Abstract
Reactive sulfur species (RSS) play a role in redox homeostasis; however, adaptive cell responses to excessive intracellular RSS are not well understood. Therefore, in this study, we generated transgenic (Tg) mice overexpressing cystathionine gamma-lyase (CSE) to produce excessive RSS. Contrary to expectations, tissue concentrations of RSS, such as cysteine persulfide (CysSSH), were comparable in both wild-type and CSE Tg mice, but the plasma concentrations of CysSSH were significantly higher in CSE Tg mice than in wild-type mice. This export of surplus intracellular RSS was also observed in primary hepatocytes of CSE Tg mice. Exposure of primary hepatocytes to the RSS generator sodium tetrasulfide (Na2S4) resulted in an initial increase in the intracellular concentration of RSS, which later returned to basal levels after export into the extracellular space. Interestingly, among all amino acids, cystine (CysSSCys) was found to be essential for CysSSH export from primary mouse hepatocytes, HepG2 cells, and HEK293 cells during Na2S4 exposure, suggesting that the cystine/glutamate transporter (SLC7A11) contributes, at least partially, to CysSSH export. We established HepG2 cell lines with knockout and overexpression of SLC7A11 and used them to confirm SLC7A11 as the predominant antiporter of CysSSCys and CysSSH. We observed that the poor efflux of excess CysSSH from the cell enhanced cellular stresses induced by Na2S4 exposure, such as polysulfidation of intracellular proteins, mitochondrial damage, and cytotoxicity. These results suggest the presence of a cellular response to excess intracellular RSS that involves the extracellular efflux of excess CysSSH by a cystine-dependent transporter to maintain intracellular redox homeostasis.

Abstract
Baroreflex control of cardiac contraction (positive inotropy) through sympathetic nerve activation is important for cardiocirculatory homeostasis. Transient receptor potential canonical subfamily (TRPC) channels are responsible for α1-adrenoceptor (α1AR)-stimulated cation entry and their upregulation is associated with pathological cardiac remodeling. Whether TRPC channels participate in physiological pump functions remains unclear. We demonstrate that TRPC6-specific Zn2+ influx potentiates β-adrenoceptor (βAR)-stimulated positive inotropy in rodent cardiomyocytes. Deletion of trpc6 impairs sympathetic nerve-activated positive inotropy but not chronotropy in mice. TRPC6-mediated Zn2+ influx boosts α1AR-stimulated βAR/Gs-dependent signaling in rat cardiomyocytes by inhibiting β-arrestin-mediated βAR internalization. Replacing two TRPC6-specific amino acids in the pore region with TRPC3 residues diminishes the α1AR-stimulated Zn2+ influx and positive inotropic response. Pharmacological enhancement of TRPC6-mediated Zn2+ influx prevents chronic heart failure progression in mice. Our data demonstrate that TRPC6-mediated Zn2+ influx with α1AR stimulation enhances baroreflex-induced positive inotropy, which may be a new therapeutic strategy for chronic heart failure.

Abstract
It is now clear that the mast cell's functional response to IgE-dependent stimulation can be influenced significantly by the level of expression of the high-affinity IgE receptor (Fc epsilon RI) on the cell's surface. Thus, modulation of Fc epsilon RI surface expression represents a potentially important mechanism for regulating mast cell activity in allergic reactions. In this study, we examined whether a glucocorticoid, dexamethasone (DEX), can influence levels of mast cell Fc epsilon RI expression either in the presence or absence of IgE, an up-regulator of the mast cell surface Fc epsilon RI level. In the absence of IgE, DEX decreased the surface Fc epsilon RI levels in mouse peritoneal mast cells, mouse bone marrow-derived cultured mast cells and a mouse mast cell line, Cl.MC/C57.1. Moreover, DEX also partially suppressed the ability of IgE to enhance surface expression of Fc epsilon RI in these cells. Three different glucocorticoids, DEX, methylprednisolone and hydrocortisone, suppressed Fc epsilon RI expression in mast cells, whereas sex steroids, i.e. estradiol, progesterone and testosterone, did not, indicating that the Fc epsilon RI-suppressing effect is glucocorticoid specific. On the other hand, DEX did not affect levels of Fc epsilon RI alpha, beta or gamma mRNA, suggesting that its ability to decrease surface Fc epsilon RI reflects a post-transcriptional mechanism. Finally, DEX-treated mast cells showed a reduced degranulation response to antigenic stimulation through down-regulation of surface Fc epsilon RI expression in addition to DEX-induced changes in downstream signals. These results show that mast cell surface Fc epsilon RI expression is suppressed by glucocorticoids in both the presence and absence of IgE, and suggest that reduction of mast cell surface Fc epsilon RI levels may be one of the favorable anti-allergic actions of glucocorticoids.

Abstract
Genetic polyymorphisms that result in three amino acid changes in FcepsilonRI beta chain (Ile(181)-->Leu, Val(183)-->Leu, and Glu(237)-->Gly) have been identified as candidates that associate with allergic disorders such as atopy and asthma. To elucidate the biological significance of these polymorphisms in regulating the expression and function of FcepsilonRI, we generated four types of transfectants that express wild-type or mutant mouse beta chains corresponding to these human variants by retrovirus-mediated gene transfer into beta chain-deficient mouse-derived mast cells. No significant functional differences between the wild-type beta chain transfectant and any of the mutant beta chain transfectants were observed in beta-hexosaminidase release, intracellular calcium mobilization, or cytokine and leukotriene C(4) production in response to FcepsilonRI crosslinking. Our results suggest that these polymorphisms in FcepsilonRI beta chain do not affect FcepsilonRI-mediated mast cell activation at least in our mouse in vitro system.

Abstract
The high-affinity IgE receptor (Fc epsilonRI) and the low-affinity IgG receptor (Fc gammaRIII) on mast cells are the key molecules involved in triggering the allergic reaction. These receptors share the common beta subunit (FcRbeta) which contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif and transduces the signals of these receptors' aggregation. In rodents, FcRbeta is essential for the cell surface expression of the Fc epsilonRI. In humans, the FcRbeta gene was reported to be one of the candidate genes causing atopic diseases. However, the role of FcRbeta in vivo still remains ambiguous. To elucidate the functions of FcRbeta, we developed the mice lacking FcRbeta [FcRbeta(-/-)]. The FcRbeta(-/-) mice lacked the expression of the Fc epsilonRI on mast cells and IgE-mediated passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) was not induced in FcRbeta(-/-) mice as was expected. In these mice, the expression of IgG receptors on mast cells was augmented but the IgG-mediated PCA reaction was attenuated. Although with bone marrow-derived cultured mast cells from FcRbeta(-/-), adhesion to fibronectin and Ca2+ flux upon aggregation of IgG receptors were enhanced, mast cells co-cultured with 3T3 fibroblasts exhibited impaired degranulation on receptor aggregation. These observations indicate that FcRbeta accelerates the degranulation of mature mast cells via the IgG receptor in connective tissues.

Abstract
Fluorescein fundus angiography was performed at angle of 20 degrees in the 58 low tension glaucoma (LTG) eyes (30 cases) and 77 primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) eyes (41 cases) and the relation of the optic nerve head fluorescein changes to visual field disturbances (stage classification of Kosaki) was compared between POAG and LTG groups. The filling defect of fluorescein in the deep area and the decrease in number of superficial capillaries were observed in the optic nerve head. The filling defect area of fluorescein in the optic nerve head corresponding to Bjerrum scotoma was recognized even in the mild visual field disturbance cases of both LTG and POAG. The following findings were noted in both LTG and POAG cases; expansion of the filling defect area and the decrease in number of superficial capillaries in the same area with progression of visual field disturbances. Filling defect area of fluorescein of the optic nerve head accorded with visual field disturbance area in 19 LTG eyes (32.8%) and 61 POAG eyes (79.2%). On the contrary, the filling defect area of the optic nerve head was wider than the visual disturbance area in 37 LTG eyes (63.8%) and 16 POAG eyes (20.8%). These findings suggest that blood circulatory disorders of the optic nerve head occurred earlier in LTG than in POAG and that the development of LTG might be closely associated with the blood circulatory disorders.
