Project description:The consitutive activation of the JAK/STAT signalling cascade is reponsible for the majority of meyoproliferative disorders in humans, a disease that is also conserved in Drosophila. A gain-of-function mutation in the Drosophila JAK kinase leads to blood cell (haemocyte) overproliferation which eventually is manifested as black melanotic tumors. Haemocyte-like Drosophila Kc167 cells were used to identify downstream target genes of the JAK/STAT pathway which may be responsible for tumour generation and progression. Experiment Overall Design: Kc167 cells were activated with the principal JAK/STAT pathway ligand Unpaired (UPD) in a time course manner. To this end, for each transcript profiling condition and time point, biological duplicates were activated with UPD or Mock conditioned media for 30 min, and total RNA was extracted 2, 4 or 10h after initial addition of conditioned media. 12 samples were used for hybridization to the arrays.
Project description:JAK/STAT pathway plays important roles in controlling Drosophila intestinal homeostasis and regulating the ISC proliferation and differentiation. However,the downstream targets of its transcription factor-STAT92E remain largely unknown.To further identify the regualtory mechanisms of the JAK/STAT pathway in controlling intestinal homeostasis,we performed the ChIP-Seq assay with mouse raised STAT92E antibody using JAK/STAT signaling highly activated adult intestines.Through the ChIP assay, we have identified over 1000 significant peaks (p<0.01) around the putative targets.The well-characterized JAK/STAT downstream targets including Domeless,Socs36E,STAT92E and chinmo were identified in our ChIP assay,indicating that our experiment is workable to identify novel JAK/STAT downstream targets in adult intestines.This work will provide insights into our understanding of regulatory mechanisms of JAK/STAT signaling during Drosophila intestinal development.

Project description:Long-term consumption of fatty foods is associated with obesity, macrophage activation and inflammation, metabolic imbalance, and a reduced lifespan. We took advantage of Drosophila genetics to investigate the role of macrophages and the pathway(s) that govern their response to dietary stress. Flies fed a lipid-rich diet presented with increased fat storage, systemic JAK-STAT activation, reduced insulin sensitivity and hyperglycaemia, and a shorter lifespan. Drosophila macrophages scavenged lipids and produced the type 1 cytokine upd3, in a scavenger-receptor (croquemort) and JNK-dependent manner. Genetic depletion of macrophages, or macrophage-specific silencing of upd3 decreased JAK-STAT activation and rescued insulin sensitivity and the lifespan of Drosophila, but did not decrease fat storage. NF-M-NM-:B signalling made no contribution to the phenotype observed. These results identify an evolutionarily conserved M-bM-^@M-^Xscavenger receptor-JNK-Type 1 cytokineM-bM-^@M-^Y cassette in macrophages, which controls glucose metabolism and reduces lifespan in Drosophila maintained on a lipid-rich diet via activation of the JAK-STAT pathway Long-term consumption of fatty foods is associated with obesity, macrophage activation and inflammation, metabolic imbalance, and a reduced lifespan.

Project description:NFIC1, the longest isoform of NFIC, is essential for the regulation on spatiotemporal expressions of drug-metabolizing genes in liver. However, the role of NFIC1 in breast cancer is not clear. Here we showed that increased expression of NFIC1 suppressed the migration and invasion of MCF-7 cells. The activation of interferon-associated Jak-STAT pathway was enhanced with NFIC1 overexpression. NFIC1 overexpression upregulated the expression of IFNB1, IFNL1, IFNL2 and IFNL3. Treatment with Jak-STAT pathway inhibitors, Filgotinib or Ruxolitinib, reversed the suppressive effects of NFIC1 overexpression on migration and invasion. In addition, we found that MX1 and MX2 were the target genes of NFIC1- activated Jak-STAT pathway, which mediated the migration and invasion of MCF-7 cells. These results demonstrated that NFIC1 inhibited the migration and invasion in MCF-7 cells through interferon mediated activation of Jak-STAT pathway, indicating that Jak-STAT pathway might be a potential therapeutic target for preventing breast cancer metastasis.
Project description:NCBS Curation Comments:
This model shows the control mechanism of Jak-Stat pathway, here SOCS1 (Suppressor of cytokine signaling-I) was identified as the negative regulator of Jak and STAT signal transduction pathway. This is the knockout version of Jak-Stat pathway in this model the SOCS1 has been knocked out i.e it formation is not shown. The graphs are almost similar to the graphs as shown in the paper but STAT1n graph has some ambiguities. Thanks to Dr Satoshi Yamada for clarifying some of those ambiguities and providing the values used in simulations.
Biomodels Curation Comments:
The model reproduces the figures 2 (B,D,F,H,J,L,N) corresponding to JAK/STAT activation in SOCS1 knock out cells. The model was successfully tested on MathSBML
