Reduced incidence of lung cancer in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis treated with pirfenidone
Yukiko Miura,Takefumi Saito,Toru Tanaka,Hiroyuki Takoi,Yohei Yatagai,Minoru Inomata,Takahito Nei,Yoshinobu Saito,Akihiko Gemma,Arata Azuma +9 more
TL;DR: No definite conclusion can be drawn from this retrospective study, and a multicenter, prospective cohort study is still warranted to confirm the effect of pirfenidone on lung cancer in patients with IPF.

Yukiko Miura,Takefumi Saito,Kazutaka Fujita,Toru Tanaka,Yoshiya Tsunoda,Arata Azuma,Takahito Nei,Yohei Yatagai,Shigen Rin,Akimasa Sekine,Kenji Hayashihara +10 more
TL;DR: Clinical experience of administering pirfenidone, which is an antifibrotic agent, in five patients with scleroderma-related interstitial lung disease shows an increase in vital capacity.

Exosome-Derived microRNA-22 Ameliorates Pulmonary Fibrosis by Regulating Fibroblast-to-Myofibroblast Differentiation in Vitro and in Vivo.
Naoyuki Kuse,Koichiro Kamio,Arata Azuma,Kuniko Matsuda,Minoru Inomata,Jiro Usuki,Akemi Morinaga,Toru Tanaka,Takeru Kashiwada,Kenichiro Atsumi,Hiroki Hayashi,Yoshinobu Saito,Masahiro Seike,Akihiko Gemma +13 more
TL;DR: Exosomal miR-22 modulates fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation and should be considered as a novel therapeutic target for patients with IPF.

β-catenin-dependent transcription is central to Bmp-mediated formation of venous vessels
Takeru Kashiwada,Shigetomo Fukuhara,Kenta Terai,Toru Tanaka,Yuki Wakayama,Koji Ando,Hiroyuki Nakajima,Hajime Fukui,Shinya Yuge,Yoshinobu Saito,Akihiko Gemma,Naoki Mochizuki +11 more
TL;DR: A novel transgenic zebrafish line is developed and discovered that β-catenin-dependent transcription is central to the bone morphogenetic protein (Bmp)-mediated formation of venous vessels and indicates that Bmp-induced activation of β- catenin through Aggf1 regulates CV development by promoting the Nr2f2-dependent differentiation of venOUS ECs and their survival.

Immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated interstitial lung diseases correlate with better prognosis in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.
Teppei Sugano,Masahiro Seike,Yoshinobu Saito,Takeru Kashiwada,Yasuhiro Terasaki,Natsuki Takano,Kakeru Hisakane,Satoshi Takahashi,Toru Tanaka,Susumu Takeuchi,Akihiko Miyanaga,Yuji Minegishi,Rintaro Noro,Kaoru Kubota,Akihiko Gemma +14 more
TL;DR: This study evaluated whether the development of immune‐related adverse events (irAEs), especially ILD, was associated with treatment efficacy and to research the features and risk factors of ILD in advanced non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
