Abstract

The transcription factors that regulate differentiation into the monocyte subset in bone marrow have not yet been identified. Here we found that the orphan nuclear receptor NR4A1 controlled the differentiation of Ly6C- monocytes. Ly6C- monocytes, which function in a surveillance role in circulation, were absent from Nr4a1-/- mice. Normal numbers of myeloid progenitor cells were present in Nr4a1-/- mice, which indicated that the defect occurred during later stages of monocyte development. The defect was cell intrinsic, as wild-type mice that received bone marrow from Nr4a1-/- mice developed fewer patrolling monocytes than did recipients of wild-type bone marrow. The Ly6C- monocytes remaining in the bone marrow of Nr4a1-/- mice were arrested in S phase of the cell cycle and underwent apoptosis. Thus, NR4A1 functions as a master regulator of the differentiation and survival of 'patrolling' Ly6C- monocytes.

  • Depletion of Ly6Clo monocytes by Nr4a1 deletion corresponded with increased Aβ deposits in cortex and hippocampus.

    “Depletion of these cells by deletion of Nr4a1, a transcription factor controlling the differentiation and survival of Ly6Clo monocytes [144], corresponded with increased Aβ deposits in the cortex and hippocampus [227]”
  • Compared to monocytes, iMGLs express myeloid genes RUNX1, PU.1, and CSF1R but do not express monocyte-specific transcription factors IRF1, KLF4, and NR4A1.

    “When compared to monocytes, iMGLs express the myeloid genes, RUNX1, PU.1, and CSF1R (Figure S3C), but do not express monocyte-specific transcription factors, IRF1, KLF4, NR4A1 (Abdollahi et al., 1991; Hanna et al., 2011; Lavin et al., 2014) (Figure S3D).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
