Transformation of Japan\u27s Rural Landscape and Economy: The Case of a Rice Growing Village in Central Japan

Rural regions and communities in Japan have changed drastically following the rapid economic development that occurred in the 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s. Important outcomes of rural changes were the rapid outflow of labor from rural areas and the increase in the number of part-time farmers. This paper mainly focuses its attention on the evolutionary processes of rural regions over three decades from 1960 to the present, through a case study of a typical Japanese village named Urayamashin. The traditional rice growing village transformed itself into a non-farming village in the early 1970s partly because of a reduction in farm working hours due to mechanization and land consolidation, and because of an increase in opportunities for off-farm jobs and motorization

Ｔ細胞性造血器腫瘍において過剰発現が認められるHelios short isoformの機能解析

In an earlier report, we demonstrated overexpression of a short isoform of Helios, Hel-5, which lacks three of four N-terminal zinc fingers, in patients with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma. Here, we characterized Hel-5 using immunoprecipitation, and gel shift and luciferase promoter assays, and found that Hel-5 lacks the repressor function observed with a full-length isoform of Helios. Moreover, Hel-5 associates with the full-length isoforms of the Ikaros gene family, Ikaros, Aiolos and Helios, and inhibits their DNA binding activity when present in excess, leading to dominant-negative effects on the full-length isoforms of the Ikaros gene family. Our results suggest a critical role for Helios in the mechanism of leukemogenesis
