T1 |
116-322 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
Activation of the FOXO transcription factor DAF-16 by reduced insulin/IGF signaling (IIS) is considered to be beneficial in C. elegans due to its ability to extend lifespan and to enhance stress resistance. |
T2 |
437-449 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
In contrast, |
T3 |
468-614 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
causes a tumorous germline phenotype characterized by hyperproliferation of the germline stem cells and rupture of the adjacent basement membrane. |
T4 |
615-702 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
Here we show that cross-talk between DAF-16 and the transforming growth factor ß (TGFß) |
T5 |
720-831 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
protein (BMP) signaling pathway causes germline hyperplasia and results in disruption of the basement membrane. |
T6 |
832-1020 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
In addition to activating MADM/NRBP/hpo-11 gene alone, DAF-16 also directly interacts with both R-SMAD proteins SMA-2 and SMA-3 in the nucleus to regulate the expression of mTORC1 pathway. |
T7 |
1021-1252 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Knocking-down of BMP genes or each of the four target genes in the hypodermis was sufficient to inhibit germline proliferation, indicating a cell-non-autonomously controlled regulation of stem cell proliferation by somatic tissues. |
T8 |
1253-1394 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
We propose the existence of two antagonistic DAF-16/FOXO functions, a cell-proliferative somatic and an anti-proliferative germline activity. |
T9 |
1395-1457 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Whereas germline hyperplasia under reduced IIS is inhibited by |
T10 |
1482-1625 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
, activation of somatic DAF-16 in the presence of active IIS promotes germline proliferation and eventually induces tumor-like germline growth. |
T11 |
1626-1800 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
In summary, our results suggest a novel pathway crosstalk of DAF-16 and TGF-ß/BMP that can modulate mTORC1 at the transcriptional level to cause stem-cell hyperproliferation. |
T12 |
1801-1967 |
DRI_Challenge |
denotes |
Such cell-type specific differences may help explaining why human FOXO activity is considered to be tumor-suppressive in most contexts, but may become oncogenic, e.g. |
T13 |
1968-2006 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
in chronic and acute myeloid leukemia. |
