ABSTRACT
In Drosophila, long noncoding RNA Hsrω rapidly assembles membraneless organelle omega speckles under heat shock with unknown biological function. Here, we identified the distribution of omega speckles in multiple tissues of adult Drosophila melanogaster and found that they were selectively distributed in differentiated enterocytes but not in the intestinal stem cells of the midgut. We mimicked the high expression level of Hsrω via overexpression or intense heat shock and demonstrated that the assembly of omega speckles nucleates TBPH for the induction of ISC differentiation. Additionally, we found that heat shock stress promoted cell differentiation, which is conserved in mammalian cells through paraspeckles, resulting in large puncta of TDP-43 (a homolog of TBPH) with less mobility and the differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells. Overall, our findings confirm the role of Hsrω and omega speckles in the development of intestinal cells and provide new prospects for the establishment of stem cell differentiation strategies.
