1. 日本科技: 日美将携手加强半导体人才培养
据《日中资本市场》报道,为培养具备尖端半导体技术的人才,日美两国政府将加强合作。考虑到在安全保障上的紧张局面,日美将在人工智能(AI)和超级计算机等下一代技术方面实现擅长领域的互补。此举也有意在所有产业均不可或缺的半导体技术方面引领全球。
通过正展开协调的明年1月在美国首都华盛顿举行的日美首脑会谈和部长会议,日本将确认合作关系,最快春季汇总加强人才培养的具体措施。其中较有力的方案是向具备较高技术能力的研究机构和企业相互派遣研究人员和学生。
日美今年5月就“半导体合作基本原则”达成共识。其中包括促进半导体制造能力多样化等内容。以互补为核心,擅长下一代计算机基本设计的美国和擅长材料工学的日本力争在这些领域实现互助。
加强合作是基于上述基本原则的产物,发挥核心作用的是两国各自创设的研究组织。日本12月设立产业技术综合研究所和东京大学等参加的“技术研究组合最尖端半导体技术中心”(LSTC)。美国将于2023年2月建立“国家半导体技术中心”(NSTC)。包括人才交流在内,将推动研究成果向实用的转化及下一代技术的量产化。
据日本电子信息技术产业协会(JEITA)称,日本今后10年间需要3.5万名半导体人才。另一方面,数字人才相比半导体更易流向IT企业等,这种倾向在日美均较为显著。
1. Japan Technology: Japan and the United States will work together to strengthen the training of semiconductor personnel
The Japan-China Capital Market reports that the governments of Japan and the United States will strengthen cooperation in order to cultivate human resources with cutting-edge semiconductor technology. Considering the tensions over security, Japan and the U.S. will complement each other in areas of expertise in next-generation technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and supercomputers. The move is also intended to lead the world in semiconductor technology, which is essential for all industries.
Through the Japan-U.S. summit and ministerial meeting in Washington, D.C., next January, which is being coordinated, Japan will confirm the partnership and put together concrete measures to strengthen human resource development as soon as spring. One of the stronger proposals is to send researchers and students to each other’s research institutions and companies with high technological capabilities.
Japan and the United States reached a consensus on the “basic principles of semiconductor cooperation” in May this year. These include the promotion of diversification of semiconductor manufacturing capabilities and other elements. With complementarity as the core, the U.S., which specializes in basic design of next-generation computers, and Japan, which specializes in materials engineering, aim to achieve mutual assistance in these areas.
The strengthening of cooperation is the product of the above-mentioned basic principles, and the central role is played by the research organizations created by each country. In December, Japan established the Technology Research Center (LSTC), which includes the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology and the University of Tokyo. The United States will establish the National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC) in February 2023. The NSTC will promote the transformation of research results into practical use and the mass production of next-generation technologies, including the exchange of human resources.
According to the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA), Japan will need 35,000 semiconductor professionals in the next 10 years. On the other hand, digital talents are more likely to flow to IT companies than semiconductors, etc., and this tendency is more significant in Japan and the United States.
2.日英将合作普及新通信网Open RAN
日本和英国两国政府将为普及不依赖特定企业设备的新通信网“Open RAN”携手合作。双方拟让致力于研发的日英企业等2023年开始共享技术信息。日本与美国、澳大利亚、印度、新加坡也建立了合作关系,未来将拓展合作对象。鉴于中国在通信领域的存在感日益增加,将从经济安全保障角度推进设备采购多源化,避免出现信息流通被中国掌握的情况。
有关通信网,中国华为技术公司等通信设备巨头常常全盘负责手机基站等的重要部件,成为经济安保上的难题。此外还存在寡头垄断状态下难以形成价格竞争的问题。
多名相关人士称,日本政府设想与英方共享信息的对象为,从情报通信研究机构(NICT)承包下Open RAN相关研发业务的企业和研究机构。NICT已完成对研发委托单位的公开征集,将在2023年公布结果。
日本将通过与英国合作提升企业技术能力,还将扩大旨在构筑高安全性、高透明度通信网的国际网络。若Open RAN得以扩大,供应链断裂的风险将得到控制。此外也有望带动日企设备销量增加。
有关Open RAN,日本与美国、澳大利亚、印度4国5月就合作事宜达成共识,日本与新加坡两国政府7月公布了合作方针。
2. Japan and Britain will cooperate to popularize the new communication network Open RAN
The governments of Japan and the United Kingdom will work together to popularize the new communication network “Open RAN” that does not rely on specific corporate equipment. The two sides intend to allow Japanese and British companies working on research and development to share technical information starting in 2023. Japan has also established cooperation with the United States, Australia, India and Singapore, and will expand its cooperation partners in the future. In view of China’s growing presence in the communications field, it will promote multi-sourcing of equipment procurement from the perspective of economic security to avoid the situation where information flows are controlled by China.
Regarding communication networks, communication equipment giants such as China’s Huawei Technologies are often solely responsible for important components such as cell phone base stations, making them a problem for economic security. There is also the problem of the difficulty of price competition in an oligopolistic state.
The Japanese government intends to share information with British companies and research institutions that have contracted Open RAN-related research and development from the Agency for Intelligence and Communications Research (NICT), which has completed an open call for R&D contractors and will announce the results in 2023, according to several sources.
Japan will work with the United Kingdom to enhance the technological capabilities of companies, and will also expand international networks aimed at building highly secure and transparent communication networks. If Open RAN is expanded, the risk of supply chain disruptions will be controlled. It is also expected to lead to increased sales of equipment by Japanese companies.
Regarding Open RAN, four countries – Japan, the United States, Australia, and India – reached a consensus on cooperation in May, and the governments of Japan and Singapore announced their cooperation guidelines in July.
3.日本初创企业在回归国内
据《日经中文网》报道,在日本,为了防备日元贬值和地缘政治风险,选择将产品生产迁回国内的趋势越来越大,扩大至初创企业。如涉足齿列矫正器的DRIPS公司将委托给越南的牙科技工所代工的大部分生产迁回国内。
此前,日本企业着眼于人工费的低廉和税制优惠等,不断将生产转移至海外。日本经济产业省的数据显示,制造业的海外生产比例截至2020年度达到23.6%。相比2000年度提高10个百分点以上。但是,以日元贬值和原材料涨价为背景,趋势正在发生改变。
地缘政治风险也是无法忽视的因素。帝国征信以约2.5万家中小企业等为对象实施的调查显示,受访企业的逾6成表示受到俄乌局势的影响,原材料价格上涨。逾5成表示无法确保充足的采购量。
另一方面,作为正在讨论的对策,最多的是转嫁成本,占36%,回归国内为8%。由于需要设置新的生产设备和构建供应链,很多企业无法轻易回归国内。其中,业务规模不大的初创企业能够迅速做出决断,引人注目。
3. Japanese startups are returning to the country
According to Nikkei Chinese, there is a growing trend in Japan to move product production back to the country, extending to start-ups, in order to protect against the depreciation of the yen and geopolitical risks. For example, DRIPS, a company involved in orthodontic appliances, has relocated most of the production entrusted to dental technicians in Vietnam to the country.
Previously, Japanese companies have been moving production overseas due to low labor costs and tax incentives. According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan, the proportion of overseas production in the manufacturing industry will reach 23.6% in fiscal 2020. This is an increase of more than 10 percentage points compared to fiscal 2000. However, the trend is changing against the backdrop of the depreciation of the yen and the increase in the price of raw materials.
Geopolitical risk is also a factor that cannot be ignored. According to a survey conducted by Imperial Credit among 25,000 small and medium-sized enterprises, more than 60% of the companies surveyed said that raw material prices had risen due to the situation in Russia and Ukraine. More than 50% said they could not secure sufficient procurement volume.
On the other hand, as a countermeasure under discussion, the largest number of companies, 36%, are transferring costs and 8% are returning to the country. Many companies cannot easily return to the country because of the need to set up new production facilities and build supply chains. Among them, startups with small-scale business are notable for their ability to make quick decisions.
4.孙正义增持软银股份至34.2%,软银市场评级跌至六年低点
据《日中资本市场》报道,据计算,截至9月底,软银集团董事长兼CEO孙正义已将其在该公司的股份从32.2%提高到34.2%,向有能力将软银私有化更近一步。孙正义持股比例的变化得到软银集团证实。
根据日本法律,在获得公司超三分之一所有权后,孙正义对软银资产出售、部分回购、合并和公司章程拥有更多控制权,并有权否决激进投资者向股东提出的任何特别决议。
据路透社和《华尔街日报》此前报道,软银集团在上月加快股票回购步伐,重新引发有关孙正义正为公司私有化做准备的猜测。当地时间11月10日,软银集团表示已完成8月宣布的回购不超过4000亿日元软银股票的计划。
软银此前称,从11月1日至11月10日,公司共计回购2024.2亿日元自家股票。在10月,软银回购了1975.8亿日元的自家股票。图片由于日本科技巨头软银集团在投资持续亏损的情况下,拒绝进行新的股票回购,华尔街多家投行下调了该公司评级。其中,在花旗分析师将软银集团评级从“买入”下调至“中性”后,该股一度下跌2.6%。此前,德银、里昂证券、Jefferies等投行也下调了软银集团评级。如今,软银的市场普遍评级已跌至六年来的低点。
花旗分析师Mitsunobu Tsuruo在一份报告中写道,该行下调评级的主要原因是“软银集团股票回购中断和背后的业务执行问题”,其次是利率上升带来的风险,以及孙正义宣布不会再出席业绩发布会带来的公司与投资者沟通能力减弱。
据了解,软银集团的股价较11月早些时候的高点下跌逾25%,此前该公司公布其核心愿景基金部门再次出现季度亏损,并拒绝宣布进一步的股票回购。
4. Masayoshi Son increases his stake in SoftBank to 34.2%, SoftBank market rating falls to six-year low
According to calculations, SoftBank Group Chairman and CEO Masayoshi Son has increased his stake in the company from 32.2% to 34.2% as of the end of September, moving one step closer to having the ability to take SoftBank private, according to the Japan-China Capital Market. The change in Masayoshi Son’s shareholding was confirmed by SoftBank Corp.
Under Japanese law, after gaining more than one-third ownership of the company, Masayoshi Son has more control over SoftBank’s asset sales, partial buybacks, mergers and articles of incorporation, as well as the right to veto any special resolutions proposed to shareholders by activist investors.
As previously reported by Reuters and The Wall Street Journal, SoftBank Group accelerated its share buybacks last month, reigniting speculation that Masayoshi Son is preparing the company for privatization. On Nov. 10 local time, SoftBank Group said it had completed a plan announced in August to buy back up to 400 billion yen of SoftBank shares.
SoftBank previously said that from Nov. 1 to Nov. 10, the company bought back a total of 202.42 billion yen of its own shares. In October, SoftBank bought back 197.58 billion yen of its own shares. Image As Japanese tech giant SoftBank Group refused to make new share buybacks amid continued investment losses, several Wall Street investment banks downgraded the company’s rating. The stock fell 2.6 percent after analysts at Citi downgraded SoftBank Group to “neutral” from “buy. Earlier, Deutsche Bank, Lyon Securities, Jefferies and other investment banks also downgraded SoftBank Group. Now, SoftBank’s general market rating has fallen to a six-year low.
Citi analyst Mitsunobu Tsuruo wrote in a report that the main reason for the bank’s downgrade was “the disruption in SoftBank Group’s share buyback and the business execution issues behind it,” followed by the risks posed by rising interest rates and the company’s weakened ability to communicate with investors as a result of Masayoshi Son’s announcement that he would no longer attend earnings presentations. Weakened ability to communicate with investors.
SoftBank shares are understood to be down more than 25 percent from their high earlier in November, after the company reported another quarterly loss in its core Vision Fund unit and declined to announce further share buybacks.
5.RECP生效一周年来,呈现明显积极效果
据共同社报道,1日是日本、中国、韩国等15国参加、规定下调关税的 “区域全面经济伙伴关系协定”(RCEP)生效一年。这是日中韩首个经济合作协定,包括来自中国的进口中超过2万亿日元(约合人民币1054亿元)适用等,推动了日中贸易。另一方面,美国去年5月启动了作为对华包围圈的经济框架,在亚太地区以经贸为舞台的优势之争愈演愈烈。
RCEP成员国的国内生产总值(GDP)约占全球三成,是经济圈规模超过 “跨太平洋伙伴关系协定”(TPP)的大型贸易框架。虽然有着 “便宜的进口商品涌入导致竞争环境变得严峻”(食品业者语)的一面,但产业界对其带动进出口增加的期待十分强烈。
尤其是与最大贸易伙伴国家中国的商务扩大备受关注。日本财务省的贸易统计等显示,去年1至9月从中国进口的约18万亿日元商品中,约2.5万亿日元适用了RCEP。
在日本全国运营100日元商品店DAISO的大创产业公司负责人强调,减少采购成本等 “业务效果明显”。该公司约7.6万种日用品有一多半从中国进口,今后分阶段下调关税的品种很多,该负责人预测称 “效果应该会进一步扩大”。
出口日本商品时所需的用于RCEP的原产地证明发行件数半年间升至约1.5倍等,经济产业省负责人积极评价称 “正在以迅猛的势头增加”。
日本政府中也有人对通过商贸扩大影响力的中国抱有警惕。中国在推动RCEP生效中发挥了主导作用,2021年申请加入美国退出的TPP。日本对中国加入采取慎重态度,但有的亚洲国家期待能促进对华贸易。日本考虑到中国,呼吁美国重返TPP,但优先保护本国产业的美国缺乏重返的氛围。
美国为抗衡中国,成立了 “印度太平洋经济框架”(IPEF),日本扮演了美国与其他参加国之间的桥梁角色。为强化贸易和供应链于去年12月开启了正式谈判,但削减关税并不是磋商对象。有观点认为其带动贸易的效果并不大,能在多大程度上提高实效性尚未可知。
日本经产省高层表达强烈危机感称 “中国的存在感增强,贸易政策正迎来转折点”。日本在美中之间艰难掌舵的局面今后也将持续。
5. The first anniversary of RECP has shown obvious positive effects
According to Kyodo News, the 1st is one year since the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP), in which 15 countries including Japan, China and South Korea participate and which provides for lower tariffs, came into force. This is the first economic cooperation agreement between Japan, China and South Korea, including imports from China in more than 2 trillion yen (about 105.4 billion yuan) applies, etc., promoting Japan-China trade. On the other hand, the U.S. launched an economic framework as an encirclement of China in May last year, and the battle for dominance in the Asia-Pacific region with economic and trade as the stage has intensified.
The gross domestic product (GDP) of RCEP member countries accounts for about 30% of the world, and it is a large trade framework with a larger economic circle than the “Trans-Pacific Partnership” (TPP). Although it has the aspect of “the competitive environment becoming tough due to the influx of cheap imported goods” (in the words of the food industry), the industry has strong expectations for it to drive an increase in imports and exports.
In particular, the expansion of business with China, the largest trading partner country, has attracted much attention. Japan’s Ministry of Finance trade statistics, etc. show that from January to September last year, about 18 trillion yen of goods imported from China, about 2.5 trillion yen applied to the RCEP.
The head of Daiso Sangyo, which operates DAISO, a 100-yen goods store throughout Japan, stressed that “the business effect is obvious” such as reducing procurement costs. More than half of the company’s approximately 76,000 types of daily necessities are imported from China, and with many varieties of tariff reductions in stages in the future, the director predicted that “the effect should be further expanded.
The number of certificates of origin issued for RCEP required for exporting Japanese goods rose to about 1.5 times in six months, etc., and the head of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry positively commented that “it is increasing at a rapid pace”.
Some in the Japanese government are also wary of China, which is expanding its influence through commerce and trade. China has played a leading role in promoting the entry into force of RCEP and has applied to join the TPP, which the U.S. withdrew from, in 2021. Japan is taking a cautious approach to China’s entry, but some Asian countries expect to boost trade with China. Japan has called for the U.S. to return to the TPP in consideration of China, but the U.S., which prioritizes protecting its own industries, lacks the atmosphere to return.
The United States established the “Indo-Pacific Economic Framework” (IPEF) to counteract China, and Japan plays the role of a bridge between the United States and other participating countries. Formal negotiations were opened in December last year to strengthen trade and supply chains, but tariff cuts were not the subject of consultation. There is a view that its effect of driving trade is not large, and the extent to which it can improve effectiveness is not yet known.
Japan’s top Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry expressed a strong sense of crisis saying that “China’s presence has increased and trade policy is turning a corner”. Japan’s difficult situation at the helm between the U.S. and China will also continue in the future.
6.为了吸引海外人才,东京都政府近日向日本政府提议创建新的签证类型——“东京版HPI签证”。
HPI签证全称是高潜力人才签证(High Potential Individual),最早由英国于2022年5月施行。东京都此举是因为很多没在日本留学的海外刚毕业的优秀人才,短时间内无法通过积分拿到“高度人才签证”,为了避免人才流失特别申请设立。
在提案中,“东京版HPI签证”的申请条件如下:
1、申请人所毕业的院校,必须在《泰晤士高等教育世界大学排名》、《QS世界大学排名》、《世界大学学术排名》等三大世界知名院校排行榜中,至少两个榜单中排名前十;
2、毕业时间在五年以内;
3、申请人年龄35岁以下;
4、日语能力N3以上;
5、居住地在东京都;
6、加入日本国民健康保险及国民年金;
7、有120万日元的生活存款以保证前六个月的生活。
据悉,HPI签证时间2年,学历为修士和博士可达3年。不过这一签证条件比较高,也有人吐槽能达到这种学历的人才未必看得上日本。
相对于这项新增签证,具有更大意义的改变是对现有签证制度的改革,东京都还呼吁改进现有的特定活动签证制度,并降低外国创业者的经营门槛,日本政府也在计划,放宽创业外国人在日本逗留6个月以上才能开户的限制。
在日本创业可申请经营管理签证,是除了工作签证之外最简便的赴日途径。没有年龄、学历、语言的要求,只要在日本注册公司资本金达到500万日元以上,有注册地址、实际办公室等。
很多人直接找专业的行政书士全程代理,审理速度比较快,一般3~6个月。办理成功后可以携带家属一起赴日,享受和日本国民一样的福利待遇。
此外,大多数人定居日本还是会选择工作签证,
(1)技术&人文&国际业务签证
一般要求国内大专及以上毕业生或是日本专门学校及以上毕业生,在日本找到工作后由公司帮忙申请办理。
优点:可携带家属赴日,家属可获得每周不超过28小时的打工时间。拥有签证满5年且在日本待满10年,可以申请永住。
缺点:有学历的限制,对于日语不好的人来说想要在日本找到正式工作有一定难度。
(2)特定技能签证
特定技能签证是日本在2019年针对造船、建筑、农业、介护、住宿等14个职业开放的就劳签证,只要通过日本特定行业领域的统一考试即可申请。
优点:对学历和日语能力没什么要求,1号达到条件可转为2号,实现无限期居留,可以携带家属。
缺点:有就业范围的限制和技能水平的要求。
(3)高度人才签证
通过对学历、年收入、工作经验、地位、额外奖励等方面进行评分,总分在70分以上就可以申请。
优点:配偶可以正常工作,没有时间限制,不受学历约束。签证持有者有7岁以下的孩子可邀请父母其中一人来照顾孩子,并享受日本的医疗和福利。
缺点:对学历、工作能力、收入等要求高,申请比较难。
当然,想要长期稳定生活在日本,最安稳的还是永住签证,这是很多外国人在日本工作、生活梦寐以求的一种签证。
拿到永住以后,就能拥有和日本人几乎同等的福利待遇,不必考虑签证到期的问题,可以最大限度申请住房贷款,往返日本和母国基本没有限制。
6. In order to attract overseas talents, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government recently proposed to the Japanese government to create a new type of visa, the “Tokyo version of the HPI visa”.
The full name of the HPI visa is High Potential Individual, which was first introduced in the UK in May 2022. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has proposed the creation of the HPI visa because many talented people who have just graduated from overseas and have not studied in Japan are unable to obtain the “High Potential Individual Visa” through points in a short period of time, so they have applied for the visa to avoid brain drain.
In the proposal, the application requirements for the “Tokyo version of the HPI visa” are as follows.
1. The applicant must have graduated from an institution that is ranked in the top ten of at least two of the three world-renowned university rankings, including the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, the QS World University Rankings, and the Academic Rankings of World Universities.
2. the time of graduation is within five years.
3. the applicant is under 35 years of age.
4、Japanese language ability of N3 or above.
5、Residence in the Tokyo metropolitan area.
6、Enrollment in Japan National Health Insurance and National Pension.
7. Have a living deposit of 1.2 million yen to secure the first six months of living.
It is reported that the HPI visa lasts for 2 years, and the education is up to 3 years for seminarians and doctors. However, this visa condition is relatively high, there are also people who can reach this kind of education talent may not see Japan.
Compared to this new visa, changes of greater significance are the reform of the existing visa system, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government also called for improving the existing visa system for specific activities and lowering the threshold for foreign entrepreneurs to operate, and the Japanese government is also planning to relax the restrictions on foreigners who start a business to stay in Japan for more than six months before they can open an account.
You can apply for a business management visa to start a business in Japan, which is the easiest way to come to Japan other than a work visa. There are no age, education, or language requirements, as long as the registered company in Japan has a capital of 5 million yen or more, a registered address, a physical office, etc.
Many people directly find a professional administrative scribe to represent them throughout the process, and the hearing is relatively fast, usually 3~6 months. After successful processing, you can bring your family members to Japan together and enjoy the same benefits as Japanese nationals.
In addition, most people who settle in Japan still choose a work visa.
(1) Technical & Humanities & International Business Visa
Generally, it is required for domestic college graduates or Japanese vocational school graduates or above to apply for the visa after finding a job in Japan.
Advantages: You can bring your family members to Japan, and your family members can get a part-time job for no more than 28 hours per week. If you have a visa for 5 years and have been in Japan for 10 years, you can apply for permanent residence.
Disadvantages: There are restrictions on education, and it is difficult for those who are not good at Japanese to find a formal job in Japan.
(2) Specific Skills Visa
The Specific Skills Visa is a visa for 14 occupations in 2019, including shipbuilding, construction, agriculture, nursing care, and lodging, and can be applied for by passing a standardized examination in a specific industry field in Japan.
Advantages: There is no requirement for education and Japanese language ability, and the No. 1 can be converted to No. 2 when the conditions are met, enabling unlimited stay and the possibility of bringing family members.
Disadvantages: There are restrictions on the scope of employment and skill level requirements.
(3) Highly qualified personnel visa
By scoring on education, annual income, work experience, status, and additional awards, a total score of 70 or more can be applied.
Advantages: Spouse can work normally, no time limit, and not bound by academic qualifications. Visa holders with children under 7 years old can invite one of their parents to take care of the children and receive Japanese medical and welfare benefits.
Disadvantages: High requirements for education, work ability, and income make it difficult to apply.
Of course, if you want to live in Japan for a long and stable period of time, the most secure visa is the permanent residence visa, which is the kind of visa that many foreigners dream of when they work and live in Japan.
Once you get a permanent residence visa, you can have almost the same welfare benefits as Japanese people, you don’t have to think about the expiration of your visa, you can apply for a housing loan to the maximum extent, and there are basically no restrictions on traveling between Japan and your home country.
7.日本艺术团队在北京举行大型展览活动
据日本驻华大使馆消息,艺术团队teamLab最大规模的沉浸式美术馆“EPSON teamLab无相艺术空间: teamLab Massless Beijing”,已经在北京朝阳大悦城顶层开幕啦。
此次teamLab在北京的展馆分上下两层作品空间,在超越了迄今为止常识般的物质概念的作品群里,创造出全身心沉浸的体验,不愧是teamLab最大规模的常设展览。

7. Japanese Art Team Holds Large-scale Exhibition in Beijing
According to the Japanese Embassy in China, the largest immersive art gallery of teamLab, “EPSON teamLab Massless Art Space: teamLab Massless Beijing”, has been opened on the top floor of Chaoyang Joy City in Beijing.
The teamLab pavilion in Beijing is divided into two floors of works, creating a fully immersive experience in a group of works that transcends the hitherto common sense concept of materiality, making it the largest permanent exhibition of teamLab.
The main programs include “EN TEA HOUSE – Taixu Realm”, “The Forest of Flowers and People: Lost, Immersed and Reborn”, and “The Endless Crystal Universe”.
8.东京工科大学发现人乳铁蛋白与人血清白蛋白相融合的蛋白质能强力阻止癌细胞迁移,有望用作脊髓损伤治疗药物
据《客观日本》报道,东京工科大学大学院生物与信息媒体研究科佐藤淳教授等人组成的研究团队,发现人乳铁蛋白(hLF)与人血清白蛋白(HSA)的融合蛋白质,能强力阻止与癌细胞转移密切相关的迁移现象。
hLF是人体中作为自然免疫,起到抗肿瘤、抗炎、抗氧化机能的蛋白质。由于其具有有用的生物活性,因此有望应用于生物医药品当中。
作为此前的研究成果,研究团队通过将hLF和血液中含有量最多的蛋白质HAS相融合(hLF-HSA),在提高了hLF体内稳定性的同时,还增强了抑制癌细胞增殖作用。
此次研究团队进一步通过使用CHO细胞(中国仓鼠卵巢细胞)的转基因技术制作了hLF-HSA。将其用于人肺腺癌细胞株PC-14并进行了癌细胞迁移测定,验证了hLF-HSA对癌细胞迁移的效果。结果显示,hLF促进了PC-14的迁移,而hLF-HAS则几乎完全阻止了PC-14的迁移。但是上述现象在同时添加hLF和HAS时则没有观察到,因此表明hLF与HSA的融合起着重要作用。
8. Tokyo University of Technology discovers that a protein fused with human lactoferrin and human serum albumin can strongly prevent cancer cell migration and is expected to be used as a drug for spinal cord injury treatment
A research team led by Professor Jun Sato at the Graduate School of Biology and Information Media, Tokyo University of Technology has discovered that a fusion protein of human lactoferrin (hLF) and human serum albumin (HSA) can strongly prevent the migration of cancer cells, which is closely related to metastasis, according to a report in Objective Japan.
hLF is a protein in the human body that acts as a natural immune, acting as an anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant function. Because of its useful biological activity, it is expected to be used in biopharmaceuticals.
As a previous research result, the research team fused hLF with HAS, the most abundant protein in blood (hLF-HSA), to improve the stability of hLF in vivo while enhancing the inhibition of cancer cell proliferation.
The team further produced hLF-HSA by transgenic technology using CHO cells (Chinese hamster ovary cells). hLF-HSA was used in human lung adenocarcinoma cell line PC-14 and cancer cell migration assay was performed to verify the effect of hLF-HSA on cancer cell migration. The results showed that hLF promoted the migration of PC-14, while hLF-HAS almost completely prevented the migration of PC-14. However, the above phenomenon was not observed when hLF and HAS were added simultaneously, thus suggesting that the fusion of hLF with HSA plays an important role.
最近开始关注“环顾”,这是很好的栏目。谢谢Publius ! 非常希望能延续前五期标注新闻出处的作法。
谢谢本期对日本的专题报道! 了解了不少信息!👍🙏
