Mechanistic characterization of a Drosophila model of paraneoplastic nephrotic syndrome
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Purpose: Paraneoplastic syndromes occur in cancer patients and originate from dysfunction of organs at a distance from the tumor or its metastasis. In this study, using a Drosophila gut tumor model, we characterized a mechanism of tumor-induced kidney dysfunction. Methods: snRNA-seq analysis of MT samples with and without Yki gut tumors and snRNA-seq analysis of MT samples with kidney principal cell-specific disregulation of PDGF/VEGF signaling Results: we found that Pvf1, a PDGF/VEGF signaling ligand, secreted by gut tumors activates the PvR/JNK/Jra signaling pathway in the principal cells of the kidney, leading to mis-expression of renal genes and paraneoplastic renal syndrome-like phenotypes Conclusions: Our study describes a novel mechanism by which gut tumors perturb the function of the kidney, which might be of clinical relevance for the treatment of paraneoplastic syndromes.
