    BACKGROUND: Octamer-binding transcription factor 4A (OCT4A) is essential for cell pluripotency and reprogramming both in humans and mice. To date, however, the function of human OCT4 in somatic and/or tumour tissues is largely unknown. METHODS: RT-PCR was used to identify full-length splice forms of OCT4 transcripts in normal and cancer cells. A FLAG-tagged OCT4 genomic transgene was used to identify OCT4-positive cancer cells. A potential role for OCT4 in somatic cancer cells was examined by cell ablation of OCT4-positive cells using promoter-driven diphtheria toxin A. OCT4 and secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) transcripts in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma tumours were analysed and compared with pathohistological features. RESULTS: The results show that, unlike in murine cells, OCT4A and OCT4B variants are transcribed in both human cancer cells and in adult tissues such as lung, kidney, uterus, breast, and eye. We found that OCT4A and SPP1C are co-expressed in highly aggressive human breast, endometrial, and lung adenocarcinoma cell lines, but not in mesothelial tumour cell lines. Ablation of OCT4-positive cells in lung adenocarcinoma cells significantly decreased cell migration and SPP1C mRNA levels. The OCT4A/SPP1C axis was found in primary, early-stage, lung adenocarcinoma tumours. CONCLUSIONS: Co-expression of OCT4 and SPP1 may correlate with cancer aggressiveness, and the OCT4A/SPP1C axis may help identify early-stage high-risk patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Contrary to the case in mice, our data strongly suggest a critical role for OCT4A and SPP1C in the development and progression of human epithelial cancers.

    The role of octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (OCT4) in human cancer is still debated. Although many studies have been published on human OCT4, determining which of the findings are accurate or which are false-positives is currently challenging. We thus developed the most reliable method to date for highly specific and comprehensive detection of genuine OCT4-transcript variants without false-positive results. Our results provided clear evidence that the transcripts of OCT4A, OCT4B, OCT4B1, and other novel splicing variants are indeed present in many cancer cell lines, but are rarely detected in normal tissue-derived differentiated cells. Using the tagged genomic transgene, we then verified endogenous OCT4A translation in cancer cell subpopulations. Moreover, analysis of possible other protein isoforms by enforced expression of OCT4B variants showed that the B164 isoform, designated human OCT4C, is preferentially produced in a cap-dependent manner. We confirmed that the OCT4C isoform, similar to OCT4A, can transform non-tumorigenic fibroblasts in vitro. Finally, ablation of OCT4-positive cells using promoter-driven diphtheria toxin A in high malignant cancer cells caused a significant decrease in migration and Matrigel invasion. These findings strongly suggest a significant contribution of OCT4 to the phenotype of human cancer cells. Stem Cells 2018.

    本研究は未だ不明が多いリンパ系の解剖学を明らかにし、それに基いたリンパシンチグラフィの検査方法と読影方法を確立させることで、リンパ浮腫に対する予防・治療のエビデンスを確立させるものである。リンパ系の解剖はリンパ管とリンパ節のそれぞれの位置情報と双方の関係が重要になるが、申請者は新鮮遺体を用いて、短時間にリンパ管の走行情報収集する技術(ICG蛍光リンパ管造影法)とその機器を開発した。それを用いて、100肢分を解析した。上肢リンパ管を走行的に独立した5つのグループに分けることに成功した。それが撓側皮静脈・尺側皮静脈など皮静脈に強く関係することも明らかにしている。そのため、それぞれの群を、撓側・尺側・背撓側・背尺側・正中群と名付けた。また、CTリンパ管造影法を発展させ、多数の遺体からリンパ管とリンパ節の関係性を上肢にて明らかにし、発表している。これによると上肢リンパ管の機能は腋窩・肘窩リンパ節のうち3つが主に担っていることが明らかになった。さらにマイナーなリンパ節が、鎖骨部も含めて2系統存在していることがわかっている。また逆にそれ以外の腋窩リンパ節は前胸部など近位部位の機能を担っていることが示唆されている。次に、遺体研究により培った解剖学的情報より、リンパ浮腫患者におけるリンパ管造影法の変化を書きらかにすべき解析を開始している。現時点では、ICG蛍光リンパ管造影法で解析をしている。

    We found that OCT4A and SPP1C are co-expressed in highly aggressive human breast, endometrial, and lung adenocarcinoma cell lines, but not in mesothelial tumour cell lines. Ablation of OCT4-positive cells in lung adenocarcinoma cells significantly decreased cell migration and SPP1C mRNA levels. The OCT4A/SPP1C axis was found in primary, early-stage, lung adenocarcinoma tumours.

    Oct4A, a POU-family transcription factor, is an indispensable and the preeminent pluripotency factor. However, whether Oct4 function in somatic tissues remains debated. Here we tried some useful systems to correctly understand somatic OCT4 gene function. Our findings open up the possibility again that OCT4 can be normal tissue stem cells and/or tumor initiating cells marker and could play a pivotal role in somatic tissues. In this study, we identified and characterized OCT4 transcripts and their translation products in human carcinoma cell lines.

    We tried to investigate roles of Oct3/4 gene during development of normal retina and retinal diseases including tumors. At the first step, we re-investigated Oct3/4 expression in mouse eye. We isolated a novel Oct3/4 variant from normal mouse retina, which is regulated under translational control. Using human retinoblastoma and other carcinoma cell lines, we tested the expression of Oct3/4 transcripts and identified a variety of novel ones. Our results showed the clear different pattern between mice and human Oct3/4 gene variants expression, providing available relevant information for understanding the function of Oct3/4 in somatic tissue.

    幼弱期のマウス網膜組織内に、光受容体細胞(視細胞)の形質を獲得しているにもかかわらず、取り出して培養すると増殖を開始して他の網膜神経細胞へ分化転換するという細胞を発見した。その細胞は組織傷害時などに細胞分裂を開始し他の神経を生み出す幹細胞として機能しうる可能性が器官培養系の結果から得られ、全く新規の網膜幹細胞であることが示唆された。またその細胞の遺伝子発現を網羅的に解析し、網膜の発生・分化・疾患に関わる遺伝子候補を多数同定した。

    Vertebrate pigmented epithelial cells (PECs) are unique in their ability to transdifferentiate to lens and neural retinal cells.To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the multi-potency of PECs, we focused on the role and regulation of Mitf, a basic-helix-loop-helix-zipper transcriptional factor.
    Chicken Mitf is first detected in the proximal region of the optic vesicle, a presumptive pigmented epithelium, at a stage when no other markers for PECs are detected.The expression increases according to the PEC differentiation both in vivo and in vitro.Mitf expression is down-regulated by FGF and EGF treatments, which induce dedifferentiation and transdifferentiation.Overexpression of Mitf using a retrovirus vector supports expression of pigment cell specific genes, mmpll5 and tyrosinase, and inhibits transdifferentiation
    We found that a silver mutation in Japanese quail is caused by a loss-of-function mutation in the Mitf.A part of PECs in the silver quail spontaneously transdifferentiate to neural retinal cells in vivo.Isolated PECs from the silver mutant frequently transdifferentiate to both lens and neural cells in vitro with no addition of growth factors, while either FGF or EGF is required for wild type PECs to transdifferentiate.
    These results demonstrate that Mitf has a critical role in regulation of transdifferentiation and suggest that the regulational mechanism for Mitf expression should be analysed to reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying the multi-potency OF pigmented epithelial cells.

    Since this year is the last year of our collaborative studies, we concentrate our effort to the studies using urodelan amphibian species, Cynopus pyrrhogaster, the Japanese newt, and unstudied problems about the lens regeneration phenomenon, i.e. i) relationship between the aging of the iris pigmented epithelium and its regenerative ability to produce a new lens, ii) molecular basis of the localization of lens regenerative potency to the dorsal margin of the iris, and iii) expression pattern of the genes which are important in the early embryogenesis processes during the lens regeneration process in the adult iris.
    i) We have induced continuous cell proliferation in the iris pigmented epithelial cells by successive surgeries of removing the lens from the same eye. After about 10th operations, we have observed a conspicuous delay in the process of the lens regeneration. This observation strongly suggests that the aging of the iris pigmented epithelial cells, which give rise to the regeneration of the lens, may finally results in the loss of the potency of the lens regeneration.
    ii) When the FGF,fibroblst growth factor, is continuously injected in excessive amount into the eye, the lens regeneration besides the dorsal most iris was induced. This result suggests that the stimulation of the FGF receptor may induce the inhibition of lens regeneration processes.
    iii) Genes which have been indicated to take important roles in the tissue interactions in the early embryogenesis, such as pax-6, FGF-1, FGFR-1, FGFR-2, FGFR-3, prox-1, and ssh, were also evidenced to show characteristic expression patterns in the lens regeneration processes. This suggests that these genes are important in the regulation of tissue interactions in the lens regeneration processes.
    Results indicated above are new and important results. The result i) has prompted us to start preparation of a set of newt individuals which are raised from fertilized eggs and have definitive record to their age, which makes it possible to study the relationship between aging and the lens regeneration potency more thoroughly. We have also started the analyzes at the level of the genes concerning the result ii). Part of the result iii) have already published. The results obtained in this year have, thus, made it possible to start a new series of investigations with higher scientific significance.

    The following results were obtained by conducting the research plans in 1996.
    (1) Through extensive studies to improve our authentic in vitro transdifferentiation system of retinal pigmented epithelial cells (PECs) from 8 to 10-day-old chick embryos, both bFGF were found to be essential factors regulating transdifferentiation of PECs. In addition, by introducing these tow growth factors to cell cultures, we succeeded in establishing a novel and highly stable in vitro experimental system of the iris PECs from neuwly-hatched chicks. The system allows us to manipulate the whole process of the lens transdifferentiation of PECs without any artificial reagent.
    (2) Analyzes using this system revealed that activation of MAP kinase is an essential requisite for dedif-ferentiation of PECs and that the expression of two homeobox genes, pax6 and six3 are dramatically enhanced by coordinated functions of bFGF and EGF.
    (3) The following results were obtained through detailed analysis of changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM) during transdifferentiation of PECs that beta1 integrin plays an essential role in stable maintenance of the differentiated state of PECs by transmitting signals from ECM components to PECs, and that beta1 integrin molecules are readily phospholylated to lose their function when dedifferentiation of PECs is initiated.
    (4) It was resulted in by cloning and structural and functional analysis of avian microphthalmia gene (mi) that mutation of mi must be responsible for ectopic formation of the neural retina from the developing pigmented epithelium in Silver mutant of the quail, and also that mi is one of essential genes, which regulate dedifferentiation and transdifferentiation of the vertebrate PEC.
    (5) These findings must provide the fundamental information required for approaching to the molecular mechanisms involved in transdifferentiation and stability in differentiation of tissue cells in general.

    ニワトリ(孵化後1-2日)の眼球より虹彩色素上皮細胞を分離し培養を行い、色素細胞の分化状態を安定に維持する条件、及びレンズ細胞へ効率よく分化転換させうる最適条件を決定することができた(国際学術誌に投稿準備中)。今回得られた虹彩色素上皮培養系はその安定性、再現性、分化転換効率が、従来の網膜色素上皮細胞培養系に比べ非常に高く、レンズ再生の分子機構の解明に優れたモデル系となり得ると考えられた。
    色素上皮細胞がレンズ細胞へ分化転換する過程において、bFGF(basic fibloblast growth factorは必須の因子であり、色素上皮細胞の脱分化過程、レンズ細胞への再分化過程の双方のステップにおいて重要な働きを持つことが示唆された。さらに、各種増殖関連因子を培養系に添加しその影響を検討した結果、EGF(epidermal growth factor)が虹彩色素上皮細胞の分化状態に著名な変化を及ぼすことが初めて明らかとなった。予備的実験から、EGFは虹彩色素上皮細胞の脱分化を促進する可能性が示唆され、この因子の分化転換過程での働きを明らかにするとともに、生体でのレンズ再生過程におけるEGFの関与についても現在解析中である。
    上記のニワトリ色素上皮細胞による分化転換過程の解析を行うと共に、トランスジェニック実験系が確立しているマウスにおいても虹彩色素上皮細胞の培養を試みた。その結果、野生型マウス由来の色素上皮細胞は早い段階で増殖が停止し株化は困難であったが、ガン抑制遺伝子P35分子の遺伝子をジーンターゲット法により破壊したマウス(p53ノックアウトマウス)由来のものでは、長期間培養が可能で、10数種の独立した細胞株をクローニングすることに成功した。現在、これらの細胞株についての性状分析を行っている。
