The effect of carbon dioxide on yeast growth was investigated during the cultivation of pH 5.0 and pH 6.8. by replacing the nitrogen part with carbon dioxide under aerobic conditions. The values of the specific growth rate under pH 5.0 and pH 6.8 conditions became 64.0% and 46.9%, respectively, compared to those before the change in gas composition. This suggests that the effect of carton dioxide was greater pronounced in pH 6.8 than in pH 5.0. The genome-wide transcriptional response to elevated carbon dioxide was examined using a DNA microarray. As for upregulated genes, it was noteworthy that 3 genes were induced upon entry into a stationary phase and 6 genes were involved in stress response. Of 53 downregulated genes, 22 genes were involved in the ribosomal biogenesis and assembly and 5 genes were involved in the lipid metabolism. These facts suggest that carbon dioxide could bring the cell conditions partially to a stationary phase. The ALD6 gene encoding for cytosolic acetaldehyde dehydrogenase was downregulated, which would lead to a lack of cell components for the growth. The downregulation of ALD6 was greater in pH 6.8 than in pH 5.0. consistent with physiological response. This suggests that it might be the most effective factor for growth inhibition.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P><B>Objective</B></P><P>Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α is known to be elevated in plasma and the aorta in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) patients. We sought to clarify the role of TNF-α converting enzyme (Tace), which cleaves the transmembrane precursor of TNF-α, in AAA development.</P><P><B>Methods</B></P><P>We obtained aortic sample of AAA during surgical operation to assess the histological features and protein expression of human AAA. AAA was induced in mice with temporal systemic deletion of Tace by the inducible Mx-1 Cre transgene (TaceMx1) and in wild-type littermates (CON) by periaortic application of CaCl<SUB>2</SUB> (AAA/TaceMx1, AAA/CON).</P><P><B>Results</B></P><P>Tace expression was increased in human AAA samples as compared with normal aorta. Six weeks postoperatively, aortic diameter in AAA/TaceMx1 was decreased than in AAA/CON in association with attenuated TNF-α expression and extracellular matrix disruption. Increased activities of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and MMP-2, numbers of Mac-2-positive macrophages, CD3-positive T lymphocytes and CD31-positive vessels in periaortic tissues, mRNA expression of CD68, monocyte chemotactic protein-1, TNF-α, vascular endothelial growth factor-A, p47 and glutathione peroxidases, and protein expression of phospho-c-Jun N-terminal kinase in AAA were all attenuated by Tace deletion. Protein expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 was upregulated by Tace deletion in sham-operated mice. TGF-β1 expression was further increased in AAA/TaceMx1.</P><P><B>Conclusions</B></P><P>Tace was overexpressed in the aortic wall in human and experimental AAA. Temporal systemic deletion of Tace prevented AAA development in association with attenuating inflammation, oxidative stress, neoangiogenesis and extracellular matrix disruption, suggesting a crucial role of Tace in AAA development.</P>

Metabolic diseases, including obesity, diabetes, and fatty liver disease, are dramatically increasing around theworld. Seaweed is low in calories and rich in many active ingredients that are necessary for maintaining good health, and isexpected to be effective for preventing metabolic diseases. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a traditionalJapanese edible seaweed Hypnea asiatica (H. asiatica) on obesity, using a mouse model. H. asiatica was dried andpowdered, mixed with a high-fat diet, and fed to male C57BL/6J mice for 13 weeks. On the last day of the experiment, bloodsamples were collected under anesthesia and biochemical parameters such as lipids and adipokines were measured. Liver andadipose tissue were excised, weighed, and oxidant/antioxidant parameters were measured. Some mice were perfused with afixative solution containing formalin, and tissue specimens were prepared. A glucose tolerance test was used to assess insulinresistance. The inhibition of lipase activity was evaluated in vitro. Thirteen-week supplementation with H. asiatica suppressedbody weight gain, body fat accumulation, and blood glucose levels. H. asiatica also improved fatty liver and hypercholesterolemia,and reduced the oxidant and inflammatory parameters of serum and liver. H. asiatica increased fecal triglycerideexcretion and polyphenol-rich ethanol extract of H. asiatica inhibited lipase activity in vitro. These results suggest thatpolysaccharides and polyphenols in H. asiatica may ameliorate obesity and diabetes by inhibiting intestinal fat absorption andreducing oxidative stress and inflammation. H. asiatica may be useful in preventing metabolic diseases such as obesity,diabetes, and fatty liver.
