are associated with the risk of colorectal adenoma (CRA), a precursor lesion of colorectal cancer. Patients and methods CRA cases and controls were identified from examinees who underwent total colonoscopy as part of a cancer screening program between 2004 and 2005 and responded to self-administered dietary and lifestyle questionnaires. We measured plasma concentrations of leucine, isoleucine and valine in 629 patients with adenoma and 584 controls. Unconditional logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the association between BCAA and CRA risk after adjustment for potential confounders. Results High plasma concentrations of leucine, valine and total BCAA were inversely associated with CRA risk after adjustment of potential confounders. The multivariate-adjusted ORs for the highest versus lowest quartiles were 0.60 (95% CI 0.42-0.87, Ptrend = 0.006) for leucine, 0.68 (95% CI 0.48-0.97, Ptrend = 0.09) for valine and 0.68 (95% CI 0.48-0.98, Ptrend = 0.10) for total BCAA. Further analysis by gender revealed that this inverse association was clearly evident in men, but not in women: the corresponding OR for leucine, valine and total BCAA was 0.50 (95% CI 0.32-0.80, Ptrend = 0.003), 0.60 (95% CI 0.38-0.95, Ptrend = 0.01) and 0.58 (95% CI 0.37-0.93, Ptrend = 0.04), respectively, in men and 0.78 (95% CI 0.42-1.45, Ptrend = 0.44), 0.77 (95% CI 0.41-1.43, Ptrend = 0.85) and 0.84 (95% CI 0.45-1.57, Ptrend = 0.81), respectively, in women. Conclusion Our finding suggests that BCAAs may have a beneficial influence against the process of colorectal carcinogenesis, at least in the early stage. The mechanisms underlying this potential association between BCAA and colorectal carcinogenesis warrant further investigation.

Abstract
Ceramide is a common precursor of sphingomyelin (SM) and glycosphingolipids (GSLs) in mammalian cells. Ceramide synthase 2 (CERS2), one of the six ceramide synthase isoforms, is responsible for the synthesis of very long chain fatty acid (C20–26 fatty acids) (VLC)-containing ceramides (VLC-Cer). It is known that the proportion of VLC species in GSLs is higher than that in SM. To address the mechanism of the VLC-preference of GSLs, we used genome editing to establish three HeLa cell mutants that expressed different amounts of CERS2 and compared the acyl chain lengths of SM and GSLs by metabolic labeling experiments. VLC-sphingolipid expression was increased along with that of CERS2, and the proportion of VLC species in glucosylceramide (GlcCer) was higher than that in SM for all expression levels of CERS2. This higher proportion was still maintained even when the proportion of C16-Cer to the total ceramides was increased by disrupting the ceramide transport protein (CERT)-dependent C16-Cer delivery pathway for SM synthesis. On the other hand, merging the Golgi apparatus and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by Brefeldin A decreased the proportion of VLC species in GlcCer probably due to higher accessibility of UDP-glucose ceramide glucosyltransferase (UGCG) to C16-rich ceramides. These results suggest the existence of a yet-to-be-identified mechanism rendering VLC-Cer more accessible than C16-Cer to UGCG, which is independent of CERT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Although vitamin D has been experimentally reported to inhibit tumorigenesis, cell growth and prostate cancer invasion, epidemiologic data regarding prostate cancer risk are inconsistent, and some studies have suggested positive but nonsignificant associations. Further, the impact of vitamin D on prostate cancer between Western and Japanese populations may differ due to different plasma vitamin D levels. SUBJECTS/METHODS We performed a nested case-control study within the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective (JPHC) Study in 14,203 men (40-69 years) who answered a self-administered questionnaire at baseline (1990-1994) and gave blood samples, and were followed until 2005. We identified 201 prostate cancers which are newly diagnosed during follow-up (mean 12.8 years). We selected two matched controls for each case from the cohort. We used a conditional logistic regression model to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for prostate cancer with respect to levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D) in plasma. RESULTS We did not observe statistically significant association between 25(OH)D level and total prostate cancer (multivariate OR=1.13 (95%CI=0.66-1.94, Ptrend=0.94) for the highest versus lowest tertile) However, 25(OH) levels were slightly positively associated with advanced cancer. The results remained substantially unchanged after stratification by intake of fish or calcium intake. CONCLUSIONS 25(OH)D level showed no association with overall prostate cancer among Japanese men in this large cohort.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Compared with western populations, the consumption of soy foods among Japanese is very high and the incidence of endometrial cancer very low. We evaluated the association of soy food and isoflavone intake with endometrial cancer risk in Japanese women. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Ten public health centre areas in Japan. POPULATION Forty nine thousand one hundred and twenty-one women of age 45-74 years who responded to a 5-year follow-up survey questionnaire. METHODS Intakes of soy foods as well as other covariates were assessed in 1995-1998 by a self-administered food frequency questionnaire. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Incidence of endometrial cancer. RESULTS During an average of 12.1 years of follow up, 112 newly diagnosed endometrial cancer cases were identified. Energy-adjusted intakes of soy food and isoflavone were not associated with the risk of endometrial cancer. The multivariate-adjusted HR per 25 g/day increase in the intake of soy food was 1.02 (95% CI 0.94-1.10), and the corresponding value for isoflavone intake per 15 mg/day was 1.01 (95% CI 0.84-1.22). CONCLUSION In this population-based prospective cohort study of Japanese women, we observed no evidence of a protective association between soy food or isoflavone intake and endometrial cancer risk.

Abstract
In recent decades, many sphingolipid enzymes, sphingolipid-metabolism regulators and sphingolipid transfer proteins have been isolated and characterized. This review will provide an overview of the intracellular localization and topology of sphingolipid enzymes in mammalian cells to highlight the locations where respective sphingolipid species are produced. Interestingly, three sphingolipids that reside or are synthesized in cytosolic leaflets of membranes (ceramide, glucosylceramide and ceramide-1-phosphate) all have cytosolic lipid transfer proteins (LTPs). These LTPs consist of ceramide transfer protein (CERT), four-phosphate adaptor protein 2 (FAPP2) and ceramide-1-phosphate transfer protein (CPTP), respectively. These LTPs execute functions that affect both the location and metabolism of the lipids they bind. Molecular details describing the mechanisms of regulation of LTPs continue to emerge and reveal a number of critical processes, including competing phosphorylation and dephosphorylation reactions and binding interactions with regulatory proteins and lipids that influence the transport, organelle distribution and metabolism of sphingolipids.

Abstract
Continuous cell lines that originate from mammalian tissues serve as not only invaluable tools for life sciences, but also important animal cell substrates for the production of various types of biological pharmaceuticals. Vero cells are susceptible to various types of microbes and toxins and have widely contributed to not only microbiology, but also the production of vaccines for human use. We here showed the genome landscape of a Vero cell line, in which 25,877 putative protein-coding genes were identified in the 2.97-Gb genome sequence. A homozygous ∼9-Mb deletion on chromosome 12 caused the loss of the type I interferon gene cluster and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor genes in Vero cells. In addition, an ∼59-Mb loss of heterozygosity around this deleted region suggested that the homozygosity of the deletion was established by a large-scale conversion. Moreover, a genomic analysis of Vero cells revealed a female Chlorocebus sabaeus origin and proviral variations of the endogenous simian type D retrovirus. These results revealed the genomic basis for the non-tumourigenic permanent Vero cell lineage susceptible to various pathogens and will be useful for generating new sub-lines and developing new tools in the quality control of Vero cells.

Abstract
Sphingolipids are essential components in eukaryotes and have various cellular functions. Recent developments in genome-editing technologies have facilitated gene disruption in various organisms and cell lines. We here show the disruption of various sphingolipid metabolic genes in human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells by using transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs). A TALEN pair targeting the human CERT gene (alternative name COL4A3BP) encoding a ceramide transport protein induced a loss-of-function phenotype in more than 60% of HeLa cells even though the cell line has a pseudo-triploid karyotype. We have isolated several loss-of-function mutant clones for CERT, UGCG (encoding glucosylceramide synthase), and B4GalT5 (encoding the major lactosylceramide synthase), and also a CERT/UGCG double-deficient clone. Characterization of these clones supported previous proposals that CERT primarily contributes to the synthesis of SM but not GlcCer, and that B4GalT5 is the major LacCer synthase. These newly established sphingolipid-deficient HeLa cell mutants together with our previously established stable transfectants provide a ‘sphingolipid-modified HeLa cell panel,’ which will be useful to elucidate the functions of various sphingolipid species against essentially the same genomic background.

Abstract
Viral genetic diversity within infected cells or tissues, called viral quasispecies, has been mostly studied for RNA viruses, but has also been described among DNA viruses, including human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) present in cervical precancerous lesions. However, the extent of HPV genetic variation in cervical specimens, and its involvement in HPV-induced carcinogenesis, remains unclear. Here, we employ deep sequencing to comprehensively analyze genetic variation in the HPV16 genome isolated from individual clinical specimens. Through overlapping full-circle PCR, approximately 8-kb DNA fragments covering the whole HPV16 genome were amplified from HPV16-positive cervical exfoliated cells collected from patients with either low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) or invasive cervical cancer (ICC). Deep sequencing of the amplified HPV16 DNA enabled de novo assembly of the full-length HPV16 genome sequence for each of 7 specimens (5 LSIL and 2 ICC samples). Subsequent alignment of read sequences to the assembled HPV16 sequence revealed that 2 LSILs and 1 ICC contained nucleotide variations within E6, E1 and the non-coding region between E5 and L2 with mutation frequencies of 0.60% to 5.42%. In transient replication assays, a novel E1 mutant found in ICC, E1 Q381E, showed reduced ability to support HPV16 origin-dependent replication. In addition, partially deleted E2 genes were detected in 1 LSIL sample in a mixed state with the intact E2 gene. Thus, the methods used in this study provide a fundamental framework for investigating the influence of HPV somatic genetic variation on cervical carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Although regulatory mechanisms for immune cells with inhibitory signals via immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs are well known, signals transduced via interaction between Siglecs and sialyl compounds on their counterreceptors into target cells have not been reported to date. In this study, we found that an astrocytoma cell line, AS, showed detachment from culture plates when co-cultured with Siglec-9-expressing cells and/or soluble Siglec-9. Moreover, detached AS cells regrew as co-cultured cells with Siglec-9-deficient cells. They also showed increased motility and invasiveness upon Siglec-9 binding. In immunoblotting, rapid degradation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and related signaling molecules such as Akt, paxillin, and p130Cas was observed immediately after the co-culture. Despite degradation of these molecules, increased p-Akt was found at the front region of the cytoplasm, probably reflecting increased cell motility. Calpain was considered to be a responsible protease for the protein degradation by the inhibition experiments. These results suggest that protein degradation of FAK and related molecules was induced by Siglec-9 binding to its counterreceptors via sialylglycoconjugates, leading to the modulation of adhesion kinetics of cancer cells. Thus, this might be a mechanism by which cancer cells utilize Siglec-9-derived signals to escape from immunosurveillance.

Abstract
Ceramide transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus is crucial in sphingolipid biosynthesis, and the process relies on the ceramide trafficking protein (CERT), which contains pleckstrin homology (PH) and StAR-related lipid transfer domains. The CERT PH domain specifically recognizes phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate (PtdIns(4)P), a characteristic phosphoinositide in the Golgi membrane, and is indispensable for the endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi transport of ceramide by CERT. In this study, we determined the three-dimensional structure of the CERT PH domain by using solution NMR techniques. The structure revealed the presence of a characteristic basic groove near the canonical PtdIns(4)P recognition site. An extensive interaction study using NMR and other biophysical techniques revealed that the basic groove coordinates the CERT PH domain for efficient PtdIns(4)P recognition and localization in the Golgi apparatus. The notion was also supported by Golgi mislocalization of the CERT mutants in living cells. The distinctive binding modes reflect the functions of PH domains, as the basic groove is conserved only in the PH domains involved with the PtdIns(4)P-dependent lipid transport activity but not in those with the signal transduction activity.

Abstract
Ten-Eleven-Translocation 2 (TET2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 5-methylcytosine into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) and thereby alters the epigenetic state of DNA; somatic loss-of-function mutations of TET2 are frequently observed in patients with diverse myeloid malignancies. To study the function of TET2 in vivo, we analyzed Ayu17-449 (TET2(trap)) mice, in which a gene trap insertion in intron 2 of TET2 reduces TET2 mRNA levels to about 20% of that found in wild-type (WT) mice. TET2(trap/trap) mice were born at Mendelian frequency but died at a high rate by postnatal day 3, indicating the essential role of TET2 for survival. Loss of TET2 results in an increase in the number of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs)/progenitors in the fetal liver, and TET2(trap/trap) HSCs exhibit an increased self-renewal ability in vivo. In competitive transplantation assays, TET2(trap/trap) HSCs possess a competitive growth advantage over WT HSCs. These data indicate that TET2 has a critical role in survival and HSC homeostasis.

Abstract
Immune cells are known to express specific recognition molecules for cell surface glycans. However, mechanisms involved in glycan-mediated cell-cell interactions in mucosal immunity have largely been left unaccounted for. We found that several glycans preferentially expressed in nonmalignant colonic epithelial cells serve as ligands for sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectins (siglecs), the immunosuppressive carbohydrate-recognition receptors carried by immune cells. The siglec ligand glycans in normal colonic epithelial cells included disialyl Lewis(a), which was found to have binding activity to both siglec-7 and -9, and sialyl 6-sulfo Lewis(x), which exhibited significant binding to siglec-7. Expression of these siglec-7/-9 ligands was impaired upon carcinogenesis, and they were replaced by cancer-associated glycans sialyl Lewis(a) and sialyl Lewis(x), which have no siglec ligand activity. When we characterized immune cells expressing siglecs in colonic lamina propriae by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy, the majority of colonic stromal immune cells expressing siglec-7/-9 turned out to be resident macrophages characterized by low expression of CD14/CD89 and high expression of CD68/CD163. A minor subpopulation of CD8(+) T lymphocytes also expressed siglec-7/-9. Siglec-7/-9 ligation suppressed LPS-induced cyclooxygenase-2 expression and PGE(2) production by macrophages. These results suggest that normal glycans of epithelial cells exert a suppressive effect on cyclooxygenase-2 expression by resident macrophages, thus maintaining immunological homeostasis in colonic mucosal membranes. Our results also imply that loss of immunosuppressive glycans by impaired glycosylation during colonic carcinogenesis enhances inflammatory mediator production.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Accumulating evidence has implicated insulin and the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis in colorectal carcinogenesis. Of interest, adiposity is likely to impose a greater risk on men than on women, which indicates that the association of insulin and the IGF axis with colorectal neoplasia may differ by gender. However, epidemiological evidence for this possible gender difference is limited to date. METHODS We measured plasma concentrations of C-peptide, IGF-I and IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) 1 and 3 in 1520 healthy volunteer examinees who underwent total colonoscopy between February 2004 and February 2005, and cross-sectionally investigated the association of these biomarkers with colorectal adenoma by gender. An unconditional logistic regression model was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for colorectal adenoma after adjustment for potential confounders. RESULTS We observed a positive association of C-peptide and IGF-I (P (trend)<0.001 and 0.02, respectively) and an inverse association of IGFBP-1 (P (trend)=0.002) with colorectal adenoma in men. Adjusted ORs of colorectal adenoma for the highest compared with the lowest quartile were also statistically significant for C-peptide (OR: 2.62, 95% CI: 1.71-4.01), IGF-I (OR: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.08-2.46) and IGFBP-1 (OR: 0.49, 95% CI: 0.32-0.75). In contrast, no measurable association was seen in women. Corresponding ORs for C-peptide, IGF-I and IGFBP-1 were 0.98 (95% CI: 0.56-1.71), 0.79 (95% CI: 0.44-1.43) and 1.05 (95% CI: 0.60-1.86), respectively. The gender difference was statistically significant for C-peptide (P (interaction)=0.03) and marginally significant for IGF-I and IGFBP-1 (P (interaction)=0.14 and 0.12, respectively). CONCLUSION Our observations suggest that insulin and the IGF axis act differently by gender in colorectal carcinogenesis, at least in its early stage. The findings of this study further our understanding of the complexities of the gender difference in the association between adiposity and colorectal neoplasia.
