1 18068529 To determine ancestral allele in possible cancer-associated polymorphisms, DNA samples from 10 chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) were sequenced for alleles corresponding to 17 polymorphisms: 8 short tandem repeats [IL1RN (alias IL-1RA) variable number tandem repeat (VNTR); TYMS (previously TS) VNTR; AR CAG repeat; dinucleotide repeats of UGT1A1, IGF1, IFNG (alias IFN-gamma), ESR1 (alias ER-alpha), and EGFR] and 9 single nucleotide polymorphisms (MMP1-1607 1G/2G, MMP3-1171 5A/6A, OGG1 Ser326Cys, ALDH2 Gly487Lys, TP53 Arg72Pro, ABCG2 Gln141Lys, MGMT Leu84Phe, SOD2 Ala-9Val, and MTHFR Ala222Val).
2 18068529 Dinucleotide repeat polymorphisms of IGF1, IFNG, ESR1, and EGFR were shared by chimpanzees, but the length of repeats tended to be longer in humans than in chimpanzees.
3 18068529 Thus, all of the possible cancer-associated polymorphisms tested have human-specific alleles, and the ancestral allele is lost in three polymorphisms (IL1RN VNTR, UGT1A1 CA repeat, and MMP3-1171 5A/6A), suggesting a possible involvement of human-specific alleles in cancer susceptibility.

7 19689734 A continuous T-bet expression is required to silence the interleukin-4-producing potential in T helper type 1 cells.
8 19689734 To develop into committed T helper type 1 (Th1) cells, naive CD4(+) T cells not only need to acquire the capacity to produce interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), but they also need to gain the ability to silence their interleukin-4 (IL-4) -producing potential.
9 19689734 We found that a lack of IL-4 stimulation was not sufficient to silence the IL-4-producing potential in activated CD4(+) T cells and that Th1-promoting factor was required.
10 19689734 Although it has been shown that T-bet is a crucial factor in suppressing Il4 gene expression, it is unclear whether a continuous presence of T-bet is required to silence the Il4 gene in Th1 cells.
11 19689734 To address this problem, we used an inducible form of T-bet - a T-bet-oestrogen receptor fusion molecule (T-bet-ER).
12 19689734 We found that the activation of T-bet during primary or secondary culture was sufficient to silence IL-4-producing potential.
13 19689734 On the other hand, the inactivation of T-bet after naïve CD4(+) T cells had differentiated into Th1 cells resulted in derepression of Il4 gene transcription.
14 19689734 Additionally, we found that T-bet is required to maintain Ifng expression.
15 19689734 Our data demonstrate that the continuous expression of T-bet is required for Th1 cells to silence their IL-4-producing potential.
