    Notes: Abstract Experimental infection with enterovirus type 71 (EV71) induced death in neonatal mice in an age- and dose-dependent manner. The mortality rate was 100% following intraperitoneal inoculation 1-day-old ICR mice and this gradually decreased as the age at the time of inoculation increased (60% in 3-day-old mice and no deaths occurred in mice older than 6 days of age). A lethal dose greater than 108 PFU was necessary. Lethargy, failure to gain weight, rear limb tremors and paralysis were observed in the infected mice before death. EV71 was isolated from various tissues of the dead mice. Using a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction technique with a specific primer pair, a 332-bp product was detected in the tissues that produced a culture positive for EV71. Protection against EV71 challenge in neonatal mice was demonstrated following passive transfer of serum from actively immunized adult mice 1 day after inoculation with the virus. Pups from hyperimmune dams were resistant to EV71 challenge. Additionally, maternal immunization with a formalin-inactivated whole-virus vaccine prolonged the survival of pups after EV71 lethal challenge.

    Notes: Abstract The behavior of individaals and their responses to external stimuli are controlled by the microsocial environment, which for most mammals is associated with dominant-subordinate relationships. Physiological and behavioral differences between dominant and subordinate individuals may be ‘primary’ (genetically determined) or ‘secondary’ (due to position in the group's hierarchical structure). A series of experiments was conducted to investigate the physiological (pain response threshold), immunological (thymus, spleen weights, primary immune response), and behavioral (motor activity, behavior in a shuttle box test) characteristics of dominant and subordinate individuals in groups of three laboratory mice formed on the basis of linear hierarchy. Assessment of the effects of group conditions was made using a conditioned reflex location preference test. The results showed: 1) there are no statistically significant differences in physiological and behavioral (except for motor activity) parameters between dominant and subordinate mice; 2) co-housing of dominant and subordinate individuals in groups with stable hierarchical relationships was not aversive for them.

    Description: Mice lacking mCry1 and mCry2 are behaviorally arrhythmic. As shown here, cyclic expression of the clock genes mPer1 and mPer2 (mammalian Period genes 1 and 2) in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and peripheral tissues is abolished and mPer1 and mPer2 mRNA levels are constitutively high. These findings indicate that the biological clock is eliminated in the absence of both mCRY1 and mCRY2 (mammalian cryptochromes 1 and 2) and support the idea that mammalian CRY proteins act in the negative limb of the circadian feedback loop. The mCry double-mutant mice retain the ability to have mPer1 and mPer2 expression induced by a brief light stimulus known to phase-shift the biological clock in wild-type animals. Thus, mCRY1 and mCRY2 are dispensable for light-induced phase shifting of the biological clock.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Okamura, H -- Miyake, S -- Sumi, Y -- Yamaguchi, S -- Yasui, A -- Muijtjens, M -- Hoeijmakers, J H -- van der Horst, G T -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Dec 24;286(5449):2531-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Anatomy and Brain Science, Kobe University School of Medicine, Kobe 650-0017, Japan. okamurah@kobe-u.ac.jp〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10617474" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Angiopoietin-1 (Ang1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are endothelial cell-specific growth factors. Direct comparison of transgenic mice overexpressing these factors in the skin revealed that the VEGF-induced blood vessels were leaky, whereas those induced by Ang1 were nonleaky. Moreover, vessels in Ang1-overexpressing mice were resistant to leaks caused by inflammatory agents. Coexpression of Ang1 and VEGF had an additive effect on angiogenesis but resulted in leakage-resistant vessels typical of Ang1. Ang1 therefore may be useful for reducing microvascular leakage in diseases in which the leakage results from chronic inflammation or elevated VEGF and, in combination with VEGF, for promoting growth of nonleaky vessels.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Thurston, G -- Suri, C -- Smith, K -- McClain, J -- Sato, T N -- Yancopoulos, G D -- McDonald, D M -- HL-24136/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL-59157/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Dec 24;286(5449):2511-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Anatomy and Cardiovascular Research Institute, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94143-0452, USA. gavint@itsa.ucsf.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10617467" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Mutation at the mouse progressive ankylosis (ank) locus causes a generalized, progressive form of arthritis accompanied by mineral deposition, formation of bony outgrowths, and joint destruction. Here, we show that the ank locus encodes a multipass transmembrane protein (ANK) that is expressed in joints and other tissues and controls pyrophosphate levels in cultured cells. A highly conserved gene is present in humans and other vertebrates. These results identify ANK-mediated control of pyrophosphate levels as a possible mechanism regulating tissue calcification and susceptibility to arthritis in higher animals.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ho, A M -- Johnson, M D -- Kingsley, D M -- 5T32GM07365/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Jul 14;289(5477):265-70.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Developmental Biology and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Beckman Center B300, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA 94305-5327, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10894769" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The contribution of extrinsic and genetic mechanisms in determining areas of the mammalian neocortex has been a contested issue. This study analyzes the roles of the regulatory genes Emx2 and Pax6, which are expressed in opposing gradients in the neocortical ventricular zone, in specifying areas. Changes in the patterning of molecular markers and area-specific connections between the cortex and thalamus suggest that arealization of the neocortex is disproportionately altered in Emx2 and Pax6 mutant mice in opposing manners predicted from their countergradients of expression: rostral areas expand and caudal areas contract in Emx2 mutants, whereas the opposite effect is seen in Pax6 mutants. These findings suggest that Emx2 and Pax6 cooperate to regulate arealization of the neocortex and to confer area identity to cortical cells.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bishop, K M -- Goudreau, G -- O'Leary, D D -- NS31558/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Apr 14;288(5464):344-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory, The Salk Institute for Biological Studies, 10010 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10764649" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Most types of antibiotic resistance impose a biological cost on bacterial fitness. These costs can be compensated, usually without loss of resistance, by second-site mutations during the evolution of the resistant bacteria in an experimental host or in a laboratory medium. Different fitness-compensating mutations were selected depending on whether the bacteria evolved through serial passage in mice or in a laboratory medium. This difference in mutation spectra was caused by either a growth condition-specific formation or selection of the compensated mutants. These results suggest that bacterial evolution to reduce the costs of antibiotic resistance can take different trajectories within and outside a host.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bjorkman, J -- Nagaev, I -- Berg, O G -- Hughes, D -- Andersson, D I -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Feb 25;287(5457):1479-82.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Bacteriology, Swedish Institute for Infectious Disease Control, S-171 82 Solna, Sweden.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10688795" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Allergic asthma is caused by the aberrant expansion in the lung of T helper cells that produce type 2 (TH2) cytokines and is characterized by infiltration of eosinophils and bronchial hyperreactivity. This disease is often triggered by mast cells activated by immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergic challenge. Activated mast cells release various chemical mediators, including prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), whose role in allergic asthma has now been investigated by the generation of mice deficient in the PGD receptor (DP). Sensitization and aerosol challenge of the homozygous mutant (DP-/-) mice with ovalbumin (OVA) induced increases in the serum concentration of IgE similar to those in wild-type mice subjected to this model of asthma. However, the concentrations of TH2 cytokines and the extent of lymphocyte accumulation in the lung of OVA-challenged DP-/- mice were greatly reduced compared with those in wild-type animals. Moreover, DP-/- mice showed only marginal infiltration of eosinophils and failed to develop airway hyperreactivity. Thus, PGD2 functions as a mast cell-derived mediator to trigger asthmatic responses.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Matsuoka, T -- Hirata, M -- Tanaka, H -- Takahashi, Y -- Murata, T -- Kabashima, K -- Sugimoto, Y -- Kobayashi, T -- Ushikubi, F -- Aze, Y -- Eguchi, N -- Urade, Y -- Yoshida, N -- Kimura, K -- Mizoguchi, A -- Honda, Y -- Nagai, H -- Narumiya, S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Mar 17;287(5460):2013-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pharmacology, Kyoto University Faculty of Medicine, Kyoto 606-8501, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10720327" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Signaling proteins are thought to be tightly regulated spatially and temporally in order to generate specific and localized effects. For Rac and other small guanosine triphosphatases, binding to guanosine triphosphate leads to interaction with downstream targets and regulates subcellular localization. A method called FLAIR (fluorescence activation indicator for Rho proteins) was developed to quantify the spatio-temporal dynamics of the Rac1 nucleotide state in living cells. FLAIR revealed precise spatial control of growth factor-induced Rac activation, in membrane ruffles and in a gradient of activation at the leading edge of motile cells. FLAIR exemplifies a generally applicable approach for examining spatio-temporal control of protein activity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kraynov, V S -- Chamberlain, C -- Bokoch, G M -- Schwartz, M A -- Slabaugh, S -- Hahn, K M -- AG15430/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- GM39434/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM-57464/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Oct 13;290(5490):333-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Biology, The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11030651" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB by proinflammatory stimuli leads to increased expression of genes involved in inflammation. Activation of NF-kappaB requires the activity of an inhibitor of kappaB (IkappaB)-kinase (IKK) complex containing two kinases (IKKalpha and IKKbeta) and the regulatory protein NEMO (NF-kappaB essential modifier). An amino-terminal alpha-helical region of NEMO associated with a carboxyl-terminal segment of IKKalpha and IKKbeta that we term the NEMO-binding domain (NBD). A cell-permeable NBD peptide blocked association of NEMO with the IKK complex and inhibited cytokine-induced NF-kappaB activation and NF-kappaB-dependent gene expression. The peptide also ameliorated inflammatory responses in two experimental mouse models of acute inflammation. The NBD provides a target for the development of drugs that would block proinflammatory activation of the IKK complex without inhibiting basal NF-kappaB activity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉May, M J -- D'Acquisto, F -- Madge, L A -- Glockner, J -- Pober, J S -- Ghosh, S -- AI 33443/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Sep 1;289(5484):1550-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Section of Immunobiology and Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT 06510, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10968790" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: VDJ recombination is developmentally regulated in vivo by enhancer-dependent changes in the accessibility of chromosomal recombination signal sequences to the recombinase, but the molecular nature of these changes is unknown. Here histone H3 acetylation was measured along versions of a transgenic VDJ recombination reporter and the endogenous T cell receptor alpha/delta locus. Enhancer activity was shown to impart long-range, developmentally regulated changes in H3 acetylation, and H3 acetylation status was tightly linked to VDJ recombination. H3 hyperacetylation is proposed as a molecular mechanism coupling enhancer activity to accessibility for VDJ recombination.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉McMurry, M T -- Krangel, M S -- GM 41052/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Jan 21;287(5452):495-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Immunology, Post Office Box 3010, Duke University Medical Center, Durham NC 27710, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10642553" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Class I major histocompatibility complex (class I MHC) molecules, known to be important for immune responses to antigen, are expressed also by neurons that undergo activity-dependent, long-term structural and synaptic modifications. Here, we show that in mice genetically deficient for cell surface class I MHC or for a class I MHC receptor component, CD3zeta, refinement of connections between retina and central targets during development is incomplete. In the hippocampus of adult mutants, N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-dependent long-term potentiation (LTP) is enhanced, and long-term depression (LTD) is absent. Specific class I MHC messenger RNAs are expressed by distinct mosaics of neurons, reflecting a potential for diverse neuronal functions. These results demonstrate an important role for these molecules in the activity-dependent remodeling and plasticity of connections in the developing and mature mammalian central nervous system (CNS).〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2175035/" 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/PMC2175035/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Huh, G S -- Boulanger, L M -- Du, H -- Riquelme, P A -- Brotz, T M -- Shatz, C J -- 1F32EY07016/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- EY06912/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- F32 EY007016/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- F32 EY007016-02/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- F32 EY007016-03/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- MH48108/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Dec 15;290(5499):2155-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, 220 Longwood Avenue, Boston, MA 02115, USA. gshuh@alum.mit.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11118151" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: To determine the ability of antibodies to provide protection from Ebola viruses, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to the Ebola glycoprotein were generated and evaluated for efficacy. We identified several protective mAbs directed toward five unique epitopes on Ebola glycoprotein. One of the epitopes is conserved among all Ebola viruses that are known to be pathogenic for humans. Some protective mAbs were also effective therapeutically when administered to mice 2 days after exposure to lethal Ebola virus. The identification of protective mAbs has important implications for developing vaccines and therapies for Ebola virus.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wilson, J A -- Hevey, M -- Bakken, R -- Guest, S -- Bray, M -- Schmaljohn, A L -- Hart, M K -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Mar 3;287(5458):1664-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Virology Division, U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, 1425 Porter Street, Fort Detrick, Frederick, MD 21702-5011, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10698744" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Murine T10 and T22 are highly related nonclassical major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class Ib proteins that bind to certain gammadelta T cell receptors (TCRs) in the absence of other components. The crystal structure of T22b at 3.1 angstroms reveals similarities to MHC class I molecules, but one side of the normal peptide-binding groove is severely truncated, which allows direct access to the beta-sheet floor. Potential gammadelta TCR-binding sites can be inferred from functional mapping of T10 and T22 point mutants and allelic variants. Thus, T22 represents an unusual variant of the MHC-like fold and indicates that gammadelta and alphabeta TCRs interact differently with their respective MHC ligands.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wingren, C -- Crowley, M P -- Degano, M -- Chien, Y -- Wilson, I A -- AI33431/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- CA58896/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Jan 14;287(5451):310-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology and the Skaggs Institute for Chemical Biology, The Scripps Research Institute, 10550 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10634787" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) has shown promise in clinical trials for treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Using two mouse models, we show that the therapeutic dose of IL-10 can be reduced by localized delivery of a bacterium genetically engineered to secrete the cytokine. Intragastric administration of IL-10-secreting Lactococcus lactis caused a 50% reduction in colitis in mice treated with dextran sulfate sodium and prevented the onset of colitis in IL-10(-/-) mice. This approach may lead to better methods for cost-effective and long-term management of IBD in humans.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Steidler, L -- Hans, W -- Schotte, L -- Neirynck, S -- Obermeier, F -- Falk, W -- Fiers, W -- Remaut, E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Aug 25;289(5483):1352-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology, Ghent University and Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology, K.

    Description: Caveolae are subcellular structures implicated in the import and transcytosis of macromolecules and in transmembrane signaling. To date, evidence for the existence of caveolae in hematopoietic cells has been ambiguous. Caveolae were detected in the microvilli and intracellular vesicles of cultured mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs). CD48, a receptor for FimH-expressing (type 1 fimbriated) Escherichia coli, was specifically localized to plasmalemmal caveolae in BMMCs. The involvement of caveolae in bacterial entry into BMMCs was indicated because caveolae-disrupting and -usurping agents specifically blocked E. coli entry, and markers of caveolae were actively recruited to sites of bacterial entry. The formation of bacteria-encapsulating caveolar chambers in BMMCs represents a distinct mechanism of microbial entry into phagocytes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shin, J S -- Gao, Z -- Abraham, S N -- AI 35678/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- CA 14236/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- DK 50814/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Aug 4;289(5480):785-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Departments of Pathology and Microbiology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10926542" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Clinicians may soon be able to mount a multipronged attack against cholesterol, the artery-clogging lipid whose buildup in the body is a major contributor to heart attacks and other cardiovascular diseases. In work reported on page 1524, a team has pinpointed a biological master switch in mice that controls three pathways that work together to both rid the body of excess cholesterol and prevent its absorption from the intestine. The work suggests a new mechanism for reducing cholesterol, for example, with drugs that turn up the activity of the master switch, a protein known as the retinoid X receptor.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ferber, D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Sep 1;289(5484):1446-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10991725" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The molecular control of self-renewal and differentiation of stem cells has remained enigmatic. Transgenic loss-of-function and overexpression models now show that the dosage of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), produced by Sertoli cells, regulates cell fate decisions of undifferentiated spermatogonial cells that include the stem cells for spermatogenesis. Gene-targeted mice with one GDNF-null allele show depletion of stem cell reserves, whereas mice overexpressing GDNF show accumulation of undifferentiated spermatogonia. They are unable to respond properly to differentiation signals and undergo apoptosis upon retinoic acid treatment. Nonmetastatic testicular tumors are regularly formed in older GDNF-overexpressing mice. Thus, GDNF contributes to paracrine regulation of spermatogonial self-renewal and differentiation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Meng, X -- Lindahl, M -- Hyvonen, M E -- Parvinen, M -- de Rooij, D G -- Hess, M W -- Raatikainen-Ahokas, A -- Sainio, K -- Rauvala, H -- Lakso, M -- Pichel, J G -- Westphal, H -- Saarma, M -- Sariola, H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Feb 25;287(5457):1489-93.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Research Programs of Developmental Biology, Molecular Neurobiology, Electron Microscopy Unit, Institute of Biotechnology, Viikki Biocenter, Finland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10688798" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Ectodysplasin, a member of the tumor necrosis factor family, is encoded by the anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (EDA) gene. Mutations in EDA give rise to a clinical syndrome characterized by loss of hair, sweat glands, and teeth. EDA-A1 and EDA-A2 are two isoforms of ectodysplasin that differ only by an insertion of two amino acids. This insertion functions to determine receptor binding specificity, such that EDA-A1 binds only the receptor EDAR, whereas EDA-A2 binds only the related, but distinct, X-linked ectodysplasin-A2 receptor (XEDAR). In situ binding and organ culture studies indicate that EDA-A1 and EDA-A2 are differentially expressed and play a role in epidermal morphogenesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yan, M -- Wang, L C -- Hymowitz, S G -- Schilbach, S -- Lee, J -- Goddard, A -- de Vos, A M -- Gao, W Q -- Dixit, V M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Oct 20;290(5491):523-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Oncology, Genentech, 1 DNA Way, South San Francisco, CA 94080, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11039935" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have multiple functions in the developing nervous system. A member of this family, BMP-9, was found to be highly expressed in the embryonic mouse septum and spinal cord, indicating a possible role in regulating the cholinergic phenotype. In cultured neurons, BMP-9 directly induced the expression of the cholinergic gene locus encoding choline acetyltransferase and the vesicular acetylcholine transporter and up-regulated acetylcholine synthesis. The effect was reversed upon withdrawal of BMP-9. Intracerebroventricular injection of BMP-9 increased acetylcholine levels in vivo. Although certain other BMPs also up-regulated the cholinergic phenotype in vitro, they were less effective than BMP-9. These data indicate that BMP-9 is a differentiating factor for cholinergic central nervous system neurons.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lopez-Coviella, I -- Berse, B -- Krauss, R -- Thies, R S -- Blusztajn, J K -- P01 AG09525/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Jul 14;289(5477):313-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Psychiatry and Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA 02118, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10894782" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Stunned myocardium is a syndrome of reversible contractile failure that frequently complicates coronary artery disease. Cardiac excitation is uncoupled from contraction at the level of the myofilaments. Selective proteolysis of the thin filament protein troponin I has been correlated with stunned myocardium. Here, transgenic mice expressing the major degradation product of troponin I (TnI1-193) in the heart were found to develop ventricular dilatation, diminished contractility, and reduced myofilament calcium responsiveness, recapitulating the phenotype of stunned myocardium. Proteolysis of troponin I also occurs in ischemic human cardiac muscle. Thus, troponin I proteolysis underlies the pathogenesis of a common acquired form of heart failure.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Murphy, A M -- Kogler, H -- Georgakopoulos, D -- McDonough, J L -- Kass, D A -- Van Eyk, J E -- Marban, E -- HL 44065/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL 63038/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Jan 21;287(5452):488-91.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pediatrics, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Ross Building 1144, 720 Rutland Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21205, USA. murphy@jhmi.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10642551" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The mechanism underlying the intestinal fluid loss in rotavirus diarrhea, which often afflicts children in developing countries, is not known. One hypothesis is that the rotavirus evokes intestinal fluid and electrolyte secretion by activation of the nervous system in the intestinal wall, the enteric nervous system (ENS). Four different drugs that inhibit ENS functions were used to obtain experimental evidence for this hypothesis in mice in vitro and in vivo. The involvement of the ENS in rotavirus diarrhea indicates potential sites of action for drugs in the treatment of the disease.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lundgren, O -- Peregrin, A T -- Persson, K -- Kordasti, S -- Uhnoo, I -- Svensson, L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Jan 21;287(5452):491-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physiology, Goteborg University, Box 432, S-405 30 Goteborg, Sweden. ove.lundgren@fysiologi.gu.se〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10642552" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: T cell memory depends on factors that regulate expansion and death of these cells after antigenic stimulation. Mice deficient in perforin and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) exhibited increased expansion, altered immunodominance, and decreased death of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells after infection with an attenuated strain of Listeria monocytogenes, which was cleared from these mice. Expansion of CD8+ T cells was controlled by perforin, whereas IFN-gamma regulated immunodominance and the death phase. Thus, perforin and IFN-gamma regulate distinct elements of CD8+ T cell homeostasis independently of their role as antimicrobial effector molecules.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Badovinac, V P -- Tvinnereim, A R -- Harty, J T -- AI36864/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI42767/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- T32AI07511/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Nov 17;290(5495):1354-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology and Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Immunology, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11082062" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Accelerated telomere loss has been proposed to be a factor leading to end-stage organ failure in chronic diseases of high cellular turnover such as liver cirrhosis. To test this hypothesis directly, telomerase-deficient mice, null for the essential telomerase RNA (mTR) gene, were subjected to genetic, surgical, and chemical ablation of the liver. Telomere dysfunction was associated with defects in liver regeneration and accelerated the development of liver cirrhosis in response to chronic liver injury. Adenoviral delivery of mTR into the livers of mTR(-/-) mice with short dysfunctional telomeres restored telomerase activity and telomere function, alleviated cirrhotic pathology, and improved liver function. These studies indicate that telomere dysfunction contributes to chronic diseases of continual cellular loss-replacement and encourage the evaluation of "telomerase therapy" for such diseases.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rudolph, K L -- Chang, S -- Millard, M -- Schreiber-Agus, N -- DePinho, R A -- K08 AG001019/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01HD28317/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01HD34880/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Feb 18;287(5456):1253-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Adult Oncology, Medicine and Genetics, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, 44 Binney Street (M413), and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10678830" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes severe infections, particularly of the lung, that are life threatening. Here, we show that P. aeruginosa infection induces apoptosis of lung epithelial cells by activation of the endogenous CD95/CD95 ligand system. Deficiency of CD95 or CD95 ligand on epithelial cells prevented apoptosis of lung epithelial cells in vivo as well as in vitro. The importance of CD95/CD95 ligand-mediated lung epithelial cell apoptosis was demonstrated by the rapid development of sepsis in CD95- or CD95 ligand-deficient mice, but not in normal mice, after P. aeruginosa infection.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Grassme, H -- Kirschnek, S -- Riethmueller, J -- Riehle, A -- von Kurthy, G -- Lang, F -- Weller, M -- Gulbins, E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Oct 20;290(5491):527-30.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physiology, University of Tuebingen, Gmelinstrasse 5, 72076 Tuebingen, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11039936" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The immunoglobulin A (IgA) is produced to defend mucosal surfaces from environmental organisms, but host defenses against the very heavy load of intestinal commensal microorganisms are poorly understood. The IgA against intestinal commensal bacterial antigens was analyzed; it was not simply "natural antibody" but was specifically induced and responded to antigenic changes within an established gut flora. In contrast to IgA responses against exotoxins, a significant proportion of this specific anti-commensal IgA induction was through a pathway that was independent of T cell help and of follicular lymphoid tissue organization, which may reflect an evolutionarily primitive form of specific immune defense.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Macpherson, A J -- Gatto, D -- Sainsbury, E -- Harriman, G R -- Hengartner, H -- Zinkernagel, R M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Jun 23;288(5474):2222-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute of Experimental Immunology, Universitatsspital, Schmelzbergstrasse 12, CH8091, Zurich, Switzerland. amacpher@pathol.unizh.ch〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10864873" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) is activated when cells are exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. However, the functional consequence of JNK activation in UV-irradiated cells has not been established. It is shown here that JNK is required for UV-induced apoptosis in primary murine embryonic fibroblasts. Fibroblasts with simultaneous targeted disruptions of all the functional Jnk genes were protected against UV-stimulated apoptosis. The absence of JNK caused a defect in the mitochondrial death signaling pathway, including the failure to release cytochrome c. These data indicate that mitochondria are influenced by proapoptotic signal transduction through the JNK pathway.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tournier, C -- Hess, P -- Yang, D D -- Xu, J -- Turner, T K -- Nimnual, A -- Bar-Sagi, D -- Jones, S N -- Flavell, R A -- Davis, R J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 May 5;288(5467):870-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Program in Molecular Medicine, Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, MA 01605, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10797012" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The inadvertent activation of the Abelson tyrosine kinase (Abl) causes chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). A small-molecule inhibitor of Abl (STI-571) is effective in the treatment of CML. We report the crystal structure of the catalytic domain of Abl, complexed to a variant of STI-571. Critical to the binding of STI-571 is the adoption by the kinase of an inactive conformation, in which a centrally located "activation loop" is not phosphorylated. The conformation of this loop is distinct from that in active protein kinases, as well as in the inactive form of the closely related Src kinases. These results suggest that compounds that exploit the distinctive inactivation mechanisms of individual protein kinases can achieve both high affinity and high specificity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schindler, T -- Bornmann, W -- Pellicena, P -- Miller, W T -- Clarkson, B -- Kuriyan, J -- GM29362/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Sep 15;289(5486):1938-42.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratories of Molecular Biophysics and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, The Rockefeller University, 1230 York Avenue, New York, NY 10021, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10988075" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Susceptibility to murine and human insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus correlates strongly with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II I-A or HLA-DQ alleles that lack an aspartic acid at position beta57. I-Ag7 lacks this aspartate and is the only class II allele expressed by the nonobese diabetic mouse. The crystal structure of I-Ag7 was determined at 2.6 angstrom resolution as a complex with a high-affinity peptide from the autoantigen glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) 65. I-Ag7 has a substantially wider peptide-binding groove around beta57, which accounts for distinct peptide preferences compared with other MHC class II alleles. Loss of Asp(beta57) leads to an oxyanion hole in I-Ag7 that can be filled by peptide carboxyl residues or, perhaps, through interaction with the T cell receptor.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Corper, A L -- Stratmann, T -- Apostolopoulos, V -- Scott, C A -- Garcia, K C -- Kang, A S -- Wilson, I A -- Teyton, L -- CA58896/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- DK55037/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Apr 21;288(5465):505-11.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology and Skaggs Institute for Chemical Biology, The Scripps Research Institute, 10550 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10775108" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Dendritic cells (DCs) are critical in both initiating adaptive immune responses and maintaining tolerance to self antigens. These apparently contradictory roles have been suggested to depend on different subsets of DCs that arise from either myeloid or lymphoid hematopoietic origins, respectively. Although DC expression of CD8alpha is attributed to a lymphoid origin, here we show that both CD8alpha+ and CD8alpha- DCs can arise from clonogenic common myeloid progenitors in both thymus and spleen. Thus, expression of CD8alpha is not indicative of a lymphoid origin, and phenotypic and functional differences among DC subsets are likely to reflect maturation status rather than ontogeny.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Traver, D -- Akashi, K -- Manz, M -- Merad, M -- Miyamoto, T -- Engleman, E G -- Weissman, I L -- 5T32 AI-07290/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- CA42551/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Dec 15;290(5499):2152-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11118150" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II) molecules capture peptides within the endocytic pathway to generate T cell receptor (TCR) ligands. Immature dendritic cells (DCs) sequester intact antigens in lysosomes, processing and converting antigens into peptide-MHC II complexes upon induction of DC maturation. The complexes then accumulate in distinctive, nonlysosomal MHC II+ vesicles that appear to migrate to the cell surface. Although the vesicles exclude soluble lysosomal contents and antigen-processing machinery, many contain MHC I and B7 costimulatory molecules. After arrival at the cell surface, the MHC and costimulatory molecules remain clustered. Thus, transport of peptide-MHC II complexes by DCs not only accomplishes transfer from late endocytic compartments to the plasma membrane, but does so in a manner that selectively concentrates TCR ligands and costimulatory molecules for T cell contact.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Turley, S J -- Inaba, K -- Garrett, W S -- Ebersold, M -- Unternaehrer, J -- Steinman, R M -- Mellman, I -- AI-13013/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI-34098/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI-39672/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Apr 21;288(5465):522-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Biology and Section of Immunobiology, Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, Yale University School of Medicine, 333 Cedar Street, Post Office Box 208002, New Haven, CT 06520-8002, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10775112" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: MyoD regulates skeletal muscle differentiation (SMD) and is essential for repair of damaged tissue. The transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) is activated by the cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a mediator of skeletal muscle wasting in cachexia. Here, the role of NF-kappaB in cytokine-induced muscle degeneration was explored. In differentiating C2C12 myocytes, TNF-induced activation of NF-kappaB inhibited SMD by suppressing MyoD mRNA at the posttranscriptional level. In contrast, in differentiated myotubes, TNF plus interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) signaling was required for NF-kappaB-dependent down-regulation of MyoD and dysfunction of skeletal myofibers. MyoD mRNA was also down-regulated by TNF and IFN-gamma expression in mouse muscle in vivo. These data elucidate a possible mechanism that may underlie the skeletal muscle decay in cachexia.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Guttridge, D C -- Mayo, M W -- Madrid, L V -- Wang, C Y -- Baldwin, A S Jr -- AI35098/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- CA72771/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- K01 CA78595/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Sep 29;289(5488):2363-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, Curriculum in Genetics and Molecular Biology, Department of Biology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, Mason Farm Road, Campus Box 7295, Chapel Hill, NC, 27599-7295, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11009425" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Reciprocal gene activation and restriction during cell type differentiation from a common lineage is a hallmark of mammalian organogenesis. A key question, then, is whether a critical transcriptional activator of cell type-specific gene targets can also restrict expression of the same genes in other cell types. Here, we show that whereas the pituitary-specific POU domain factor Pit-1 activates growth hormone gene expression in one cell type, the somatotrope, it restricts its expression from a second cell type, the lactotrope. This distinction depends on a two-base pair spacing in accommodation of the bipartite POU domains on a conserved growth hormone promoter site. The allosteric effect on Pit-1, in combination with other DNA binding factors, results in the recruitment of a corepressor complex, including nuclear receptor corepressor N-CoR, which, unexpectedly, is required for active long-term repression of the growth hormone gene in lactotropes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Scully, K M -- Jacobson, E M -- Jepsen, K -- Lunyak, V -- Viadiu, H -- Carriere, C -- Rose, D W -- Hooshmand, F -- Aggarwal, A K -- Rosenfeld, M G -- R01 DK18477/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 DK54802/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM49327/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Nov 10;290(5494):1127-31.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, School of Medicine, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11073444" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: DARPP-32, a dopamine- and adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-regulated phosphoprotein (32 kilodaltons in size), is an obligate intermediate in progesterone (P)-facilitated sexual receptivity in female rats and mice. The facilitative effect of P on sexual receptivity in female rats was blocked by antisense oligonucleotides to DARPP-32. Homozygous mice carrying a null mutation for the DARPP-32 gene exhibited minimal levels of P-facilitated sexual receptivity when compared to their wild-type littermates. P significantly increased hypothalamic cAMP levels and cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity. These increases were not inhibited by a D1 subclass dopamine receptor antagonist. P also enhanced phosphorylation of DARPP-32 on threonine 34 in the hypothalamus of mice. DARPP-32 activation is thus an obligatory step in progestin receptor regulation of sexual receptivity in rats and mice.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mani, S K -- Fienberg, A A -- O'Callaghan, J P -- Snyder, G L -- Allen, P B -- Dash, P K -- Moore, A N -- Mitchell, A J -- Bibb, J -- Greengard, P -- O'Malley, B W -- MH49662/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH57442/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- NS 35457/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Feb 11;287(5455):1053-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030, USA. smani@bcm.tmc.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10669419" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The ability of morphine to alleviate pain is mediated through a heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein)-coupled heptahelical receptor (GPCR), the mu opioid receptor (muOR). The efficiency of GPCR signaling is tightly regulated and ultimately limited by the coordinated phosphorylation of the receptors by specific GPCR kinases and the subsequent interaction of the phosphorylated receptors with beta-arrestin 1 and beta-arrestin 2. Functional deletion of the beta-arrestin 2 gene in mice resulted in remarkable potentiation and prolongation of the analgesic effect of morphine, suggesting that muOR desensitization was impaired. These results provide evidence in vivo for the physiological importance of beta-arrestin 2 in regulating the function of a specific GPCR, the muOR. Moreover, they suggest that inhibition of beta-arrestin 2 function might lead to enhanced analgesic effectiveness of morphine and provide potential new avenues for the study and treatment of pain, narcotic tolerance, and dependence.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bohn, L M -- Lefkowitz, R J -- Gainetdinov, R R -- Peppel, K -- Caron, M G -- Lin, F T -- F32 DA006023/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- HL16037/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- NS 19576/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Dec 24;286(5449):2495-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute Laboratories, Departments of Cell Biology and Medicine, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10617462" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Because of a critical shortage in suitable organs, many patients with terminal liver disease die each year before liver transplantation can be performed. Transplantation of isolated hepatocytes has been proposed for the temporary metabolic support of patients awaiting liver transplantation or spontaneous reversion of their liver disease. A major limitation of this form of therapy is the present inability to isolate an adequate number of transplantable hepatocytes. A highly differentiated cell line, NKNT-3, was generated by retroviral transfer in normal primary adult human hepatocytes of an immortalizing gene that can be subsequently and completely excised by Cre/Lox site-specific recombination. When transplanted into the spleen of rats under transient immunosuppression, reversibly immortalized NKNT-3 cells provided life-saving metabolic support during acute liver failure induced by 90% hepatectomy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kobayashi, N -- Fujiwara, T -- Westerman, K A -- Inoue, Y -- Sakaguchi, M -- Noguchi, H -- Miyazaki, M -- Cai, J -- Tanaka, N -- Fox, I J -- Leboulch, P -- DK48794/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- HL55435/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Feb 18;287(5456):1258-62.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉First Department of Surgery and Department of Cell Biology, Okayama University Medical School, 2-5-1 Shikata-cho, Okayama 700-8558, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10678831" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: After intravascular delivery of genetically marked adult mouse bone marrow into lethally irradiated normal adult hosts, donor-derived cells expressing neuronal proteins (neuronal phenotypes) developed in the central nervous system. Flow cytometry revealed a population of donor-derived cells in the brain with characteristics distinct from bone marrow. Confocal microscopy of individual cells showed that hundreds of marrow-derived cells in brain sections expressed gene products typical of neurons (NeuN, 200-kilodalton neurofilament, and class III beta-tubulin) and were able to activate the transcription factor cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB). The generation of neuronal phenotypes in the adult brain 1 to 6 months after an adult bone marrow transplant demonstrates a remarkable plasticity of adult tissues with potential clinical applications.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Brazelton, T R -- Rossi, F M -- Keshet, G I -- Blau, H M -- AG09521/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- CA59717/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- HD18179/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Dec 1;290(5497):1775-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Pharmacology, CCSR 4215, 269 Campus Drive, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305-5175, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11099418" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Blood cell production originates from a rare population of multipotent, self-renewing stem cells. A genome-wide gene expression analysis was performed in order to define regulatory pathways in stem cells as well as their global genetic program. Subtracted complementary DNA libraries from highly purified murine fetal liver stem cells were analyzed with bioinformatic and array hybridization strategies. A large percentage of the several thousand gene products that have been characterized correspond to previously undescribed molecules with properties suggestive of regulatory functions. The complete data, available in a biological process-oriented database, represent the molecular phenotype of the hematopoietic stem cell.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Phillips, R L -- Ernst, R E -- Brunk, B -- Ivanova, N -- Mahan, M A -- Deanehan, J K -- Moore, K A -- Overton, G C -- Lemischka, I R -- R01-DK42989/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01-RR04026/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Jun 2;288(5471):1635-40.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10834841" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Sensory axons become functional late in development when Schwann cells (SC) stop proliferating and differentiate into distinct phenotypes. We report that impulse activity in premyelinated axons can inhibit proliferation and differentiation of SCs. This neuron-glial signaling is mediated by adenosine triphosphate acting through P2 receptors on SCs and intracellular signaling pathways involving Ca2+, Ca2+/calmodulin kinase, mitogen-activated protein kinase, cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate response element binding protein, and expression of c-fos and Krox-24. Adenosine triphosphate arrests maturation of SCs in an immature morphological stage and prevents expression of O4, myelin basic protein, and the formation of myelin. Through this mechanism, functional activity in the developing nervous system could delay terminal differentiation of SCs until exposure to appropriate axon-derived signals.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Stevens, B -- Fields, R D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Mar 24;287(5461):2267-71.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Developmental Neurobiology, National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Building 49, Room 5A38, 49 Convent Drive, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10731149" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The hippocampal CA1 region is crucial for converting new memories into long-term memories, a process believed to continue for week(s) after initial learning. By developing an inducible, reversible, and CA1-specific knockout technique, we could switch N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor function off or on in CA1 during the consolidation period. Our data indicate that memory consolidation depends on the reactivation of the NMDA receptor, possibly to reinforce site-specific synaptic modifications to consolidate memory traces. Such a synaptic reinforcement process may also serve as a cellular means by which the new memory is transferred from the hippocampus to the cortex for permanent storage.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shimizu, E -- Tang, Y P -- Rampon, C -- Tsien, J Z -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Nov 10;290(5494):1170-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544-1014, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11073458" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Steroid receptors bind to site-specific response elements in chromatin and modulate gene expression in a hormone-dependent fashion. With the use of a tandem array of mouse mammary tumor virus reporter elements and a form of glucocorticoid receptor labeled with green fluorescent protein, targeting of the receptor to response elements in live mouse cells was observed. Photobleaching experiments provide direct evidence that the hormone-occupied receptor undergoes rapid exchange between chromatin and the nucleoplasmic compartment. Thus, the interaction of regulatory proteins with target sites in chromatin is a more dynamic process than previously believed.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉McNally, J G -- Muller, W G -- Walker, D -- Wolford, R -- Hager, G L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Feb 18;287(5456):1262-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Receptor Biology and Gene Expression, Building 41, Room B602, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD 20892-5055, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10678832" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Tissue degradation by the matrix metalloproteinase gelatinase A is pivotal to inflammation and metastases. Recognizing the catalytic importance of substrate-binding exosites outside the catalytic domain, we screened for extracellular substrates using the gelatinase A hemopexin domain as bait in the yeast two-hybrid system. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-3 (MCP-3) was identified as a physiological substrate of gelatinase A. Cleaved MCP-3 binds to CC-chemokine receptors-1, -2, and -3, but no longer induces calcium fluxes or promotes chemotaxis, and instead acts as a general chemokine antagonist that dampens inflammation. This suggests that matrix metalloproteinases are both effectors and regulators of the inflammatory response.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉McQuibban, G A -- Gong, J H -- Tam, E M -- McCulloch, C A -- Clark-Lewis, I -- Overall, C M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Aug 18;289(5482):1202-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Biomedical Research Centre, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z3, Canada.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10947989" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Complement is a component of natural immunity. Its regulation is needed to protect tissues from inflammation, but mice with a disrupted gene for the complement regulator decay accelerating factor were normal. Mice that were deficient in another murine complement regulator, Crry, were generated to investigate its role in vivo. Survival of Crry-/- embryos was compromised because of complement deposition and concomitant placenta inflammation. Complement activation at the fetomaternal interface caused the fetal loss because breeding to C3-/- mice rescued Crry-/- mice from lethality. Thus, the regulation of complement is critical in fetal control of maternal processes that mediate tissue damage.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Xu, C -- Mao, D -- Holers, V M -- Palanca, B -- Cheng, A M -- Molina, H -- R01 AI40576-01/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI44912-01/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Jan 21;287(5452):498-501.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medicine, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO 63110, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10642554" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The capsaicin (vanilloid) receptor VR1 is a cation channel expressed by primary sensory neurons of the "pain" pathway. Heterologously expressed VR1 can be activated by vanilloid compounds, protons, or heat (〉43 degrees C), but whether this channel contributes to chemical or thermal sensitivity in vivo is not known. Here, we demonstrate that sensory neurons from mice lacking VR1 are severely deficient in their responses to each of these noxious stimuli. VR1-/- mice showed normal responses to noxious mechanical stimuli but exhibited no vanilloid-evoked pain behavior, were impaired in the detection of painful heat, and showed little thermal hypersensitivity in the setting of inflammation. Thus, VR1 is essential for selective modalities of pain sensation and for tissue injury-induced thermal hyperalgesia.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Caterina, M J -- Leffler, A -- Malmberg, A B -- Martin, W J -- Trafton, J -- Petersen-Zeitz, K R -- Koltzenburg, M -- Basbaum, A I -- Julius, D -- NS07265/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Apr 14;288(5464):306-13.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94143-0450, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10764638" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Bone marrow stem cells give rise to a variety of hematopoietic lineages and repopulate the blood throughout adult life. We show that, in a strain of mice incapable of developing cells of the myeloid and lymphoid lineages, transplanted adult bone marrow cells migrated into the brain and differentiated into cells that expressed neuron-specific antigens. These findings raise the possibility that bone marrow-derived cells may provide an alternative source of neurons in patients with neurodegenerative diseases or central nervous system injury.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mezey, E -- Chandross, K J -- Harta, G -- Maki, R A -- McKercher, S R -- AI30656/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Dec 1;290(5497):1779-82.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Basic Neuroscience Program, Laboratory of Developmental Neurogenetics, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA. mezey@codon.nih.gov〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11099419" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Heterozygous mutations encoding abnormal forms of the death receptor Fas dominantly interfere with Fas-induced lymphocyte apoptosis in human autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome. This effect, rather than depending on ligand-induced receptor oligomerization, was found to stem from ligand- independent interaction of wild-type and mutant Fas receptors through a specific region in the extracellular domain. Preassociated Fas complexes were found in living cells by means of fluorescence resonance energy transfer between variants of green fluorescent protein. These results show that formation of preassociated receptor complexes is necessary for Fas signaling and dominant interference in human disease.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Siegel, R M -- Frederiksen, J K -- Zacharias, D A -- Chan, F K -- Johnson, M -- Lynch, D -- Tsien, R Y -- Lenardo, M J -- NS27177/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Jun 30;288(5475):2354-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Immunology, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, 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/10875918" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Inbred strains of mice are largely used to identify the genetic basis of normal and pathological behaviors. This report demonstrates that a moderate period of food shortage, an ecologically common experience, can reverse or abolish strain differences in behavioral responses to the abused psychostimulant amphetamine. The period of food shortage occurred when the animals were mature and was terminated before the administration of amphetamine. Strain differences in behavior appear highly dependent on environmental experiences. Consequently, to identify biological determinants of behavior, an integrated approach considering the interaction between environmental and genetic factors needs to be used.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cabib, S -- Orsini, C -- Le Moal, M -- Piazza, P V -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Jul 21;289(5478):463-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Dipartimento di Psicologia, Universita "La Sapienza" via dei Marsi 78, Roma I-00185, Italy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10903209" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A20 is a cytoplasmic zinc finger protein that inhibits nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) activity and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-mediated programmed cell death (PCD). TNF dramatically increases A20 messenger RNA expression in all tissues. Mice deficient for A20 develop severe inflammation and cachexia, are hypersensitive to both lipopolysaccharide and TNF, and die prematurely. A20-deficient cells fail to terminate TNF-induced NF-kappaB responses. These cells are also more susceptible than control cells to undergo TNF-mediated PCD. Thus, A20 is critical for limiting inflammation by terminating TNF-induced NF-kappaB responses in vivo.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3582399/" 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/PMC3582399/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lee, E G -- Boone, D L -- Chai, S -- Libby, S L -- Chien, M -- Lodolce, J P -- Ma, A -- 5T32GM07183/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 DK052751/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- T32GM07839/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Sep 29;289(5488):2350-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medicine, The University of Chicago, 5841 South Maryland Avenue, MC 6084, Chicago, IL 60637, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11009421" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: To determine why proteasome inhibitors prevent thymocyte death, we examined whether proteasomes degrade anti-apoptotic molecules in cells induced to undergo apoptosis. The c-IAP1 and XIAP inhibitors of apoptosis were selectively lost in glucocorticoid- or etoposide-treated thymocytes in a proteasome-dependent manner before death. IAPs catalyzed their own ubiquitination in vitro, an activity requiring the RING domain. Overexpressed wild-type c-IAP1, but not a RING domain mutant, was spontaneously ubiquitinated and degraded, and stably expressed XIAP lacking the RING domain was relatively resistant to apoptosis-induced degradation and, correspondingly, more effective at preventing apoptosis than wild-type XIAP. Autoubiquitination and degradation of IAPs may be a key event in the apoptotic program.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yang, Y -- Fang, S -- Jensen, J P -- Weissman, A M -- Ashwell, J D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 May 5;288(5467):874-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Immune Cell Biology, Division of Basic Sciences, 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/10797013" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Genetic disorders affecting cellular responses to DNA damage are characterized by high rates of translocations involving antigen receptor loci and increased susceptibility to lymphoid malignancies. We report that the Nijmegen breakage syndrome protein (NBS1) and histone gamma-H2AX, which associate with irradiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), are also found at sites of VDJ (variable, diversity, joining) recombination-induced DSBs. In developing thymocytes, NBS1 and gamma-H2AX form nuclear foci that colocalize with the T cell receptor alpha locus in response to recombination activating gene (RAG) protein-mediated VDJ cleavage. Our results suggest that surveillance of T cell receptor recombination intermediates by NBS1 and gamma-H2AX may be important for preventing oncogenic translocations.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4721589/" 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/PMC4721589/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chen, H T -- Bhandoola, A -- Difilippantonio, M J -- Zhu, J -- Brown, M J -- Tai, X -- Rogakou, E P -- Brotz, T M -- Bonner, W M -- Ried, T -- Nussenzweig, A -- Z99 CA999999/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Dec 8;290(5498):1962-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Experimental Immunology Branch, 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/11110662" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Brucella abortus, a mammalian pathogen, and Rhizobium meliloti, a phylogenetically related plant symbiont, establish chronic infections in their respective hosts. Here a highly conserved B. abortus homolog of the R. meliloti bacA gene, which encodes a putative cytoplasmic membrane transport protein required for symbiosis, was identified. An isogenic B. abortus bacA mutant exhibited decreased survival in macrophages and greatly accelerated clearance from experimentally infected mice compared to the virulent parental strain. Thus, the bacA gene product is critical for the maintenance of two very diverse host-bacterial relationships.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉LeVier, K -- Phillips, R W -- Grippe, V K -- Roop, R M 2nd -- Walker, G C -- GM31030/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Mar 31;287(5462):2492-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10741969" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In scrapie-infected mice, prions are found associated with splenic but not circulating B and T lymphocytes and in the stroma, which contains follicular dendritic cells (FDCs). Formation and maintenance of mature FDCs require the presence of B cells expressing membrane-bound lymphotoxin-alpha/beta. Treatment of mice with soluble lymphotoxin-beta receptor results in the disappearance of mature FDCs from the spleen. We show that this treatment abolishes splenic prion accumulation and retards neuroinvasion after intraperitoneal scrapie inoculation. These data provide evidence that FDCs are the principal sites for prion replication in the spleen.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Montrasio, F -- Frigg, R -- Glatzel, M -- Klein, M A -- Mackay, F -- Aguzzi, A -- Weissmann, C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 May 19;288(5469):1257-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute of Neuropathology, Department of Pathology, University of Zurich, Schmelzbergstrasse 12, CH-8091 Zurich, Switzerland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10818004" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Relative quiescence is a defining characteristic of hematopoietic stem cells, while their progeny have dramatic proliferative ability and inexorably move toward terminal differentiation. The quiescence of stem cells has been conjectured to be of critical biologic importance in protecting the stem cell compartment, which we directly assessed using mice engineered to be deficient in the G1 checkpoint regulator, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, p21cip1/waf1 (p21). In the absence of p21, hematopoietic stem cell proliferation and absolute number were increased under normal homeostatic conditions. Exposing the animals to cell cycle-specific myelotoxic injury resulted in premature death due to hematopoietic cell depletion. Further, self-renewal of primitive cells was impaired in serially transplanted bone marrow from p21-/- mice, leading to hematopoietic failure. Therefore, p21 is the molecular switch governing the entry of stem cells into the cell cycle, and in its absence, increased cell cycling leads to stem cell exhaustion. Under conditions of stress, restricted cell cycling is crucial to prevent premature stem cell depletion and hematopoietic death.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cheng, T -- Rodrigues, N -- Shen, H -- Yang, Y -- Dombkowski, D -- Sykes, M -- Scadden, D T -- AI07387/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- DK50234/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- HL44851/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Mar 10;287(5459):1804-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Experimental Hematology, AIDS Research Center, Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center, Transplantation Biology Research Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10710306" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: T helper 1 (TH1) cells mediate cellular immunity, whereas TH2 cells potentiate antiparasite and humoral immunity. We used a complementary DNA subtraction method, representational display analysis, to show that the small guanosine triphosphatase Rac2 is expressed selectively in murine TH1 cells. Rac induces the interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) promoter through cooperative activation of the nuclear factor kappa B and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways. Tetracycline-regulated transgenic mice expressing constitutively active Rac2 in T cells exhibited enhanced IFN-gamma production. Dominant-negative Rac inhibited IFN-gamma production in murine T cells. Moreover, T cells from Rac2-/- mice showed decreased IFN-gamma production under TH1 conditions in vitro. Thus, Rac2 activates TH1-specific signaling and IFN-gamma gene expression.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Li, B -- Yu, H -- Zheng, W -- Voll, R -- Na, S -- Roberts, A W -- Williams, D A -- Davis, R J -- Ghosh, S -- Flavell, R A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Jun 23;288(5474):2219-22.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Section of Immunobiology and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Yale University School of Medicine, 310 Cedar Street, New Haven, CT 06520-8011, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10864872" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

Using both biochemical and genetic approaches, diabetes researchers have identified multiple intracellular signaling pathways that appear to lie at the heart of this condition, which affects some 250 million people worldwide and is the leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, and amputation among adults. And in the process, they have thrown out much of the dogma of the past 10 years.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Alper, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Jul 7;289(5476):37-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10928926" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Neuronal PAS domain protein 2 (NPAS2) is a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) PAS domain transcription factor expressed in multiple regions of the vertebrate brain. Targeted insertion of a beta-galactosidase reporter gene (lacZ) resulted in the production of an NPAS2-lacZ fusion protein and an altered form of NPAS2 lacking the bHLH domain. The neuroanatomical expression pattern of NPAS2-lacZ was temporally and spatially coincident with formation of the mature frontal association/limbic forebrain pathway. NPAS2-deficient mice were subjected to a series of behavioral tests and were found to exhibit deficits in the long-term memory arm of the cued and contextual fear task. Thus, NPAS2 may serve a dedicated regulatory role in the acquisition of specific types of memory.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Garcia, J A -- Zhang, D -- Estill, S J -- Michnoff, C -- Rutter, J -- Reick, M -- Scott, K -- Diaz-Arrastia, R -- McKnight, S L -- AG12297/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- AG16450/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- NS01763/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Jun 23;288(5474):2226-30.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, 5323 Harry Hines Boulevard, Dallas, TX 75390, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10864874" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Most developing thymocytes undergo apoptosis because they cannot interact productively with molecules encoded by the major histocompatibility complex. Here, we show that mice lacking the orphan nuclear hormone receptor RORgamma lose thymic expression of the anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-xL. RORgamma thus regulates the survival of CD4+8+ thymocytes and may control the temporal window during which thymocytes can undergo positive selection. RORgamma was also required for development of lymph nodes and Peyer's patches, but not splenic follicles. In its absence, there was loss of a population of CD3-CD4+CD45+ cells that normally express RORgamma and that are likely early progenitors of lymphoid organs. Hence, RORgamma has critical functions in T cell repertoire selection and lymphoid organogenesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sun, Z -- Unutmaz, D -- Zou, Y R -- Sunshine, M J -- Pierani, A -- Brenner-Morton, S -- Mebius, R E -- Littman, D R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Jun 30;288(5475):2369-73.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Molecular Pathogenesis Program, Skirball Institute of Biomolecular Medicine and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, New York University School of Medicine, New York, NY 10016, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10875923" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The roles of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and phospholipase C (PLC) in chemoattractant-elicited responses were studied in mice lacking these key enzymes. PI3Kgamma was required for chemoattractant-induced production of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PtdIns (3,4,5)P3] and has an important role in chemoattractant-induced superoxide production and chemotaxis in mouse neutrophils and in production of T cell-independent antigen-specific antibodies composed of the immunoglobulin lambda light chain (TI-IglambdaL). The study of the mice lacking PLC-beta2 and -beta3 revealed that the PLC pathways have an important role in chemoattractant-mediated production of superoxide and regulation of protein kinases, but not chemotaxis. The PLC pathways also appear to inhibit the chemotactic activity induced by certain chemoattractants and to suppress TI-IglambdaL production.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Li, Z -- Jiang, H -- Xie, W -- Zhang, Z -- Smrcka, A V -- Wu, D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Feb 11;287(5455):1046-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pharmacology, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY 14642, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10669417" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The differentiation potential of stem cells in tissues of the adult has been thought to be limited to cell lineages present in the organ from which they were derived, but there is evidence that some stem cells may have a broader differentiation repertoire. We show here that neural stem cells from the adult mouse brain can contribute to the formation of chimeric chick and mouse embryos and give rise to cells of all germ layers. This demonstrates that an adult neural stem cell has a very broad developmental capacity and may potentially be used to generate a variety of cell types for transplantation in different diseases.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Clarke, D L -- Johansson, C B -- Wilbertz, J -- Veress, B -- Nilsson, E -- Karlstrom, H -- Lendahl, U -- Frisen, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Jun 2;288(5471):1660-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Medical Nobel Institute, Stockholm, Sweden.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10834848" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The cellular prion protein PrPc is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored cell-surface protein whose biological function is unclear. We used the murine 1C11 neuronal differentiation model to search for PrPc-dependent signal transduction through antibody-mediated cross-linking. A caveolin-1-dependent coupling of PrPc to the tyrosine kinase Fyn was observed. Clathrin might also contribute to this coupling. The ability of the 1C11 cell line to trigger PrPc-dependent Fyn activation was restricted to its fully differentiated serotonergic or noradrenergic progenies. Moreover, the signaling activity of PrPc occurred mainly at neurites. Thus, PrPc may be a signal transduction protein.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mouillet-Richard, S -- Ermonval, M -- Chebassier, C -- Laplanche, J L -- Lehmann, S -- Launay, J M -- Kellermann, O -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Sep 15;289(5486):1925-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Differenciation Cellulaire, CNRS-Institut Pasteur, 75724 Paris Cedex 15, France. srichard@pasteur.fr〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10988071" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Progesterone regulates reproductive function through two intracellular receptors, progesterone receptor-A (PR-A) and progesterone receptor-B (PR-B), that arise from a single gene and function as transcriptional regulators of progesterone-responsive genes. Although in vitro studies show that PR isoforms can display different transcriptional regulatory activities, their physiological significance is unknown. By selective ablation of PR-A in mice, we show that the PR-B isoform modulates a subset of reproductive functions of progesterone by regulation of a subset of progesterone-responsive target genes. Thus, PR-A and PR-B are functionally distinct mediators of progesterone action in vivo and should provide suitable targets for generation of tissue-selective progestins.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mulac-Jericevic, B -- Mullinax, R A -- DeMayo, F J -- Lydon, J P -- Conneely, O M -- HD32007/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Sep 8;289(5485):1751-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Baylor College of Medicine, One Baylor Plaza, Houston, TX 77030, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10976068" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Bacteria that are engulfed by phagocytic cells of the immune system are usually destroyed once inside the host cell but not always. Why is it that sometimes engulfed bacteria survive and thrive quite happily inside the host cell? As Mulvey and Hultgren explain in their Perspective, the answer may lie in small indentations in the host cell plasma membrane called caveolae that direct certain signal transduction pathways inside the host cell (Shin et al.). If bacteria adhere to regions of the host cell surface that is rich in caveolae, they are better able to survive once inside the cell.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mulvey, M A -- Hultgren, S J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Aug 4;289(5480):732-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Microbiology, Washington University School of Medicine, 660 South Euclid Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63110-1093, USA. mulvey@borcim.wustl.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10950716" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Many apoptotic molecules relocate subcellularly in cells undergoing apoptosis. The pro-apoptotic protein BID underwent posttranslational (rather than classic cotranslational) N-myristoylation when cleavage by caspase 8 caused exposure of a glycine residue. N-myristoylation enabled the targeting of a complex of p7 and myristoylated p15 fragments of BID to artificial membranes bearing the lipid composition of mitochondria, as well as to intact mitochondria. This post-proteolytic N-myristoylation serves as an activating switch, enhancing BID-induced release of cytochrome c and cell death.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zha, J -- Weiler, S -- Oh, K J -- Wei, M C -- Korsmeyer, S J -- CA50239-13/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- K01 CA82231/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- T32 CA72320-01A1/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Dec 1;290(5497):1761-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Departments of Pathology and Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11099414" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Definition of cellular responses to cytokines often involves cross-communication through their respective receptors. Here, signaling by interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) is shown to depend on the IFN-alpha/beta receptor components. Although these IFNs transmit signals through distinct receptor complexes, the IFN-alpha/beta receptor component, IFNAR1, facilitates efficient assembly of IFN-gamma-activated transcription factors. This cross talk is contingent on a constitutive subthreshold IFN-alpha/beta signaling and the association between the two nonligand-binding receptor components, IFNAR1 and IFNGR2, in the caveolar membrane domains. This aspect of signaling cross talk by IFNs may apply to other cytokines.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Takaoka, A -- Mitani, Y -- Suemori, H -- Sato, M -- Yokochi, T -- Noguchi, S -- Tanaka, N -- Taniguchi, T -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Jun 30;288(5475):2357-60.〈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/10875919" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
