成体干细胞存在于专门的微环境或小生境中,在调节干细胞行为方面具有重要作用。因此,必须严格控制小生境的数量、大小和功能,以确保可用于组织稳态和伤口修复的干细胞和祖细胞之间的适当平衡。果蝇雄性性腺中的干细胞龛位于睾丸的顶端,其中生殖系干细胞和体干细胞围绕顶端枢纽,这是干细胞自我更新和维持所需的约10-15个体细胞的簇。在这里,我们表明,果蝇睾丸中的体干细胞有助于顶端枢纽和体细胞囊肿细胞系。果蝇上皮钙粘蛋白(DE-钙粘蛋白)的直系同源物是体干细胞维持所需的,因此,顶端枢纽。此外,我们的数据表明,转录抑制因子蜗牛调节体细胞承担和/或维持枢纽细胞身份的能力。这些数据突出了干细胞和生态位之间的动态关系,并提供了对调节生态位大小和功能以支持正常组织稳态和器官再生的遗传程序的深入了解。
Adult stem cells reside in specialized microenvironments, or niches, that have an important role in regulating stem cell behaviour. Therefore, tight control of niche number, size and function is necessary to ensure the proper balance between stem cells and progenitor cells available for tissue homeostasis and wound repair. The stem cell niche in the Drosophila male gonad is located at the tip of the testis where germline and somatic stem cells surround the apical hub, a cluster of approximately 10-15 somatic cells that is required for stem cell self-renewal and maintenance. Here we show that somatic stem cells in the Drosophila testis contribute to both the apical hub and the somatic cyst cell lineage. The Drosophila orthologue of epithelial cadherin (DE-cadherin) is required for somatic stem cell maintenance and, consequently, the apical hub. Furthermore, our data indicate that the transcriptional repressor escargot regulates the ability of somatic cells to assume and/or maintain hub cell identity. These data highlight the dynamic relationship between stem cells and the niche and provide insight into genetic programmes that regulate niche size and function to support normal tissue homeostasis and organ regeneration throughout life.
