Each bar shows the mean ± SD, n = 1001. (D) Correlation between the cytoneme length and the number of pairwise interactions at Eii=15. Each dot represents the length and the number of interactions for individual cytonemes. The line shows the best fit linear regression (Pearson r = 0.7939).

Heterophilic binding of Ihog to Hh dominates over Ihog-mediated homophilic trans interactions.

(A) S2 cells were transfected with plasmids expressing Ihog, Hh, or HhN along with expression plasmids for either GFP or mCherry as indicated. Cells were dissociated by trypsin treatment and then mixed for 12 hr to allow aggregation to occur. The top and middle rows show the mixing of cells expressing only the fluorescent proteins or together with Hh, HhN, or Ihog. Scale bar, 100 µm. The bottom row shows the indicated zoomed area from the middle row images. Scale bar, 50 µm. (B) Representative examples used for quantification of cell patterns in aggregates. The center cells in cell aggregates are indicated by purple asterisks. The neighboring cells are counted and labeled with yellow numbers. (C, D) The average numbers of total neighbor cells and ‘like’ (expressing the same proteins and thus the same color as the center cell) neighbor cells were quantified. Each bar shows the mean ± SD, n = 30 center cells (from n > 3 experiments). The unpaired two-tailed t-test was used for statistical analysis. ****p<0.0001.

Ihog-mediated homophilic trans interaction in S2 cells occurs in the presence of recombinant HhN.

(A) S2 cells were transfected with plasmids expressing wild-type Ihog along with GFP or mCherry. Cells were dissociated by trypsin treatment and then mixed in the absence or presence of HhN (30 μM) for 4 hr. Scale bar, 50 µm. (B) The aggregation effect from experiments like those shown in (A) was quantified as the ratio of transfected cells within a cluster to total transfected cells. Each bar shows the mean ± SD from n = 30 different images. The unpaired two-tailed t-test was used for statistical analysis.

Figure 6—figure supplement 2
Subcellular localization of Hh and HhN in S2 cells.

Untransfected S2 cell or S2 cells were transfected with constructs expressing GFP, cDNA encoding full-length Hh to generate Hh proteins that are fully processed and dual lipid modified, or cDNA encoding the amino-terminal signaling fragment HhN to generate cholesterol-free HhN. 48 hr after transfection, the S2 cells were fixed and stained with Phalloidin to detect actin (red) and the antibodies against the indicated proteins (green). Phalloidin stains filopodia-like structures and the submembrane actin network. Note that the untransfected cell is from the control cells transfected with only GFP and is from the same experiment and image. The GFP cell is partially visible in the untransfected cell image (left corner) and the nontransfected cell is partially visible in the lower right of the GFP cell image. Scale bar, 5 µm.

Figure 6—figure supplement 3
Comparison of the amount of Ihog and Hh in S2 cells analyzed in the cell-mixing assay.

Aliquots of the same S2 cells analyzed in the cell mixing assay in Figure 6 were lysed before cell mixing (Lane one and Lane 4). To indirectly compare the relative amounts of Ihog and Hh, lysates were collected from S2 cells that were transfected in parallel with plasmids expressing Ihog-GFP or Hh-GFP (Lane 2 and Lane 3). The amount of Ihog (red rectangle) or Hh (orange rectangle) was detected by immunoblotting with anti-Ihog or anti-Hh, respectively. The amount of GFP-tagged Ihog (blue rectangles) or GFP-tagged Hh (green rectangles) was also detected by anti-GFP. The intensity of the indicated bands was measured by ImageJ. Comparison of the intensity shows that S2 transfected cells from the same experiment used for the aggregation assays express comparable amounts (~1.5:1) of Ihog and Hh proteins.

In silico simulation estimates the difference in strength between the heterophilic Ihog-Hh and homophilic Ihog-Ihog trans interactions.

(A, B) Representative steady-state patterns of the multicellular system from simulations with differentially labeled Ihog-expressing cells (A) and mixed Ihog- and Hh-expressing cells (B). (C) The average numbers of total neighbor cells and 'like' neighbor cells were quantified for scenarios (A, I~I bars) and (B, I~H bars). Data were obtained from 300 random snapshots. Each error bar shows the mean ± SD. (D, E) Blue lines are the quantified relationships between the average numbers of total neighbor cells (D) and 'like' neighbor cells (E) in a mixed system as a function of the difference in strength between the heterophilic Ihog-Hh (γIH) and homophilic Ihog-Ihog (γII) trans interactions. For comparison, the red dashed lines mark the values obtained from homogeneous system with differentially labeled Ihog-expressing cells. The shaded areas outline the standard deviations around the corresponding central average values. Each data point was calculated using 300 random snapshots from the simulation. (F) Simulation with γIH:γII=30, starting with an aggregate formed from 50 Ihog-expressing cells, then 50 Hh-expressing cells were added into the simulation space (left). The energy-based evolution leads to the surface engagement of Hh-expressing cells onto the Ihog-expressing cell aggregate (middle) and eventually a checkerboard-like morphological pattern (right) appears as the simulation reaches steady state. (G) S2 cells were transfected with plasmids expressing Hh and GFP or Ihog and mCherry as indicated. Forty-eight hr after transfection, cells were resuspended by pipetting and then mixed as indicated. Cell mixture was incubated with gentle rotating for 12 hr. At the indicated time points, an aliquot of cells was removed and imaged with a confocal microscope. Representative images from three experiments are shown. Scale bar, 50 µm.

A model of the competitive coordination of the dual roles of Ihog in homophilic adhesion and signal reception.

Diagram illustrating Ihog-Ihog homophilic trans interaction and Ihog-Hh heterophilic interaction in the wing imaginal disc epithelium. For simplicity, only a small number of the apical and lateral interactions are shown. Based on the differential affinity (Ptc-Ihog-Hh > Ihog-Hh > Ihog-Ihog) and the competitive binding between Ihog for itself (in trans) and for Hh, we propose a model in which Ihog-Ihog trans interactions promote and stabilize cytoneme-cytoneme contacts, thereby facilitating the ‘capture’ of Hh ligands, released from cytonemes of Hh-expressing cells, by Ihog on cytonemes of adjacent cells, ultimately reaching Ihog on cytonemes of Hh-receiving cells. The stronger Hh-Ihog interaction triggers release of Ihog from the weaker trans-homophilic interaction, enabling the receptor-ligand complex to transport along the cytoneme. Ultimately, the strongest interaction of Hh with the Ptc and Ihog complex results in Hh signal transduction. Both Hh release and cytoneme formation occur at the basal side of the wing disc epithelium, making weaker Ihog-Ihog trans interactions accessible for the replacement by stronger Ihog-Hh interactions along the cytonemes, where Ihog also functions as the receptor for Hh transport and reception. In contrast, farther from the source of secreted Hh, heterophilic Ihog-Hh interactions would be infrequent along the lateral side of epithelia, where the trans Ihog-Ihog interaction plays an essential role in maintaining A/P cell segregation and lineage restriction. The heparan sulfate necessary for the Ihog-Hh or trans Ihog-Ihog interactions may be supplied by Dally or Dlp, either as the membrane-associated forms of these glypicans or as the form released upon shedding.
