Project description:Jarid2 was recently identified as an important component of the mammalian Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), where it has a major effect on PRC2 recruitment in mouse embryonic stem cells. Although Jarid2 is conserved in Drosophila, it has not previously been implicated in Polycomb (Pc) regulation. Therefore, we purified Drosophila Jarid2 and its associated proteins and find that Jarid2 associates with all of the known canonical PRC2 components, demonstrating a conserved physical interaction with PRC2 in flies and mammals. Furthermore, in vivo studies with Jarid2 mutants in flies demonstrate that among several histone modifications tested, only H3K27 methylation, the mark implemented by PRC2, was affected. Genome-wide profiling of Jarid2, Su(z)12 and H3K27me3 occupancy by ChIP-seq indicates that Jarid2 and Su(z)12 have a very similar distribution pattern on chromatin. However, Jarid2 and Su(z)12 occupancy levels at some genes are significantly different with Jarid2 being present at relatively low levels at many Pc response elements (PREs) of certain Homeobox (Hox) genes, providing a rationale for why Jarid2 was never identified in Pc screens. Gene expression analyses show that Jarid2 and E(z) (a canonical PRC2 component) are required not only for transcriptional repression but might also function in active transcription. Identification of Jarid2 as a conserved PRC2 interactor in flies provides an opportunity to begin to probe some of its novel functions in Drosophila development.

Project description:We have used microarrays to identify genes expressed and required for the second mitotic wave (SMW) during eye development. Eye discs expressing Spitz under the control of GMR Gal4 have no SMW as Spitz promotes G1 arrest, ectopic differentiation also occures. To control for the ectopic differentiation, Spi expressing eye antennal discs were compared to eye antennal discs expressing activated RasV12. In discs expresseding RasV12 under the control of GMRGal4 the SMW takes place normally prior to any ectopic differentiation. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Experiment Overall Design: Drosophila eye antennal imaginal discs expressing either UAS RasV12 or UAS Spi under the control of GMRGal4 were dissected from 3rd instar larvae for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Cancer represents a complex family of diseases, characterized by the uncontrolled malignant growth of a particular cell type and by metastatic dissemination of these transformed cells to secondary sites. The hallmark tumor features emerge as a result of aberrant cellular signaling and pathological gene expression driven by cooperating genetic lesions. Being the convergence points of signaling pathways, transcription factors play crucial roles in cancer. Here, we define a transcription factor network that triggers an abnormal gene expression program promoting malignancy of clonal tumors, generated in Drosophila imaginal disc epithelium by overexpressing oncogenic Ras (RasV12) in a background lacking the tumor suppressor gene scribble (scrib1). We show that the nuclear receptor Ftz-F1 and the ETS-domain transcription factor Ets21c are upregulated in the rasV12scrib1 tumors in response to activated Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling. Depletion of either Ftz-F1 or Ets21c improves viability of Drosophila larvae suffering from tumors, and this effect can be further enhanced by simultaneous removal of the Jun-dimerizing partner Fos. We identified Fos as a key mediator of JNK-induced differentiation defects and further show that Ftz-F1 and Fos are required for tumor invasiveness. However, only Ets21c can efficiently substitute for JNK and cooperate with RasV12 to induce invasive tumors that recapitulate hallmarks of malignant rasV12scrib1 tumors including elevated matrix metalloprotease (MMP1) and insulin-like peptide 8 (Dilp8) expression. In conclusion, our study provides functional evidence for a network of cooperating transcription factor that dictates target gene expression and promotes tumor phenotypes in response to aberrant JNK signaling. 20 samples analyzed, 4 control samples

Project description:Cancer cells have abnormal gene expression patterns, however, the transcription factors and the architecture of the regulatory network that drive cancer specific gene expression profiles is often not known. Here we studied a model of Ras-driven invasive tumorigenesis in Drosophila larval epithelial tissues and combined in vivo genetic analyses with high-throughput sequencing and computational modeling to decipher the regulatory logic of tumor cells. Surprisingly, we discovered that tumor specific gene expression is driven by a highly interconnected network composed of few transcription factors. These are: Stat, Mef2, the AP-4 homolog Cropped, the nuclear receptor Ftz-f1, the bHLH factors Myc and Taiman, and the AP-1 transcription factors Kayak, ATF-3, Pdp1, and dCEBPG. Many of these transcription factors are ectopically expressed and/or hyperactivated in human tumors. The members of this tumor master regulatory network are predicted to directly regulate the majority of the tumor specific gene expression profile. Similar to networks of master regulators that control organ development and cellular differentiation, there is a predicted high degree of co-regulation of target genes, and these network members are required in multiple eptihelia for tumor growth and invasiveness. We further found that Yki/Sd and bZIP/AP-1 factors, the downstream transcription factors of the Hippo and JNK pathways, initiate cellular reprogramming by activating several transcription factors of this network. Thus, modeling regulatory networks identified an ectopic yet highly ordered network of master regulators that control cancer cell specific gene expression.

Project description:Cancer cells have abnormal gene expression profiles, however, the transcription factors and the architecture of the regulatory network that drive cancer specific gene expression is often not known. Here we studied a model of Ras-driven invasive tumorigenesis in Drosophila epithelial tissues and combined in vivo genetics with high-throughput sequencing and computational modeling to decipher the regulatory logic of tumor cells. Surprisingly, we discovered that the bulk of the tumor specific gene expression is driven by an ectopic network of a few transcription factors that are overexpressed and/or hyperactivated in tumor cells. These factors are Stat, AP-1, the bHLH proteins Myc and AP-4, the nuclear hormone receptor Ftz-f1, the nuclear receptor coactivator Taiman/AIB1, and Mef2. Notably, many of these transcription factors are also hyperactivated in human tumors. Bioinformatics analysis predicted that these factors directly regulate the majority of the tumor specific gene expression, that they are interconnected by extensive cross-regulation, and that they show a high degree of co-regulation of target genes. Indeed, the factors of this network were required in multiple epithelia for tumor growth and invasiveness and knock-down of individual factors caused a reversion of the tumor specific expression profile, but had no observable effect on normal tissues. We further found that the Hippo pathway effector Yki/Sd was strongly activated in tumor cells and initiated cellular reprogramming by activating several transcription factors of this network. Thus, modeling regulatory networks identified an ectopic yet highly ordered network of master regulators that control tumor cell specific gene expression.

Project description:The formation of neuronal connections requires the precise guidance of developing axons towards their targets. In the Drosophila visual system, photoreceptor neurons (R cells) project from the eye into the brain. These cells are grouped into some 750 clusters comprised of eight photoreceptors or R-cells each. R cells fall into three classes, R1-R6, R7 and R8. Posterior R8 cells are the first to project axons into the brain. How these axons select a specific pathway is not known. Here, we used a microarray-based approach to identify genes expressed in R7 and R8 neurons as they extend into the brain. We used microarray analysis to measure gene expression changes when the transcription factor Runt is misexpressed in eye discs and conversely when eye discs are rendered mutant for the Senseless transcription factor.
