Steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1) is a nuclear receptor that is important in steroid hormone production, and adrenal and gonad development. The SF-1 gene is highly conserved among most vertebrates. However, dog SF-1 registered in public databases, such as CanFam3.1, lacks the 5′ end compared to other mammals including mouse, human, bovine, and cat. Whether this defect is due to species differences or database error is unclear. Here, we determined the full-length dog SF-1 cDNA sequence and identified the missing 5′ end sequence in the databases. The coding region of the dog SF-1 gene has 1,386 base pairs, and the protein has 461 amino acid residues. Sequence alignment analysis among vertebrates revealed that the 5′ end sequence of dog SF-1 cDNA is highly conserved compared to other vertebrates. The genomic position of the first exon was determined, and its promoter region sequence was analyzed. The DNA methylation state at the basal promoter and the expression of dog SF-1 in steroidogenic tissues and non-steroidogenic cells were examined. CpG sites at the basal promoter displayed methylation kinetics inversely correlated with gene expression. The promoter was hypomethylated and hypermethylated in SF-1 expressing and non-SF-1 expressing tissues, respectively. In conclusion, we identified the true full sequence of dog SF-1 cDNA and determined the genome sequence around the first exon. The gene is under the control of epigenetic regulation, such as DNA methylation, at the promoter.

A 47-year-old man presented with sudden-onset headache and Fisher group 3 subarachnoid hemorrhage. The World Federation of Neurological Surgeons grade was II. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) only showed a vessel wall irregularity in the A1 segment of the right anterior cerebral artery (ACA), but an obvious bleeding source was not detected. Repeat angiography showed a tiny aneurysmal dilatation in the A1 segment with an intimal flap. The aneurysm enlarged on subsequent angiograms. Dissecting aneurysm was diagnosed, and the patient underwent internal trapping of the A1 segment to prevent rerupture. Postoperative DSA showed complete obliteration of the dissected segment. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a clinically silent cerebral infarction in the territory of the A1 segment perforators. Parent vessel occlusion for a dissected A1 segment can be effective, provided that sufficient collateral blood flow from the contralateral ACA is observed. We recommend endovascular trapping in this setting and hope that fellow clinicians select this approach for this rare pathology.

Lithium butatrienolates were prepared in situ by the 1,4-elimination from 2-butynyl trimethylsilyl ethers along with a retro-Brook rearrangement. The addition reaction of the enolates with the aldehydes afforded β-hydroxy-α-vinylidene acylsilanes.
