Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

egh62d18 hemizygous and egh62d18/egh7, but not egh62d18/+, larvae have significantly reduced bouton number and significantly increased bouton size at the neuromuscular junction of muscle 4, compared to controls, with no effect on the number of satellite boutons; egh62d18 mutants do not have any differences in sub-synaptic reticulum, active zone morphology, numbers of ghost boutons or mitochondrial area at neuromuscular junctions, compared to controls.

egh62d18 mutant third instar larvae exhibit enlargement of peripheral nerves attached immune cells. This is most pronounced in the peripheral nerves that project from the most caudal segment (A9) of the ventral nerve cord. The immune cells are identified as plasmatocytes, that are normally circulating in the hemolymph. In severe cases, large plasmatocyte aggregates completely enfold the nerves in the mutants. There is no obvious correlation between nerve diameter and the degree of plasmatocyte accumulation in the mutants. Neither nerve growth nor plasmatocyte accumulation is observed in wild-type larvae. The monolayer of subperineurial glia appears severely disrupted at the ultrastructural level.

There is an approximately ten fold increase i the number of subperineurial glial cell in egh62d18 mutant larvae relative to wild-type.

Females with germline clones lay eggs with fused dorsal appendages and the embryos have an expanded nervous system. Only a few eggs are laid because early oogenesis is blocked due to the development of egg chambers containing multiple oocyte-nurse cell complexes. Germ cell divisions in the egg chambers are not regulated. Follicle cells at the posterior of egg chamber become mesenchymal-like indicating they have not adopted a border cell fate. Stalk cells are determined correctly but are usually disorganised compared to wild type.

wg1/+; egh62d18/+ double heterozygotes, arr2/+; egh62d18/+ double heterozygotes, wlsevi-2/+; egh62d18/+ double heterozygotes and wgGBM/+; egh62d18/+ double heterozygotes have significantly reduced bouton number and significantly increased bouton size at the neuromuscular junction of muscle 4, compared to controls, unlike either heterozygote alone.

Overexpression of PtenScer\UAS.cHa in subperineurial glia under the control of Scer\GAL4Gli-rL82 effectively normalizes the nerve phenotype in egh62d18, whereas the recruitment of plasmatocytes is suppressed.

Subperineurial expression of Pi3K92ED954A.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4Gli-rL82 strongly suppresses the egh62d18 nerve phenotype.

Larvae expressing Scer\GAL4Gli-rL82>Ras85DV12.Scer\UAS display nerves that are significantly wider than either Scer\GAL4Gli-rL82>Ras85DV12.Scer\UAS or egh62d18 single mutants.

Heterozygous Akt104226 strongly suppresses the egh62d18 larval nerve phenotype regarding nerve diameter, but not the nerve-attached plasmatocyte-phenotype.

Overexpression of foxoScer\UAS.cPa in subperineurial glia under the control of Scer\GAL4Gli-rL82 suppresses the egh62d18 larval nerve phenotype.

Reference

Expression of Hsap\B4GALT6Scer\UAS.cWa driven by Scer\GAL4Gli-rL82 rescues both egh62d18 nerve-overgrowth and plasmatocyte accumulation.

Comments

Ubiquitous expression of eghScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of any one of Scer\GAL4Gli-rL82, Scer\GAL4repo or Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI efficiently rescues the phenotype of enlargement of peripheral nerves with attached immune cells in egh62d18 mutants.

Lethality and fertility phenotypes are rescued by egh+t7 and eghhs.PG.

Lethality is rescued by egh+t7, rescued adults are fertile.
