Role of polyamines in intestinal mucosal barrier function.
Semin Immunopathol
January 2025
Dairy Science and Technology Institute, Kyodo Milk Industry Co. Ltd, 20-1 Hirai, Hinode-Machi, Nishitama-Gun, Tokyo, 190-0182, Japan.
The intestinal epithelium is a rapidly self-renewing tissue; the rapid turnover prevents the invasion of pathogens and harmful components from the intestinal lumen, preventing inflammation and infectious diseases. Intestinal epithelial barrier function depends on the epithelial cell proliferation and junctions, as well as the state of the immune system in the lamina propria. Polyamines, particularly putrescine, spermidine, and spermine, are essential for many cell functions and play a crucial role in mammalian cellular homeostasis, such as that of cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, and maintenance, through multiple biological processes, including translation, transcription, and autophagy.

Aims: Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are common cardiac complications of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Exercise stress echocardiography is often used in symptomatic patients with SSc to detect abnormal increases in pulmonary pressures during exercise, but the pathophysiologic and prognostic significance of exercise stress echocardiography to assess the presence of HFpEF in these patients is unclear.
Methods And Results: Patients with SSc (n=140) underwent ergometry exercise stress echocardiography with simultaneous expired gas analysis.
In Vitro Formation of Actin Ring in the Fission Yeast Cell Extracts.
Cytoskeleton (Hoboken)
January 2025
Department of Life Science, Faculty of Science, Gakushuin University, Mejiro, Tokyo, Japan.
Cytokinesis in animal and fungal cells requires the contraction of actomyosin-based contractile rings formed in the division cortex of the cell during late mitosis. However, the detailed mechanism remains incompletely understood. Here, we aim to develop a novel cell-free system by encapsulating cell extracts obtained from fission yeast cells within lipid vesicles, which subsequently leads to the formation of a contractile ring-like structure inside the vesicles.

FASEB J
January 2025
August Krogh Section for Human and Molecular Physiology, Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark.
The kinases AMPK, and mTOR as part of either mTORC1 or mTORC2, are major orchestrators of cellular growth and metabolism. Phosphorylation of mTOR Ser1261 is reportedly stimulated by both insulin and AMPK activation and a regulator of both mTORC1 and mTORC2 activity. Intrigued by the possibilities that Ser1261 might be a convergence point between insulin and AMPK signaling in skeletal muscle, we investigated the regulation and function of this site using a combination of human exercise, transgenic mouse, and cell culture models.

Arch Insect Biochem Physiol
January 2025
College of Agriculture, Ibaraki University, Inashiki, Japan.
Aphids exhibit a unique reproductive strategy known as pseudoplacental viviparity, in which embryos develop internally and are thought to receive nutrients such as sugars and amino acids directly from the maternal hemolymph through an ovariole sheath, bypassing the need for traditional yolk storage. This system enables viviparous aphids to adapt to diverse and potentially stressful environments by transmitting maternal environmental cues that influence transgenerational plasticity. However, the mechanisms underlying this nutrient-mediated plasticity are poorly understood.
