We obtained and bred Mmp2-/- mice from the same source as the previous study, and performed genotyping using genomic DNA extracted from finger snips. The mandibular condyle of Mmp2-/- mice and wild-type (WT) mice was immunohistochemically examined for the localization of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins (type I and II collagen, and aggrecan), and MMP-9 and MMP-13. No cartilage destruction was observed in the mandibular condyle of Mmp2-/- mice, and no difference was found in the localization of the ECM proteins between the Mmp2-/- mice and WT mice. However, the bone marrow cavity in the subchondral bone of the mandibular condyle was more distinct in Mmp2-/- mice than in WT mice at the age of 50 weeks. Of note, MMP-9 characteristically localized in multinucleated cells in the mandibular condyle in 50-week-old Mmp2-/- mice. MMP-2 may be involved in the regulation of osteoclast differentiation and the formation of the bone marrow cavity in aged mice.","PeriodicalId":9138,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Research-tokyo","volume":"44 2","pages":"65-72"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9241031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Being able to smell fat can be advantageous in judging food value. However, fat has poor volatility; thus, olfaction of fat seems impossible. What about fatty acids that comprise fat? Humans smell and discriminate medium-chain fatty acids. However, no conclusive evidence has been provided for the olfactory sense of long-chain fatty acids, including essential acids such as linoleic acid (LA). Instead, humans likely perceive the presence of essential fatty acids through the olfaction of volatile compounds generated by their oxidative breakdown (e.g., hexanal and γ-decalactone). For some people, such scents are pleasing, especially when they come from fruit. Nonetheless, it remains unclear whether the olfaction of these volatiles leads to the recognition of fat per se. Nowadays, people often smell LA-borne aldehydes such as E,E-2,4-decadienal that occur appreciably, for example, from edible oils during deep frying, and are pronely captivated by their characteristic \"fatty\" note, which can be considered a \"pseudo-perception\" of fat. However, our preference for such LA-borne aldehyde odors may be a potential cause behind the modern overdose of n-6 fatty acids. This review aims to provide a view of whether and, if any, how we olfactorily perceive dietary fats and raises future purposes related to human fat olfaction, such as investigating sub-olfactory systems for detecting long-chain fatty acids.","PeriodicalId":9138,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Research-tokyo","volume":"44 4","pages":"127-146"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9943308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experiments were performed in brainstem-spinal cord preparation from newborn rats (age: 0-1 day). Left phrenic nerve and right C4 activities were recorded simultaneously. When GABAA and glycine receptors were blocked by 10 μM bicuculline and 10 μM strychnine (Bic+Str), seizure-like burst activities appeared in the fourth cervical ventral root (C4) but not the phrenic nerve. After making a transverse section at C1, the inspiratory burst activity disappeared from both C4 and the phrenic nerve, whereas seizure-like activity appeared in both nerves. We hypothesized that inhibitory descending pathways other than those via GABAA and/or glycine receptors (from the medulla to the spinal cord) work to avoid disturbance of regular respiratory-related diaphragm contraction by seizure-like activity.

The present study investigated the effects of the TAAR1 agonist, 3-iodothyronamine (T1AM) on cerebral arterioles using fluctuations in the intracellular concentration of Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) as an index of contractile responses. In cerebral arterioles, most of the TAAR agonists did not increase [Ca2+]i, while only T1AM elevated [Ca2+]i in vascular smooth muscle cells. This increase involved extracellular Ca2+ influx through T-type Ca2+ channels and inositol trisphosphate- and ryanodine-receptor-mediated Ca2+ release from intracellular stores. The inhibition of the cAMP sensor, exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (Epac) 2, and calmodulin kinase (CaMK) II strongly inhibited Ca2+ elevations. The present study revealed that T1AM acted not only on the TAAR1 receptor as previously suggested, but also on other G-protein coupled receptors and/or signal transduction systems to increase intracellular Ca2+ in cerebral arteriole smooth muscle cells. These results suggest that when using T1AM in clinical practice, attention should be paid to the early rise in blood pressure.","PeriodicalId":9138,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Research-tokyo","volume":"44 5","pages":"219-232"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41153890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we performed whole exome analysis of over 5,000 Japanese cancer cases and investigated the impact of somatic mutations and gene expression alterations on aneuploidy. First, we evaluated tumor content and genomic alterations that could influence aneuploidy. Next, we compared the aneuploidy frequency in 18 cancer types and observed that TP53 mutations were associated with the aneuploidy on specific chromosomes in colorectal and gastric cancers. Finally, we used expression analysis to isolate pathways involved in aneuploidy accumulation from tumors without TP53 mutations. Chromosomal instability and cell cycle aberration were associated with aneuploidy in TP53 wild-type tumors, and 26 commonly upregulated genes were identified in aneuploidy-high solid tumors without TP53 mutations. Among them, two cancer-related genes (CENPA and PBK) were involved in aneuploidy. Our integrated analysis revealed that both TP53 mutations and transcriptomic alterations independent of somatic mutations affect aneuploidy accumulation.
