Familial neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus (FNDI) is a degenerative disorder in which vasopressin-secreting neurons degenerate over time due to the production of mutant proteins. We have demonstrated therapeutic effects of chemical chaperones in an FNDI mouse model, but the complexity and length of this evaluation were problematic. In this study, we established disease-specific mouse induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from FNDI-model mice and differentiated vasopressin neurons that produced mutant proteins. Fluorescence immunostaining showed that chemical chaperones appeared to protect vasopressin neurons generated from iPSCs derived from FNDI-model mice. Although KCL stimulation released vasopressin hormone from vasopressin neurons generated from FNDI-derived iPSCs, vasopressin hormone levels did not differ significantly between baseline and chaperone-added culture. Semi-quantification of vasopressin carrier protein and mutant protein volumes in vasopressin neurons confirmed that chaperones exerted a therapeutic effect. This research provides fundamental technology for creating in vitro disease models using human iPSCs and can be applied to therapeutic evaluation of various degenerative diseases that produce abnormal proteins.

Background: In recent years, technologies promoting the digitization of self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) records including app-cloud cooperation systems have emerged. Studies combining these technological interventions with support from remote health care professionals have reported improvements in glycemic control. Objective: To assess the use of an app-cloud cooperation system linked with SMBG devices in clinical settings, we evaluated its effects on outpatient management of diabetes without remote health care professional support. Methods: In this multicenter, open-label, and single-armed prospective study, 48 patients with diabetes (including type 1 and type 2) at 3 hospitals in Japan treated with insulin or glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists and performing SMBG used the app-cloud cooperation system for 24 weeks. The SMBG data were automatically uploaded to the cloud via the app. The patients could check their data, and their attending physicians reviewed the data through the cloud prior to the patients’ regular visits. The primary outcome was changes in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. Results: Although HbA1c levels did not significantly change in all patients, the frequency of daily SMBG following applying the system was significantly increased before induction at 12 (0.60 per day, 95% CI 0.19-1.00; P=.002) and 24 weeks (0.43 per day, 95% CI 0.02-0.84; P=.04). In the subset of 21 patients whose antidiabetic medication had not been adjusted during the intervention period, a decrease in HbA1c level was observed at 12 weeks (P=.02); however, this significant change disappeared at 24 weeks (P=.49). The Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire total score and “Q4: convenience” and “Q5: flexibility” scores significantly improved after using the system (all P<.05), and 72% (33/46) patients and 76% (35/46) physicians reported that the app-cloud cooperation system helped them adjust insulin doses. Conclusions: The digitization of SMBG records and sharing of the data by patients and attending physicians during face-to-face visits improved self-management in patients with diabetes.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can cause immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in several organs including endocrine glands. Among endocrine irAEs, thyroid and pituitary irAEs are frequently observed, followed by primary adrenal insufficiency, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and hypoparathyroidism. These conditions could lead to life-threatening consequences, such as adrenal crisis and diabetic ketoacidosis. On the other hand, several types of irAEs including thyroid and pituitary irAEs are reported to be associated with better overall survival. Therefore, it is important to understand and manage endocrine irAEs, which differ depending on the ICI regimen used. In this review, we describe the clinical features, potential biomarkers, management strategies, and possible mechanisms of thyroid and pituitary irAEs.

Aims: In our previously reported randomized controlled trial in patients with noninsulin-treated type 2 diabetes, the use of flash glucose monitoring (FGM) improved glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and the improvement was sustained after the cessation of glucose monitoring. In this post-hoc analysis, we examined data from our trial to identify the factors that influenced FGM efficacy. Methods: We analyzed data for 48 of 49 participants of the FGM group who completed the trial to clarify the changes in various parameters and factors related to HbA1c improvement with the use of FGM. Results: Analyses of the FGM data during the 12-week FGM provision period showed that the weekly mean blood glucose levels considerably decreased as early as at 1 week compared with the baseline values, and this decline continued for 12 weeks. An enhancement in the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire regarding “willingness to continue the current treatment” score was significantly associated with the improvement in HbA1c at 12 (p = 0.009) and 24 weeks (p = 0.012). Conclusions: Glycemic control was improved soon after FGM initiation, accompanied by improved satisfaction with continuation of the current treatment in patients with noninsulin-treated type 2 diabetes.

CONTEXT: Positive antithyroglobulin (TgAb) and/or antithyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) at baseline indicate a high risk of thyroid immune-related adverse events (irAEs) induced by antiprogrammed cell death-1 antibodies (anti-PD-1-Ab). However, whether the positivity patterns of both antibodies are associated with the risk of thyroid irAEs is unknown. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to clarify the association of the pattern of TgAb and TPOAb positivity at baseline with the risk of thyroid irAEs induced by anti-PD-1-Ab. METHODS: Patients (n = 516) were evaluated for TgAb and TPOAb at baseline and prospectively for thyroid function every 6 weeks for 24 weeks after initiating anti-PD-1-Ab. RESULTS: Fifty-one (9.9%) patients developed thyroid irAEs (thyrotoxicosis in 34, hypothyroidism without prior thyrotoxicosis in 17). Twenty-five patients subsequently developed hypothyroidism following thyrotoxicosis. The cumulative incidence of thyroid irAEs differed among 4 groups classified by the presence of TgAb/TPOAb at baseline (group 1: TgAb-(-)/TPOAb-(-), 4.6% [19/415]; group 2: TgAb-(-)/TPOAb-(+), 15.8% [9/57]; group 3: TgAb-(+)/TPOAb-(-), 42.1% [8/19]; group 4: TgAb-(+)/TPOAb-(+), 60.0% [15/25]) as follows: groups 1 vs 2-4 (P ≤ .001) and groups 2 vs 3 (P = .008) and 4 (P < .001). There were different incidences of thyrotoxicosis (groups 1-4, 3.1%, 5.3%, 31.6%, 48.0%, respectively; P < .001) in groups 1 vs 3 and 4, and groups 2 vs 3 and 4, and of hypothyroidism (groups 1-4: 2.9%, 15.8%, 31.6%, 60.0%, respectively; P < .001) in groups 1 vs 2 to 4, and groups 2 vs 4. CONCLUSION: The risk of thyroid irAEs was affected by the pattern of TgAb and TPOAb positivity at baseline; there were high risks of thyrotoxicosis in patients with TgAb-(+) and of hypothyroidism in patients with TgAb-(+) and those with TPOAb-(+).

Pituitary organoids are promising graft sources for transplantation in treatment of hypopituitarism. Building on development of self-organizing culture to generate pituitary-hypothalamic organoids (PHOs) using human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), we established techniques to generate PHOs using feeder-free hPSCs and to purify pituitary cells. The PHOs were uniformly and reliably generated through preconditioning of undifferentiated hPSCs and modulation of Wnt and TGF-β signaling after differentiation. Cell sorting using EpCAM, a pituitary cell-surface marker, successfully purified pituitary cells, reducing off-target cell numbers. EpCAM-expressing purified pituitary cells reaggregated to form three-dimensional pituitary spheres (3D-pituitaries). These exhibited high adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretory capacity and responded to both positive and negative regulators. When transplanted into hypopituitary mice, the 3D-pituitaries engrafted, improved ACTH levels, and responded to in vivo stimuli. This method of generating purified pituitary tissue opens new avenues of research for pituitary regenerative medicine.

Hyperglycemia impairs immune response; however, it remains unknown whether the anti-tumor effects of anti-programmed cell death-1 antibody (PD-1-Ab) treatment are changed in hyperglycemic conditions. We analyzed the effect of PD-1-Ab on tumor growth in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice (STZ-mice) subcutaneously inoculated with MC38 (a colon carcinoma cell line). Furthermore, we assessed the expression of chemokines by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) array in tumor-draining lymph nodes (dLNs) of these mice and MC38 cells cultured in different glucose concentrations. The suppressive effect of PD-1-Ab on tumor growth was attenuated. This was accompanied by fewer tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells, and STZ-mice had fewer tumor-infiltrating CD11c+ dendritic cells (DCs) than normoglycemic mice. mRNA expression levels of CXCL9, a chemokine recruiting CD8+ T cells, were lower in dLNs of STZ-mice than in normoglycemic mice after PD-1-Ab treatment, and its protein was expressed in DCs. In MC38 cells cultured with 25 mM glucose, mRNA expression of CCL7, a chemokine recruiting DCs, was decreased compared to cells cultured with 5 mM glucose. These results suggest that the STZ-induced hyperglycemia impairs the effect of PD-1-Ab treatment on MC38 tumor growth, and is accompanied by reduced infiltration of DCs and CD8+ T cells and decreased expression of CCL7 and CXCL9.

Introduction: Immune-checkpoint inhibitors are effective in various advanced cancers. Type 1 diabetes mellitus induced by them (ICI-T1DM) is a serious complication requiring prompt insulin treatment, but the immunological mechanism behind it is unclear. Methods: We examined amino acid polymorphisms in human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules and investigated proinsulin epitope binding affinities to HLA molecules. Results and Discussion: Twelve patients with ICI-T1DM and 35 patients in a control group without ICI-T1DM were enrolled in the study. Allele and haplotype frequencies of HLA-DRB1*04:05, DQB1*04:01, and most importantly DPB1*05:01 were significantly increased in patients with ICI-T1DM. In addition, novel amino acid polymorphisms in HLA-DR (4 polymorphisms), in DQ (12 polymorphisms), and in DP molecules (9 polymorphisms) were identified. These amino acid polymorphisms might be associated with the development of ICI-T1DM. Moreover, novel human proinsulin epitope clusters in insulin A and B chains were discovered in silico and in vitro peptide binding assays to HLA-DP5. In conclusion, significant amino acid polymorphisms in HLA-class II molecules, and conformational alterations in the peptide-binding groove of the HLA-DP molecules were considered likely to influence the immunogenicity of proinsulin epitopes in ICI-T1DM. These amino acid polymorphisms and HLA-DP5 may be predictive genetic factors for ICI-T1DM.

Objective: Resting energy expenditure (REE) decreases if there is reduced energy intake and body weight (BW). The decrease in REE could make it difficult for patients with obesity to maintain decreased BW. This study aimed to investigate the correlation among changes in REE, energy intake, and BW during the weight loss process in patients with obesity. Materials and methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients hospitalized for the treatment of obesity in Japan. Patients received fully controlled diet during hospitalization and performed exercises if able. REE was measured once a week using a hand-held indirect calorimetry. Energy intake was determined by actual dietary intake. Results: Of 44 inpatients with obesity, 17 were included in the analysis. Their BW decreased significantly after 1 week (-4.7 ± 2.0 kg, P < 0.001) and 2 weeks (-5.7 ± 2.2 kg, P < 0.001). The change in REE after 1 and 2 weeks was positively correlated with the energy intake/energy expenditure ratio (r = 0.66, P = 0.004 at 1 week, r = 0.71, P = 0.002 at 2 weeks). Using a regression equation (y = 0.5257x - 43.579), if the energy intake/energy expenditure ratio within the second week was 82.9%, the REE after 2 weeks was similar to the baseline level. There was no significant correlation between the change in REE and BW. Conclusion: Our data suggest that changes in REE depend on energy intake/energy expenditure ratio and that the decrease in REE can be minimized by matching energy intake to energy expenditure, even during the weight loss process.

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is expressed in both magnocellular (magnAVP) and parvocellular AVP (parvAVP) neurons of the paraventricular nucleus, and AVP colocalizes with corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) only in the parvocellular neurons. The immunoglobulin heavy chain binding protein (BiP) is a major endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone which regulates the unfolded protein response under ER stress. We previously demonstrated that knockdown of BiP in magnAVP neurons exacerbated ER stress, which resulted in the autophagy-associated cell death of magnAVP neurons. Using the same approach, in the present study we examined the role of BiP in mouse parvAVP/CRH neurons. Our data demonstrate that BiP is expressed in mouse parvAVP/CRH neurons under nonstress conditions and is upregulated in proportion to the increase in CRH expression after adrenalectomy. For BiP knockdown in parvAVP/CRH neurons, we utilized a viral approach in combination with shRNA interference. Knockdown of BiP expression induced ER stress in parvAVP/CRH neurons, as reflected by the expression of C/EBP homologous protein. Furthermore, BiP knockdown led to the loss of parvAVP/CRH neurons after 4 weeks. In summary, our results demonstrate that BiP plays a pivotal role in parvAVP/CRH neurons, which function as neuroendocrine cells producing a large number of secretory proteins.

Familial neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus (FNDI) is a degenerative disease of vasopressin (AVP) neurons. Studies in mouse in vivo models indicate that accumulation of mutant AVP prehormone is associated with FNDI pathology. However, studying human FNDI pathology in vivo is technically challenging. Therefore, an in vitro human model needs to be developed. When exogenous signals are minimized in the early phase of differentiation in vitro, mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs)/induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) differentiate into AVP neurons, whereas human ESCs/iPSCs die. Human ESCs/iPSCs are generally more similar to mouse epiblast stem cells (mEpiSCs) compared to mouse ESCs. In this study, we converted human FNDI-specific iPSCs by the naive conversion kit. Although the conversion was partial, we found improved cell survival under minimal exogenous signals and differentiation into rostral hypothalamic organoids. Overall, this method provides a simple and straightforward differentiation direction, which may improve the efficiency of hypothalamic differentiation.

BACKGROUND: Thyroid dysfunction is frequently caused by treatment with antiprogrammed cell death-1 ligand 1 antibodies (PD-L1-Abs) and anticancer drugs, including ramucirumab (RAM) and multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (multi-TKIs), which are often used prior to PD-L1-Ab treatment in cancer patients. METHODS: A total of 148 patients treated with PD-L1-Abs were evaluated for antithyroid antibodies at baseline and for thyroid function every 6 weeks for 24 weeks after treatment initiation and then were observed until the visits stopped. RESULTS: Of the 148 patients, 15 (10.1%) developed thyroid dysfunction after PD-L1-Ab treatment (destructive thyroiditis in 8 and hypothyroidism without preceding thyrotoxicosis in 7). The prevalence of an elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level at baseline (3/15 [20.0%] vs 4/133 [3.0%], P < .05), positive antithyroglobulin antibodies (TgAbs) at baseline (4/15 [26.7%] vs 5/133 [3.8%], P < .05) and prior treatment with RAM or multi-TKIs (3/15 [20.0%] vs 5/133 [3.8%], P < .05) were significantly higher in patients with vs without thyroid dysfunction. In a multivariate analysis, elevated TSH level at baseline, TgAb positivity at baseline, and prior treatment with RAM or multi-TKIs were significantly associated with the development of thyroid dysfunction, with ORs of 7.098 (95% CI 1.154-43.638), 11.927 (95% CI 2.526-56.316), and 8.476 (95% CI 1.592-45.115), respectively. CONCLUSION: The results of this real-world study suggest that the risk of thyroid dysfunction induced by PD-L1-Abs can be predicted by the TSH level at baseline, TgAb positivity at baseline, and prior treatment with RAM or multi-TKIs.

Binge eating is a characteristic symptom observed in obese individuals that is related to dysfunction of dopaminergic neurons (DNs). Intermittent administration of a high-fat diet (HFD) is reported to induce binge-like eating, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We generated dopaminergic neuron specific IKKβ deficient mice (KO) to examine the effects of inflammation in DNs on binge-like eating under inflammatory conditions associated with HFD. After administration of HFD for 4 weeks, mice were fasted for 24 h, and then the consumption of HFD was measured for 2 h. We also evaluated that the mRNA expressions of inflammatory cytokines, glial markers, and dopamine signaling-related genes in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and striatum. Moreover, insulin was administered intraventricularly to assess downstream signaling. The consumption of HFD was significantly reduced, and the phosphorylation of AKT in the VTA was significantly increased in female KO compared to wild-type (WT) mice. Analyses of mRNA expressions revealed that DNs activity and inflammation in the VTA were significantly decreased in female KO mice. Thus, our data suggest that HFD-induced inflammation with glial cell activation in the VTA affects DNs function and causes abnormal eating behaviors accompanied by insulin resistance in the VTA of female mice.

Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors in several organs including the endocrine glands. Thyroid dysfunction (thyroid irAEs) is often observed among endocrine irAEs and is induced by blockade of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), programmed death ligand 1, or PD-1 plus cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4. Endocrinologically, destructive thyroiditis or hypothyroidism is observed in most cases, whereas hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease) is rare. Most patients who develop destructive thyroiditis or hypothyroidism subsequently require thyroid hormone replacement therapy. Thyroid irAE development is associated with prolonged survival in patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma. The incidence of thyroid irAEs is higher in patients who are positive versus negative for anti-thyroid antibodies at baseline, suggesting that these antibodies can predict thyroid irAE development. Cytotoxic T cells, especially CD4 T cells, are reportedly involved in the development of destructive thyroiditis. In this review, we describe the clinical features, potential biomarkers, and mechanism of thyroid irAEs.

Prolactin (PRL), a hormone involved in lactation, is mainly produced and secreted by the lactotrophs of the anterior pituitary (AP) gland. We previously reported a method to generate functional adrenocorticotropic hormone-producing cells by differentiating the AP and hypothalamus simultaneously from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). However, PRL-producing cells in the induced AP have not been investigated. Here, we confirmed the presence of PRL-producing cells and evaluated their endocrine functions. We differentiated pituitary cells from human iPSCs using serum-free floating culture of embryoid-like aggregates with quick reaggregation (SFEB-q) method and evaluated the appearance and function of PRL-producing cells. Secretion of PRL from the differentiated aggregates was confirmed, which increased with further culture. Fluorescence immunostaining and immunoelectron microscopy revealed PRL-producing cells and PRL-positive secretory granules, respectively. PRL secretion was promoted by various prolactin secretagogues such as thyrotropin-releasing hormone, vasoactive intestinal peptide, and prolactin-releasing peptide, and inhibited by bromocriptine. Moreover, the presence of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive dopaminergic nerves in the hypothalamic tissue area around the center of the aggregates connecting to PRL-producing cells indicated the possibility of recapitulating PRL regulatory mechanisms through the hypothalamus. In conclusion, we generated pituitary lactotrophs from human iPSCs; these displayed similar secretory responsiveness as human pituitary cells in vivo. In the future, this is expected to be used as a model of human PRL-producing cells for various studies, such as drug discovery, prediction of side effects, and elucidation of tumorigenic mechanisms using disease-specific iPSCs. Furthermore, it may help to develop regenerative medicine for the pituitary gland.
