Research has shown that the Notch signaling pathway is dysregulated in many cancer types, often through nuclear accumulation of the active receptor NICD. Using a tumor model in Drosophila ovarian follicular epithelium, it was found that NICD accumulation contributes to tumor growth and reduced apoptosis. Key genes involved in the response to NICD accumulation during tumorigenesis were identified through bulk RNA sequencing.
Notch is a conserved developmental signaling pathway that is dysregulated in many cancer types, most often through constitutive activation. Tumor cells with nuclear accumulation of the active Notch receptor, NICD, generally exhibit enhanced survival while patients experience poorer outcomes. To understand the impact of NICD accumulation during tumorigenesis, we developed a tumor model using the Drosophila ovarian follicular epithelium. Using this system we demonstrated that NICD accumulation contributed to larger tumor growth, reduced apoptosis, increased nuclear size, and fewer incidents of DNA damage without altering ploidy. Using bulk RNA sequencing we identified key genes involved in both a pre- and post- tumor response to NICD accumulation. Among these are genes involved in regulating double-strand break repair, chromosome organization, metabolism, like raptor, which we experimentally validated contributes to early Notch-induced tumor growth. Finally, using single-cell RNA sequencing we identified follicle cell-specific targets in NICD-overexpressing cells which contribute to DNA repair and negative regulation of apoptosis. This valuable tumor model for nuclear NICD accumulation in adult Drosophila follicle cells has allowed us to better understand the specific contribution of nuclear NICD accumulation to cell survival in tumorigenesis and tumor progression.
