Remote Control of Intestinal Stem Cell Activity by Haemocytes in Drosophila

Jean Philippe Boquete, Bruno Lemaitre, Sveta Chakrabarti, Esther Jeanne Collas, Jan Paul Dudzic, Xiaoxue Li

The JAK/STAT pathway is a key signaling pathway in the regulation of development and immunity in metazoans. In contrast to the multiple combinatorial JAK/STAT pathways in mammals, only one canonical JAK/STAT pathway exists in Drosophila. It is activated by ...

Gut physiology mediates a trade-off between adaptation to malnutrition and susceptibility to food-borne pathogens

Bruno Lemaitre, Sveta Chakrabarti, Sylvain Kolly

The animal gut plays a central role in tackling two common ecological challenges, nutrient shortage and food-borne parasites, the former by efficient digestion and nutrient absorption, the latter by acting as an immune organ and a barrier. It remains unkno ...

The Drosophila MAPK p38c Regulates Oxidative Stress and Lipid Homeostasis in the Intestine

Bruno Lemaitre, Sveta Chakrabarti

The p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase signaling cassette has been implicated in stress and immunity in evolutionarily diverse species. In response to a wide variety of physical, chemical and biological stresses p38 kinases phosphorylate various su ...

The contribution of the host stress response to the pathogenesis of Pseudomonas entomophila in the Drosophila intestine

Sveta Chakrabarti

Recently, several studies done in Drosophila have revealed that efficient and rapid recovery from bacterial infection in the gut is possible only when bacterial clearance by the immune system is coordinated with repair through renewal of the epithelium dam ...

Autocrine and paracrine unpaired signalling regulate intestinal stem cell maintenance and division

Bruno Lemaitre, Sveta Chakrabarti, Dani Osman, Yu-Chen Tsai, Yu-Ting Huang

The Janus Kinase (JAK) Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT) pathway is involved in the regulation of Intestinal Stem Cell (ISC) activity to ensure a continuous renewal of the adult Drosophila midgut. Three ligands, Unpaired1, 2 and 3 are ...

Infection-induced host translational blockage inhibits immune responses and epithelial renewal in the Drosophila gut

Bruno Lemaitre, Sveta Chakrabarti

Typically, immune responses control the pathogen, while repair and stress pathways limit damage caused by pathogenesis. The relative contribution of damage to the outcome of pathogenesis and the mechanistic links between the immune and repair pathways are ...

Invasive and indigenous microbiota impact intestinal stem cell activity through multiple pathways in Drosophila

Bruno Lemaitre, Nichole Broderick, Sveta Chakrabarti

Gut homeostasis is controlled by both immune and developmental mechanisms, and its disruption can lead to inflammatory disorders or cancerous lesions of the intestine. While the impact of bacteria on the mucosal immune system is beginning to be precisely u ...
