Project description:Tissue stem cells divide asymmetrically to self-renew and generate differentiated progeny to maintain tissue homeostasis. Escargot (Esg) is a transcriptional repressor that is expressed in multiple stem cell populations in Drosophila melanogaster. Reduced esg function in intestinal stem cells (ISCs) causes a loss of ISCs and a biased differentiation of the daughter enteroblasts (EBs) toward the enteroendocrine (EE) cell fate. Loss of esg leads to an upregulation of differentiation factors and reduced Notch activity within EBs, indicating that Esg is a pivotal regulator of homeostasis in the intestine, supporting self-renewal to maintain a healthy stem cell pool as well as differentiation of progenitor cells. To identify potential transcriptional targets that mediate these phenotypes, in vivo DamID was used to generate the data deposited herein. 3 biological relicates were performed for Esg (with one dye-swap).

Project description:The regulation of stem cell survival, self-renewal, and differentiation is critical for the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Although the involvement of signaling pathways and transcriptional control mechanisms in stem cell regulation have been extensively investigated, the role of post-transcriptional control is still poorly understood. Here we show that the nuclear activity of the RNA-binding protein Second Mitotic Wave Missing (Swm) is critical for Drosophila melanogaster intestinal stem cells (ISCs) and their daughter cells, enteroblasts (EBs), to maintain their progenitor cell properties and function. Loss of swm causes ISCs and EBs to stop dividing and instead detach from the basement membrane, resulting in severe progenitor cell loss. swm loss is furthermore characterized by nuclear accumulation of poly(A)+ RNA in progenitor cells. Swm associates with transcripts involved in epithelial cell maintenance and adhesion, and the loss of swm, while not generally affecting the levels of these Swm-bound mRNAs, leads to elevated expression of proteins encoded by some of them, including the fly ortholog of Filamin. Taken together, this study indicates a nuclear role for Swm in adult stem cell maintenance, raising the possibility that nuclear post-transcriptional gene regulation plays vital roles in controlling adult stem cell maintenance and function.

Project description:Abstract: Protein homeostasis (proteostasis) is critical for cell function, and its decline is proposed as a hallmark of aging. Somatic stem cells (SCs) have a unique ability to maintain their proteostatic capacity, yet mechanisms to achieve this remain incompletely understood. Here, we describe and characterize a ‘proteostatic checkpoint’ in Drosophila intestinal SCs (ISCs). Following a breakdown of proteostasis, ISCs coordinate cell cycle arrest with protein aggregate clearance by Atg8-mediated activation of the Nrf2-like transcription factor cap-n-collar C (CncC), which induces the cell cycle inhibitor Dacapo and proteolytic genes. The capacity to engage this checkpoint is lost in ISCs from aging flies, and we show that it can be restored by treating flies with an Nrf2 activator, or by over-expression of CncC or Atg8a. This limits age-related intestinal barrier dysfunction and can result in lifespan extension. Our findings identify a new mechanism by which somatic SCs preserve proteostasis, and highlight potential intervention strategies to maintain regenerative homeostasis. Purpose of Study: To explore the transcriptional program downstream of CncC in Drosophila ISCs in more detail, we performed RNAseq analysis on FACS-purified wild-type or CncC-deficient escargot-positive cells (ISCs/EBs) in which the proteostatic checkpoint was engaged through the expression of HttQ138 or through the knockdown of rpn3. Results: While knockdown of rpn3 resulted in a more pronounced and broader transcriptional response than the expression of HttQ138, 93 of the 200 genes that were induced by HttQ138 expression (using a cut-off of 3-fold induction and a minimum expression of 10 FPKM) were also induced by knockdown of rpn3, illustrating a broad overlap of transcriptional changes elicited by the two conditions. Induction of 167 of those 200 genes was dependent on CncC. GO analysis of either the 93 genes induced in both stress conditions, or of the 167 CncC-dependent genes revealed a significant enrichment of genes encoding proteins involved in proteolysis and protein metabolism.

Project description:Shavenbaby (Svb) transcription factor is involved in the homeostasis of intestinal stem cells (ISCs), and the differentiation of their enteroblast progeny (EB) into enterocytes (EC). Svb is produced as a long repressor protein called SvbRepressor (SvbREP). In presence of Pri peptides SvbREP is processed into a shorter activator form (SvbACT) through partial proteasomal degradation of the REP domain. In ISCs/EBs, Pri triggers SvbREP to ACT maturation, while SvbREP form accumulates in differentiated enterocytes. The absence of Svb promote the apoptosis of the intestinal stem cells. In ISCs/EBs, the ectopic expression of SvbREP form promotes the differentiation and the overexpression of SvbACT promotes hyperplasia. (Al Hayek, et al 2020) Based on these functional analyses, Svb appears to control ISC/EB survival and behavior, balancing proliferation and differentiation through a molecular switch between its 2 antagonistic isoforms. In this study, we determine the Svb target genes in different cell types along the intestinal cell lineage. This particular metadata sheet refers to early enterocytes (mEC) transcriptomic data (RNAseq) in control condition and upon modulation of Svb function.

Project description:The Drosophila midgut is an ideal model system to study molecular mechanisms that interfere with the intestinal stem cells’ (ISCs) ability to function in tissue homeostasis. Due to the lack of a combination of molecular markers suitable to isolate ISCs from aged intestines, it has been a major challenge to study endogenous molecular changes of ISCs during aging. Our FACS-based approach using the esg-GAL4, UAS-GFP fly line allowed the isolation of a cell population enriched for ISCs from young and old midguts by their small size, little granularity and low GFP intensity. The isolated ISCs were subsequently used for RNA sequencing to identify endogenous changes in the transcriptome of young versus old ISCs.

Project description:Purpose: We isolated Drosophila midgut cells : Delta+ intestinal stem cells (ISCs), Su(H)+enteroblasts (EBs), Esg+ cells (ISC+EB), Myo1A+Enterocytes (ECs), Pros+Enteroendocrine cells (EEs) and How+Visceral muscle cells (VM) from whole midguts to identify stem cell specific genes and study cell type specificities of midgut cells. We also isolated all the cell types from the 5 major regions (R1-R5) of the Drosophila midgut to study differences in cells in different regions. Methods: 3-7 day old female flies were dissected. Flies with GFP/YFP marking different cell types (using the GAL4-UAS system) were used to separate cells of the midgut.The midguts were dissociated with Elastase and FACS sorted using FACS AriaIII. RNA was extracted, amplified and sequenced. Whole midgut samples were sequenced on Illumina GAIIX and regional cell populations were sequenced on HiSeq2000. Methods:Raw fastqc reads were mapped to the Drosophila genome (Drosophila_melanogaster.BDGP5.70.dna.toplevel.fa) using Tophat 2.0.9 at default (using boost_1_54_0, bowtie2-2.1.0, samtools-0.1.19). Methods: For differential expression analysis, DESeq (p-value adjustment 0.05 by method Benjamini-Hochberg) was used. The reads were normalized also to Reads per kilobase of transcript per million mapped reads (RPKM). Results: More than 50% of the genome is expressed in the adult midgut (FlyAtlas- Chintapalli et al., 2007), of these genes about 50% (2457) were differentially expressed (DE) between all 4 cell types (ISCs, EBs, ECs and EEs) atleast 2 folds with 95% confidence Results: 159 genes that were specifically enriched in ISCs, 509 genes were specifically repressed in ISCs Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of Drosophila intestinal cell transcriptomes, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology.Our data facilitates comparative investigations of expression profiles of cells and reveals novel stem cell genes. Further region specific profiling adds precision to the analysis of variances in the midgut regions. We identify transcriptional regulators and regional transcription factors which modulate the midgut physiology. The dataset will be a great resource for hypothesis generation, tool building and fine tuned studies on the Drosophila midgut. mRNA profiles of Drosophila intestinal cells from whole midguts and midgut regions were generated by Deep Sequencing. Whole midgut profiles were generated in triplicates (Illumina GAIIx, 72 bp read length) and regional cell type profiles were genrated in duplicates (HiSeq 2000, 50bp read length).

Project description:Perturbed intestinal epithelial homeostasis demonstrated as decreased Lgr5+ intestinal stem cells (Lgr5 ISCs) and increased secretory lineages were observed in our study where Lkb1 was specfically deleted in Lgr5 ISCs using Lgr5-EGFP-creERT2 (Tamoxifen) deletor. To gain mechanistic insight how Lkb1 maintains intestinal epithelial stem cell homeostasis, Lkb1 deficient ISCs (Lgr5-high cells) and progenitors (Lgr5-low cells) are isolated by flow cytometry and profiled by RNA sequencing to compare with controls (Lkb1 wild type ISCs and progenitors).
