The tumor suppressor Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) is a negative regulator of Wnt signaling and functions in cytoskeletal organization. Disruption of human APC in colonic epithelia initiates benign polyps that progress to carcinoma following additional mutations. The early events of polyposis are poorly understood, as is the role of canonical Wnt signaling in normal epithelial architecture and morphogenesis. To determine the consequences of complete loss of APC in a model epithelium, we generated APC2 APC1 double null clones in the Drosophila wing imaginal disc. APC loss leads to segregation, apical constriction, and invagination that result from transcriptional activation of canonical Wnt signaling. Further, we show that Wnt-dependent changes in cell fate can be decoupled from Wnt-dependent changes in cell shape. Wnt activation is reported to upregulate DE-cadherin in wing discs, and elevated DE-cadherin is thought to promote apical constriction. We find that apical constriction and invagination of APC null tissue are independent of DE-cadherin elevation, but are dependent on Myosin II activity. Further, we show that disruption of Rho1 suppresses apical constriction and invagination in APC null cells. Our data suggest a novel link between canonical Wnt signaling and epithelial structure that requires activation of the Rho1 pathway and Myosin II.
肿瘤抑制因子腺瘤性结肠息肉病(APC)是 Wnt 信号的负调控因子,在细胞骨架组织中发挥作用。人类 APC 在结肠上皮中的破坏会引发良性息肉,这些息肉在发生其他突变后会进展为癌。多发性息肉的早期事件尚不清楚,经典 Wnt 信号在正常上皮结构和形态发生中的作用也不清楚。为了确定 APC 在模型上皮中完全缺失的后果,我们在果蝇翅 imaginal 盘上生成了 APC2 APC1 双缺失克隆。APC 缺失会导致细胞分离、顶端收缩和内陷,这是由于经典 Wnt 信号的转录激活。此外,我们还表明,Wnt 依赖性的细胞命运变化可以与 Wnt 依赖性的细胞形状变化分离。据报道,Wnt 激活可上调 wing discs 中的 DE-cadherin,而升高的 DE-cadherin 被认为可促进顶端收缩。我们发现,APC 缺失组织的顶端收缩和内陷与 DE-cadherin 的升高无关,但依赖于肌球蛋白 II 的活性。此外,我们还表明,Rho1 的破坏可抑制 APC 缺失细胞的顶端收缩和内陷。我们的数据表明,经典 Wnt 信号与上皮结构之间存在一种新的联系,需要激活 Rho1 途径和肌球蛋白 II。
