FOXO is the Mediator Linking Temporal Differentiation and the Insulin Signaling Pathway
… This proposal tests the hypothesis that FOXO, a crucial component of the InR pathway, mediates the regulation of developmental timing. The aims are the following: 1. Observe if dFOXO mutants affect temporal differentiation in the Drosophila eye. 2. Perform epistasis experiments to …

The Role of Foxo Transcription Factors in B Cell Development and Activation
… ultimate B cell fate. In this thesis, the roles Foxo transcription factors play in maintaining B cell homeostasis will be explored. Foxo1, Foxo3, and Foxo4 have both anti-mitogenic and pro-apoptotic properties. The transcription factors are posttranslationally controlled via Akt. When a mature B …

Foxo Transcription Factors Control Spermatogonial Stem Cell Self-Renewal and the Initiation of Spermatogenesis
… here describes the discovery of a role for the Foxo forkhead transcription factors in mouse spermatogenesis and SSCs. Foxo1 was found to specifically mark mouse gonocytes, and its cytoplasmic-to-nuclear translocation delineated the gonocyte-to-SSC transition in neonatal testes. In adults, Foxo1 …

Genetic analysis of novel regulators of neuronal migration in Caenorhabditis elegans: the insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway, a chromatin-binding factor ZFP-1 (AF10) and endogenous RNAi
… modulates the activity of the conserved DAF-16/FOXO transcription factor non-autonomously in the hypodermis to regulate HSN migration. Furthermore, I identify PAK-1, a p21-activated kinase, as a downstream target of DAF-16 in the hypodermis. This study is the first to demonstrate a …

Molecular Coordination of Skeletal Muscle Capillary Remodeling in Obesity: Implications for Metabolic Homeostasis and Disease
… I investigated the role of forkhead box O (FoxO) transcription factors that are potent repressors of skeletal muscle angiogenesis and have previously been implicated in the progression of metabolic disorders. In transgenic mice that have an endothelial cell directed depletion of FoxO …

Identificazione delle Lamine di tipo A come nuovi substrati della protein chinasi Akt/PKB
… A well described nuclear substrate if Foxo. IGF-1 triggers phosphorylation of Foxo by Akt inside the nucleus, where phospho-Foxo associates to 14.3.3 proteins that, in turn, promote its export to the cytoplasm where it is sequestered. Remarkably, Foxo phosphorylation by Akt has been …

Determining the Role of Trib3 in Neuronal Apoptosis
… mechanism involving Akt and its substrates, the FoxO transcription factors. It is also shown that Trib3 is transcriptionally regulated by the FoxO, JNK and apoptotic cell-cycle pathways. The data further demonstrate that Trib3 functions in a feed-forward loop with the FoxOs and deactivates Akt in …

Effect of benzylglucosinolate on signaling pathways associated with type 2 diabetes prevention
… response to insulin. Forkhead box O (FOXO) transcription factors play a crucial role in the regulation of insulin effects on gene expression and metabolism, and alterations in FOXO function could contribute to metabolic disorders in diabetes. In this study using stably transfected …

Role of BEC-1/Beclin 1 and Autophagy Genes in <i>C.elegans</i> Germline Cell Proliferation
… BEC-1/BECN1 requires DAF-18/PTEN but not DAF-16/FOXO for this function and can both promote and inhibit germ cell proliferation depending on the genetic mutant background. Furthermore, ATG-18 and ATG-16.2 also act independently of the GLP-1/Notch and DAF-7/TFG-beta pathways, however it seems that …

The Endoplasmic Reticulum Udpase ENTPD5 Promotes Cancer Cell Growth and Survival in the PI3K/PTEN
… by relieving transcriptional inhibition by FoxO transcription factors. ENTPD5 hydrolyzes UDP to UMP to promote protein N-glycosylation and folding in ER. Knockdown of ENTPD5 in PTEN-null cells causes ER stress and loss of receptor tyrosine kinases through ER-associated degradation pathway …

HIF-2: Standing Guard at the Crossroads of Stress and Aging
… In lower organisms and cell culture models, the FoxO family of transcription factor regulates the transcription of SOD2 and other major AOE. During oxidative stress, Sirt1 modulates FoxO transcriptional activity, promoting the protective cellular response to oxidative stress. We hypothesized that …

Cop 9 Signalosome Subunit 6 Stabilizes Cop1, A Novel E3 Ubiquitin Ligase For 14-3-3Σ
… Akt and promoting cell survival by suppressing FOXO, an Akt target, transcriptional activity. Also, CSN6 overexpression leads to increased cell growth, transformation and promotes tumorigenicity. Significantly, 14-3-3σ expression can correct the abnormalities mediated by CSN6 expression. These …

Búsqueda de potenciales agentes quimioterápicos para los trastornos del espectro autista (TEA) utilizando Caenorhabditis elegans como modelo de estudio
… sección, nos propusimos estudiar la vía PI3K/AKT/FOXO. Esta vía se encuentra altamente conservada y presenta sus respectivos homólogos en C. elegans, como daf-18 (homólogo de PTEN) y daf-16 (homólogo de FOXO, una importantísima familia de factores de transcripción), entre otros. Como un abordaje …

Stress-induced remodeling of the caenorhabditis elegans dauer
… for the neuron to remodel, including the FOXO transcription factor/DAF-16, phosphatase PTEN/DAF-18 and Cytochrome P450/DAF-9. Finally, we find that the TOR associated protein, RAPTOR/DAF-15 regulates mutually exclusive branching of the IL2 and FLP dendrites. Together, our results shed …

The nidogen-domain protein DEX-1 is necessary for the Caenorhabditis elegans dauer morphology and behavior
… during dauer is also regulated through DAF-16/FOXO-mediated transcriptional activation. Finally, we show that dex-1 genetically interacts with a family of zona pellucida-domain genes to regulate seam cell remodeling and alae formation. Taken together, this work shows that DEX-1 is an …

Modulation of Pi3K-Akt Pathway In Colorectal Cancer
… that AKT inhibition in metastatic CRC induces FOXO-mediated adaptive upregulation of RTKs, namely IGF1R, possibly reactivating the pathway. PI3K-altered MSS CRC is an immunologically distinct subgroup with increased immune engagement, but also checkpoint upregulation, resulting in overall …

The ecological genetics of senescence and stress resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans
… and spatial and temporal distributions of the FOXO transcriptions factor DAF-16, suggest that this is because age-1 mutants are more able to survive, develop and reproduce during and/or after exposure to environmental stress, due to increased expression of genes involved in somatic maintenance …

Identifying the Role of DAP-1 and H3.3 Histones in Starvation and Longevity in <i>Caenorhabditis Elegans</i>
… establish that the transcription factor DAF-16/FOXO which acts downstream of the Insulin-like/DAF-2 signalling pathway, also governs the expression of DAP-1 during starvation and thus facilitates organismal survival in response to starvation. Overall, we establish DAP-1 as important factor in …
