Different isoforms of Maxwell´s Demon, a conserved cell membrane protein, mediate lose/win decisions during cell competition

ABSTRACT: Cell competition promotes the elimination of weaker cells from a growing population. Here we investigate how cells of Drosophila wing imaginal discs distinguish “winners” from “losers” during cell competition. Using genomic and functional assays we have identified Maxwell`s Demon (Mwd), a cell membrane protein conserved in multicellular animals. Our results suggest that the membrane protein Mwd is a dedicated component of the cell competition response that is required and sufficient to label cells as “winners” or “losers”. In Drosophila, the mwd locus produces three isoforms, mwdubi, mwdLose-A and mwdLose-B. Basal levels of mwdubi are constantly produced. During competition the mwdLose isoforms are upregulated in prospective loser cells. Cell-cell comparison of relative mwdLose and mwdubi levels ultimately determine which cell undergoes apoptosis. This “extracellular code” may constitute an ancient mechanism to terminate competitive conflicts among cells.

This “extracellular code” may constitute an ancient mechanism to terminate competitive conflicts among cells. Two samples have been analysed: tub>dmyc>Gal4 transgene cells (competitor) and tub>cd2>Gal4 control cells (non competitor) at different time points (0, 12, 24 and 48 hours). Each experiment was replicated 6 times, three of them by dye swap.

RNA-seq analysis of CncC (Nrf2) over-expression to induce the loser status in Drosophila wing discs

Project description:To investigate the mechanisms of cell competition, we analysed the molecular differences between wild type and mild CncC (Nrf2) over-expressing causing the loser phenotype in Drosophila wing discs. We then compared the genes differentially expressed in these conditions to our previously identified ‘loser signature’ which reveal a significant overlap. From this later comparison, we raised a list of 121 up-regulated genes to conduct a cell competition screen using PECAn (Pipeline for Enhanced Clonal Analysis) for automating analysis of mosaic experiment.

RNA-seq analysis of mutations inducing the loser status in Drosophila wing discs

Project description:In order to investigate the mechanisms of cell competition, we analyzed the molecular differences between the prospective winner and loser cells in Drosophila wing discs. For this purpose we analyzed RNA-seq profiles generated for wild-type cells (prospective winners) and cells mutant for RpS3 and mahj, genes seemingly functionally unrelated, yet both causing the loser phenotype. As an interesting reference, we also generated data from cells with mutations in RpS15, which, like RpS3, is a ribosomal gene but itself does not trigger cell competition. Through in depth analysis we homed in on the subset of genes misregulated in both prospective loser cells mutants, which defines "the molecular signature of prospective loser cells". Additionally, we provide RNA-seq data for RpS3 mutant discs upon inhibition of the JNK signalling pathway (by overexpression of the pathway inhibitor puckered) and compare this to reference RpS3 mutant cells, hence identifying those genes in RpS3 mutants that are differentially expressed in a JNK-dependent manner.

Cell competition as a barrier for interspecies chimerism between evolutionary distant species

Project description:we develop an interspecies pluripotent stem cell (PSC) co-culture strategy and uncover a previously unknown mode of cell competition. Interspecies PSC competition occurs during primed but not naive pluripotency, and between evolutionarily distant species. We identified genes related to NF-κB signaling pathways, among others, were upregulated in loser cells and genetic inactivation of RELA, a core component of canonical NF-κB pathway, could overcome interspecies PSC competition. We further showed that an upstream regulator of the NF-κB signaling, MYD88 innate immune signal transduction adaptor, was also involved in promoting loser PSC elimination. Suppressing interspecies PSC competition via genetic perturbation of MYD88 or P65 improved engraftment of human cells in early post-implantation mouse embryos. Our study discovers a new paradigm of cell competition and paves the way for studying evolutionarily conserved cell competition mechanisms during early mammalian development. Strategies developed here to overcome interspecies PSC competition may facilitate interspecies organogenesis between evolutionary distant species, including humans.

Identifying endogenous superior and inferior neural progenitor cells

Project description:Stem cell competition controls organ size, maintains tissue homeostasis and optimizes long-term tissue function through eliminating cells less fit than their neighbors, but whether competitive interaction occurs between neural stem cells in the developing brain and its mechanistic drivers remains enigmatic. We applied single-cell RNA sequencing of mouse E11.5 medial cortex and bulk RNA sequencing of AnnexinV positive, PI negative cells to identify the loser cell in the natural state.

In Vivo Profiling of Leukemic Stem Cell Fitness

Project description:By transplanting in competition multiple pre-leukemic clones in a cohort of primary recipients, we observed emergence of dominant clones during the development of AML. By sampling “winner” clones at different time points, we could observe the gradual acquisition a of cell-intrinsic growth advantage that was preserved in secondary transplantation, whereas control “loser” clones grew at a significantly lower rate. Functional characterization of the winner clones demonstrated a higher engraftment rate in vivo, whereas the self-renewal potential and growth rate in vitro was similar among winner and loser clones. By comparing the gene expression profile of leukemic stem cells isolated from various clones, we observed that the most aggressive clones share a common signature characterized by activation of multiple metabolic pathways, such as steroid biosynthesis and response to oxidative stress.

Win-stay-lose-learn promotes cooperation in the prisoner's dilemma game with voluntary participation.

Project description:Voluntary participation, demonstrated to be a simple yet effective mechanism to promote persistent cooperative behavior, has been extensively studied. It has also been verified that the aspiration-based win-stay-lose-learn strategy updating rule promotes the evolution of cooperation. Inspired by this well-known fact, we combine the Win-Stay-Lose-Learn updating rule with voluntary participation: Players maintain their strategies when they are satisfied, or players attempt to imitate the strategy of one randomly chosen neighbor. We find that this mechanism maintains persistent cooperative behavior, even further promotes the evolution of cooperation under certain conditions.

It's not just how the game is played, it's whether you win or lose.

Project description:Growing disparities of income and wealth have prompted extensive survey research to measure the effects on public beliefs about the causes and fairness of economic inequality. However, observational data confound responses to unequal outcomes with highly correlated inequality of opportunity. This study uses a novel experiment to disentangle the effects of unequal outcomes and unequal opportunities on cognitive, normative, and affective responses. Participants were randomly assigned to positions with unequal opportunities for success. Results showed that both winners and losers were less likely to view the outcomes as fair or attributable to skill as the level of redistribution increased, but this effect of redistribution was stronger for winners. Moreover, winners were generally more likely to believe that the game was fair, even when the playing field was most heavily tilted in their favor. In short, it's not just how the game is played, it's also whether you win or lose.

Dynamic aspiration based on Win-Stay-Lose-Learn rule in spatial prisoner's dilemma game.

Project description:Prisoner's dilemma game is the most commonly used model of spatial evolutionary game which is considered as a paradigm to portray competition among selfish individuals. In recent years, Win-Stay-Lose-Learn, a strategy updating rule base on aspiration, has been proved to be an effective model to promote cooperation in spatial prisoner's dilemma game, which leads aspiration to receive lots of attention. In this paper, according to Expected Value Theory and Achievement Motivation Theory, we propose a dynamic aspiration model based on Win-Stay-Lose-Learn rule in which individual's aspiration is inspired by its payoff. It is found that dynamic aspiration has a significant impact on the evolution process, and different initial aspirations lead to different results, which are called Stable Coexistence under Low Aspiration, Dependent Coexistence under Moderate aspiration and Defection Explosion under High Aspiration respectively. Furthermore, a deep analysis is performed on the local structures which cause defectors' re-expansion, the concept of END- and EXP-periods are used to justify the mechanism of network reciprocity in view of time-evolution, typical feature nodes for defectors' re-expansion called Infectors, Infected nodes and High-risk cooperators respectively are found. Compared to fixed aspiration model, dynamic aspiration introduces a more satisfactory explanation on population evolution laws and can promote deeper comprehension for the principle of prisoner's dilemma.
