Abstract
Because adenomyosis (AM) ectopic primary cells are hard to come by, have a short lifespan, and the characteristics that alter over time, their utility in AM research is constrained. This study aimed to establish a line of immortalized human adenomyosis ectopic cell (ihAMEC) to change this situation. Primary cells were obtained from AM ectopic lesion tissue and then infected with Simian Vacuolating Virus 40 Tag (SV40 T) lentivirus and screened to establish immortalized cells. We verified the main features and found that the ihAMEC could be cultured for more than 50 generations and the proliferation ability of ihAMEC was more active than that of primary cells. The cytoskeleton and cell types of ihAMEC were similar to primary cells and maintained a normal karyotype. The expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers, estrogen-metabolizing proteins, and estrogen/progesterone receptors in ihAMEC was similar to the expression seen in primary cells. In addition, the response of ihAMEC under estrogen treatment and Lipopolysaccharide intervention is similar to primary cells. The clonogenic ability of ihAMEC was lower than tumor cells and did not form tumors in tumorigenicity assays. Thus, ihAMEC can be used as in vitro cellular model for pathogenesis and drug development studies regarding AM.

Abstract
Common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is a well-known cetacean species that inhabits temperate and tropical seas worldwide. Limited supply and poor quality of samples hinder the investigation of the effects of various pathogens and environmental pollutants on this cetacean species. Cultured cells are useful for experimental studies; however, no cell lines derived from cetaceans are generally available. Therefore, in this study, we established a novel kidney cell line, TK-ST, derived from T. truncatus. Primary cells exhibited the morphological characteristics of epithelial and fibroblast cells, but their immortalization and passaging resulted in a predominantly epithelial cell morphology. TK-ST was immortalized using the large T SV40 antigen and human telomerase reverse transcriptase and exhibited long-term stable cell growth. TK-ST cells are generally cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium with 10% fetal bovine serum at 37°C and 5% CO2 but can also be cultured in 5-20% fetal bovine serum and several other classical media commonly used for common animal cell culture. TK-ST cells were found to be susceptible to several viruses, including the dolphin morbillivirus (most important virus in cetaceans), and exhibited cytopathic effects, facilitating the replication of the dolphin morbillivirus. Furthermore, mRNA expression levels of cytokine genes were increased in TK-ST cells after stimulation with lipopolysaccharides and poly(I:C). Therefore, the novel TK-ST cell line derived in this study can potentially be used for further in vitro studies on cetaceans.

Abstract
There is an urgent need for the development of brain drug delivery carriers based on middle-sized or macromolecules, to which in vitro blood-brain barrier (BBB) models are expected to contribute significantly through evaluation of BBB permeability. As part of efforts to develop such models, we have been working on human conditionally immortalized cell-based multicellular spheroidal BBB models (hiMCS-BBB models), and we herein introduce the model development protocol. Briefly, astrocytes are first seeded in an ultra-low attachment 3D cell culture plate, to make the central core (Day 0). Next, pericytes are added over the core, to form an outer layer (Day 1). Then, brain microvascular endothelial cells are further added to each well, to create the outmost monolayer serving as the BBB (Day 2). Finally, the spheroids cultured for two days (on Day 4) can be used for assays of interest (e.g., antibody permeability assays). Neither special equipment nor techniques are required to produce hiMCS-BBB models. Therefore, the protocol presented here will not only facilitate the model sharing among the BBB community but also provide some technical clues contributing to the development of similar MCS-BBB models using other cell sources, such as primary or iPS-derived BBB cells.

Abstract
PURPOSE In vitro human blood-brain barrier (BBB) models in combination with central nervous system-physiologically based pharmacokinetic (CNS-PBPK) modeling, hereafter referred to as the "BBB/PBPK" method, are expected to contribute to prediction of brain drug concentration profiles in humans. As part of our ongoing effort to develop a BBB/PBPK method, we tried to clarify the relationship of in vivo BBB permeability data to those in vitro obtained from a human immortalized cell-based tri-culture BBB model (hiBBB), which we have recently created. METHODS The hiBBB models were developed and functionally characterized as previously described. The in vitro BBB permeabilities (Pe, × 10-6 cm/s) of seventeen compounds were determined by permeability assays, and in vivo BBB permeabilities (QECF) for eight drugs were estimated by CNS-PBPK modeling. The correlation of the Pe values with the QECF values was analyzed by linear regression analysis. RESULTS The hiBBB models showed intercellular barrier properties and several BBB transporter functions, which were enough to provide a wide dynamic range of Pe values from 5.7 ± 0.7 (rhodamine 123) to 2580.4 ± 781.9 (rivastigmine). Furthermore, the in vitro Pe values of the eight drugs showed a good correlation (R2 = 0.96) with their in vivo QECF values estimated from human clinical data. CONCLUSION We show that in vitro human BBB models provide clinically relevant BBB permeability that can be used as input for CNS-PBPK modeling. Therefore, our findings will encourage the development of a BBB/PBPK method as a promising approach for predicting brain drug concentration profiles in humans.

Abstract
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is an inherited metabolic disease characterized by inflammatory demyelination, and activated astrocytes as well as microglia are thought to be involved in its pathogenesis. Conditionally immortalized astrocytic cell clones were prepared from wild-type or Abcd1-deficient H-2KbtsA58 transgenic mice to study the involvement of astrocytes in the pathogenesis of X-ALD. The established astrocyte clones expressed astrocyte-specific molecules such as Vimentin, S100β, Aldh1L1 and Glast. The conditionally immortalized astrocytes proliferated vigorously and exhibited a compact cell body under a permissive condition at 33 °C in the presence of IFN-γ, whereas they became quiescent and exhibited substantial cell enlargement under a non-permissive condition at 37 °C in the absence of IFN-γ. An Abcd1-deficient astrocyte clone exhibited a decrease in the β-oxidation of very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) and an increase in cellular levels of VLCFA, typical features of Abcd1-deficiency. Upon stimulation with LPS, the Abcd1-deficient astrocyte clone expressed higher levels of pro-inflammatory genes, such as Il6, Nos2, Ccl2 and Cxcl10, compared to wild-type (WT) astrocytes. Furthermore, the Abcd1-deficient astrocytes produced higher amounts of chondroitin sulfate, a marker of reactive astrocytes. These results suggest that dysfunction of Abcd1 renders astrocytes highly responsive to innate immune stimuli. Conditionally immortalized cell clones which preserve astrocyte properties are a useful tool for analyzing the cellular and molecular pathology of ALD.

Abstract
The maintenance of stem cells often requires the support of feeder cells. Primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) have traditionally been used as feeder cells, and although these MEF-derived feeder cells have exhibited a reasonable performance, they require repeated cell isolation, since MEFs cannot expand indefinitely. To overcome this limitation, immortalized cells, such as STO cells, have been used. However, one major disadvantage is that previously reported immortalized cells can only support stem cell cultures for a relatively short period, typically 4 to 7 days. In this study, we found that our newly established rat-derived fibroblasts immortalized by the expression of mutant cyclin-dependent kinase 4, cyclin D, and telomerase reverse transcriptase, can function as feeder cells for relatively long cell culture periods of approximately 14 days. The rat-derived immortalized cells developed in this study should be a useful source of feeder cells to support stem cell research.
