چکیده
Oncogenic mutations in Ras deregulate cell death and proliferation to cause cancer in a significant number of patients. Although normal Ras signaling during development has been well elucidated in multiple organisms, it is less clear how oncogenic Ras exerts its effects. Furthermore, cancers with oncogenic Ras mutations are aggressive and generally resistant to targeted therapies or chemotherapy. We identified the exocytosis component Sec15 as a synthetic suppressor of oncogenic Ras in an in vivo Drosophila mosaic screen. We found that oncogenic Ras elevates exocytosis and promotes the export of the pro-apoptotic ligand Eiger (Drosophila TNF). This blocks tumor cell death and stimulates overgrowth by activating the JNK-JAK-STAT non-autonomous proliferation signal from the neighboring wild-type cells. Inhibition of Eiger/TNF exocytosis or interfering with the JNK-JAK-STAT non-autonomous proliferation signaling at various steps suppresses oncogenic Rasmediated overgrowth. Our findings highlight important cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic roles of exocytosis during oncogenic growth and provide a new class of synthetic suppressors for targeted therapy

Ultrastructural localization of chitin in the cystic wall of Euplotes muscicola Kahl (ciliata, hypotrichia).
The ultrastructural localization of chitin in the cyst walls of Euplotes muscicola was carried out after deproteinization and by specific labelling with WGA-gold complex. The overall ectocyst contains chitin that alone can sustain the exact profile of this cystic layer. In the endocyst, electron clear sublayers include chitin and alternate with other sublayers probably of proteic nature.
متن کاملAdapting Bottom-up, Emergent Behaviour for Character-Based AI in Games
It is widely acknowledged that there is a demand for alternatives to handcrafted character behaviour in interactive entertainment/video games. This paper investigates a simple agent architecture inspired by the thought experiment “Vehicles: Experiments in Synthetic Psychology” by the cyberneticist and neuroscientist Valentino Braitenberg [1]. It also shows how architectures based on the core pr...
متن کاملControlling Anytime Scheduling of Observation Tasks
This paper describes how multiple independent observation tasks can be scheduled for an autonomous vehicle. Presented with large numbers of tasks, of differing reward levels, a vehicle has to evaluate the best schedule to execute given a limited time to both plan and act. A meta-management framework acting on top of an anytime scheduler analyses the problem and the progress made in generating s...
متن کاملA Generic Platform for Ontological Query Answering
The paper presents ALASKA, a multi-layered platform enabling to perform ontological conjunctive query answering (OCQA) over heterogeneously-stored knowledge bases in a generic, logic-based manner. While this problem knows today a renewed interest in knowledge-based systems with the semantic equivalence of different languages widely studied, from a practical view point this equivalence has been ...
