STAT3信号作用的破坏促进由KRAS诱导的肺肿瘤发生 OPEN
Beatrice Grabner, Daniel Schramek, Kristina M. Mueller, Herwig P. Moll, Jasmin Svinka, Thomas Hoffmann, Eva Bauer, Leander Blaas, Natascha Hruschka, Katalin Zboray, Patricia Stiedl, Harini Nivarthi, Edith Bogner, Wolfgang Gruber, Thomas Mohr, Ralf Harun Zwick, Lukas Kenner, Valeria Poli, Fritz Aberger, Dagmar Stoiber et al.
STAT3 is an intracellular transducer of cytokine signals that cooperates with Ras in tumour formation and is often activated in lung cancer. Here the authors show that STAT3 acts as a tumour suppressor in a mouse model of Kras-driven lung adenocarcinoma.

一种金属富勒烯的分子磁开关 OPEN
Bo Wu, Taishan Wang, Yongqiang Feng, Zhuxia Zhang, Li Jiang and Chunru Wang
Endohedral fullerenes are known to stabilize reactive radicals; however, the external magnetic manipulation of these species’ remains challenging. Here, the authors link a nitroxide radical to a paramagnetic fullerene system and are able to alter the spin behaviour of the fullerene via spin–spin interactions.

Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is a key regulator of endocannabinoid signalling. Here, the authors develop a knock-in mouse that recapitulates a common human mutation in the FAAH gene and demonstrate parallel neural and behavioural alterations across species, suggesting a gain-of-function in fear regulation.

Avijit Dutta, Ching-Tai Huang, Tse-Ching Chen, Chun-Yen Lin, Cheng-Hsun Chiu, Yung-Chang Lin, Chia-Shiang Chang and Yueh-Chia He
The role of IL-10 in influenza infection is controversial. Here the authors show that early during infection, IL-10 promotes Th1 immunity by inhibiting viral neuraminidase-mediated release of TGF-β, but later acts as an immunosuppressive cytokine to inhibit immunopathology and promote recovery.

Insights into Late-Pleistocene Northern Hemisphere storm track variability are hampered by a lack of well-dated proxy records. Here, the authors present a precisely dated record of meteoric precipitation between 30 and 14.7 ka, and show that obliquity may have played a vital role in Alpine glacier advance.

Duygu Sag, Caglar Cekic, Runpei Wu, Joel Linden and Catherine C. Hedrick
ABCG1 transporter pumps cholesterol out of the cell. Here, the authors show that ABCG1-deficient mice have reduced tumour growth due to a switch of the tumour-associated macrophages from a tumour-promoting to tumour-suppressing phenotype, and are protected from the pro-tumorigenic effects of a Western-like diet.

The need to develop vaccines against pathogens such as HIV requires the development of strategies to overcome inhibitory immunoregulatory mechanisms. Here, the authors report that murine natural killer cells inhibit CD4- and follicular helper T cells, leading to a weaker germinal center response and diminished virus-specific immune memory.

Saed Mohebi, Ken’Ichi Mizuno, Adam Watson, Antony M. Carr and Johanne M. Murray
Homologous recombination can overcome replication fork inactivation, but this can cause gross chromosomal rearrangements. Here, the authors show that DNA damage and intra-S phase checkpoints are blind to chromosome rearrangement in the first cell cycle, and are only induced in the second cell cycle.

Suppression of MutS HOMOLOGUE 1 (MSH1), a plant protein targeted to mitochondria and plastids, causes a variety of phenotypes. Here Virdi et al. show that MSH1 depletion in Arabidopsis results in heritable changes in nuclear DNA methylation, which can lead to enhanced growth vigour.

Malone, François Pralong, Gabriella Cagnoni, Roberta Schellino, Silvia De Marchis, Massimiliano Mazzone, R. Jeroen Pasterkamp, Luca Tamagnone, Vincent Prevot and Paolo Giacobini
Reproduction in mammals is dependent on the function of specific neurons that secrete gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and project their axons to the median eminence (ME) of the hypothalamus. Here the authors show that Semaphorin7A signaling plays a role in mediating the plasticity of GnRH axon terminals and tanycytes in the ME.

Little is known about certain bacterial phyla because of our current inability to grow them in the lab. Here, Luef et al. combine metagenomics and ultrastuctural analyses to show that some of these bacteria have a very small cell size, tightly packed DNA, few ribosomes and diverse pili-like structures.
