Abstract
Liposomes are widely used as drug delivery nanoplatforms because of their versatility and biocompatibility; however, their ability to load certain drugs may be suboptimal. In this study, we generated liposomes using a combination of DSPE and DSPE-PEG-2 k lipids and loaded them with doxorubicin (DOX) and paclitaxel (PTX), to investigate the effects of light emitting diode (LED) irradiation on liposome structure and drug loading efficiency. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy revealed that the surface of liposomes irradiated with blue or near-infrared LEDs (LsLipo) was rougher and more irregular than that of non-LED-irradiated liposomes (NsLipo). Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis showed that the hydrogen peak originating from the lipid head groups was lower in LsLipo than in NsLipo preparations, indicating that LED irradiation changed the chemical and physical properties of the liposome. Structural changes, such as reduced rigidity, induced by LED irradiation, increased the loading efficiency of DOX and PTX. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that LsLipo were more effective at inhibiting the growth of cancer cells than NsLipo. Our findings suggest that LED irradiation enhances the drug delivery efficacy of liposomes and offer new possibilities for improving drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Immunotherapy based on adoptive transfer of natural killer (NK) cells is a promising strategy for circumventing the limitations of cancer treatments. However, components of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), such as transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), compromise the therapeutic efficacy of NK cells significantly. To address these limitations, we developed a novel method of engineering NK cells for adaptive transfer. The method is based on nanogels that serve two functions: (1) they overcome the TGF-β-mediated stress environment of the TME, and (2) they enhance the direct anti-tumor activity of NK cells. Previously, we demonstrated that cationic compounds such as 25 K branched polyethylenimine (25 K bPEI) prime NK cells, putting them in a 'ready-to-fight' state. Based on these findings, we designed nanogels that have two primary characteristics: (1) they encapsulate galunisertib (Gal), which is used clinically to inhibit TGF-β receptor activity, thereby blocking TGF-β signaling; and (2) they provide cells with a surface coating of 25 K bPEI. When grown in culture medium containing TGF-β, nanogel-treated NK cells demonstrated greater migration ability, degranulation activity, and cytotoxicity towards cancer cells than untreated NK cells. Additionally, the in vivo efficacy of nanogel-treated NK cells against PC-3 xenografts was significantly greater than that of Chem_NK cells primed by 25 K bPEI alone. These findings suggest that Gal-loaded 25 K bPEI-coated nanogels exert anti-tumor effects via chemical priming, as well suppressing the effects of TGF-β on NK cells. We also expect 25 K bPEI-based nanogels to have great potential to overcome the suppressive effects of the TME through their NK cell-priming activity and delivery of the desired chemicals.

Abstract
Photoporation techniques based on plasmonic nanoparticles such as gold nanoparticles have been extensively studied for the intracellular delivery of substances via cell membrane disruption. However, the clinical application of AuNP is challenging due to its absorption in the 500 nm region of the light spectrum. To overcome this challenge, upconversion nanoparticles were employed to stimulate AuNP at NIR wavelengths. posAuNP@UCNPs nanocomposites were produced by coating 30 nm UCNPs on 80 nm AuNPs using DOPA-PEI, which were then irradiated with 980 nm NIR light to facilitate their intracellular delivery. TEM and DLS confirmed that posAuNP and UCNP combine to form nanocomposites. Additionally, multiphysics simulation was used to analyze the distribution of the posAuNP electric field based on morphological differences that change as the UCNP ratio increases. Next, effective LED irradiation conditions were established by applying upconverting-photon quenching-mediated perforation influx to C28/I2 cells as suspensions or spheroids. posAuNP@UCNP nanocomposites were confirmed to be effective for the delivery of baricitinib as a treatment for osteoarthritis in a three-dimensional osteoarthritis model. Finally, chondrocyte differentiation was induced through intracellular delivery of baricitinib using posAuNP@UCNPs. The findings suggest that posAuNP@UCNPs have great potential as a tool for non-invasive drug delivery via UCPPin.

Abstract
Many attempts have been made to use mitochondria (MT) to treat human diseases; however, MT are large, making them difficult to deliver effectively. Therefore, a transfer strategy based on membrane fusion was established. Fusogenic mitochondrial capsules (FMCs) comprising a neutral lipid (PE), a cationic lipid (DOTAP), an aromatic lipid (Liss Rhod PE), and three types of liposome (FMC0, FMC1, and FMC2), were designed and synthesized. The amount of DOTAP, which affects membrane fusion efficiency, differed between FMC preparations. The characteristics of these FMCs were analyzed by DLS, TEM, and AFM, and the encapsulation and fusion efficiency between FMC-MT and FMC-chondrocytes were confirmed by FRET, mtDNA copy number, and CLSM, respectively. Compared with naked MT, delivery of FMCs to chondrocytes was faster and more efficient. Moreover, fusion was a more stable delivery method than endocytosis, as evidenced by reduced induction of mitophagy. In vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that FMCs reduced expression of inflammatory cytokines and MMP13, increased expression of extracellular matrix components, and promoted cartilage regeneration. These findings suggest that FMCs are a highly effective and promising strategy for delivery of MT to promote cartilage regeneration, and highlight their potential as a novel platform for MT transfer therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a widely explored therapeutic target in solid tumors. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab-pkrb, a biosimilar of trastuzumab, in combination with paclitaxel, in HER2-positive recurrent or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC). PATIENTS AND METHODS We enrolled 27 patients; they were administered a loading dose of 8 mg/kg trastuzumab-pkrb on day 1, followed by 6 mg/kg and 175 mg/m2 paclitaxel on day 1 every 3 weeks, intravenously. All patients received six cycles of the combination treatment and continued to receive trastuzumab-pkrb maintenance until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or for up to 2 years. HER2 positivity (based on immunohistochemistry analysis) was determined according to the 2013 American Society of Clinical Oncology /College of American Pathologists HER2 testing guidelines. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR); the secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and safety. RESULTS Twenty-six patients were evaluated via primary endpoint analysis. The ORR was 48.1% (1 complete and 12 partial responses) and the duration of response was 6.9 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 4.4-9.3 months]. With a median follow-up of 10.5 months, the median PFS and OS were 8.4 months (95% CI 6.2-8.8 months) and 13.5 months (95% CI 9.8 months-not reached), respectively. The most common treatment-related adverse event (TRAE) of any grade was peripheral neuropathy (88.9%). The most common grade 3/4 TRAEs were neutropenia (25.9%), thrombocytopenia (7.4%), and anemia (7.4%). CONCLUSIONS Trastuzumab-pkrb plus paclitaxel demonstrates promising efficacy with manageable toxicity profiles in patients with HER2-positive recurrent or metastatic UC.

Abstract
Almost all cells can be exposed to stress, but oocytes, which are female germ cells, are particularly vulnerable to damage. In this study, melatonin, a well-known antioxidant, was loaded into biodegradable poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) and delivered to damaged oocytes in order to improve their quality and restoration. Etoposide (ETP)-induced deteriorated oocytes show poor maturity, mitochondrial aggregation, and DNA damage. Treatment of NPs not only reduced DNA damage but also improved mitochondrial stability, as evidenced by increased ATP levels and mitochondrial homogeneity. When melatonin was added to the culture medium at the same concentration as that present in NPs, DNA and mitochondrial repair was insignificant due to the half-life of melatonin, whereas DNA repair in damaged oocytes upon multiple treatments with melatonin was similar to that observed with melatonin-loaded NPs. Next, we evaluated whether the oocytes treated with NPs could have cryoprotective abilities during vitrification/thawing. Vitrified-oocytes were stored at -196 °C for 0.25 h (T1) or 0.5 h (T2). After thawing, live oocytes were subjected to in vitro maturation. The NP-treated group showed maturity similar to the control group (77.8% in T1, 72.7% in T2) and the degree of DNA damage was reduced compared to the ETP-induced group (p < 0.05).

Abstract
The efficiency of gene therapy is often dictated by the gene delivery system. Cationic polymers are essential elements of gene delivery systems. The relatively cheap cationic polymer, polyethyleneimine, has high gene delivery efficiency and is often used for gene delivery. However, the efficiency of gene therapy with polyethyleneimine-pDNA polyplex (PEI) is low. Human mesenchymal stem cells transfected with polyethyleneimine and a plasmid carrying the important osteogenic differentiation gene runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) accumulated DNA double-strand breaks and mitochondrial damage proportional to the amount of polyethyleneimine, reducing viability. Genomic/cellular stabilizer mediating RUNX2 delivery (GuaRD), a new reagent incorporating RS-1 NPs developed in this study, promoted DNA repair and prevented the accumulation of cell damage, allowing the delivery of pRUNX2 into hMSCs. while maintaining genome and mitochondrial stability. DNA damage was significantly lower and the expression of DNA repair-related genes significantly higher with GuaRD than with PEI. In addition, GuaRD improved mitochondrial stability, decreased the level of reactive oxygen species, and increased mitochondrial membrane potential. Osteogenic extracellular matrix (ECM) expression and calcification were higher with GuaRD than with PEI, suggesting improved osteogenic differentiation. These results indicate that lowering the cytotoxicity of PEI and improving cell stability are key to overcoming the limitations of conventional gene therapy, and that GuaRD can help resolve these limitations.

Abstract
Background Due to their powerful immune surveillance activity and ability to kill and clear cancer cells, natural killer (NK) cells are an emerging anticancer immunotherapeutic agent. Therefore, there is much interest in developing efficient technologies that further enhance the therapeutic antitumor efficacy of NK cells. Methods To produce chemically primed NK cells, we screened polymers with various electric charges and examined their ability to enhance the cytotoxicity of NK cells. The effect of primary amine and electric charges of 25 kDa branched polyethylenimine (25KbPEI) was investigated by fluorination of the chemical. The role of 25KbPEI in determining the major priming mechanism was investigated in terms of calcium influx into NK cells. In vivo therapeutic efficacy of chemically primed NK cells was evaluated against solid tumor mouse model of triple negative breast and ovarian cancers. Results Chem_NK that was produced by the priming activity of 25KbPEI showed potent antitumor activity to various cancer cells. Chem_NK showed an activated phenotype, which manifests as increased expression of activating/adhesion/chemokine receptors and perforin accumulation, leading to enhanced migration ability and antitumor activity. Chem_NK display potent therapeutic efficacy against in vivo mouse model of triple negative breast and ovarian cancers. Fluorination of the primary amine group reduces the activity of 25KbPEI to prime NK cells, indicating that the cationic charge on the chemical plays a critical role in NK cell activation. A major priming mechanism was 25KbPEI-mediated calcium influx into NK cells, which occurred mainly via the Ca2+-permeable non-selective cation channel transient receptor potential melastatin 2. Conclusions NK cells can be chemically primed with 25KbPEI to express potent antitumor activity as well as enhanced migration ability. Because PEI is a biocompatible and Food and Drug Administration-approved chemical for biomedical use, these results suggest a cost-effective and simple method of producing therapeutic NK cells.

Abstract
Beta2-microglobulin (B2M) is a subunit of human leukocyte antigen class-I (HLA-I) heterodimer that mediates immune rejection through activation of cytotoxic T cells. B2M binding to HLA-I proteins is essential for functional HLA-I on the cell surface. Here, we generated a B2M homozygous knockout somatic cell nuclear transfer-induced embryonic stem cell (SCNT-ESC) line using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene targeting. B2M KO cell line, which does not express HLA-I molecules on cell surface, has pluripotency and differentiation ability to three germ layers. This cell line provides a useful cell source for investigating immunogenicity of allogeneic ESCs and their derivatives for tissue regeneration.

Abstract
The characteristics of oocytes, which are female germ cells, have not been studied using optical materials. The structural layers (zona pellucida, ZP) around oocytes make it difficult to deliver drugs aimed at treating infertility. Here, we investigated whether the fluorescent probes sulforhodamine, fluorescein 5(6)-isothiocyanate, tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate, cyanine 3 carboxylic acid, and cyanine 5 carboxylic acid penetrate oocytes. By targeting the ZP layer of the oocyte, the characteristics of the model drug, a fluorescent probe, were analyzed, and the position of the probe in the oocyte was confirmed for differences in the characteristics. Penetration of the ZP and delivery into the cytoplasm differed between the fluorescent probes. This was due to their different physiochemical properties, including hydrophobicity (contact angle and surface tension), surfactant activity, and electrical charge. Among the fluorescent probes delivered to cytoplasm, unlike TRITC, Cy3 and Cy5 perturbed oocyte development. These results suggest that in oocytes with high physical barriers (cell membrane, zona pellucida), the delivery efficiency can be estimated by considering the properties (molecular weight and structure, solubility and functional structure, etc.) of the drug. In addition, it suggests that an encapsulated or bound carrier of a drug with properties similar to that of a fluorescent probe can be efficiently delivered into oocytes.

Abstract
The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9 system recognizes and deletes specific nucleotide sequences in cells for gene editing. This study aimed to edit and knockdown the RUNX2 gene, a key transcription factor that is directly involved in all stages of stem cell differentiation into osteoblasts. The RUNX2 gene was depleted using the CRISPR-Cas9 system to inhibit osteoblast differentiation of stem cells. shRNA vectors targeting RUNX2 were used as a control. The surface of nanoparticles (NPs) was coated with the cationic polymer linear polyethyleneimine. Thereafter, negatively charged CRISPR-Cas9 and shRNA vectors were complexed with positively charged NPs via ionic interactions. Several analytical methods were used to determine the size, surface charge, and morphology of NPs and to characterize the complexed genes. NPs complexed with CRISPR-Cas9 and shRNA vectors were delivered into human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) via endocytosis. The mRNA and protein expression patterns of various genes in hMSCs were measured over time following internalization of NPs complexed with CRISPR-Cas9 and shRNA vectors in two- and three-dimensional culture systems. Knockdown of the RUNX2 gene decreased osteogenic differentiation and increased chondrogenic differentiation of hMSCs. As a result of investigating the efficiency of NPs complexed with CRISPR-Cas9 (CASP-NPs), Runx2 effectively knocked down in mesenchymal stem cells to enhance differentiation into chondrocytes, therefore CASP-NPs proved to be an effective gene carrier in hMSCs.

Abstract
This study developed a three-layer consecutive gene delivery system (T-CGDS) for timely gene delivery into human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). The timing of transcription factor expression is important to effectively induce bone differentiation. Therefore, a three-layered nanocomposite was fabricated using differently sized gold nanoparticles to promote bone regeneration and osteogenic differentiation. The core layer comprised 80 nm gold nanoparticles coupled with ATF4 pDNA. Following coating with heparin-conjugated Pluronic F-127 (HP-F127), 50 nm gold nanoparticles coupled with SP7 pDNA were added to fabricate a bi-layer system. After further coating with HP-F127, 20 nm gold nanoparticles combined with RUNX2 pDNA were added. Consequently, a T-CGDS measuring 350-450 nm was fabricated. Genes were released for more than 8 days, while the size of the T-CGDS decreased over time. When the T-CGDS was applied to hMSCs, the gene in the outer layer (RUNX2) was expressed first, followed by those in the middle (SP7) and core (ATF4) layers. The T-CGDS effectively induced bone differentiation and regeneration in vitro and in vivo. Timely delivery of the ATF4 gene to stem cells via the T-CGDS can greatly assist osteogenic differentiation involved in bone regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This retrospective study investigated the nature and severity of venom-induced consumption coagulopathy (VICC) and determined the clotting factors involved in VICC in patients after envenomation by South Korea's snakes. Additionally, we studied the effectiveness of antivenom for the treatment of VICC after envenomation. METHODS Included patients were divided into three groups according to the severity of VICC (no VICC, partial VICC, and complete VICC). Data, including changes in coagulation parameters during hospitalization and clotting factors at presentation, were collected and analyzed. RESULTS One hundred nineteen patients who presented at our emergency department within 3 h after snake envenomation were included. VICC developed in 34 patients (27 patients with partial VICC and 7 patients with complete VICC). Two of 34 patients with VICC required blood transfusions. Five patients with complete VICC had an undetectable fibrinogen concentration at presentation. Three patients with complete VICC had an unmeasurable INR and aPTT within 24 h. The median times of the most extreme values were 10 h for INR, 12 h for aPTT, and 16 h for fibrinogen after presentation in the VICC group. The D-dimer concentration peaked at a median of 63.5 h after presentation. The activities of factors II and X were significantly reduced in the complete VICC group (factor II: 88 (84-99.3)% in the non-VICC group vs. 69 (49.5-83.5)% in the complete VICC group; factor X:94 (83-102) in the non-VICC group vs. 70 (66.5-79.8)% in the complete VICC group), while there was no difference in factor V activity at presentation. The time from bite to first antivenom administration did not correlate with the time course and most extreme concentrations for fibrinogen and D-dimer within the VICC groups. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION VICC occurs in approximately one-quarter of snakebite patients in South Korea; however, VICC itself does not appear to lead to clinical deterioration. Fibrinogen is an early diagnostic maker for complete VICC. Clotting factors II and X are involved in VICC. Future investigations should explore the mechanism of VICC from Korean snakebites and the effect of antivenom on VICC.

Abstract
The structural layers around oocytes make it difficult to deliver drugs aimed at treating infertility. In this study, we sought to identify nanoparticles (NPs) that could easily pass through zona pellucida (ZP), a special layer around oocytes, for use as a drug delivery carrier. Three types of NPs were tested: quantum dot NPs, PE-polyethylene glycol (PEG)-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) NPs (PEG/PL), and tetramethylrhodamine-loaded PLGA NPs (TRNPs). When mouse oocytes were treated with NPs, only TRNPs could fully pass through the ZP and cell membrane. To assess the effects of TRNPs on fertility and potential nanotoxicity, we performed mRNA sequencing analysis to confirm their genetic safety. We established a system to successfully internalize TRNPs into oocytes. The genetic stability and normal development of TRNP-treated oocytes and embryos were confirmed. These results imply that TRNPs can be used as a drug delivery carrier applicable to germ cells.

Abstract
Cellular senescence of endothelial cells causes vascular dysfunction, promotes atherosclerosis, and contributes to the development of age-related vascular diseases. Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), a conserved NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase, has beneficial effects against aging, despite the fact that its functional mechanisms are largely uncharacterized. Here, we show that SIRT6 protects endothelial cells from senescence. SIRT6 expression is progressively decreased during both oxidative stress-induced senescence and replicative senescence. SIRT6 deficiency leads to endothelial dysfunction, growth arrest, and premature senescence. Using genetically engineered endothelial cell-specific SIRT6 knockout mice, we also show that down-regulation of SIRT6 expression in endothelial cells exacerbates vascular aging. Expression microarray analysis demonstrated that SIRT6 modulates the expression of multiple genes involved in cell cycle regulation. Specifically, SIRT6 appears to regulate the expression of forkhead box M1 (FOXM1), a critical transcription factor for cell cycle progression and senescence. Overexpression of FOXM1 ameliorates SIRT6 deficiency-induced endothelial cell senescence. In this work, we demonstrate the role of SIRT6 as an anti-aging factor in the vasculature. These data may provide the basis for future novel therapeutic approaches against age-related vascular disorders.

Abstract
Spinal fusion has become a common surgical technique to join two or more
vertebrae to stabilize a damaged spine; however, the rate of pseudarthrosis
(failure of fusion) is still high. To minimize pseudarthrosis, bone
morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2) has been approved for use in humans. In this
study, we developed a poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) composite incorporated
with magnesium hydroxide (MH) nanoparticles for the delivery of BMP2. This study
aimed to evaluate the effects of released BMP2 from BMP2-immobilized PLGA/MH
composite scaffold in an in vitro test and an in vivo mice spinal fusion model.
The PLGA/MH composite films were fabricated via solvent casting technique. The
surface of the PLGA/MH composite scaffold was modified with polydopamine (PDA)
to effectively immobilize BMP2 on the PLGA/MH composite scaffold. Analyzes of
the scaffold revealed that using PLGA/MH-PDA improved hydrophilicity,
degradation performance, neutralization effects, and increased BMP2 loading
efficiency. In addition, releasing BMP2 from the PLGA/MH scaffold significantly
promoted the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells.
Furthermore, the pH neutralization effect significantly increased in MC3T3-E1
cells cultured on the BMP2-immobilized PLGA/MH scaffold. In our animal study,
the PLGA/MH scaffold as a BMP2 carrier attenuates inflammatory responses and
promotes BMP2-induced bone formation in posterolateral spinal fusion model.
These results collectively demonstrate that the BMP2-immobilized PLGA/MH
scaffold offers great potential in effectively inducing bone formation in spinal
fusion surgery.

Abstract
CONTENT This study investigated the incidence, progression and clinical course of myocardial injury-related snake envenomation in South Korea. In addition, this study evaluated whether antivenom guidelines are appropriate to control envenomation in patients with myocardial injury. METHODS The study included 198 patients who received antivenom after a snakebite, and they were divided into two groups according to evidence of myocardial injury (defined as elevated troponin I or ischemic change on electrocardiogram) at presentation. Data including serial troponin I, echocardiogram/coronary angiogram findings, the clinical course, and treatment were collected and analyzed. RESULTS The incidence of myocardial injury at presentation was 15.2%. The troponin I level was 0.11 (0.07-0.56) ng/ml at presentation and tended to decrease over 24 h. Echocardiograms revealed neither regional wall motion abnormalities nor left ventricular dysfunction in 15 of 17 patients, while two patients showed signs of coronary artery stenosis on echocardiograms and coronary angiograms. However, compared with patients without myocardial injury, patients with myocardial injury had a higher frequency of systemic envenomation complications, including bleeding, respiratory failure, hypotension, acute kidney injury, thrombocytopenia and venom-induced consumption coagulopathy (VICC). The patients with myocardial injury at presentation needed significantly more frequent and larger doses of antivenom than indicated by the initial severity of envenomation. Multivariate analysis showed that myocardial injury was associated with the need for additional antivenom administration after initial administration. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Myocardial injury is not uncommon after snake envenomation in Korea. Although myocardial injury itself seems to be benign, the clinical course of patients with myocardial injury is complicated, and myocardial injury is associated with the need for additional antivenom administration. The optimal use of antivenom to control envenomation in patents with myocardial injury after snake envenomation in South Korea should be established.

Abstract
Electrically conductive materials can stimulate stem cells through electric shock and thereby contribute to the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation. Recently, polymer-metal complexes composed of polyaniline and gold nanoparticles have emerged as novel candidates for use in regenerative medicine. By mixing two different materials, such composites maximize the benefits while alleviating the disadvantages of using either material alone. Based on their excellent conductivity, these complexes can be applied to nerve regeneration using stem cells. In this study, we investigated a method for producing hybrid nanocomposites by complexing gold nanoparticles to polyaniline and tested the resultant composites in a model of nerve regeneration. We manipulated the shape, size, and electrical conductivity of the hybrid composites by compounding the component materials at various ratios. The most efficient nanocomposite was named conductive reinforced nanocomposites (CRNc's). When the CRNc was delivered directly to cells, no cytotoxicity was observed. After the intracellular delivery of the CRNc, the stem cells were electrically stimulated using an electroporator. As a result of performing mRNA-sequencing (Seq) analysis after electrical stimulation (ES) of the CRNc-internalized cells, it was confirmed that the CRNc-internalized cells have a pattern similar to that of the positive group-induced neuron cells. In particular, microtubule-associated protein 2 is more than twice that of the control group (negative control), and the nerve fiber protein is strongly expressed as in the positive control group. In addition, we verified that neural differentiation progressed by monitoring the growth of neurites from stem cells. Together, these findings show that the CRNc can be used to induce the formation of neuron-like cells by applying ES to stem cells.

Abstract
The use of nanoscale materials (NMs) could cause problems such as cytotoxicity, genomic aberration, and effects on human health, but the impacts of NM exposure during pregnancy remain uncharacterized in the context of clinical applications. It was sought to determine whether nanomaterials pass through the maternal-fetal junction at any stage of pregnancy. Quantum dots (QDs) coated with heparinized Pluronic 127 nanogels and polyethyleneimine (PEI) were administered to pregnant mice. The biodistribution of QDs, as well as their biological impacts on maternal and fetal health, was evaluated. Encapsulation of QDs with a nanogel coating produces a petal-like nanotracer (PNt), which could serve as a nano-carrier of genes or drugs. PNts were injected through the tail vein and accumulated in the liver, kidneys, and lungs. QD accumulation in reproductive organs (uterus, placenta, and fetus) differed among phases of pregnancy. In phase I (7 days of pregnancy), the QDs did not accumulate in the placenta or fetus, but by phase III (19 days) they had accumulated at high levels in both tissues. Karyotype analysis revealed that the PNt-treated pups did not have genetic abnormalities when dams were treated at any phase of pregnancy. PNts have the potential to serve as carriers of therapeutic agents for the treatment of the mother or fetus and these results have a significant impact on the development and application of QD-based NPs in pregnancy.

Abstract
Chondrogenesis is a highly coordinated event in embryo development, adult homeostasis, and repair of the vertebrate cartilage. Fate decisions and differentiation of chondrocytes accompany differential expression of genes critical for each step of chondrogenesis. SOX9 is a master transcription factor that participates in sequential events in chondrogenesis by regulating a series of downstream factors in a stage-specific manner. SOX9 either works alone or in combination with downstream SOX transcription factors, SOX5 and SOX6 as chondrogenic SOX Trio. SOX9 is reduced in the articular cartilage of patients with osteoarthritis while highly maintained during tumorigenesis of cartilage and bone. Gene therapy using viral and non-viral vectors accompanied by tissue engineering (scaffolds) is a promising tool to regenerate impaired cartilage. Delivery of SOX9 or chondrogenic SOX Trio into cells produces efficient therapeutic effects on chondrogenesis and this event is facilitated by scaffolds. Non-viral vector-guided delivery systems encapsulated or loaded in mechanically stable solid scaffolds are useful for the regeneration of articular cartilage. Here we review major milestones and most recent studies focusing on regulation and function of chondrogenic SOX Trio, during chondrogenesis and cartilage regeneration, and on the development of advanced technologies in gene delivery with tissue engineering to improve efficiency of cartilage repair process.

Abstract
PURPOSE Historically, atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with an increased risk of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). However, uncertainty remained regarding the effect of AD itself and comorbidities (e.g., allergic diseases, cataract surgery) on RRD occurrence in a large, population-based paediatric population. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analysed the 12-year National Health Insurance Service database (2002-2013) covering the entire Korean population to estimate the association between AD and RRD in people aged under 20 years. RESULTS We identified 3142 RRD patients, and matched 18,852 controls (six controls to each RRD patient); therefore, we included 21,994 peoples under aged 20 years in the analyses. AD was more prevalent in the RRD group (329 patients, 10.47%) than the control group (1043 patients, 5.53%; P < 0.001), and so were severe AD (153 patients [4.87%] and 223 patients [1.18%], respectively; P < 0.001). In conditional logistic regression analysis, AD was associated with RRD (OR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.93-1.87) even after adjusting for allergic conditions, connective tissue disease, uveitis, and cataract surgery. In addition, severity of AD was associated with an increased risk of RRD (OR for non-severe AD and severe AD, 1.26 [95% CI, 1.05-1.51] and 2.88 [95% CI, 2.25-3.68]). CONCLUSION This study suggests that AD itself is a risk factor of RRD in children by showing the association between AD and RRD occurrence and the biologic gradient even after adjustment for known confounders including allergic conditions, uveitis, and cataract surgery.

Abstract
The uterus is dynamically regulated in response to various signaling triggered by hormones during the estrous cycle. The Hippo signaling pathway is known as an important signaling for regulating cellular processes during development by balancing between cell growth and apoptosis. Serine/threonine protein kinase 3/4 (STK3/4) is a key component of the Hippo signaling network. However, the regulation of STK3/4-Hippo signaling in the uterus is little known. In this study, we investigated the regulation and expression of STK3/4 in the uterine endometrium during the estrous cycle. STK3/4 expression was dynamically regulated in the uterus during the estrous cycle. STK3/4 protein expression was gradually increased from the diestrus stage and reached the highest in the estrus stage. STK3/4 was exclusively localized in the luminal and glandular epithelial cells of the uterus, and phosphorylated STK3/4 was also increased at the estrus stage. Moreover, the increase of STK3/4 expression in uteri was induced by administration of estradiol, but not by progesterone injection in ovariectomized mice. Pretreatment with an estrogen receptor antagonist ICI 182,780 reduced estrogen-induced STK3/4 expression and its phosphorylation. The estrogen-induced STK3/4 expression was related to the increase in phosphorylation of downstream targets including LATS1/2 and YAP. These findings suggest that STK3/4-Hippo signaling acts a novel signaling pathway in the uterine epithelium and STK3/4-Hippo is one of key molecules for connecting between the estrogen downstream signaling pathway and the Hippo signaling pathway leading to regulate dynamic uterine epithelium during the estrous cycle.

Abstract
Development of a stable and prolonged gene delivery system is a key goal in the gene therapy field. To this end, we designed and fabricated a gene delivery system based on multiply-clustered gold particles that could achieve prolonged gene delivery in stem cells, leading to improved induction of differentiation. Methods: Inorganic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) underwent three rounds of complexation with catechol-functionalized polyethyleneimine (CPEI) and plasmid DNAs (pDNAs), in that order, with addition of heparin (HP) between rounds, yielding multiply-clustered gold-based nanoparticles (mCGNPs). Via metal-catechol group interactions, the AuNP surface was easily coordinated with positively charged CPEIs, which in turn allowed binding of pDNAs. Results: Negatively charged HP was encapsulated with the positive charge of CPEIs via electrostatic interactions, making the NPs more compact. Repeating the complexation process yielded mCGNPs with improved transfection efficiency in human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs); moreover, these particles exhibited lower cytotoxicity and longer expression of pDNAs than conventional NPs. This design was applied to induction of chondrogenesis in hMSCs using pDNA harboring SOX9, an important chondrogenic transcription factor. Prolonged expression of SOX9 induced by mCGNPs triggered expression of chondrocyte extracellular matrix (ECM) protein after 14 days, leading to more efficient chondrogenic differentiation in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
RNA interference (RNAi) plays important roles, and microRNAs (miRNAs) are used as biomarkers and targets in cell therapies. In this study, we fabricated miRNAs and short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) targeting the osteogenic RUNX2 gene to induce chondrogenesis of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). pDNA harboring these miRNAs and shRNAs was complexed with nanoparticles composed of dexamethasone and tetramethlyrhodamine-labeled branched polyethyleneimine (RDtNPs). The miRNAs and shRNAs reduced RUNX2 expression in hMSCs at early (12 h) and late (72 h) time points, respectively. Co-delivery of miRNAs and shRNAs resulted in rapid and sustained RUNX2 silencing. Moreover, dexamethasone in the nanoparticles enhanced chondrogenic differentiation. Gene and protein expression of RUNX2 was lower in hMSCs transfected with RDtNPs complexed with pDNA harboring miRNAs plus shRNAs for 72 h than in control hMSCs. Moreover, delivery of these miRNAs and shRNAs increased gene and protein expression of chondrogenic SOX9. These changes in expression facilitated the chondrogenic differentiation of hMSCs, as demonstrated by analysis of markers related to mature chondrocytes. Furthermore, histological and immunohistological analyses detected specific extracellular matrix and cartilage-related proteins in cultures of hMSCs transfected with these miRNAs and shRNAs.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Genetic alteration of Estrogen Receptor 1(ESR1) gene have been associated with acquired endocrine resistance and occurred in about 20% of endocrine resistant estrogen receptor(ER)-positive metastatic breast cancer(MBC). Mutations in ligand binding domain of ESR1 lead to constitutive activity of the ER without ligand estrogen and stimulated down stream cell growth signal. Therefore, ESR1 ligand binding domain alteration is known resistant mechanism of aromatase inhibitor. Among these ESR1 mutations, Y537S, one of the ligand binding domain mutations, caused ER antagonist, fulvestrant resistance. Therefore, assessment of ESR1 mutation in ER-positive MBC had significant benefit to further precision medicine for MBCs. In this study, we explored to identify the frequency and type of ESR1 genetic alterations of ER-positive MBC.
Methods: We performed targeted ultra-deep sequencing (CancerSCAN™) using BC tissue specimens. This sequencing was covered entire coding area of ESR1 gene and also detected copy number alteration and translocation of ESR1.
Results: Targeted ultra-deep sequencing of ESR1 was performed using 990 BC tissues. Of 990 tissue samples, 341(34.5%) were MBCs. Of MBCs, 112(11.3%) were ER-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-negative BCs. In ER-positive HER2-negative MBCs (N=112), 21 ESR1 genetic alterations were identified in 19 BCs (17.0%). Nineteen were single nucleotide variats (SNVs) and three were copy number (CN) amplification. Most commonly detected single nucleotide variant (SNV) was D538G (6 of 19, 31.6%) followed by Y537N, Y537S, V382I (4, 2 and 2 cases, respectively). Three mutations occurred in non-ligand binding domain (G415V, V392I and P79A). Two BC samples harbored two ESR1 mutations, respectively (Y537S and D538G, L536P and Y537N). In terms of treatment, 11 of 12 patients with ER-positive MBC harboring ESR1 mutation received palliative endocrine therapies. Eight patients received aromatase inhibitor and two patients received tamoxifen. One patient received letrozole plus palbociclib. In 2 MBCs with Y537S mutation, progression free survival (PFS) of endocrine therapy was 1.4 and 5.3 months. MBCs with D538G had 12.3months of PFS (range, 5.3-23.7(months)) and BCs harboring another ligand binding domain mutations (Y537N, L536H and L536P) had 15.7months of PFS of endocrine therapy (range, 8.4-17.3(months)). BC with mutation observed in non-lignand binding domain had short PFS (1.8 (V392I) and 2.7 (P79A) months, respectively). In terms of ESR1 CN amplification, patients could not receive endocrine therapy because their BCs rapidly progressed and extensive distant metastases were occurred within 3 months after curative surgery.
Conclusion: In this exploratory study, ESR1 genetic alterations were detected in about 20% of ER-positive MBC. The type of genetic alterations varied including SNVs, CNAs. Each locus of ESR1 mutation predicted endocrine resistance. In addition, we might suggest that ESR1 CN amplification is prognostic marker of ER-positive BCs.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction : A phase II, multicenter, randomized clinical trial of the comparison between eribulin plus gemcitabine (EG) and paclitaxel plus gemcitabine (PG) as first-line chemotherapy for patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC) found EG was less neurotoxic, but had similar efficacy of PG. In this study, we performed exploratory biomarker analysis of the impact of genetic alterations on the efficacy according to EG and PG chemotherapy.
Methods : This biomarker study was conducted using tumor samples from 40patients. When tissue collection was possible after disease progression, we performed paired sample analysis. Tumor DNA and RNA were extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. To perform targeted deep sequencing, we used CancerScanTM, a 375 cancer gene panel. And we performed an nCounter expression assay for gene expression analysis using 730 PanCancer panel and 730 Immune panel.
Results: In total, we obtained 44 tissue samples from 40 patients. Twenty two patients were assigned in EG arm and 18 patients were in PG arm. Thirty-eight were at baseline and six after disease progression. Gene expression assay were performed in 44 tissue samples but only 31 samples were possible to be targeted deep sequencing.
We performed differently expressed gene(DEG) analysis for detecting the association between level of gene expression and disease progression. In this analysis, high expression of CCNE1, TGFB4 and BAMBI and low expression of DDB2, CD14 and SHC3 were associated with disease progression among 730 PanCancer panel genes (p<0.05, respectively). In terms of immune panel genes, most of immune related genes were highly expressed in a group without disease progression compared with that with disease progression. Only 2 genes, C8G and CD24 were highly expressed in a group with disease progression. Paired sample analysis showed that expression levels of THBS4 and CD27 decreased after disease progression while those of CCNE2 and FGFR4 increased.
In targeted deep sequencing, FAT3 (42.3%) was most frequently mutated gene followed by PKHD1, PIK3CA and TP53. Among mutated genes, EWSR1 mutation and upstream mutation of ETV1 were associated with disease progression, respectively (p<0.05, respectively). In mutation signature analysis, signature 1 (S, age related), S3(homologous recombination deficiency, HRD), S6 (mismatch repair, MMR), S20(MMR) and S21(microsatellite instability, MSI) were enriched in this population. Mutation signature 3 related to short disease free survival (p=0.0026).
Conclusion: In gene expression analysis, high expression of TGF-B signaling pathway related genes was associated with disease progression while high expression of immune related genes were related to prolonged disease free survival. In mutation analysis, EWSR1 and ETV1 mutations indicated short disease free interval and HRD mutation signature was also related to poor prognosis.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND
Assessment of restoration of ovarian function after chemotherapy is critical with respect to the initiation of different types of endocrine treatment in young high risk breast cancer patients
METHODS
In total, 1289 women who remained premenopausal or resumed premenopausal status after chemotherapy were randomized to receive 5 years of tamoxifen or 5 years of tamoxifen plus 2 years of ovarian suppression. The patients who did not resume menstruation were followed up for 2 years with tamoxifen treatment after finishing chemotherapy. Prospectively collected consecutive post-chemotherapy hormone and menstruation data were available for 705 breast cancer patients who enrolled tamoxifen-only treatment group or did not resume menstruation during follow up. This analysis evaluated the proportion of patients with pre-menopausal FSH levels (<30 mIU/ml), E2 levels (340 pg/ml), and menstruation at any time point during treatment with tamoxifen.
RESULTS
During 5 years of tamoxifen treatment after chemotherapy for premenopausal breast cancer patients, 62% of patients resumed menstruation. Menstruation returned in 92% of patients under 35 years old but only in 31% of patients over 45 years old. Ovarian function, defined by serum FSH and E2 levels, resumed in 94% and 65% of patients, respectively, over 5 years. Most patients achieved ovarian function restoration during the first 2 years after chemotherapy, with 47.1% resuming menstruation and 86.2% and 50.3% achieving pre-menopausal FSH and E2 levels, respectively, in the first 2 years. Clinical factors related to menstruation restoration were younger age (HR = 6.38, 95% CI 1.33-3.47), 6 month hormone profile after chemotherapy (FSH<30: HR=1.67, 95% CI 1.28-2.17; E2 >40: HR=2.96, 95% CI 2.25-3.89), and anthracycline without taxane chemotherapy (HR=1.63, 95% CI 1.25-2.13).
CONCLUSIONS
During 5 years of tamoxifen treatment after chemotherapy, half of patients experienced menstruation restoration, including most very young patients under 35 years. The majority of patients experienced menstruation restoration in the first 2 years of tamoxifen treatment.

Abstract
Background Ell3 is a RNA polymerase II elongation factor that has various cell type-dependent functions, such as regulating the differentiation efficiency of embryonic stem cells and sensitizing cancer cells to anticancer drugs. However, there has been little research on the role of Ell3 on the regulation of senescence and apoptosis of stem cells. Methods We analyzed the senescence of Ell3-suppressed stem cells by mitochondrial activity, β-gal (+) cells, and lineage differentiation efficiency. The apoptosis of Ell3-overexpressing stem cells was analyzed by Annexin V staining, Immunoblot, and Live&dead assay. In addition, chromatin immunoprecipitation and luciferase assays were used to demonstrate p53 functions as a direct transcriptional activator of Ell3. Results Suppression of Ell3 expression induced senescence in stem cells by increasing Bcl-2 expression. Unlike the effect of Ell3 suppression, the ectopic expression of Ell3 induces apoptosis of stem cells and induces apoptosis of adjacent cells. In addition, p53 functions as a direct transcriptional activator of Ell3 during the stem cell apoptosis. Conclusions We suggest that the function of Ell3 is associated with the p53-Bcl2 axis in both senescent and apoptotic ADSCs.

Abstract
Background During differentiation of stem cells, it is recognized that molecular mechanisms of transcription factors manage stem cells towards the intended lineage. In this study, using microarray-based technology, gene expression profiling was examined during the process of chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). To induce chondrogenic differentiation of hMSCs, the cationic polymer polyethyleneimine (PEI) was coupled with the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX). DEX/PEI could be polyplexed with anionic plasmid DNAs (pDNAs) harboring the chondrogenesis-inducing factors SOX5, SOX6, and SOX9. These are named differentiation-inducing nanoparticles (DI-NPs). Methods A DI-NP system for inducing chondrogenic differentiation was designed and characterized by dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Chondrogenic induction of hMSCs was evaluated using various tools such as reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Western blotting, confocal fluorescent microscopy, and immunohistochemistry analysis. The gene expression profiling of DI-NP-treated hMSCs was performed by microarray analysis. Results The hMSCs were more efficiently transfected with pDNAs using DI-NPs than using PEI. Moreover, microarray analysis demonstrated the gene expression profiling of hMSCs transfected with DI-NPs. Chondrogenic factors including SOX9, collagen type II (COLII), Aggrecan, and cartilage oligometric matrix protein (COMP) were upregulated while osteogenic factors including collagen type I (COLI) was downregulated. Chondrogenesis-induced hMSCs were better differentiated as assessed by RT-PCR, Western blotting analyses, and immunohistochemistry. Conclusion DI-NPs are good gene delivery carriers and induce chondrogenic differentiation of hMSCs. Additionally, comprehensive examination of the gene expression was attempted to identify specific genes related to differentiation by microarray analysis. Graphical abstract ![]()

Abstract
In this paper, we propose an asymmetric split-loop resonator with an outer square loop (ASLR-OSL) based on vanadium dioxide (VO2) which can actively control the transmission characteristics of a terahertz wave while maintaining a high quality factor of the asymmetric split-loop resonator (ASLR) by adding an outer square loop. The proposed ASLR-OSL demonstrated transmission characteristics similar to those of ASLR, and the transmission characteristics of ASLR-OSL were successfully controlled by directly applying a bias voltage. These results show a simple method for imposing active properties on a common metamaterial having a high quality factor by adding a loop structure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various allergenic proteins are produced by house dust mites (HDM). However, the allergenicity and clinical implications of these allergens are unknown. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to identify allergens in Dermatophagoides farinae and elucidate the sensitization profiles to these in Korean patients suffering from respiratory (allergic rhinitis and/or asthma) and atopic dermatitis symptoms. METHODS IgE reactivities in sera from 160 HDM allergy patients were analysed by one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting. IgE-reactive components were identified by liquid chromatography-coupled electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry. Nine recombinant mite allergens (Der f 1, Der f 2, Der f 10, Der f 11, Der f 13, Der f 14, Der f 30, Der f 32 and Der f Alt a 10) were produced, and the IgE reactivity in sera to each was determined by ELISAs. RESULTS Der f 1 and Der f 2 were recognized by IgE in serum samples from 88.1% and 78.1% of all patients, respectively. Patients with respiratory allergies were mainly sensitized to these major allergens, whereas patients with atopic dermatitis symptoms showed polysensitization to major and minor allergen components (including Der f 11, Der f 13, Der f 14, Der f 32 and Der f Alt a 10). CONCLUSIONS Patients with respiratory allergic disease sensitize to major allergen components of HDM. Those with atopic dermatitis were sensitized to a broader range of minor allergen components of HDM (Der f 11, Der f 13, Der f 14, Der f 32 and Der f Alt a 10).

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of a commercially available porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV)-1 modified-live virus (MLV) vaccine against PRRSV-1 and PRRSV-2 challenge in late-term pregnancy gilts. Gilts were vaccinated with the PRRSV-1 MLV vaccine at 4 weeks prior to breeding and then challenged intranasally with PRRSV-1 or PRRSV-2 at 93 days of gestation. After PRRSV-1 challenge, vaccinated pregnant gilts had a significantly longer gestation period, significantly higher numbers of live-born and weaned piglets and a significantly lower number of stillborn piglets at birth compared to unvaccinated pregnant gilts. No significant improvement in reproductive performance was observed between vaccinated and unvaccinated pregnant gilts following PRRSV-2 challenge. Vaccinated pregnant gilts also exhibited a significantly improved reproductive performance after challenge with PRRSV-1 compared to vaccinated pregnant gilts following PRRSV-2 challenge. The PRRSV-1 MLV vaccine was able to reduce PRRSV-1 but not PRRSV-2 viremia in pregnant gilts. Vaccinated gilts also showed a significantly higher number of PRRSV-1-specific IFN-γ-secreting cells (IFN-γ-SC) compared to PRRSV-2-specific IFN-γ-SC. The data presented here suggest that the vaccination of pregnant gilts with a PRRSV-1 MLV vaccine provides good protection against PRRSV-1 but only limited protection against PRRSV-2 challenge in late-term pregnancy gilts based on improvement of reproductive performance, reduction in viremia and induction of IFN-γ-SC.

Abstract
Scuticociliatosis is a devastating and intractable protozoal disease in olive flounder, leading to a significant loss throughout the year. This study aimed to investigate a systemically effective antiscuticociliatosis agent for olive flounder for better absorption into the infected internal organs. The in vitro and in vivo antiscuticociliatosis effects of clioquinol (CQ) were examined after screening 30 biocidal agents against the highly pathogenic scuticociliate Miamiensis avidus. CQ was the most potent in vitro drug of those tested against cultured M. avidus. CQ was the least toxic in healthy olive flounder among the drugs that exhibit high potencies. In olive flounder, a single intramuscular injection of 40 mg/kg CQ significantly reduced mortality caused by artificial infection with M. avidus, and 10-20 mg/kg CQ increased fish survival times. CQ was also effective in naturally infected scuticociliatosis. Ciliate cell numbers were lower when CQ was injected in most organs, including the brain. CQ was well absorbed by the internal organs after intramuscular injection. This study suggests that CQ can be considered as a potential antiscuticociliatosis agent for systemic administration in olive flounder.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Anthracycline (AC) and/or trastuzumab (T) are the most commonly used for neo-/adjuvant therapy for early breast cancer. However, use of those regimens are limited owing to congestive heart failure (CHF). Although reported incidence from pivotal trials is very low and acceptable, no big data-based population study has not been conducted in Koreans yet. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence, time to occurrence, and risk factors for CHF in patients with early breast cancer, who were treated with AC and/or T therapy, in Korea.
Methods: We used the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database and included women with no prior history of CHF who were aged >19 years and diagnosed as having early breast cancer between 2007 and 2016. Only patients who had received breast cancer surgery and AC and/or T therapy were included. Patients with metastatic cancer codes were excluded.
Result: In total, 86,086 patients were included for this analysis. The incidence and median time to occurrence of CHF according to chemotherapy type were, 3.27% and 683.5 days in the AC only group, 6.39% and 374 days in the AC followed by T group, and 4.43% and 286 days in the T with or without non-AC group, respectively.
The multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for CHF was increased with older age; in those aged ≥65 years versus <50 years (HR, 2.79; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.50–3.12). The HR in the AC followed by T group was significantly higher than that in the AC only group (HR, 2.21; 95% CI, 2.05-2.37). The T with or without non-AC group also showed a significantly higher HR than the AC only group (HR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.37-2.04). CCI scores of ≥2 were significant predictors of CHF; score 2 versus 0 (HR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.18-1.45), and score ≥3 versus 0 (HR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.69-2.06). In addition, preexisting medical conditions were significant predictors for CHF: hypertension (HR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.45-1.72), diabetes (HR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.07-1.28), and ischemic heart disease (HR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.45-1.76).
Conclusion: This is the first big data-based population study in Korea on the development of CHF after treatment with AC and/or T. The overall incidence of CHF was 3% to 6%, with a median time to occurrence of 1 to 2 years. Adjusted HR increased with older age, AC followed by T therapy, CCI scores ≥2, and preexisting conditions.

Abstract
The timing of gene transfection greatly influences stem cell differentiation. Sequential transfection is crucial for regulation of cell behavior. When transfected several days after differentiation initiation, genes expressed at the late stage of differentiation can regulate cell behaviors and functions. To determine the optimal timing of key gene delivery, we sequentially transfected human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). This method can easily control osteogenesis of stem cells. hMSCs were first transfected with RUNX2 and SP7 using poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles to induce osteogenesis, and then with ATF4 after 5, 7, and 14 days. Prior to transfecting hMSCs with all three genes, each gene was individually transfected and its expression was monitored. Transfection of these genes was confirmed by RT-PCR, Western blotting, and confocal microscopy. The pDNAs entered the nuclei of hMSCs, and RUNX2 and SP7 proteins were translated and triggered osteogenesis. Second, the ATF4 gene was delivered when cells were at the pre-osteoblasts stage. To induce the osteogenesis of hMSCs, the optimal timing of ATF4 gene delivery was 14 days after RUNX2/SP7 transfection. Experiments in 2- and 3-dimensional culture systems confirmed that transfection of ATF4 at 14 days after RUNX2/SP7 promoted osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs.

Abstract
Stem cell therapy based on human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) has shown great promise for various disease treatments. However, traditional stem cell-mediated therapy is limited due to their multipotent differentiation ability (uncontrolled spontaneous differentiation) and the difficulty in monitoring cells after implantation in vivo. Here, we report a new multi-functional stem cell nanotracer (M-NT) for directing controlled differentiation through gene delivery, as well as tracking stem cells with dual-modal imaging (optical and CT imaging). The M-NT was prepared through a facile surface modification process of ∼100 nm-sized gold nanoparticles with catechol-functionalized branched polyethylenimine (C-bPEI). The C-bPEI-functionalized M-NT exhibited greatly enhanced long-term colloidal stability in aqueous solution and a capability to complex with plasmid DNA (pDNA; i.e., pEGFP) through electrostatic interaction for gene delivery and transfection to control differentiation. M-NT/pEGFP complexes showed an enhanced transfection efficiency into hMSCs with low cytotoxicity compared with branched polyethylenimine/pDNA complexes. Accordingly, successful in vitro chondrogenic differentiation was achieved in hMSCs treated with M-NT/pSOX9 complexes. Finally, hMSCs transfected with M-NT/pEGFP complexes were transplanted into Balb/c nude mice and successfully visualized through dual-modal optical fluorescence and computed tomography (CT) imaging. We believe that this approach could represent a promising platform for genetic material-mediated direction of differentiation and cell tracking in stem cell therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recently, the balance in immune system between immune surveillance and tolerance is known to be associated with the prognosis of breast cancer patients. The aim of this study was to investigate changes of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and programmed death-ligand1 (PD-L1) status after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and their impact on recurrence in patients with locally advanced breast cancer.
Methods
Paired samples (before and after NAC) of triple negative or HER2+ breast cancer tissue were obtained from clinical stage II or III patients (n=39) undergoing NAC and subsequent breast resection. The assessment of immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for PD-L1 were performed. Immunostaining of forkhead box P3 (Foxp3) and CD4/CD8 were performed for subtyping of TILs in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) only. Clinicopathologic data including baseline characteristics, tumor response and recurrence were reviewed.
Results
Proportion of PD-L1 (+) tumor cells in pre-chemotherapy tissue was 20% (5/25) in HER2+ and 28.6% (4/14) in TNBC. It could not predict pathologic complete response. Most post-chemotherapy tissue (21/24) showed same PD-L1 positivity with pre-chemotherapy tissue. The rest showed the decreased PD-L1 positivity after NAC.
In cases of TNBC, the increased number of CD8+ T cells was significantly associated with PD-L1 positivity in pre-chemotherapy tissue. (p=0.001) Foxp3+ T cell proportions decreased significantly (p=0.046) and CD8+/Foxp3+ T-cell ratio increased significantly (p=0.023) after NAC. The patients with increased number of CD8+ T cells after NAC had a tendency to live longer without recurrence compared to patients with decreased CD8+ T cells (62.3 vs 38.1 months, p=0.158).
Conclusion
Our data provides the clinical evidence that PD-L1 positivity are associated with CD8+ T cell proportion and increased CD8+ T cells after NAC might be good prognostic marker. The role of immunologic balance as a prognostic marker for recurrence must be evaluated in future study.

Abstract
Growth and differentiation factor 3 (GDF3), a mammalian-specific transforming growth factor β ligand, and OCT4, one of key stem cell transcription factors, are expressed in testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) as well as pluripotent stem cells. To understand the molecular mechanism by which OCT4 and GDF3 function in tumorigenesis as well as stemness, we investigated the transcriptional regulation of GDF3 mediated by OCT4 in human embryonic carcinoma (EC) NCCIT cells, which are pluripotent stem cells of TGCTs. GDF3 and OCT4 was highly expressed in undifferentiated NCCIT cells and then significantly decreased upon retinoic acid-induced differentiation in a time-dependent manner. Moreover, GDF3 expression was reduced by short hairpin RNA-mediated knockdown of OCT4 and increased by OCT4 overexpression, suggesting that GDF3 and OCT4 have a functional relationship in pluripotent stem cells. A promoter-reporter assay revealed that the GDF3 promoter (-1721-Luc) activity was significantly activated by OCT4 in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, the minimal promoter (-183-Luc) was sufficient for OCT4-mediated transcriptional activation and provided a potential binding site for the direct interaction with OCT4. Collectively, this study provides the evidence about the regulatory mechanism of GDF3 mediated by OCT4 in pluripotent EC cells.

Abstract
Transfection of a cocktail of genes into cells has recently attracted attraction in stem cell differentiation. However, it is not easy to control the transfection rate of each gene. To control and regulate gene delivery into human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), we employed multicistronic genes coupled with a nonviral gene carrier system for stem cell differentiation. Three genes, SOX5, SOX6, and SOX9, were successfully fabricated in a single plasmid. This multicistronic plasmid was complexed with the polycationic polymer polyethylenimine, and poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) nanoparticles were coated with this complex. The uptake of PLGA nanoparticles complexed with the multicistronic plasmid was tested first. Thereafter, transfection of SOX5, SOX6, and SOX9 was evaluated, which increased the potential for chondrogenesis of hMSCs. The expression of specific genes triggered by transfection of SOX5, SOX6, and SOX9 was tested by RT-PCR and real-time qPCR. Furthermore, specific proteins related to chondrocytes were investigated by a glycosaminoglycan/DNA assay, Western blotting, histological analyses, and immunofluorescence staining. These methods demonstrated that chondrogenesis of hMSCs treated with PLGA nanoparticles carrying this multicistronic genes was better than that of hMSCs treated with other carriers. Furthermore, the multicistronic genes complexed with PLGA nanoparticles were more simple than that of each single gene complexation with PLGA nanoparticles. Multicistronic genes showed more chondrogenic differentiation than each single gene transfection methods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Histamine H2 receptor antagonists are commonly prescribed medications and are known to be well tolerated. However, 99 cases of ranitidine-induced anaphylaxis occurred in Korea from 2007 to 2014. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence, clinical features, and diagnostic methods for ranitidine-induced anaphylaxis. METHODS Ranitidine-related pharmacovigilance data from 2007 to 2014 were reviewed. Adverse drug reactions with causal relationships were selected, and clinical manifestations, outcomes, and drug-related information were assessed. For further investigation, 8 years of pharmacovigilance data were collected at a single centre. Twenty-three patients participated in in vivo and in vitro studies. Skin tests, oral provocation tests, and laboratory tests were performed, including tests using other kinds of histamine H2 receptor antagonists. RESULTS Over 7 years, 584 patients suffered adverse reactions to ranitidine. The most common manifestation was cutaneous symptoms. Among them, 99 patients (17.0%) experienced anaphylaxis. In a single-centre study, skin prick tests were positive in 91.7% of ranitidine-induced anaphylaxis patients (11/12); the optimal concentration was 20 mg/mL. Detection of ranitidine-specific immunoglobulin E failed. Cimetidine and proton pump inhibitors showed no cross-reactivity with ranitidine based on the skin prick test, oral provocation test, or clinical determination. Surprisingly, 82.6% of patients reintroduced ranitidine and re-experienced the same adverse reactions because ranitidine was not considered the culprit drug. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Although ranitidine is known as a safe drug, it can also cause diverse adverse reactions, including anaphylaxis. This study demonstrates the need to pay attention to adverse reactions to ranitidine and consider ranitidine as a cause of anaphylaxis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE SIRT1 has anti-inflammatory as well as protective effects in chondrocytes. The object of this study was to investigate whether microRNA-449a regulates expression of SIRT1, which inhibits expression of catabolic genes in IL-1β-induced cartilage destruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS MicroRNA-449a expression was determined in OA chondrocytes and IL-1β-induced chondrocytes by real-time PCR. MicroRNA-449a binding sites on the 3'-UTR of SIRT1 mRNA and binding site conservation were examined using microRNA target prediction tools. SIRT1-overexpressing or knockdown chondrocytes were transfected with microRNA-449a or anti-microRNA-449a mimic and stimulated by IL-1β. Expression of catabolic and anabolic genes was examined by real-time PCR and western blotting. Finally, positive effects of anti-microRNA-449a on expression of these genes were confirmed by western analysis of OA chondrocytes. RESULTS Expression of microRNA-449a was increased in OA chondrocytes and IL-1β-induced chondrocytes. MMP-13 expression was enhanced, whereas type II collagen and SIRT1 expression were decreased in IL-1β-induced chondrocytes. SIRT1 overexpression resulted in decreased expression of catabolic genes such as MMPs and ADAMTSs in response to IL-1β, but these effects were moderated by microRNA-449a. Suppression of microRNA-449a by anti-microRNA-449a inhibited expression of catabolic genes despite IL-1β stimulation, but these effects were abolished in SIRT1 knockdown chondrocytes. Furthermore, expression of catabolic genes was decreased and expression of type II collagen as well as SIRT1 was restored by anti-microRNA-449a in OA chondrocytes as well as in IL-1β-induced chondrocytes. CONCLUSION Silencing of microRNA-449a had a protective effect, inhibiting catabolic gene expression and restoring anabolic gene expression, by targeting SIRT1 in IL-1β-induced cartilage destruction.

Abstract
Transfection of specific genes and transportation of proteins into cells have been a focus of stem cell differentiation research. However, it is not easy to regulate codelivery of a gene and a protein into cells. For codelivery into undifferentiated cells (human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs)), we used biodegradable carriers loaded with Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) protein and coated with bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) plasmid DNA (pDNA) to induce osteogenesis. The released gene and protein were first localized in the cytosol of transfected hMSCs, and the gene then moved into the nucleus. The levels of internalized PLGA nanoparticles were tested using different doses and incubation durations. Then, transfection of BMP2 pDNA was confirmed by determining mRNA and protein levels and acquiring cell images. The same techniques were used to assess osteogenesis of hMSCs both in vitro and in vivo upon internalization of PLGA NPs carrying the BMP2 gene and RUNX2 protein. Detection of specific genes and proteins demonstrated that cells transfected with PLGA NPs carrying both the BMP2 gene and RUNX2 protein were highly differentiated compared with other samples. Histological and immunofluorescence analyses demonstrated that transfection of PLGA nanoparticles carrying both the BMP2 gene and RUNX2 protein dramatically enhanced osteogenesis of hMSCs.

Abstract
PURPOSE This multi-center, randomized, phase III study was conducted to demonstrate the non-inferiority of DA-3031 compared with daily filgrastim in patients during the first cycle of chemotherapy for breast cancer in terms of the duration of severe neutropenia (DSN). METHODS Seventy-four patients with breast cancer who were receiving combination chemotherapy with docetaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide (TAC) were enrolled. All participants were randomized to receive either daily subcutaneous injections of filgrastim 100 μg/m2/day for up to 10 days or a single subcutaneous injection of DA-3031 at fixed doses of 6 mg on day 2 of each chemotherapy cycle. RESULTS The mean duration of grade 4 (G4) neutropenia in cycle 1 was 2.08 ± 0.85 days for the filgrastim group and 2.28 ± 1.14 days for the DA-3031 group. The difference between groups was 0.2 ± 1.10 days (95 % confidence interval (CI) = -0.26, 0.66), which supported non-inferiority. No statistically significant differences were observed in nadir absolute neutrophil count (ANC) (154.34/mm3 and 161.75/mm3 for the filgrastim and DA-3031 groups, respectively; P = 0.8414) or in time to ANC recovery (10.03 ± 0.75 and 9.83 ± 1.56 days in the filgrastim and DA-3031 groups, respectively; P = 0.0611) during cycle 1. Serious AEs occurred in six (15.8 %) patients receiving filgrastim and in ten (27.8 %) patients receiving DA-3031; however, none was determined to be related to the study drug. CONCLUSIONS DA-3031 and daily filgrastim are similar in regard to DSN and safety in breast cancer patients receiving TAC chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biodegradable microspheres fabricated from poly (Lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) have attracted considerable attention in the bone tissue regeneration field. In this study, rabbit mesenchymal stem cells (rMSCs) adherent to PLGA microspheres were implanted into athymic nude mice and irradiated with 647 nm red light to promote bone formation. It was found that irradiating rMSCs with high levels of red light (647 nm) from an LED (light-emitting diode) increased levels of bone specific markers in rMSCs embedded on PLGA microspheres. RESULT These increased expressions were observed by RT-PCR, real time-QPCR, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and von Kossa and Alizarin red S staining. Microsphere matrices coated with rMSCs were injected into athymic nude mice and irradiated with red light for 60 seconds showed significantly greater bone-specific phenotypes after 4 weeks in vivo. CONCLUSION The devised PLGA microsphere matrix containing rMSCs and irradiation with red light at 647 nm process shows promise as a means of coating implantable biomedical devices to improve their biocompatibilities and in vivo performances.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Endocrine therapy (E) has a major role in treatment of hormone receptor (HR)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). However, in contrast to western countries, premenopausal patients (PRE) more prevalent (50% of all breast cancer patients) and have less options of E than postmenopausal patients (POST) in Korea where the use of LHRH agonist in combination aromatase inhibitors (AIs) in PRE is restricted. Recently we have been successfully established nationwide cohort for the patients MBC (575 patients from 26 institutes). This study was designed to evaluate the role of E especially in PRE.
Methods
The patients with MBC were prospectively or retrospectively enrolled between September 2014 and May 2015. Only menopausal status-confirmed patients (296) were analyzed. Postmenopause was defined, based on NCCN guideline. Total duration of treatment was defined as the time from start day of any first treatment to end of any last treatment. Total duration of E was defined as the sum of time duration of each E. Overall survival was calculated from the start day of any treatment for MBC to any causes of death. This work is supported by National Strategic Coordinating Center for Clinical Research (H110C2020).
Results
A total of 296 patients with HR-positive MBC were analyzed [PRE, 169 (57.1%) and POST, 127 (42.9%)]. Except age (mean 44 and 60 years), baseline characteristics including in pathology, HER2 status, initial pathologic stage, de novo metastasis versus recurrence, surgery and adjuvant treatment (chemotherapy, endocrine therapy and radiotherapy) were well balanced. 92 (54.4%) of PRE and 77 (60.6%) of POST received at least one or more E through all treatment course. 41 (24.2%) of PRE and 44 (34.6%) received E as 1st-line treatment (p=0.034). Among PRE who received 1st-line of E, 30 (71.4%) and 9 (21.4%) of PRE received 2nd- and 3rd-line E. 20 (45.4%) and 10 (22.7%) of POST received 2nd- and 3rd- or more line of E. Most of PRE (54%) received tamoxifen+/-goserelin and 32% of PRE received AIs along with ovarian suppression. 71% of POST received AIs. As initial treatment, E was more frequently used in POST than in PRE (34.6% and 24.3%, p=0.053). Overall survival (OS) of all patients was 18.2 months (95% CI, 14.8-21.5). There was no difference in OS between PRE (17.8 months, 10.9-24.8) and POST (18.5 months, 95% CI, 13.2-23.9) (P=0.337). No difference of OS was observed (E, 18.1 moths, 95% CI, 13.0-23.3; chemotherapy 21.2 moths, 95% CI, 16.8-25.5), regardless of initial treatment. Total duration of treatment of PRE and POST were 15.2 and 13.6 months, respectively with no significant difference (p=0.389). PRE (8.3 moths, 95% CI,5.7-10.8) showed the trend toward longer duration of E in comparison with POST (5.5 moths, 95% CI,4.4-6.7), however the difference did not reach statistical significance (p=0.051).
Conclusion
E was more commonly used as 1st-line therapy in POST than in PRE. Although PRE had limited options of E, E was used in long duration of treatment especially in PRE. These findings suggested that E had a role in treatment for PRE with HR-positive MBC and could be used in treatment for PRE with good efficacy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recently, many clinical trials (TRIAL) especially incorporated with molecular-targeted agents are being conducted in treatment for breast cancer worldwide. However, the relation of participating clinical trials with survival has not been actively studied. This study was designed to evaluate whether participation in clinical trials could improve overall survival (OS) or not in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC), compared with conventional treatment.
Method
Korean Cancer Study Group (KCSG) has successfully established Nationwide Cohort in KOREA to conduct diachronic analysis (KCSG BR 14-07). Clinical data for patients with MBC were collected from this Cohort. OS was defined as the time duration from first diagnosis of metastasis to any cause of death. This work is supported by National Strategic Coordinating Center for Clinical Research (H110C2020).
Results
A total of 575 patients with metastatic breast from 26 institutes in KOREA cancer MBC were consequently enrolled between September 2014 and May 2015. 156 (27.1%) of patients were enrolled to at least one or more clinical trials and 419 patients received only conventional treatment (CONV). Age, hormone status, HER2 status, initial pathologic stage, metastasis versus recurrence, adjuvant treatment, ECOG performance status (PS) (0, 1 vs 2 or more) were similar between TRIAL and CONV. 30% of trials were associated with HER2-targeted agents. As initial treatment, chemotherapy was more frequently used in TRIAL (85.9%) than in CONV (79.0%) (P=0.038). Number of regimens of chemotherapy was greater in TRIAL (2.9+/-1.8) than CONV (2.1+/-1.6) (P<0.001). Number of regimens of endocrine therapy (E) was similar between TRIAL (1.4+/-0.6) and CONV (1.5+/-0.7) (P=0.474). Overall survival of all patients was 16.2 months (95% CI, 14.1-18.1). TRIAL showed significant prolongation of survival, compared with CONV [21.1 (95% CI, 17.7-24.6) vs 15.1 months (95% CI, 13.1-17.2); P=0.005]. The differences in OS was constantly observed in HER2-positive [23.8 (16.7-30.9) vs 17.2 months (95% CI, 12.4-21.9); P=0.018] and Triple-negative [15.4 (10.5-20.3) vs 12.0 months (95% CI, 10.2-13.8); P=0.025]. In multivariate analysis, initial metastasis, hormone status, ECOG PS did not influence on OS between TRIAL and CONV (P=0.849)
Conclusion
Participating in clinical trials could be associated with prolongation of survival. This results constantly maintained in HER2-positive and triple-negative MBC. These findings suggested that clinical trials are useful for the patients with MBC, even if the patients do not complete the standard treatment.
