Abstract
Aim: We sought to identify the variants that could predict the risk of nivolumab-induced immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in patients with cancer. Patients & methods: We enrolled 622 Japanese patients and carried out a genome-wide association study. The associations for 507 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) showing p < 0.001 were further investigated using an independent cohort. Results: In the combined analysis, possible associations were found for a total of 90 SNPs. Although no SNPs were identified to be significantly associated with nivolumab-induced irAEs, the SNP most strongly associated with nivolumab-induced irAEs was rs469490. Conclusion: This study is an important hypothesis-generating study to guide future studies in larger and/or other ethnic cohorts.

Abstract
Gemcitabine/carboplatin‐induced myelosuppressive adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are clinical problems leading to patient suffering and dose alterations. There is a need for personalised medicine to improve treatment effects and patients' well‐being. We tested four genetic variants, rs11141915, rs1901440, rs12046844 and rs11719165, previously suggested as potential biomarkers for gemcitabine‐induced leukopenia/neutropenia in Japanese patients, in 213 Swedish gemcitabine/carboplatin‐treated non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. DNA was genotyped using TaqMan probes and real‐time PCR. The relationships between the risk alleles and low toxicity (non‐ADR: Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] grades 0) or high toxicity (ADR: CTCAE grades 3–4) of platelets, leukocytes and neutrophils were evaluated using Fisher's exact test. The risk alleles did not correlate with myelosuppression, and the strongest borderline significance (not withstanding adjustment for multiple testing) was for rs1901440 (neutropenia, p = 0.043) and rs11719165 (leukopenia, p = 0.049) where the risk alleles trended towards lower toxicity, contrasting with previous study findings. Risk alleles and higher risk scores were more common among our patients. We conclude that the genetic variants do not apply to Swedish patients treated with gemcitabine/carboplatin. However, they can still be important in other populations and cohorts, especially in a gemcitabine monotherapy setting, where the causal genetic variation might influence myelosuppressive ADRs.

Abstract
The feline AB blood group system (blood types A, B, and AB) encoding the cytidine monophosphate-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase (CMAH) gene is the most significant in transfusion medicine and hemolysis of the newborn for cats. Blood typing and cross-matching in pre-transfusion testing are crucial to determining blood compatibility and thus prevent hemolytic transfusion reactions. We here performed serological and genetic investigations to characterize blood samples from cats with discordant results for card agglutination (CARD) and the alloantibody agglutination test for blood typing in two cats (subjects K and R). Subject K showed incompatible cross-matching in pre-transfusion testing. Red blood cells from subjects K and R determined blood type B from the CARD method showed blood type AB by alloanti-A and alloanti-B antibodies in agglutination testing. Genomic DNA sequencing of the coding region (exons 1a to 14) for the cat CMAH gene showed that subject K had four mutations with heterozygosity at c.139C>T, c.179G>T, c.327A>C, and c.364C>T. Similarly, the CMAH gene of subject R carried six mutations with heterozygosity at c.142G>A, c.187A>G, c.268T>A, c.327A>C, c.773G>A and c.1603G>A, representing a new diplotype including a novel synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in exon 7 (c.773 G>A: Arg258Gln). The CMAH diplotype in subjects K and R was different from major diplotype in blood type B cats. This study is the first to report CMAH variants in cats with discordant blood types between CARD and TUBE methods. These results could assist in the classification of feline AB blood types for transfusion medicine to avoid blood incompatibilities.

Abstract
Chemotherapy response remains unpredictable in most patients with cancer. In this study, we performed whole-exome sequencing of 79 cancer xenografts derived from human cancer tissues to identify genetic predictors of chemosensitivity to nine cytotoxic anticancer drugs. Xenografts were harvested from 12 organs with cancer and implanted into nude mice. The mice were exposed to one of nine cytotoxic anticancer drugs (5-fluorouracil, nimustine, adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, cisplatin, mitomycin C, methotrexate, vincristine, and vinblastine) to assess the correlation between chemosensitivity response and variant allele frequency. We found 162 candidate variants that were possibly associated with chemosensitivity to one or more of the nine anticancer drugs (P < 0.01). In a subgroup analysis of breast and gastric cancer xenografts, 78 and 67 variants, respectively, were possibly associated with chemosensitivity. This approach may help to contribute to the development of personalized treatments that may allow for the prescription of optimal chemotherapy regimens among patients with cancer.

Abstract
Molecular-targeted drugs specifically interfere with molecules that are frequently overexpressed or mutated in cancer cells. As such, these drugs are generally considered to precisely attack cancer cells, thereby inducing fewer adverse drug reactions (ADRs). However, molecular-targeted drugs can still cause characteristic ADRs that, although rarely severe, can be life-threatening. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important to be able to predict which patients are at risk of developing ADRs after treatment with molecular-targeted therapy. The emerging field of pharmacogenetics aims to better distinguish the genetic variants associated with drug toxicity and efficacy to improve the selection of therapeutic strategies for each genetic profile. Here, we provide an overview of the current reports on the relationship between genetic variants and molecular-targeted drug-induced severe ADRs in oncology.

Abstract
The widespread use of breast screening programs has contributed to the detection of early stage breast cancer, which is often asymptomatic. Early diagnosis is essential to avoid overtreatment and improve clinical outcomes, as early stage breast cancer is rarely life-threatening if detected quickly. Despite this, tissue biopsy remains the principle method for detecting these cancers. Liquid biopsy has been recently proposed as a promising detection method in oncology that is not only less invasive but also contributes to the early diagnosis of breast cancer. Here, we describe the clinical utility of liquid biopsy as a tool for the early detection of breast cancer.

Abstract
Objectives Following the massive earthquake that struck eastern Japan on March 11, 2011, a large amount of radioactive material was released into the environment from the damaged reactor of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP). After the FDNPP accident, radiocaesium was first detected in muscle samples from wild Japanese monkeys exposed to radioactive materials, and haematologic effects, changes in head size, and delayed body weight gain were also reported, but little is known about the distribution of 137Cs in the organs and tissues of wild Japanese monkeys. Results We detected the 137Cs in various organ and tissue samples of 10 wild Japanese monkeys inhabiting the forested areas of Fukushima City that were captured between July and August 2012. Among muscle, brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung, and spleen, muscle exhibited the highest and the brain the lowest 137Cs concentration. The concentration (mean ± SD) of 137Cs in muscle, brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung, and spleen was 77 ± 66, 26 ± 22, 41 ± 35, 49 ± 41, 41 ± 38, 53 ± 41, and 53 ± 51 Bq/kg, respectively. These results can help us understand the biological effects of long-term internal radiation exposure in non-human primates.

Abstract
Drug-induced interstitial lung disease (DIILD) is a serious side effect of chemotherapy in cancer patients with an extremely high mortality rate. In this study, to identify genetic variants with greater risk of DIILD, we carried out whole genome sequencing (WGS) of germline DNA samples from 26 patients who developed DIILD, and conducted a case-control association study between these 26 cases and general Japanese population controls registered in the integrative Japanese Genome Variation Database (iJGVD) as a screening study. The associations of 42 single nucleotide variants (SNVs) showing P < 0.0001 were further validated using an independent cohort of 18 DIILD cases as a replication study. A further combined analysis of the screening and replication studies showed a possible association of two SNVs, rs35198919 in intron 1 of the chromosome 22 open reading frame 34 (C22orf34) and rs12625311 in intron 1 of the teashirt zinc finger homeobox 2 (TSHZ2), with DIILD (Pcombined = 1.87 × 10−5 and 5.16 × 10−5, respectively). Furthermore, in a subgroup analysis of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)–tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-induced interstitial lung disease (ILD), we observed seven candidate SNVs that were possibly associated with ILD (P < 0.00001). This is the first study to identify genetic markers for the risk of DIILD using WGS. Collectively, our novel findings indicate that these SNVs may be applicable for predicting the risk of DIILD in patients receiving chemotherapy.

Abstract
Purpose Although association studies of genetic variations with the clinical outcomes of breast cancer patients treated with tamoxifen have been reported, genetic factors which could determine individual response to tamoxifen are not fully clarified. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify novel genetic markers for response to tamoxifen. Experimental design We prospectively collected 347 blood samples from patients with hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative, invasive breast cancer receiving preoperative tamoxifen monotherapy for 14 to 28 days. We used Ki-67 response in breast cancer tissues after preoperative short-term tamoxifen therapy as a surrogate marker for response to tamoxifen. We performed GWAS and genotype imputation using 275 patients, and an independent set of 72 patients was used for replication study. Results The combined result of GWAS and the replication study, and subsequent imputation analysis indicated possible association of three loci with Ki-67 response after tamoxifen therapy (rs17198973 on chromosome 4q34.3, rs4577773 on 6q12, and rs7087428 on 10p13, Pcombined = 5.69 x 10−6, 1.64 x 10−5, and 9.77 x 10−6, respectively). When patients were classified into three groups by the scoring system based on the genotypes of the three SNPs, patients with higher scores showed significantly higher after/before ratio of Ki-67 compared to those with lower scores (P = 1.8 x 10−12), suggesting the cumulative effect of the three SNPs. Conclusion We identified three novel loci, which could be associated with clinical response to tamoxifen. These findings provide new insights into personalized hormonal therapy for the patients with breast cancer.

Abstract
Although trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity is an important determinant to limit the use of this drug, the molecular mechanism of risk for this toxicity is not well understood. To identify a genetic marker(s) determining the risk of trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity, we performed whole exome sequencing of germline DNA samples from 9 patients with trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity, and conducted a case-control association study of 2,258 genetic variants between 9 cases (with trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity) and general Japanese population controls registered in Human Genetic Variation Database (HGVD). To further validate the result of the screening study, we carried out a replication study of 10 variants showing Pmin < 0.001 in the screening study using 234 independent patients treated with trastuzumab, including 10 cases and 224 controls (without trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity). In the replication study, we observed that three variants had effect in the same direction as in the screening study (SNV1 in exon 2 of HERADR1, SNV2 in exon 2 of HERADR2 and SNV3 in exon 44 of HERADR3). A combined result of the screening and the replication studies suggested an association of a locus on chromosome 6q12 with trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity (SNV3 in HERADR3, combined-Pmin = 0.00056, OR = 13.73). This finding provides new insights into personalized trastuzumab therapy for the patients with HER2 positive cancer.

Abstract
Although trastuzumab‐induced cardiotoxicity is an important determinant to limit the use of this drug, the molecular mechanism of risk for this toxicity is not well understood. To identify genetic variants determining the risk of trastuzumab‐induced cardiotoxicity, we carried out whole exome sequencing of germline DNA samples from 9 patients with trastuzumab‐induced cardiotoxicity, and conducted a case‐control association study of 2258 genetic variants between 9 cases (with trastuzumab‐induced cardiotoxicity) and general Japanese population controls registered in the Human Genetic Variation Database (HGVD). The top variant which showed the lowest P‐value in the screening study was rs139503277 in PHD Finger Protein 3 (Pmin = .00012, odds ratio [OR] = 51.23). To further validate the result of screening study, we carried out a replication study of 10 variants showing Pmin < .001 in the screening study using 234 independent patients treated with trastuzumab, including 10 cases and 224 controls (without trastuzumab‐induced cardiotoxicity). In the replication study, we observed that three variants had an effect in the same direction as in the screening study (rs78272919 in exon 2 of Keratin 15, rs5762940 in exon 2 of zinc and ring finger 3, and rs139944387 in exon 44 of Eyes shut homologs [EYS]). A combined result of the screening and the replication studies suggested an association of a locus on chromosome 6q12 with trastuzumab‐induced cardiotoxicity (rs139944387 in EYS, combined Pmin = .00056, OR = 13.73). This finding provides new insights into personalized trastuzumab therapy for patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)‐positive cancer.

Abstract
Although there has been progress moving from a 'one-size-fits-all' cytotoxic approach to personalized molecular medicine, the majority of patients with cancer receive chemotherapy using cytotoxic anticancer drugs. The sequencing analysis of 409 genes associated with cancer was conducted in the present study using 59 DNA sequences extracted from human cancer xenografts implanted into nude mice, of which sensitivity to 9 cytotoxic anticancer drugs [5-fluorouracil, nimustine, adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, cisplatin, mitomycin C (MMC), methotrexate, vincristine (VCR), and vinblastine] was examined. The present study investigated the association between the sensitivities of the xenografts to the 9 anticancer drugs and the frequency of single nucleotide variants (SNV). The correlation between the expression level of the genes and sensitivities to the 9 drugs in the above xenografts was also estimated. In the screening study using 59 xenografts, 3 SNVs (rs1805321, rs62456182 in PMS1 Homolog 2, Mismatch Repair System Component and rs13382825 in LDL Receptor Related Protein 1B), were associated with sensitivity to VCR and MMC, respectively (P<0.001). A replication study of 596 SNVs was subsequently performed, which indicated P<0.05 in the screening study using independent samples of 20 xenografts. A combined result of the screening and replication studies indicated that 35 SNVs were potentially associated with sensitivities to one or more of the nine anticancer drugs (Pcombined=0.0011-0.035). Of the 35 SNVs, rs16903989 and rs201432181 in Leukemia Inhibitory Factor Receptor α and Adhesion G Protein-Coupled Receptor A2 were commonly associated with sensitivity to 2 or 4 anticancer drugs, respectively. These findings provide novel insights which may benefit the development of personalized anticancer therapy for patients with cancer in the future.

Abstract
Although the progress in moving from a one-size-fits-all cytotoxic approach to personalized molecular medicine, majority of the patients with cancer receive chemotherapy with cytotoxic anticancer drugs. Exome sequencing of 409 cancer related genes was conducted using 59 DNAs extracted from human tumor xenografts implanted into nude mice, of which sensitivity to nine cytotoxic anticancer drugs (5-fluorouracil (5FU), Nimustine (ACNU), adriamycin (ADR), cyclophosphamide (CPM), cisplatin (DDP), mitomycin C (MMC), methotrexate (MTX), vincristine (VCR), and vinblastine (VLB)) had been examined. We investigated the relationship between the sensitivities of the xenografts to the nine anticancer drugs and single nucleotide variants (SNVs) by classifying them into three groups according to the allele frequency (≤10%, 10-90%, ≥90%). We further carried out replication study using additional set of 20 xenografts. We also estimated the correlation between the expression levels of the 409 genes and sensitivities to the nine drugs in the above xenografts. In the screening stage using 59 xenografts, three SNVs, which were associated with sensitivity to VCR or MMC, showed P < 0.001. We further carried out a replication study of 596 SNVs showing P < 0.05 in the screening stage using independent samples of 20 xenografts. A combined result of the screening and replication studies suggested possible associations of 35 SNVs with sensitivities to the nine anticancer drugs (Pcombined = 0.0011 - 0.035). A total of 35 SNVs showed possible association with sensitivity to at least one of the nine drugs. Of the 35 SNVs, SNV-1 and SNV-2 in a tumor suppressor gene and a oncogene were commonly associated with sensitivity to two or four anticancer drugs, respectively. These findings provide new insights into precision anticancer therapy for the patients with cancer.

Abstract
REIC/DKK-3 is a tumor suppressor, however, its intracellular physiological functions and interacting molecules have not been fully clarified. Using yeast two-hybrid screening, we found that small glutamine-rich tetratricopeptide repeat-containing protein α (SGTA), known as a negative modulator of cytoplasmic androgen receptor (AR) signaling, is a novel interacting partner of REIC/DKK-3. Mammalian two-hybrid and pull-down assay results indicated that the SGTA-REIC/DKK-3 interaction involved the N-terminal regions of both REIC/DKK-3 and SGTA and that REIC/DKK-3 interfered with the dimerization of SGTA, which is a component of the AR complex and a suppressor of dynein motor-dependent AR transport and signaling. A reporter assay in human prostate cancer cells that displayed suppressed AR signaling by SGTA showed recovery of AR signaling by REIC/DKK-3 expression. Considering these results and our previous data that REIC/DKK-3 interacts with the dynein light chain TCTEX-1, we propose that the REIC/DKK-3 protein interferes with SGTA dimerization, promotes dynein-dependent AR transport and then upregulates AR signaling.

Abstract
Cat’s AB blood group system (blood types A, B, and AB) is of major importance in feline transfusion medicine. Type A and type B antigens are Neu5Gc and Neu5Ac, respectively, and the enzyme CMAH participating in the synthesis of Neu5Gc from Neu5Ac is associated with this cat blood group system. Rare type AB erythrocytes express both Neu5Gc and Neu5Ac. Cat serum contains naturally occurring antibodies against antigens occurring in the other blood types. To understand the molecular genetic basis of this blood group system, we investigated the distribution of AB blood group antigens, CMAH gene structure, mutation, diplotypes, and haplotypes of the cat CMAH genes. Blood-typing revealed that 734 of the cats analyzed type A (95.1%), 38 cats were type B (4.9%), and none were type AB. A family of three Ragdoll cats including two type AB cats and one type A was also used in this study. CMAH sequence analyses showed that the CMAH protein was generated from two mRNA isoforms differing in exon 1. Analyses of the nucleotide sequences of the 16 exons including the coding region of CMAH examined in the 34 type B cats and in the family of type AB cats carried the CMAH variants, and revealed multiple novel diplotypes comprising several polymorphisms. Haplotype inference, which was focused on non-synonymous SNPs revealed that eight haplotypes carried one to four mutations in CMAH, and all cats with type B (n = 34) and AB (n = 2) blood carried two alleles derived from the mutated CMAH gene. These results suggested that double haploids selected from multiple recessive alleles in the cat CMAH loci were highly associated with the expression of the Neu5Ac on erythrocyte membrane in types B and AB of the feline AB blood group system.

Abstract
Mutations in the breast cancer susceptibility gene BRCA2 leading to the failure of interactions with the recombinase RAD51 are associated with an increased risk of cancer in humans. This interaction depends on the eight BRC repeat (BRC1-8) sequences in BRCA2. We previously reported that canine BRC3 has two polymorphisms (T1425P and K1435R) influencing the interaction with RAD51, and 1435R was identified in mammary tumor dog samples. In this study, we investigated the sequence variations of BRC3 and 4 in 236 dogs of five breeds. Allele frequencies of 1425P and 1435R were 0.063 and 0.314, respectively, and there was no other polymorphism in the sequenced region. A mammalian two-hybrid assay using BRC3-4 sequences demonstrated that 1425P allele reduced the binding strength with RAD51 but 1435R had no effect. These results may provide an insight into the functions of not only individual but also multiple BRC repeats of BRCA2 in dogs.

Abstract
Background The uncoupling proteins (UCPs) in the mitochondrial inner membrane are members of the mitochondrial anion carrier protein family that play an important role in energy homeostasis. Genetic association studies have shown that human UCP2 and UCP3 variants (SNPs and indels) are associated with obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome. The aim of this study was to examine the genetic association between polymorphisms in UCP2 and UCP3 and metabolic data in dogs. Results We identified 10 SNPs (9 intronic and 1 exonic) and 4 indels (intronic) in UCP2, and 13 SNPs (11 intronic and 2 exonic) and one indel (exonic) in UCP3, by DNA sequence analysis of 11 different dog breeds (n = 119). An association study between these UCP2 and UCP3 variants and the biochemical parameters of glucose, total cholesterol, lactate dehydrogenase and triglyceride in Labrador Retrievers (n = 50) showed that none of the UCP2 polymorphisms were significantly associated with the levels of these parameters. However, four UCP3 SNPs (intron 1) were significantly associated with total cholesterol levels. In addition, the allele frequencies of two of the four SNPs associated with higher total cholesterol levels in a breed that is susceptible to hypercholesterolemia (Shetland Sheepdogs, n = 30), compared with the control breed (Shiba, n = 30). Conclusion The results obtained from a limited number of individuals suggest that the UCP3 gene in dogs may be associated with total cholesterol levels. The examination of larger sample sizes and further analysis will lead to increased precision of these results.

Abstract
REIC/Dkk-3, a member of the human Dickkopf (Dkk) family, plays a role as a suppressor of growth in several human cancers. In this study, the tumour suppression function of canine REIC/Dkk-3 was investigated. The full-length open reading frame of the canine REIC/Dkk-3 homologue was cloned and the tissue distribution of REIC/Dkk-3 mRNA was determined, along with the subcellular localisation of the REIC/Dkk-3 protein in canine cancer cell lines. Expression of REIC/Dkk-3 was lower in mammary gland tumours and in canine mammary carcinoma cell lines than in normal mammary gland tissue. Overexpression of REIC/Dkk-3 induced apoptosis in canine mammary carcinoma cell lines. These results show that expression of REIC/Dkk-3 is downregulated in canine mammary tumours and that one of the functions of this gene is induction of apoptosis.
