Homeodomain transcription factor Cut is specifically expressed in Drosophila adult renal stem cells.

(A) A schematic diagram of two pairs of renal tubules (red) that converge at ureters and connect to the digestive tract at the midgut (green)-hindgut (grey) boundary of an adult fly (A). The area encircled by dashed line in (A) is magnified and shown in (B). (B) Close-up schematics of larval (left) and adult (right) intestine and renal tubules. Note that each pair of renal tubules merges together at the ureter that is further divided into lower and upper regions. Adult renal stem cells (RSC; yellow) are present in adult but not larval renal tubules. The large principal cells (PC) in lower ureter (blue) during larval stage are replaced with intermediate sized new principal cells (red) during adult stage. (C) Progenitors marked by esgts>CD8-GFP (green) reside in the third instar larval (L3) midgut. White bracket indicates the lower ureter region containing Cutprincipal cells (blue). (D–E) During adult stage, Esg+ stem cells are present in both midgut and renal tubules. White bracket indicates lower ureter containing Cut+ Esgprincipal cells (D). Arrows indicate furthest detectable RSCs on renal tubules (E). (F–G’) Cut is expressed in adult renal stem cells (arrowheads in F, F’) but not intestinal stem cells (ISC; arrowheads in G, G’). (F’,G’) show single-channel images for Cut immunostaining. (H) MARCM clones induced at early larval stages and examined at early adult stage. Clones containing multiple cells appeared only at lower ureter (bracket), whereas single-cell clones containing Cut+ progenitors (arrowheads) appeared beyond that region. (I, I’) MARCM clones induced at lower ureter contain Cut+ small diploid RSCs (white arrowhead) and Cut+ large polyploid principal cells (yellow arrowhead). The inset shows single-channel image for Cut immunostaining (I’). Neither ISCs (cyan arrowhead) nor polyploid enterocytes (ECs; pink arrowhead) expressed Cut (I’). (J, K) Distinct composition of ISC (J) and RSC (K) lineages. EE: enteroendocrine. Scale bar: 50 μm (C–E); 25 μm (F–I’).

Identification of Cut as a specific adult renal stem cell marker.

(A) schematic drawing adapted from Wessing and Eichelberg (1978) of Drosophila midgut (green), hindgut (grey), ureter (dark pink) and renal tubules (pink). Note that cyan arrowhead indicates the boundary between lower and upper tubules. (B) Genome-wide RNAi-based screen identified Cut as a candidate mediating the MP-to-RP identity switch. Compared with wild type control, specific knockdown of cut in midgut progenitors, by esg-Gal4, resulted in the lack of lower ureter region (bracket) and ectopic appearance of Esg- diploid cells along renal tubules (arrowheads). (C) Cut expression levels in adult renal stem cells (arrowheads) are sharply reduced upon cut knockdown and elevated upon Cut overexpression. Scale bar, 25 μm.

Note that Cut+ progenitors are marked with white arrowheads (B) or yellow brackets (C–G). Also note that Cutprincipal cells in the lower ureter (pink arrowheads in A–D) are engulfed and deposited to the intestinal lumen at 3 hr APF (pink arrowheads in E). Upon differentiation into Cutprincipal cells (cyan arrowheads in F and G), Esg+ progenitors exhibit reduced levels of Cut expression (white arrowheads in G). (H) Quantification of the number of Cut+ progenitors per intestine-renal tubule (I-R) sample at different developmental stages (n = 7–13). (I) Schematic representations of emergence, migration and differentiation of Esg+ Cut+ RPs. Scale bar, 25 μm.

Cut dictates midgut-to-renal progenitor identity switch.

(A–B) Genetic schema (A) and experimental timeline (B) of the lineage-tracing experiment. (C–F’) Lineage-tracing analysis of Esg+ progenitors in ureter and lower tubule regions. Wild type RPs in lower ureter (white brackets in C, C’) differentiate into Cut+ polyploid principal cells (white arrowheads in C, C’). Upon cut depletion, Esg+ progenitors in ureter and lower tubule regions give rise to Cut- Pros+ diploid cells (white arrowheads in D’, F, F’). Note that the cut-RNAi renal tubules lack the entire lower ureter region (D, D’). (G–J) Wild type control MARCM clones residing in the midgut but not ureter region (pink arrowheads in G and I) contain Pros+ EE cells (white arrowhead in G) and Pdm1+ ECs (white arrowhead in I). In sharp contrast, cut mutant clones at ureter region contain Pros+ EEs (yellow arrowheads in H) or Pdm1+ ECs (yellow arrowheads in J). (K–L) Quantification of the length of ureter (K; **p<0.001 (n = 11)) and the total number of principal cells (L; **p<0.0001 (n = 7–9)) in wild type or esgts >cut-IR adult animals. (M) Control or Cut-overexpressing (Cut-OE) MARCM clones were induced at third instar larval stages, dissected at late-pupal stage and stained with Pdm1 (red) and Cut (gray). Note that 100% polyploid cells in WT control clones are Pdm1+ Cut- (n = 69). By contrast, 91% polyploid cells in Cut-OE clones are Pdm1- Cut+, with the rest 9% expressing low levels of Pdm1 and Cut (n = 66). (N) Schematic depiction of Cut as a MP-to-RP identity switch. Scale bars, 50 μm (C–D’), 25 μm (E–F’, I, J) and 10 μm (G, H, M).

Cut-depleted Esg+ progenitors in renal tubules behave exactly like midgut progenitors.

(A,B) Time-course analysis of EE production in renal tubules of esgts > cut RNAi flies. (A) At 45 hr APF, Pros+ EEs (white arrowheads) start to appear in wild type control midgut but not renal tubules. Pros+ EEs (yellow arrowheads) also start to emerge in esgts > cut RNAi renal tubules. (B) At 60 hr APF, around half of Esg+ cells in wild type control midgut (white arrowheads) or esgts > cut RNAi renal tubules (yellow arrowheads) are Pros+ EEs. (C–E) Nc82+ (arrowheads in C), AstA+ (arrowheads in D) or Rab3-GFP+ Pros+ (arrowheads in E) EEs form in esgts > cut RNAi but not in WT control renal tubules. Note that Nc82 is the antigen of EE marker Brp. Scale bars, 20 μm (A,B) and 25 μm (C–E).

Notch signaling modulates EE and EC differentiation on renal tubules.

(A–D) At 60 hr APF, Notch signaling reporter NRE-GFP is present in Esg+ Pros- MPs (white open arrowhead, inset in A) but not RPs (cyan arrowhead, inset in B) of wild type control animals. By contrast, upon cut depletion, Esg+ Pros- progenitors on renal tubules (yellow open arrowhead, inset in D) also express NRE-GFP, adjacent to sibling Pros+ EEs (yellow closed arrowhead, inset in D). (E) Pros is asymmetrically localized to the basal side of dividing wild type midgut progenitors or esgts > cut-RNAi progenitors on renal tubules. (F,G) Notch knockdown driven by esg-Gal4 leads to a sharp reduction in number of GFP+ progenitors and a two-fold increase in number of Pros+ EEs in both midgut and renal tubule regions. Quantification of the relative number of EEs in midgut or renal tubules of indicated genotypes is shown in (F). **p<0.0001 (n = 6–8). (H) Notch overexpression driven by esg-Gal4 leads to a sharp reduction in number of GFP+ progenitors, whereas coexpression of cut-RNAi with Notch leads to differentiation of progenitors into Pdm1+ ECs (arrowheads) along renal tubules. Scale bars, 20 μm (A–D,H), 5 μm (E) and 25 μm (G).

Wg morphogen acts as a spatial cue selecting the pool of future RPs.

(A–E) Wg ligand expression, as labeled by wg-Gal4 >CD8-RFP, is highly restricted to a narrow band of cells proximal to the midgut-hindgut boundary at the stages of second instar (A) or third instar larva (B), or 0 hr (C), 0.5 hr (D) or 1 hr (E) APF. NRE-GFP marks peripheral cells encasing midgut progenitor islands. Note that Cut+ progenitors (red, nuclear signal; indicated by arrowheads) are in close proximity to the Wg-producing band. Cyto: cytoplasmic; nuc: nuclear. (F) Expression pattern of Wg signaling reporter Fz3-GFP at different developmental stages. Closed and open arrowheads indicate Fz3-GFP+ and Fz3-GFP- progenitors respectively. (G,H) wg-Gal4>white-RNAi or wg-Gal4>wg-RNAi midgut-hindgut boundary region stained with Cut (nuclear signal; arrowheads in G). Note that white-RNAi serves here as a negative control. (I) Upon overexpression of Sgg-CA or TCF-DN, Esg+ progenitors in closest proximity to the band of wg-producing cells (brackets) fail to express Cut. (J) Upon overexpression of Wg or Arm-S10, Esg+ progenitors far away from the midgut-hindgut boundary ectopically turn on Cut expression (arrowheads). (K) Schematic drawings of the progressive MP (green)-RP (yellow) identity switch in the range of Wg morphogen gradient (purple) along the developmental axis. Scale bars, 25 μm.

Wg signaling is both necessary and sufficient for inducing cut expression in Esg+ progenitors.

(A–D) Time-course analysis of Wg expression, as indicated by wg-lacZ, at the stages of second instar larvae (A), third instar larvae (B), 0 hr APF (C) or 1 hr APF (D). (E) MARCM clonal analysis of WT control or dsh mutant progenitors. Midgut progenitors produce Pros+ EEs (yellow arrowheads) in the present or absent of Dsh. By contrast, Pros+ EEs (yellow arrowheads) are produced at renal tubules only upon Dsh inactivation. (F,G) Compared with WT control, a significantly increased number of Esg+ Cutrenal progenitors migrate onto renal tubules upon Wg overexpression. Quantification of the number of Esg+ Cutrenal progenitors in the ureter region of genotypes as indicated is shown in (G). **p<0.0001 (n = 5–8).(H) Cut expression (yellow brackets) is detected in control but not wg(KO; NRT-Wg) homozygous progenitors in proximal to the midgut-hindgut boundary at metamorphosis. Scale bars, 25 μm.

(B) Quantification of the relative Br-C fluorescent intensity (FI) in Esg+ progenitors at different developmental stages. *p<0.0001 (n = 14–16). Note that the Br-C expression levels here are assessed with Br-core antibody that detects all Br isoforms. (C) Wg overexpression-induced ectopic expression of Cut in Esg+ MPs (arrowheads) is completely abolished upon br knockdown. (D) Expression pattern of Wg signaling reporter Fz3-GFP of indicated genotypes at 0 hr APF. Note that Fz3-GFP expression in Esg+ progenitors is diminished upon TCF-DN but not br-RNAi expression. (E) Wg and ecdysone signaling pathways converge on cut induction.

(A,B) EcR is expressed in essentially all cell types in the midgut, including polyploid ECs (open arrowheads) and Esg+ progenitors (closed arrowheads), at similar levels at different developmental stages (A). Quantification of relative EcR fluorescence intensity in Esg+ progenitors is shown in (B). NS, not significant (n = 10). (C) Depletion of ecdysone early response genes Eip74EF or Eip75B in Esg+ progenitors showed no effect on cut induction in future RPs (arrowheads). (D–H) Time-course analysis of dynamic Br-C expression in Esg+ progenitors (arrowheads) at the stages of mid (B) or late (C) third instar larvae, 0 hr (D), 0.5 hr (E) or 1 hr (F) APF. Note that Br-C expression levels in Esg+ progenitors gradually increase (B–D) and reach its peak at around 0.5 hr APF (E), followed by a gradual decline (F). Note that quantification of Br-C expression at different stages is shown in Figure 5B. (I) Ectopic expression of Cut in midgut progenitors (arrowheads), induced by Arm-S10 overexpression, is completely abolished by coexpression of broad-RNAi. Scale bars, 25 μm.

(B) Coimmunoprecipitation (CoIP) of Br isoforms and Arm in HEK293T cell extracts. In these and subsequent panels, GFP served as a negative control. (C) Cut expression pattern in Esg+ progenitors of indicated genotypes at 9–10 hr before puparium formation (BPF). (D) Expression pattern of Br-Z1 and Br-Z2 at midgut-hindgut boundary region at 0 hr APF. (E) Quantification of relative Br-Z2 fluorescent intensity (FI) in Esg+ progenitors at different developmental stages. *p<0.0001 (n = 11–16). (F) Schematic drawings of Br-Z2 domains and truncated constructs. (G) CoIP of FLAG-tagged Br-Z2, HA-tagged Arm and Myc-tagged TCF in HEK293T cell extracts. (H–J) Specific Arm and Br-Z2 interaction detected by in situ PLA (proximity ligation assay) in the nuclei of Drosophila S2 cells. (H) Schematic diagram showing the principles of PLA. (I) S2 cells transfected with the indicated plasmids were detected for PLA signal (red). Note that the bottom panel shows single-channel images for PLA signal. Also note that ELL is a subunit of the Super Elongation Complex (SEC) that regulates gene transcription. Myc-tagged ELL serves here as a negative control. Quantification of the percentage of PLA foci number per transfected cell is shown in (J; n = 20–44). (K) CoIP of full-length (FL) or truncated FLAG-Br-Z2 and Myc-TCF. Scale bars, 25 μm (C, D) and 5 μm (I).

Dynamic expression of Br-Z2 and Br-Z1 during metamorphosis.

(A) Antibody raised against Br-Z2 is highly specific. Specific expression of Br-Z2 in Esg+ progenitors (white arrowheads) but not polyploid ECs (cyan arrowhead) at 0.5 hr APF, detected with a newly-raised antibody, is drastically reduced upon Esg+ progenitor-specific knockdown of Br. (B) Br-Z1 is not expressed in midgut or renal tubule region until 5 hr APF. Note that at 9 hr APF, Br-Z1 is ubiquitously expressed in essentially all cell types (arrowheads). Scale bar, 25 μm.

Ecdysone signaling and Wg pathway might intersect through a poising-and-bridging mechanism to dictate midgut-to-renal lineage reprogramming.

(A) A graphic model of the MP-RP identity switch. Cut (orange), induced by Wg morphogen gradient (purple; spatial cue) in conjunction with the steroid hormone ecdysone (grey; temporal cue), dictates midgut-to-renal progenitor identity switch at the onset of metamorphosis. (B) A working model depicting the poising-and-bridging mechanism. Note that the red circle represents cohesin, which is likely to be important for stabilizing the enhancer-promoter looping of cut. (C–E) Downregulation of either cohesin subunit SA or cohesin loading factor Nipped-B abolished cut induction (C) but showed no effects on Fz3-GFP (D) or cut-intron2-enhancer-GFP (E) expression in future RPs. Scale bars, 25 μm.
