Project description:The large Drosophila protocadherin Fat (Ft) is a receptor for signal transduction pathways that control growth (Hippo signaling), planar cell polarity (PCP), metabolism and the proximodistal patterning of appendages. The intracellular domain (ICD) of Ft is crucial in implementing its biological functions. Six regions of high conservation (named A-F) within the ICD have been identified, as well as distinct regions mediating Hippo pathway activity that have been functionally characterized via overexpression assays. Here, we make targeted deletions of these highly conserved residues and the putative Hippo- and PCP-regulating domains of endogenous Ft using CRISPR/Cas9. Through transcriptomic, developmental, and phenotypic analyses, we show that different regions of Ft contribute uniquely to chromatin dynamics, tissue morphogenesis, PCP and metabolic regulation. We also demonstrate that different regions of Ft regulate Yorkie activity in opposite directions, finely tuning growth and tissue development. Strikingly, conserved regions D and F are key regulators of Ft’s functions- exhibiting opposing effects on wing morphology and Hippo pathway modulation- and conserved region D is the main regulator of PCP.

Project description:Actomyosin contractility represents an ancient feature of eukaryotic cells participating in many developmental and homeostasis events, including tissue morphogenesis, muscle contraction, and cell migration, with dysregulation implicated in various pathological conditions, such as cancer. At the molecular level, actomyosin comprises actin bundles and myosin motor proteins that are sensitive to posttranslational modifications like phosphorylation. While the molecular components of actomyosin and its regulation are well understood, the coordination of contractility by extracellular and intracellular signals, particularly from cellular signaling pathways, remains incompletely elucidated. This study focuses on planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling, previously associated with actomyosin contractility during vertebrate neurulation. Contrary to previous studies, our investigation reveals that main cytoplasmic PCP proteins, Prickle and Dishevelled, interact directly with key actomyosin components such as myosin light chain (MLC), leading to its phosphorylation and localized activation. Through relevant in vitro and in vivo models, we demonstrate that these PCP proteins function not merely passively and indirectly as previously reported, but that they actively control actomyosin contractility by acting as scaffold proteins, orchestrating the necessary machinery for contractility. These findings unveil a direct link of PCP signaling in crucial actomyosin contractility processes through MLC that are relevant to vertebrate neurulation and potentially beyond.

Project description:A detailed understanding of intestinal stem cell (ISC) self-renewal and differentiation is required for better treatment options for a variety of chronic intestinal diseases, however, current models of ISC lineage hierarchy and segregation are still under debate. Here we report the identification of Lgr5+ ISCs that express Flattop (Fltp), a Wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) reporter and effector gene. Functional analysis and lineage tracing revealed that Wnt/PCP-activated Fltp+ ISCs are primed towards either the enteroendocrine or Paneth cell lineage in vivo, while retaining self-renewal and multi-lineage capacity in vitro. Surprisingly, canonical Wnt/beta-catenin- and non-canonical Wnt/PCP-activated Lgr5+ ISCs are indistinguishable by the expression of stem-cell signature or secretory lineage-specifying genes, suggesting that lineage priming and cell-cycle exit is triggered at the post-transcriptional level by polarity cues and a switch of canonical to non-canonical Wnt signalling. Pseudotemporal ordering of targeted single-cell gene expression data allowed us to delineate the ISC differentiation path into enteroendocrine and Paneth cells. Strikingly, both lineages are directly recruited from ISCs via unipotent transition states, excluding the existence of formerly predicted bi- or multipotent secretory progenitors. Transitory cells that mature into Paneth cells are defined by label-retention and co-expression of stem cell and secretory lineage genes, indicating that these cells are the previously described Lgr5+ label-retaining cells (LRCs). Taken together, we identified the Wnt/PCP pathway as a new niche signal and polarity cue regulating stem cell fate. Active Wnt/PCP signalling represents one of the earliest events in ISC lineage priming towards the Paneth and enteroendocrine cell fate, preceding lateral inhibition and expression of secretory lineage-specifying genes. Thus, our findings provide a better understanding of the niche signals and redefine the mechanisms underlying ISC lineage hierarchy and segregation. Here we establish the Wnt/Planar cell polarity (PCP) gene Flattop (Fltp) as a unique marker for intestinal LRCs and their distinct secretory fate. We show that Fltp+ cells are characterized by a combined stem cell and secretory gene signature. A subset of Fltp+ cells is classified by label-retention and predominantly locates at position +4, indicative of quiescent stem cells. Strikingly, Fltp+ LRCs are specified by Wnt/PCP signaling in contrast to actively cycling stem cells that rely on the canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway. In mice with disturbed Wnt/PCP signaling, the differentiation of enteroendocrine cells from LRCs is impaired. These findings establish Fltp as a novel marker for intestinal LRCs and implicate Wnt/PCP signaling in cell-cycle exit and commitment of ISCs to the secretory lineage. Taken together, we not only provide a marker to study LRCs in homeostatic and diseased conditions, but also identify the Wnt/PCP signaling pathway as a therapeutic target for colorectal cancer and metabolic disease.

Project description:Oriented cell divisions are critical for the formation and maintenance of structured epithelia. Proper mitotic spindle orientation relies on polarised anchoring of force generators to the cell cortex by the evolutionarily conserved Gαi-LGN-NuMA complex. However, the polarity cues that control cortical patterning of this ternary complex remain largely unknown in mammalian epithelia. Here we identify the membrane-associated protein Annexin A1 (ANXA1) as a novel interactor of LGN in mammary epithelial cells. ANXA1 acts independently of Gαi to instruct the accumulation of LGN and NuMA at the lateral cortex to ensure cortical anchoring of Dynein-Dynactin and astral microtubules and thereby planar alignment of the mitotic spindle. Loss of ANXA1 randomises mitotic spindle orientation, which in turn disrupts epithelial architecture and lumen formation in three-dimensional (3D) primary mammary organoids. Our findings establish ANXA1 as an upstream cortical cue that regulates LGN to direct planar cell divisions during mammalian epithelial morphogenesis.

Project description:Generation of oligodendrocytes (OLs) is a sophisticated multistep process, mechanistic underpinnings of which are not fully understood and demand further investigation. To systematically profile proteome dynamics during human embryonic stem cell (hESC) differentiation into OLs, we applied in-depth quantitative proteomics at different developmental stages and monitored changes in protein abundance using a multiplexed tandem mass tag (TMT) based proteomics approach. Findings: Our proteome data provided a comprehensive protein expression profile that highlighted specific expression clusters based on the protein abundances over the course of human OL lineage differentiation. The proteome profile of OL lineage cells revealed 378 proteins that were specifically up-regulated only in one differentiation stage. In addition, comparative pairwise analysis of differentiation stages demonstrated that abundances of 352 proteins differentially changed between consecutive differentiation time points. Our results highlighted the eminence of the planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling and autophagy (particularly macroautophagy) in the progression of OL lineage differentiation

Project description:We performed single cell transcriptomics analyses in medial prefrontal cortical (mPFC) and basolateral amygdala (BLA). Ketamine induced changes in inflammatory pathways reversing corticosterone effects. Cell-cell communication analyses predicted that planar-cell-polarity (PCP) signaling is decreased after corticosterone but increased following ketamine administration in excitatory neurons. Single cell transcriptomics analyses in dorsolateral prefrontal cortical (dl-PFC) neurons of depressed patients also showed decreased PCP signaling in excitatory neurons. Using chemogenetics, we found that the BLA-projecting infra limbic prefrontal cortex (IL PFC) neurons regulate immobility time in the tail suspension test and food consumption. Using RNAScope, we found, in the excitatory neurons in mPFC, Celsrs and Prickle2 were reduced by corticosterone but increased by ketamine. Using CRISPR-Cas9, we conditionally knocked out Celsrs and Prickle2 in the BLA-projecting IL-PFC neurons and found that ketamine-induced synapse restoration and behavioral remission were abolished. Ketamine affects gene expression and PCP proteins underly long-lasting effects of low-dose ketamine.

Project description:Epithelial polarity is controlled by a polarity machinery including the Rho GTPase CDC42 and Scribble/PAR. By using intestinal stem cell (ISC)-specific deletion of CDC42 in Olfm4-IRES-eGFPCreERT2;CDC42flox/flox mice, we found that ISC-initiated CDC42 loss caused a drastic hyper-proliferation of transit amplifying (TA) cells and disrupted epithelial polarity. CDC42-null crypts displayed expanded TA cell and diminished ISC populations, accompanied by elevated hippo signaling via YAP/TAZ - Ereg and mTOR activation, independent from canonical Wnt signaling. YAP/TAZ conditional knockout restored the balance of ISC/TA cell populations and crypt proliferation but did not rescue the polarity in CDC42-null small intestine. mTOR or EGFR inhibitor treatment of CDC42 KO mice exhibited similar rescuing effects without affecting YAP/TAZ signaling. Inducible ablation of Scribble in intestinal epithelial cells mimics that of CDC42 KO defects including crypt hyperplasia and hippo signaling activation. Mammalian epithelial polarity regulates ISC and TA cell fate and proliferation via a hippo-Ereg-mTOR cascade.
