UV-responsive intracellular signaling pathways: MAPK, p53, and their crosstalk
Matsuda, Naoki Korean Society of Photoscience 2002 Journal of Photosciences Vol.9 No.2
There are two distinct UV-responsive signaling pathways in UV-irradiated mammalian cells, i.e., the DNA damage-dependent and -independent pathways. The former occurs in nucleus and results in growth arrest and apoptosis via post-translational modification of p53. The latter is initiated by oxidative stress and/or by damages in cell membrane or cytoplasm, which activate signaling cascade through intracellular molecules including mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK). In normal human fibroblastic cells, all of MAPK family members, extracellular signal-related kinases (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) and p38, were rapidly phosphorylated following UV-irradiation. ERK phosphorylation was suppressed by an inhibitor of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK). As ERK usually responds to mitogenic stimuli from RTK ligands, UV-induced ERK phosphorylation may be linked to the proliferation of survived cells. In contrast, phosphorylation of JNK and p38, as well as apoptosis, were modulated by the level of UV-generated oxidative stress Therefore, JNK and p38 may take part in oxidative stress-mediated apoptosis. Phosphorylation of p53 at Ser and Thr residues are essential for stabilization and activation of p53. Among several sites reported, we confirmed phosphorylation at Ser-15 and Ser-392 after UV-irradiation. Both of these were inhibited by a phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor, presumably due to the shutdown of signals from DNA damage to p53. Phosphorylation at Ser-392 was also sensitive to an antioxidant and a p38 inhibitor, suggesting that Ser-392 of p53 is one of the possible points where DNA damage-dependent and -independent apoptic signals merge. Thus, MAPK pathway links UV-induced intracellular signals to the nuclear responses and modifies DNA damage-dependent cellular outcome, resulting in the determination of cell death.
Surface and Electronic Properties of Hydrogen Terminated Si [001] Nanowires
Matsuda, Yuki,Tahir-Kheli, Jamil,Goddard , William A. American Chemical Society 2011 JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C - Vol.115 No.25
<P>The calculated band gaps reported previously for silicon nanowires (SiNW) have disagreed with the experimental values both in magnitude and in the behavior with radius. We resolve this discrepancy here. We report ab initio quantum mechanical calculations of hydrogen terminated Si [001] nanowires (H–SiNWs) as a function of diameter (<I>d</I>) and hydrogen coverage using the B3LYP density functional. For smaller diameters (<I>d</I> ≤ 1.9 nm) we find that the most stable surface is fully saturated with hydrogen leading to direct band gaps. For larger diameters, the surface dangling bonds are not saturated, leading to surface LUMO and HOMO states that lower the gap and lead to an indirect band gap. This transition from direct to indirect gap resolves the previous disagreement in the scaling of band gap with diameter. We conclude that the electronic properties of Si NW depend sensitively on controlling the diameter and surface hydrogen coverage.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B> <IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/jpccck/2010/jpccck.2010.115.issue-25/jp106048u/production/images/medium/jp-2010-06048u_0002.gif'></P><P><A href='http://pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1021/jp106048u'>ACS Electronic Supporting Info</A></P>
Failsafe nonsense-mediated mRNA decay does not detectably target eIF4E-bound mRNA
Matsuda, Daiki,Hosoda, Nao,Kim, Yoon Ki,Maquat, Lynne E Nature Publishing Group 2007 Nature Structural and Molecular Biology Vol.14 No.10
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) generally eliminates messenger RNAs that prematurely terminate translation and occurs in all eukaryotes that have been studied, although with mechanistic variations. In mammals, NMD seems to be restricted to newly synthesized mRNA that is bound by the cap-binding heterodimer CBP80-CBP20 (CBP80/20) and typically has at least one exon junction complex (EJC) situated downstream of the nonsense codon and added post-splicing. However, mammalian NMD can also target spliced mRNA lacking an EJC downstream of the nonsense codon. Here we provide evidence that this additional pathway, known as failsafe NMD, likewise seems to be restricted to CBP80/20-bound mRNA and does not detectably target its subsequently remodeled product, eIF4E-bound mRNA. Our studies, including analyses of factor dependence, reveal important shared features of the two mammalian-cell NMD pathways as well as fundamental differences between NMD in mammals and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
An extension plan of Yakushima Biosphere Reserve as a case study of consensus building of islanders
Matsuda, Hiroyuki,Yumoto, Takakazu,Okano, Takahiro,Tetsuka, Kenshi,Fujimaki, Aomi,Shioya, Katsunori The Ecological Society of Korea 2015 Journal of Ecology and Environment Vol.38 No.2
A participatory approach of local stakeholders is important to create a balance between nature protection and the sustainable use of natural resources in a nature reserve and its vicinity area. The zoning and management policy of biosphere reserves (BRs) is a good example of this idea, especially for island reserves. Yakushima was inscribed as a World Natural Heritage (WH) in 1993. Almost all of its residents did not remember that Yakushima was a BR. In addition, Yakushima has some problems in nature reserve management. Overabundance of the deer population is a critical threat to both agriculture and natural vegetation in the world heritage site. There are too many tourists visiting the WH site and Nagata-hama beach. The beach is a Ramsar site and one of the most important spawning grounds of sea turtles in the north Pacific. Now, residents and the municipality have decided to reactivate the Yakushima BR. Although the Ministry of the Environment of Japan has an initiative to manage the WH and the Ramsar site, the BR is managed by the municipality and local stakeholders. Local activities of both nature conservation and the sustainable use of natural resources are encouraged in the BR site. The islanders willingly included all areas of the island into the BR site. Scientists who have participated in the Society of Yakushimaology have played a significant role to build trust between local stakeholders and to seek feasible policies on the nature reserves. The concept of the "Yakushima Environmental Culture Village" is a good model for the extension plan of the Yakushima and Kuchinoerabujima BRs.

Glioblastoma Multiforme in the Pineal Region with Leptomeningeal Dissemination and Lumbar Metastasis
Matsuda, Ryosuke,Hironaka, Yasuo,Suigimoto, Tadashi,Nakase, Hiroyuki The Korean Neurosurgical Society 2015 Journal of Korean neurosurgical society Vol.58 No.5
We report a case of a 31-year-old woman with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in the pineal region with associated leptomeningeal dissemination and lumbar metastasis. The patient presented with severe headache and vomiting. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain showed a heterogeneously enhanced tumor in the pineal region with obstructive hydrocephalus. After an urgent ventricular-peritoneal shunt, she was treated by subtotal resection and chemotherapy concomitant with radiotherapy. Two months after surgery, MRI showed no changes in the residual tumor but leptomeningeal dissemination surrounding the brainstem. One month later, she exhibited severe lumbago and bilateral leg pain. Thoracico-lumbar MRI showed drop like metastasis in the lumbar region. Finally she died five months after the initial diagnosis. Neurosurgeons should pay attention to GBM in the pineal region, not only as an important differential diagnosis among the pineal tumors, but due to the aggressive features of leptomeningeal dissemination and spinal metastasis.
Frustrated minority spins in GeNi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>

<P>Recently, two consecutive phase transitions were observed, upon cooling, in an antiferromagnetic spinel GeNi<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB> at <I>T</I><SUB><I>N</I>1</SUB>=12.1 K and <I>T</I><SUB><I>N</I>2</SUB>=11.4 K, respectively (Crawford M. K. <I>et al</I>., <I>Phys. Rev. B</I>, <B>68</B> (2003) 220408(R)). Using unpolarized and polarized elastic neutron scattering we show that the two transitions are due to the existence of frustrated minority spins in this compound. Upon cooling, at <I>T</I><SUB><I>N</I>1</SUB> the spins on the 〈111〉 kagome planes order ferromagnetically in the plane and antiferromagnetically between the planes (phase I), leaving the spins on the 〈111〉 triangular planes that separate the kagome planes frustrated and disordered. At the lower <I>T</I><SUB><I>N</I>2</SUB>, the triangular spins also order in the 〈111〉 plane (phase II). We also present a scenario involving exchange interactions that qualitatively explains the origin of the two purely magnetic phase transitions.</P>
