Interplay between the Endocrine and Innate Systems of Drosphila

果蝇内分泌系统和先天系统之间的相互作用

基本信息

项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Innate immunity is an ancient defense response that evolved with the earliest metazoan creatures, and is the first line of defense against microbial infection. These responses rely on the recognition of microbes by germline-encoded receptors, and drive the production of numerous chemical, biological, and cellular defense responses. In the face of constant microbial assault, innate immunity is essential for the survival of nearly all multicellular organisms. On the other hand, over-exuberant or inappropriate innate immune responses are the underlying cause of morbidity and mortality associated with many infectious and autoimmune diseases. The endocrine system, through steroids as well as sex hormones and vitamin D, has profound pro- or anti- inflammatory effects on the innate immune response. This crosstalk between the innate immune and endocrine systems is found throughout the animal kingdom, and likely evolved with some of the earliest animals. This proposal uses the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster as a model for the study of these interactions. Flies offer many advantages for these studies, including experimental tractability with arguably the most robust genetic system for in vivo studies, extensive knowledge of steroid hormone regulatory networks, and an innate immune system without the complexity of the adaptive immune response. In addition, the Drosophila immune response is an excellent model for vector insect species, and discoveries made in flies are being translated into new approaches to control vector-borne diseases. Furthermore, many aspects of the innate immune responses are highly conserved with mammals, and discoveries made in flies can be translated into paradigm shifting findings in mammals. Particularly relevant for this proposal are the conserved NF-κB signaling pathway, which drives the immediate response to infection, and the modulation of these signaling pathways by steroid hormones. Significantly, steroid signaling is highly conserved between flies and mammals. A thorough mechanistic analysis of how the innate immune response is regulated by steroid hormones in the Drosophila model system will provide a deeper understanding of these ancient regulatory interactions, and are likely to identify new avenues for manipulating these interactions in vector insects and/or mammals. Preliminary data demonstrate that the insect steroid hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone (ecdysone) has a profound enhancing effect on NF-κB dependent innate immune responses. Ecdysone appears to modulate the Drosophila innate response by at least two mechanisms, by controlling expression of a key innate immune receptor and by regulating induction of specific target genes. These results suggest that this steroid hormone functions to sculpt immune responses during development as well as to prime more efficient responses during times of stress. Aims 1 & 2 are designed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying this hormonal control of immunity as well as probe its underlying function(s). In Aim 3, we will test a novel alternative hypothesis that steroid-regulated immune signaling and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) production facilitate developmental cell death.
描述(由申请人提供):先天免疫是一种古老的防御反应,由最早的后生动物进化而来,是抵御微生物感染的第一道防线。这些反应依赖于种系编码受体对微生物的识别,并驱动大量化学、生物和细胞防御反应的产生。面对不断的微生物攻击,先天免疫对几乎所有人的生存都至关重要
