The tumor suppressor Tip60 inhibits TOR signaling in response to the microbiota to promote autophagy and enterocyte differentiation


ABSTRACT: The differentiation of enterocyte precursors into mature enterocytes is a complex process that is essential for intestinal homeostasis, and the accumulation of undifferentiated precursors is a harbinger of malignant transformation and metastasis. Here, using a Drosophila model, we elucidate the connection between microbial fermentation product acetate, the tumor suppressor and lysine acetylase Tip60, and normal differentiation of enterocytes. Acetate activates Tip60 in enterocytes. Tip60 was previously found to acetylate mTOR. Here we report that Tip60 diminishes signaling through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, which activates autophagy. Blocking Tip60 in enterocytes results in microbial penetration of the intestinal barrier, accumulation of undifferentiated enterocytes, and a failure of the acidic region of the MMG to develop. We previously showed that Tip60 controls innate immune signaling in enteroendocrine cells in response to microbial acetate. This assigns two additional innate immune functions to Tip60, namely destruction of intracellular bacteria via xenophagy and differentiation of the acid-producing cells of the MMG. Because the fermentation pathways of microbiota are highly conserved as is the Tip60 lysine acetyltransferase and AKT/PI3K/mTOR signaling, we propose that a similar process may tie the intestinal microbiota, Tip60, and mTOR to each other and to the intestinal innate immune response and oncogenesis.
