Abstract
High morbidity and mortality of cancer, especially colorectal cancer (CRC), in diabetic patients have been reported. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the presence of diabetes mellitus (blood hemoglobin A1C was 6.5% or higher at the time of diagnosis of CRC) and the progression and liver metastasis of CRC. Histopathological findings in the primary lesions, which were preferential to diabetes-complicated CRC (DM-CRC) and the liver metastasis, were also investigated. Of the 473 CRC patients who underwent curative surgical resection, 148 (31%) had diabetes. In DM-CRC cases, the stage was more advanced, with more cases in stage IV or postoperative disease recurrence. Histopathological findings correlated with liver metastasis in DM-CRC, including budding grade, perineural invasion, and myxomatous tumor stroma, and all were highly correlated with the stage. Additionally, myxomatous stroma showed the strongest correlation with liver metastasis in multivariate analysis. Myxomatous stroma in stage III cases correlated with liver recurrence. The myxomatous stroma was abundant in biglycan protein and contained numerous CD90-positive mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In human colon cancer cell line HT29, biglycan expression was induced by high sugar concentration, fatty acids, and insulin, and its contact co-culture with MSCs resulted in enhanced stemness and epithelial-mesenchymal transition phenotype. Thus, DM-CRC has higher malignant phenotypes compared to non-DM-CRC, and the involvement of diabetes-induced biglycan may act as a pathogenic factor.

Abstract
Background:PD-1hi CXCR5- T peripheral helper (Tph) cells are newly identified pathogenic CD4+ helper T cells in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Since Tph cells have been emerged quite recently, the characteristics of Tph cells as a biomarker of RA are not fully understood.Objectives:The aim of the study is to evaluate how useful Tph cells in peripheral bloods are when compared to other immune cell subsets, and to clarify which Tph subset most accurately reflects the disease activity of RA.Methods:The RA patients who visited our rheumatology department between January 2000 and February 2017, and met the 2010 ACR/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) classification criteria were included. We first assessed correlation with 40 immune cell subsets and the disease activity of RA. Next, the proportions of these immune cells were compared between RA and healthy controls (HCs). We also investigated the immune cell subsets which reflected the time course change of the disease activity after the methotrexate (MTX) treatment. The study protocol was approved by the ethics committee at Keio University School of Medicine.Results:Thirty-four seropositive RA, 12 seronegative RA and 34 HCs were included. The Immune cell subsets which showed correlation with DAS28-ESR (r> 0.2 or r> -0.2) were activated CD4 T cells (r= 0.31), HLA-DR+Th1 cells (r= 0.20), HLA-DR+Th1-17 cells (r= 0.25), Tfh1-17 cells (r= -0.25), HLA-DR+Tph cells (r= 0.22), CD3+CD8+naïve T cells (r= -0.25), CD3+CD8+effector memory T cells (r= -0.26), plasma cells (r= 0.40) and CD14++CD16+intermediate monocyte (r= 0.23). The proportions of HLA-DR+Th1 cells (2.3% vs. 5.7%), HLA-DR+Th1-17 cells (0.7% vs. 2.2%), Tfh1-17 cells (1.7% vs. 2.0%), HLA-DR+Tph cells (0.02% vs. 0.1%), CD3+CD8+effector memory T cells (16.6% vs 25.7%), plasma cells (0.04% vs. 0.17%) were statistically higher in the patients with RA compared to HCs. While the proportion of Tph cells showed weak correlation with DAS28-ESR (r= 0.18), that was extremely higher in RA (0.08% vs. 0.25%). Interestingly, when assessing the correlations with the disease activity in seropositive and seronegative RA separately, the proportions of Tph cells (r= 0.52) and HLA-DR+Tph cells (r= 0.50) were highly reflected in seropositive RA, but not in seronegative RA. Regarding the disease activity after the MTX treatment, the change of proportion of Tph cells between week 0 and 52 significantly reflected the change of DAS28-ESR (r= 0.75, p= 0.025), but not HLA-DR+Tph cells because of the non-specific reduction by the MTX treatment. Rather, HLA-DR-Tph cells significantly reflected the change of DAS28-ESR while receiving the MTX treatment (r= 0.76, p= 0.021).Conclusion:Tph cells and HLA-DR+Tph cells highly reflected the disease activity of seropositive RA. However, after the treatment, the proportion of HLA-DR+Tph cells decreased independent from the disease activity, and that of HLA-DR-Tph cells more accurately reflected the change of the disease activity during the treatment.References:[1]Rao DA, et al.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are administered commonly to aged people; however, their effect on colorectal cancer (CRC) has still not been fully elucidated. Here, we examined the effect of PPIs and consequent alkalization on CRC cells. PPI administration alkalized the fecal pH and increased serum gastrin concentration. PPI and pH8 treatment (alkalization) of CMT93 mouse colon cancer cells inhibited cell growth and invasion, increased oxidative stress and apoptosis, and decreased mitochondrial volume and protein levels of cyclin D1 and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK) 1/2. In contrast, gastrin treatment enhanced growth and invasion, decreased oxidative stress and apoptosis, and increased mitochondrial volume and cyclin D1 and pERK1/2 levels. Concurrent treatment with a PPI, pH8, and gastrin increased aldehyde dehydrogenase activity and also enhanced liver metastasis in the BALB/c strain of mice. PPI administration was associated with Clostridiumperfringens enterotoxin (CPE) in CRC lesions. CPE treatment activated yes-associated protein (YAP) signals to enhance proliferation and stemness. The orthotopic colon cancer model of CMT93 cells with long-term PPI administration showed enhanced tumor growth and liver metastasis due to gastrin and YAP activation, as indicated by gastrin receptor knockdown and treatment with a YAP inhibitor. These findings suggest that PPI promotes CRC growth and metastasis by increasing gastrin concentration and YAP activation, resulting in gut flora alteration and fecal alkalization. These findings suggest that PPI use in colorectal cancer patients might create a risk of cancer promotion.

Abstract
Sessile serrated adenoma/polyp with dysplasia (SSA/P-D) is an SSA/P with cellular dysplasia and has a higher risk of progressing to colon carcinogenesis. Previously, we reported that tight junction impairment by Clostridiumperfringens enterotoxin (CPE) leads to activation of the transcriptional co-activator yes-associated protein (YAP) in oral squamous cell carcinoma. Here, we investigated whether CPE activates YAP to promote the malignant progression of SSA/P. E-cadherin expression was lower in the 12 cases with SSA/P-D examined than that in normal mucosa, SSA/P, or tubular adenoma (TA). Furthermore, intracellular translocation of claudin-4 (CLDN4) and nuclear translocation of YAP were observed. The CPE gene was detected in DNA extracted from SSA/P-D lesions, but not in SSA/P or TA. Treatment of the rat intestinal epithelial cell line IEC6 with low-dose CPE resulted in intracellular translocation of CLDN4 to the cytoplasmic membrane. Cytoplasmic CLDN4 showed co-precipitation with transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif, zonula occludens (ZO)-1, large tumor suppressor, and mammalian Ste20-like. Additionally, YAP co-precipitated with ZO-2 under CPE treatment led to decreased YAP phosphorylation and nuclear translocation. YAP activation promoted increase in nuclear TEA domain family member level, expression of cyclin D1, snail, vimentin, CD44, NS and decrease in E-cadherin levels, thereby inducing stemness and epithelial-mesenchymal-transition (EMT). The Hippo complex with the incorporation of CLDN4 increased stability. Upon low-dose CPE treatment, HT29 cells with BRAFV600E gene mutation showed increased growth, enhanced invasive potential, stemness, and induced EMT phenotype, whereas HCT116 cells, which carry KRASG13D gene mutation, did not show such changes. In an examination of 10 colorectal cancers, an increase in EMT and stemness was observed in CPE (+) and BRAF mutation (+) cases. These findings suggest that C.perfringens might enhance the malignant transformation of SSA/P-D via YAP activation. Our findings further highlight the importance of controlling intestinal flora using probiotics or antibiotics.

Abstract
Plasma window is a feasible device as an atmosphere-vacuum interface, which can withstand energetic particle beams. It is, however, essential to enlarge the diameter to several tens of millimeters for actual beam passing in the accelerator applications. The pressure separation performance and discharge voltage V current I characteristics should be investigated in detail to design the plasma window for each purpose. Therefore, a cascade arc discharge device with a diameter of up to 20 mm was developed, and its characteristics as a function of diameter were examined. As a result, with an increase in the channel diameter, the discharge pressure that was achieved decreased, whose values were smaller compared with the values by the prediction formula, assuming the viscous gas flow with a constant plasma temperature. It showed that the bulk plasma temperature for the larger discharge channel was low because of the low-current density over the channel. Furthermore, the transition of the V-I slope was observed with an increase in the diameter.

Abstract
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by highly aggressive phenotype, limited treatment options and a poor prognosis. In the present study, we examined the therapeutic effect of anti–claudin (CLDN)‐4 extracellular domain antibody, 4D3, on TNBC. When the expression of CLDN4 and CLDN1 in invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) was examined in 114 IDC (78 cases from 2004 to 2009 in a single center and 36 cases of tissues array), CLDN1 had lower expression than CLDN4 and was correlated with histological grade. In contrast, expression of CLDN4 was correlated with histological grade, receptor subtype, and stage. CLDN4 expression in human IDC cell lines MCF‐7 (luminal subtype) and MDA‐468 (TNBC) was at the same level. In both cells, paclitaxel (PTX)‐induced growth suppression was enhanced by 4D3. Furthermore, 4D3 increased both intracellular PTX concentration (in both cells) and apoptosis. In the mouse model, 4D3 promoted the antitumor effect of PTX on subcutaneous tumors and reduced lung metastasis. The combination of PTX and 4D3 reduced M2 macrophages and mesenchymal stem cells in the tumor. 4D3 also reduced stemness of the tumors and increased the intratumoral pH. Moreover, concurrent treatment with 4D3, PTX and tamoxifen, or with PTX and tamoxifen in MDA‐468 also showed the same level of antitumor activity and survival as MCF‐7. Furthermore, in a bone metastasis model, combination of PTX and bisphosphonate with 4D3 promoted tumor growth in both cells. Thus, CLDN4 targeting of the antibody facilitated existing therapeutic effects.

Abstract
Repeated-dose toxicity (RDT) studies are one of the critical studies to assess chemical safety. There have been some studies attempting to predict RDT endpoints based on chemical substructures, but it remains very difficult to establish such a method, and a more detailed characterization of chemical compounds seems necessary. Cytochrome P450s (P450s) comprise multiple forms with different substrate specificities and play important roles in both the detoxification and metabolic activation of xenobiotics. In this study, we investigated possible use of P450 reactivity of chemical compounds to classify the compounds. A total of 148 compounds with available rat RDT test data were used as test compounds and subjected to inhibition assays against 18 human and rat P450s. Among the tested compounds, 82 compounds inhibited at least one P450 form. Hierarchical clustering analyses using the P450 inhibitory profiles divided the 82 compounds into nine groups, some of which showed characteristic chemical and biological properties. Principal component analyses of the P450 inhibition data in combination with the calculated chemical descriptors demonstrated that P450 inhibition data were plotted differently than most chemical descriptors in the loading plots. Finally, association analyses between P450 inhibition and RDT endpoints showed that some endpoints related to the liver, kidney and hematology were significantly associated with the inhibition of some P450s. Our present results suggest that the P450 reactivity profiles can be used as novel descriptors for characterizing chemical compounds for the investigation of the toxicity mechanism and/or the establishment of a toxicity prediction model.

Abstract
Claudin (CLDN)-4 expression has been associated with malignancy in various cancers. When CLDN4 expression was examined in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), 22 out of 57 (39%) cases showed immunoreactivity in the nucleus. Nuclear CLDN4-positive cases showed a stronger correlation with cancer progression than the negative cases. Intratumoral anaerobic bacterial DNA examination revealed nuclear CLDN4 expression in 81% of Clostridium perfringens-positive cases. Treatment of human oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines HSC3 and HSC4 with Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE), induced CLDN4 nuclear translocation to enhance epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), stemness, cell proliferation and invasive ability. In addition, CPE treatment suppressed phosphorylation of yes-associated protein-1 (YAP1) and promoted YAP1 nuclear translocation, resulting in increased expression of YAP1 target genes; cyclin D1 and connective tissue growth factor. Moreover, it was revealed that the complex of YAP1, CLDN4 and zona occludens-2 (ZO-2) was formed by CPE treatment, further suppressing YAP1 phosphorylation by LATS1 and activating it. Thus YAP activation in OSCC was regarded important in promoting malignant phenotypes. Our research suggested that the control of oral anaerobic bacteria may suppress YAP activation and in turn tumor progression.

Abstract
The cardiac conduction system was examined histologically in 12 canine cases of lymphocytic myocarditis with complete atrioventricular (AV) block. Histological analysis showed active myocarditis characterized by intense infiltration of mononuclear cells, primarily lymphoid, associated with degeneration and necrosis of the adjacent cardiomyocytes. Additionally, there was healing or healed myocarditis manifested by disappearance of cardiomyocytes and replacement fibrosis. This destructive inflammatory process of lymphocytic myocarditis involved the whole of the AV conduction system, resulting in loss and deletion of the conduction fibres, as well as the myocardium of all chambers. Such total or subtotal destruction of the AV conduction system caused by the inflammatory changes was thought to have set the stage for blocking AV conduction of cardiac impulses, but the aetiology of the lymphocytic myocarditis was not elucidated.

Abstract
Cachexia frequently occurs in cancer patients and is correlated with reduced therapeutic responsiveness and poor prognosis. Although skeletal muscle atrophy is an important factor related to cachexia, biomarkers for its early diagnosis are not yet definitive. In this study, weight loss, body mass index, skeletal muscle index (SMI), serum carcinoembryonic antigen, serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, serum interleukin (IL)-6, serum high mobility group box (HMGB)-1, and SDS-soluble myosin light chain 1 (SDS-MYL1) of the psoas muscle were examined in 8 autopsied cases of death from colorectal cancer (CRC) as biomarkers of cachexia. SDS-MYL1 was positively correlated to SMI and TNF-α was negatively correlated, but the other factors did not show any correlations with SMI. Multivariate analysis showed that of the 3 cytokines, TNF-α and HMGB1 were correlated with SMI. Furthermore, when the biochemical skeletal muscle maturation marker, SDS-MYL1, was compared with serum cytokines, TNF-α and HMGB1 were negatively correlated but IL-6 was not. In multivariate analysis, only TNF-α was associated with SDS-MYL1. A positive correlation was found between TNF-α and HMGB1. These findings suggest that since TNF-α was inversely correlated with SMI and SDS-MYL1, TNF-α is a serum marker of skeletal muscle atrophy in CRC. Moreover, SDS-MYL1 might be established as a biomarker linked to clinical sarcopenia in experiments in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
AIM In patients with a previous history of rectal anastomotic leakage (AL), the surgical indications and timing for closure of a diverting stoma have to be carefully judged. Even if AL has apparently healed before stoma closure, re-leakage may occur after closure. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and risk factors for recurrent AL following stoma closure. We also examined the treatment strategies aiming to minimize the risk of recurrent AL. METHODS From January 2009 to December 2016, 1008 patients underwent sphincter-saving surgery [low anterior resection, all-sphincter-preserving rectal resection with hand-sewn coloanal anastomosis (CAA) and intersphincteric resection (ISR)] for primary rectal cancer with curative intent at our hospital. A total of 69 patients with AL with a Clavien-Dindo Grade III or more who subsequently underwent closure of a diverting stoma were retrospectively reviewed for this study. RESULTS The incidence of recurrent leakage after stoma closure in this series was 13% overall with an incidence of 25% in the CAA/ISR group and 5% in the low anterior resection group. Significant risk factors included hand-sewn anastomosis (P = 0.0257) compared to stapled anastomosis, ischaemia at the anastomotic site as the cause of initial AL (P < 0.001) and a shorter interval between confirmation of healing and stoma closure (P = 0.00952). CONCLUSION Ischaemia at the anastomotic site was the main risk factor for recurrent leakage, particularly after CAA/ISR. Additional treatment options before stoma closure should be considered to avoid re-leakage in such cases.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS3) is an intrinsic negative-feedback regulator of signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3) signaling pathway. We have previously shown that myocardial SOCS3 plays an important role in cardiac hypertrophy and survival; however, the role of SOCS3 in smooth muscle cells in cardiovascular pathophysiology remains elusive. In this study, we determined whether STAT3 and SOCS3 in smooth muscle cells would play a role in cardiovascular pathophysiology.
Methods and results
To target inactivation of the SOCS3 gene to smooth muscle cells, SOCS3-flox mice were bred with transgenic mice expressing Cre recombinase under control of the mouse SM22-α promoter (sm-SOCS3-KO mice). Left ventricular weight to body weight ratio was significantly increased in sm-SOCS3-KO mice compared with wild-type mice at 52 weeks of age (p<0.05). Echocardiographic analyses of sm-SOCS3-KOmice showed significantly decreased cardiac function compared with wild-typefrom 52 weeks of age (p<0.05). Interestingly, Sirius-red staining revealed that thickness of pericardium in sm-SOCS3-KOmice was markedly greater compared with wild-typemice at 52 weeks of age (p<0.05). Cardiac interstitial fibrosis in sm-SOCS3-KOmice was also greater compared with wild-typemice (p<0.05). Western blot analyses showed that phosphorylated STAT3 was significantly increased in sm-SOCS3-KOhearts compared with wild-typemice at 52 weeks of age (p<0.05), whereas no significant differences were observed at 7 weeks of age. Immunostaining revealed that phosphorylated STAT3 positive cells were in thickened pericardial area in sm-SOCS3-KOhearts. Some infiltrated inflammatory cells were also found in thickened pericardial area in sm-SOCS3-KOmice hearts.
Conclusion
These results suggest that STAT3 and its negative-feedback regulator SOCS3 in smooth muscle cells play an important role in the pathogenesis of pericardial fibrosis and cardiac dysfunction.
