    Secreted semaphorins control spine distribution and morphogenesis in the postnatal CNS (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-12-17
    Description: The majority of excitatory synapses in the mammalian CNS (central nervous system) are formed on dendritic spines, and spine morphology and distribution are critical for synaptic transmission, synaptic integration and plasticity. Here, we show that a secreted semaphorin, Sema3F, is a negative regulator of spine development and synaptic structure. Mice with null mutations in genes encoding Sema3F, and its holoreceptor components neuropilin-2 (Npn-2, also known as Nrp2) and plexin A3 (PlexA3, also known as Plxna3), exhibit increased dentate gyrus (DG) granule cell (GC) and cortical layer V pyramidal neuron spine number and size, and also aberrant spine distribution. Moreover, Sema3F promotes loss of spines and excitatory synapses in dissociated neurons in vitro, and in Npn-2(-/-) brain slices cortical layer V and DG GCs exhibit increased mEPSC (miniature excitatory postsynaptic current) frequency. In contrast, a distinct Sema3A-Npn-1/PlexA4 signalling cascade controls basal dendritic arborization in layer V cortical neurons, but does not influence spine morphogenesis or distribution. These disparate effects of secreted semaphorins are reflected in the restricted dendritic localization of Npn-2 to apical dendrites and of Npn-1 (also known as Nrp1) to all dendrites of cortical pyramidal neurons. Therefore, Sema3F signalling controls spine distribution along select dendritic processes, and distinct secreted semaphorin signalling events orchestrate CNS connectivity through the differential control of spine morphogenesis, synapse formation, and the elaboration of dendritic morphology.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2842559/" 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/PMC2842559/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tran, Tracy S -- Rubio, Maria E -- Clem, Roger L -- Johnson, Dontais -- Case, Lauren -- Tessier-Lavigne, Marc -- Huganir, Richard L -- Ginty, David D -- Kolodkin, Alex L -- F32 NS051003/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P50 MH06883/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 DC-006881/DC/NIDCD NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH059199/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH059199-07/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH059199-08/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH059199-09/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH059199-10/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH59199/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Dec 24;462(7276):1065-9. doi: 10.1038/nature08628.

    Casein kinase 1alpha governs antigen-receptor-induced NF-kappaB activation and human lymphoma cell survival (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-01-02
    Description: The transcription factor NF-kappaB is required for lymphocyte activation and proliferation as well as the survival of certain lymphoma types. Antigen receptor stimulation assembles an NF-kappaB activating platform containing the scaffold protein CARMA1 (also called CARD11), the adaptor BCL10 and the paracaspase MALT1 (the CBM complex), linked to the inhibitor of NF-kappaB kinase complex, but signal transduction is not fully understood. We conducted parallel screens involving a mass spectrometry analysis of CARMA1 binding partners and an RNA interference screen for growth inhibition of the CBM-dependent 'activated B-cell-like' (ABC) subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Here we report that both screens identified casein kinase 1alpha (CK1alpha) as a bifunctional regulator of NF-kappaB. CK1alpha dynamically associates with the CBM complex on T-cell-receptor (TCR) engagement to participate in cytokine production and lymphocyte proliferation. However, CK1alpha kinase activity has a contrasting role by subsequently promoting the phosphorylation and inactivation of CARMA1. CK1alpha has thus a dual 'gating' function which first promotes and then terminates receptor-induced NF-kappaB. ABC DLBCL cells required CK1alpha for constitutive NF-kappaB activity, indicating that CK1alpha functions as a conditionally essential malignancy gene-a member of a new class of potential cancer therapeutic targets.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2688735/" 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/PMC2688735/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bidere, Nicolas -- Ngo, Vu N -- Lee, Jeansun -- Collins, Cailin -- Zheng, Lixin -- Wan, Fengyi -- Davis, R Eric -- Lenz, Georg -- Anderson, D Eric -- Arnoult, Damien -- Vazquez, Aime -- Sakai, Keiko -- Zhang, Jun -- Meng, Zhaojing -- Veenstra, Timothy D -- Staudt, Louis M -- Lenardo, Michael J -- NIH0011349228/PHS HHS/ -- Intramural NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Mar 5;458(7234):92-6. doi: 10.1038/nature07613.

    Effects of genetic perturbation on seasonal life history plasticity (2009)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-01-20
    Description: Like many species, the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana exhibits multiple different life histories in natural environments. We grew mutants impaired in different signaling pathways in field experiments across the species' native European range in order to dissect the mechanisms underlying this variation. Unexpectedly, mutational loss at loci implicated in the cold requirement for flowering had little effect on life history except in late-summer cohorts. A genetically informed photothermal model of progression toward flowering explained most of the observed variation and predicted an abrupt transition from autumn flowering to spring flowering in late-summer germinants. Environmental signals control the timing of this transition, creating a critical window of acute sensitivity to genetic and climatic change that may be common for seasonally regulated life history traits.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wilczek, Amity M -- Roe, Judith L -- Knapp, Mary C -- Cooper, Martha D -- Lopez-Gallego, Cristina -- Martin, Laura J -- Muir, Christopher D -- Sim, Sheina -- Walker, Alexis -- Anderson, Jillian -- Egan, J Franklin -- Moyers, Brook T -- Petipas, Renee -- Giakountis, Antonis -- Charbit, Erika -- Coupland, George -- Welch, Stephen M -- Schmitt, Johanna -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 Feb 13;323(5916):930-4. doi: 10.1126/science.1165826.

    Smoothened mutation confers resistance to a Hedgehog pathway inhibitor in medulloblastoma (2009)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-09-04
    Description: The Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is inappropriately activated in certain human cancers, including medulloblastoma, an aggressive brain tumor. GDC-0449, a drug that inhibits Hh signaling by targeting the serpentine receptor Smoothened (SMO), has produced promising anti-tumor responses in early clinical studies of cancers driven by mutations in this pathway. To evaluate the mechanism of resistance in a medulloblastoma patient who had relapsed after an initial response to GDC-0449, we determined the mutational status of Hh signaling genes in the tumor after disease progression. We identified an amino acid substitution at a conserved aspartic acid residue of SMO that had no effect on Hh signaling but disrupted the ability of GDC-0449 to bind SMO and suppress this pathway. A mutation altering the same amino acid also arose in a GDC-0449-resistant mouse model of medulloblastoma. These findings show that acquired mutations in a serpentine receptor with features of a G protein-coupled receptor can serve as a mechanism of drug resistance in human cancer.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yauch, Robert L -- Dijkgraaf, Gerrit J P -- Alicke, Bruno -- Januario, Thomas -- Ahn, Christina P -- Holcomb, Thomas -- Pujara, Kanan -- Stinson, Jeremy -- Callahan, Christopher A -- Tang, Tracy -- Bazan, J Fernando -- Kan, Zhengyan -- Seshagiri, Somasekar -- Hann, Christine L -- Gould, Stephen E -- Low, Jennifer A -- Rudin, Charles M -- de Sauvage, Frederic J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 Oct 23;326(5952):572-4. doi: 10.1126/science.1179386.

    gamma-Secretase heterogeneity in the Aph1 subunit: relevance for Alzheimer's disease (2009)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-03-21
    Description: The gamma-secretase complex plays a role in Alzheimer's disease and cancer progression. The development of clinically useful inhibitors, however, is complicated by the role of the gamma-secretase complex in regulated intramembrane proteolysis of Notch and other essential proteins. Different gamma-secretase complexes containing different Presenilin or Aph1 protein subunits are present in various tissues. Here we show that these complexes have heterogeneous biochemical and physiological properties. Specific inactivation of the Aph1B gamma-secretase in a mouse Alzheimer's disease model led to improvements of Alzheimer's disease-relevant phenotypic features without any Notch-related side effects. The Aph1B complex contributes to total gamma-secretase activity in the human brain, and thus specific targeting of Aph1B-containing gamma-secretase complexes may help generate less toxic therapies for Alzheimer's disease.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2740474/" 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/PMC2740474/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Serneels, Lutgarde -- Van Biervliet, Jerome -- Craessaerts, Katleen -- Dejaegere, Tim -- Horre, Katrien -- Van Houtvin, Tine -- Esselmann, Hermann -- Paul, Sabine -- Schafer, Martin K -- Berezovska, Oksana -- Hyman, Bradley T -- Sprangers, Ben -- Sciot, Raf -- Moons, Lieve -- Jucker, Mathias -- Yang, Zhixiang -- May, Patrick C -- Karran, Eric -- Wiltfang, Jens -- D'Hooge, Rudi -- De Strooper, Bart -- AG 13579/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- AG026593/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- P01 AG015379/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- P01 AG015379-110009/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- P01AG015379/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG026593/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG026593-01A1/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01AG026593/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 May 1;324(5927):639-42. doi: 10.1126/science.1171176.

    Proteasomal regulation of the hypoxic response modulates aging in C. elegans (2009)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-04-18
    Description: The Caenorhabditis elegans von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor homolog VHL-1 is a cullin E3 ubiquitin ligase that negatively regulates the hypoxic response by promoting ubiquitination and degradation of the hypoxic response transcription factor HIF-1. Here, we report that loss of VHL-1 significantly increased life span and enhanced resistance to polyglutamine and beta-amyloid toxicity. Deletion of HIF-1 was epistatic to VHL-1, indicating that HIF-1 acts downstream of VHL-1 to modulate aging and proteotoxicity. VHL-1 and HIF-1 control longevity by a mechanism distinct from both dietary restriction and insulin-like signaling. These findings define VHL-1 and the hypoxic response as an alternative longevity and protein homeostasis pathway.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2737476/" 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/PMC2737476/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mehta, Ranjana -- Steinkraus, Katherine A -- Sutphin, George L -- Ramos, Fresnida J -- Shamieh, Lara S -- Huh, Alexander -- Davis, Christina -- Chandler-Brown, Devon -- Kaeberlein, Matt -- 1R01AG031108-01/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- P30AG013280/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG031108/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG031108-01A1/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 May 29;324(5931):1196-8. doi: 10.1126/science.1173507.

    Activation of the PI3K pathway in cancer through inhibition of PTEN by exchange factor P-REX2a (2009)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-09-05
    Description: PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog on chromosome 10) is a tumor suppressor whose cellular regulation remains incompletely understood. We identified phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate RAC exchanger 2a (P-REX2a) as a PTEN-interacting protein. P-REX2a mRNA was more abundant in human cancer cells and significantly increased in tumors with wild-type PTEN that expressed an activated mutant of PIK3CA encoding the p110 subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase subunit alpha (PI3Kalpha). P-REX2a inhibited PTEN lipid phosphatase activity and stimulated the PI3K pathway only in the presence of PTEN. P-REX2a stimulated cell growth and cooperated with a PIK3CA mutant to promote growth factor-independent proliferation and transformation. Depletion of P-REX2a reduced amounts of phosphorylated AKT and growth in human cell lines with intact PTEN. Thus, P-REX2a is a component of the PI3K pathway that can antagonize PTEN in cancer cells.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2936784/" 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/PMC2936784/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Fine, Barry -- Hodakoski, Cindy -- Koujak, Susan -- Su, Tao -- Saal, Lao H -- Maurer, Matthew -- Hopkins, Benjamin -- Keniry, Megan -- Sulis, Maria Luisa -- Mense, Sarah -- Hibshoosh, Hanina -- Parsons, Ramon -- CA097403/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA097403/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA097403-01A10003/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA097403-06A1/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA082783/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA082783-06/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA082783-07/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA082783-08/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA082783-09/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA082783-10/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 Sep 4;325(5945):1261-5. doi: 10.1126/science.1173569.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute for Cancer Genetics and Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center, Columbia University, 1130 St. Nicholas Avenue, New York, NY 10032, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19729658" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    HMGB proteins function as universal sentinels for nucleic-acid-mediated innate immune responses (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-11-06
    Description: The activation of innate immune responses by nucleic acids is crucial to protective and pathological immunities and is mediated by the transmembrane Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and cytosolic receptors. However, it remains unknown whether a mechanism exists that integrates these nucleic-acid-sensing systems. Here we show that high-mobility group box (HMGB) proteins 1, 2 and 3 function as universal sentinels for nucleic acids. HMGBs bind to all immunogenic nucleic acids examined with a correlation between affinity and immunogenic potential. Hmgb1(-/-) and Hmgb2(-/-) mouse cells are defective in type-I interferon and inflammatory cytokine induction by DNA or RNA targeted to activate the cytosolic nucleic-acid-sensing receptors; cells in which the expression of all three HMGBs is suppressed show a more profound defect, accompanied by impaired activation of the transcription factors interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB. The absence of HMGBs also severely impairs the activation of TLR3, TLR7 and TLR9 by their cognate nucleic acids. Our results therefore indicate a hierarchy in the nucleic-acid-mediated activation of immune responses, wherein the selective activation of nucleic-acid-sensing receptors is contingent on the more promiscuous sensing of nucleic acids by HMGBs. These findings may have implications for understanding the evolution of the innate immune system and for the treatment of immunological disorders.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yanai, Hideyuki -- Ban, Tatsuma -- Wang, ZhiChao -- Choi, Myoung Kwon -- Kawamura, Takeshi -- Negishi, Hideo -- Nakasato, Makoto -- Lu, Yan -- Hangai, Sho -- Koshiba, Ryuji -- Savitsky, David -- Ronfani, Lorenza -- Akira, Shizuo -- Bianchi, Marco E -- Honda, Kenya -- Tamura, Tomohiko -- Kodama, Tatsuhiko -- Taniguchi, Tadatsugu -- England -- Nature. 2009 Nov 5;462(7269):99-103. doi: 10.1038/nature08512.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Immunology, Graduate School of Medicine and Faculty of Medicine, University of Tokyo, Hongo 7-3-1, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-0033, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19890330" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Amino-acid imbalance explains extension of lifespan by dietary restriction in Drosophila (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-12-04
    Description: Dietary restriction extends healthy lifespan in diverse organisms and reduces fecundity. It is widely assumed to induce adaptive reallocation of nutrients from reproduction to somatic maintenance, aiding survival of food shortages in nature. If this were the case, long life under dietary restriction and high fecundity under full feeding would be mutually exclusive, through competition for the same limiting nutrients. Here we report a test of this idea in which we identified the nutrients producing the responses of lifespan and fecundity to dietary restriction in Drosophila. Adding essential amino acids to the dietary restriction condition increased fecundity and decreased lifespan, similar to the effects of full feeding, with other nutrients having little or no effect. However, methionine alone was necessary and sufficient to increase fecundity as much as did full feeding, but without reducing lifespan. Reallocation of nutrients therefore does not explain the responses to dietary restriction. Lifespan was decreased by the addition of amino acids, with an interaction between methionine and other essential amino acids having a key role. Hence, an imbalance in dietary amino acids away from the ratio optimal for reproduction shortens lifespan during full feeding and limits fecundity during dietary restriction. Reduced activity of the insulin/insulin-like growth factor signalling pathway extends lifespan in diverse organisms, and we find that it also protects against the shortening of lifespan with full feeding. In other organisms, including mammals, it may be possible to obtain the benefits to lifespan of dietary restriction without incurring a reduction in fecundity, through a suitable balance of nutrients in the diet.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2798000/" 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/PMC2798000/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Grandison, Richard C -- Piper, Matthew D W -- Partridge, Linda -- 081394/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2009 Dec 24;462(7276):1061-4. doi: 10.1038/nature08619.

    Systematic RNA interference reveals that oncogenic KRAS-driven cancers require TBK1 (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-10-23
    Description: The proto-oncogene KRAS is mutated in a wide array of human cancers, most of which are aggressive and respond poorly to standard therapies. Although the identification of specific oncogenes has led to the development of clinically effective, molecularly targeted therapies in some cases, KRAS has remained refractory to this approach. A complementary strategy for targeting KRAS is to identify gene products that, when inhibited, result in cell death only in the presence of an oncogenic allele. Here we have used systematic RNA interference to detect synthetic lethal partners of oncogenic KRAS and found that the non-canonical IkappaB kinase TBK1 was selectively essential in cells that contain mutant KRAS. Suppression of TBK1 induced apoptosis specifically in human cancer cell lines that depend on oncogenic KRAS expression. In these cells, TBK1 activated NF-kappaB anti-apoptotic signals involving c-Rel and BCL-XL (also known as BCL2L1) that were essential for survival, providing mechanistic insights into this synthetic lethal interaction. These observations indicate that TBK1 and NF-kappaB signalling are essential in KRAS mutant tumours, and establish a general approach for the rational identification of co-dependent pathways in cancer.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2783335/" 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/PMC2783335/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Barbie, David A -- Tamayo, Pablo -- Boehm, Jesse S -- Kim, So Young -- Moody, Susan E -- Dunn, Ian F -- Schinzel, Anna C -- Sandy, Peter -- Meylan, Etienne -- Scholl, Claudia -- Frohling, Stefan -- Chan, Edmond M -- Sos, Martin L -- Michel, Kathrin -- Mermel, Craig -- Silver, Serena J -- Weir, Barbara A -- Reiling, Jan H -- Sheng, Qing -- Gupta, Piyush B -- Wadlow, Raymond C -- Le, Hanh -- Hoersch, Sebastian -- Wittner, Ben S -- Ramaswamy, Sridhar -- Livingston, David M -- Sabatini, David M -- Meyerson, Matthew -- Thomas, Roman K -- Lander, Eric S -- Mesirov, Jill P -- Root, David E -- Gilliland, D Gary -- Jacks, Tyler -- Hahn, William C -- R01 CA129105/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA129105-03/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA130988/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA130988-01A2/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R33 CA128625/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R33 CA128625-01A1/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R33 CA128625-02/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- T32 CA009172/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- T32 CA09172-33/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- T32 GM007753/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Nov 5;462(7269):108-12. doi: 10.1038/nature08460.
