NF-kB signaling driven by oncogenic Ras contributes to tumorigenesis in a Drosophila carcinoma model

ABSTRACT: Cancer-driving mutations synergize with inflammatory stress signaling pathways during carcinogenesis. Drosophila melanogaster tumour models are increasingly recognized as models to inform conserved molecular mechanisms of tumorigenesis with both local and systemic effects of cancer. Although initial discoveries of the Toll-NFkB signaling pathway in development and immunity was pioneered in Drosophila, limited information is available for its role in cancer progression. Using a well-studied cooperative RasV12 -driven epithelial-derived tumour model, we here describe functions of Toll- NF-kB signaling in malignant RasV12, scrib- tumors. The extracellular Toll pathway components ModSP and PGRP-SA and intracellular signaling Kinase, Pelle/IRAK, are rate-limiting for tumor growth. The Toll pathway NFkB protein Dorsal, as well as cactus/IkB show elevated expression in tumors with highest expression in invasive cell populations. Oncogenic RasV12, and not loss of scribble, confers increased expression and heterogenous distribution of two Dorsal isoforms, DorsalA and DorsalB in different tumour cell populations. Mechanistic analyses demonstrates that Dorsal, in concert with the BTB-transcription factor Chinmo, drives growth and malignancy by suppressing differentiation, counteracting apoptosis and promoting invasion of RasV12, scrib- tumors.

Transcriptional profiling of Drosophila neoplastic tumors to identify Ets21C dependent target genes

Project description:Expressing constitutive active Ras (RasV12) in combination with loss of function mutations in cell polarity determinants such as scrib, dlg or lgl results in large tumors in Drosophila eye imaginal discs. We found that the transcription factor Ets21C critically affects neoplastic growth of RasV12 dlgRNAi tumors. In order better understand this phenomenon, we aimed to identify Ets21C dependent target genes. For this purpose, we did microarrays of RasV12 dlgRNAi tumors that were depleted for Ets21C or overexpressed Ets21C and compared the transcriptional profiles to control tumors.

Abrupt scrib- vs. Abrupt and RasV12 (RasACT) scrib-, NotchICD (NACT) scrib- +/- JNK (Bsk) expression profiles

Project description:Drosophila mosaic eye-antennal discs from the listed genotypes generated using the MARCM system were dissected from 3rd instar larvae at day 5 after egg deposition. 20 pairs of discs for the Abrupt and scrib- + Abrupt samples and 50 pairs from FRT control, NACT scrib- +/- BskDN and RasACT scrib- +/- BskDN were used to prepare RNA. Samples were prepared in triplicate, and the RNA isolated using TRIZOL, before being column purified (Qiagen). Probes were hybridized to GeneChip Drosophila 2.0 Genome Arrays (Affymetrix). To compare the expression profile of Abrupt when overexpressed in the eye-antennal discs with tumours formed by Abrupt overexpression in scrib- clones, and to reveal JNK responsive genes in RasV12 (RasACT) scrib- versus NotchICD (NACT) scrib- eye-antennal mosaic discs

Bulk RNAseq of Anopheles gambiae hemocytes upon Toll pathway overactivation

Project description:Toll pathway is a key mediator of antiplasmodial immunity and its mechanism of action is dependent on hemocytes (mosquito white blood cells). Anopheles gambiae were injected with dsRNA for Cactus, an inhibitor of the Toll pathway. Cactus silencing over activates the Toll pathway. The goal of this experiment is to evaluate hemocyte transcriptional changes between control mosquitoes injected with a non-related dsRNA (dsLacZ and dsCactus injected mosquitoes. We also divide hemocytes from control and experimental conditions into 2 groups: bound (hemocytes that attach to glass - granulocyte populations) and unbound (hemocytes that remain in suspension - prohemocytes and oenocytoids). Files from Unbound fractions are labelled: UB and from bound fractions are labelled B. Some of the samples were run twice and have 2 gz files.

Aedes aegypti Malpighian tubules are immunologically activated following systemic Toll activation

Project description:Canine heartworm is a widespread and potentially fatal mosquito-borne disease caused by infections with the parasitic nematode, Dirofilaria immitis. We have previously shown that systemic activation of the Toll immune pathway via silencing of the negative regulator Cactus in Aedes aegypti blocks parasite development in the Malpighian tubules, the mosquito renal organ. However, it was not established whether the Malpighian tubules were directly responding to Toll activation or were alternatively responding to upregulated proteins or other changes to the hemolymph driven by other tissues. Distinguishing these possibilities is crucial for developing more precise strategies to block D. immitis while potentially avoiding the fitness cost to the mosquito associated with Cactus silencing. This study defines the transcriptional response of Ae. aegypti Malpighian tubules after systemic Toll activation via intra-thoracic injection of dsCactus and found, like the response of whole mosquitoes, a significant increase in expression of Toll pathway target genes. Additionally, we identified a significant overlap between the transcriptional response of the Malpighian tubules and proteins upregulated in the hemolymph. Our data show that Malpighian tubules are capable of RNAi-mediated gene silencing and directly respond to dsCactus treatment by upregulating canonical Toll pathway targets. Though not definitive, the strong correspondence between the Malpighian tubule transcriptional and the hemolymph proteomic responses provides evidence that the tubules may contribute to mosquito humoral immunity.

Drosophila lncRNA-NANPI enhances Toll signaling pathway by interacting with Dif/Dorsal to facilitate transcription of antibacterial peptides

Project description:LncRNAs have important regulatory functions but their roles in Drosophila innate immunity are poorly understood. The Drosophila Toll signaling pathway responds to Gram-positive bacterial infection and is highly conserved with mammalian TLR signaling. Recent studies focused mainly on Toll signaling pathway regulation by protein-coding genes. In the present study, we found that lncRNA-CR33942 was upregulated after Micrococcus luteus infection. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function assays disclosed that lncRNA-CR33942 regulates the Toll signaling pathway and affects Drosophila survival. RNA-seq of infected CR33942-overexpressing flies was performed to explore the CR33942 mechanism. About 70% of all upregulated core enrichment genes in the Toll signaling pathway were antibacterial peptides and PGRPs transcribed by Dif/Dorsal. We also demonstrated CR33942 interactions with Dif/Dorsal and revealed that they induce antibacterial peptides. Hence, we renamed CR33942 as lncRNA-NANPI (NF-κB-associated non-coding RNA promotional immunology). The present study identified the novel Toll signaling pathway regulator NANPI, elucidated its mode of action, clarified the function of lncRNA, and expanded our understanding of the Toll signaling pathway.

Network Analysis of Skin Tumor Progression Identifies a Rewired Genetic Architecture Affecting Inflammation and Tumor Susceptibility (carcinomas)

Project description:Germline polymorphisms influence gene expression networks in normal mammalian tissues. Analysis of this genetic architecture can identify single genes and whole pathways that influence to complex traits including inflammation and cancer susceptibility. Changes in the genetic architecture during the development of benign and malignant tumours have not been investigated. Here, we document major changes in germline control of gene expression during skin tumour development as a consequence of cell selection, somatic genetic events, and changes in tumour microenvironment. Immune response genes such as Interleukin 18 and Granzyme E are under germline control in tumours but not in normal skin. Gene expression networks linked to tumour susceptibility and hair follicle stem cell markers in normal skin undergo significant reorganization during tumour progression. Our data highlight opposing roles of Interleukin-1 signaling networks in tumour susceptibility and tumour progression and have implications for the development of chemopreventive strategies to reduce cancer incidence. Skin tumors were induced on dorsal back skin from a Mus spretus / Mus musculus backcross ([SPRET/Ei X FVB/N] X FVB/N) mice by treatment of dorsal back skin with dimethyl benzanthracene (DMBA) and tetradecanoyl-phorbol acetate (TPA). This treatment induced multiple benign papillomas as well as malignant squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) and spindle cell carcinomas. 60 carcinomas were harvested from 55 mice; five mice provided two carcinomas each.

The BTB-zinc finger transcription factor Abrupt acts as an epithelial oncogene in Drosophila through maintaining a progenitor-like cell state

Project description:The capacity of tumor cells to maintain continual overgrowth potential has been linked to the commandeering of normal self-renewal pathways. Using an epithelial cancer model in Drosophila we carried out an overexpression screen for oncogenes capable of cooperating with the loss of the epithelial apico-basal cell polarity regulator, scribbled, and identified the cell fate regulator, Abrupt, a BTB-zinc finger protein. Abrupt overexpression alone is insufficient to transform cells, but in cooperation with scrib loss of function, Abrupt promotes the formation of massive tumors in the eye/antennal disc. The steroid hormone receptor coactivator, Taiman (SRC3/AIB1), is known to associate with Abrupt, and Taiman overexpression also drives tumor formation in cooperation with the loss of Scribbled. Expression arrays and ChIP-Seq indicates that Abrupt overexpression represses a large number of genes, including steroid hormone-response genes and multiple cell fate regulators, thereby maintaining cells within an epithelial progenitor-like state. The progenitor-like state is characterised by the failure to express the conserved Eyes absent/Dachshund regulatory complex in the eye disc, and in the antennal disc by the failure to express cell fate regulators that define the temporal elaboration of the appendage along the proximo-distal axis downstream of Distalless. Loss of scribbled promotes cooperation with Abrupt through impaired Hippo signaling, which is required and sufficient for cooperative overgrowth with Abrupt, and JNK signaling, which is required for tumor cell migration/invasion but not overgrowth. These results thus identify a novel cooperating oncogene, mammalian family members of which are also known oncogenes, and demonstrate that epithelial tumors in Drosophila can be characterised by the maintenance of a progenitor-like state.
