  text: Solute carriers are increasingly recognized as participating in a plethora
    of pathologies, including cancer. We describe here the involvement of the orphan
    solute carrier MFSD1 in the regulation of tumor cell migration. Loss of MFSD1
    enabled higher levels of metastasis in a mouse model. We identified an increased
    migratory potential in MFSD1-/- tumor cells which was mediated by increased focal
    adhesion turn-over, reduced stability of mature inactive β1 integrin, and the
    resulting increased integrin activation index. We show that MFSD1 promoted recycling
    to the cell surface of endocytosed inactive β1 integrin and thereby protected
    β1 integrin from proteolytic degradation; this led to dampening of the integrin
    activation index. Furthermore, down-regulation of MFSD1 expression was observed
    during early steps of tumorigenesis and higher MFSD1 expression levels correlate
    with a better cancer patient prognosis. In sum, we describe a requirement for
    endolysosomal MFSD1 in efficient β1 integrin recycling to suppress tumor spread.

  text: Drosophila melanogaster plasmatocytes, the phagocytic cells among hemocytes,
    are essential for immune responses, but also play key roles from early development
    to death through their interactions with other cell types. They regulate homeostasis
    and signaling during development, stem cell proliferation, metabolism, cancer,
    wound responses and aging, displaying intriguing molecular and functional conservation
    with vertebrate macrophages. Given the relative ease of genetics in Drosophila
    compared to vertebrates, tools permitting visualization and genetic manipulation
    of plasmatocytes and surrounding tissues independently at all stages would greatly
    aid in fully understanding these processes, but are lacking. Here we describe
    a comprehensive set of transgenic lines that allow this. These include extremely
    brightly fluorescing mCherry-based lines that allow GAL4-independent visualization
    of plasmatocyte nuclei, cytoplasm or actin cytoskeleton from embryonic Stage 8
    through adulthood in both live and fixed samples even as heterozygotes, greatly
    facilitating screening. These lines allow live visualization and tracking of embryonic
    plasmatocytes, as well as larval plasmatocytes residing at the body wall or flowing
    with the surrounding hemolymph. With confocal imaging, interactions of plasmatocytes
    and inner tissues can be seen in live or fixed embryos, larvae and adults. They
    permit efficient GAL4-independent FACS analysis/sorting of plasmatocytes throughout
    life. To facilitate genetic analysis of reciprocal signaling, we have also made
    a plasmatocyte-expressing QF2 line that in combination with extant GAL4 drivers
    allows independent genetic manipulation of both plasmatocytes and surrounding
    tissues, and a GAL80 line that blocks GAL4 drivers from affecting plasmatocytes,
    both of which function from the early embryo to the adult.
