in human atherosclerotic plaque and inhibit adult human monocyte chemotaxis. Few data exist, however, regarding the gene expression profiles of the ephrin (EFN) and Eph receptor (EPH) family of genes in atherosclerosis-related human cells. Gene expression profiles were determined of all 21 members of this gene family in atherosclerosis-related cells by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis. The following 17 members were detected in adult human peripheral blood monocytes: EFNA1 and EFNA3 - EFNA5 (coding for ephrins A1 and A3 - A5); EPHA1, EPHA2, EPHA4 - EPHA6 and EPHA8 (coding for Eph receptors A1, A2, A4 - A6 and A8); EFNB1 and EFNB2 (coding for ephrins B1 and B2); and EPHB1 - EPHB4 and EPHB6 (coding for Eph receptors B1 - B4 and B6). THP-1 monocytic cells, Jurkat T cells and adult arterial endothelial cells also expressed multiple EFN and EPH genes. These results indicate that a wide variety of ephrins and Eph receptors might affect monocyte chemotaxis, contributing to the development of atherosclerosis. Their pathological significance requires further study. © 2011 Field House Publishing LLP.

ular (LV) hypertrophy, few data exist regarding the relationships between RAS polymorphisms and alteration of LV function. The effect of RAS polymorphisms on LV function in genotyped hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) was examined in the present study. Methods and Results: The study group comprised 126 carriers with sarcomere gene mutations from 49 HCM families (64 males, mean age 51±21 years). LV morphology and function were evaluated by echocardiography. In angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D), the D allele (n=81) exhibited significantly larger LV end-systolic dimension (LVDs) (32±11 mm) and lower ejection fraction (56±15%) than those with the II genotype (28±7 mm and 62±12%, respectively, P<0.05; n=45). Although angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1-R) A/C1166 polymorphism did not affect echocardiographic parameters, the presence of the ACE D allele with the AT1-R C1166 allele (n=9) was associated with larger LVDs (37±17 mm) and lower ejection fraction (48±20%) compared with other genotypes (30±9 mm and 58±14%, respectively, P<0.05; n=117). Under these conditions, severe LV hypertrophy was frequently associated with LV wall thinning. Conclusions: The presence of both the ACE D and AT1-R C1166 allele is associated with LV dilation with systolic dysfunction in genotyped HCM. In addition to the severity of LV hypertrophy, screening for these RAS polymorphisms could contribute to further risk stratification of patients with HCM, although other genetic polymorphisms should be further examined.<br />出版者照会後に全文公開

ension and cardiovascular complications. In PA, hypomethylation of aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) is associated with aldosterone overproduction. However, in hypercortisolemia, the role of DNA methylation of 11β-hydroxylase (CYP11B1), which catalyzes cortisol biosynthesis and is highly homologous to CYP11B2, is unclear. The aims of our study were to determine whether the CYP11B1 expression was regulated through DNA methylation in hypercortisolemia with cortisol-producing adenoma (CPA), and to investigate a possible relationship between DNA methylation and somatic mutations identified in CPA. Methylation analysis showed that the CYP11B1 promoter was significantly less methylated in CPA than in adjacent unaffected adrenal tissue and white blood cells. Furthermore, in CPA with somatic mutations in either the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A (PRKACA) or the guanine nucleotide-binding protein subunit alpha (GNAS) gene, the CYP11B1 promoter was significantly hypomethylated. In addition, DNA methylation reduced CYP11B1 promoter activity using a reporter assay. Our study results suggest that DNA methylation at the CYP11B1 promoter plays a role in the regulation of CYP11B1 expression and cortisol production in CPA, and that somatic mutations associated with CPA reduce DNA methylation at the CYP11B1 promoter. © 2017 The Author(s).

ach promoter gives rise to a CYP19 mRNA species with a unique 5′-untranslated region. Inhibition of aromatase has been reported to downregulate lung tumor growth. The genetic basis for CYP19 gene expression and aromatase activity in lung cancer remains poorly understood. We analyzed tissues from 15 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to evaluate CYP19 promoter usage and promoter-specific aromatase mRNA levels in NSCLC tumor tissues and adjacent non-malignant tissues. CYP19 promoter usage was determined by multiplex RT-PCR and aromatase mRNA levels were measured with real-time RT-PCR. In non-malignant tissues, aromatase mRNA was primarily derived from activation of CYP19 promoter I.4. Although promoter I.4 usage was also dominant in tumor tissues, I.4 activation was significantly lower compared with adjacent non-malignant tissues. Activity of promoters I.3, I.1 and I.7 was significantly higher in tumor tissues compared with non-malignant tissues. In 4 of 15 cases of non-small cell lung cancer, switching from CYP19 promoter I.4 to the alternative promoters II, I.1 or I.7 was observed. In 9 cases, there were significantly higher levels of aromatase mRNA in lung tumor tissues compared with adjacent non-malignant tissues. These findings suggest aberrant activation of alternative CYP19 promoters that may lead to upregulation of local aromatase expression in some cases of NSCLC. Further studies are needed to examine the impact of alternative CYP19 promoter usage on local estrogen levels and lung tumor growth. © 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

is. Nuclear receptor families NR4A [nerve growth factor-induced clone B (NGFIB), Nur-related factor 1 (NURR1) and neuron-derived orphan receptor 1 (NOR1)] and NR2F [chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter-transcription factor 1 (COUP-TFI), COUP-TFII and NR2F6) activate, whereas NR5A1 [steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1)] represses CYP11B2 (aldosterone synthase) gene transcription. The present study was undertaken to elucidate the mechanism of differential regulation of nuclear receptors between cardiovascular and adrenal tissues. Methods: We collected tissues of artery (n = 9), cardiomyopathy muscle (n = 9), heart muscle (noncardiomyopathy) (n = 6), adrenal gland (n = 9) and aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) (n = 9). 5′-rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) identified transcription start sites. Multiplex reverse-transcription PCR (RT-PCR) determined use of alternative noncoding exons 1 (ANEs). Results: In adrenocortical H295R cells, angiotensin II, KCl or cAMP, all stimulated CYP11B2 transcription and NR4A was upregulated, whereas NR2F and NR5A1 were downregulated. 5′-RACE and RT-PCR revealed four ANEs of NGFIB (NR4A1), three of NURR1 (NR4A2), two of NOR1 (NR4A3) and two of SF1 (NR5A1) in cardiovascular and adrenal tissues. Quantitative multiplex RT-PCR showed NR4A and NR5A1 differentially employed multiple ANEs in a tissue-specific manner. The use of ANEs of NGFIB and NURR1 was significantly different between APA and artery. Changes in use of ANEs of NGFIB and NOR1 were observed between cardiomyopathy and noncardiomyopathy. The NR4A mRNA levels in artery were high compared with cardiac and adrenal tissues, whereas the NR5A1 mRNA level in adrenal tissues was extremely high compared with cardiovascular tissues. Conclusion: NR4A and NR5A1 genes are complex in terms of alternative promoter use. The use of ANEs may be associated with the pathophysiology of the heart and adrenal gland. © 2011 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.

associated with metabolic syndrome. This study assessed the effects of MR blockade by eplerenone (EPL) and spironolactone (SPL) on blood pressure (BP) and metabolic factors in patients with PA. Fifty-four patients with PA were treated with one of two MRAs, EPL (25-100 mg daily, n=27) or SPL (12.5-100 mg daily, n=27) for 12 months. Visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue were quantified using CT and FatScan imaging analysis software. Body mass index, homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), serum creatinine, potassium and lipids, urinary albumin excretion (UAE) and plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) and plasma renin activity (PRA) were measured before and after treatment. EPL and SPL decreased BP and increased serum potassium levels to similar degrees. PAC and PRA did not differ between the two groups. Although treatment with the MRAs did not change HOMA-IR or serum lipids, they significantly decreased UAE and VAT (P<0.05). These results suggest that EPL and SPL are effective and safe for the treatment of PA. The long-term metabolic and renal effects of these MRAs should be further investigated. © 2016 The Japanese Society of Hypertension. All rights reserved.<br />Embargo Period 6 months

f this study was to identify differences between fasting and postprandial TG levels, focusing on the influence of waist circumference. Methods: Subjects included 1,505 men and 798 women aged 3865 years who were not taking medications for diabetes or dyslipidemia. Fasting TG levels were measured after an overnight fast, and postprandial TG levels were measured 2 hours after a standardized rice-based lunch (total 740 kcal, 20 g fat, 30 g protein, and 110 g carbohydrates) in the afternoon on the same day. Results: Fasting and postprandial TG levels were highly correlated in both men (r=0.86, p<0.001) and women (r=0.84, p<0.001). Waist circumference was positively correlated with fasting TG (r=0.38 in men and r=0.36 in women) and postprandial TG (r=0.42 in men and r=0.45 in women), respectively. On multiple regression analyses, the association of waist circumference with postprandial TG was still significant (standardized β=0.10 in men and standardized β=0.15 in women, p<0.001) after the inclusion of HbA1c, age, high-density-lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, alcohol consumption, and fasting TG in the regression model. Conclusion: Postprandial TG has a better relation with waist circumference than fasting TG.<br />出版者照会後に全文公開

not previously been reported. Case Presentation: A 21-year-old Japanese woman presented with galactorrhea and decreased visual acuity.A large pituitary adenoma with an increased level of serum prolactin was apparent by computed tomography. She additionally showed mild hypertension (136/90mmHg)accompanied by hypokalemia. The plasma aldosterone concentration was increased. Computed tomography showed a mass in the right adrenal gland. No other tumors were found despite extensive imaging studies. Physical and radiographic examinations showed skeletal malformations of the hands and feet, including hypoplasia of the first digit in all four limbs. An atrial septal defect was demonstrated by echocardiography. Similar digital and cardiac abnormalities were detected in our patient's father, and a clinical diagnosis ofhereditary heart-hand syndrome was made. Conclusion: No established heart-hand syndrome was wholly compatible with the family's phenotype. Her father had no obvious endocrine tumors, implying that the parent of transmission determined variable phenotypic expression of the disease: heart-hand syndrome with multiple endocrine tumors from the paternal transmission or no endocrine tumor from the maternal transmission. This suggests that the gene or genes responsible for the disease may be under tissue-specific imprinting control.

ective of this study was to investigate age-related changes in abdominal fat distribution of Japanese men and women of the general population over a wide range of body mass indices (BMI). Methods A total of 2,220 non-diabetic, apparently healthy Japanese adults (1,240 men and 980 women; age range 40-69 years) were included in the study sample. All subjects underwent a CT scan at the level of the umbilicus, and the areas of visceral adipose tissue (AT) and subcutaneous AT were quantified. Results When the subjects were stratified by BMI into 18.5-23.0 kg/m2, 23.0-27.5 kg/m2, and 27.5 kg/m2 or higher, visceral AT was positively correlated with age in all of the BMI strata in both genders (p<0.01). In contrast, subcutaneous AT was negatively correlated with age in men with BMIs in excess of 23.0 kg/m2 (p< 0.01) and not at all in women. The mean levels of subcutaneous AT were over 2-fold greater than visceral AT in women aged 60-69 years in any BMI stratum. Conclusion In Japanese men and women, visceral AT was increased with age in all BMI strata in both genders, whereas subcutaneous AT was decreased with age in men with BMIs in excess of 23.0 kg/m2 and not at all in women. Even with these age-related changes in abdominal fat distribution, women retained the subcutaneous-dominant type of fat distribution up to 70 years. © 2011 The Japanese Society of Internal Medicine.

lyceride (RLP-TG) elevated in the insulin resistant state, few data exist regarding the relationship between RBP4 and RLP-TG. Subjects and Methods. The study included 92 Japanese type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) male patients (age 60.5 ± 13.6 years, body mass index (BMI) 24.7 ± 4.1 kg/m2, waist circumference (WC) 88.4 ± 10.7 cm, and HbA1c (NGSP) 7.2 ± 1.9 %). Patients on medications affecting insulin sensitivity, including fibrates, biguanides, and thiazolidinedione, were excluded. Visceral fat area (VFA) and subcutaneous fat area (SFA) were measured by computed tomography. Results. RBP4 levels showed a significant positive correlation with RLP-TG (r = 0.2544 and P = 0.0056), TG (r = 0.1852 and P = 0.041), RLP-TG/TG (r = 0.23765 and P = 0.0241), and age (r = - 0.2082 and P = 0.0219), although there was no significant correlation with VFA, SFA, adiponectin levels, or homeostasis model of assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-R). Multiple regression analysis revealed that RBP4 was an independent determinant of RLP-TG (P = 0.0193) but was not a determinant of TG. Conclusions. RBP4 correlates positively with serum RLP-TG independent of fat accumulation in T2DM. RBP4 may regulate remnant metabolism independent of glycemic control in T2DM. © 2013 Naoto Yamaaki et al.

d insulin resistance. We aimed to determine whether a stronger association of VAT compared to subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) with insulin resistance could be confirmed and generalized in non-diabetic Japanese men and women. Methods: Participants were 912 non-diabetic Japanese (636 men and 276 women, mean age 52.4±7.0 years, and mean BMI 24.9±3.1 kg/m2). VAT and SAT were measured through the use of computed tomography scanning. Homeostatic model for the assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and Matsuda insulin sensitivity index (ISI) were calculated based on results from the oral glucose tolerance test. Results: For both genders, subjects in higher tertiles of SAT as well as VAT showed significantly higher levels of HOMA-IR and lower levels of Matsuda ISI (p<0.001). In multiple regression analyses with VAT and SAT included in the model, only VAT, but not SAT, was independently associated with Matsuda ISI in women (p<0.001), whereas both SAT and VAT were independently associated with HOMA-IR and with Matsuda ISI in men (p<0.001). When VAT and waist circumference were jointly included in the model, only VAT, but not waist circumference, was independently associated with Matsuda ISI in women (p<0.001) but not in men. Conclusion: VAT had a stronger association with insulin resistance than SAT or waist circumference in women but not in men. BMI showed a comparable association with insulin resistance to VAT in this population.<br />出版者照会後に全文公開

rked increase in the plasma insulin level and impaired glucose tolerance. The patient exhibited a high titer of plasma anti-insulin autoantibodies. Her diagnosis was insulin autoimmune syndrome (IAS). Following the cessation of loxoprofen-sodium (LOXs), she experienced no further hypoglycemic episodes. However, the hypoglycemic attacks recurred following the accidental readministration of LOXs in an adhesive skin patch. Considering the changes in the titer of anti-insulin autoantibodies, the repeated 75 gOGTT and the repeated Scatchard analysis, we determined LOXs to be the cause of the IAS and evaluated the characteristics of the autoantibodies. © 2013 by The Japanese Society of Internal Medicine.

c adenosine 5'diphosphate-(ADP-) ribose (cADPR) as a second messenger in various mammalian cells, including pancreatic beta cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Since PBMCs contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy, ADPRCA of PBMCs could serve as a clinical prognostic marker for diabetic nephropathy. This study aimed to investigate the connection between ADPRCA in PBMCs and diabetic complications. METHODS: PBMCs from 60 diabetic patients (10 for type 1 and 50 for type 2) and 15 nondiabetic controls were fluorometrically measured for ADPRCA based on the conversion of nicotinamide guanine dinucleotide (NGD(+)) into cyclic GDP-ribose. RESULTS: ADPRCA negatively correlated with the level of HbA1c (P = .040, R(2) = .073), although ADPRCA showed no significant correlation with gender, age, BMI, blood pressure, level of fasting plasma glucose and lipid levels, as well as type, duration, or medication of diabetes. Interestingly, patients with nephropathy, but not other complications, presented significantly lower ADPRCA than those without nephropathy (P = .0198) and diabetes (P = .0332). ANCOVA analysis adjusted for HbA1c showed no significant correlation between ADPRCA and nephropathy. However, logistic regression analyses revealed that determinants for nephropathy were systolic blood pressure and ADPRCA, not HbA1c. CONCLUSION/INTERPRETATION: Decreased ADPRCA significantly correlated with diabetic nephropathy. ADPRCA in PBMCs would be an important marker associated with diabetic nephropathy.
