    Description: Mice homozygous for a single tyrosine mutation in LAT (linker for activation of T cells) exhibited an early block in T cell maturation but later developed a polyclonal lymphoproliferative disorder and signs of autoimmune disease. T cell antigen receptor (TCR)-induced activation of phospholipase C-gamma1 (PLC-gamma1) and of nuclear factor of activated T cells, calcium influx, interleukin-2 production, and cell death were reduced or abrogated in T cells from LAT mutant mice. In contrast, TCR-induced Erk activation was intact. These results identify a critical role for integrated PLC-gamma1 and Ras-Erk signaling through LAT in T cell development and homeostasis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sommers, Connie L -- Park, Cheung-Seog -- Lee, Jan -- Feng, Chiguang -- Fuller, Claudette L -- Grinberg, Alexander -- Hildebrand, Jay A -- Lacana, Emanuela -- Menon, Rashmi K -- Shores, Elizabeth W -- Samelson, Lawrence E -- Love, Paul E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Jun 14;296(5575):2040-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Cellular and Molecular Biology, Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12065840" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Proteasomes, the primary mediators of ubiquitin-protein conjugate degradation, are regulated through complex and poorly understood mechanisms. Here we show that USP14, a proteasome-associated deubiquitinating enzyme, can inhibit the degradation of ubiquitin-protein conjugates both in vitro and in cells. A catalytically inactive variant of USP14 has reduced inhibitory activity, indicating that inhibition is mediated by trimming of the ubiquitin chain on the substrate. A high-throughput screen identified a selective small-molecule inhibitor of the deubiquitinating activity of human USP14. Treatment of cultured cells with this compound enhanced degradation of several proteasome substrates that have been implicated in neurodegenerative disease. USP14 inhibition accelerated the degradation of oxidized proteins and enhanced resistance to oxidative stress. Enhancement of proteasome activity through inhibition of USP14 may offer a strategy to reduce the levels of aberrant proteins in cells under proteotoxic stress.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2939003/" 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/PMC2939003/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lee, Byung-Hoon -- Lee, Min Jae -- Park, Soyeon -- Oh, Dong-Chan -- Elsasser, Suzanne -- Chen, Ping-Chung -- Gartner, Carlos -- Dimova, Nevena -- Hanna, John -- Gygi, Steven P -- Wilson, Scott M -- King, Randall W -- Finley, Daniel -- DK082906/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- GM65592/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM66492/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- NS047533/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P30 NS057098/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P30 NS057098-049002/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM066492/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM067945/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS047533/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS047533-06A2/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Sep 9;467(7312):179-84. doi: 10.1038/nature09299.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Biology, Harvard Medical School, 240 Longwood Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20829789" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a major global health threat, replicates in macrophages in part by inhibiting phagosome-lysosome fusion, until interferon-gamma (IFNgamma) activates the macrophage to traffic M. tuberculosis to the lysosome. How IFNgamma elicits this effect is unknown, but many studies suggest a role for macroautophagy (herein termed autophagy), a process by which cytoplasmic contents are targeted for lysosomal degradation. The involvement of autophagy has been defined based on studies in cultured cells where M. tuberculosis co-localizes with autophagy factors ATG5, ATG12, ATG16L1, p62, NDP52, BECN1 and LC3 (refs 2-6), stimulation of autophagy increases bacterial killing, and inhibition of autophagy increases bacterial survival. Notably, these studies reveal modest (~1.5-3-fold change) effects on M. tuberculosis replication. By contrast, mice lacking ATG5 in monocyte-derived cells and neutrophils (polymorponuclear cells, PMNs) succumb to M. tuberculosis within 30 days, an extremely severe phenotype similar to mice lacking IFNgamma signalling. Importantly, ATG5 is the only autophagy factor that has been studied during M. tuberculosis infection in vivo and autophagy-independent functions of ATG5 have been described. For this reason, we used a genetic approach to elucidate the role for multiple autophagy-related genes and the requirement for autophagy in resistance to M. tuberculosis infection in vivo. Here we show that, contrary to expectation, autophagic capacity does not correlate with the outcome of M. tuberculosis infection. Instead, ATG5 plays a unique role in protection against M. tuberculosis by preventing PMN-mediated immunopathology. Furthermore, while Atg5 is dispensable in alveolar macrophages during M. tuberculosis infection, loss of Atg5 in PMNs can sensitize mice to M. tuberculosis. These findings shift our understanding of the role of ATG5 during M. tuberculosis infection, reveal new outcomes of ATG5 activity, and shed light on early events in innate immunity that are required to regulate disease pathology and bacterial replication.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kimmey, Jacqueline M -- Huynh, Jeremy P -- Weiss, Leslie A -- Park, Sunmin -- Kambal, Amal -- Debnath, Jayanta -- Virgin, Herbert W -- Stallings, Christina L -- GM007067/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- U19 AI109725/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2015 Dec 24;528(7583):565-9. doi: 10.1038/nature16451.

    Description: Hypercholesterolemia is a risk factor for estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancers and is associated with a decreased response of tumors to endocrine therapies. Here, we show that 27-hydroxycholesterol (27HC), a primary metabolite of cholesterol and an ER and liver X receptor (LXR) ligand, increases ER-dependent growth and LXR-dependent metastasis in mouse models of breast cancer. The effects of cholesterol on tumor pathology required its conversion to 27HC by the cytochrome P450 oxidase CYP27A1 and were attenuated by treatment with CYP27A1 inhibitors. In human breast cancer specimens, CYP27A1 expression levels correlated with tumor grade. In high-grade tumors, both tumor cells and tumor-associated macrophages exhibited high expression levels of the enzyme. Thus, lowering circulating cholesterol levels or interfering with its conversion to 27HC may be a useful strategy to prevent and/or treat breast cancer.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3899689/" 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/PMC3899689/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Nelson, Erik R -- Wardell, Suzanne E -- Jasper, Jeff S -- Park, Sunghee -- Suchindran, Sunil -- Howe, Matthew K -- Carver, Nicole J -- Pillai, Ruchita V -- Sullivan, Patrick M -- Sondhi, Varun -- Umetani, Michihisa -- Geradts, Joseph -- McDonnell, Donald P -- K99CA172357/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R37 DK048807/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R37DK048807/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- T32 CA059365/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Nov 29;342(6162):1094-8. doi: 10.1126/science.1241908.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pharmacology and Cancer Biology, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC 27710, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24288332" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) technology has recently been used to generate animals with a common genetic composition. In this study, we report the derivation of a pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cell line (SCNT-hES-1) from a cloned human blastocyst. The SCNT-hES-1 cells displayed typical ES cell morphology and cell surface markers and were capable of differentiating into embryoid bodies in vitro and of forming teratomas in vivo containing cell derivatives from all three embryonic germ layers in severe combined immunodeficient mice. After continuous proliferation for more than 70 passages, SCNT-hES-1 cells maintained normal karyotypes and were genetically identical to the somatic nuclear donor cells. Although we cannot completely exclude the possibility that the cells had a parthenogenetic origin, imprinting analyses support a SCNT origin of the derived human ES cells.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hwang, Woo Suk -- Ryu, Young June -- Park, Jong Hyuk -- Park, Eul Soon -- Lee, Eu Gene -- Koo, Ja Min -- Jeon, Hyun Yong -- Lee, Byeong Chun -- Kang, Sung Keun -- Kim, Sun Jong -- Ahn, Curie -- Hwang, Jung Hye -- Park, Ky Young -- Cibelli, Jose B -- Moon, Shin Yong -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2004 Mar 12;303(5664):1669-74.

    Description: In the central nervous system, ageing results in a precipitous decline in adult neural stem/progenitor cells and neurogenesis, with concomitant impairments in cognitive functions. Interestingly, such impairments can be ameliorated through systemic perturbations such as exercise. Here, using heterochronic parabiosis we show that blood-borne factors present in the systemic milieu can inhibit or promote adult neurogenesis in an age-dependent fashion in mice. Accordingly, exposing a young mouse to an old systemic environment or to plasma from old mice decreased synaptic plasticity, and impaired contextual fear conditioning and spatial learning and memory. We identify chemokines--including CCL11 (also known as eotaxin)--the plasma levels of which correlate with reduced neurogenesis in heterochronic parabionts and aged mice, and the levels of which are increased in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid of healthy ageing humans. Lastly, increasing peripheral CCL11 chemokine levels in vivo in young mice decreased adult neurogenesis and impaired learning and memory. Together our data indicate that the decline in neurogenesis and cognitive impairments observed during ageing can be in part attributed to changes in blood-borne factors.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3170097/" 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/PMC3170097/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Villeda, Saul A -- Luo, Jian -- Mosher, Kira I -- Zou, Bende -- Britschgi, Markus -- Bieri, Gregor -- Stan, Trisha M -- Fainberg, Nina -- Ding, Zhaoqing -- Eggel, Alexander -- Lucin, Kurt M -- Czirr, Eva -- Park, Jeong-Soo -- Couillard-Despres, Sebastien -- Aigner, Ludwig -- Li, Ge -- Peskind, Elaine R -- Kaye, Jeffrey A -- Quinn, Joseph F -- Galasko, Douglas R -- Xie, Xinmin S -- Rando, Thomas A -- Wyss-Coray, Tony -- 1 F31 AG034045-01/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- 1 F31 NS066676-01A1/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- DP1 OD000392/OD/NIH HHS/ -- DP1 OD000392-01/OD/NIH HHS/ -- DP1 OD000392-02/OD/NIH HHS/ -- DP1 OD000392-03/OD/NIH HHS/ -- DP1 OD000392-04/OD/NIH HHS/ -- DP1 OD000392-05/OD/NIH HHS/ -- F31 AG034045/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- F31 AG034045-01/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- F31 AG034045-02/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- F31 AG034045-03/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- P30AG08017/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- P50 AG005136/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG027505/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG027505-01A1/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG027505-02/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG027505-03/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG027505-04/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG027505-05/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AR056849/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH078194/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01AG027505/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- T32 AI007290/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2011 Aug 31;477(7362):90-4. doi: 10.1038/nature10357.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California 94305, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21886162" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Staphylococcus aureus is considered to be an extracellular pathogen. However, survival of S. aureus within host cells may provide a reservoir relatively protected from antibiotics, thus enabling long-term colonization of the host and explaining clinical failures and relapses after antibiotic therapy. Here we confirm that intracellular reservoirs of S. aureus in mice comprise a virulent subset of bacteria that can establish infection even in the presence of vancomycin, and we introduce a novel therapeutic that effectively kills intracellular S. aureus. This antibody-antibiotic conjugate consists of an anti-S. aureus antibody conjugated to a highly efficacious antibiotic that is activated only after it is released in the proteolytic environment of the phagolysosome. The antibody-antibiotic conjugate is superior to vancomycin for treatment of bacteraemia and provides direct evidence that intracellular S. aureus represents an important component of invasive infections.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lehar, Sophie M -- Pillow, Thomas -- Xu, Min -- Staben, Leanna -- Kajihara, Kimberly K -- Vandlen, Richard -- DePalatis, Laura -- Raab, Helga -- Hazenbos, Wouter L -- Morisaki, J Hiroshi -- Kim, Janice -- Park, Summer -- Darwish, Martine -- Lee, Byoung-Chul -- Hernandez, Hilda -- Loyet, Kelly M -- Lupardus, Patrick -- Fong, Rina -- Yan, Donghong -- Chalouni, Cecile -- Luis, Elizabeth -- Khalfin, Yana -- Plise, Emile -- Cheong, Jonathan -- Lyssikatos, Joseph P -- Strandh, Magnus -- Koefoed, Klaus -- Andersen, Peter S -- Flygare, John A -- Wah Tan, Man -- Brown, Eric J -- Mariathasan, Sanjeev -- England -- Nature. 2015 Nov 19;527(7578):323-8. doi: 10.1038/nature16057.

    Description: A human Wilms tumor cell line (RM1) was developed to test the tumor suppressor activity of WT1, a zinc finger transcription factor that is expressed in the developing human kidney and is mutationally inactivated in a subset of Wilms tumors. Transfection of each of four wild-type WT1 isoforms suppressed the growth of RM1 cells. The endogenous WT1 transcript in these cells was devoid of exon 2 sequences, a splicing alteration that was also detected in varying amounts in all Wilms tumors tested but not in normal kidney. Production of this abnormal transcript, which encodes a functionally altered protein, may represent a distinct mechanism for inactivating WT1 in Wilms tumors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Haber, D A -- Park, S -- Maheswaran, S -- Englert, C -- Re, G G -- Hazen-Martin, D J -- Sens, D A -- Garvin, A J -- CA37887/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA58596/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Dec 24;262(5142):2057-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Molecular Genetics, Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center, Boston 02129.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8266105" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Many signaling, cytoskeletal, and transport proteins have to be localized to the plasma membrane (PM) in order to carry out their function. We surveyed PM-targeting mechanisms by imaging the subcellular localization of 125 fluorescent protein-conjugated Ras, Rab, Arf, and Rho proteins. Out of 48 proteins that were PM-localized, 37 contained clusters of positively charged amino acids. To test whether these polybasic clusters bind negatively charged phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] lipids, we developed a chemical phosphatase activation method to deplete PM PI(4,5)P2. Unexpectedly, proteins with polybasic clusters dissociated from the PM only when both PI(4,5)P2 and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P3] were depleted, arguing that both lipid second messengers jointly regulate PM targeting.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3579512/" 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/PMC3579512/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Heo, Won Do -- Inoue, Takanari -- Park, Wei Sun -- Kim, Man Lyang -- Park, Byung Ouk -- Wandless, Thomas J -- Meyer, Tobias -- R01 GM030179/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM030179-24A1/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM030179-25/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM063702/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH064801/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Dec 1;314(5804):1458-61.

    Description: Defects in clearance of dying cells have been proposed to underlie the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Mice lacking molecules associated with dying cell clearance develop SLE-like disease, and phagocytes from patients with SLE often display defective clearance and increased inflammatory cytokine production when exposed to dying cells in vitro. Previously, we and others described a form of noncanonical autophagy known as LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP), in which phagosomes containing engulfed particles, including dying cells, recruit elements of the autophagy pathway to facilitate maturation of phagosomes and digestion of their contents. Genome-wide association studies have identified polymorphisms in the Atg5 (ref. 8) and possibly Atg7 (ref. 9) genes, involved in both canonical autophagy and LAP, as markers of a predisposition for SLE. Here we describe the consequences of defective LAP in vivo. Mice lacking any of several components of the LAP pathway show increased serum levels of inflammatory cytokines and autoantibodies, glomerular immune complex deposition, and evidence of kidney damage. When dying cells are injected into LAP-deficient mice, they are engulfed but not efficiently degraded and trigger acute elevation of pro-inflammatory cytokines but not anti-inflammatory interleukin (IL)-10. Repeated injection of dying cells into LAP-deficient, but not LAP-sufficient, mice accelerated the development of SLE-like disease, including increased serum levels of autoantibodies. By contrast, mice deficient in genes required for canonical autophagy but not LAP do not display defective dying cell clearance, inflammatory cytokine production, or SLE-like disease, and, like wild-type mice, produce IL-10 in response to dying cells. Therefore, defects in LAP, rather than canonical autophagy, can cause SLE-like phenomena, and may contribute to the pathogenesis of SLE.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4860026/" 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/PMC4860026/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Martinez, Jennifer -- Cunha, Larissa D -- Park, Sunmin -- Yang, Mao -- Lu, Qun -- Orchard, Robert -- Li, Quan-Zhen -- Yan, Mei -- Janke, Laura -- Guy, Cliff -- Linkermann, Andreas -- Virgin, Herbert W -- Green, Douglas R -- 1ZIAES10328601/PHS HHS/ -- R01 AI040646/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI40646/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U19 AI109725/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- ZIA ES103286-01/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2016 May 5;533(7601):115-9. doi: 10.1038/nature17950.
