Profile Summary 【 Display / hide

  • 私たちは、胎児への薬物分布を制御する胎盤関門について研究しています。主に安全性の問題から、妊娠中疾患は薬物治療の貢献が不十分です。薬物の胎児影響は実験動物を用いて評価せざるを得ませんが、薬物の胎児移行性を規定する胎盤関門輸送体の中にはヒトだけにあるものや、ヒトとラットの間で発現量が異なるものがあり、ヒト胎児移行性の予測を困難にしています。私たちは、胎盤関門輸送体機能の種差を解明することなどを通じ、ヒト胎児中薬物濃度の予測精度を高め、妊婦で使用可能な薬物の選択肢を増やすことを目指しています。今後の医療は疾患の素因をあらかじめ摘み取る先制医療へとシフトしていきます。生活習慣病や精神・神経疾患の素因が形成される胎児の環境を直接的に制御するのは、胎盤関門です。胎盤関門機能の理解から、将来の疾患発症リスクを軽減する先制医療を実現させることが大きな目標です。

  • Involvement of GAT2/Slc6a13 in hypotaurine uptake at fetal-facing plasma membrane of syncytiotrophoblasts at mid-to-late gestation in rats and mice

    Nishimura T., Araki H., Higuchi K., Noguchi S., Saito K., Hara K., Yagishita H., Akashi R., Obata S., Tomi M.

    Placenta (Placenta)  147   59 - 67 2024.03

     View Summary

    Introduction: Hypotaurine, a precursor to taurine, is known for its antioxidant properties and is prominently present in fetal plasma and the placenta. Our previous research revealed that ezrin-knockout mice experience fetal growth retardation, coinciding with reduced hypotaurine levels in fetal plasma. This study aims to elucidate the expression and role of hypotaurine transporters within the placenta. Methods: We employed quantitative RT-PCR to measure mRNA expression of GAT transporter family members in the placenta during mid-to-late gestation. LC/MS/MS was used to analyze the distribution of hypotaurine in different placental subregions. Immunohistochemistry was utilized to examine the localization of GAT2 in mice. Placental hypotaurine uptake from fetal circulation was studied via umbilical perfusion in rats. Results: Among hypotaurine transporters, GAT2 exhibited increased mRNA and protein expression in murine placenta during mid-to-late gestation. Notably, GAT2/Slc6a13 mRNA and hypotaurine were most concentrated in the labyrinth of murine placenta. In contrast, enzymes responsible for hypotaurine synthesis, such as cysteine dioxygenase, cysteine sulfinic acid decarboxylase, and 2-aminoethanethiol dioxygenase, showed minimal expression in the labyrinth. These findings suggest that GAT2 is a key determinant of hypotaurine levels in the placental labyrinth. Immunohistochemical examination unveiled that GAT2 was predominantly localized on the fetal-facing plasma membrane within syncytiotrophoblasts, which co-localized with ezrin. In rat umbilical perfusion experiments, the GAT2/3 and TauT inhibitor, SNAP-5114, significantly reduced hypotaurine extraction from fetal circulation to the placenta. Discussion: The results suggest that GAT2 plays a pivotal role in the concentrative uptake of hypotaurine from fetal plasma within syncytiotrophoblasts of the placenta.

  • L-Type Amino Acid Transporter 1 (SLC7A5)-Mediated Transport of Pregabalin at the Rat Blood-Spinal Cord Barrier and its Sensitivity to Plasma Branched-Chain Amino Acids.

     View Summary

    Pregabalin is an anti-neuropathic pain drug inhibiting the α2δ subunit of the voltage-dependent calcium channel in the spinal cord. The aim of this study is to characterize the transport mechanism of pregabalin at the blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) by means of in vivo experiments in rats and in vitro studies using primary-cultured rat spinal cord endothelial cells. We isolated endothelial cells by culturing rat spinal cord tissue in the presence of puromycin, and confirmed the expression of BSCB markers such as Cd31, Mdr1a, and Claudin-5. The uptake of pregabalin by primary-cultured rat spinal cord endothelial cells was sodium-independent and was significantly inhibited by L-leucine, 2-aminobicyclo-(2,2,1)-heptane-2-carboxylic acid, and JPH203. These results suggest the involvement of L-type amino acid transporter (LAT) 1. LAT1 mRNA and protein was expressed in primary-cultured rat spinal cord endothelial cells, which is consistent with LAT1 expression at the BSCB. In the in vivo study, the transfer of pregabalin to rat spinal cord and brain was significantly decreased by the pre-administration of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are endogenous substrates of LAT1. Our results indicate that pregabalin transport across the BSCB is mediated at least in part by LAT1 and is inhibited by plasma BCAAs.

  • Breast Cancer Resistance Protein Limits Fetal Transfer of Tadalafil in Mice

     View Summary

    Tadalafil, a phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, is a candidate therapeutic agent for fetal growth restriction and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. In this study, we elucidated the fetal transfer of tadalafil in comparison with that of sildenafil, the first PDE5 inhibitor to be approved. We also examined the contributions of multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) to fetal transfer. Tadalafil or sildenafil was administered to wild-type, Mdr1a/b-double-knockout or Bcrp-knockout pregnant mice by continuous infusion from gestational day (GD) 14.5 to 17.5, and the fetal-to-maternal plasma concentration ratio of unbound drug (unbound F/M ratio) was evaluated at GD 17.5. The values of unbound F/M ratio of tadalafil and sildenafil in wild-type mice were 0.80 and 1.6, respectively. The unbound F/M ratio of tadalafil was increased to 1.1 and 1.7 in Mdr1a/b-knockout and Bcrp-knockout mice, respectively, while the corresponding values for sildenafil were equal to or less than that in wild-type mice, respectively. A transcellular transport study revealed that basal-to-apical transport of both tadalafil and sildenafil was significantly higher than transport in the opposite direction in MDCKII-BCRP cells. Our research reveals that tadalafil is a newly identified substrate of human and mouse BCRP, and it appears that the fetal transfer of tadalafil is, at least in part, attributed to the involvement of BCRP within the placental processes in mice. The transfer of sildenafil to the fetus was not significantly constrained by BCRP, even though sildenafil was indeed a substantial substrate for BCRP.

     View Summary

    Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are a promising cell source for elucidating disease pathology and therapy. The mass supply of hiPSC-derived cells is technically feasible. Carriers that can contain a large number of hiPSC-derived cells and evaluate their functions in vivo-like environments will become increasingly important for understanding disease pathogenesis or treating end-stage organ failure. hiPSC-derived hepatocyte-like cells (hiPSC-HLCs; 5 × 108) were seeded into decellularized organ-derived scaffolds under circumfusion culture. The scaffolds were implanted into immunodeficient microminiature pigs to examine their applicability in vivo. The seeded hiPSC-HLCs demonstrated increased albumin secretion and up-regulated cytochrome P450 activities compared with those in standard two-dimensional culture conditions. Moreover, they showed long-term survival accompanied by neovascularization in vivo. The decellularized organ-derived scaffold is a promising carrier for hiPSC-derived cells for ex vivo and in vivo use and is an essential platform for regenerative medicine and research.

    ISSN  2432-4124

     View Summary

    <p>Review of the challenges posed by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic at Keio University Faculty of Pharmacy. We shared the latest information needed to conduct online classes with faculty and staff, held seminars on using learning management systems, creating video content, and for copyright adherence of educational materials. For freshmen of the Faculty of Pharmacy, an online communication session was held in April of 2020 and a subsequent environment for conducting face-to-face classes once a week was implemented from June of 2020. At our campus, students were able to participate more actively as college students, have interactions with their peers, ask questions, and consult with the faculty. From questionnaires about online classes, problems facing the students were identified and presented to our faculty for purposes of improving learning content. The number of students who chose the option "I don't have an opportunity to talk with my friends" tends to decrease as the academic year of education rises. Hence, more consideration should be given particularly to the first-year students. All students tended to have relatively good impressions about online classes due to the efficiency and ability for repeated viewing of lecture content. We would like to utilize the knowledge acquired from the past 10 months to provide more effective classes and further enhance the educational impact at the Faculty of Pharmacy.</p>

     View Summary

    Syncytin-2, a molecule specifically expressed in the placenta, has membrane fusion capacities and contributes to the barrier formation through syncytialization. In this study, it is indicated that the uptake of JEG-3 cell-derived exosome to human hepatic HepG2 cells was significantly enhanced when the expression of syncytin-2 in JEG-3 cells was induced. The placenta-specific miRNA is detected from HepG2 cells exposed to JEG-3 cell-derived exosomes, implying that exosomal syncytin-2 is capable to mediate cell-to-cell communication through the exosome. However, the expression of MFSD2A, a receptor of syncytin-2, is found not to be constitutively expressed in the mouse liver. Therefore, it is necessary to further confirm whether syncytin-2-expressing exosome is preferably binds to hepatic cells. We also found that MFSD2A involves in the supply of docosahexaenoic acid to the fetus.

     View Summary

    The purpose of the present study was to clarify the transporters mediating the fetal transfer of tryptophan and examine the importance of an adequate supply of tryptophan into the fetus. This study described the amount and localization of LAT1 protein, a transporter for large neutral amino acids including tryptophan, at the placental barrier. It is also observed that the tissue distribution of LAT1 substrate is suppressed by an increase of LAT1-substrate amino acids in the plasma. For serotonin, we have clarified OCTN1 protein accepts it as a substrate and is expressed at the placental barrier at term. However, the effect of tryptophan imbalance in the diet was negligible in the plasma concentration of amino acids.

    Placenta is an interface between mother and fetus and it has a role of nutrients transfer. The placenta has the function mitigating the osmotic stress exposed from maternal blood. Part of amino acid is transferred via amino acid transport system A from mother to fetus in the placenta. In this study, we clarified that expression of the system A molecule can be more quickly increased in response to the osmotic stress than other molecules and we investigated how the system A molecules is induced by hypertonic stress.

    We have clarified the developmental change in the placental transporters such as glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) and monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1), while the expressions of ABC transporters such as MDR1 and BCRP were unchanged during pregnancy. We also found a placenta-derived miRNA which may work for maturation of both placental and blood-brain barrier. These observations are helpful for examining the interorgan network in the fetoplacental circulation for establishing and managing barriers in the placenta and the brain.
