(Summary) The shift of Japanese eating habits from salty and grain-based consumption with low animal protein to a diet with a variety of lipids and animal products after Second World War has significantly reduced the rate of infections and cerebral bleeding. On the other hand, the increase in life-style related diseases such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes has become a serious problem in our country. However, it is difficult to discuss the nutrition of the elderly in a stereotype because of the diversity in physical and psychological feature. Although there are many important issues that require discussions encompassing broad aspects in taking high protein diet as a main topic, it may be possible to consider a question in the aspects of body weight or body composition in the elderly. In this section, we discuss the `secret key' in nutrition to health for the aged.

(Summary) Taste recognition mediated by taste receptors is critical for the survival of animals in nature and is an important determinant of nutritional status and quality of life in humans. However, many factors including aging, diabetes, zinc deficiency, infection with influenza or cold viruses, and chemotherapy can trigger dysgeusia, for which a standard treatment has not been established. We here established an engineered strain of medaka (Oryzias latipes) that expresses green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the endogenous taste 1 receptor 3 (T1R3) gene locus with the use of the CRISPR-Cas9 system. This T1R3-GFP knock-in (KI) strain allows direct visualization of expression from this locus by monitoring of GFP fluorescence. The pattern of GFP expression in the T1R3-GFP KI fish thus mimicked that of endogenous T1R3 gene expression. Furthermore, exposure of T1R3-GFP KI medaka to water containing monosodium glutamate or the anticancer agent 5-fluorouracil resulted in an increase or decrease, respectively, in GFP fluorescence intensity, effects that also recapitulated those on T1R3 mRNA abundance. Finally, screening for agents that affect GFP fluorescence intensity in T1R3-GFP KI medaka identified tryptophan as an amino acid that increases T1R3 gene expression. The establishment of this screening system for taste receptor expression in medaka provides a new tool for the development of potential therapeutic agents for dysgeusia.

(Summary) Metabolic syndrome is a pathological condition with hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, or hypertension resulting in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Factors that affect visceral fat accumulation and weight gain include not only physiological factors such as heredity, constitution, and age, but also behavioral factors and environmental factors. Eating behavior and eating environment are critical for the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome. In this report, we will discuss about recent topics of nutrition in metabolic syndrome, especially association with macronutrients such as carbohydrate, fatty acids and protein. In recent years, several publications have determined the benefit of low carbohydrate diet on obesity and diabetes, and the American Diabetes Association has also recommended low carbohydrate diet, Mediterranean diet, and a diet mainly consistent with vegetables and plants. There have been many reports that the effect of carbohydrate restriction has not only the weight loss effect but also reduces risk factors such as cardiovascular disease and cerebrovascular disease. Fanelli et al . recently have shown that half of US adults with diabetes have less than the recommended daily intake of protein, which may lead to poor dietary quality. Diabetic patients with low protein intake had significantly lower dietary nutrient density and 12．5% higher carbohydrate intake, whereas diabetic patients with daily protein intake meeting the recommended amount have shown that the overall quality of the diet was high and almost met the recommended daily amount of vegetables, whole grains, dairy products and added sugars. Therefore, in addition to the prevention of metabolic syndrome, protein is important for treatment of metabolic syndrome and higher QOL. Nutritional research needs further development to deal with metabolic syndrome.

(Summary) Fish oil-derived long-chain monounsaturated fatty acids (LCMUFAs) with a carbon chain length longer than 18 units ameliorate cardiovascular risk in mice. In this study, we investigated whether LCMUFAs could improve endothelial functions in mice and humans. In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multi-center study, healthy subjects were randomly assigned to either an LCMUFA oil (saury oil) or a control oil (olive and tuna oils) group. Sixty subjects were enrolled and administrated each oil for 4 weeks. For the animal study, ApoE mice were fed a Western diet supplemented with 3% of either gadoleic acid (C20:1) or cetoleic acid (C22:1) for 12 weeks. Participants from the LCMUFA group showed improvements in endothelial function and a lower trimethylamine-N-oxide level, which is a predictor of coronary artery disease. C20:1 and C22:1 oils significantly improved atherosclerotic lesions and plasma levels of several inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6 and TNF-α. These beneficial effects were consistent with an improvement in the gut microbiota environment, as evident from the decreased ratio of Firmicutes and/ or Bacteroidetes, increase in the abundance of Akkermansia, and upregulation of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-induced glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) expression and serum GLP-1 level. These data suggest that LCMUFAs alter the microbiota environment that stimulate the production of SCFAs, resulting in the induction of GLP-1 secretion. Fish oil-derived long-chain monounsaturated fatty acids might thus help to protect against cardiovascular disease.

(Summary) These results revealed that cold exposure induces UCP1-mediated thermogenesis-dependent glucose utilization and UCP1-independent active lipid metabolism in BAT. In addition, cold exposure largely affects amino acid metabolism in BAT, especially UCP1-dependently enhances glutamine utilization. These results contribute a comprehensive understanding of UCP1-mediated thermogenesis-dependent and thermogenesis-independent metabolism in BAT.

(Summary) F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG). FDG-PET/CT imaging revealed that insulin administration and exercise load significantly increased FDG accumulation in the skeletal muscle of C57BL/6J mice. FDG accumulation was lower in the skeletal muscle of 14-week-old db/db diabetic model mice exhibiting remarkable insulin resistance compared to that of 7-week-old db/db mice. Based on the continuous observation of FDG accumulation over time in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice, FDG accumulation significantly decreased in 17-week-old mice after the acquisition of insulin resistance. Although insulin-induced glucose uptake in the skeletal muscle was markedly attenuated in 20-week-old DIO mice that had already developed insulin resistance, exercise load effectively increased FDG uptake in the skeletal muscle. Thus, we successfully confirmed that glucose uptake accompanied by insulin administration and exercise load increased in the skeletal muscle using PET-CT. FDG-PET/CT might be an effective tool that could noninvasively capture the chronological changes of metabolic abnormalities in the skeletal muscle of mice.

Nagakatsu Harada, Yuka Gotoda, Adzumi Hatakeyama, Tadahiko Nakagawa, Yumiko Miyatake, Masashi Kuroda, Saeko Masumoto, Rie Tsutsumi, Yutaka Nakaya and Hiroshi Sakaue : Differential regulation of Actn2 and Actn3 expression during unfolded protein response in C2C12 myotubes., Journal of Muscle Research and Cell Motility, 2020. (Summary) ACTN2 and ACTN3 encode sarcomeric α-actinin-2 and α-actinin-3 proteins, respectively, that constitute the Z-line in mammalian skeletal muscle fibers. In human ACTN3, a nonsense mutation at codon 577 that encodes arginine (R) produces the R577X polymorphism. Individuals having a homozygous 577XX genotype do not produce α-actinin-3 protein. The 577XX genotype reportedly occurs in sprint and power athletes in frequency lower than in the normal population, suggesting that α-actinin-3 deficiency diminishes fast-type muscle function. Among humans who carry 577R alleles, varying ACTN3 expression levels under certain conditions can have diverse effects on atheletic and muscle performance. However, the factors that regulate ACTN3 expression are unclear. Here we investigated whether the unfolded protein response (UPR) under endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress regulates expression of Actn3 and its isoform Actn2 in mouse C2C12 myotubes. Among UPR-related transcription factors, XBP1 upregulated Actn2, whereas XBP1, ATF4 and ATF6 downregulated Actn3 promoter activity. Chemical induction of ER stress increased Actn2 mRNA levels, but decreased those for Actn3. ER stress also decreased α-actinin-3 protein levels, whereas levels of α-actinin-2 were unchanged. The intracellular composition of muscle contraction-related proteins was altered under ER stress, in that expression of parvalbumin (a fast-twitch muscle-specific protein) and troponin I type 1 (skeletal, slow) was suppressed. siRNA-induced suppression of Actn3 mimicked the inhibitory effect of ER stress on parvalbumin levels. Thus, endogenous expression levels of α-actinin-3 can be altered by ER stress, which may modulate muscle performance and athletic aptitudes, particularly in humans who carry ACTN3 577R alleles.

(Summary) Hypertrophy, associated with adipocyte dysfunction, causes increased pro-inflammatory adipokine, and abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism, leading to insulin resistance and obesity-related-health problems. By combining DNA microarray and genomic data analyses to predict DNA binding motifs, we identified the transcription factor Interferon Regulatory Factor 7 (IRF7) as a possible regulator of genes related to adipocyte hypertrophy. To investigate the role of IRF7 in adipocytes, we examined gene expression patterns in 3T3-L1 cells infected with a retrovirus carrying the IRF7 gene and found that enforced IRF7 expression induced the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), a key initial adipokine in the chronic inflammation of obesity. CRISPR/Cas9 mediated-suppression of IRF7 significantly reduced MCP-1 mRNA. Luciferase assays, chromatin immunoprecipitation PCR analysis and gel shift assay showed that IRF7 transactivates the MCP-1 gene by binding to its proximal Interferon Stimulation Response Element (ISRE), a putative IRF7 binding motif. IRF7 knockout mice exhibited lower expression of MCP-1 in epidydimal white adipose tissue under high-fat feeding conditions, suggesting the transcription factor is physiologically important for inducing MCP-1. Taken together, our results suggest that IRF7 transactivates MCP-1 mRNA in adipocytes, and it may be involved in the adipose tissue inflammation associated with obesity.

(Summary) Although adipocytes are major targets of insulin, the influence of impaired insulin action in adipocytes on metabolic homeostasis remains unclear. We here show that adipocyte-specific PDK1 (3'-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1)-deficient (A-PDK1KO) mice manifest impaired metabolic actions of insulin in adipose tissue and reduction of adipose tissue mass. A-PDK1KO mice developed insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, and hepatic steatosis, and this phenotype was suppressed by additional ablation of FoxO1 specifically in adipocytes (A-PDK1/FoxO1KO mice) without an effect on adipose tissue mass. Neither circulating levels of adiponectin and leptin nor inflammatory markers in adipose tissue differed between A-PDK1KO and A-PDK1/FoxO1KO mice. Lipidomics and microarray analyses revealed that leukotriene B₄ (LTB₄) levels in plasma and in adipose tissue as well as the expression of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) in adipose tissue were increased and restored in A-PDK1KO mice and A-PDK1/FoxO1KO mice, respectively. Genetic deletion of the LTB₄ receptor BLT1 as well as pharmacological intervention to 5-LO or BLT1 ameliorated insulin resistance in A-PDK1KO mice. Furthermore, insulin was found to inhibit LTB₄ production through down-regulation of 5-LO expression via the PDK1-FoxO1 pathway in isolated adipocytes. Our results indicate that insulin signaling in adipocytes negatively regulates the production of LTB₄ via the PDK1-FoxO1 pathway and thereby maintains systemic insulin sensitivity.

(Summary) Researchers frequently use 3T3-L1 adipocytes as a fat cell line, but the capacity of this line for insulin-mediated glucose transport is lower than that of primary isolated fat cells. In this study, we found that 5-azacytidine (5-aza-C), DNA methyltransferase 1 inhibitor, enhanced insulin-stimulated 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) transport in 3T3-L1 cells after adipogenic differentiation. We next examined the expression of the genes related to glucose transport and insulin signal transduction. The insulin independent glucose transporter, glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), showed lower expression in 5-aza-C pre-treated 3T3-L1 adipocytes, than in un-treated control adipocytes, while the expression of insulin dependent transporter GLUT4 remained unchanged. In addition, insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) was highly expressed in 5-aza-C pre-treated adipocytes. Based on DNA microarray and functional annotation analysis, we noticed that 5-aza-C pretreatment activated the tumor suppressor p53 pathway. We confirmed that in 5-aza-C adipocytes, p53 expression was markedly higher, and the methylation level of CpGs in its promoter region was lower than in un-treated control adipocytes. Moreover, pharmacological inhibition of p53 restored GLUT1 and IRS-1 expression to the same level as in un-treated 3T3-L1 adipocytes, and significantly decreased insulin-mediated 2-DG uptake. These results suggest that glucose transport capacity in adipocytes is influenced by DNA methylation status, and demethylation induced by 5-aza-C increased it possibly through the p53 signaling pathway.

(Summary) Background and aims : Severe aortic stenosis (AS) has been normally treated with surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) whereas recently, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been introduced as a minimally invasive operation for patients with high surgical risk and frailty. In this study, we have evaluated postoperative physical function and nutrition intake in the patients following AVR and TAVI. Methods : This prospective observational study involved 9 patients with surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) and 7 patients with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Body composition was measured one day prior surgery, postoperative day (POD) 1, POD 3, POD 5 and POD 7. Hand grip strength, calf circumference and gait speed were measured one day before surgery and on the day of discharge. Results : Skeletal muscle was significantly decreased in AVR patients at postoperative day 3 and 7, while there was no change in TAVI patients. Patients with TAVI showed higher dietary intake after surgery compared to patients with AVR, and they maintained hand grip strength and calf circumference at discharge. Conclusions : In elderly patients with AS, TAVI can improve post-operative recovery maintaining nutritional status and physical function even. J. Med. Invest. 67 : 139-144, February, 2020.

(Summary) Background : Mediterranean diets have been linked to a reduced risk of cancer, vascular illnesses, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Olive oil is the primary fat source in the Mediterranean diet ; however, only a few studies have investigated the effect of olive oil on aging. In the present study, we aimed to determine whether consumption of olive oil significantly influences aging and memory in senescence-accelerated mouse-prone 8 (SAMP8). Methods : SAMP8 and senescence-accelerated mouse resistant 1 (SAMR1) mice were fed either 7% soy oil or 1% olive oil and 6% soy oil during a six-month study period. Reduction in memory in passive avoidance learning was examined after two months from the initiation of the experiment. Results : The weight of organs including the liver, kidney, spleen, and fat tissue changed significantly and memory performance was reduced in SAMP8 than in SAMR1 mice. There were no significant differences in SAMP8 and SAMR1 mice; however, blood triglyceride level decreased significantly in SAMP8 mice fed on olive oil. Conclusions : These results suggest that consuming olive oil may not have a protective role in aging and memory recall, but beneficial effects may be related to improvement in lipid metabolism. J.

(Summary) Tofacitinib is the first Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitor to treat moderately to severely active RA. In this study, we investigated whether the effect of tofacitinib have any effects on body composition in mice and female patients with RA. Female C57BL/6 mice fed with a high-fat diet were treated with 30 mg/kg/day tofacitinib or vehicle for 70 days. Following treatment, trunk muscle, subcutaneous fat, and visceral fats were measured using X-ray computed tomography CT scan. Glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity were assessed. In female RA patients treated with biological disease modified anti-rheumatic-drugs (biological DMARDs) or tofacitinib (n=4 per group), we also evaluated the body composition after 3 months from the start of treatment initiation using bioelectrical impedance analysis. Treatment with tofacitinib did not affect the body weight, and body composition in C57BL/6 mice. It also did not affect glucose, and insulin tolerance in mice. In patients with RA, treatment with biological DMARDs did not affect the body composition whereas the muscle mass was unchanged after receiving tofacitinib and the fat mass was significantly increased.

(Summary) There is an increasing interest in elucidating the molecular mechanisms by which voluntary exercise is regulated. In this study, we examined how the central nervous system regulates exercise. We used SPORTS rats, which were established in our laboratory as a highly voluntary murine exercise model. SPORTS rats showed lower levels of serum ghrelin compared with those of the parental line of Wistar rats. Intracerebroventricular and intraperitoneal injection of ghrelin decreased wheel-running activity in SPORTS rats. In addition, daily injection of the ghrelin inhibitor JMV3002 into the lateral ventricles of Wistar rats increased wheel-running activity. Co-administration of obestatin inhibited ghrelin-induced increases in food intake but did not inhibit ghrelin-induced suppression of voluntary exercise in rats. Growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) in the hypothalamus and hippocampus of SPORTS rats was not difference that in control rats. We created an arcuate nucleus destruction model by administering monosodium glutamate (MSG) to neonatal SPORTS rats. Injection of ghrelin into MSG-treated rats decreased voluntary exercise but did not increase food intake, suggesting that wheel-running activity is not controlled by the arcuate nucleus neurons that regulate feeding. These results provide new insights into the mechanism by which ghrelin regulates voluntary activity independent of arcuate nucleus neurons.

(Summary) Leptin is a key regulator of energy intake and expenditure. This peptide hormone is expressed in mouse white adipose tissue, but hardly expressed in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Using bisulfite sequencing, we found that CpG islands in the leptin promoter are highly methylated in 3T3-L1cells. 5-azacytidine, an inhibitor of DNA methyltransferase, markedly increased leptin expression as pre-adipocytes matured into adipocytes. Remarkably, leptin expression was stimulated by insulin in adipocytes derived from precursor cells exposed to 5-azacytidine, but suppressed by thiazolidinedione and dexamethasone. In contrast, adipocytes derived from untreated precursor cells were unresponsive to both 5-azacytidine and hormonal stimuli, although lipid accumulation was sufficient to boost leptin expression in the absence of demethylation. Taken together, the results suggest that leptin expression in 3T3-L1 cells requires DNA demethylation prior to adipogenesis, transcriptional activation during adipogenesis, and lipid accumulation after adipogenesis.

(Summary) Cell death is closely linked to many diseases including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune diseases, and metabolic disorders. Increased adipocyte death has been reported during the development of obesity. Adipocyte death may be caused by excessive stress during obesity-related adipose tissue remodeling. Adipose tissue macrophages are key players in obesity-related inflammation and systemic insulin resistance. Accumulating evidence suggests that adipocyte death is involved in immune cell function and initiates inflammation through an interaction with macrophages; however, the precise mechanisms remain largely unknown. This review focuses on the contribution of dead cells (particularly dead adipocytes in adipose tissue) to the pathophysiological conditions associated with obesity. J. Med.

(Summary) Obesity, induced by unhealthy lifestyle choices, could be involved in the development of chronic diseases like type 2 diabete. Obesity is largely due to the imbalance of energy intake and expenditure, therefore we have put more emphasis on the amount of macronutrients including carbohydrates, fats and proteins as dietary therapy for obesity and related-conditions. On the other hand, several studies revealed obese or diabetic patients were more likely to have micronutrient deficiencies such as vitamins and minerals. Besides the effects on bone metabolism, vitamin D and calcium might contribute to metabolic disorder accompanied by obesity. However, it has not been concluded supplementation of these two nutrients has a benefit in obese or diabetic individuals. Further studies are needed.

(Summary) 熱傷や多発外傷，敗血症といった重症病態では，健常時と比較して代謝動態は著しく変化する．侵襲時での炎症性サイトカインや免疫細胞の活性化によって解糖経路の亢進やミトコンドリアの機能不全による酸化的リン酸化の抑制が生じる．このような代謝の変化によってエネルギー代謝の倹約と乳酸の過剰産生が示唆される．また，代謝動態への影響は糖代謝のみではなくアミノ酸代謝にも及ぶ．特に分岐鎖アミノ酸(BCAA)の代謝動態は重要なシグナル因子となっている可能性が考えられる．敗血症においては，骨格筋でのロイシン抵抗性が懸念されるが，一方でロイシンの投与によって骨格筋減少抑制効果があることも報告されている．重症病態において代謝機構の変化に合わせたエネルギー投与量の調整ともに，アミノ酸代謝の意義を究明する必要がある．(著者抄録) (Keyword) Catechin 肥満(実験的) Biflavonoids Proanthocyanidins 認知機能低下(実験的) 消化管微生物叢 Procyanidin マウス動物 / Amino Acids(血液) Branched-Chain Amino Acids 運動療法活性酸素筋萎縮症(予防) 代謝栄養管理ヒト
