With more than 40,000 species, Malacostraca is the most diverse crustacean class. Most malacostracans are gonochoristic, but simultaneous hermaphrodites are also known. Tanaidacea is one of two malacostracan orders that includes simultaneously hermaphroditic species; so far, simultaneous hermaphroditism has been confirmed externally and internally in only two tanaidacean species, both in the genus Apseudes (Apseudidae). Here we show, through external and internal morphological observations of fixed specimens, that the apseudid Falsapseudes bowmani is a simultaneous hermaphrodite, making Falsapseudes the second tanaidacean genus in which simultaneous hermaphroditism has been confirmed both externally and internally. In this species, the epistome (a projection on the clypeus) was thick and elongate in large specimens but was thin and spiniform in smaller specimens; the brooding of eggs or embryos was observed only in thin-epistome individuals, although a pair of ovaries was confirmed in both thick- and thin-epistome individuals. This suggests that individuals with a thick epistome may act as males while also retaining the female reproductive organs.

Keywords: adenosine; adenosine 5′-triphosphate; cyclic adenosine 5′-monophosphate; hepatic stellate cell; liver fibrosisAim:  Activated hepatic stellate cells (HSC) play a critical role in liver fibrosis. Suppressing abnormal function of HSC or reversion from activated to quiescent form is a hopeful treatment for liver cirrhosis. The interaction between platelets and HSC remains unknown although platelets go through hepatic sinusoids surrounded by HSC. This study aimed at clarifying the hypothesis that platelets control activation of HSC.Methods:  We used human platelets, platelet extracts, and primary or immortalized human HSC. We examined the effect of platelets on the activation, DNA synthesis, type I collagen production, and fibrosis-relating gene expressions of HSC. We investigated what suppressed activation of HSC within platelets and examined the mechanism of controlling activation in vitro.Results:  Platelets and platelet extracts suppressed activation of HSC. Platelets decreased type I collagen production without affecting DNA synthesis. Platelets increased the expression of matrix metallopeptidase 1. As platelet extracts co-cultured with an enzyme of degrading adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) suppressed activation, we detected adenine nucleotides within platelets or on their surfaces and confirmed the degradation of adenine nucleotides by HSC and the production of adenosine. Adenosine and platelets increased the intracellular cyclic adenosine 5′-monophosphate (cAMP), which is important in quiescent HSC. A great amount of adenosine and ATP also suppressed activation of HSC.Conclusion:  Activation of human HSC is suppressed by human platelets or platelet-derived ATP via adenosine-cAMP signaling pathway in vitro. Therefore, platelets have the possibility to be used in the treatment of liver cirrhosis.
