I received my BS and MS from Hiroshima University in 1990 and 1992, respectively. After working for Mochida Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. for two years, I entered Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine and received my Ph.D. in 1998. After postdoctoral training at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York, from 1999 to 2003, I joined the Research Center for Allergy and Immunology at Riken Yokohama Institute as a senior investigator, until 2014. Then, I moved to Showa University School of Dentistry as an Assistant Professor, and joined Tokushima Bunri University as a full Professor from April 2015. My research goal is to understand the physiological and pathophysiological role of zinc signaling in vivo. Zinc signaling is a novel platform in the life sciences, and I would thus like to explore zinc signaling at the molecular level. In particular, I am interested in the mechanisms regarding how each transporter-mediated zinc signals and controls its downstream target molecules specifically, which may eventually affect the health and disease status in mammals. To address these questions, I mainly employ molecular and physiological methodologies using genetically modified mice to study zinc transporters and human genetics. Taiho Kambe, Associate Professor. I received my BS in Agriculture from Kyoto University in 1995, and my Ph.D. in Agriculture from Kyoto University in 2001. I served as an Assistant Professor at Kyoto University from 1998. After postdoctoral training at the University of Missouri, Columbia, from 2006 to 2007 and at the University of Kansas Medical Center from 2007 to 2008, I rejoined the Books faculty at Kyoto University. My research interests focus on elucidating the cellular and physiological functions of ZIP and ZNT zinc transporters. In particular, I am very interested in when, where, and how ZIPs and ZNTs monitor zinc concentrations and regulate the influx and efflux of zinc across biological membranes. Moreover, I am investigating when, where, and how zinc-containing proteins capture and dissociate zinc mediated by ZIPs and ZNTs. I am also trying to establish a new strategy to improve zinc nutrition in humans. v MDPI Books MDPI Preface to “Zinc Signaling in Physiology and Pathogenesis” Zinc, an essential trace element, plays indispensable roles in multiple cellular processes. It regulates a great number of protein functions, including transcription factors, enzymes, adapters, and growth factors, as a structural and/or catalytic factor. Recent studies have highlighted another function of zinc as an intra- and intercellular signaling mediator, which is now recognized as the zinc signal. Indeed, zinc regulates cellular signaling pathways, which enables the conversion of extracellular stimuli into intracellular signals, and controls various intracellular and extracellular events. Thus, zinc mediates communication between cells. The zinc signal is essential for physiology, and its dysregulation causes a variety of diseases such as diabetes, cancer, osteoarthritis, dermatitis, and dementia. This indicates that the zinc signal is an emerging topic that will assist in our understanding of the nature of physiology and pathophysiology. This special issue, “Zinc Signaling in Physiology and Pathogenesis” has two main goals. The first is to update the current information available about the crucial role of zinc signaling in biological processes on both a molecular and a physiological level. This will assist in addressing the questions underlying this unique phenomenon and discerning its future direction through the publishing of review articles by experts, as well as original papers. The second aim is to feature the 5th Meeting of the International Society for Zinc Biology 2017 (ISZB-2017) in collaboration with Zinc-Net (COST Books Action TD1304), held in Cyprus. As Lowe and Moran reported, ISZB-2017 was held in conjunction with the final dissemination meeting of the Network for the Biology of Zinc (Zinc-Net) at the University of Central Lancashires Cyprus campus in June 2017, with over 160 participants, 17 scientific symposia, four plenary

In mammalian cells, control of cellular zinc homeostasis is through zinc uptake, zinc secretion, and zinc compartmentalization, mediated by metal transporters of the Zrt-/Irt-like protein (ZIP) family and the Cation Diffusion Facilitators (CDF) or ZnT family. We quantified transcript levels of ZIP and ZnT zinc transporters expressed by non-tumorigenic UROtsa cells and compared with those expressed by UROtsa clones that were experimentally transformed to cancer cells by prolonged exposure to cadmium (Cd). Although expression of the ZIP8 gene in parent UROtsa cells was lower than ZIP14 (0.1 vs. 83 transcripts per 1000 β-actin transcripts), an increased expression of ZIP8 concurrent with a reduction in expression of one or two zinc influx transporters, namely ZIP1, ZIP2, and ZIP3, were seen in six out of seven transformed UROtsa clones.

However, there are critical differences between these two main forms of exercise training and the adaptations that they induce in the body that may account for their beneficial effects. This article reviews the literature and highlights key gaps in our current understanding of the effects of aerobic and resistance exercise training on the regulation of systemic glucose homeostasis, skeletal muscle glucose transport and skeletal muscle glucose metabolism.

One area that contains a high amount is the input center of the basal ganglia: the striatum. Environmental enrichment was used to examine potential changes in morphology of striatal cells of mice with (ZnT3 wildtype) and without (ZnT3 knockout) the zinc transporter (ZnT3) necessary to load zinc into vesicles. No changes were found in dendritic length for any regions of the striatum. However, all regions of the striatum showed an increase in spine density in both genotypes, with enriched ZnT3 KO mice having a greater increase in the nucleus accumbens region.

Viruses are obligatory intracellular parasites and encode proteins that reprogram the regulatory networks governing host cellular signaling pathways that control recognition by the immune system, proliferation, differentiation, genomic integrity, and cell death. Given that key proteins in these regulatory networks are also subject to mutation in non-virally associated diseases and cancers, the study of oncogenic viruses has also been instrumental to the discovery and analysis of many fundamental cellular processes, including messenger RNA (mRNA) splicing, transcriptional enhancers, oncogenes and tumor suppressors, signal transduction, immune regulation, and cell cycle control. More recently, tumor viruses, in particular HPV, have proven themselves invaluable in the study of the cancer epigenome. Epigenetic silencing or de-silencing of genes can have cellular consequences that are akin to genetic mutations, i.e., the loss and gain of expression of genes that are not usually expressed in a certain cell type and/or genes that have tumor suppressive or oncogenic activities, respectively. Unlike genetic mutations, the reversible nature of epigenetic modifications affords an opportunity of epigenetic therapy for cancer.
