Cells exhibit stress responses to various environmental changes. Among these responses, the integrated stress response (ISR) plays a pivotal role as a crucial stress signaling pathway. While extensive ISR research has been conducted on cultured cells, our understanding of its implications in multicellular organisms remains limited, largely due to the constraints of current techniques that hinder our ability to track and manipulate the ISR in vivo. To overcome these limitations, we have successfully developed an internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-based fluorescent reporter system. This innovative reporter enables us to label Drosophila cells, within the context of a living organism, that exhibit eIF2 phosphorylation-dependent translational shutoff - a characteristic feature of the ISR and viral infections. Through this methodology, we have unveiled tissue- and cell-specific regulation of stress response in Drosophila flies and have even been able to detect stressed tissues in vivo during virus and bacterial infections. To further validate the specificity of our reporter, we have engineered ISR-null eIF2αS50A mutant flies for stress response analysis. Our results shed light on the tremendous potential of this technique for investigating a broad range of developmental, stress, and infection-related experimental conditions. Combining the reporter tool with ISR-null mutants establishes Drosophila as an exceptionally powerful model for studying the ISR in the context of multicellular organisms. |
