Expression of Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 significantly reduces the longevity of adult flies: their median survival is significantly decreased compared to controls at both 25[o]C and 29[o]C. It also reduces their locomotor abilities - their mean climbing velocity is lower than in controls and declines more rapidly with age.

The climbing ability of flies expressing Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU declines more significantly with age compared with controls. This individuals are short lived compared to controls.

The brains of flies expressing Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU show an increase in vacuole number compared to controls.

Flies expressing Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU exhibit an impaired circadian activity rhythm in LD (12 house light, 12 hours dark) that becomes more severe with age. The average rhythm strength is also reduced in DD (total darkness).

The morphology and number of Pdf-positive flies is unaffected in the brains of flies expressing Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU.

Expression of Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec, induced by RU486 thanks to expression under the control of the Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO geneswitch system, is induced by lower doses of RU486 on a holidic (containing 50mM sucrose and 200mM biologically available nitrogen) diet compared to on a sugar-yeast diet. In a dose-response analysis, 25υM RU486 in the holidic medium reproduces both Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec expression levels and a similar defect in the flies' ability to perform negative geotaxis at old ages when receiving 200υM RU486 in sugar-yeast food.

Adult- onset expression of Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec under the Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO driver (using RU486 food supplement to control the time of expression) significantly decreases adult lifespan and climbing abilities compared to controls.

Expression of Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec under the control of Scer\GAL4OK307 induces an age-dependent decline in synaptic vesicle release probability.

Expression of Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec under the control of Scer\GAL4OK307 induces an age-dependent reduction in the density of presynaptic voltage-gated calcium channel clusters.

Expression of Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec under the control of Scer\GAL4OK307 induces an age-dependent increase in synaptic contact length.

Expression of Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO (in combination with RU486 exposure to activate Gal4 expression) results in climbing defects and reduced lifespan, with increased severity upon longer RU486 exposure, as compared to untreated controls.

Expression of Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec under the Scer\GAL4GMR.PF driver results in a rough eye phenotype and a decrease in the adult eye size.

Flies expressing Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:nec under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 display significantly increased survival when cultured on food containing 1000μ YM-F24 (an iron-specific metal chelator).

Expression of Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec in the brain under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 results in a drastic reduction in lifespan compared with controls.

Flies expressing Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO from 2 day post-eclosion onwards (expression induced by feeding flies RU486) have a median lifespan that is shorter than controls by about 50%, and a maximum lifespan that is reduced by about 45%. Response latencies in the tergotrochanteral (TTM) and dorsal longitudinal (DLM) muscles following giant fibre stimulation are similar to controls at day 16, but are significantly increased at day 28. The stability of the TTM response to high frequency stimulation (100, 200 and 250 Hz) is inhibited. Age-related climbing behaviour is enhanced compared to controls, and this phenotype is rescued when the flies are fed lithium in adulthood.

Expression of Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec under the control of Scer\GAL4shot-OK307 significantly accelerates the age-related decline in the flight ability of adult flies and shortens adult lifespan relative to controls. It also hastens the age-related decline in neurotransmission functionality: the success rate of eliciting excitatory junction potentials in the dorsal longitudinal muscle (DLM) fibers in response to brain stimulation is much lower compared to controls and the age-progressive increase in synaptic transmission fatigue rate is increased. Expression of Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec also leads to age-progressive depletion of synaptic vesicles, their increased size and heterogeneity, depletion of presynaptic mitochondria (as well as slightly higher frequency of damaged mitochondria) and accumulation of presynaptic vacuoles compared to age-matched controls. The number of axonal mitochondria is also reduced although their mean area is actually increased compared to controls and the rates of both anterograde and retrograde axonal transport in aged (but not young) adult flies is significantly decreased compared to age-matched controls.

The faster rate of age-related decline in neurotransmission along the the DLM pathway is also observed in flies expressing Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec under the Scer\GAL4elav.PLu driver, although the decline rate is slower than with the Scer\GAL4shot-OK307 driver.

The metal chelator clioquinol reduces the toxic effects of Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:nec-driven Hsap\APPScer\UAS.T:nec overexpression.

Flies expressing Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:nec under the control of Scer\GAL4unspecified have a median survival of about 8 days.

Expression of Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:nec driven by Scer\GAL4elav-C155 results in a rough eye phenotype.

Flies expressing Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:nec under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 show a dramatic decrease in longevity. Treatment with MK-801 markedly prolongs the survival of flies expressing Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:nec under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155.Feeding these flies with azo-dye Congo Red from the time of hatching results in a significant increase in longevity. Congo Red does not lengthen the lifespan of control flies.

The short lifespan of adult flies expressing Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 (cultured at either 25[o]C or 29[o]C) is significantly lengthened by co-expression of NT1Cysknot.Scer\UAS and decreased further by co-expression of NT1Pro.Scer\UAS. Co-expression of NT1fl.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP or of NT1GD10831 RNAi has no significant effect on the lifespan of Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec expressing flies and neither has the combination with a single copy of NT1unspecified loss of function allele.

The impaired locomotor ability of adult flies expressing Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 is partially ameliorated by co-expression of either NT1Cysknot.Scer\UAS or NT1fl.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP. Co-expression of NT1Pro.Scer\UAS or of NT1GD10831 RNAi has no significant effect on the climbing ability of Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec expressing flies and neither has the combination with a single copy of NT1unspecified loss of function allele.

Expression of sggS9E.Scer\UAS partially suppresses the decrease in median and maximum lifespan seen in flies expressing Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO from 2 day post-eclosion onwards (expression induced by feeding flies RU486). The climbing behaviour defects are fully rescued.
