Flies expressing Hsap\RAF1gof.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4tin.CΔ4 show cardiac hypertrophy: the ventricular diameter at the end of systole and diastole is reduced compared with controls and the heart walls are thicker compared with controls. Cardiomyocytes lack well-defined circumferential fibers.

Expression of Hsap\RAF1gof.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4esg-NP5130 leads to the formation of large heterogeneous intestinal stem cell-derived tumors in the adult intestine.

Expression of Hsap\RAF1gof.Scer\UAS in the intestinal stem cells under the control of Scer\GAL4esg-NP5130 results in expansion of the esg-positive population, which is composed of diploid stem cells and polyploid enterocyte (EC) daughter cells. When flies are fed with the γ-secretase inhibitors DAPT or CpdE stem cell daughters fail to differentiate into EC cells and instead give rise mostly to additional stem cells, as well as some enteroendocrine daughter cells. Cyclopiazonic acid and thapsigargin also expand the stem cell population.

Hearts from flies expressing Scer\GAL4tin.CΔ4>Hsap\RAF1gof.Scer\UAS show reduced end-diastolic dimensions relative to controls. The transgenic hearts display myofiber disarray and increased heart wall thickness compared with controls. The number of cardiomyocytes is similar in the hearts from the transgenic flies to that of wild-type. Compared with controls, the transgenic hearts show an increase in cardiomyocyte ploidy, suggesting abnormal endoreplication.

Expression of Hsap\RAF1gof.Scer\UAS under the control of either Scer\GAL4Hml.Δ or Scer\GAL4stop.Hml results in a 50- to 100-fold elevation in the number of circulating larval hemocytes compared to wild type.

Hsap\RAF1gof.Scer\UAS; Scer\GAL4twi.2PE embryos have increased numbers of visceral muscle founder cells.

Scer\GAL4 activation of Hsap\RAF1 in the follicle cells is sufficient to dorsalise the egg. In the severe cases embryos are twisted and lack nearly all ventral structures.

Expression of ykiJF03119 suppresses the cardiac hypertrophy seen in flies expressing Hsap\RAF1gof.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4tin.CΔ4, returning the ventricular diameter at the end of diastole (EDD) and heart wall thickness to control levels. The cardiomyocytes abnormalities are partially suppressed.

Expression of sdGL00410 does not suppress the cardiac hypertrophy seen in flies expressing Hsap\RAF1gof.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4tin.CΔ4.

Expression of sdJF02514 does not suppress the cardiac hypertrophy seen in flies expressing Hsap\RAF1gof.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4tin.CΔ4.

Expression of TgiScer\UAS.B suppresses the cardiac hypertrophy seen in flies expressing Hsap\RAF1gof.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4tin.CΔ4.

When Ca-P60AJF01948 is co-expressed with Hsap\RAF1gof.Scer\UAS in the intestinal stem cells under the control of Scer\GAL4esg-NP5130 the stem cell daughters fail to differentiate into EC cells and instead give rise mostly to additional stem cells, as well as some enteroendocrine daughter cells.

Cardiac-specific co-expression of Hsap\RAF1gof.Scer\UAS does not change heart wall thickness and cardiomyocyte architecture in Scer\GAL4tin.CΔ4>Dsor1dsRNA.Scer\UAS.cUa expressing flies.

The cardiac specific expression of rapGD9960 under the control of Scer\GAL4tin.CΔ4 prevents the Hsap\RAF1gof.Scer\UAS-induced increases in cardiomyocyte ploidy.
