Abstract
We report a case of secondary adrenal insufficiency due to nivolumab. An 83-year-old man with acral lentiginous types of melanoma on the right sole visited our department in March 2017. He received primary surgery at referred hospital in June 2017, and pathological stage was IIIC (pT3bN3M0) according to AJCC (American Joint Committee on Cancer) 7th edition criteria. During the follow-up period, a lot of in-transit metastases appeared on the right leg. While we were resecting in-transit metastases, we concurrently started nivolumab in September 2018. After 17 cycles of nivolumab treatment, he developed severe nausea and anorexia. At baseline, his cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone levels were both at normal range, but corticotropin-releasing hormone loading test revealed secondary adrenal insufficiency. We diagnosed isolated adrenal insufficiency due to nivolumab. Treatment by hydrocortisone immediately relieved nausea and anorexia, and we could have continued treatment of nivolumab.

Abstract
Assessment of treatment efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors in melanoma patients is difficult as the response to these therapies varies among patients or lesions. The clonal evolution of cancer during immune checkpoint blockade therapy could cause treatment resistance. We investigated the potential of liquid biopsy in monitoring the mutational profiles of metastatic melanoma during immunotherapy. Plasma samples collected from 21 Japanese metastatic melanoma patients before immune checkpoint blockade therapy were subjected to whole‐exome sequencing (WES). Furthermore, 14 Japanese patients with melanoma were enrolled for longitudinal analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). Plasma samples were collected prospectively before and during therapy and sequenced. WES of the pretreatment plasma from Japanese melanoma patients showed detectable ctDNA levels with wide ranges of variant allele frequencies within a sample, suggesting clonal and subclonal mutations in ctDNA. In targeted sequencing using longitudinal samples, ctDNA levels correlated with increased tumor size, while ctDNA content immediately decreased after a surge in a patient exhibiting pseudo‐progression, suggesting the potential of ctDNA analysis in discriminating between pseudo‐ and true progression. Mutant ctDNA levels showed different patterns within the clinical course of specific patients, suggesting that these mutations were derived from different tumor clones with distinct therapeutic responses. During further investigation, WES of plasma samples from 1 patient showed marked differences in the mutational profiles of ctDNA, including expansive tumor evolution during an acute exacerbation. Immunotherapy may induce characteristic clonal evolutions of tumors; longitudinal analysis of ctDNA has the potential of determining these tumor evolution patterns and therapeutic responses.

Abstract
AIM The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) c.415C>T in exon 3 of NUDT15 affects thiopurine-induced leukopenia in Asian patients with Crohn's disease. Meanwhile, three additional genetic variants of NUDT15 were reported in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. We evaluated the effects of these additional genetic variants of NUDT15 in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treated with thiopurines. METHODS Ninety-six Japanese patients with IBD were enrolled. Genotyping for the NUDT15 and TPMT genes was performed using Custom TaqMan SNP genotyping assays or Sanger sequencing. The changes in white blood cell (WBC) count, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), platelet count, hemoglobin, CRP, amylase, albumin, AST, ALT, and ESR were evaluated. RESULTS Genetic variants of exon 1 and exon 3 of NUDT15 were identified in 24 of 96 patients (25.0%). C.52G > A and c.36_37insGGAGTC in exon 1 were found in three patients each. All three patients with c.36_37insGGAGTC in exon 1 were heterozygotes of p.Arg139Cys in exon 3. Eighteen patients had p.Arg139Cys in exon 3 alone. The WBC count gradually decreased after initiation of thiopurine treatment in the mutated cases (n = 24), and was significantly lower at 6, 8, 10, and 16 wk (P = 0.0271, 0.0037, 0.0051, and 0.0185, respectively). The WBC counts were also evaluated in patients with and without prednisolone treatment. In the patients with prednisolone treatment, the WBC count tended to show a greater decrease in the mutated cases, with significant differences at 8 and 10 wk (P = 0.012 and 0.029, respectively). In the patients without prednisolone treatment, the WBC count was significantly lower at 2, 4, 8, and 14 wk in mutated cases (P = 0.0196, 0.0182, 0.0237 and 0.0241, respectively). MCV increased after starting thiopurine treatment in the mutated cases, and was significantly higher at 10 wk (P = 0.0085). Platelet count, hemoglobin, CRP, amylase, albumin, AST, ALT and ESR did not differ significantly between the wild-type and mutated cases. TPMT mutations were not found in any of the patients. CONCLUSION Mutations in exon 1 of NUDT15 also affect thiopurine-induced leukopenia in patients with IBD. To discuss thiopurine-induced leukopenia in more detail, investigation of SNPs in both exon 1 and exon 3 of NUDT15 is needed.

Abstract
By the recent introduction of molecular targeting drugs against BRAF mutation and immune checkpoint inhibitors, the prognosis of patients with melanoma in advanced stage is now improving, but still in the minority. Mucosal melanoma lacks the BRAF mutations, and hence conventional chemotherapeutic regimens must be improved. We have conventionally used dacarbazine (DTIC) for patients with metastatic mucosal melanoma. However, the efficacy of DTIC in patients with metastatic mucosal melanoma has been limited. Therefore, we explored other possibilities to improve the prognosis of patients suffering from metastatic mucosal melanoma. In this communication, we present a retrospective analysis of the sequential combination chemotherapy of DTIC with carboplatin and paclitaxel (CP) for metastatic mucosal melanoma of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. The objective response rate of seven patients is 14.3% by RECIST 1.1 and the overall survival (OS) is 12.5 months. These data indicate that the sequential combination chemotherapy of DTIC with CP could be an option for patients with metastatic mucosal melanoma of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses who are currently ending into dismal prognosis.

Abstract
In the present study, we examined the possible interaction between Rab4 and syntaxin 4, both having been implicated in insulin-induced GLUT4 translocation. Rab4 and syntaxin 4 were coimmunoprecipitated from the lysates of electrically permeabilized rat adipocytes. The interaction between the two proteins was reduced by insulin treatment and increased by the addition of guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTPgammaS). An in vitro binding assay revealed that the bacterially expressed Rab4 was bound to a glutathione S-transferase fusion protein containing the cytoplasmic domain of syntaxin 4 (GST-syntaxin 4-(1-273)) but not to syntaxin 1A or vesicle-associated membrane protein-2. The interaction between Rab4 and syntaxin 4 seemed to be regulated by the guanine nucleotide status of Rab4, because 1) GTPgammaS treatment of the cells significantly increased, but guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDPbetaS) treatment decreased the amount of Rab4 pulled down with GST-syntaxin 4-(1-273) from the cell lysates; 2) GTPgammaS loading on Rab4 caused a marked increase in the affinity of Rab4 to syntaxin 4 whereas GDPbetaS loading had little effect; and 3) a GTPase-deficient mutant of Rab4 (Rab4(Q67L)), but not a GTP-binding-defective mutant (Rab4(S22N)), was bound to GST-syntaxin 4-(1-273). Although insulin stimulated [gamma-(32)P]GTP binding to Rab4 in a time-dependent fashion, its effect on the Rab4 interaction with syntaxin 4 was apparently biphasic; an initial increase in Rab4 associated with syntaxin 4 was followed by a gradual dissociation of the GTPase from syntaxin 4. Finally, the binding of Rab4(Q67L) to GST-syntaxin 4-(1-273) was inhibited by munc-18c in a dose-dependent manner, indicating that GTP-loaded Rab4 binds to syntaxin 4 in the open conformation. These results suggest that 1) Rab4 interacts with syntaxin 4 in a direct and specific manner, and 2) the interaction is regulated by the guanine nucleotide status of Rab4 as well as by the conformational status of syntaxin 4.

Abstract
Actin-based cytoskeletons have been implicated in insulin-stimulated glucose transport and translocation of the insulin-regulated glucose transporter, GLUT4, from the intracellular pool to the plasma membrane. However, most previous studies were done using adherent cell systems such as L6 myotubes and 3T3-L1 adipocytes, and very little information is available on the significance of the actin filaments to the insulin action in isolated adipocytes, a widely used experimental system. In the present study, we investigated the physiological role of actin filaments in the subcellular trafficking of GLUT4 in isolated rat adipocytes. We first compared the effects of two actin-disrupting reagents, latrunculin A and cytochalasin D, on the organization of the actin filaments as well as on the insulin action on glucose transport by laser confocal microscopy combined with biochemical analysis of the insulin action. Treatment of the cells with latrunculin A induced dose- and time-dependent disappearance of the filamentous actin, which correlated very well with inhibition of the insulin effect on glucose transport. Although cytochalasin D at 50 microM significantly inhibited insulin-stimulated glucose transport, it was not effective in disassembly of the actin filaments; rather, many intense punctate signals were observed in cytochalasin D-treated cells. In the actin-disrupted adipocytes treated with latrunculin A, insulin-induced GLUT4 translocation was inhibited completely. In addition, latrunculin A remarkably inhibited both insulin-induced glucose transport and GLUT4 translocation in the presense of D(k)-(62-85), a potent inhibitor of GLUT4 endocytosis, suggesting that intactness of the actin filaments was necessary for insulin-induced exocytosis of the GLUT4-containing vesicles. On the other hand, latrunculin A showed little inhibitory effect on either endocytosis of the trypsin-cleaved 35-kDa fragment of GLUT4 or decay of the glucose transport activity after addition of wortmannin in insulin-stimulated cells. The results of our experiment show clearly that, in rat adipocytes, (i) latrunculin A may be a more suitable tool than cytochalasin D for disruption of actin filaments, and (ii) actin filaments play a crucial role in exocytotic recruitment of GLUT4 to the plasma membrane from the intracellular pool, but not in its endocytosis.

Abstract
Phenobarbital, a potent inducer of CYP2B isozyme of cytochrome P450, induces mainly CYP2A but not CYP2B in the Chinese hamster liver. A major isozyme inducible by phenobarbital was purified by column chromatography from Chinese hamster livers. This isozyme, named P450CH2A-2 and designated CYP2A14, had in the reconstituted system high activities of 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase (43 nmol/min/nmol P450) and aflatoxin B1 activation and a moderate activity of testosterone 15alpha-hydroxylase and coumarin 7-hydroxylase. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified protein had a high homology with those of CYP2A proteins. cDNA of this isozyme was analyzed by screening a Chinese hamster liver cDNA library with cDNA of CYP2A1 as a probe, and the obtained clone encoded a protein of 494 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 56.4 kDa. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of 20 residues was identical to that derived from the purified protein. The deduced amino acid sequence of the clone had a high identity with most of CYP2A proteins (>65%) and thus was designated CYP2A14. Immunoblot and Northern blot analyses demonstrated that this isozyme was induced markedly by phenobarbital but not with 3-methylcholanthrene and constitutes one of the major components in livers of phenobarbital-treated Chinese hamsters.

Abstract
We have investigated the subcellular distribution of GLUT4 by immunofluorescence microscopy after transfection with wild-type or mutant dynamin cDNA into Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing insulin receptor and GLUT4. In the basal state, GLUT4 was distributed exclusively within the cells in the cells overexpressing wild-type dynamin (CHOIR-GLUT4-WT) but was located at the cell surface in the cells overexpressing mutant dynamin (CHOIR-GLUT4-K44E). Insulin induced subcellular shift of GLUT4 to the cell surface in CHOIR-GLUT4-WT cells but had little effect in CHOIR-GLUT4-K44E cells. When insulin-stimulated cells were treated with wortmannin, GLUT4 was redistributed within the cells in CHOIR-GLUT4-WT cell, whereas it remained at the cell surface in CHOIR-GLUT4-K44E cell. These results suggest that dynamin is a regulatory GTPase in endocytosis of GLUT4.

Abstract
Rab4, a member of the Rab family of Ras-related small GTP-binding proteins, has been shown to be associated with GLUT4-containing vesicles and implicated in the insulin action on glucose transport in rat adipocytes. In the present study, we investigated the insulin effects on the guanine nucleotide exchange on Rab4. In electrically permeabilized rat adipocytes, the amount of [35S]guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotrisphosphate) (GTPgammaS) bound to Rab4 increased in a time-dependent manner during 45 min of the incubation period. Addition of insulin resulted in about a 2-fold stimulation of the binding of [35S]GTPgammaS to Rab4, indicating that insulin stimulated the guanine nucleotide exchange on the GTPase. Pretreatment of the cells with wortmannin, a specific inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, completely abolished the stimulatory effect of insulin on [35S]GTPgammaS binding to Rab4. Wortmannin also attenuated the nucleotide binding to Rab4 in the basal cells, suggesting that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity may be essential for regulation of guanine nucleotide exchange on the GTPase and insulin may up-regulate the exchange activity by stimulating the lipid kinase. Insulin-induced subcellular redistribution of Rab4 from the microsomal fraction to the soluble fraction was also inhibited by wortmannin. These results suggest that insulin stimulates the guanine nucleotide exchange on Rab4 via a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent signaling pathway and that Rab4 is one of possible targets of insulin action on intracellular vesicle traffic in rat adipocytes.

Abstract
When 1 microgram 125I-follistatin was administered into a rat intravenously, radioactivity levels in serum decreased rapidly. Analysis with a biexponential equation showed that the initial half-life and the terminal half-life were 4.0 and 130.8 minutes, respectively. After 2 hours of infusion, approximately 9% of the follistatin infused remained in the liver, which was much more than that in kidney, spleen, pancreas, intestine, or lung. Autoradiography of the liver obtained at 24 hours of infusion revealed that numerous grains were located in parenchymal cells. Radioactivity of 125I-follistatin in the liver remained elevated until 72 hours and declined markedly thereafter. When a booster shot of 125I-follistatin was administered at 72 hours, radioactivity in the liver at 120 hours was markedly increased compared with that in rats that received a single shot of 125I-follistatin. We then examined the effect of intravenous infusion of follistatin on liver regeneration after hepatectomy of 70%. Immediately after the hepatectomy, either 1 microgram follistatin or saline was infused intravenously. In some rats, a booster shot was infused at 72 hours. After 120 hours of hepatectomy of 70%, remnant liver weight, liver regeneration rate, and DNA content were significantly (P < .05) higher in rats that received a booster shot of follistatin at 72 hours than those in control rats. These results indicate that follistatin administered intravenously accumulates in the liver and promotes liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to examine the involvement of Rab4, a low molecular weight GTP-binding protein, in the action of insulin on glucose transport. A synthetic peptide corresponding to the Rab4 hypervariable carboxyl-terminal domain, Rab4-(191-210), was successfully transferred into rat adipocytes by electroporation and inhibited insulin-stimulated glucose transport by about 50% without affecting the basal transport activity. In contrast, synthetic peptides corresponding to the Rab3C and Rab3D carboxyl-terminal hypervariable domain had little effect on insulin action on glucose transport. The Rab4-(191-210) peptide also reduced insulin-induced GLUT4 translocation from the intracellular pool to the plasma membrane. Furthermore, the Rab4-(191-210) peptide reduced both insulin-induced glucose transport and GLUT4 translocation in the presence of a major histocompatibility complex class I antigen-derived peptide, D(k)-(62-85), which is a potent inhibitor of GLUT4 internalization, suggesting that the peptide inhibited exocytotic recruitment of GLUT4-containing vesicles. The Rab4-(191-210) peptide also inhibited GTP gamma S-stimulated glucose transport. In addition, insulin-stimulated glucose transport was inhibited by the addition of anti-Rab4 antibody. These results suggest that Rab4 protein plays a crucial role in insulin action on GLUT4 translocation, especially in exocytotic recruitment by the hormone of the glucose transporter to the plasma membrane from the intracellular retention pool.

Abstract
The effects of guanine nucleotides on either exocytosis or endocytosis of GLUT4 were examined in electrically permeabilized rat adipocytes by using Dk-(62-85), a major histocompatibility complex class I-derived peptide. Reversal of glucose transport activity that had been stimulated with insulin was completely blocked by Dk-(62-85). Likewise, endocytosis of the trypsin-cleaved 35-kDa fragment of GLUT4 was almost completely inhibited by the peptide. Insulin-stimulated glucose transport activity was enhanced about 50% by Dk-(62-85), whereas the basal transport activity was stimulated only slightly. Although guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) augmented glucose transport to the same extent as insulin in the absence of the peptide, glucose transport stimulated by GTP gamma S was only 60% of the insulin effect in the presence of the peptide; the effect of insulin was markedly enhanced by Dk-(62-85), whereas GTP gamma S-induced glucose transport was not affected, suggesting that GTP gamma S has an effect similar to that of the peptide. In fact, endocytosis of the 35-kDa fragment of GLUT4 was markedly inhibited by GTP gamma S. Additionally, GLUT4 endocytosis was accelerated by GTP but was inhibited by guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate). These results indicate that GTP gamma S induces translocation of GLUT4 by both stimulating exocytosis and inhibiting endocytosis. With respect to the dependence on GTP hydrolysis, distinct types of GTP-binding proteins are involved in exocytosis and endocytosis of GLUT4.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Activin A is an autocrine negative regulator of DNA synthesis in rat hepatocytes and is expressed in remnant liver after partial hepatectomy. To determine the role of activin A in liver regeneration, the effects of exogenous follistatin, which blocks the action of activin A, were examined. METHODS Human recombinant follistatin was infused into the portal vein immediately after 70% hepatectomy. Changes in body weight, remnant liver weight, liver regeneration rate, and nuclear bromodeoxyuridine labeling were measured. RESULTS In control rats, nuclear labeling was observed at 24 hours and peaked at 36 hours after the hepatectomy. In follistatin-treated rats, nuclear labeling was first observed after 18 hours and was significantly (P < 0.05) greater than that in control rats at 24 hours. In follistatin-treated rats, both remnant liver weight and liver regeneration rate were significantly greater at 120 hours. Serum concentrations of albumin and glucose remained reduced for up to 120 hours in control rats but recovered in follistatin-treated rats. CONCLUSIONS A single administration of follistatin accelerates the initial round of DNA synthesis after partial hepatectomy. Activin A produced in remnant liver may exert tonic inhibitory effect on liver regeneration. Follistatin may be useful as a potential therapeutic agent to promote liver regeneration.

Abstract
71 Japanese patients, who were diagnosed as a schizoaffective psychosis (ICD-295.7) and admitted in the year of 1979 in the department of psychiatry of Nagoya City University Hospital and psychiatric ward of its branch hospital, were investigated on the following clinical features: Age of the first psychotic manifestation, heredity, premorbid personality, situation of manifestations, symptomatology, clinical course, somatic complications, EEG-findings and sorts of treatments. This group then was compared statistically with 71 German patients with schizoaffective psychoses, who were admitted in the year of 1980 in the psychiatric department of Munich University Hospital. The statistical differences between these two groups revealed mainly in their symptomatology, not in the other clinical features mentioned above exept a certain type of the premorbid personality and a certain situation of falling ill. As for the delusions, the delusion of reference was very commonly found among the Japanese group, but relatively few in the German (p less than 0,01). On the other hand, the delusion of guilt was much frequent among the German, but extremely rare in the Japanese (p less than 0,001). The depressive symptoms were more frequently seen in the German (p less than 0,001), whereas the catatonic symptomes were more commonly found in the Japanese. Delusion of possession was seen in the Japanese group exclusively. On the premorbid personality-types, the trait of the sensitive personality was more frequently found in the Japanese (p less than 0,05), however, when considering the situations of the manifestations, the inner familial conflicts were found much fewer in the Japanese (p less than 0,05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
