    Abstract Inflammatory response in Drosophila to sterile (axenic) injury in embryos and adults has received some attention in recent years, and most concentrate on the events at the injury site. Here we focus on the effect sterile injury has on the hematopoietic organ, the lymph gland, and the circulating blood cells in the larva, the developmental stage at which major events of hematopoiesis are evident. In mammals, injury activates Toll-like receptor/NF-κB signaling in macrophages, which then express and secrete secondary, proinflammatory cytokines. In Drosophila larvae, distal puncture injury of the body wall epidermis causes a rapid activation of Toll and Jun kinase (JNK) signaling throughout the hematopoietic system and the differentiation of a unique blood cell type, the lamellocyte. Furthermore, we find that Toll and JNK signaling are coupled in their activation. Secondary to this Toll/JNK response, a cytokine, Upd3, is induced as a Toll pathway transcriptional target, which then promotes JAK/STAT signaling within the blood cells. Toll and JAK/STAT signaling are required for the emergence of the injury-induced lamellocytes. This is akin to the derivation of specialized macrophages in mammalian systems. Upstream, at the injury site, a Duox- and peroxide-dependent signal causes the activation of the proteases Grass and SPE, needed for the activation of the Toll-ligand Spz, but microbial sensors or the proteases most closely associated with them during septic injury are not involved in the axenic inflammatory response.

    Abstract Analyses of the Drosophila hematopoietic system are becoming more and more prevalent as developmental and functional parallels with vertebrate blood cells become more evident. Investigative work on the fly blood system has, out of necessity, led to the identification of new molecular markers for blood cell types and lineages and to the refinement of useful molecular genetic tools and analytical methods. This review briefly describes the Drosophila hematopoietic system at different developmental stages, summarizes the major useful cell markers and tools for each stage, and provides basic protocols for practical analysis of circulating blood cells and of the lymph gland, the larval hematopoietic organ.

    Abstract Blood progenitors within the lymph gland, a larval organ that supports hematopoiesis in Drosophila melanogaster, are maintained by integrating signals emanating from niche-like cells and those from differentiating blood cells. We term the signal from differentiating cells the 'equilibrium signal' in order to distinguish it from the 'niche signal'. Earlier we showed that equilibrium signaling utilizes Pvr (the Drosophila PDGF/VEGF receptor), STAT92E, and adenosine deaminase-related growth factor A (ADGF-A) (Mondal et al., 2011). Little is known about how this signal initiates during hematopoietic development. To identify new genes involved in lymph gland blood progenitor maintenance, particularly those involved in equilibrium signaling, we performed a genetic screen that identified bip1 (bric à brac interacting protein 1) and Nucleoporin 98 (Nup98) as additional regulators of the equilibrium signal. We show that the products of these genes along with the Bip1-interacting protein RpS8 (Ribosomal protein S8) are required for the proper expression of Pvr.

    Abstract As in mammals, blood cells in Drosophila are derived from a common multipotent hematopoietic precursor population. In the embryo, these precursors are derived from the head mesoderm, whereas larval hematopoietic precursors are found in a specialized organ called the lymph gland. This shift in location of hematopoietic differentiation is reminiscent of similar events that occur during mammalian development. Recent analysis has identified several transcriptional regulators in Drosophila that influence hematopoietic lineage commitment. Interestingly, many of these factors are similar to factors directing mammalian hematopoietic differentiation. Although Drosophila blood cells are much less varied in terms of specific lineages, it would appear that many mechanistic aspects by which hematopoietic cell fate is determined have been conserved between Drosophila and mammals. Herein, we describe the Drosophila blood cell types, their physical origin, and the transcriptional regulators that govern this process.

    Abstract Deoxyribonuclease (DNase) II, which was discovered more than 50 years ago, is a mammalian endonuclease that functions optimally at acid pH in the absence of divalent cations. Its lysosomal localization and ubiquitous tissue distribution suggested that this enzyme played a role in the degradation of exogenous DNA encountered by phagocytosis, although the relative importance of such a role was unknown. Subsequent investigations also suggested that DNase II was important for DNA fragmentation and degradation during cell death. Within the last few years, our work and that of others has lead to the cloning of various mammalian DNase II genes as well as the identification and characterization of highly homologous genes in the invertebrates Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster. Interestingly, studies of the C. elegans DNase II homolog NUC-1 were the first to suggest that DNase II enzymes were fundamentally important in engulfment-mediated DNA degradation, particularly that associated with programmed cell death, due to the presence of persistent apoptotic-cell nuclei within phagocytic cells in nuc-1 mutants. Similarly, mutation of the Drosophila DNase II-like gene was found to result in the accumulation of low-molecular-weight DNA throughout the animals. Homozygous mutation (knockout) of the DNase II gene in mice revealed a much more complex and extensive phenotype including perinatal lethality. The lethality of DNase II-knockout mice is likely the result of multiple developmental defects, the most obvious being a loss of definitive erythropoiesis. Closer examination revealed that a defect in engulfment-mediated DNA degradation is the primary defect in DNase II-null mice. In this review, we have compiled information from studies on DNase II from various organisms to provide a consensus model for the role of DNase II enzymes in DNA degradation.

    Abstract The NimC1 molecule has been described as a phagocytosis receptor, and is being used as a marker for professional phagocytes, the plasmatocytes, in Drosophila melanogaster. In studies including tumor-biology, developmental biology, and cell mediated immunity, monoclonal antibodies (P1a and P1b) to the NimC1 antigen are used. As we observed that these antibodies did not react with plasmatocytes of several strains and genetic combinations, a molecular analysis was performed on the structure of the nimC1 gene. In these strains we found 2 deletions and an insertion within the nimC1 gene, which may result in the production of a truncated NimC1 protein. The NimC1 positivity was regained by recombining the mutation with a wild-type allele or by using nimC1 mutant lines under heterozygous conditions. By means of these procedures or using the recombined stock, NimC1 can be used as a marker for phagocytic cells in the majority of the possible genetic backgrounds.
