    Description: The clinical efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase inhibitors in EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is limited by the development of drug-resistance mutations, including the gatekeeper T790M mutation. Strategies targeting EGFR T790M with irreversible inhibitors have had limited success and are associated with toxicity due to concurrent inhibition of wild-type EGFR. All current EGFR inhibitors possess a structurally related quinazoline-based core scaffold and were identified as ATP-competitive inhibitors of wild-type EGFR. Here we identify a covalent pyrimidine EGFR inhibitor by screening an irreversible kinase inhibitor library specifically against EGFR T790M. These agents are 30- to 100-fold more potent against EGFR T790M, and up to 100-fold less potent against wild-type EGFR, than quinazoline-based EGFR inhibitors in vitro. They are also effective in murine models of lung cancer driven by EGFR T790M. Co-crystallization studies reveal a structural basis for the increased potency and mutant selectivity of these agents. These mutant-selective irreversible EGFR kinase inhibitors may be clinically more effective and better tolerated than quinazoline-based inhibitors. Our findings demonstrate that functional pharmacological screens against clinically important mutant kinases represent a powerful strategy to identify new classes of mutant-selective kinase inhibitors.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2879581/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2879581/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zhou, Wenjun -- Ercan, Dalia -- Chen, Liang -- Yun, Cai-Hong -- Li, Danan -- Capelletti, Marzia -- Cortot, Alexis B -- Chirieac, Lucian -- Iacob, Roxana E -- Padera, Robert -- Engen, John R -- Wong, Kwok-Kin -- Eck, Michael J -- Gray, Nathanael S -- Janne, Pasi A -- P50CA090578/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA122794/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA130876/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA130876-02/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA135257/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01AG2400401/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01CA080942/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01CA11446/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01CA116020/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01CA130876-02/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01CA135257/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01GM070590/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Dec 24;462(7276):1070-4. doi: 10.1038/nature08622.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cancer Biology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, 44 Binney Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20033049" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The inference of transcriptional networks that regulate transitions into physiological or pathological cellular states remains a central challenge in systems biology. A mesenchymal phenotype is the hallmark of tumour aggressiveness in human malignant glioma, but the regulatory programs responsible for implementing the associated molecular signature are largely unknown. Here we show that reverse-engineering and an unbiased interrogation of a glioma-specific regulatory network reveal the transcriptional module that activates expression of mesenchymal genes in malignant glioma. Two transcription factors (C/EBPbeta and STAT3) emerge as synergistic initiators and master regulators of mesenchymal transformation. Ectopic co-expression of C/EBPbeta and STAT3 reprograms neural stem cells along the aberrant mesenchymal lineage, whereas elimination of the two factors in glioma cells leads to collapse of the mesenchymal signature and reduces tumour aggressiveness. In human glioma, expression of C/EBPbeta and STAT3 correlates with mesenchymal differentiation and predicts poor clinical outcome. These results show that the activation of a small regulatory module is necessary and sufficient to initiate and maintain an aberrant phenotypic state in cancer cells.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4011561/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4011561/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Carro, Maria Stella -- Lim, Wei Keat -- Alvarez, Mariano Javier -- Bollo, Robert J -- Zhao, Xudong -- Snyder, Evan Y -- Sulman, Erik P -- Anne, Sandrine L -- Doetsch, Fiona -- Colman, Howard -- Lasorella, Anna -- Aldape, Ken -- Califano, Andrea -- Iavarone, Antonio -- 1RC2CA148308-01/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P20 GM075059/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P20GM075059/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA085628/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA101644/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA109755/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA127643/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS061776/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS061776-01A2/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS061776-02/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01CA085628/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01CA101644/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01CA109755/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01NS061776/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- RC2 CA148308/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- U01 CA168426/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- U54 CA121852/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- U54CA121852/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Jan 21;463(7279):318-25. doi: 10.1038/nature08712.

    Description: Reprogramming of somatic cell nuclei to yield induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells makes possible derivation of patient-specific stem cells for regenerative medicine. However, iPS cell generation is asynchronous and slow (2-3 weeks), the frequency is low (〈0.1%), and DNA demethylation constitutes a bottleneck. To determine regulatory mechanisms involved in reprogramming, we generated interspecies heterokaryons (fused mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells and human fibroblasts) that induce reprogramming synchronously, frequently and fast. Here we show that reprogramming towards pluripotency in single heterokaryons is initiated without cell division or DNA replication, rapidly (1 day) and efficiently (70%). Short interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated knockdown showed that activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID, also known as AICDA) is required for promoter demethylation and induction of OCT4 (also known as POU5F1) and NANOG gene expression. AID protein bound silent methylated OCT4 and NANOG promoters in fibroblasts, but not active demethylated promoters in ES cells. These data provide new evidence that mammalian AID is required for active DNA demethylation and initiation of nuclear reprogramming towards pluripotency in human somatic cells.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2906123/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2906123/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bhutani, Nidhi -- Brady, Jennifer J -- Damian, Mara -- Sacco, Alessandra -- Corbel, Stephane Y -- Blau, Helen M -- AG009521/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- AG024987/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- AI007328/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG009521/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG009521-25/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG024987/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG024987-05/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- T32 AI007328/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U01 HL100397/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Feb 25;463(7284):1042-7. doi: 10.1038/nature08752.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Baxter Laboratory for Stem Cell Biology, Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California 94305-5175, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20027182" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: MCL1 is essential for the survival of stem and progenitor cells of multiple lineages, and is unique among pro-survival BCL2 family members in that it is rapidly turned over through the action of ubiquitin ligases. B- and mantle-cell lymphomas, chronic myeloid leukaemia, and multiple myeloma, however, express abnormally high levels of MCL1, contributing to chemoresistance and disease relapse. The mechanism of MCL1 overexpression in cancer is not well understood. Here we show that the deubiquitinase USP9X stabilizes MCL1 and thereby promotes cell survival. USP9X binds MCL1 and removes the Lys 48-linked polyubiquitin chains that normally mark MCL1 for proteasomal degradation. Increased USP9X expression correlates with increased MCL1 protein in human follicular lymphomas and diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. Moreover, patients with multiple myeloma overexpressing USP9X have a poor prognosis. Knockdown of USP9X increases MCL1 polyubiquitination, which enhances MCL1 turnover and cell killing by the BH3 mimetic ABT-737. These results identify USP9X as a prognostic and therapeutic target, and they show that deubiquitinases may stabilize labile oncoproteins in human malignancies.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schwickart, Martin -- Huang, Xiaodong -- Lill, Jennie R -- Liu, Jinfeng -- Ferrando, Ronald -- French, Dorothy M -- Maecker, Heather -- O'Rourke, Karen -- Bazan, Fernando -- Eastham-Anderson, Jeffrey -- Yue, Peng -- Dornan, David -- Huang, David C S -- Dixit, Vishva M -- England -- Nature. 2010 Jan 7;463(7277):103-7. doi: 10.1038/nature08646.

    Description: Innate immune responses are important in combating various microbes during the early phases of infection. Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that, unlike T and B lymphocytes, do not express antigen receptors but rapidly exhibit cytotoxic activities against virus-infected cells and produce various cytokines. Here we report a new type of innate lymphocyte present in a novel lymphoid structure associated with adipose tissues in the peritoneal cavity. These cells do not express lineage (Lin) markers but do express c-Kit, Sca-1 (also known as Ly6a), IL7R and IL33R. Similar lymphoid clusters were found in both human and mouse mesentery and we term this tissue 'FALC' (fat-associated lymphoid cluster). FALC Lin(-)c-Kit(+)Sca-1(+) cells are distinct from lymphoid progenitors and lymphoid tissue inducer cells. These cells proliferate in response to IL2 and produce large amounts of T(H)2 cytokines such as IL5, IL6 and IL13. IL5 and IL6 regulate B-cell antibody production and self-renewal of B1 cells. Indeed, FALC Lin(-)c-Kit(+)Sca-1(+) cells support the self-renewal of B1 cells and enhance IgA production. IL5 and IL13 mediate allergic inflammation and protection against helminth infection. After helminth infection and in response to IL33, FALC Lin(-)c-Kit(+)Sca-1(+) cells produce large amounts of IL13, which leads to goblet cell hyperplasia-a critical step for helminth expulsion. In mice devoid of FALC Lin(-)c-Kit(+)Sca-1(+) cells, such goblet cell hyperplasia was not induced. Thus, FALC Lin(-)c-Kit(+)Sca-1(+) cells are T(H)2-type innate lymphocytes, and we propose that these cells be called 'natural helper cells'.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Moro, Kazuyo -- Yamada, Taketo -- Tanabe, Masanobu -- Takeuchi, Tsutomu -- Ikawa, Tomokatsu -- Kawamoto, Hiroshi -- Furusawa, Jun-Ichi -- Ohtani, Masashi -- Fujii, Hideki -- Koyasu, Shigeo -- England -- Nature. 2010 Jan 28;463(7280):540-4. doi: 10.1038/nature08636.

    Description: Acute exposure to ionizing radiation can cause lethal damage to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, a condition called the GI syndrome. Whether the target cells affected by radiation to cause the GI syndrome are derived from the epithelium or endothelium and whether the target cells die by apoptosis or other mechanisms are controversial issues. Studying mouse models, we found that selective deletion of the proapoptotic genes Bak1 and Bax from the GI epithelium or from endothelial cells did not protect mice from developing the GI syndrome after sub-total-body gamma irradiation. In contrast, selective deletion of p53 from the GI epithelium, but not from endothelial cells, sensitized irradiated mice to the GI syndrome. Transgenic mice overexpressing p53 in all tissues were protected from the GI syndrome after irradiation. These results suggest that the GI syndrome is caused by the death of GI epithelial cells and that these epithelial cells die by a mechanism that is regulated by p53 but independent of apoptosis.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2897160/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2897160/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kirsch, David G -- Santiago, Philip M -- di Tomaso, Emmanuelle -- Sullivan, Julie M -- Hou, Wu-Shiun -- Dayton, Talya -- Jeffords, Laura B -- Sodha, Pooja -- Mercer, Kim L -- Cohen, Rhianna -- Takeuchi, Osamu -- Korsmeyer, Stanley J -- Bronson, Roderick T -- Kim, Carla F -- Haigis, Kevin M -- Jain, Rakesh K -- Jacks, Tyler -- K08 CA 114176/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- K08 CA114176/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- K08 CA114176-05/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA080124/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA080124-01A1/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA80124/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P30 CA014051/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P30 CA014051-38/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P30 DK043351/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P30-CA14051/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- RC1 AI078521/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- RC1 AI078521-01/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- RC1-AI078521/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U19-AI06775/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Jan 29;327(5965):593-6. doi: 10.1126/science.1166202.

    Description: The activating E2f transcription factors (E2f1, E2f2 and E2f3) induce transcription and are widely viewed as essential positive cell cycle regulators. Indeed, they drive cells out of quiescence, and the 'cancer cell cycle' in Rb1 null cells is E2f-dependent. Absence of activating E2fs in flies or mammalian fibroblasts causes cell cycle arrest, but this block is alleviated by removing repressive E2f or the tumour suppressor p53, respectively. Thus, whether activating E2fs are indispensable for normal division is an area of debate. Activating E2fs are also well known pro-apoptotic factors, providing a defence against oncogenesis, yet E2f1 can limit irradiation-induced apoptosis. In flies this occurs through repression of hid (also called Wrinkled; Smac/Diablo in mammals). However, in mammals the mechanism is unclear because Smac/Diablo is induced, not repressed, by E2f1, and in keratinocytes survival is promoted indirectly through induction of DNA repair targets. Thus, a direct pro-survival function for E2f1-3 and/or its relevance beyond irradiation has not been established. To address E2f1-3 function in normal cells in vivo we focused on the mouse retina, which is a relatively simple central nervous system component that can be manipulated genetically without compromising viability and has provided considerable insight into development and cancer. Here we show that unlike fibroblasts, E2f1-3 null retinal progenitor cells or activated Muller glia can divide. We attribute this effect to functional interchangeability with Mycn. However, loss of activating E2fs caused downregulation of the p53 deacetylase Sirt1, p53 hyperacetylation and elevated apoptosis, establishing a novel E2f-Sirt1-p53 survival axis in vivo. Thus, activating E2fs are not universally required for normal mammalian cell division, but have an unexpected pro-survival role in development.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2813224/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2813224/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chen, Danian -- Pacal, Marek -- Wenzel, Pamela -- Knoepfler, Paul S -- Leone, Gustavo -- Bremner, Rod -- MOP-74570/Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada -- R01 CA121275/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA121275-02/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Dec 17;462(7275):925-9. doi: 10.1038/nature08544.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Toronto Western Research Institute, University Health Network, Department of Ophthalmology, and Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology, University of Toronto, Ontario M5T 2S8, Canada.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20016601" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In the established model of mammalian cell cycle control, the retinoblastoma protein (Rb) functions to restrict cells from entering S phase by binding and sequestering E2f activators (E2f1, E2f2 and E2f3), which are invariably portrayed as the ultimate effectors of a transcriptional program that commit cells to enter and progress through S phase. Using a panel of tissue-specific cre-transgenic mice and conditional E2f alleles we examined the effects of E2f1, E2f2 and E2f3 triple deficiency in murine embryonic stem cells, embryos and small intestines. We show that in normal dividing progenitor cells E2f1-3 function as transcriptional activators, but contrary to the current view, are dispensable for cell division and instead are necessary for cell survival. In differentiating cells E2f1-3 function in a complex with Rb as repressors to silence E2f targets and facilitate exit from the cell cycle. The inactivation of Rb in differentiating cells resulted in a switch of E2f1-3 from repressors to activators, leading to the superactivation of E2f responsive targets and ectopic cell divisions. Loss of E2f1-3 completely suppressed these phenotypes caused by Rb deficiency. This work contextualizes the activator versus repressor functions of E2f1-3 in vivo, revealing distinct roles in dividing versus differentiating cells and in normal versus cancer-like cell cycles.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2806193/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2806193/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chong, Jean-Leon -- Wenzel, Pamela L -- Saenz-Robles, M Teresa -- Nair, Vivek -- Ferrey, Antoney -- Hagan, John P -- Gomez, Yorman M -- Sharma, Nidhi -- Chen, Hui-Zi -- Ouseph, Madhu -- Wang, Shu-Huei -- Trikha, Prashant -- Culp, Brian -- Mezache, Louise -- Winton, Douglas J -- Sansom, Owen J -- Chen, Danian -- Bremner, Rod -- Cantalupo, Paul G -- Robinson, Michael L -- Pipas, James M -- Leone, Gustavo -- 5 T32 CA106196-04/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA098956/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01CA097189/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA098956/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA098956-06A2/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01CA82259/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01CA85619/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01HD04470/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Dec 17;462(7275):930-4. doi: 10.1038/nature08677.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Virology, Immunology and Medical Genetics, College of Medicine, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20016602" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: It is generally assumed that sister chromatids are genetically and functionally identical and that segregation to daughter cells is a random process. However, functional differences between sister chromatids regulate daughter cell fate in yeast and sister chromatid segregation is not random in Escherichia coli. Differentiated sister chromatids, coupled with non-random segregation, have been proposed to regulate cell fate during the development of multicellular organisms. This hypothesis has not been tested because molecular features to reliably distinguish between sister chromatids are not obvious. Here we show that parental 'Watson' and 'Crick' DNA template strands can be identified in sister chromatids of murine metaphase chromosomes using CO-FISH (chromosome orientation fluorescence in situ hybridization) with unidirectional probes specific for centromeric and telomeric repeats. All chromosomes were found to have a uniform orientation with the 5' end of the short arm on the same strand as T-rich major satellite repeats. The invariable orientation of repetitive DNA was used to differentially label sister chromatids and directly study mitotic segregation patterns in different cell types. Whereas sister chromatids appeared to be randomly distributed between daughter cells in cultured lung fibroblasts and embryonic stem cells, significant non-random sister chromatid segregation was observed in a subset of colon crypt epithelial cells, including cells outside positions reported for colon stem cells. Our results establish that DNA template sequences can be used to distinguish sister chromatids and follow their mitotic segregation in vivo.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3757939/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3757939/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Falconer, Ester -- Chavez, Elizabeth A -- Henderson, Alexander -- Poon, Steven S S -- McKinney, Steven -- Brown, Lindsay -- Huntsman, David G -- Lansdorp, Peter M -- R01 GM094146/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- RMF-92093/Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada -- England -- Nature. 2010 Jan 7;463(7277):93-7. doi: 10.1038/nature08644.
