In the Drosophila pupal abdomen, larval epidermal cells (LECs) are replaced by adult progenitor cells (histoblasts). Previous work showed that interactions between histoblasts and LECs result in apoptotic extrusion of LECs during early pupal development. Extrusion of cells is closely preceded by caspase activation and is executed by contraction of a cortical actomyosin cable. Here, we identify a population of LECs that extrudes independently of the presence of histoblasts during late pupal development. Extrusion of these LECs is not closely preceded by caspase activation, involves a pulsatile medial actomyosin network, and correlates with a developmental time period when mechanical tension and E-cadherin turnover at adherens junctions is particularly high. Our work reveals a developmental switch in the cell extrusion mechanism that correlates with changes in tissue mechanical properties. © 2020.

Although increased levels of type I IFN are found in patients with SLE, and IFN blockade ameliorates disease in many mouse models of lupus, its precise roles in driving SLE pathogenesis remain largely unknown. In this study, we dissected the effect of type I IFN sensing by CD4 T cells and B cells on the development of T follicular helper cells (TFH), germinal center (GC) B cells, plasmablasts, and antinuclear dsDNA IgG levels using the bm12 chronic graft-versus-host disease model of SLE-like disease. Type I IFN sensing by B cells decreased their threshold for BCR signaling and increased their expression of MHC class II, CD40, and Bcl-6, requirements for optimal GC B cell functions. In line with these data, ablation of type I IFN sensing in B cells significantly reduced
