Abstract 要求简洁,连贯 n9ej7oj
The acquisition of metastatic ability by tumor cells is considered a late event in the M!D3 }JRm
evolution of malignant tumors. We report that untransformed mouse mammary cells that .|i.Cq8
have been engineered to express the inducible oncogenic transgenes MYC and KrasD12, or Ean5b>\
polyoma middle T, and introduced into the systemic circulation of a mouse can bypass B*Dz{a^.:
transformation at the primary site and develop into metastatic pulmonary lesions upon G3AesTT|
immediate or delayed oncogene induction. Therefore, previously untransformed @Z:l62l=bE
mammary cells may establish residence in the lung once they have entered the tW}'g:s
bloodstream and may assume malignant growth upon oncogene activation. Mammary F0Yd@Lk$_
cells lacking oncogenic transgenes displayed a similar capacity for long-term residence in "'?>fe\qG
the lungs but did not form ectopic tumors. f\L0xJ
Almost two decades after CFTR was identified as the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis ^RIl
(CF), we still lack answers to many questions about the pathogenesis of the disease, and it <bEbweQrgm
remains incurable. Mice with a disrupted CFTR gene have greatly facilitated CF studies, D_zZXbNc
but the mutant mice do not develop the characteristic manifestations of human CF, f
x+/C8GK
including abnormalities of the pancreas, lung, intestine, liver, and other organs. Because 1\I}2;
pigs share many anatomical and physiological features with humans, we generated pigs hZt!/?dc
with a targeted disruption of both CFTR alleles. Newborn pigs lacking CFTR exhibited 1tFNM[R
defective chloride transport and developed meconium ileus, exocrine pancreatic 89(Q1R ?:
destruction, and focal biliary cirrhosis, replicating abnormalities seen in newborn humans d5:c^`
3 m^;f(IK5
with CF. The pig model may provide opportunities to address persistent questions about }b.%Im<3R
CF pathogenesis and accelerate discovery of strategies for prevention and treatment. n,WqyNt*

Combinatorial assembly of leucine-rich repeat (LRR) gene segments achieves the

required repertoire for antigen recognition. We have determined a crystal structure for a "@2-Zdrr1<
VLR-antigen complex, VLR RBC36 in complex with the H-antigen trisaccharide from 2`=7_v
human blood type O erythrocytes, at 1.67 angstrom resolution. RBC36 binds the v):Or'$~M
H-trisaccharide on the concave surface of the LRR modules of the solenoid structure WNrk}LFof
where three key hydrophilic residues, multiple van der Waals interactions, and the highly E+;7>ja
variable insert of the carboxyl-terminal LRR module determine antigen recognition and >tW#/\x{
specificity. The concave surface assembled from the most highly variable regions of the &0JI!bR(
LRRs, along with diversity in the sequence and length of the highly variable insert, can U&p${IcEm
account for the recognition of diverse antigens by VLRs. BLD gt~h#
