Autophagy inhibition in intestinal stem cells favors enteroendocrine cell differentiation through Stat92E activity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT Because the intestinal epithelium faces many stresses, dysregulation of essential mechanisms governing gut homeostasis, such as autophagy, has been associated with inflammatory bowel pathologies. In Drosophila melanogaster , the inhibition of autophagy, specifically in adult intestinal stem cells (ISCs), affects their number differently through aging. Appropriate intestinal renewal requires a balance between ISC proliferation and differentiation. Herein, we show that in adult ISCs, the loss of core autophagy genes and regulators of autophagosome-lysosome fusion increased the enteroendocrine cell population and transcriptional activity of Stat92E. Functional experiments with cell fate regulators involved in enteroendocrine or enterocyte differentiation or proliferation suggested that dysfunctional autophagy in adult ISCs enhanced Stat92E activity downstream of Hop/JAK kinase. Finally, lineage-tracing analyses confirmed that autophagy inhibition autonomously promotes enteroendocrine cell differentiation without affecting enterocyte differentiation. Thus, our data demonstrates that, under homeostatic conditions, basal autophagy limits enteroendocrine cell differentiation by controlling Stat92E activity.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
