Project description:Ecdysone signaling has long been studied as a paradigm for how hormones can synchronize development events in tissues throughout the animal. At the genetic level, ecdysone acts through its receptor, EcR, which has been classically thought to act at a relatively small number of canonical, ecdysone-responsive genes which then go on to activate the effectors of cellular processes. However, in spite of the decades of work studying EcR, the understanding of how EcR promotes changes in gene expression genome-wide in vivo remains incomplete. To examine EcR’s role in promoting changes in gene expression, we use a tissue-specific GAL4 driver to knockdown EcR throughout wing development and perform RNAseq on both WT wings and EcR-RNAi wings at -6h after puparium formation (APF) and +6hAPF. We find that EcR is required to promote thousands of gene expression changes genome-wide. To determine whether EcR is directly effecting these changes, we perform CUT&RUN in wings to identify EcR binding sites genome-wide. We find that EcR directly binds thousands of sites genome-wide, including many genes important for wing development. Collectively, these data suggest that EcR does not only act the top of a signaling cascade, but, instead, directly effects the response to ecdysone at multiple levels.

Project description:Coupling immunity and development is essential to ensure survival despite changing internal conditions in the organism. The metamorphosis of the fruit fly represents a striking example of drastic and systemic physiological changes that need to be integrated with the innate immune system. However, the mechanisms that coordinate development and immune cell activity in the transition from larva to adult in Drosophila remain to elucidate. The steroid hormone ecdysone is known to act as a key coordinator of metamorphosis. This hormone activates a nuclear receptor, the Ecdysone Receptor (EcR), which acts as a heterodimer with its partner Ultraspiracle (USP). Together, they activate the transcription of primary response genes, which in turn activate the transcription of a battery of late response genes. We have revealed that regulation of macrophage-like cells (hemocytes) by the steroid hormone ecdysone is essential for an effective innate immune response over metamorphosis. We have shown that in response to ecdysone signalling, hemocytes rapidly up regulate actin dynamics, motility and phagocytosis of apoptotic corpses, and acquire the ability to chemotax to damaged epithelia. Most importantly, individuals lacking ecdysone-activated hemocytes are defective in bacterial phagocytosis and are fatally susceptible to infection by bacteria ingested at larval stages, despite the normal systemic production of antimicrobial peptides. This decrease in survival is comparable to the one observed in pupae lacking immune cells altogether, indicating that ecdysone-regulation is essential to hemocyte immune functions and survival after infection. To better understand the ecdysone regulation of hemocyte activities, we have performed gene expression analysis. In order to identify the genes which expression change at the onset of metamorphosis, we have sorted hemocytes from 3rd instar larvae and from young prepupae and compared their gene expression. Moreover, and in order to identify which genes are regulated by the ecdysone signalling, we have used individuals expressing a dominant negative form of the Ecdysone Receptor specifically in their hemocytes. We have sorted hemocytes from 3rd instar and young prepupae of this genotype to compare their gene expression to the gene expression in larvae and prepupae from the control individuals. Hemocytes were isolated by FACS from selected 3rd instar larvae (at the late feeding stage) and prepupae (from 1h to 2h after puparium formation - APF) corresponding to two different genotypes: individuals w;HmlDeltaGal4, UAS-GFP/+ that express GFP specifically in hemocytes (genotype control), and individuals w;HmlDeltaGal4; UAS-GFP/UAS-EcRB1DN W650A which hemocytes express an Ecdysone Receptor Dominant Negative construct in addition to the GFP (EcRDN). For each of the four conditions we performed three biological replicates.

Project description:In Drosophila, the ecdysone steroid hormone is essential for coordinating developmental timing across physically separated tissues. Ecdysone directly impacts genome function through its receptor, a heterodimer of the EcR and Usp proteins. Ligand binding to EcR triggers a transcriptional cascade, including activation of a set of primary response transcription factors. The hierarchical organization of this pathway has left the direct role of EcR in mediating ecdysone responses obscured. Here, we investigate the role of EcR in controlling tissue-specific ecdysone responses, focusing on two tissues that diverge in their response to rising ecdysone titers: the larval salivary gland, which undergoes programmed destruction, and the wing imaginal disc, which initiates metamorphosis. We find that EcR functions bimodally, with both gene repressive and activating functions, even at the same developmental stage. We find that EcR DNA binding profiles are highly tissue-specific, and transgenic reporter analyses demonstrate that EcR plays a direct role in controlling enhancer activity. Despite a strong correlation between tissue-specific EcR binding and tissue-specific open chromatin, we find that EcR does not control chromatin accessibility at genomic targets. We conclude that EcR contributes extensively to tissue-specific ecdysone responses. However, control over access to its binding sites is subordinated to other transcription factors.
