Loss of oriented cell division does not initiate cyst formation.

ABSTRACT: Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) can arise from either developmental or postdevelopmental processes. Recessive PKD, caused by mutations in PKHD1, is a developmental defect, whereas dominant PKD, caused by mutations in PKD1 or PKD2, occurs by a cellular recessive mechanism in mature kidneys. Oriented cell division is a feature of planar cell polarity that describes the orientation of the mitotic axes of dividing cells during development with respect to the luminal vector of the elongating nephron. In polycystic mutant mice, the loss of oriented cell division may also contribute to the pathogenesis of PKD. Here, we examined the role of oriented cell division in mouse models based on mutations in Pkd1, Pkd2, and Pkhd1. Precystic tubules after kidney-selective inactivation of either Pkd1 or Pkd2 did not lose oriented division before cystic dilation but lost oriented division after tubular dilation began. In contrast, Pkhd1(del4/del4) mice lost oriented cell division but did not develop kidney cysts. Increased intercalation of cells into the plane of the tubular epithelium maintained the normal tubular morphology in Pkhd1(del4/del4) mice, which had more cells present in transverse tubular profiles. In conclusion, loss of oriented cell division is a feature of Pkhd1 mutation and cyst formation, but it is neither sufficient to produce kidney cysts nor required to initiate cyst formation after mutation in Pkd1 or Pkd2.

Thiazolidinediones inhibit MDCK cyst growth through disrupting oriented cell division and apicobasal polarity.

Project description:Thiazolidinediones have been reported to retard cystic disease in rodent models by uncertain mechanisms. We hypothesized that their major effect in retarding cystogenesis was through inhibiting cell proliferation or stimulating apoptosis. In the Madin-Darby canine kidney cell (MDCK) model, rosiglitazone inhibited cyst growth in a time- and dose-dependent manner and this was accompanied by a reduction in basal proliferation and an increase in apoptosis. Unexpectedly, we also observed a striking abnormality in lumen formation resulting in a characteristic multiple lumen or loss of lumen phenotype in treated cells at doses which did not inhibit cell proliferation. These changes were preceded by mislocalization of gp135 and Cdc42, misorientation of the mitotic spindle, and retardation in centrosome reorientation with later changes in primary cilia length and mislocalization of E-cadherin. Cdc42 activation was unaffected by rosiglitazone in monolayer culture but was profoundly inhibited in three-dimensional culture. MDCK cells stably expressing mutant Cdc42 showed a similar mislocalization of gp135 expression and multilumen phenotype in the absence of rosiglitazone. We conclude that rosiglitazone influences MDCK cyst growth by multiple mechanisms involving dosage-dependent effects on proliferation, spindle orientation, centrosome migration, and lumen formation. Correct spatial Cdc42 activation is critical for lumen formation, but the effect of rosiglitazone is likely to involve both Cdc42 and non-Cdc42 pathways.

Oriented cell division as a response to cell death and cell competition.

Project description:The imaginal disc epithelia that give rise to the adult ectoderm of Drosophila can compensate to produce normal adult organs after damage. We looked at the local response to cell death by using two genetic methods to elevate cell death rates. During cell competition, sporadic cell death occurs predictably along the boundaries between populations of competing wild-type and "Minute" cells (M/+). Boundaries between M/+ and wild-type populations show an unusual degree of mixing, associated with mitotic reorientation of wild-type cells toward M/+ territory that they take over. Apoptosis of M/+ cells was the cue, and reoriented mitosis required the planar cell polarity genes dachsous, fat, and atrophin. Clones mutated for pineapple eye, an essential gene, elevate apoptosis by a noncompetitive mechanism. Mitosis was also reoriented near cells mutant for pineapple eye, likewise dependent on the planar cell polarity genes. These findings show that planar cell polarity genes are required for responses to cell death. Oriented mitosis may help maintain morphology as dividing cells replace those that have been lost.

Oriented cell motility and division underlie early limb bud morphogenesis.

Project description:The vertebrate limb bud arises from lateral plate mesoderm and its overlying ectoderm. Despite progress regarding the genetic requirements for limb development, morphogenetic mechanisms that generate early outgrowth remain relatively undefined. We show by live imaging and lineage tracing in different vertebrate models that the lateral plate contributes mesoderm to the early limb bud through directional cell movement. The direction of cell motion, longitudinal cell axes and bias in cell division planes lie largely parallel to one another along the rostrocaudal (head-tail) axis in lateral plate mesoderm. Transition of these parameters from a rostrocaudal to a mediolateral (outward from the body wall) orientation accompanies early limb bud outgrowth. Furthermore, we provide evidence that Wnt5a acts as a chemoattractant in the emerging limb bud where it contributes to the establishment of cell polarity that is likely to underlie the oriented cell behaviours.

Oriented cell division shapes carnivorous pitcher leaves of Sarracenia purpurea.

Project description:Complex morphology is an evolutionary outcome of phenotypic diversification. In some carnivorous plants, the ancestral planar leaf has been modified to form a pitcher shape. However, how leaf development was altered during evolution remains unknown. Here we show that the pitcher leaves of Sarracenia purpurea develop through cell division patterns of adaxial tissues that are distinct from those in bifacial and peltate leaves, subsequent to standard expression of adaxial and abaxial marker genes. Differences in the orientation of cell divisions in the adaxial domain cause bifacial growth in the distal region and adaxial ridge protrusion in the middle region. These different growth patterns establish pitcher morphology. A computer simulation suggests that the cell division plane is critical for the pitcher morphogenesis. Our results imply that tissue-specific changes in the orientation of cell division underlie the development of a morphologically complex leaf.

Z-ring membrane anchors associate with cell wall synthases to initiate bacterial cell division.

Project description:During the transition from elongation to septation, Escherichia coli establishes a ring-like peptidoglycan growth zone at the future division site. This preseptal peptidoglycan synthesis does not require the cell division-specific peptidoglycan transpeptidase PBP3 or most of the other cell division proteins, but it does require FtsZ, its membrane-anchor ZipA and at least one of the bi-functional transglycosylase-transpeptidases, PBP1A or PBP1B. Here we show that PBP1A and PBP1B interact with ZipA and localise to preseptal sites in cells with inhibited PBP3. ZipA stimulates the glycosyltransferase activity of PBP1A. The membrane-anchored cell division protein FtsN localises at preseptal sites and stimulates both activities of PBP1B. Genes zipA and ftsN can be individually deleted in ftsA* mutant cells, but the simultaneous depletion of both proteins is lethal and cells do not establish preseptal sites. Our data support a model according to which ZipA and FtsN-FtsA have semi-redundant roles in connecting the cytosolic FtsZ ring with the membrane-anchored peptidoglycan synthases during the preseptal phase of envelope growth.

Sfrp controls apicobasal polarity and oriented cell division in developing gut epithelium.

Project description:Epithelial tubular morphogenesis leading to alteration of organ shape has important physiological consequences. However, little is known regarding the mechanisms that govern epithelial tube morphogenesis. Here, we show that inactivation of Sfrp1 and Sfrp2 leads to reduction in fore-stomach length in mouse embryos, which is enhanced in the presence of the Sfrp5 mutation. In the mono-cell layer of fore-stomach epithelium, cell division is normally oriented along the cephalocaudal axis; in contrast, orientation diverges in the Sfrps-deficient fore-stomach. Cell growth and apoptosis are not affected in the Sfrps-deficient fore-stomach epithelium. Similarly, cell division orientation in fore-stomach epithelium diverges as a result of inactivation of either Stbm/Vangl2, an Fz/PCP component, or Wnt5a. These observations indicate that the oriented cell division, which is controlled by the Fz/PCP pathway, is one of essential components in fore-stomach morphogenesis. Additionally, the small intestine epithelium of Sfrps compound mutants fails to maintain proper apicobasal polarity; the defect was also observed in Wnt5a-inactivated small intestine. In relation to these findings, Sfrp1 physically interacts with Wnt5a and inhibits Wnt5a signaling. We propose that Sfrp regulation of Wnt5a signaling controls oriented cell division and apicobasal polarity in the epithelium of developing gut.

Hoxb1b controls oriented cell division, cell shape and microtubule dynamics in neural tube morphogenesis.

Project description:Hox genes are classically ascribed to function in patterning the anterior-posterior axis of bilaterian animals; however, their role in directing molecular mechanisms underlying morphogenesis at the cellular level remains largely unstudied. We unveil a non-classical role for the zebrafish hoxb1b gene, which shares ancestral functions with mammalian Hoxa1, in controlling progenitor cell shape and oriented cell division during zebrafish anterior hindbrain neural tube morphogenesis. This is likely distinct from its role in cell fate acquisition and segment boundary formation. We show that, without affecting major components of apico-basal or planar cell polarity, Hoxb1b regulates mitotic spindle rotation during the oriented neural keel symmetric mitoses that are required for normal neural tube lumen formation in the zebrafish. This function correlates with a non-cell-autonomous requirement for Hoxb1b in regulating microtubule plus-end dynamics in progenitor cells in interphase. We propose that Hox genes can influence global tissue morphogenesis by control of microtubule dynamics in individual cells in vivo.

Loss of E-cadherin disrupts ovarian epithelial inclusion cyst formation and collective cell movement in ovarian cancer cells.

Project description:Increased inclusion cyst formation in the ovary is associated with ovarian cancer development. We employed in vitro three-dimensional (3D) organotypic models formed by normal human ovarian surface epithelial (OSE) cells and ovarian cancer cells to study the morphologies of normal and cancerous ovarian cortical inclusion cysts and the molecular changes during their transitions into stromal microenvironment. When compared with normal cysts that expressed tenascin, the cancerous cysts expressed high levels of laminin V and demonstrated polarized structures in Matrigel; and the cancer cells migrated collectively when the cyst structures were positioned in a stromal-like collagen I matrix. The molecular markers identified in the in vitro 3D models were verified in clinical samples. Network analysis of gene expression of the 3D structures indicates concurrent downregulation of transforming growth factor beta pathway genes and high levels of E-cadherin and microRNA200 (miR200) expression in the cancerous cysts and the migrating cancer cells. Transient silencing of E-cadherin expression in ovarian cancer cells disrupted cyst structures and inhibited collective cell migration. Taken together, our studies employing 3D models have shown that E-cadherin is crucial for ovarian inclusion cyst formation and collective cancer cell migration.

Loss of Polycystin-1 causes cAMP-dependent switch from tubule to cyst formation.

Project description:Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is the most common monogenic disease that causes end-stage renal failure. It primarily results from mutations in the PKD1 gene that encodes for Polycystin-1. How loss of Polycystin-1 translates into bilateral renal cyst development is mostly unknown. cAMP is significantly involved in cyst enlargement but its role in cyst initiation has remained elusive. Deletion of Polycystin-1 in collecting duct cells resulted in a switch from tubule to cyst formation and was accompanied by an increase in cAMP. Pharmacological elevation of cAMP in Polycystin-1-competent cells caused cyst formation, impaired plasticity, nondirectional migration, and mis-orientation, and thus strongly resembled the phenotype of Polycystin-1-deficient cells. Mis-orientation of developing tubule cells in metanephric kidneys upon loss of Polycystin-1 was phenocopied by pharmacological increase of cAMP in wildtype kidneys. In vitro, cAMP impaired tubule formation after capillary-induced injury which was further impaired by loss Polycystin-1.

Planar cell polarity signaling coordinates oriented cell division and cell rearrangement in clonally expanding growth plate cartilage.

Project description:Both oriented cell divisions and cell rearrangements are critical for proper embryogenesis and organogenesis. However, little is known about how these two cellular events are integrated. Here we examine the linkage between these processes in chick limb cartilage. By combining retroviral-based multicolor clonal analysis with live imaging, the results show that single chondrocyte precursors can generate both single-column and multi-column clones through oriented division followed by cell rearrangements. Focusing on single column formation, we show that this stereotypical tissue architecture is established by a pivot-like process between sister cells. After mediolateral cell division, N-cadherin is enriched in the post-cleavage furrow; then one cell pivots around the other, resulting in stacking into a column. Perturbation analyses demonstrate that planar cell polarity signaling enables cells to pivot in the direction of limb elongation via this N-cadherin-mediated coupling. Our work provides new insights into the mechanisms generating appropriate tissue architecture of limb skeleton.
