Project description:The ability to reprogram differentiated cells into a pluripotent state has revealed that the differentiated state is plastic and reversible. It is evident, therefore, that mechanisms must be in place to maintain cells in a differentiated state. Transcription factors that specify neuronal characteristics have been well studied but less is known about the mechanisms that prevent neurons from dedifferentiating to a multipotent, stem cell-like state. Here we identify Lola as a transcription factor that is required to maintain neurons in a differentiated state. We show that Lola represses neural stem cell genes and cell cycle genes in post-mitotic neurons. In lola mutants, neurons dedifferentiate, turn on neural stem cell genes and begin to divide, forming tumours. Thus, neurons rather than stem cells or intermediate progenitors are the tumour-initiating cells in lola mutants. 3 biological relicates were performed for Lola-N (with one dye-swap).

Project description:Tissue stem cells divide asymmetrically to self-renew and generate differentiated progeny to maintain tissue homeostasis. Escargot (Esg) is a transcriptional repressor that is expressed in multiple stem cell populations in Drosophila melanogaster. Reduced esg function in intestinal stem cells (ISCs) causes a loss of ISCs and a biased differentiation of the daughter enteroblasts (EBs) toward the enteroendocrine (EE) cell fate. Loss of esg leads to an upregulation of differentiation factors and reduced Notch activity within EBs, indicating that Esg is a pivotal regulator of homeostasis in the intestine, supporting self-renewal to maintain a healthy stem cell pool as well as differentiation of progenitor cells. To identify potential transcriptional targets that mediate these phenotypes, in vivo DamID was used to generate the data deposited herein.

Project description:Purpose: We isolated Drosophila midgut cells : Delta+ intestinal stem cells (ISCs), Su(H)+enteroblasts (EBs), Esg+ cells (ISC+EB), Myo1A+Enterocytes (ECs), Pros+Enteroendocrine cells (EEs) and How+Visceral muscle cells (VM) from whole midguts to identify stem cell specific genes and study cell type specificities of midgut cells. We also isolated all the cell types from the 5 major regions (R1-R5) of the Drosophila midgut to study differences in cells in different regions. Methods: 3-7 day old female flies were dissected. Flies with GFP/YFP marking different cell types (using the GAL4-UAS system) were used to separate cells of the midgut.The midguts were dissociated with Elastase and FACS sorted using FACS AriaIII. RNA was extracted, amplified and sequenced. Whole midgut samples were sequenced on Illumina GAIIX and regional cell populations were sequenced on HiSeq2000. Methods:Raw fastqc reads were mapped to the Drosophila genome (Drosophila_melanogaster.BDGP5.70.dna.toplevel.fa) using Tophat 2.0.9 at default (using boost_1_54_0, bowtie2-2.1.0, samtools-0.1.19). Methods: For differential expression analysis, DESeq (p-value adjustment 0.05 by method Benjamini-Hochberg) was used. The reads were normalized also to Reads per kilobase of transcript per million mapped reads (RPKM). Results: More than 50% of the genome is expressed in the adult midgut (FlyAtlas- Chintapalli et al., 2007), of these genes about 50% (2457) were differentially expressed (DE) between all 4 cell types (ISCs, EBs, ECs and EEs) atleast 2 folds with 95% confidence Results: 159 genes that were specifically enriched in ISCs, 509 genes were specifically repressed in ISCs Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of Drosophila intestinal cell transcriptomes, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology.Our data facilitates comparative investigations of expression profiles of cells and reveals novel stem cell genes. Further region specific profiling adds precision to the analysis of variances in the midgut regions. We identify transcriptional regulators and regional transcription factors which modulate the midgut physiology. The dataset will be a great resource for hypothesis generation, tool building and fine tuned studies on the Drosophila midgut. mRNA profiles of Drosophila intestinal cells from whole midguts and midgut regions were generated by Deep Sequencing. Whole midgut profiles were generated in triplicates (Illumina GAIIx, 72 bp read length) and regional cell type profiles were genrated in duplicates (HiSeq 2000, 50bp read length).

Project description:While developmental processes such as axon pathfinding and synapse formation have been characterized in detail, comparatively less is known of the intrinsic developmental mechanisms that regulate transcription of ion channel genes in embryonic neurons. Early decisions, including motoneuron axon targeting, are orchestrated by a cohort of transcription factors that act together in a combinatorial manner. These transcription factors include Even-skipped (Eve), Islet, Lim3 and Hb9. The perdurance of these factors in late embryonic neurons is, however, indicative that they might also regulate additional aspects of neuron development, including the acquisition of electrical properties. We have shown that Eve binds and regulates both voltage- and ligand-gated currents in motoneurons (Pym et al., 2006). We have also shown that Islet is sufficient to repress a Shaker-mediated A-type K(+) current, most likely due to a direct transcriptional effect (Wolfram et al., 2012). Finally, we have shown that Islet and Lim3 act in a combinatorial fashion to regulate Shaker-mediated A-type K(+) current (Wolfram et al., 2014). 3 biological relicates were performed for Islet, Lim3 and Hb9 (with one dye-swap). 2 biological relicates were performed for Eve.

Project description:Paper abstract: Neural stem cells must strike a balance between self-renewal and multipotency, and differentiation. Identification of the transcriptional networks regulating stem cell division is an essential step in understanding how this balance is achieved. We have shown that the homeodomain transcription factor, Prospero, acts to repress self-renewal and promote differentiation. Amongst its targets are three neural stem cell transcription factors, Asense, Deadpan and Snail, of which Asense and Deadpan are repressed by Prospero. Here we identify the targets of these three factors throughout the genome. We find a large overlap in their target genes, and indeed with the targets of Prospero, with 245 genomic loci bound by all factors. Many of the genes have been implicated in vertebrate stem cell self-renewal, suggesting that this core set of genes is crucial in the switch between self-renewal and differentiation. We also show that multiply bound loci are enriched for genes previously linked to nervous system phenotypes, thereby providing a short-cut to identifying genes important for nervous system development. Each Dam-fusion-derived sample is compared to a control Dam-only sample. Four biological replicates were performed for Prospero (with 2 dye-swaps). For Asense, Deadpan and Snail, two biological replicates were performed.

Project description:Shavenbaby (Svb) transcription factor is involved in the homeostasis of intestinal stem cells (ISCs), and the differentiation of their enteroblast progeny (EB) into enterocytes (EC). Svb is produced as a long repressor protein called SvbRepressor (SvbREP). In presence of Pri peptides SvbREP is processed into a shorter activator form (SvbACT) through partial proteasomal degradation of the REP domain. In ISCs/EBs, Pri triggers SvbREP to ACT maturation, while SvbREP form accumulates in differentiated enterocytes. The absence of Svb promote the apoptosis of the intestinal stem cells. In ISCs/EBs, the ectopic expression of SvbREP form promotes the differentiation and the overexpression of SvbACT promotes hyperplasia. (Al Hayek, et al 2020) Based on these functional analyses, Svb appears to control ISC/EB survival and behavior, balancing proliferation and differentiation through a molecular switch between its 2 antagonistic isoforms. In this study, we determine the Svb target genes in different cell types along the intestinal cell lineage. This particular metadata sheet refers to early enterocytes (mEC) transcriptomic data (RNAseq) in control condition and upon modulation of Svb function.

Project description:Developmental abnormalities observed in Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) have been genetically linked to mutations in the cohesin machinery. These findings raise the possibility that cohesin, in addition to its canonical function of mediating sister chromatid cohesion, might also be involved in regulating gene expression. We report that cleavage of cohesin’s kleisin subunit in post-mitotic Drosophila salivary glands induces major changes (both up and down) in the transcript levels of many genes. Kinetic analyses of changes in transcript levels upon cohesin cleavage reveal that a subset of genes responds to cohesin cleavage within a few hours. In addition, cohesin binds to most of these loci, suggesting that cohesin is directly regulating their expression. Amongst these genes are several that are regulated by the steroid hormone Ecdysone. Transcripts at EcR and Eip74EF, which encode an Ecdysone Receptor and an Ecdysone-regulated transcription factor, respectively, decline ten-fold within four hours of cohesin cleavage. Cytological visualization of transcription at selected Ecdysone-responsive genes reveals that puffing at Eip74EF ceases within an hour or two of cohesin cleavage, long before any decline in EcR associated with this locus. We conclude that cohesin regulates expression of a distinct set of genes, including those mediating the Ecdysone response DamID experiments for Rad21 were performed on gDNA from drosophila salivary glands. Samples were hybridized to 380k NimbleGen arrays with 300 bp probe spacing. The experiment was done in duplicate in the reverse dye orientation.

Project description:The regulation of stem cell survival, self-renewal, and differentiation is critical for the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Although the involvement of signaling pathways and transcriptional control mechanisms in stem cell regulation have been extensively investigated, the role of post-transcriptional control is still poorly understood. Here we show that the nuclear activity of the RNA-binding protein Second Mitotic Wave Missing (Swm) is critical for Drosophila melanogaster intestinal stem cells (ISCs) and their daughter cells, enteroblasts (EBs), to maintain their progenitor cell properties and function. Loss of swm causes ISCs and EBs to stop dividing and instead detach from the basement membrane, resulting in severe progenitor cell loss. swm loss is furthermore characterized by nuclear accumulation of poly(A)+ RNA in progenitor cells. Swm associates with transcripts involved in epithelial cell maintenance and adhesion, and the loss of swm, while not generally affecting the levels of these Swm-bound mRNAs, leads to elevated expression of proteins encoded by some of them, including the fly ortholog of Filamin. Taken together, this study indicates a nuclear role for Swm in adult stem cell maintenance, raising the possibility that nuclear post-transcriptional gene regulation plays vital roles in controlling adult stem cell maintenance and function.
