Abstract Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) has been considered as a potentially curative treatment option for refractory or relapsed diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. However, there is little information available, especially for Japanese patients and in cord blood transplantation (CBT). We aimed to determine treatment outcomes of allo-SCT for DLBCL in the Kyoto Stem Cell Transplantation Group, a multi-institutional joint research group....

Abstract In the analysis of current life science datasets, we often encounter scenarios in which the application of asymptotic theory to hypothesis testing can be problematic. Besides improved asymptotic results, permutation/simulation‐based tests are a general approach to address this issue. However, these randomized tests can impose a massive computational burden, for example, in scenarios in which large numbers of statistical tests are computed, and the specified significance level is very small....

Different Musa species, subspecies, and cultivars are currently investigated to reveal their genomic diversity. Here, we compare the genome sequence of one of the commercially most important cultivars, Musa acuminata Dwarf Cavendish, against the Pahang reference genome assembly. Numerous small sequence variants were detected and the ploidy of the cultivar presented here was determined as triploid based on sequence variant frequencies. Illumina sequence data also revealed a duplication of a large...
The relationship of genotypes to phenotypes can be modified by environmental inputs. Such crucial environmental inputs include metabolic cues derived from microbes living together with animals. Thus, the analysis of genetic effects on animals' physiology can be confounded by variations in the metabolic profile of microbes. Caenorhabditis elegans exposed to distinct bacterial strains and species exhibit phenotypes different at cellular, developmental, and behavioral levels. Here we reported metabolomic...

Recently, we saw the breakthroughs in drug development for Alzheimer disease. The Chinese regulatory authority (NMPA) approved GV-971 (Oligomannate) for the treatment of mild and moderate Alzheimer’s disease. GV-971 is the first drug approved anywhere in the world for Alzheimer’s disease since 2003. While other Alzheimer’s drugs are developed based on the beta-amyloid theory, GV-971 targets a different mechanism. Based on the pre-clinical studies, GV-971 remodeled the gut microbiome in a way that...

Rationale: Lymphatic tracers can help visualize the lymphatic drainage patterns and sentinel nodes of individual prostate cancer patients. To determine the role of nuclear medicine, in particular the positional guidance of a SPECT/CT-based 3D imaging roadmap, in this process we studied to which extend fluorescence-guidance underestimated the number of target lesions. Methods: SPECT/CT imaging was performed after intraprostatic tracer administration of either ICG-99mTc-nanocolloid (hybrid tracer...
18F-PI-2620 is a positron emission tomography (PET) tracer with high binding affinity for aggregated tau, a key pathologic feature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative disorders. Preclinically, 18F-PI-2620 binds to both, 3R and 4R tau isoforms. The purpose of this first-in-human study was to evaluate the ability of 18F-PI-2620 to detect tau pathology in AD patients using PET imaging, as well as to assess its safety and tolerability of this new tau PET tracer. Methods: Participants...
By contributing to non-invasive molecular imaging and radioguided surgery, nuclear medicine has been instrumental in the realization of precision medicine. During the last decade it has also became apparent that nuclear medicine (e.g., in the form of bimodal/hybrid tracers) can help empower fluorescence guided surgery. More specifically, when using hybrid tracers, lesions can be non-invasively identified and localized with a high sensitively and precision (guided by the radioisotope) and ultimately...
18F-PI-2620 is a next generation tau positron emission tomography (PET)-tracer that has demonstrated ability to image the spatial distribution of suspected tau pathology. The objective of this study was to assess the tracer biodistribution, dosimetry and quantitative methods of 18F-PI-2620 in the human brain. Full kinetic modelling approaches to quantify tau load were investigated. Non-invasive kinetic modeling approaches and semi-quantitative methods were evaluated against the full tracer kinetics....

Striated muscle is activated by myosin- and actin-linked processes, with the latter being regulated through changes in the position of tropomyosin relative to the actin surface. The C-terminal region of cardiac troponin T (TnT), a tropomyosin-associated protein, is required for full TnT inactivation at low Ca2+ and for limiting its activation at saturating Ca2+. Here, we investigated whether basic residues in this TnT region are involved in these activities, whether the TnT C terminus undergoes Ca2+-dependent...
Bone morphogenetic protein 10 (BMP10) is a cardiac peptide growth factor, belonging to the transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) superfamily, that critically controls cardiovascular development, growth, and maturation. It has been shown that BMP10 elicits its intracellular signaling through a receptor complex of activin receptor–like kinase 1 (ALK1) with morphogenetic protein receptor type II (BMPR2A) or activin receptor type-2A (ActR2A). Previously, we generated and characterized a transgenic mouse...
The reverse transcriptases (RTs) encoded by mobile group II introns and other non-LTR-retroelements differ from retroviral RTs in being able to template switch efficiently from the 5' end of one template to the 3' end of another with little or no complementarity between the donor and acceptor templates. Here, to establish a complete kinetic framework for the reaction and identify conditions that more efficiently capture acceptor RNAs or DNAs, we used a thermostable group II intron RT (TGIRT; GsI-IIC...
Successes and challenges in simulating the folding of large proteins [Protein Structure and Folding]
Computational simulations of protein folding can be used to interpret experimental folding results, to design new folding experiments and to test the effects of mutations and small molecules on folding. However, while major experimental and computational progress has been made in understanding how small proteins fold, research on larger, multi-domain proteins, which comprise the majority of proteins, is less advanced. Specifically, large proteins often fold via long-lived partially folded intermediates,...
The ferric iron uptake (Fiu) transporter from Escherichia coli functions in the transport of iron–catecholate complexes across the bacterial outer membrane, providing the bacterium with iron, which is essential for growth. Recently, it has become clear that Fiu also represents a liability for E. coli because its activity allows the import of antimicrobial compounds that mimic catecholate. This inadvertent import suggests the potential utility of antimicrobial catechol-siderophore mimetics in managing...
The tnaC regulatory gene from the tna operon of Escherichia coli controls the transcription of its own operon through an attenuation mechanism relying on the accumulation of arrested ribosomes during inhibition of its own translation termination. This free L-Trp dependent mechanism of inhibition of translation termination remains unclear. Here, we analyzed the inhibitory effects of L-Trp on the function of two known E. coli translation termination factors, RF1 and RF2. Using a series of reporter...
In cancer, aberrant growth factor receptor signaling reprograms cellular metabolism and global gene transcription to drive aggressive growth, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood.
