Expression of vnScer\UAS.cUa under the control of Scer\GAL4esg-NP5130 (in combination with a Gal80[ts] transgene to restrict expression to the adult stage) results in midgut hyperplasia via an increase in both intestinal stem cell and enteroblast differentiation, along with a significant increase in the number of mitotic cells, as compared to controls.
Expression of vnScer\UAS.cUa under the control of Scer\GAL4how-24B results in intestinal stem cell hyperproliferation in the adult midgut.
Co-expression of bunGD1392 or MadmGD7155 suppresses the increased number of mitotic cells seen in the midguts of flies expressing vnScer\UAS.cUa under the control of Scer\GAL4esg-NP5130.
