Mitochondrial structure and function are highly dynamic, but the potential roles for cell signaling pathways in influencing these properties are not fully understood. Reduced mitochondrial function has been shown to cause cell cycle arrest, and a direct role of signaling pathways in controlling mitochondrial function during development and disease is an active area of investigation. Here, we show that the conserved Yorkie/YAP signaling pathway implicated in the control of organ size also functio ...[more]

Project description:The Hox genes are responsible for generating morphological diversity along the anterior-posterior axis during animal development. The Drosophila Hox gene Ultrabithorax (Ubx), for example, is required for specifying the identity of the third thoracic (T3) segment of the adult, which includes the dorsal haltere, an appendage required for flight, and the ventral T3 leg. Ubx mutants show homeotic transformations of the T3 leg towards the identity of the T2 leg and the haltere towards the wing. All Hox genes, including Ubx, encode homeodomain containing transcription factors, raising the question of what target genes Ubx regulates to generate these adult structures. To address this question, we carried out whole genome ChIP-chip studies to identify all of the Ubx bound regions in the haltere and T3 leg imaginal discs, which are the precursors to these adult structures. In addition, we used ChIP-chip to identify the sites bound by the Hox cofactor, Homothorax (Hth). This is a dataset generated by the Drosophila Regulatory Elements modENCODE Project led by Kevin P. White at the University of Chicago. This dataset was generated in collaboration with Richard S. Mann at Columbia University. It contains ChIP-chip data on Affymetrix Drosophila Tiling 2.0R arrays for multiple transcription factor antibodies in multiple Drosophila tissues.

Project description:The transcription cofactor Yki drives growth and proliferation in part by controlling mitochondrial network formation. To determine if Yki and Sd are directly bound to DNA corresponding to mitochondrial genes, we used chromatin immunoprecipitation and whole genome tiling arrays (ChIP-chip) to identify regions bound by these factors in eye-antenna and wing imaginal discs. The supplementary .bed files contain all Yki or Sd binding sites (called at 5% FDR) in wing or eye-antenna imaginal discs, as well as shared Sd+Yki sites and associated target genes.

Project description:The molecular mechanisms regulating tissue size represent an unsolved puzzle in developmental biology. One signaling pathway controlling growth of the Drosophila wing is Dpp. Dpp promotes growth via repression of the transcription factor Brinker. The transcriptional targets of Brinker that control cell growth and proliferation, however, are not yet fully elucidated. We report here a genome-wide ChIP-seq of endogenous Brinker from wing imaginal discs. We identify the growth regulator Myc as a target of Brinker and show that Myc together with the microRNA bantam explain a large fraction of the growth inhibition caused by Brinker. This work sheds light on the effector mechanisms by which Dpp signaling controls tissue growth. Identification of Brinker binding sites in Wing imaginal discs cells

Project description:Cancer cells have abnormal gene expression patterns, however, the transcription factors and the architecture of the regulatory network that drive cancer specific gene expression profiles is often not known. Here we studied a model of Ras-driven invasive tumorigenesis in Drosophila larval epithelial tissues and combined in vivo genetic analyses with high-throughput sequencing and computational modeling to decipher the regulatory logic of tumor cells. Surprisingly, we discovered that tumor specific gene expression is driven by a highly interconnected network composed of few transcription factors. These are: Stat, Mef2, the AP-4 homolog Cropped, the nuclear receptor Ftz-f1, the bHLH factors Myc and Taiman, and the AP-1 transcription factors Kayak, ATF-3, Pdp1, and dCEBPG. Many of these transcription factors are ectopically expressed and/or hyperactivated in human tumors. The members of this tumor master regulatory network are predicted to directly regulate the majority of the tumor specific gene expression profile. Similar to networks of master regulators that control organ development and cellular differentiation, there is a predicted high degree of co-regulation of target genes, and these network members are required in multiple eptihelia for tumor growth and invasiveness. We further found that Yki/Sd and bZIP/AP-1 factors, the downstream transcription factors of the Hippo and JNK pathways, initiate cellular reprogramming by activating several transcription factors of this network. Thus, modeling regulatory networks identified an ectopic yet highly ordered network of master regulators that control cancer cell specific gene expression.

Project description:Our data on third instar larvae tissues of Drosophila melanogaster has allowed us to identify bsAS, a lncRNA antisense to the blistered/DSRF gene, orthologous to the SRF transcription factor in humans, mainly expressed in fly wings. bsAS controls the expression of different isoforms of the blistered gene in Drosophila tissues. CRISPR-CAS deletion of bsAS Transcription Start Site thoroughly abolishes bsAS transcription, inducing a change in the bs isoform usage and the impairment of wing development. Our data consists on stranded RNA-Seq from eye-antenna, leg and wing imaginal discs from third instar larvae. To analyse bsAS mutation, we also performed stranded RNA-Seq of wild type and bsAS-/- eyes and wings from third instar larvae and late pupae.

Project description:Genomic enhancers regulate spatio-temporal gene expression by recruiting specific combinations of transcription factors (TFs). When TFs are bound to active regulatory regions, they displace canonical nucleosomes, making these regions biochemically detectable as nucleosome-depleted regions or accessible/open chromatin. Here we ask whether open chromatin profiling can be used to identify the entire repertoire of active promoters and enhancers underlying tissue-specific gene expression during normal development and oncogenesis in vivo. To this end, we first compare two different approaches to detect open chromatin in vivo using the Drosophila eye primordium as a model system: FAIRE-seq, based on physical separation of open versus closed chromatin; and ATAC-seq, based on preferential integration of a transposon into open chromatin. We find that both methods reproducibly capture the tissue-specific chromatin activity of regulatory regions, including promoters, enhancers, and insulators. Using both techniques, we screened for regulatory regions that become ectopically active during Ras-dependent oncogenesis, and identified 3778 regions that become (over-)activated during tumor development. Next, we applied motif discovery to search for candidate transcription factors that could bind these regions and identified AP-1 and Stat92E as key regulators. We validated the importance of Stat92E in the development of the tumors by introducing a loss of function Stat92E mutant, which was sufficient to rescue the tumor phenotype. Additionally we tested if the predicted Stat92E responsive regulatory regions are genuine, using ectopic induction of JAK/STAT signaling in developing eye discs, and observed that similar chromatin changes indeed occurred. Finally, we determine that these are functionally significant regulatory changes, as nearby target genes are up- or down-regulated. In conclusion, we show that FAIRE-seq and ATAC-seq based open chromatin profiling, combined with motif discovery, is a straightforward approach to identify functional genomic regulatory regions, master regulators, and gene regulatory networks controlling complex in vivo processes.

Project description:Throughout Metazoa, developmental processes are controlled by a surprisingly limited number of conserved signaling pathways. Precisely how these signaling cassettes were assembled in early animal evolution remains poorly understood, as do the molecular transitions that potentiated the acquisition of their myriad developmental functions. Here we analyze the molecular evolution of the proto-oncogene YAP/Yorkie, a key effector of the Hippo signaling pathway that controls organ size in both Drosophila and mammals. Based on heterologous functional analysis of evolutionarily distant Yap/Yorkie orthologs, we demonstrate that a structurally distinct interaction interface between Yap/Yorkie and its partner TEAD/Scalloped became fixed in the eumetazoan common ancestor. We then combine transcriptional profiling of tissues expressing phylogenetically diverse forms of Yap/Yorkie with ChIP-seq validation in order to identify a common downstream gene expression program underlying the control of tissue growth in Drosophila. Intriguingly, a subset of the newly-identified Yorkie target genes are also induced by Yap in mammalian tissues, thus revealing a conserved Yap-dependent gene expression signature likely to mediate organ size control throughout bilaterian animals. Combined, these experiments provide new mechanistic insights while revealing the ancient evolutionary history of Hippo signaling. We sought to determine Yki and Sd target genes in Drosophila by immunoprecipitation of Yki, sd and RNA polymerase II. Chromatin immunoprecipitation of Yki, sd, and RNA polymerase II from eye disks was performed.

Project description:Cancer is a complex phenomenon involving multiple cellular pathways and processes in various combinations. As a genetic system, Drosophila has contributed much to our understanding of processes that initiate tumorigenesis. However, these are still disparate threads of information and a comprehensive understanding of how these various events and processes come together to bring about tumorous transformation is still wanting. The present study is an attempt to create a comprehensive picture of the dynamic process of epithelial tumour development in imaginal discs using lgl mutants as a model of neoplastic transformation. Experimental Procedure: The experiments were carried out in isogenized w-; lgl4. FRT40A/CyO. Actin –GFP (E Gateff and Schneiderman 1974). Fairly homogenous cultures of flies were added to population cages 2-3 days post eclosion for egg collection. Eggs were collected on yeasted agar plates which were kept in the cages for 1 to 1.5 hours. Plates with eggs were kept at 25 degrees for 21 hours, after which they were gently washed under running water to remove early hatched larvae. The plates were then yeasted again and kept at 25 degrees for another 24 hours to let all the eggs hatch. The food with the 24 hour old larvae was then transferred to large food-grade plastic boxes that had a single cotton plugged hole on the lid to allow for proper ventilation. These boxes also had standard fly food and were well yeasted. The larvae were allowed to grow in these boxes at 25 degrees until the time they were harvested. No other synchronization process was done on these cultures. The boxes containing synchronized larval cultures were washed in gently running water and the water along with the washed off larvae were collected in a beaker. The larvae were allowed to sink to the bottom and the water was decanted off. This was repeated many times till the decanted water was clear of food and other debris. Finally, a 3M solution of NaCl was poured into the beaker. This causes the larvae to float to the surface along with the large pieces of food left over from the water washes. Water was then gently added to the beaker till the concentration of the salt solution was just enough to allow only the larvae to float on the surface while the food pieces sunk to the bottom. At this point, the solution, along with the floating larvae was decanted off through a sieve to collect the larvae. These were then transferred to a glass petri-plate and washed with distilled water to remove all traces of salt solution. The larvae were finally floated in PBS for GFP selection under fluorescence microscope. The selected larvae were transferred to glass cavity blocks rinsed in RNAzap RNAse Inhibitor solution containing RNA-ase free PBS and dissected. For isolating imaginal discs, larvae were cut from the middle with the help of forceps and scissors, and then flipped inside out with needles so that the inner body wall is completely exposed with the imaginal discs attached. Fat bodies and other internal organs were carefully removed with the help of the forceps and needles. The imaginal discs/tumors were dissected out from these flipped larvae, care being taken to remove all traces of fat bodies or other debris from the discs and immediately transferred to RNAse free Microfuge tubes. The tubes were centrifuged briefly to collect the imaginal discs/tumors at the bottom while the PBS was pipetted off. The discs were then resuspended in 150-300 uL of RLT Buffer (Qiagen) in which 1.5-3 uL of Beta-mercaptoethanol was added. The tubes were then vortexed to lyse the cells. This suspension was stored at -40 degrees until RNA preparation. Total RNA was prepared from the lysed wing discs/tumors suspended in the guanidine thiocynate containing Lysis Buffer (RLT) supplied with the RNeasy Mini Kit and 14.3M beta-Mercaptoethanol using the ethanol precipitation/column filtration protocol recommended for the RNeasy Mini Kit by the Manufacturer. The purified total RNA was quantified and its quality checked by spectrophotometry and Agarose Gel electrophoresis respectively. Total RNA from 30-50 pairs of imaginal discs/tumors were used to make a single sample depending on the tumor stage with RNA yields typically ranging from 10 ug to 15 ug. Purified total RNA passing the quality controls were immediately used for labeling and hybridization reactions. The total RNA was processed and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Drosophila Whole Genome 2.0 arrays using the manufacturer’s protocol, and the arrays were scanned immediately after hybridization.
