Abstract

The alignment of cell-cell junctions and associated cortical actomyosin across multiple cells to form supracellular cables in an epithelium is an example of the long range tissue organization that drives morphogenesis. Here we demonstrate that the ability of tissues to assemble these parallel cables depends on the initial packing topology of the cells in the epithelium. Using a computational vertex model we develop two methods of measuring a disordered tissue's favorability to forming cables under an external stress. These measures quantify the deformation of cells and the distribution of tension in the tissue under stress. Using these measures we show that passive stress-induced cell flow reduces a tissue's ability to form cables, whereas oriented divisions create a packing which can sustain multiple parallel cables. These measures are applied to a region of the the Drosophila demonstrating a shift to a more cable-friendly packing after a wave of oriented divisions in the region.

Abstract

During development, epithelial tissues undergo extensive morphogenesis based on coordinated changes of cell shape and position over time. Continuum mechanics describes tissue mechanical state and shape changes in terms of strain and stress. It accounts for individual cell properties using only a few spatially averaged material parameters. To determine the mechanical state and parameters in the Drosophila pupa dorsal thorax epithelium, we sever in vivo the adherens junctions around a disk-shaped domain comprising typically hundred cells. This enables a direct measurement of the strain along different orientations at once. The amplitude and anisotropy of the strain increase during development. We also measure the stress to viscosity ratio and similarly find an increase in amplitude and anisotropy. The relaxation time is of order of ten seconds. We propose a space-time, continuous model of the relaxation. Good agreement with experimental data validates the description of the epithelial domain as a continuous, linear, visco-elastic material. We discuss the relevant time and length scales. Another material parameter, the ratio of external friction to internal viscosity, is estimated by fitting the initial velocity profile. Together, our results contribute to quantify forces and displacements, and their time evolution during morphogenesis., Comment: To appear in J R Soc Lond Interface

25. Applying mechanical forces on Drosophilatissues in vivousing the StretchCo, a 3D-printable device

Author

Gracia, Mélanie, Lefèvre, Bénédicte M., Güell Alonso, Raquel, Cachoux, Victoire, Balakireva, Maria, Guirao, Boris, Cuvelier, Damien, Bardin, Allison J., and Bellaïche, Yohanns

Abstract

Applying mechanical forces to tissues helps to understand morphogenesis and homeostasis. Additionally, recording the dynamics of living tissues under mechanical constraints is needed to explore tissue biomechanics. Here, we present a protocol to 3D-print a StretchCo device and use it to apply uniaxial mechanical stress on the Drosophilapupal dorsal thorax epithelium. We describe steps for 3D printing, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) strip cutting, and glue preparation. We detail procedures for PDMS strip mounting, tissue compaction, and live imaging upon force application. For additional details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Cachoux et al. (2023)1from which the StretchCo machine has been derived.

Abstract

International audience; The orientation of cell division along the long axis of the interphase cell--the century-old Hertwig's rule--has profound roles in tissue proliferation, morphogenesis, architecture and mechanics. In epithelial tissues, the shape of the interphase cell is influenced by cell adhesion, mechanical stress, neighbour topology, and planar polarity pathways. At mitosis, epithelial cells usually adopt a rounded shape to ensure faithful chromosome segregation and to promote morphogenesis. The mechanisms underlying interphase cell shape sensing in tissues are therefore unknown. Here we show that in Drosophila epithelia, tricellular junctions (TCJs) localize force generators, pulling on astral microtubules and orienting cell division via the Dynein-associated protein Mud independently of the classical Pins/Gαi pathway. Moreover, as cells round up during mitosis, TCJs serve as spatial landmarks, encoding information about interphase cell shape anisotropy to orient division in the rounded mitotic cell. Finally, experimental and simulation data show that shape and mechanical strain sensing by the TCJs emerge from a general geometric property of TCJ distributions in epithelial tissues. Thus, in addition to their function as epithelial barrier structures, TCJs serve as polarity cues promoting geometry and mechanical sensing in epithelial tissues.

Abstract

In epithelial tissue, new cell-cell junctions are formed upon cytokinesis. To understand junction formation during cytokinesis, we explored de novo formation of tricellular septate junctions (TCJs) in Drosophila epithelium. We found that upon midbody formation, the membranes of the two daughter cells and of the neighbouring cells located below the adherens junction (AJ) remain entangled in a 4-cell structure apposed to the midbody. The septate junction protein Discs-Large and components of the TCJ, Gliotactin and Anakonda accumulate in this 4-cell structure. Subsequently, a basal movement of the midbody parallels the detachment of the neighbouring cell membranes from the midbody, the disengagement of the daughter cells from their neighbours and the reorganisation of TCJs between the two daughter cells and their neighbouring cells. While the movement of midbody is independent of the Alix and Shrub abscission regulators, the loss of Gliotactin or Anakonda function impedes both the resolution of the connection between the daughterneighbour cells and midbody movement. TCJ proteins therefore control an additional step of cytokinesis necessary for the disentanglement of the daughter cells from their neighbours during cytokinesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
