The microRNA regulatory network in normal- and HTLV-1-transformed T cells.
No full textRecent efforts to understand the molecular networks governing normal T cell development and driving the neoplastic transformation of T cells have brought to light the involvement of microRNAs (miRNAs), a class of noncoding RNAs of approximately 22 nucleotides that regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level. In the present review, we compare the expression profiles of miRNAs in normal T cell development to that of transformed T cells using as a model adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma, an aggressive malignancy of mature CD4. + T cells that is caused by infection with human T cell leukemia virus type 1. © 2012 Elsevier Inc

Distribution. Japan (Honshu). Etymology. The specific name is from the type locality “ Japan ”. Bionomics. Host is unknown. Adult wasps were collected from late May to July. Remarks. This species closely resembles P. qinyuanensis, but it can be distinguished from the following combination of character states (male of P. qinyuanensis is unknown): lateromedian longitudinal carina of propodeum completely parallel, not convergent anteriorly (almost parallel but slightly convergent anteriorly in P. qinyuanensis); malar space 0.6 times as long as basal width of mandible (0.5 times in P. qinyuanensis); antenna with 28–29 flagellomeres (30–34 in P. qinyuanensis); hind femur black, rarely tinged with red (largely red in P. qinyuanensis); hind tibia yellowish-brown basally, black apically (entirely black in P. qinyuanensis). Hind femur of a single female collected Biwakubo-sawa, Yamanashi Pref., with a reddish-brown area medially, while other character states of this specimen are well accorded with the character states of P. japonicum. Thus I conclude that it is unusual intraspecific variation. The World species of Pion may be distinguished by the following key.Published as part of Watanabe, Kyohei, 2016, First record of the genus Pion Schiødte, 1839 (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Ctenopelmatinae), from Japan, with description of a new species, pp. 289-294 in Zootaxa 4103 (3) on pages 290-293, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4103.3.8, http://zenodo.org/record/26383
