Progenitors of the thoracic tracheal system of adult Drosophila (tracheoblasts) arrest in G2 during larval life and rekindle a mitotic program subsequently. G2 arrest is dependent on ATR-dependent phosphorylation of Chk1 that is actuated in the absence of detectable DNA damage. We are interested in the mechanisms that activate ATR/Chk1 (Kizhedathu et al., 2018, 2020). Here we report that levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are high in arrested tracheoblasts and decrease upon mitotic re-entry. High ROS is dependent on expression of Duox, an H2O2 generating-Dual Oxidase. ROS quenching by overexpression of Superoxide Dismutase 1, or by knockdown of Duox, abolishes Chk1 phosphorylation and results in precocious proliferation. Tracheae deficient in Duox, or deficient in both Duox and regulators of DNA damage-dependent ATR/Chk1 activation (ATRIP/TOPBP1/ Claspin), can induce phosphorylation of Chk1 in response to micromolar concentrations of H2O2 in minutes. The findings presented reveal that H2O2 activates ATR/Chk1 in tracheoblasts by a non-canonical, potentially direct, mechanism.

Rankl Stimulation

Background:Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are one of the significant factors of chemical or physical cell signaling in a wide variety of cell types including skeletal cells. Receptor activator of NF-βB ligand (RANKL) induces generation of intracellular ROS, which act as second messengers in RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis. Dual oxidase maturation factor 1 (Duoxa1) was first identified as aDrosophilaNumb-interacting protein (NIP), and has been associated with the maturation of ROS generating enzymes including dual oxidases (Duox1 and Duox2). In the progression of osteoclast differentiation using mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs), we identified that only Duoxa1 level showed an effective change upon RANKL stimulation, but not Duox1, Duox2, and Duoxa2.Objectives:we hypothesized that Duoxa1 could independently act as a second messenger for RANKL stimulation and regulate ROS production during osteoclast differentiation.Methods:Using siRNA or retrovirus transduction and knockdown of Duoxa1 via siRNAResults:Duoxa1 level gradually increased during RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation. We found that Duoxa1 regulated RANKL-stimulated osteoclast formation and bone resorption positively. knockdown of Duoxa1 via siRNA decreased the RANKL-induced ROS production. During Duoxa1-related control of osteoclastogenesis, activation of tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR)-associated factor 6 (TRAF6)-mediated early signaling molecules including MAPKs, Akt, IβB, Btk, and PLC 2 was affected, which sequentially modified the mRNA or protein expression levels of key transcription factors in osteoclastogenesis, such as c-Fos and NFATc1, as well as mRNA expression of osteoclast-specific markers including OSCAR, ATP6v0d2, and CtsK.Conclusion:Overall, our data indicate that Duoxa1 plays a crucial role in osteoclastogenesis via regulating RANKL-induced intracellular ROS production and activating TRAF6-mediated signaling.Disclosure of Interests:None declared
