 Posey et al. have reported multiple molecular diagnoses in 4.5% of cases (101/2076) in which whole-exome sequencing was informative. Distinct disease phenotypes affect different organ systems, whereas overlapping disease phenotypes are more likely to be caused by two genes encoding proteins that interact within the same pathway. My research projects at the Niigata University of Pharmacy have investigated underlying mechanisms involved in human disease, including fatty acid metabolism, diabetic cardiomyopathy, atopic dermatitis, colitis, hepatitis, etc. Three students from abroad graduated this year from the Department of Clinical Pharmacology, Niigata University of Pharmacy and Applied Life Sciences. These students reported on treatments for heart disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and atopic dermatitis, as well as the underlying mechanisms involved in each. The titles of these reports are “Study of the role of cardiac 14-3-3η protein in cardiac inflammation and adverse cardiac remodeling during heart failure in mice”, “Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis: onset of mechanisms under diabetic background and treatment strategies” and “The role of HMGB1 and its cascade signaling pathway in atopic dermatitis”. It can be concluded from these three theses that oxidative stress and inflammation are among the principal mechanisms underlying these diseases.
