    Static Formation and Dissociation of Methane+Methylcyclohexane Hydrate for Gas Hydrate Production and Regasification (2011)
    Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-07-29
    Description: The formation and decomposition of methane+methylcyclohexane (MCH) hydrate in a static batch reactor, which was also designed as a high-pressure microwave reactor, were investigated. The addition of 300 ppm sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) provides continuous formation of CH 4 +MCH hydrate under static conditions. Increasing the initial pressure within the narrow range of 2.7 to 4.6 MPa at 274 K enhances the formation rate by even several times. The gas storage capacity can be largely improved with partial coexisting of sI CH 4 hydrate. Unlike a stirred formation, an increase of nonaqueous MCH inhibits the static formation of sH hydrate. The following regasification by 2.45 GHz microwave heating indicates that the dissociation is rate-controlled by the parallel connection of efficient internal heating and conventional external heating. The multiphase convection characterized by osmotic dehydration and driven by intensified regasification is considered as the dominant mechanism affecting the quiescent dissociation. Enhanced quiescent production and regasification of sH gas hydrate are key aspects for industrial applications of gas hydrate storage and transportation. The decisive factors influencing the static formation and regasification of methane +methyl- cyclohexane hydrate using sodium dodecyl sulfate and 2.45 GHz microwave heating were evaluated. Multiphase convection is considered as the dominant mechanism affecting the quiescent dissociation.

    A cis-regulatory map of the Drosophila genome (2011)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-03-25
    Description: Systematic annotation of gene regulatory elements is a major challenge in genome science. Direct mapping of chromatin modification marks and transcriptional factor binding sites genome-wide has successfully identified specific subtypes of regulatory elements. In Drosophila several pioneering studies have provided genome-wide identification of Polycomb response elements, chromatin states, transcription factor binding sites, RNA polymerase II regulation and insulator elements; however, comprehensive annotation of the regulatory genome remains a significant challenge. Here we describe results from the modENCODE cis-regulatory annotation project. We produced a map of the Drosophila melanogaster regulatory genome on the basis of more than 300 chromatin immunoprecipitation data sets for eight chromatin features, five histone deacetylases and thirty-eight site-specific transcription factors at different stages of development. Using these data we inferred more than 20,000 candidate regulatory elements and validated a subset of predictions for promoters, enhancers and insulators in vivo. We identified also nearly 2,000 genomic regions of dense transcription factor binding associated with chromatin activity and accessibility. We discovered hundreds of new transcription factor co-binding relationships and defined a transcription factor network with over 800 potential regulatory relationships.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3179250/" 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/PMC3179250/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Negre, Nicolas -- Brown, Christopher D -- Ma, Lijia -- Bristow, Christopher Aaron -- Miller, Steven W -- Wagner, Ulrich -- Kheradpour, Pouya -- Eaton, Matthew L -- Loriaux, Paul -- Sealfon, Rachel -- Li, Zirong -- Ishii, Haruhiko -- Spokony, Rebecca F -- Chen, Jia -- Hwang, Lindsay -- Cheng, Chao -- Auburn, Richard P -- Davis, Melissa B -- Domanus, Marc -- Shah, Parantu K -- Morrison, Carolyn A -- Zieba, Jennifer -- Suchy, Sarah -- Senderowicz, Lionel -- Victorsen, Alec -- Bild, Nicholas A -- Grundstad, A Jason -- Hanley, David -- MacAlpine, David M -- Mannervik, Mattias -- Venken, Koen -- Bellen, Hugo -- White, Robert -- Gerstein, Mark -- Russell, Steven -- Grossman, Robert L -- Ren, Bing -- Posakony, James W -- Kellis, Manolis -- White, Kevin P -- F32 GM074364/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- F32 GM074364-01/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- F32 GM074364-02/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P50 GM081892/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG004037/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG004037-04/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- RC2 HG005639/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- RC2 HG005639-02/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U01 HG004264/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U01 HG004279/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U01HG004264/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2011 Mar 24;471(7339):527-31. doi: 10.1038/nature09990.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute for Genomics and Systems Biology, Department of Human Genetics, The University of Chicago, 900 East 57th Street, Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21430782" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    De novo mutations in histone-modifying genes in congenital heart disease (2013)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-05-15
    Description: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most frequent birth defect, affecting 0.8% of live births. Many cases occur sporadically and impair reproductive fitness, suggesting a role for de novo mutations. Here we compare the incidence of de novo mutations in 362 severe CHD cases and 264 controls by analysing exome sequencing of parent-offspring trios. CHD cases show a significant excess of protein-altering de novo mutations in genes expressed in the developing heart, with an odds ratio of 7.5 for damaging (premature termination, frameshift, splice site) mutations. Similar odds ratios are seen across the main classes of severe CHD. We find a marked excess of de novo mutations in genes involved in the production, removal or reading of histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methylation, or ubiquitination of H2BK120, which is required for H3K4 methylation. There are also two de novo mutations in SMAD2, which regulates H3K27 methylation in the embryonic left-right organizer. The combination of both activating (H3K4 methylation) and inactivating (H3K27 methylation) chromatin marks characterizes 'poised' promoters and enhancers, which regulate expression of key developmental genes. These findings implicate de novo point mutations in several hundreds of genes that collectively contribute to approximately 10% of severe CHD.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3706629/" 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/PMC3706629/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zaidi, Samir -- Choi, Murim -- Wakimoto, Hiroko -- Ma, Lijiang -- Jiang, Jianming -- Overton, John D -- Romano-Adesman, Angela -- Bjornson, Robert D -- Breitbart, Roger E -- Brown, Kerry K -- Carriero, Nicholas J -- Cheung, Yee Him -- Deanfield, John -- DePalma, Steve -- Fakhro, Khalid A -- Glessner, Joseph -- Hakonarson, Hakon -- Italia, Michael J -- Kaltman, Jonathan R -- Kaski, Juan -- Kim, Richard -- Kline, Jennie K -- Lee, Teresa -- Leipzig, Jeremy -- Lopez, Alexander -- Mane, Shrikant M -- Mitchell, Laura E -- Newburger, Jane W -- Parfenov, Michael -- Pe'er, Itsik -- Porter, George -- Roberts, Amy E -- Sachidanandam, Ravi -- Sanders, Stephan J -- Seiden, Howard S -- State, Mathew W -- Subramanian, Sailakshmi -- Tikhonova, Irina R -- Wang, Wei -- Warburton, Dorothy -- White, Peter S -- Williams, Ismee A -- Zhao, Hongyu -- Seidman, Jonathan G -- Brueckner, Martina -- Chung, Wendy K -- Gelb, Bruce D -- Goldmuntz, Elizabeth -- Seidman, Christine E -- Lifton, Richard P -- 5U54HG006504/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- F30 HL123238/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- P30 HD018655/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- T32 GM007205/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- U01 HG006546/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U01 HL098123/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- U01 HL098147/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- U01 HL098153/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- U01 HL098162/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- U01 HL098163/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- U01-HL098123/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- U01-HL098147/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- U01-HL098153/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- U01-HL098162/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- U01-HL098163/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- U01-HL098188/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG006504/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2013 Jun 13;498(7453):220-3. doi: 10.1038/nature12141.

    Comparative analysis of regulatory information and circuits across distant species (2014)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-08-29
    Description: Despite the large evolutionary distances between metazoan species, they can show remarkable commonalities in their biology, and this has helped to establish fly and worm as model organisms for human biology. Although studies of individual elements and factors have explored similarities in gene regulation, a large-scale comparative analysis of basic principles of transcriptional regulatory features is lacking. Here we map the genome-wide binding locations of 165 human, 93 worm and 52 fly transcription regulatory factors, generating a total of 1,019 data sets from diverse cell types, developmental stages, or conditions in the three species, of which 498 (48.9%) are presented here for the first time. We find that structural properties of regulatory networks are remarkably conserved and that orthologous regulatory factor families recognize similar binding motifs in vivo and show some similar co-associations. Our results suggest that gene-regulatory properties previously observed for individual factors are general principles of metazoan regulation that are remarkably well-preserved despite extensive functional divergence of individual network connections. The comparative maps of regulatory circuitry provided here will drive an improved understanding of the regulatory underpinnings of model organism biology and how these relate to human biology, development and disease.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4336544/" 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/PMC4336544/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Boyle, Alan P -- Araya, Carlos L -- Brdlik, Cathleen -- Cayting, Philip -- Cheng, Chao -- Cheng, Yong -- Gardner, Kathryn -- Hillier, LaDeana W -- Janette, Judith -- Jiang, Lixia -- Kasper, Dionna -- Kawli, Trupti -- Kheradpour, Pouya -- Kundaje, Anshul -- Li, Jingyi Jessica -- Ma, Lijia -- Niu, Wei -- Rehm, E Jay -- Rozowsky, Joel -- Slattery, Matthew -- Spokony, Rebecca -- Terrell, Robert -- Vafeados, Dionne -- Wang, Daifeng -- Weisdepp, Peter -- Wu, Yi-Chieh -- Xie, Dan -- Yan, Koon-Kiu -- Feingold, Elise A -- Good, Peter J -- Pazin, Michael J -- Huang, Haiyan -- Bickel, Peter J -- Brenner, Steven E -- Reinke, Valerie -- Waterston, Robert H -- Gerstein, Mark -- White, Kevin P -- Kellis, Manolis -- Snyder, Michael -- F32GM101778/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P50GM081892/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG004037/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- RC2HG005679/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U01 HG004267/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U01HG004264/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U01HG004267/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG004558/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG006996/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54HG004558/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54HG006996/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- UL1 TR000430/TR/NCATS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2014 Aug 28;512(7515):453-6. doi: 10.1038/nature13668.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉1] Department of Genetics, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California 94305, USA [2]. ; Department of Genetics, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California 94305, USA. ; Program of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut 06520, USA. ; Department of Genetics, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut 06520, USA. ; Department of Genome Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195, USA. ; Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, USA. ; 1] Department of Computer Science, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305, USA [2] Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, USA. ; 1] Department of Statistics, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720, USA [2] Department of Statistics, University of California, Los Angeles, California 90095, USA. ; Institute for Genomics and Systems Biology, University of Chicago, Chicago, Ilinois 60637, USA. ; National Human Genome Research Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, 20892, USA. ; Department of Statistics, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720, USA. ; 1] Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720, USA [2] Department of Plant and Microbial Biology, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25164757" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Regulatory analysis of the C. elegans genome with spatiotemporal resolution (2014)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-08-29
    Description: Discovering the structure and dynamics of transcriptional regulatory events in the genome with cellular and temporal resolution is crucial to understanding the regulatory underpinnings of development and disease. We determined the genomic distribution of binding sites for 92 transcription factors and regulatory proteins across multiple stages of Caenorhabditis elegans development by performing 241 ChIP-seq (chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing) experiments. Integration of regulatory binding and cellular-resolution expression data produced a spatiotemporally resolved metazoan transcription factor binding map. Using this map, we explore developmental regulatory circuits that encode combinatorial logic at the levels of co-binding and co-expression of transcription factors, characterizing the genomic coverage and clustering of regulatory binding, the binding preferences of, and biological processes regulated by, transcription factors, the global transcription factor co-associations and genomic subdomains that suggest shared patterns of regulation, and identifying key transcription factors and transcription factor co-associations for fate specification of individual lineages and cell types.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4530805/" 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/PMC4530805/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Araya, Carlos L -- Kawli, Trupti -- Kundaje, Anshul -- Jiang, Lixia -- Wu, Beijing -- Vafeados, Dionne -- Terrell, Robert -- Weissdepp, Peter -- Gevirtzman, Louis -- Mace, Daniel -- Niu, Wei -- Boyle, Alan P -- Xie, Dan -- Ma, Lijia -- Murray, John I -- Reinke, Valerie -- Waterston, Robert H -- Snyder, Michael -- R01 GM072675/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- U01 HG004267/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2014 Aug 28;512(7515):400-5. doi: 10.1038/nature13497.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Genetics, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California 94305, USA. ; Department of Computer Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, USA. ; Department of Genome Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195, USA. ; Department of Genetics, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut 06520, USA. ; Institute for Genomics and Systems Biology, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA. ; Department of Genetics, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25164749" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Agonist-bound structure of the human P2Y12 receptor (2014)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-05-03
    Description: The P2Y12 receptor (P2Y12R), one of eight members of the P2YR family expressed in humans, is one of the most prominent clinical drug targets for inhibition of platelet aggregation. Although mutagenesis and modelling studies of the P2Y12R provided useful insights into ligand binding, the agonist and antagonist recognition and function at the P2Y12R remain poorly understood at the molecular level. Here we report the structures of the human P2Y12R in complex with the full agonist 2-methylthio-adenosine-5'-diphosphate (2MeSADP, a close analogue of endogenous agonist ADP) at 2.5 A resolution, and the corresponding ATP derivative 2-methylthio-adenosine-5'-triphosphate (2MeSATP) at 3.1 A resolution. These structures, together with the structure of the P2Y12R with antagonist ethyl 6-(4-((benzylsulfonyl)carbamoyl)piperidin-1-yl)-5-cyano-2-methylnicotinate (AZD1283), reveal striking conformational changes between nucleotide and non-nucleotide ligand complexes in the extracellular regions. Further analysis of these changes provides insight into a distinct ligand binding landscape in the delta-group of class A G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Agonist and non-nucleotide antagonist adopt different orientations in the P2Y12R, with only partially overlapped binding pockets. The agonist-bound P2Y12R structure answers long-standing questions surrounding P2Y12R-agonist recognition, and reveals interactions with several residues that had not been reported to be involved in agonist binding. As a first example, to our knowledge, of a GPCR in which agonist access to the binding pocket requires large-scale rearrangements in the highly malleable extracellular region, the structural and docking studies will therefore provide invaluable insight into the pharmacology and mechanisms of action of agonists and different classes of antagonists for the P2Y12R and potentially for other closely related P2YRs.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4128917/" 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/PMC4128917/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zhang, Jin -- Zhang, Kaihua -- Gao, Zhan-Guo -- Paoletta, Silvia -- Zhang, Dandan -- Han, Gye Won -- Li, Tingting -- Ma, Limin -- Zhang, Wenru -- Muller, Christa E -- Yang, Huaiyu -- Jiang, Hualiang -- Cherezov, Vadim -- Katritch, Vsevolod -- Jacobson, Kenneth A -- Stevens, Raymond C -- Wu, Beili -- Zhao, Qiang -- R01 AI100604/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01AI100604/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U54 GM094618/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- U54GM094618/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- Intramural NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2014 May 1;509(7498):119-22. doi: 10.1038/nature13288.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉1] CAS Key Laboratory of Receptor Research, Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 555 Zuchongzhi Road, Pudong, Shanghai 201203, China [2]. ; Molecular Recognition Section, Laboratory of Bioorganic Chemistry, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20892, USA. ; CAS Key Laboratory of Receptor Research, Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 555 Zuchongzhi Road, Pudong, Shanghai 201203, China. ; Department of Integrative Structural and Computational Biology, The Scripps Research Institute, 10550 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, California 92037, USA. ; PharmaCenter Bonn, University of Bonn, Pharmaceutical Chemistry I, An der Immenburg 4, D-53121 Bonn, Germany. ; Drug Discovery and Design Center, Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 555 Zuchongzhi Road, Pudong, Shanghai 201203, China. ; 1] Department of Integrative Structural and Computational Biology, The Scripps Research Institute, 10550 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, California 92037, USA [2] iHuman Institute, ShanghaiTech University, 99 Haike Road, Pudong, Shanghai 201203, China.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24784220" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Innate lymphoid cells regulate CD4+ T-cell responses to intestinal commensal bacteria (2013)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-05-24
    Description: Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a recently characterized family of immune cells that have critical roles in cytokine-mediated regulation of intestinal epithelial cell barrier integrity. Alterations in ILC responses are associated with multiple chronic human diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease, implicating a role for ILCs in disease pathogenesis. Owing to an inability to target ILCs selectively, experimental studies assessing ILC function have predominantly used mice lacking adaptive immune cells. However, in lymphocyte-sufficient hosts ILCs are vastly outnumbered by CD4(+) T cells, which express similar profiles of effector cytokines. Therefore, the function of ILCs in the presence of adaptive immunity and their potential to influence adaptive immune cell responses remain unknown. To test this, we used genetic or antibody-mediated depletion strategies to target murine ILCs in the presence of an adaptive immune system. We show that loss of retinoic-acid-receptor-related orphan receptor-gammat-positive (RORgammat(+)) ILCs was associated with dysregulated adaptive immune cell responses against commensal bacteria and low-grade systemic inflammation. Remarkably, ILC-mediated regulation of adaptive immune cells occurred independently of interleukin (IL)-17A, IL-22 or IL-23. Genome-wide transcriptional profiling and functional analyses revealed that RORgammat(+) ILCs express major histocompatibility complex class II (MHCII) and can process and present antigen. However, rather than inducing T-cell proliferation, ILCs acted to limit commensal bacteria-specific CD4(+) T-cell responses. Consistent with this, selective deletion of MHCII in murine RORgammat(+) ILCs resulted in dysregulated commensal bacteria-dependent CD4(+) T-cell responses that promoted spontaneous intestinal inflammation. These data identify that ILCs maintain intestinal homeostasis through MHCII-dependent interactions with CD4(+) T cells that limit pathological adaptive immune cell responses to commensal bacteria.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3699860/" 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/PMC3699860/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hepworth, Matthew R -- Monticelli, Laurel A -- Fung, Thomas C -- Ziegler, Carly G K -- Grunberg, Stephanie -- Sinha, Rohini -- Mantegazza, Adriana R -- Ma, Hak-Ling -- Crawford, Alison -- Angelosanto, Jill M -- Wherry, E John -- Koni, Pandelakis A -- Bushman, Frederic D -- Elson, Charles O -- Eberl, Gerard -- Artis, David -- Sonnenberg, Gregory F -- 2-P30 CA016520/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- AI061570/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI074878/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI087990/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI095466/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI095608/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI095776/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI097333/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI102942/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- DK071176/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- DP5 OD012116/OD/NIH HHS/ -- DP5OD012116/OD/NIH HHS/ -- P01 DK071176/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P30 DK050306/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P30DK50306/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI061570/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI074878/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI095466/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI097333/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI102942/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R21 AI083480/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R21 AI087990/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- T32 AI007532/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- T32 AI055428/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- T32-AI055428/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U01 AI095608/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2013 Jun 6;498(7452):113-7. doi: 10.1038/nature12240.

    Identification of genomic alterations in oesophageal squamous cell cancer (2014)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-03-29
    Description: Oesophageal cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers and is the sixth leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Approximately 70% of global oesophageal cancer cases occur in China, with oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) being the histopathological form in the vast majority of cases (〉90%). Currently, there are limited clinical approaches for the early diagnosis and treatment of ESCC, resulting in a 10% five-year survival rate for patients. However, the full repertoire of genomic events leading to the pathogenesis of ESCC remains unclear. Here we describe a comprehensive genomic analysis of 158 ESCC cases, as part of the International Cancer Genome Consortium research project. We conducted whole-genome sequencing in 17 ESCC cases and whole-exome sequencing in 71 cases, of which 53 cases, plus an additional 70 ESCC cases not used in the whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing, were subjected to array comparative genomic hybridization analysis. We identified eight significantly mutated genes, of which six are well known tumour-associated genes (TP53, RB1, CDKN2A, PIK3CA, NOTCH1, NFE2L2), and two have not previously been described in ESCC (ADAM29 and FAM135B). Notably, FAM135B is identified as a novel cancer-implicated gene as assayed for its ability to promote malignancy of ESCC cells. Additionally, MIR548K, a microRNA encoded in the amplified 11q13.3-13.4 region, is characterized as a novel oncogene, and functional assays demonstrate that MIR548K enhances malignant phenotypes of ESCC cells. Moreover, we have found that several important histone regulator genes (MLL2 (also called KMT2D), ASH1L, MLL3 (KMT2C), SETD1B, CREBBP and EP300) are frequently altered in ESCC. Pathway assessment reveals that somatic aberrations are mainly involved in the Wnt, cell cycle and Notch pathways. Genomic analyses suggest that ESCC and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma share some common pathogenic mechanisms, and ESCC development is associated with alcohol drinking. This study has explored novel biological markers and tumorigenic pathways that would greatly improve therapeutic strategies for ESCC.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Song, Yongmei -- Li, Lin -- Ou, Yunwei -- Gao, Zhibo -- Li, Enmin -- Li, Xiangchun -- Zhang, Weimin -- Wang, Jiaqian -- Xu, Liyan -- Zhou, Yong -- Ma, Xiaojuan -- Liu, Lingyan -- Zhao, Zitong -- Huang, Xuanlin -- Fan, Jing -- Dong, Lijia -- Chen, Gang -- Ma, Liying -- Yang, Jie -- Chen, Longyun -- He, Minghui -- Li, Miao -- Zhuang, Xuehan -- Huang, Kai -- Qiu, Kunlong -- Yin, Guangliang -- Guo, Guangwu -- Feng, Qiang -- Chen, Peishan -- Wu, Zhiyong -- Wu, Jianyi -- Ma, Ling -- Zhao, Jinyang -- Luo, Longhai -- Fu, Ming -- Xu, Bainan -- Chen, Bo -- Li, Yingrui -- Tong, Tong -- Wang, Mingrong -- Liu, Zhihua -- Lin, Dongxin -- Zhang, Xiuqing -- Yang, Huanming -- Wang, Jun -- Zhan, Qimin -- England -- Nature. 2014 May 1;509(7498):91-5. doi: 10.1038/nature13176.

    A molecular marker of artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria (2013)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-12-20
    Description: Plasmodium falciparum resistance to artemisinin derivatives in southeast Asia threatens malaria control and elimination activities worldwide. To monitor the spread of artemisinin resistance, a molecular marker is urgently needed. Here, using whole-genome sequencing of an artemisinin-resistant parasite line from Africa and clinical parasite isolates from Cambodia, we associate mutations in the PF3D7_1343700 kelch propeller domain ('K13-propeller') with artemisinin resistance in vitro and in vivo. Mutant K13-propeller alleles cluster in Cambodian provinces where resistance is prevalent, and the increasing frequency of a dominant mutant K13-propeller allele correlates with the recent spread of resistance in western Cambodia. Strong correlations between the presence of a mutant allele, in vitro parasite survival rates and in vivo parasite clearance rates indicate that K13-propeller mutations are important determinants of artemisinin resistance. K13-propeller polymorphism constitutes a useful molecular marker for large-scale surveillance efforts to contain artemisinin resistance in the Greater Mekong Subregion and prevent its global spread.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ariey, Frederic -- Witkowski, Benoit -- Amaratunga, Chanaki -- Beghain, Johann -- Langlois, Anne-Claire -- Khim, Nimol -- Kim, Saorin -- Duru, Valentine -- Bouchier, Christiane -- Ma, Laurence -- Lim, Pharath -- Leang, Rithea -- Duong, Socheat -- Sreng, Sokunthea -- Suon, Seila -- Chuor, Char Meng -- Bout, Denis Mey -- Menard, Sandie -- Rogers, William O -- Genton, Blaise -- Fandeur, Thierry -- Miotto, Olivo -- Ringwald, Pascal -- Le Bras, Jacques -- Berry, Antoine -- Barale, Jean-Christophe -- Fairhurst, Rick M -- Benoit-Vical, Francoise -- Mercereau-Puijalon, Odile -- Menard, Didier -- 090770/Z/09/Z/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 098051/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- G0600718/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- Intramural NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2014 Jan 2;505(7481):50-5. doi: 10.1038/nature12876.

    Producing more grain with lower environmental costs (2014)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-09-05
    Description: Agriculture faces great challenges to ensure global food security by increasing yields while reducing environmental costs. Here we address this challenge by conducting a total of 153 site-year field experiments covering the main agro-ecological areas for rice, wheat and maize production in China. A set of integrated soil-crop system management practices based on a modern understanding of crop ecophysiology and soil biogeochemistry increases average yields for rice, wheat and maize from 7.2 million grams per hectare (Mg ha(-1)), 7.2 Mg ha(-1) and 10.5 Mg ha(-1) to 8.5 Mg ha(-1), 8.9 Mg ha(-1) and 14.2 Mg ha(-1), respectively, without any increase in nitrogen fertilizer. Model simulation and life-cycle assessment show that reactive nitrogen losses and greenhouse gas emissions are reduced substantially by integrated soil-crop system management. If farmers in China could achieve average grain yields equivalent to 80% of this treatment by 2030, over the same planting area as in 2012, total production of rice, wheat and maize in China would be more than enough to meet the demand for direct human consumption and a substantially increased demand for animal feed, while decreasing the environmental costs of intensive agriculture.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chen, Xinping -- Cui, Zhenling -- Fan, Mingsheng -- Vitousek, Peter -- Zhao, Ming -- Ma, Wenqi -- Wang, Zhenlin -- Zhang, Weijian -- Yan, Xiaoyuan -- Yang, Jianchang -- Deng, Xiping -- Gao, Qiang -- Zhang, Qiang -- Guo, Shiwei -- Ren, Jun -- Li, Shiqing -- Ye, Youliang -- Wang, Zhaohui -- Huang, Jianliang -- Tang, Qiyuan -- Sun, Yixiang -- Peng, Xianlong -- Zhang, Jiwang -- He, Mingrong -- Zhu, Yunji -- Xue, Jiquan -- Wang, Guiliang -- Wu, Liang -- An, Ning -- Wu, Liangquan -- Ma, Lin -- Zhang, Weifeng -- Zhang, Fusuo -- England -- Nature. 2014 Oct 23;514(7523):486-9. doi: 10.1038/nature13609.
