Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Does endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and Notch signaling affect cumulus-oocyte complex (COC) expansion in pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?
Summary answer
Notch signaling is induced via activation of ER stress in granulosa cells (GCs) of PCOS and stimulates COC expansion that is abrogated by Notch inhibition.
What is known already
PCOS presents a variety of symptoms including ovarian dysfunction which is caused by various local factors in follicular microenvironment; among them, ER stress and following activation of unfolded protein response are critical, causing ovarian fibrosis, growth arrest of antral follicles and other ovarian dysfunctions. While Notch signaling pathway plays an important role of various ovarian functions such as ovarian development, follicle growth, luteinization and steroid hormone synthesis, the potential interaction between Notch signaling and ER stress in ovarian function is not determined.
Study design, size, duration
To examine expression levels of Notch signaling, ovaries and granulosa-lutein cells (GLCs) were collected from PCOS patients undergoing surgery or IVF. Human GLCs were collected from follicular fluid of IVF patients and cultured under ER-stressed condition. COCs obtained from PMSG-primed mice were subjected to examine the in vitro effects of ER stress activation and Notch inhibition on COC expansion. To examine the in vivo effects of Notch inhibition, dehydroepiandrosterone-induced PCOS mouse model was used.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
The expression levels of Notch signaling in ovaries and GLCs were investigated by immunohistochemistry and real time qPCR. To examine whether Notch signaling is activated by ER stress, human GLCs were incubated with ER stress inducer or inhibitor and ATF4 was knocked down by RNA interference. To investigate COC expansion level, murine COCs were cultured under ER stress condition with/without Notch signaling inhibitor. The COCs were collected from PCOS mice treated with/without Notch inhibitor.
Main results and the role of chance
We found that the expression levels of Notch2 and Hey2, a transcription factor activated by Notch signaling, were upregulated in GCs of antral follicles from PCOS patients and PCOS mice by using immunohistochemical analysis. Similarly, mRNA levels of these genes were higher in GLCs from PCOS patients than those from control patients. Notch signaling was induced in cultured human GLCs incubated with an ER stress inducer, tunicamycin; the effect was abrogated by incubation with an ER stress inhibitor, tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), or knockdown of activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4, a transcription factor induced by ER stress). These findings suggest that Notch signaling is induced by ER stress via ATF4 pathway in human GCs. Measuring under a microscope, the area of expanded COCs was increased in cultured murine COCs incubated with tunicamycin, while this stimulatory effect of tunicamycin was abrogated by adding a Notch signaling inhibitor, DAPT. The area of expanded COCs obtained from PCOS model mice was increased compared to control mice, while administration of DAPT to these mice reduced the area. These results suggest that ER stress-induced Notch signaling stimulate COC expansion contributing PCOS pathophysiology.
Limitations, reasons for caution
COC expansion area was measured only in PCOS model mouse; it is unknown whether COC expansion is induced in PCOS patients. This point requires further investigation in PCOS patients.
Wider implications of the findings
Our findings suggest that ER stress-induced Notch signaling affects COC expansion, associated with ovulatory dysfunction in PCOS. The detailed understandings of PCOS pathophysiology may be beneficial for substantial clinical implications and inhibition of ER stress or Notch signaling may serve as a novel therapeutic approach for PCOS.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
From when do abnormality in gut microbiome and phenotypes of PCOS appear during the process of growth?
Summary answer
Reproductive phenotypes of PCOS appear from 6 weeks and metabolic phenotypes from 12 weeks onward. Alteration in gut microbiome appears as early as 4 weeks.
What is known already
The etiology of PCOS remains largely unknown, however PCOS is considered as a complex multigenic disorder with strong epigenetic and environmental influence. Previous studies have suggested that fetal over-exposure to androgens could be the main factor of the development of PCOS after birth. On the other hands, recent studies on both human and PCOS rodent models have demonstrated the association between PCOS and alteration of gut microbiome in adulthood. Furthermore, it was recently reported that gut microbiome in obese adolescent with PCOS is different from obese adolescent without PCOS.
Study design, size, duration
A rodent PCOS model induced by prenatal dehydroepiandrosterone (DHT) exposure was applied to this study. Phenotypes and gut microbiome were compared between PCOS model mice (n = 12/group) and control mice (n = 10/group) at each stage of growth; 4 weeks (prepuberty), 6 weeks (puberty), 8 weeks (adolescent), 12 weeks (young adult), and 16 weeks (adult). The determinants for PCOS phenotypes are onset of puberty, estrous cycle, morphology of ovaries, serum testosterone level, body weight, and insulin resistance.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Pregnant dams were subcutaneously injected on days of 16, 17, and 18 of gestation with either sesame oil for control groups or sesame oil containing 250µg of DHT for prenatal DHT groups. The evaluation of PCOS phenotypes and gut microbiome in female offspring were performed at each stage of growth. For examination of gut microbiota, next generation sequencing and bioinformatics analysis of 16S rRNA genes were performed on DNA extracted from mouse fecal samples.
Main results and the role of chance
Prenatal DHT mice exhibited delayed puberty onset, disrupted estrous cycle, and significantly increased testosterone levels from 6 weeks onward. Significantly increased atretic antral follicles were observed in prenatal DHT mice at 6, 12, and 16 weeks. Prenatal DHT mice showed significantly decreased body weight at 4, 6, 8 weeks and increased body weight from 12 weeks onward. As for gut microbiome, alpha-diversity was significantly different between control and prenatal DHT mice from 8 weeks onward and beta-diversity was significantly different at 6 and 8 weeks. Altered composition of gut microbiota was observed as early as 4 weeks. At phylum level, Firmicutes are significantly increased in prenatal DHT mice at 4 and 8 weeks and decreased at 16 weeks. Actinobacteria phylum showed significant decrease at 6 and 8 weeks in prenatal DHT mice. At genus level, relative abundance of several bacterial taxa significantly differed between control and prenatal DHT mice; some taxa, such as Allobaculum, Adlercreutzia, Bilophila, Clostridium, Gemella, Gemmiger, Roseburia, Ruminococcus, Staphylococcus, and Sutterella, exhibited constant increase or decrease in prenatal DHT mice during the process of growth. Interestingly, Roseburia was never detected in prenatal DHT mice, while approximately half of control mice harbored Roseburia at 12 and 16 weeks.
Limitations, reasons for caution
It is not clearly determined whether alteration in gut microbiome is cause or result of PCOS development, although the changes in gut microbiome seemed to precede the appearance of typical PCOS phenotypes in the present study. Mouse model does not completely recapitulate human PCOS.
Wider implications of the findings: Our findings suggest that prenatal androgen exposure causes alteration of gut microbiome from pre-puberty onward, even before PCOS phenotypes become apparent. Intervention for girls at risk of PCOS with pre/pro-biotics may prevent them from developing PCOS in future.

Abstract
Background:Patients (pts) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have an increased risk of some malignancies vs the general population, and this can vary by region/race.1,2 Data on the epidemiology and impact of biological (b)DMARDs and targeted synthetic (ts)DMARDs, such as Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, on the incidence of malignancies in Japanese pts with RA are limited. The National Database of Rheumatic Diseases in Japan (NinJa) is one of the largest RA registries in Japan.Objectives:To evaluate the incidence of malignancies in Japanese pts with RA using NinJa registry data.Methods:This retrospective observational study analysed NinJa registry data for Japanese pts with RA aged ≥18 years with ≥1 data entry between 2013 (first JAK inhibitor approval for RA in Japan) and 2018. The overall cohort included all pts with RA, and two sub-cohorts were analysed: pts exposed and unexposed to bDMARDs (exposure defined as ≥1 bDMARD reported in database). Crude incidence rates (IRs) for malignancies (including non-melanoma skin cancer) were calculated as the number of events per 100 pt-years of follow-up (time between start of follow-up or the date of first bDMARD exposure [for bDMARD-exposed pts] and end of observation period, or withdrawal from database). The most recent data for incidence of malignancy in the Japanese general population (2013–2017 data from the National Cancer Center, Japan) were used to calculate standardised incidence ratios (SIRs) and age- and sex-adjusted standardised rates (ASRs) for malignancies. Cross-sectional (per calendar year) and cumulative analyses were performed for the overall cohort. Cumulative rates were calculated for sub-cohorts, and all cumulative analyses were repeated excluding pts exposed to JAK inhibitors (ie ≥1 JAK inhibitor reported in database).Results:Data were collected for 26 607 Japanese pts with RA from 2013–2018. In the cross-sectional analysis (Table 1), the SIR and ASR for malignancies in all pts with RA were generally consistent from 2013–2018. In the cumulative analysis, the SIR (95% CI) for malignancies from 2013–2018 was 0.97 (0.91, 1.03) in all pts with RA, and 0.93 (0.82, 1.04) and 0.99 (0.92, 1.07) in pts exposed and unexposed to bDMARDs, respectively (Figure 1). Adjusting for age/sex, the cumulative ASR (95% CI) for malignancies from 2013–2018 was 0.83 (0.76, 0.90) in all pts with RA, and 0.82 (0.69, 0.95) and 0.86 (0.77, 0.96) in pts exposed and unexposed to bDMARDs, respectively (Figure 1). In all cohorts, the cumulative SIR and ASR were similar when pts exposed to JAK inhibitors were excluded (Figure 1).Table 1.Cross-sectional analysis of the incidence of malignancies in Japanese pts with RA from 2013–2018All RA2013 (N=13 423)2014 (N=15 584)2015 (N=15 751)2016 (N=16 107)2017 (N=15 994)2018(N=15 003)Total follow-up, PY13 35314 86614 82914 97014 74814 898Pts with events, n140164174168161211Crude IRa(95% CI)1.05(0.89, 1.24)1.10(0.95, 1.29)1.17(1.01, 1.36)1.12(0.97, 1.31)1.09(0.94, 1.27)1.42(1.24, 1.62)ASRa,b(95% CI)0.76(0.60, 0.93)0.76(0.62, 0.90)0.90(0.68, 1.11)0.88(0.68, 1.07)0.80(0.62, 0.98)0.88(0.74, 1.01)SIRb(95% CI)0.97(0.82, 1.14)1.01(0.86, 1.17)1.02(0.87, 1.18)0.88(0.75, 1.02)0.86(0.73, 1.00)1.10(0.95, 1.25)aIR/ASR were calculated as number of events per 100 PY of follow-upbData from a Japanese general population database of malignancy incidence from 2013–2017, provided by the Center for Cancer Control and Information Services, National Cancer Center, JapanPY, pt-yearsConclusion:The incidence of malignancies in Japanese pts with RA, registered in the NinJa database from 2013–2018, was similar to that in the Japanese general population.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), several tens to hundreds of nanometers in size, are vesicles secreted by cells for intercellular communication. EVs released from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-EVs) have the potential to treat multiple diseases. This study aimed to determine the effects of MSC-EVs on bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), whose pathogenesis and treatment are not yet established. To this end, zoledronic acid (ZOL) was administered to bone marrow cells and fibroblasts in vitro. In vivo, a BRONJ model was produced by administering ZOL to rats and extracting teeth. Each MSC-EV-treated and nontreated group was compared histologically and molecularly. In vitro, the nontreated group showed an increased number of β-galactosidase-positive cells and expression of senescence-associated genes p21, pRB and senescence-related inflammatory cytokines. Conversely, MSC-EV administration decreased the number of senescent cells and expression levels of p21, pRB and inflammatory cytokines. In vivo, in the nontreated group, the socket was partially uncovered by the oral epithelium, leaving an exposed bone. Conversely, in the MSC-EV-treated group, the socket was healed. Besides, in the nontreated group, β-galactosidase-positive cells existed in the socket and colocalized with the CD90 and periostin-positive cells. However, there were few β-galactosidase-positive cells in the MSC-EV-treated group. Furthermore, gene expression of stem cell markers Bmi1 and Hmga2 and the vascular endothelial marker VEGF was significantly increased in the MSC-EV-treated group, compared with that in the nontreated group. These results indicate that MSC-EVs prevent ZOL-induced senescence in stem cells, osteoblasts, and fibroblasts and reduce inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, administration of MSC-EVs prevented senescence of cells involved in wound healing and the spread of chronic inflammation around senescent cells, thereby promoting angiogenesis and bone regeneration and preventing BRONJ.

Abstract
Autophagy, an essential catabolic pathway of degrading cellular components within the lysosome, has been found to benefit the growth and therapeutic resistance of cancer cells. In this study, we investigated the role of autophagy in the radio-sensitivity of cancer stem cells. By separating CD44+/CD133+ cancer stem cells from parental HCT8 human colorectal cancer cells, we found a significantly higher level of autophagy in the CD44+/CD133+ cells than in the parental cells. Exposure to 5 Gy of γ-ray significantly damaged both CD44+/CD133+ cells and parental cells, but the radiation-induced damage did not differ between the groups. Unexpectedly, autophagy was not significantly induced by radiation exposure in the CD44+/CD133+ cells and parental cells. The inhibition of autophagy by the silencing of ATG7, a factor required for autophagy at the stage of autophagosome precursor synthesis, did not significantly change the growth and radiation-induced damage in both CD44+/CD133+ cells and parental cells. Although an enhanced basic level of autophagy was found in the CD44+/CD133+ cancer stem cells, our data suggest that the canonical autophagy in cancer cells plays few roles, if any, in radio-sensitivity.

Abstract
Cancer cells express the M2 isoform of glycolytic enzyme pyruvate kinase (PKM2) for favoring the survival under a hypoxic condition. Considering the relative low oxygen microenvironment in stem cell niche, we hypothesized that an enhanced PKM2 expression associates with the biological properties of cancer stem cells. We used A549 human lung cancer cell line and surgical resected lung cancer tissue samples from patients for experiments. We confirmed the co-localization of PKM2 and CD44, a popular marker for cancer stem cells in lung cancer tissue samples from patients. The expression of PKM2 was clearly observed in approximately 80% of the A549 human lung cancer cells. Remarkably, enhanced expression of PKM2 was specially observed in these cells that also positively expressed CD44. Downregulation of PKM2 in CD44+ cancer stem cells by siRNA significantly impaired the potency for spheroid formation, decreased the cell survival under fetal bovine serum deprivation and hypoxic conditions, but increased their sensitivity to anti-cancer drug of cisplatin and γ-ray. The enhanced expression of PKM2 seems to associate with the biological properties of cancer stem cells from A549 human lung cancer cells. Selective targeting of PKM2 may provide a new strategy for cancer therapy, especially for patients with therapeutic resistance.

Abstract
Radiotherapy is one of the major treatment modalities for the management of various cancers, however, it is limited by the severe side effects and complications experienced by some patients. Nicaraven, a chemically synthesized hydroxyl radical-specific scavenger, has been shown to protect normal tissues from radiation-induced injury. We investigated the role of nicaraven in cancer cells and tumor growth. While nicaraven did not significantly change the colony-forming abilities and DNA damage levels in several cancer cell lines after irradiation, it significantly protected mouse bone marrow-derived hematopoietic stem cells from radiation injury. In established mouse tumor models in which radiation exposure significantly inhibited the growth of tumors, nicaraven did not significantly mitigate the radiation-induced inhibition of tumor growth. The results of this study showed that while nicaraven attenuated the toxicity of radiotherapy in hematopoietic stem cells, it had very limited effects on the survival of cancer cells and tumor growth. Nicaraven may be an ideal drug for mitigating the side effects of radiotherapy in patients with cancer.

Abstract
We previously described the development of a highly-invasive, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) variant using serial orthotopic implantation of MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer in nude mice. The isolated variant is highly invasive in the mammary gland and metastasized to lymph nodes in 10 of 12 mice compared with 2 of 12 of the parental cell line. OBP-401 is a telomerase-dependent cancer-specific, green fluorescent protein (GFP)-expressing adenovirus. OBP-401 was used to infect parental MDA-MB-231P cells and high-metastatic MDA-MB-231H and MDA-MB-231HLN isolated from a lymph node metastasis and MDA-MB-231HLM isolated from a lung metastasis. Time-course imaging showed that OBP-401 labeled MDA-MB-231HP, MDA-MB-231HLN, and MDA-MB-231HLM cells more brightly than MDA-MB-231 parental cells. OBP-401 killed MDA-MB-231H, MDA-MB-231HLN, and MDA-MB-231HLM cells more efficiently than MDA-MB-231P parental cells. These results indicate that OBP-401 could infect, label and then kill high-metastatic MDA-MB-231 more efficiently than low-metastatic MDA-MB-231.

Abstract
We evaluated the dose-dependency and reversibility of radiation-induced injury in cardiac explant-derived cells (CDCs), a mixed cell population grown from heart tissues. Adult C57BL/6 mice were exposed to 0, 10, 50 and 250 mGy γ-rays for 7 days and atrial tissues were collected for experiments 24 hours after last exposure. The number of CDCs was significantly decreased by daily exposure to over 250 mGy. Interestingly, daily exposure to over 50 mGy significantly decreased the c-kit expression and telomerase activity, increased 53BP1 foci in the nuclei of CDCs. However, CD90 expression and growth factors production in CDCs were not significantly changed even after daily exposure to 250 mGy. We further evaluated the reversibility of radiation-induced injury in CDCs at 1 week and 3 weeks after a single exposure to 3 Gy γ-rays. The number and growth factors production of CDCs were soon recovered at 1 week. However, the increased expression of CD90 were retained at 1 week, but recovered at 3 weeks. Moreover, the decreased expression of c-kit, impaired telomerase activity, and increased 53BP1 foci were poorly recovered even at 3 weeks. These data may help us to find the most sensitive and reliable bio-parameter(s) for evaluating radiation-induced injury in CDCs.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies have suggested that ionizing radiation increases cardiovascular disease risk, but the relevant mechanism is poorly understood. We recently demonstrated that adult mice exposed to whole-body irradiation with 3 Gy gamma rays significantly decreases the number and quality of cardiac stem cells. To further determine if radiation impairs myocardial regenerative potency, a myocardial infarction model was established in adult C57BL/6 mice by ligating the left anterior descending artery approximately 6 h after sham- or whole-body gamma irradiation (0 or 3 Gy). To evaluate the regenerative potency of the infarcted heart, we measured the myocardial perfusion and remodeling by 18F-FDG PET/CT and 99mTc-tetrofosmin SPECT/CT at 1-2 days (baseline) and 14-15 days (end point) after infarction, respectively. Mice were sacrificed at day 15 after infarction, and heart tissue was collected for histological analysis. The infarct area of the left ventricle was significantly larger in irradiated mice than healthy controls 14 days after infarction, although it was similar between the groups at the baseline. However, histological analysis showed that the infarct size and left ventricle wall thickness were not significantly different among the groups. Compared to the healthy controls, irradiated mice had significantly less c-kit-positive stem cells, less Sca-1-positive stem cells, less proliferating cells, more apoptotic cells and lower vessel density within the infarcted heart. The results of this study suggest that whole-body irradiation with 3 Gy gamma rays impairs the endogenous regeneration of infarcted heart, which may indirectly predict future cardiovascular disease risk.

Abstract
Cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs), one of the promising stem cell sources for myocardial repair, have been tested in clinical trials and resulted in beneficial effects; however, the relevant mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, we examined the hypothesis that CDCs favor heart repair by switching the macrophages from a pro-inflammatory phenotype (M1) into a regulatory anti-inflammatory phenotype (M2). Macrophages from mice were cultured with CDCs-conditioned medium or with fibroblasts-conditioned medium as a control. Immunostaining showed that CDCs-conditioned medium significantly enhanced the expression of CD206 (a marker for M2 macrophages), but decreased the expression of CD86 (a marker for M1 macrophages) 3 days after culture. For animal studies, we used an acute myocardial infarction model of mice. We injected CDCs, fibroblasts, or saline only into the border zone of infarction. Then we collected the heart tissues for histological analysis 5 and 14 days after treatment. Compared with control animals, CDCs treatment significantly decreased M1 macrophages and neutrophils but increased M2 macrophages in the infarcted heart. Furthermore, CDCs-treated mice had reduced infarct size and fewer apoptotic cells compared to the controls. Our data suggest that CDCs facilitate heart repair by modulating M1/M2 macrophage polarization and neutrophil recruitment, which may provide a new insight into the mechanisms of stem cell-based myocardial repair.

Abstract
Radiation exposure may increase cardiovascular disease risks; however, the precise molecular/cellular mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, we examined the hypothesis that radiation impairs cardiac stem cells (CSCs), thereby contributing to future cardiovascular disease risks. Adult C57BL/6 mice were exposed to 3 Gy γ-rays, and heart tissues were collected 24 hours later for further experiments. Although c-kit-positive cells were rarely found, radiation exposure significantly induced apoptosis and DNA damage in the cells of the heart. The ex vivo expansion of CSCs from freshly harvested atrial tissues showed a significantly lower production of CSCs in irradiated mice compared with healthy mice. The proliferative activity of CSCs evaluated by Ki-67 expression was not significantly different between the groups. However, compared to the healthy control, CSCs expanded from irradiated mice showed significantly lower telomerase activity, more 53BP1 foci in the nuclei, lower expression of c-kit and higher expression of CD90. Furthermore, CSCs expanded from irradiated mice had significantly poorer potency in the production of insulin-like growth factor-1. Our data suggest that radiation exposure significantly decreases the quantity and quality of CSCs, which may serve as sensitive bio-parameters for predicting future cardiovascular disease risks.

Abstract
Postnatally, scars occur as a consequence of cutaneous wound healing. Scarless wound healing is highly desired for patients who have undergone surgery or trauma, especially to exposed areas. Based on the properties of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for tissue repair and immunomodulation, we investigated the potential of MSCs for scarless wound healing. MSCs were expanded from umbilical cord blood (UCB-MSCs) and Wharton’s jelly (WJ-MSCs) from healthy donors who underwent elective full-term pregnancy caesarean sections. UCB-MSCs expressed lower levels of the pre-inflammatory cytokines IL1A and IL1B, but higher levels of the extracellular matrix (ECM)-degradation enzymes MMP1 and PLAU compared with WJ-MSCs, suggesting that UCB-MSCs were more likely to favor scarless wound healing. However, we failed to find significant benefits for stem cell therapy in improving wound healing and reducing collagen deposition following the direct injection of 1.0 × 105 UCB-MSCs and WJ-MSCs into 5 mm full-thickness skin defect sites in nude mice. Interestingly, the implantation of UCB-MSCs tended to increase the expression of MMP2 and PLAU, two proteases involved in degradation of the extracellular matrix in the wound tissues. Based on our data, UCB-MSCs are more likely to be a favorable potential stem cell source for scarless wound healing, although a better experimental model is required for confirmation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is known as one of the most malignant potential diseases with poor neovascularization. By comparing PDAC to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which is well vascularized, we investigated the mechanisms and tumor biological significance of the poor neovascularization in PDAC. METHODS Surgical specimens from primary PDAC and HCC patients were immunohistologically stained to detect the expressions of CD105, CD44, HIF-1α, PHD3, and Siah2. We also used two PDAC and two HCC cell lines to compare the expressions of HIF-1α, PHD3, and CD44, as well as the production of VEGF in hypoxic condition. The role of PHD3 in regulating HIF-1α expression was further confirmed by siRNA knockdown in a PDAC cell line that highly expressed PHD3. RESULTS There were significantly fewer microvessels but more cancer stem cells in PDAC specimens compared to HCC specimens. The expression of CD105 was reversely related to the expression of CD44 in PDAC and HCC specimens. PDAC specimens also showed higher expressions of PHD3 but lower expressions of HIF-1α. Similarly, the expression of PHD3 was observed clearly in PDAC cell lines, but was almost completely negative in HCC cell lines. Hypoxic stimulation clearly enhanced HIF-1α expression and VEGF secretion in both HCC cell lines, but did not significantly change in PDAC cell lines. The knockdown of PHD3 in PDAC cells restored the hypoxic-induced HIF-1α expression, which accordingly stimulated the cells' VEGF secretion. CONCLUSIONS The enhanced expression of PHD3 might likely contribute to the poor neovascularization and affect the biological characterization in PDAC cancer cells.

Abstract
Postmenopausal disorders are frequently observed in various organs, but their relationship with estrogen deficiency and mechanisms remain unclear. As tissue-specific stem cells have been found to express estrogen receptors, we examined the hypothesis that estrogen deficiency impairs stem cells, which consequently contributes to postmenopausal disorders. Six-week-old C57BL/6 female mice were ovariectomized, following which they received 17β-estradiol replacement or vehicle (control). Sham-operated mice were used as healthy controls. All mice were killed for evaluation 2 months after treatments. Compared with the healthy control, ovariectomy significantly decreased uterine weight, which was partially recovered by 17β-estradiol replacement. Ovariectomy significantly increased the numbers of c-kit-positive hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells in bone marrow, but impaired their capacity to grow mixed cell-type colonies in vitro. Estrogen replacement further increased the numbers of c-kit-positive hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells in bone marrow, without significantly affecting colony growth in vitro. The number of CD105-positive mesenchymal stem cells in bone marrow also significantly decreased after ovariectomy, but completely recovered following estrogen replacement. Otherwise, neither ovariectomy nor estrogen replacement changed the number of Pax7-positive satellite cells, which are a skeletal muscle-type stem cell. Estrogen deficiency heterogeneously affected tissue-specific stem cells, suggesting a likely and direct relationship with postmenopausal disorders.

Abstract
Exposure to high levels of genotoxic stress, such as high-dose ionizing radiation, increases both cancer and noncancer risks. However, it remains debatable whether low-dose ionizing radiation reduces cellular function, or rather induces hormetic health benefits. Here, we investigated the effects of total-body γ-ray radiation on muscle stem cells, called satellite cells. Adult C57BL/6 mice were exposed to γ-radiation at low- to high-dose rates (low, 2 or 10 mGy/day; moderate, 50 mGy/day; high, 250 mGy/day) for 30 days. No hormetic responses in proliferation, differentiation, or self-renewal of satellite cells were observed in low-dose radiation-exposed mice at the acute phase. However, at the chronic phase, population expansion of satellite cell-derived progeny was slightly decreased in mice exposed to low-dose radiation. Taken together, low-dose ionizing irradiation may suppress satellite cell function, rather than induce hormetic health benefits, in skeletal muscle in adult mice.

Abstract
Satellite cells are resident skeletal muscle stem cells that supply myonuclei for homeostasis, hypertrophy, and repair in adult muscle. Scrib is one of the major cell-polarity proteins, acting as a potent tumor suppressor in epithelial cells. Here, we show that Scrib also controls satellite-cell-fate decisions in adult mice. Scrib is undetectable in quiescent cells but becomes expressed during activation. Scrib is asymmetrically distributed in dividing daughter cells, with robust accumulation in cells committed to myogenic differentiation. Low Scrib expression is associated with the proliferative state and preventing self-renewal, whereas high Scrib levels reduce satellite cell proliferation. Satellite-cell-specific knockout of Scrib in mice causes a drastic and insurmountable defect in muscle regeneration. Thus, Scrib is a regulator of tissue stem cells, controlling population expansion and self-renewal with Scrib expression dynamics directing satellite cell fate.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of BMS-986001 as a single oral dose in healthy male subjects. Sixty-four healthy male subjects were randomized to receive a single dose of BMS-986001 or placebo in this single-blind, placebo-controlled, sequential ascending-dose study. There were eight treatment groups (10, 30, 100, 300, 600, and 900 mg fed; and 100 and 300 mg fasted) of eight subjects each (BMS-986001 n = 6/placebo n = 2). BMS-986001 was well tolerated, with no serious adverse events (AEs), deaths, or discontinuations due to AEs reported. AEs were experienced by 14.6% of subjects receiving BMS-986001; however, these did not appear to be dose related and were not considered to be related to study drug. BMS-986001 was rapidly absorbed and exhibited a linear dose-exposure relationship across the dose range studied. PK appeared similar whether administered with or without food. Administration of BMS-986001 as a single dose was generally safe and well tolerated. A linear dose-exposure relationship was seen across all doses studied, with no apparent food effect. Further clinical development is warranted.

Abstract
Nicaraven, a chemically synthesized hydroxyl radical-specific scavenger, has been demonstrated to protect against ischemia-reperfusion injury in various organs. We investigated whether nicaraven can attenuate radiation-induced injury in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, which is the conmen complication of radiotherapy and one of the major causes of death in sub-acute phase after accidental exposure to high dose radiation. C57BL/6 mice were exposed to 1 Gy γ-ray radiation daily for 5 days in succession (a total of 5 Gy), and given nicaraven or a placebo after each exposure. The mice were sacrificed 2 days after the last radiation treatment, and the protective effects and relevant mechanisms of nicaraven in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells with radiation-induced damage were investigated by ex vivo examination. We found that post-radiation administration of nicaraven significantly increased the number, improved the colony-forming capacity, and decreased the DNA damage of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. The urinary levels of 8-oxo-2′-deoxyguanosine, a marker of DNA oxidation, were significantly lower in mice that were given nicaraven compared with those that received a placebo treatment, although the levels of intracellular and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species in the bone marrow cells did not differ significantly between the two groups. Interestingly, compared with the placebo treatment, the administration of nicaraven significantly decreased the levels of the inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α in the plasma of mice. Our data suggest that nicaraven effectively diminished the effects of radiation-induced injury in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, which is likely associated with the anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties of this compound.

Abstract
Placental extracts have been reported to have anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities. Because there is increasing evidence that ionizing radiation induces the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory cytokines, we examined the protective effects of a placental extract against radiation injury. C57BL/6 mice were exposed to 1 Gy of γ-ray radiation every day for 5 days, and placental extract (1 mg/day) was administrated orally soon after each exposure. At 2 days after the last irradiation, mice were euthanized to examine the numbers, colony-forming capacity, and DNA damage of stem/progenitor cells in the peripheral blood and bone marrow. To understand the related mechanisms, we also measured the levels of intracellular and mitochondrial ROS, and 8-OHdG in the plasma and urine, and IL-6 and TNF-α in the plasma. Compared with the placebo treatment, oral administration of placental extract significantly increased the number and colony-forming capacity, but decreased the DNA damage of bone marrow stem/progenitor cells. However, neither the levels of intracellular and mitochondrial ROS in bone marrow cells, nor the levels of 8-OHdG in the urine and plasma significantly differed between groups. Interestingly, in comparison with the placebo treatment, placental extract significantly decreased the levels of the inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α in the plasma. Placental extract significantly attenuated the acute radiation injury to bone marrow-derived stem/progenitor cells, and this protection is likely to be related to the anti-inflammatory activity of the placental extract.

Abstract
Background Pirfenidone is a novel anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory agent that inhibits the progression of fibrosis in animal models and in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We previously showed that pirfenidone inhibits the over-expression of collagen type I and of heat shock protein (HSP) 47, a collagen-specific molecular chaperone, in human lung fibroblasts stimulated with transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 in vitro. The increased numbers of HSP47-positive type II pneumocytes as well as fibroblasts were also diminished by pirfenidone in an animal model of pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin. The present study evaluates the effects of pirfenidone on collagen type I and HSP47 expression in the human alveolar epithelial cell line, A549 cells in vitro. Methods The expression of collagen type I, HSP47 and E-cadherin mRNAs in A549 cells stimulated with TGF-β1 was evaluated by Northern blotting or real-time PCR. The expression of collagen type I, HSP47 and fibronectin proteins was assessed by immunocytochemical staining. Results TGF-β1 stimulated collagen type I and HSP47 mRNA and protein expression in A549 cells, and pirfenidone significantly inhibited this process. Pirfenidone also inhibited over-expression of the fibroblast phenotypic marker fibronectin in A549 cells induced by TGF-β1. Conclusion We concluded that the anti-fibrotic effects of pirfenidone might be mediated not only through the direct inhibition of collagen type I expression but also through the inhibition of HSP47 expression in alveolar epithelial cells, which results in reduced collagen synthesis in lung fibrosis. Furthermore, pirfenidone might partially inhibit the epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

Abstract
Several recent studies have suggested that the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated from mitochondria contribute to genomic instability after exposure of the cells to ionizing radiation, but the mechanism of this process is not yet fully understood. We examined the hypothesis that irradiation induces mitochondrial dysfunction to cause persistent oxidative stress, which contributes to genomic instability. After the exposure of cells to 5 Gy gamma-ray irradiation, we found that the irradiation induced the following changes in a clear pattern of time courses. First, a robust increase of intracellular ROS levels occurred within minutes, but the intracellular ROS disappeared within 30 min. Then the mitochondrial dysfunction was detected at 12 h after irradiation, as indicated by the decreased activity of NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I), the most important enzyme in regulating the release of ROS from the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC). Finally, a significant increase of ROS levels in the mitochondria and the oxidation of mitochondrial DNA were observed in cells at 24 h or later after irradiation. Although further experiments are required, results in this study support the hypothesis that mitochondrial dysfunction causes persistent oxidative stress that may contribute to promote radiation-induced genomic instability.
