Le tecniche per generare mosaici genetici in Drosophila sono tra gli strumenti più sofisticati per l&#39;analisi e la manipolazione di funzione del gene 33. Il sistema eyFLP-MARCM ha dimostrato potente e robusto quanto consente l&#39;induzione di marcate visivamente, cloni geneticamente definiti in modo spazialmente ristretta, cioè, in tessuti dove enhancer eyeless è attivo 9,18. Ciò è particolarmente importante quando più lesioni genetiche sono combinati nelle stes...

Il cancro rappresenta uno dei gruppi più geneticamente eterogeneo di malattie, la cui incidenza e la mortalità è drammaticamente in aumento, in particolare tra gli anziani in tutto il mondo. Il cancro ha origine clonale da una cellula tumorale-inizio che sfugge meccanismi oncosoppressori intrinseca e divide fuori controllo. Il progressivo accumulo di lesioni genetiche che promuovono in cooperazione la crescita, la proliferazione e la motilità, mentre inibisce la morte e la differenziazione trasforma la crescita eccessiva benigna iniziale in un tumore altamente maligno, metastatico e mortale. È diventato evidente che, oltre ad alterazioni genetiche, progressione tumorale richiede cambiamenti nello stroma circostante e diafonia tra i tipi di tumore e multiple di cellule (ad esempio, fibroblasti, cellule immunitarie e endoteliali) nel suo microambiente. La comprensione dei principi molecolari alla base la trasformazione maligna comprese le interazioni tumore-stroma è di grande importanza per lo sviluppo di prevenzionezione e screening precoce strategie, così come i trattamenti nuovi ed efficaci per combattere la metastasi del cancro e la resistenza ai farmaci. La mosca della frutta Drosophila melanogaster è diventato un sistema interessante per la ricerca sul cancro 1-4 grazie al suo tempo di generazione veloce, notevole risparmio di segnalazione nodi tra le mosche e gli esseri umani, limitati ridondanza genetica e la ricchezza di strumenti genetici avanzati che facilitano la manipolazione di quasi ogni gene in maniera limitata temporaneamente e spazialmente. Tumori geneticamente definite di varia malignità possono essere riproducibile progettati in Drosophila introducendo GAIN- e la perdita-di-funzione mutazioni in un sottogruppo di progenitori in un tessuto di tipo altrimenti selvaggio con la tecnica MARCM 5. Lo strumento MARCM combina FLP / FRT (FLP ricombinasi / FLP Target Recognition) mediata ricombinazione mitotica 6 con FLP-out 7 e GAL4 / UAS (Upstream sequenza di attivazione) del gene bersaglio 8sistemi di espressione 9. Con questo metodo l&#39;espressione di qualsiasi transgene UAS-based, tra cui oncogene o cDNA proteina fluorescente o ripetizioni di DNA invertite per silenziamento genico dsRNA-indotta, sarà limitato a un clone di cellule che hanno perso uno specifico locus genetico e un repressore GAL4 a causa di ricombinazione (Figura 1A). Patch clonali contrassegnati con verde fluorescente (GFP) o proteine fluorescenti rossi (ad esempio, RFP, DsRed, mCherry) può essere facilmente rintracciato durante lo sviluppo, isolato e analizzato. È importante sottolineare che il loro comportamento può essere direttamente confrontata con l&#39;adiacente tessuti wild type. Così, domande pertinenti alla cella effetti autonome e non autonome di lesioni genetiche possono essere studiati convenientemente. Simile a mammiferi, solo cloni in cui lesioni multiple oncogeni sono combinati diventano maligne in Drosophila e ricapitolano caratteristiche chiave del cancro mammiferi. Essi overproliferate, eludere l&#39;apoptosi, inducono l&#39;infiammazione, diventare immortale e Invasive, in ultima analisi, uccidendo l&#39;ospite 10-17. Qui, descriviamo un protocollo di generare tumori clonali geneticamente definite nel tessuto oculare / antenne e il cervello di Drosophila larve con la tecnica MARCM. Il metodo si basa su un tester magazzino MARCM che esprime la FLP ricombinasi lievito sotto il controllo del enhancer senza occhi (eyFLP) 18,19. In questo modo, cloni GFP-etichettata sono generati in funzione sia epitelio colonnare peripodial e della EAD e neuroepitelio del cervello durante le fasi embrionali e larvali (Figura 1A, B e di riferimento 20). I cloni possono essere facilmente seguiti fino all&#39;età adulta, come la EAD si sviluppa nella capsula occhio adulti, antenna e la testa mentre il neuroepitelio dà luogo a neuroblasti che producono differenziate neuroni del lobo ottiche. Per facilitare estesa caratterizzazione molecolare, funzionale e fenotipica del tessuto mosaico, si descrivano un protocollo per la dissezione del EAD e il cervello dalla terza larve instar e delineare come elaborarli per tre diverse applicazioni: (i) la rilevazione di reporter fluorescenti transgenici e immunostaining, (ii) la quantificazione di invasività tumorale e (iii) analisi dei espressione genica cambia utilizzando una quantitativa real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) o di un high-throughput sequencing mRNA (mRNA-seq) (Figura 1C). Il protocollo immunostaining può essere utilizzato per visualizzare qualsiasi proteina di interesse con un anticorpo specifico. Transgenici reporter trascrizionali fluorescenti forniscono informazioni spazio-temporale comodo e preciso sull&#39;attività di un particolare percorso di segnalazione. reporter specifici Cell-lignaggio, invece, riflettono i cambiamenti qualitativi e quantitativi in ​​popolazioni di cellule all&#39;interno del tessuto del mosaico e tra tumori genotipi distinti. La quantificazione del comportamento invasivo facilita il confronto delle malignità del tumore tra il genotipoS. Infine, il protocollo che descrive la raccolta e l&#39;elaborazione di EAD mosaico per l&#39;isolamento di RNA è adatto sia per applicazioni a valle piccola e grande scala, come trascrizione inversa seguita da rispettivamente qRT-PCR e di tutto il genoma mRNA-Seq,. I dati qualitativi e quantitativi ottenuti da questi test forniscono nuove intuizioni sul comportamento sociale dei tumori clonali. Inoltre, producono una solida base per studi funzionali sul ruolo dei singoli geni, le reti genetiche e microambiente tumorale in diverse fasi e gli aspetti della tumorigenesi.

the drosophila imaginal disc tumor model: visualization and quantification of gene expression and tumor invasiveness using genetic mosaics

Drosophila melanogaster has emerged as a powerful experimental system for functional and mechanistic studies of tumor development and progression in the context of a whole organism. Sophisticated techniques to generate genetic mosaics facilitate induction of visually marked, genetically defined clones surrounded by normal tissue. The clones can be analyzed through diverse molecular, cellular and omics approaches. This study describes how to generate fluorescently labeled clonal tumors of varying malignancy in the eye/antennal imaginal discs (EAD) of Drosophila larvae using the Mosaic Analysis with a Repressible Cell Marker (MARCM) technique. It describes procedures how to recover the mosaic EAD and brain from the larvae and how to process them for simultaneous imaging of fluorescent transgenic reporters and antibody staining. To facilitate molecular characterization of the mosaic tissue, we describe a protocol for isolation of total RNA from the EAD. The dissection procedure is suitable to recover EAD and brains from any larval stage. The fixation and staining protocol for imaginal discs works with a number of transgenic reporters and antibodies that recognize Drosophila proteins. The protocol for RNA isolation can be applied to various larval organs, whole larvae, and adult flies. Total RNA can be used for profiling of gene expression changes using candidate or genome-wide approaches. Finally, we detail a method for quantifying invasiveness of the clonal tumors. Although this method has limited use, its underlying concept is broadly applicable to other quantitative studies where cognitive bias must be avoided.

Per dimostrare le potenzialità della tecnica eyFLP-MARCM per generare patch GFP-marcato su genotipi definiti in Drosophila EAD, sono stati indotti tre tipi di cloni: (1) il controllo che esprimono GFP solo, (2) tumori maligni che esprimono una forma oncogenica del piccolo G-proteina Ras (Ras V12) in un contesto di perdita omozigote di uno scarabocchio gene soppressore del tumore (Scrib 1) e (3) overgrowing ma non invasivo ras V12...

The Drosophila Imaginal Disc Tumor Model: Visualization and Quantification of Gene Expression and Tumor Invasiveness Using Genetic Mosaics

Questo protocollo dimostra come generare tumori clonali fluorescente segnato, geneticamente definite nei dischi immaginali antennali (EAD) occhio Drosophila /. Esso descrive come sezionare la EAD e il cervello dalla terza larve instar e come elaborarli per visualizzare e quantificare i cambiamenti di espressione genica e l&#39;invasività del tumore.
