    Lkb1 regulates quiescence and metabolic homeostasis of haematopoietic stem cells (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-12-03
    Description: The capacity to fine-tune cellular bioenergetics with the demands of stem-cell maintenance and regeneration is central to normal development and ageing, and to organismal survival during periods of acute stress. How energy metabolism and stem-cell homeostatic processes are coordinated is not well understood. Lkb1 acts as an evolutionarily conserved regulator of cellular energy metabolism in eukaryotic cells and functions as the major upstream kinase to phosphorylate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and 12 other AMPK-related kinases. Whether Lkb1 regulates stem-cell maintenance remains unknown. Here we show that Lkb1 has an essential role in haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) homeostasis. We demonstrate that ablation of Lkb1 in adult mice results in severe pancytopenia and subsequent lethality. Loss of Lkb1 leads to impaired survival and escape from quiescence of HSCs, resulting in exhaustion of the HSC pool and a marked reduction of HSC repopulating potential in vivo. Lkb1 deletion has an impact on cell proliferation in HSCs, but not on more committed compartments, pointing to context-specific functions for Lkb1 in haematopoiesis. The adverse impact of Lkb1 deletion on haematopoiesis was predominantly cell-autonomous and mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1)-independent, and involves multiple mechanisms converging on mitochondrial apoptosis and possibly downregulation of PGC-1 coactivators and their transcriptional network, which have critical roles in mitochondrial biogenesis and function. Thus, Lkb1 serves as an essential regulator of HSCs and haematopoiesis, and more generally, points to the critical importance of coupling energy metabolism and stem-cell homeostasis.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3058342/" 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/PMC3058342/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gan, Boyi -- Hu, Jian -- Jiang, Shan -- Liu, Yingchun -- Sahin, Ergun -- Zhuang, Li -- Fletcher-Sananikone, Eliot -- Colla, Simona -- Wang, Y Alan -- Chin, Lynda -- Depinho, Ronald A -- 01CA141508/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R21 CA135057/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R21 CA135057-01/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R21CA135057/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- U01 CA141508/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- U01 CA141508-01/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Dec 2;468(7324):701-4. doi: 10.1038/nature09595.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Belfer Institute for Applied Cancer Science, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21124456" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Disruption of the clock components CLOCK and BMAL1 leads to hypoinsulinaemia and diabetes (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-06-22
    Description: The molecular clock maintains energy constancy by producing circadian oscillations of rate-limiting enzymes involved in tissue metabolism across the day and night. During periods of feeding, pancreatic islets secrete insulin to maintain glucose homeostasis, and although rhythmic control of insulin release is recognized to be dysregulated in humans with diabetes, it is not known how the circadian clock may affect this process. Here we show that pancreatic islets possess self-sustained circadian gene and protein oscillations of the transcription factors CLOCK and BMAL1. The phase of oscillation of islet genes involved in growth, glucose metabolism and insulin signalling is delayed in circadian mutant mice, and both Clock and Bmal1 (also called Arntl) mutants show impaired glucose tolerance, reduced insulin secretion and defects in size and proliferation of pancreatic islets that worsen with age. Clock disruption leads to transcriptome-wide alterations in the expression of islet genes involved in growth, survival and synaptic vesicle assembly. Notably, conditional ablation of the pancreatic clock causes diabetes mellitus due to defective beta-cell function at the very latest stage of stimulus-secretion coupling. These results demonstrate a role for the beta-cell clock in coordinating insulin secretion with the sleep-wake cycle, and reveal that ablation of the pancreatic clock can trigger the onset of diabetes mellitus.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2920067/" 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/PMC2920067/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Marcheva, Biliana -- Ramsey, Kathryn Moynihan -- Buhr, Ethan D -- Kobayashi, Yumiko -- Su, Hong -- Ko, Caroline H -- Ivanova, Ganka -- Omura, Chiaki -- Mo, Shelley -- Vitaterna, Martha H -- Lopez, James P -- Philipson, Louis H -- Bradfield, Christopher A -- Crosby, Seth D -- JeBailey, Lellean -- Wang, Xiaozhong -- Takahashi, Joseph S -- Bass, Joseph -- P01 AG011412/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- P01 AG011412-080011/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL097817/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL097817-01/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R37 ES005703/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- R37-ES-005703/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Jul 29;466(7306):627-31. doi: 10.1038/nature09253.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medicine, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois 60611, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20562852" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    CD95 promotes tumour growth (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-05-28
    Description: CD95 (also called Fas and APO-1) is a prototypical death receptor that regulates tissue homeostasis mainly in the immune system through the induction of apoptosis. During cancer progression CD95 is frequently downregulated or cells are rendered apoptosis resistant, raising the possibility that loss of CD95 is part of a mechanism for tumour evasion. However, complete loss of CD95 is rarely seen in human cancers and many cancer cells express large quantities of CD95 and are highly sensitive to CD95-mediated apoptosis in vitro. Furthermore, cancer patients frequently have elevated levels of the physiological ligand for CD95, CD95L. These data raise the possibility that CD95 could actually promote the growth of tumours through its non-apoptotic activities. Here we show that cancer cells in general, regardless of their CD95 apoptosis sensitivity, depend on constitutive activity of CD95, stimulated by cancer-produced CD95L, for optimal growth. Consistently, loss of CD95 in mouse models of ovarian cancer and liver cancer reduces cancer incidence as well as the size of the tumours. The tumorigenic activity of CD95 is mediated by a pathway involving JNK and Jun. These results demonstrate that CD95 has a growth-promoting role during tumorigenesis and indicate that efforts to inhibit its activity rather than to enhance it should be considered during cancer therapy.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2879093/" 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/PMC2879093/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chen, Lina -- Park, Sun-Mi -- Tumanov, Alexei V -- Hau, Annika -- Sawada, Kenjiro -- Feig, Christine -- Turner, Jerrold R -- Fu, Yang-Xin -- Romero, Iris L -- Lengyel, Ernst -- Peter, Marcus E -- CA112240/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- K12 HD000849/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- L30 CA153336/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA095319/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA11182/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA112240/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA112240-01A1/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA112240-02/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA112240-03/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA112240-04/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA112240-05/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 May 27;465(7297):492-6. doi: 10.1038/nature09075.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉The Ben May Department for Cancer Research, The University of Chicago, 924 E 57th Street, Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20505730" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    DNMT1 maintains progenitor function in self-renewing somatic tissue (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-01-19
    Description: Progenitor cells maintain self-renewing tissues throughout life by sustaining their capacity for proliferation while suppressing cell cycle exit and terminal differentiation. DNA methylation provides a potential epigenetic mechanism for the cellular memory needed to preserve the somatic progenitor state through repeated cell divisions. DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) maintains DNA methylation patterns after cellular replication. Although dispensable for embryonic stem cell maintenance, the role for DNMT1 in maintaining the progenitor state in constantly replenished somatic tissues, such as mammalian epidermis, is unclear. Here we show that DNMT1 is essential for epidermal progenitor cell function. DNMT1 protein was found enriched in undifferentiated cells, where it was required to retain proliferative stamina and suppress differentiation. In tissue, DNMT1 depletion led to exit from the progenitor cell compartment, premature differentiation and eventual tissue loss. Genome-wide analysis showed that a significant portion of epidermal differentiation gene promoters were methylated in self-renewing conditions but were subsequently demethylated during differentiation. Furthermore, UHRF1 (refs 9, 10), a component of the DNA methylation machinery that targets DNMT1 to hemi-methylated DNA, is also necessary to suppress premature differentiation and sustain proliferation. In contrast, Gadd45A and B, which promote active DNA demethylation, are required for full epidermal differentiation gene induction. These data demonstrate that proteins involved in the dynamic regulation of DNA methylation patterns are required for progenitor maintenance and self-renewal in mammalian somatic tissue.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3050546/" 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/PMC3050546/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sen, George L -- Reuter, Jason A -- Webster, Daniel E -- Zhu, Lilly -- Khavari, Paul A -- AR055849/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- AR45192/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- F32 AR055849/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- F32 AR055849-02/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- K01 AR057828/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 AR045192/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 AR045192-11A2/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 AR049737/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 AR049737-05/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- T32 CA009302/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Jan 28;463(7280):563-7. doi: 10.1038/nature08683.

    Zscan4 regulates telomere elongation and genomic stability in ES cells (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-03-26
    Description: Exceptional genomic stability is one of the hallmarks of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. However, the genes contributing to this stability remain obscure. We previously identified Zscan4 as a specific marker for two-cell embryo and ES cells. Here we show that Zscan4 is involved in telomere maintenance and long-term genomic stability in ES cells. Only 5% of ES cells express Zscan4 at a given time, but nearly all ES cells activate Zscan4 at least once during nine passages. The transient Zscan4-positive state is associated with rapid telomere extension by telomere recombination and upregulation of meiosis-specific homologous recombination genes, which encode proteins that are colocalized with ZSCAN4 on telomeres. Furthermore, Zscan4 knockdown shortens telomeres, increases karyotype abnormalities and spontaneous sister chromatid exchange, and slows down cell proliferation until reaching crisis by passage eight. Together, our data show a unique mode of genome maintenance in ES cells.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2851843/" 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/PMC2851843/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zalzman, Michal -- Falco, Geppino -- Sharova, Lioudmila V -- Nishiyama, Akira -- Thomas, Marshall -- Lee, Sung-Lim -- Stagg, Carole A -- Hoang, Hien G -- Yang, Hsih-Te -- Indig, Fred E -- Wersto, Robert P -- Ko, Minoru S H -- ZIA AG000655-11/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- ZIA AG000656-11/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- ZIA AG000700-02/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- ZIA AG000706-02/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Apr 8;464(7290):858-63. doi: 10.1038/nature08882.

    Role of Tet proteins in 5mC to 5hmC conversion, ES-cell self-renewal and inner cell mass specification (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-07-20
    Description: DNA methylation is one of the best-characterized epigenetic modifications. Although the enzymes that catalyse DNA methylation have been characterized, enzymes responsible for demethylation have been elusive. A recent study indicates that the human TET1 protein could catalyse the conversion of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) of DNA to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), raising the possibility that DNA demethylation may be a Tet1-mediated process. Here we extend this study by demonstrating that all three mouse Tet proteins (Tet1, Tet2 and Tet3) can also catalyse a similar reaction. Tet1 has an important role in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell maintenance through maintaining the expression of Nanog in ES cells. Downregulation of Nanog via Tet1 knockdown correlates with methylation of the Nanog promoter, supporting a role for Tet1 in regulating DNA methylation status. Furthermore, knockdown of Tet1 in pre-implantation embryos results in a bias towards trophectoderm differentiation. Thus, our studies not only uncover the enzymatic activity of the Tet proteins, but also demonstrate a role for Tet1 in ES cell maintenance and inner cell mass cell specification.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3491567/" 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/PMC3491567/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ito, Shinsuke -- D'Alessio, Ana C -- Taranova, Olena V -- Hong, Kwonho -- Sowers, Lawrence C -- Zhang, Yi -- CA084487/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- GM68804/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Aug 26;466(7310):1129-33. doi: 10.1038/nature09303.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20639862" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Targeted deletion of the 9p21 non-coding coronary artery disease risk interval in mice (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-02-23
    Description: Sequence polymorphisms in a 58-kilobase (kb) interval on chromosome 9p21 confer a markedly increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), the leading cause of death worldwide. The variants have a substantial effect on the epidemiology of CAD and other life-threatening vascular conditions because nearly one-quarter of Caucasians are homozygous for risk alleles. However, the risk interval is devoid of protein-coding genes and the mechanism linking the region to CAD risk has remained enigmatic. Here we show that deletion of the orthologous 70-kb non-coding interval on mouse chromosome 4 affects cardiac expression of neighbouring genes, as well as proliferation properties of vascular cells. Chr4(Delta70kb/Delta70kb) mice are viable, but show increased mortality both during development and as adults. Cardiac expression of two genes near the non-coding interval, Cdkn2a and Cdkn2b, is severely reduced in chr4(Delta70kb/Delta70kb) mice, indicating that distant-acting gene regulatory functions are located in the non-coding CAD risk interval. Allele-specific expression of Cdkn2b transcripts in heterozygous mice showed that the deletion affects expression through a cis-acting mechanism. Primary cultures of chr4(Delta70kb/Delta70kb) aortic smooth muscle cells exhibited excessive proliferation and diminished senescence, a cellular phenotype consistent with accelerated CAD pathogenesis. Taken together, our results provide direct evidence that the CAD risk interval has a pivotal role in regulation of cardiac Cdkn2a/b expression, and suggest that this region affects CAD progression by altering the dynamics of vascular cell proliferation.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2938076/" 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/PMC2938076/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Visel, Axel -- Zhu, Yiwen -- May, Dalit -- Afzal, Veena -- Gong, Elaine -- Attanasio, Catia -- Blow, Matthew J -- Cohen, Jonathan C -- Rubin, Edward M -- Pennacchio, Len A -- DK59630/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG003988/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG003988-04/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL082896/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL082896-03/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R21 HL098940/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R21 HL098940-01/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- U01 HL066681/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- U01 HL066681-08/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Mar 18;464(7287):409-12. doi: 10.1038/nature08801.

    Conversion of adult pancreatic alpha-cells to beta-cells after extreme beta-cell loss (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-04-07
    Description: Pancreatic insulin-producing beta-cells have a long lifespan, such that in healthy conditions they replicate little during a lifetime. Nevertheless, they show increased self-duplication after increased metabolic demand or after injury (that is, beta-cell loss). It is not known whether adult mammals can differentiate (regenerate) new beta-cells after extreme, total beta-cell loss, as in diabetes. This would indicate differentiation from precursors or another heterologous (non-beta-cell) source. Here we show beta-cell regeneration in a transgenic model of diphtheria-toxin-induced acute selective near-total beta-cell ablation. If given insulin, the mice survived and showed beta-cell mass augmentation with time. Lineage-tracing to label the glucagon-producing alpha-cells before beta-cell ablation tracked large fractions of regenerated beta-cells as deriving from alpha-cells, revealing a previously disregarded degree of pancreatic cell plasticity. Such inter-endocrine spontaneous adult cell conversion could be harnessed towards methods of producing beta-cells for diabetes therapies, either in differentiation settings in vitro or in induced regeneration.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2877635/" 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/PMC2877635/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Thorel, Fabrizio -- Nepote, Virginie -- Avril, Isabelle -- Kohno, Kenji -- Desgraz, Renaud -- Chera, Simona -- Herrera, Pedro L -- U01 DK072522/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- U01 DK072522-01/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- U01 DK072522-02/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- U01 DK072522-03/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- U01 DK072522-04/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- U01 DK072522-05/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Apr 22;464(7292):1149-54. doi: 10.1038/nature08894.

    The kinetics of two-dimensional TCR and pMHC interactions determine T-cell responsiveness (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-04-02
    Description: The T-cell receptor (TCR) interacts with peptide-major histocompatibility complexes (pMHC) to discriminate pathogens from self-antigens and trigger adaptive immune responses. Direct physical contact is required between the T cell and the antigen-presenting cell for cross-junctional binding where the TCR and pMHC are anchored on two-dimensional (2D) membranes of the apposing cells. Despite their 2D nature, TCR-pMHC binding kinetics have only been analysed three-dimensionally (3D) with a varying degree of correlation with the T-cell responsiveness. Here we use two mechanical assays to show high 2D affinities between a TCR and its antigenic pMHC driven by rapid on-rates. Compared to their 3D counterparts, 2D affinities and on-rates of the TCR for a panel of pMHC ligands possess far broader dynamic ranges that match that of their corresponding T-cell responses. The best 3D predictor of response is the off-rate, with agonist pMHC dissociating the slowest. In contrast, 2D off-rates are up to 8,300-fold faster, with the agonist pMHC dissociating the fastest. Our 2D data suggest rapid antigen sampling by T cells and serial engagement of a few agonist pMHCs by TCRs in a large self pMHC background. Thus, the cellular environment amplifies the intrinsic TCR-pMHC binding to generate broad affinities and rapid kinetics that determine T-cell responsiveness.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2925443/" 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/PMC2925443/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Huang, Jun -- Zarnitsyna, Veronika I -- Liu, Baoyu -- Edwards, Lindsay J -- Jiang, Ning -- Evavold, Brian D -- Zhu, Cheng -- AI060799/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI38282/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- NS062358/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS062358/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS062358-01A1/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS071518/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Apr 8;464(7290):932-6. doi: 10.1038/nature08944.
