EGFR-dependent TOR-independent endocycles support Drosophila gut epithelial regeneration

Abstract: Following gut epithelial damage, epidermal growth factor receptor/mitogen-activated protein kinase (EGFR/MAPK) signalling triggers Drosophila intestinal stem cells to produce enteroblasts (EBs) and enterocytes (ECs) that regenerate the gut. As EBs differentiate into ECs, they become postmitotic, but undergo extensive growth and DNA endoreplication. Here we report that EGFR/RAS/MAPK signalling is required and sufficient to drive damage-induced EB/EC growth. Endoreplication occurs exclusively in EBs and newborn … Show more

“…And in model systems of autocrine stimulation of EGFR, or EGFR overexpression and mutation, consequent transformation has been observed [26, 27]. EGFR may function through activating a network of signaling pathways, involving Ras, phosphoinositide 3-kinase and the signal transducer, activator of transcription family [28-30], and so forth in ccRCC [31, 32]. …”

“…One possibility is by affecting levels of cell cycle regulators such as the transcription factor E2f1, which is essential for both mitotic and endoreplicative cell cycles (Davoli and de Lange, 2011, Fox and Duronio, 2013, Frawley and Orr-Weaver, 2015. This model is based on studies of the polyploid enterocytes of the adult midgut, in which activation of the MAPK pathway via the EGF receptor stabilizes E2f1 protein, leading to transcription activation of cyclin E (Xiang et al, 2017). Because restoring the polyploidization defect of kdm5 mutant prothoracic glands restored developmental timing but not lethality, this model would require that ectopic Torso/MAPK also impact the activity of additional cellular pathways in concert with, or independent from, a direct effect on cell cycle regulators.…”

“…Endoreplication, in addition to inefficient cell mitosis, contributes significantly to tissue regeneration upon damage. The JAK/STAT and the EGFR pathways are activated in both the Drosophila midgut stem cells to induce their mitosis and in EBs and young ECs to promote endoreplication (Jiang, 2009;Xiang, 2017). In the damaged adult epidermis, the Hippo pathway induces compensatory polyploidization, and in the hindgut, pylorus endoreplication increases in response to apoptosis (Losick, 2013).…”
