| 1 | Helicobacter pylori associated chronic gastritis,clinical syndromes,precancerous lesions,and pathogenesis of gastric cancer development显示文摘Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)infection is well known to be associated with the development of precancerous lesions such as chronic atrophic gastritis(AG),or gastric intestinal metaplasia(GIM),and cancer.Various molecular alterations are identified not only in gastric cancer(GC)but also in precancerous lesions.H.pylori treatment seems to improve AG and GIM,but still remains controversial.In contrast,many studies,including meta-analysis,show that H.pylori eradication reduces GC.Molecular markers detected by genetic and epigenetic alterations related to carcinogenesis reverse following H.pylori eradication.This indicates that these changes may be an important factor in the identification of high risk patients for cancer development.Patients who underwent endoscopic treatment of GC are at high risk for development of metachronous GC.A randomized controlled trial from Japan concluded that prophylactic eradication of H.pylori after endoscopic resection should be used to prevent the development of metachronous GC,but recent retrospective studies did not show the tendency.Patients with precancerous lesions(molecular alterations)that do not reverse after H.pylori treatment,represent the'point of no return'and may be at high risk for the development of GC.Therefore,earlier H.pylori eradication should be considered for preventing GC development prior to the appearance of precancerous lesions. | Jiro Watari Nancy Chen Peter S Amenta Hirokazu Fukui Tadayuki Oshima Toshihiko Tomita Hiroto Miwa Kheng-Jim Lim Kiron M Das | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,18: | 60 |
| 2 | Mutant p53 in colon cancer显示文摘The accumulation of genetic alterations in driver genes is responsible for the development and malignant progression of colorectal cancer. Comprehensive genome analyses have revealed the driver genes, including APC, KRAS, TGFBR2, and TP53, whose mutations are frequently found in human colorectal cancers. Among them, the p53 mutation is found in ~60% of colorectal cancers, and a majority of mutations are missense-type at ‘hot spots’, suggesting an oncogenic role of mutant p53 by ‘gain-of-function’ mechanisms. Mouse model studies have shown that one of these missense-type mutations, p53 R270H (corresponding to human R273H), causes submucosal invasion of intestinal tumors, while the loss of wild-type p53 has a limited effect on the invasion process. Furthermore, the same mutant p53 promotes metastasis when combined with Kras activation and TGF-β suppression. Importantly, either missense-type p53 mutation or loss of wild-type p53 induces NF-κB activation by a variety of mechanisms, such as increasing promoter accessibility by chromatin remodeling, which may contribute to progression to epithelial–mesenchymal transition. These results indicate that missense-type p53 mutations together with loss of wild-type p53 accelerate the late stage of colorectal cancer progression through the activation of both oncogenic and inflammatory pathways. Accordingly, the suppression of the mutant p53 function via the inhibition of nuclear accumulation is expected to be an effective strategy against malignant progression of colorectal cancer. | Mizuho Nakayama Masanobu Oshima | 2019 | Journal of Molecular Cell Biology2019,11,4: | 22 |
| 3 | Scoring system for prediction of metastatic spine tumor prognosis显示文摘Assessing the prognosis before treatment for metastatic spine tumor is extremely important in therapy selection.Therefore,we review some prognostic scoring systems and their outcomes.Articles with combinations of two keywords among'metastatic spine tumor'and'prognosis','score','scoring system','predicting',or'life expectancy'were searched for in Pub Med.As a result,236 articles were extracted.Those referring to representative scoring systems about predicting the survival of patients with metastatic spine tumors were used.The significance and limits of these scoring systems,and the future perspectives were described.Tokuhashi score,Tomita score,Baur score,Linden score,Rades score,and Katagiri score were introduced.They are all scoring systems prepared by combining factors that affect prognosis.The primary site of cancer and visceral metastasis were common factors in all of these scoring systems.Other factors selected to influence the prognosis varied.They were useful to roughly predict thesurvival period,such as,'more than one year or not'or'more than six months or not'.In particular,they were utilized for decision-making about operative indications and avoidance of excessive medical treatment.Because the function depended on the survival period in the patients with metastatic spine tumor,it was also utilized in assessing functional prognosis.However,no scoring system had more than 90%consistency between the predicted and actual survival periods.Future perspectives should adopt more oncological viewpoints with adjustment of the process of treatment for metastatic spine tumor. | Yasuaki Tokuhashi Hiroshi Uei Masashi Oshima Yasumitsu Ajiro | 2014 | World Journal of Orthopedics2014,5,3: | 19 |
| 4 | Clinical outcomes and risk factors for perforation in gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection: A prospective pilot study显示文摘AIM: To evaluate clinical outcomes and risk factors for endoscopic perforation during endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in a prospective study. METHODS: We investigated the clinical outcomes and risk factors for the development of perforation in 98 consecutive gastric neoplasms undergoing ESD regarding. Demographic and clinical parameters including patient-, tumor-, and treatment-related factors, clinical parameters, and duration of hospital stay were analyzed for risk factors for perforation. In subgroup analysis, we also compared the clinical outcomes between perforation and 'silent' free air without endoscopically visible perforation detected only by computed tomography.RESULTS: Perforation was identified in 8.2% of patients. All patients were managed conservatively by the administration of antibiotics. The mean procedure time was significantly longer in patients with endoscopic perforation than in those without. According to the receiver-operating characteristic analysis, the resulting cutoff value of the procedure time for perforation was 115 min (87.5% sensitivity, 56.7% specificity). Prolonged procedure time (≥ 115 min) was associated with an increased risk of perforation (odds ratio 9.15; 95%CI: 1.08-77.54; P = 0.04). Following ESD, body temperature and C-reactive protein level were significantly higher in patients with perforation than in those without (P = 0.02), whereas there was no difference between these patient groups on the starting day of oral intake or of hospitalization. In subgroup analysis, the post-ESD clinical course was not different between endoscopic perforation and silent free air. CONCLUSION: Only prolonged procedure time (≥ 115 min) was significantly associated with perforation. The clinical outcomes of perforation are favorable and are comparable to those of patients with or without silent free air. | Jiro Watari Toshihiko Tomita Fumihiko Toyoshima Jun Sakurai Takashi Kondo Haruki Asano Takahisa Yamasaki Takuya Okugawa Hisatomo Ikehara Tadayuki Oshima Hirokazu Fukui Hiroto Miwa | 2013 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2013,5,6: | 17 |

| 6 | 新辅助化疗后行腹腔镜辅助胃切除术治疗晚期胃癌显示文摘目前治疗晚期胃癌的方法为开腹胃切除及D2淋巴结清扫并在术后行S-1或卡倍他滨加奥沙利铂辅助化疗。然而III期胃癌患者的预后并不理想。为了提高生存率,需要加大化疗药物的剂量。鉴于患者接受二联或三联化疗的顺应性差,新辅助化疗将是一个充满前景的方法。目前在东亚国家,正进行多项III期临床试验用于评估新辅助化疗效果。另一方面,手术治疗方法已倾向于行腹腔镜手术。在日本和韩国已经进行了多项III期临床试验评估腹腔镜辅助远端胃切除(LADG)在早期和晚期患者中的疗效。因此,未来标准治疗肿瘤位于中、下1/3晚期胃癌的候选方案由综合治疗组成,包括新辅助化疗及随后的LADG。只要新辅助化疗是按标准实施,随后的腹腔镜胃切除术的可行性、安全性及长期生存率是有保障的。在这个背景下,我们实施了一项随机II期临床试验比较新辅助化疗后LADG和开腹远端胃切除术(ODG)治疗胃癌的疗效。 | Takaki Yoshikawa Takashi Oshima Yasushi Rino Munetaka Masuda | 2013 | 中国普通外科杂志2013,22,10: | 9 |
| 7 | What types of early gastric cancer are indicated for endoscopic ultrasonography staging of invasion depth?显示文摘AIM To clarify the diagnostic efficacy and limitations of endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS) and the characteristics of early gastric cancers(EGCs) that are indications for EUS-based assessment of cancer invasion depth.METHODS We retrospectively investigated the cases of 153 EGC patients who underwent conventional endoscopy(CE) and EUS(20 MHz) before treatment.RESULTS We found that 13.7% were 'inconclusive' cases with low-quality EUS images, including all nine of the cases with protruded(0-I)-type EGCs. There was no significant difference in the diagnostic accuracybetween CE and EUS. Two significant independent risk factors for misdiagnosis by EUS were identified-ulcer scarring [UL(+); odds ratio(OR) = 4.49, P = 0.003] and non-indication criteria for endoscopic resection(ER)(OR = 3.02, P = 0.03). In the subgroup analysis, 23.1% of the differentiated-type cancers exhibiting SM massive invasion(SM2) invasion(submucosal invasion ≥ 500 μm) by CE were correctly diagnosed by EUS, and 23.1% of the undifferentiated-type EGCs meeting the expanded-indication criteria for ER were correctly diagnosed by EUS.CONCLUSION There is no need to perform EUS for UL(+) EGCs or 0-I-type EGCs, but EUS may enhance the pretreatment staging of differentiated-type EGCs with SM2 invasion without UL or undifferentiated-type EGCs revealed by CE as meeting the expanded-indication criteria for ER. | Jiro Watari Shigemitsu Ueyama Toshihiko Tomita Hisatomo Ikehara Kazutoshi Hori Ken Hara Takahisa Yamasaki Takuya Okugawa Takashi Kondo Tomoaki Kono Katsuyuki Tozawa Tadayuki Oshima Hirokazu Fukui Hiroto Miwa | 2016 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2016,8,16: | 8 |
| 8 | Histological diagnosis of gastric submucosal tumors: A pilot study of endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy vs mucosal cutting biopsy显示文摘AIM: To compare the usefulness of endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy(EUS-FNAB) without cytology and mucosal cutting biopsy(MCB) in the histological diagnosis of gastric submucosal tumor(SMT).METHODS: We prospectively compared the diagnostic yield, feasibility, and safety of EUS-FNAB and those of MCB based on endoscopic submucosal dissection. The cases of 20 consecutive patients with gastric SMT ≥1 cm in diameter. who underwent both EUS-FNAB and MCB were investigated.RESULTS: The histological diagnoses were gastrointestinal stromal tumors(n = 7), leiomyoma(n =6), schwannoma(n = 2), aberrant pancreas(n = 2), and one case each of glomus tumor, metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma, and no-diagnosis. The tumors' mean size was 23.6 mm. Histological diagnosis was made in 65.0% of the EUS-FNABs and 60.0% of the MCBs, a nonsignificant difference. There were no significant differences in the diagnostic yield concerning the tumor location or tumor size between the two methods. However, diagnostic specimens were significantly more frequently obtained in lesions with intraluminal growth than in those with extraluminal growth by the MCB method(P = 0.01). All four SMTs with extraluminal growth were diagnosed only by EUSFNAB(P = 0.03). No complications were found in either method.CONCLUSION: MCB may be chosen as an alternative diagnostic modality in tumors showing the intraluminal growth pattern regardless of tumor size, whereas EUSFNAB should be performed for SMTs with extraluminal growth. | Hisatomo Ikehara Zhaoliang Li Jiro Watari Masato Taki Tomohiro Ogawa Takahisa Yamasaki Takashi Kondo Fumihiko Toyoshima Tomoaki Kono Katsuyuki Tozawa Yoshio Ohda Toshihiko Tomita Tadayuki Oshima Hirokazu Fukui Ikuo Matsuda Seiichi Hirota Hiroto Miwa | 2015 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2015,7,14: | 7 |
| 9 | Significance of regenerating islet-derived type Ⅳ gene expression in gastroenterological cancers显示文摘The regenerating islet-derived members (Reg ),a group of small secretory proteins,which are involved in cell proliferation or differentiation in digestive organs,are upregulated in several gastrointestinal cancers,functioning as trophic or antiapoptotic factors.Regenerating islet-derived type Ⅳ (RegⅣ ),a member of the Reg gene family,has been reported to be overexpressed in gastroenterological cancers.RegIV overexpression in tumor cells has been associated with carcinogenesis,cell growth,survival and resistance to apoptosis.Cancer tissue expressing RegⅣ is generally associated with more malignant characteristics than that without such expression,and RegⅣ is considered a novel prognostic factor as well as diagnostic marker in some gastroenterological cancers.We previously investigated the expression levels of RegⅣ mRNA of 202 surgical colorectal cancer specimens with quantitative real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and reported that a higher level of RegⅣ gene expression was a significant independent predictor of colorectal cancer.The biologic functions of RegⅣ protein in cancer tissue,associated with carcinogenesis,antiapoptosis and invasiveness,are being elucidated by molecular investigations using transfection techniques or neutralizing antibodies of RegⅣ,and the feasibility of antibody therapy targeting RegⅣ is being assessed.These studies may lead to novel therapeutic strategies for gastroenterological cancers expressing RegⅣ .This review article summarizes the current information related to biological functions as well as clinical importance of RegⅣ gene to clarify the significance of RegⅣ expression in gastroenterological cancers. | Masakatsu Numata Takashi Oshima | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,27: | 6 |
| 10 | Colon perforation due to antigenemia-negative cytomegalovirus gastroenteritis after liver transplantation: A case report and review of literature显示文摘BACKGROUND Cytomegalovirus(CMV) remains a critical complication after solid-organ transplantation. The CMV antigenemia(AG) test is useful for monitoring CMV infection. Although the AG-positivity rate in CMV gastroenteritis is known to be low at onset, almost all cases become positive during the disease course. We treated a patient with transverse colon perforation due to AG-negative CMV gastroenteritis, following a living donor liver transplantation(LDLT).CASE SUMMARY The patient was a 52-year-old woman with decompensated liver cirrhosis as a result of autoimmune hepatitis who underwent a blood-type compatible LDLT with her second son as the donor. On day 20 after surgery, upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy(GE) revealed multiple gastric ulcers and transverse colon ulcers. The biopsy tissue immunostaining confirmed a diagnosis of CMV gastroenteritis. On day 28 after surgery, an abdominal computed tomography revealed transverse colon perforation, and simple lavage and drainage were performed along with an urgent ileostomy. Although the repeated remission and aggravation of CMV gastroenteritis and acute cellular rejection made the control of immunosuppression difficult, the upper GE eventually revealed an improvement in the gastric ulcers, and the biopsy samples were negative for CMV. The CMV-AG test remained negative, therefore, we had to evaluate the status of the CMV infection on the basis of the clinical symptoms and GE.CONCLUSION This case report suggests a monitoring method that could be useful for AGnegative CMV gastroenteritis after a solid-organ transplantation. | Takahiro Yokose Hideaki Obara Masahiro Shinoda Yutaka Nakano Minoru Kitago Hiroshi Yagi Yuta Abe Yohei Yamada Kentaro Matsubara Go Oshima Shutaro Hori Sho Ibuki Hisanobu Higashi Yuki Masuda Masanori Hayashi Miho Kawaida Takehiko Mori Takumi Fujimura Ken Hoshino Kaori Kameyama Tatsuo Kuroda Yuko Kitagawa | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,15: | 5 |

| 12 | Effects of Fuscoporia obliqua on Postprandial Glucose Excursion and Endothelial Dysfunction in Type 2 Diabetic Patients显示文摘Postprandial hyperglycemia has been reported to elicit endothelial dysfunction and provoke future cardiovascular complications. A reduction of postprandial blood glucose levels by the glucosidase inhibitor Fuscoporia obliqua was associated with a risk reduction of cardiovascular complications, but the effects of Fuscoporia obliqua on endothelial function have never been elucidated. This study is aimed to assess the efficacy of Fuscoporia obliqua on postprandial metabolic parameters and endothelial function in type 2 diabetic patients. Postprandial peak glucose (14.47±1.27 vs. 8.50±0.53 mmol/liter), plasma glucose excursion (PPGE), and change in the area under the curve (AUC) glucose after a single loading of test meal (total 450 kcal; protein 15.3%; fat 32.3%; carbohydrate 51.4%) were significantly higher in the diet-treated type 2 diabetic patients (n=14) than the age-and sex-matched controls (n=12). The peak forearm blood flow response and total reactive hyperemic flow (flow debt repayment) during reactive hyperemia, indices of resistance artery endothelial function on strain-gauge plethysmography, were unchanged before and after meal loading in the controls. But those of the diabetics were significantly decreased 120 and 240 min after the test meal. A prior administration of Fuscoporia obliqua decreased postprandial peak glucose, PPGE, and AUC glucose. The peak forearm blood flow and flow debt repayment were inversely well correlated with peak glucose, PPGE, and AUC glucose, but not with AUC insulin or the other lipid parameters. Even a single loading of the test meal was shown to impair the endothelial function in type 2 diabetic patients, and the postprandial endothelial dysfunction was improved by a prior use of Fuscoporia obliqua. Fuscoporia obliqua might reduce macrovascular complication by avoiding endothelial injury in postprandial hyperglycemic status. | Toshihiro Maenaka Masami Oshima Yuka Itokawa Takashi Masubuchi Yasuyuki Takagi Jung-Sook Choi Torao Ishida Yeunhwa Gu | 2008 | Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine2008,28,1: | 4 |
| 13 | Effect of atrial natriuretic peptide on ischemia-reperfusion injury in a porcine total hepatic vascular exclusion model显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the effect of ANP on warm I/R injury in a porcine THVE model. METHODS: Miniature pigs (mini-pigs) weighing 16-24 kg were observed for 120 min after reperfusion following 120 min of THVE. The animals were divided into two groups. ANP (0.1 μg/kg per min) was administered to the ANP group (n = 7), and vehicle was administered to the control group (n = 7). Either vehicle or ANP was intravenously administered from 30 min before the THVE to the end of the experiment. Arterial blood was collected to measure AST, LDH, and TNF-α. Hepatic tissue blood ? ow (HTBF) was also measured. Liver specimens were harvested for p38 MAPK analysis and histological study. Those results were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The AST and LDH levels were lower in the ANP group than in the control group; the AST levels were signifi cantly different between the two groups (60 min: 568.7 ± 113.3 vs 321.6 ± 60.1, P = 0.038 < 0.05, 120 min: 673.6 ± 148.2 vs 281.1 ± 44.8, P = 0.004 < 0.01). No signifi cant difference was observed in the TNF-α levels between the two groups. HTBF was higher in the ANP group, but the difference was not signif icant. A signifi cantly higher level of phosphorylated p38 MAPK was observed in the ANP group compared to the controlgroup (0 min: 2.92 ± 1.1 vs 6.38 ± 1.1, P = 0.011 < 0.05).Histological tissue damage was milder in the ANP group than in the control group. CONCLUSION: Our results show that ANP has a protective role in I/R injury with p38 MAPK activation in a porcine THVE model. | Katsumi Kobayashi Kiyohiro Oshima Masato Muraoka Takahiko Akao Osamu Totsuka Hisashi Shimizu Hiroaki Sato Kazumi Tanaka Kenjiro Konno Koshi Matsumoto Izumi Takeyoshi | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,25: | 4 |

| 15 | Diagnosis of small intramucosal signet ring cell carcinoma of the stomach by non-magnifying narrow-band imaging: A pilot study显示文摘AIM: To examine the efficacy of non-magnifying narrow-band imaging(NM-NBI) imaging for small signet ring cell carcinoma(SRC).METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 14 consecutive small intramucosal SRCs that had been treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) and 14 randomly selected whitish gastric ulcer scars(control). The strength and shape of the SRCs and whitish scars by NM-NBI and white-light imaging(WLI) were assessed with Image J(NIH, Bethesda).RESULTS: NM-NBI findings of SRC showed a clearly isolated whitish area amid the brown color of the surrounding normal mucosa. The NBI index, which indicates the potency of NBI for visualizing SRC, was significantly higher than the WLI index(P = 0.001), indicating SRC was more clearly identified by NM-NBI. Although the NBI index was not significantly different between SRCs and controls, the circle(C)-index, as an index of circularity of tumor shape, was significantly higher in SRCs(P = 0.001). According to the receiveroperating characteristic analysis, the resulting cut-off value of the circularity index(C-index) for SRC was 0.60(85.7% sensitivity, 85.7% specificity). Thus a lesion with a C-index ≥ 0.6 was significantly more likely to be an SRC than a gastric ulcer scar(OR = 36.0; 95%CI: 4.33-299.09; P = 0.0009).CONCLUSION: Small isolated whitish round area by NM-NBI endoscopy is a useful finding of SRCs which is the indication for ESD. | Jiro Watari Toshihiko Tomita Hisatomo Ikehara Masato Taki Tomohiro Ogawa Takahisa Yamasaki Takashi Kondo Fumihiko Toyoshima Jun Sakurai Tomoaki Kono Katsuyuki Tozawa Yoshio Ohda Tadayuki Oshima Hirokazu Fukui Seiichi Hirota Hiroto Miwa | 2015 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2015,7,12: | 4 |

| 17 | N-Acetyltransferase 2 genetic polymorphisms and risk of colorectal cancer显示文摘AIM:To investigate the possible association between meat intake,cigarette smoking and N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) genetic polymorphisms on colorectal cancer (CRC) risk.METHODS:Patients with CRC were matched for gender and age to healthy controls.Meat intake and cigarette smoking were assessed using a specific frequency questionnaire.DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and the genotypes of the polymorphism were assessed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism.Five NAT2 alleles were studied (WT,M1,M2,M3 and M4) using specific digestion enzymes.RESULTS:A total of 147 patients with colorectal cancer (76 women and 90 men with colon cancer) and 212 controls were studied.The mean age of the two groups was 62 years.More than half the subjects (59.8% in the case group and 51.9% in the control group) were NAT2 slow acetylators.The odds ratio for colorectal cancer was 1.38 (95% CI:0.90-2.12) in slow acetylators.Although the number of women was small (n=76 in the case group),the cancer risk was found to be lower in intermediate (W/Mx) acetylators [odds ratio (OR):0.55,95% confidence interval (95% CI):0.29-1.02].This difference was not observed in men (OR:0.56,95% CI:0.16-2.00).Among NAT2 fast acetylators (W/W or W/Mx),meat consumption more than 3 times a week increased the risk of colorectal cancer (OR:2.05,95% CI:1.01-4.16).In contrast,cigarette smoking increased the risk of CRC among slow acetylators (OR:1.97,95% CI:1.02-3.79).CONCLUSION:The risk of CRC was higher among fast acetylators who reported a higher meat intake.Slow NAT2 acetylation was associated with an increased risk of CRC. | Tiago Donizetti da Silva Aledson Vitor Felipe Jacqueline Miranda de Lima Celina Tizuko Fujiyama Oshima Nora Manoukian Forones | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,6: | 3 |

| 19 | Systematic review:Eosinophilic esophagitis in Asian countries显示文摘AIM: to investigate the prevalence and the clinical characteristics of Asian patients with eosinophilic esophagitis.METHODS: We conducted a systematic search of the Pub Med and Web of Science databases for original studies, case series, and individual case reports of eosinophilic esophagitis in Asian countries published from January 1980 to January 2015. We found 66 and 80 articles in the Pub Med and Web of Science databases, respectively; 24 duplicate articles were removed. After excluding animal studies, articles not written in English, and meeting abstracts, 25 articles containing 217 patients were selected for analysis.RESULTS: Sample size-weighted mean values were determined for all pooled prevalence data and clinical characteristics. The mean age of the adult patients with eosinophilic esophagitis was approximately 50 years, and 73% of these patients were male. They frequently presented with allergic diseases including bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, food allergy, and atopic dermatitis. Bronchial asthma was the most frequent comorbid allergic disease, occurring in 24% of patients with eosinophilic esophagitis. Dysphagia was the primary symptom reported; 44% of the patients complained of dysphagia. Although laboratory blood tests are not adequately sensitive for an accurate diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis, endoscopic examinations revealed abnormal findings typical of this disease, including longitudinal furrows and concentric rings, in 82% of the cases. One-third of the cases responded to proton pump inhibitor administration.CONCLUSION: The characteristics of eosinophilicesophagitis in Asian patients were similar to those reported in Western patients, indicating that this disease displays a similar pathogenesis between Western and Asian patients. | Yoshikazu Kinoshita Norihisa Ishimura Naoki Oshima Shunji Ishihara | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,27: | 3 |
| 20 | Roles of the (pro) renin receptor in the kidney显示文摘Prorenin receptor(PRR) is a multi-functioning protein possessing at least four different roles:(1) working as a receptor for renin and prorenin producing angiotensin I from angiotensinogen thus enhancing the tissue reninangiotensin system;(2) inducing intracellular signals when a ligand binds to PRR;(3) participating in the functions of vacuolar proton ATPase; and(4) constituting the Wnt signaling receptor complex.Here,the roles of PRR in kidney physiology and diabetic conditions as well as recent findings regarding a soluble form of PRR are discussed.We also propose the possible mechanism concerning diabetic nephropathy as 'trade-off hypothesis' from a PRR point of view.In brief,under hyperglycemic conditions,injured podocytes degrade degenerated proteins and intracellular organelles which require V-ATPase and PRR for vesicle internal acidification.Sustained hyperglycemia overproduces PRR molecules,which are transported to the transmembrane and bind to increased serum prorenin in the diabetic condition.This enhances tissue renin-angiotensin system and PRR-mediated mitogen-activated protein kinase signals,resulting in increased injurious molecules such as transforming growth factor-β,cyclooxygenase2,interleukin-1β,and tumor necrosis factor-α ending in diabetic nephropathy progression.Although many findings led us to better PRR understanding,future works should elucidate which PRR functions,of the four discussed here,are dominant in each cell and kidney disease context. | Yoichi Oshima Satoshi Morimoto Atsuhiro Ichihara | 2014 | World Journal of Nephrology2014,3,4: | 3 |
