RESUMEN

Clarification of the criteria for managing animal health is essential to increase the reliability of experiments and ensure transparency in animal welfare. For experiments performed in space, there is no consensus on how to care for animals owing to technical issues, launch mass limitation, and human resources. Some biological processes in mammals, such as musculoskeletal or immune processes, are altered in the space environment, and mice in space can be used to simulate morbid states, such as senescence acceleration. Thus, there is a need to establish a novel evaluation method and evaluation criteria to monitor animal health. Here, we report a novel method to evaluate the health of mice in space through a video downlink in a series of space experiments using the Multiple Artificial-gravity Research System (MARS). This method was found to be more useful in evaluating animal health in space than observations and body weight changes of the same live mice following their return to Earth. We also developed criteria to evaluate health status via a video downlink. These criteria, with "Fur condition" and "Respiratory" as key items, provided information on the daily changes in the health status of mice and helped to identify malfunctions at an early stage. Our method and criteria led to the success of our missions, and they will help establish appropriate rules for space experiments in the future.

RESUMEN

We investigated the involvement of c-jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) in mitochondrial depolarization and apoptosis in a human multiple myeloma cell line, U266, treated with 2-aminophenoxazine (Phx-3). It was found that, with Phx-3 administration to U266 cells, JNK was phosphorylated 2 and 7.5-fold at 6 and 24 h, respectively, compared to the Phx-3-free control. This increasing activation of JNK in U266 cells with Phx-3 correlated with cellular disorders, such as mitochondrial depolarization and cellular apoptosis. When the JNK-specific inhibitor SP6000125 was administered to the U266 cells together with Phx-3, the number of cells exhibiting mitochondrial depolarization and cellular apoptosis was significantly reduced. These results suggest that JNK activation in human multiple myeloma U266 cells may be closely associated with mitochondrial depolarization and apoptosis.

RESUMEN

2-Amino-4,4alpha-dihydro-4alpha-7-dimethyl-3H-phenoxazine-3-one (Phx), which was produced by the reaction of bovine hemoglobin with 2-amino-5-methylphenol, inhibited the proliferation of poliovirus in Vero cells between 0.25 microg/ml and 2 microg/ml with maximal antiviral acitivity at 1 microg/ml. These results suggest that Phx may be useful to prevent the proliferation of poliovirus infection.
