Isolated neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were stimulated with phenylephrine and treated with D-Allose simultaneously for 48 h. D-Allose treatment resulted in a pronounced reduction in cardiomyocyte size and cardiac remodelling markers accompanied with a dramatic reduction in the level of intracellular glucose in phenylephrine-stimulated cells. The metabolic flux analysis provided further insights revealing that D-Allose exerted a remarkable inhibition of glycolysis as well as glycolytic capacity. Furthermore, in mice subjected to a 14-day continuous infusion of isoproterenol (ISO) to induce cardiac hypertrophy, D-Allose treatment via drinking water notably reduced ISO-induced cardiac hypertrophy and remodelling markers, with minimal effects on ventricular wall thickness observed in echocardiographic analyses.

Serum ferritin, a marker of body iron storage, is elevated in various cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension. However, the associated changes in iron absorption and the mechanism underlying increased iron content in a hypertensive state remain unclear. The C57BL6/J mice were treated with ANG II to generate a model of hypertension. Mice were divided into three groups: (1) control, (2) ANG II-treated, and (3) ANG II-treated and ANG II receptor blocker (ARB)-administered (ANG II-ARB) groups. Mice treated with ANG II showed increased serum ferritin levels compared to vehicle-treated control mice. In ANG II-treated mice, duodenal divalent metal transporter-1 and ferroportin (FPN) expression levels were increased and hepatic hepcidin mRNA expression and serum hepcidin concentration were reduced. The mRNA expression of bone morphogenetic protein 6 and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha, which are regulators of hepcidin, was also down-regulated in the livers of ANG II-treated mice.

Serum ferritin, a marker of body iron storage, is elevated in various cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension. However, the associated changes in iron absorption and the mechanism underlying increased iron content in a hypertensive state remain unclear. The C57BL6/J mice were treated with ANG II to generate a model of hypertension. Mice were divided into three groups: (1) control, (2) ANG II-treated, and (3) ANG II-treated and ANG II receptor blocker (ARB)-administered (ANG II-ARB) groups. Mice treated with ANG II showed increased serum ferritin levels compared to vehicle-treated control mice. In ANG II-treated mice, duodenal divalent metal transporter-1 and ferroportin (FPN) expression levels were increased and hepatic hepcidin mRNA expression and serum hepcidin concentration were reduced. The mRNA expression of bone morphogenetic protein 6 and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha, which are regulators of hepcidin, was also down-regulated in the livers of ANG II-treated mice. In terms of tissue iron content, macrophage iron content and renal iron content were increased by ANG II treatment, and these increases were associated with reduced expression of transferrin receptor 1 and FPN and increased expression of ferritin.

In the kidneys of UUO mice, divalent metal transporter 1, ferroportin, and ferritin expression was higher and transferrin receptor expression was lower than in sham-operated mice. Increased renal iron content was observed in UUO mice, which was reduced by DFO treatment. These results suggest that iron reduction by DFO prevents renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis by regulating TGF-β-Smad signaling, oxidative stress, and inflammatory responses."},"publication_date":"2014-02-19","publication_name":{"en":"PLoS ONE","ja":"PLoS ONE"},"volume":"9","number":"2","starting_page":"e89355","ending_page":"e89355","languages":["eng"],"referee":true,"identifiers":{"doi":["10.1371/journal.pone.0089355"],"issn":["1932-6203"]},"published_paper_type":"scientific_journal"},"priority":"input_data"} line:29, {"insert":{"user_id":"B000241782","type":"published_papers"},"similar_merge":{"see_also":[{"@id":"https://tokushima-u.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/2000100","label":"url"},{"@id":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24489716","label":"url"},{"@id":"https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/84900332178","label":"url"},{"@id":"https://web.db.tokushima-u.ac.jp/cgi-bin/edb_browse?EID=275165","label":"url"}],"paper_title":{"en":"Nitrosonifedipine ameliorates the progression of type 2 diabetic nephropathy by exerting antioxidative effects","ja":"Nitrosonifedipine ameliorates the progression of type 2 diabetic nephropathy by exerting antioxidative effects"},"authors":{"en":[{"name":"Ishizawa Keisuke"},{"name":"Izawa-Ishizawa Yuki"},{"name":"Yamano Noriko"},{"name":"Urushihara Maki"},{"name":"Sakurada Takumi"},{"name":"Imanishi Masaki"},{"name":"Fujii Shoko"},{"name":"Nuno Asami"},{"name":"Miyamoto Licht"},{"name":"Kihira Yoshitaka"},{"name":"Ikeda Yasumasa"},{"name":"Kagami Shoji"},{"name":"Kobori Hiroyuki"},{"name":"Tsuchiya Koichiro"},{"name":"Tamaki Toshiaki"}],"ja":[{"name":"石澤 啓介"},{"name":"石澤 有紀"},{"name":"山野 範子"},{"name":"漆原 真樹"},{"name":"Sakurada Takumi"},{"name":"今西 正樹"},{"name":"Fujii Shoko"},{"name":"Nuno Asami"},{"name":"宮本 理人"},{"name":"木平 孝高"},{"name":"池田 康将"},{"name":"香美 祥二"},{"name":"Kobori Hiroyuki"},{"name":"土屋 浩一郎"},{"name":"玉置 俊晃"}]},"description":{"en":"Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the major cause of end-stage renal failure.

Male heterozygous HCII-deficient (HCII(+/-)) mice and male littermate wild-type (HCII(+/+)) mice at the age of 12-16 weeks were subjected to unilateral hindlimb ligation surgery. Laser speckle blood flow analysis showed that blood flow recovery in response to hindlimb ischemia was delayed in HCII(+/-) mice compared with that in HCII(+/+) mice. Capillary number, arteriole number, and endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS), AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and liver kinase B1 (LKB1) phosphorylation in ischemic muscles were decreased in HCII(+/-) mice. Human purified HCII (h-HCII) administration almost restored blood flow recovery, capillary density, and arteriole number as well as phosphorylation levels of eNOS, AMPK, and LKB1 in ischemic muscles of HCII(+/-) mice. Although treatment with h-HCII increased phosphorylation levels of eNOS, AMPK, and LKB1 in human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs), the h-HCII-induced eNOS phosphorylation was abolished by compound C, an AMPK inhibitor, and by AMPK siRNA. In a similar fashion, tube formation, proliferation, and migration of HAECs were also promoted by h-HCII treatment and were abrogated by pretreatment with compound C. HCII potentiates the activation of vascular endothelial cells and the promotion of angiogenesis in response to hindlimb ischemia via an AMPK-eNOS signaling pathway. These findings suggest that HCII is a novel therapeutic target for treatment of patients with peripheral circulation insufficiency."},"publication_date":"2012-10","publication_name":{"en":"The Journal of Biological Chemistry","ja":"The Journal of Biological Chemistry"},"volume":"287","number":"41","starting_page":"34256","ending_page":"34263","languages":["eng"],"referee":true,"identifiers":{"doi":["10.1074/jbc.M112.353532"],"issn":["1083-351X"]},"published_paper_type":"scientific_journal"},"priority":"input_data"} line:36, {"insert":{"user_id":"B000241782","type":"published_papers"},"similar_merge":{"see_also":[{"@id":"https://tokushima-u.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/2002170","label":"url"},{"@id":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22880134","label":"url"},{"@id":"https://web.db.tokushima-u.ac.jp/cgi-bin/edb_browse?EID=253920","label":"url"}],"paper_title":{"en":"Systemic Preconditioning by a Prolyl Hydroxylase Inhibitor Promotes Prevention of Skin Flap Necrosis via HIF-1-Induced Bone Marrow-Derived Cells.","ja":"Systemic Preconditioning by a Prolyl Hydroxylase Inhibitor Promotes Prevention of Skin Flap Necrosis via HIF-1-Induced Bone Marrow-Derived Cells."},"authors":{"en":[{"name":"Takaku Mitsuru"},{"name":"Tomita Shuhei"},{"name":"Kurobe Hirotsugu"},{"name":"Kihira Yoshitaka"},{"name":"Morimoto Atsushi"},{"name":"Higashida Mayuko"},{"name":"Ikeda Yasumasa"},{"name":"Ushiyama Akira"},{"name":"Hashimoto Ichiro"},{"name":"Nakanishi Hideki"},{"name":"Tamaki Toshiaki"}],"ja":[{"name":"Takaku Mitsuru"},{"name":"冨田 修平"},{"name":"黒部 裕嗣"},{"name":"木平 孝高"},{"name":"森本 篤志"},{"name":"Higashida Mayuko"},{"name":"池田 康将"},{"name":"Ushiyama Akira"},{"name":"橋本 一郎"},{"name":"中西 秀樹"},{"name":"玉置 俊晃"}]},"description":{"en":"We demonstrated that transient activation of the HIF signaling pathway by a single systemic DMOG treatment upregulates not only anti-apoptotic pathways but also enhances neovascularization with concomitant increase in the numbers of bone marrow-derived progenitor cells.","ja":"We demonstrated that transient activation of the HIF signaling pathway by a single systemic DMOG treatment upregulates not only anti-apoptotic pathways but also enhances neovascularization with concomitant increase in the numbers of bone marrow-derived progenitor cells."},"publication_date":"2012-08-07","publication_name":{"en":"PLoS ONE","ja":"PLoS ONE"},"volume":"7","number":"8","languages":["eng"],"referee":true,"identifiers":{"doi":["10.1371/journal.pone.0042964"],"issn":["1932-6203"]},"published_paper_type":"scientific_journal"},"priority":"input_data"} line:37, {"insert":{"user_id":"B000241782","type":"published_papers"},"similar_merge":{"see_also":[{"@id":"http://ci.nii.ac.jp/naid/40019353020/","label":"url"},{"@id":"https://tokushima-u.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/2000214","label":"url"},{"@id":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22792339","label":"url"},{"@id":"https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/84863827034","label":"url"},{"@id":"https://web.db.tokushima-u.ac.jp/cgi-bin/edb_browse?EID=248250","label":"url"}],"paper_title":{"en":"Estrogen regulates hepcidin expression via GPR30-BMP6-dependent signaling in hepatocytes","ja":"Estrogen regulates hepcidin expression via GPR30-BMP6-dependent signaling in hepatocytes"},"authors":{"en":[{"name":"Ikeda Yasumasa"},{"name":"Tajima Soichiro"},{"name":"Izawa-Ishizawa Yuki"},{"name":"Kihira Yoshitaka"},{"name":"Ishizawa Keisuke"},{"name":"Tomita Shuhei"},{"name":"Tsuchiya Koichiro"},{"name":"Tamaki Toshiaki"}],"ja":[{"name":"池田 康将"},{"name":"Tajima Soichiro"},{"name":"石澤 有紀"},{"name":"木平 孝高"},{"name":"石澤 啓介"},{"name":"冨田 修平"},{"name":"土屋 浩一郎"},{"name":"玉置 俊晃"}]},"description":{"en":"Hepcidin, a liver-derived iron regulatory protein, plays a crucial role in iron metabolism.

These data suggest that NO-NIF is a candidate for a new class of antioxidative drug that protect cells against oxidative stress in glomerular endothelial cells."},"publication_date":"2011-02","publication_name":{"en":"The Journal of Medical Investigation : JMI","ja":"The Journal of Medical Investigation : JMI"},"volume":"58","number":"1, 2","starting_page":"118","ending_page":"126","languages":["eng"],"referee":true,"identifiers":{"doi":["10.2152/jmi.58.118"],"issn":["1349-6867"]},"published_paper_type":"scientific_journal"},"priority":"input_data"} line:43, {"insert":{"user_id":"B000241782","type":"published_papers"},"similar_merge":{"see_also":[{"@id":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21315355","label":"url"},{"@id":"https://web.db.tokushima-u.ac.jp/cgi-bin/edb_browse?EID=222278","label":"url"}],"paper_title":{"en":"Deferoxamine promotes angiogenesis via the activation of vascular endothelial cell function.","ja":"Deferoxamine promotes angiogenesis via the activation of vascular endothelial cell function."},"authors":{"en":[{"name":"Ikeda Yasumasa"},{"name":"Tajima Soichiro"},{"name":"Yoshida Sumiko"},{"name":"Yamano Noriko"},{"name":"Kihira Yoshitaka"},{"name":"Ishizawa Keisuke"},{"name":"Aihara Ken-ichi"},{"name":"Tomita Shuhei"},{"name":"Tsuchiya Koichiro"},{"name":"Tamaki Toshiaki"}],"ja":[{"name":"池田 康将"},{"name":"Tajima Soichiro"},{"name":"吉田 守美子"},{"name":"山野 範子"},{"name":"木平 孝高"},{"name":"石澤 啓介"},{"name":"粟飯原 賢一"},{"name":"冨田 修平"},{"name":"土屋 浩一郎"},{"name":"玉置 俊晃"}]},"description":{"en":"BACKGROUND: Deferoxamine (DFO), an iron chelator for disorders of excess iron, upregulates the expression of angiogenic factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), indicating that it affects angiogenesis.

In histological analysis, Ang II-induced atrial interstitial fibrosis, perivascular fibrosis, and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy were all attenuated by pitavastatin and Tempol.

Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age (odds ratio [OR]: 1.062, p=0.0016), current smoking (OR 3.028, p=0.002) and diabetes mellitus (OR 2.656, p=0.008) were independent and progressive determinants of PAD. In contrast, HCII was an independent inhibitory factor of PAD (OR: 0.982, p=0.048). CONCLUSIONS: Plasma HCII activity is inversely related to the prevalence of PAD.

To clarify this role, 25-wk-old male AR knockout (ARKO) mice and littermate male wild-type (WT) mice were divided into two groups with and without angiotensin II (Ang II) administration (2.0 mg/kg . d) for 14 d, respectively. No morphological differences in the coronary artery and thoracic aorta were observed between the groups without Ang II. Ang II stimulation markedly increased medial thickness and perivascular fibrosis in ARKO mice, with enhanced TGF-beta1, collagen type I, and collagen type III gene expression in the aorta. Ang II stimulation also prominently increased superoxide production, lipid peroxidation, and gene expression of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase components in ARKO mice compared with WT mice. In addition, phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and phosphorylated (Smad2/3) was remarkably enhanced in Ang II-treated ARKO mice compared with Ang II-treated WT mice. Notably, daily urinary nitric oxide (NO) metabolites excretion as a marker of NO bioavailability, aortic endothelial NO synthase expression and phosphorylation, and Akt phosphorylation were significantly reduced in ARKO mice compared with WT mice, regardless of Ang II stimulation. In conclusion, the androgen-AR system is required for the preservation of NO bioavailability through Akt-endothelial NO synthase system activation and exerts protective effects against Ang II-induced vascular remodeling by regulating oxidative stress, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling, and the TGF-beta-phosphorylated Smad pathway.","ja":"Age-related andropause promotes cardiovascular disease in males.

These observations suggest that non-invasive combination therapy with flunarizine, pentoxifylline, and cholestyramine is effective and valuable in the treatment of patients with spur cell anemia."},"publication_date":"2001-04","publication_name":{"en":"International Journal of Hematology","ja":"International Journal of Hematology"},"volume":"73","number":"3","starting_page":"351","ending_page":"355","languages":["eng"],"referee":true,"identifiers":{"issn":["0925-5710"]},"published_paper_type":"scientific_journal"},"priority":"input_data"} line:70, {"insert":{"user_id":"B000241782","type":"published_papers"},"similar_merge":{"see_also":[{"@id":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9852729","label":"url"},{"@id":"https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/0031742881","label":"url"},{"@id":"https://web.db.tokushima-u.ac.jp/cgi-bin/edb_browse?EID=451745","label":"url"}],"paper_title":{"en":"A case of Cowden's disease associated with rectal carcinoid","ja":"A case of Cowden's disease associated with rectal carcinoid"},"authors":{"en":[{"name":"Kitazoe Ken Ichi"},{"name":"Hosijima Yasuo"},{"name":"Aoki Hidetosi"},{"name":"Kurinaga Atsunobu"},{"name":"Ikeda Yasumasa"},{"name":"Shibata Youko"},{"name":"Yosida Tomonori"}],"ja":[{"name":"Kitazoe Ken Ichi"},{"name":"Hosijima Yasuo"},{"name":"Aoki Hidetosi"},{"name":"Kurinaga Atsunobu"},{"name":"池田 康将"},{"name":"Shibata Youko"},{"name":"Yosida Tomonori"}]},"publication_date":"1998-11","publication_name":{"en":"The Japanese Journal of Gastro-enterology","ja":"日本消化器病学会雑誌"},"volume":"95","number":"11","starting_page":"1244","ending_page":"1248","languages":["jpn"],"referee":true,"identifiers":{"issn":["0446-6586"]},"published_paper_type":"scientific_journal"},"priority":"input_data"} ==== end registerFile(/WWW/pub2/data/ERD/person/219499/researchmap/published_papers-propagate.jsonl, V4gymaEBn_HdSsNV1q8d) ==== ==== begin registerFile(/WWW/pub2/data/ERD/person/219499/researchmap/misc-propagate.jsonl) ==== line:1, {"insert":{"user_id":"B000241782","type":"misc","id":"41903674"},"force":{"see_also":[{"@id":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/37008337","label":"url"},{"@id":"https://web.db.tokushima-u.ac.jp/cgi-bin/edb_browse?EID=395079","label":"url"}],"paper_title":{"en":"Roles of histone acetylation sites in cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure.","ja":"Roles of histone acetylation sites in cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure."},"authors":{"en":[{"name":"Funamoto Masafumi"},{"name":"Imanishi Masaki"},{"name":"Tsuchiya Koichiro"},{"name":"Ikeda Yasumasa"}],"ja":[{"name":"船本 雅文"},{"name":"今西 正樹"},{"name":"土屋 浩一郎"},{"name":"池田 康将"}]},"description":{"en":"Heart failure results from various physiological and pathological stimuli that lead to cardiac hypertrophy.

Iron is an essential trace metal element for maintaining vital functions, and it is involved in hemoglobin synthesis, redox reaction, enzyme activity, cell proliferation and apoptosis in various cells. Iron deficient-related diseases represented anemia are well-known, on the other hand, iron overload disease has attracted little attention. Excessive iron produces hydroxyl radicals via Fenton/Haber-Weiss reaction, causing organ damage in hereditary iron overload diseases. Additionally, it has been clarified that iron accumulation is involved in the pathological conditions even in metabolic diseases thought to be unrelated to iron so far. Therefore, the role of iron in the living body has been raised attention again. Recent studies have reported that body iron content is associated with both obesity and diabetes, and iron might be an aggravating factor of obesity and diabetes. We have revealed that iron chelating agent reduced oxidative stress and inflammation, suppressing the development of adipose hypertrophy in KKAy mice. Dietary iron restriction also diminishes oxidative stress, leading to the inhibition of increased albuminuria excretion and glomerular lesions in db/db mice. In this review, we give an outline of the role of iron on obese and diabetes, and diabetic kidney disease, and present the possibility of application to treatment with iron regulation in those disorders.

鉄は生体内に最も多く存在する生命機能維持に必須の微量金属元素であり,赤血球のヘモグロビン合成,各種細胞における酸化還元反応,酵素活性,細胞増殖ならびにアポトーシスなどに関与する.そのため,貧血に代表される鉄欠乏疾患はよく知られているものの,鉄過剰疾患はあまり注目されてこなかった.過剰な鉄はフェントン/ハーバー・ワイス反応を介して酸化力が強力なヒドロキシルラジカルを生成し,遺伝性鉄過剰疾患における臓器障害の原因となるが,C型肝炎やアルツハイマー病などの従来は鉄と無関係と考えられていた疾患においても鉄が病態に関与していることが明らかとなり,生体内での鉄の役割が改めて注目されている.近年,生体内鉄量の増加が肥満ならびに糖尿病と関連することが示唆されており,鉄は肥満・糖尿病の増悪因子の可能性がある.しかし,肥満・糖尿病における鉄除去の効果については不明であった.我々は,肥満・糖尿病モデルKKAyマウスを用いて,鉄キレート剤投与が酸化ストレスや炎症を低減して,脂肪細胞肥大の進展が抑制されること,糖尿病性腎臓病モデルdb/dbマウスでは,食餌性鉄制限が酸化ストレスを減少して,アルブミン尿排泄増加や糸球体病変を抑制することで糖尿病性腎臓病の進行抑制につながることを報告した.本稿では,肥満・糖尿病とその合併症における鉄の役割と鉄制限による治療応用への可能性について,我々が明らかにした研究成果を含めて概説する.
