Hsap\ARQ52.Scer\UAS disease model requires Hsap\AR ligand testosterone. Larvae raised in the presence of dihydroxytestosterone.
Disease phenotype requires presence of Hsap\AR ligand, dihydrotestosterone.
The degeneration phenotype caused by expression of Hsap\ARQ52.Scer\UAS is suppressed by rearing flies on the TOR inhibitor rapamycin.
Expression of Hsap\ARQ52.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU results in degeneration of ommatidia on the posterior part of the compound eye.
When Hsap\ARQ52.Scer\UAS is expressed by the eye-specific driver Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, flies have a dihydrotestosterone (DHT)-dependent rough eye phenotype characterised by ommatidial degeneration and supernumerary interommatidial bristles, particularly in the posterior aspects of the eye. Rearing flies on media containing compound YM-1 alleviates the DHT-dependent eye degeneration in this line.
When Hsap\ARQ52.Scer\UAS is expressed in motor neurons by the Scer\GAL4BG380 or Scer\GAL4VGlut-OK371 driver lines, a significant percentage of flies fail to eclose in a DHT-dependent manner. The DHT-dependent pupal toxicity of Hsap\ARQ52.Scer\UAS-expression is significantly rescued by rearing flies on compound YM-1.
Expression of Hsap\ARQ52.Scer\UAS in motor neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4D42 in larvae fed on food supplemented with DHT, results in reduced motility of third instar larvae.
Whereas flies expressing Hsap\ARQ52.Scer\UAS in the developing eye under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF show no eye phenotype when reared on normal food, flies reared on food containing dihydrotestosterone (DHT) exhibit a degenerative phenotype that is limited to the posterior margin of the eye. The severity of the phenotype is polyglutamine-length dependent, with Hsap\ARQ52.Scer\UAS expressing flies showing severe ommatidial pitting, disorganization, and fusion, as well as abnormal and supernumerary interommatidial bristles.
Expression of Hsap\ARQ52.Scer\UAS in the larval salivary gland under the control of Scer\GAL4fkh.PH in the presence of dihydrotestosterone results in a dramatic reduction in salivary gland size. Larvae expressing Hsap\ARQ52.Scer\UAS in motorneurons under the control of Scer\GAL4D42 in the presence of dihydrotestosterone exhibit defects in locomotor ability (as measured by larval crawling assay), indicating a significant functional deficit. In addition, the number of type 1B boutons at the larval neuromuscular junction is significantly decreased in a dihydrotestosterone-dependent manner when Hsap\ARQ52.Scer\UAS is expressed using the motor neuron driver Scer\GAL4VGlut-OK371.
Expression of Hsap\ARQ52.Scer\UAS in all neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 in the presence of dihydrotestosterone results in early lethality.
Flies expressing Hsap\ARQ52.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU show an eye degeneration phenotype when raised on food containing 1mM dihydrotestosterone. This degeneration is suppressed if the food is also supplemented with 0.5mM Psammaplysene A.
Expression of Hsap\ARQ52.Scer\UAS in the developing eye under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF does not generate a phenotype. However, expression in the presence of an active androgen (with 10[-5]M dehydrotestosterone) results in a rough eye phenotype.
Flies expressing Hsap\ARQ52.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF in the absence of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) have normal eyes, but in the presence of DHT they have rough eyes.
Photoreceptor neurons show a significant increase in morphological features of autophagy in flies expressing Hsap\ARQ52.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF in the presence of DHT; there is an increase in the number of autophagic vacuoles and in the number of multilamellar bodies/multivesicular bodies.
Transgenic flies carrying Hsap\ARQ52.Scer\UAS and Scer\GAL4GMR.PY show normal eye morphology. However, ingestion of the androgen receptor ligand dihydroxytestosterone (DHT) by these animals for 5 days after hatching induces marked disruption of the eye, including severely reduced ommatidium numbers and loss of pigmentation with thinned retinas in all lines tested at adult day 0. Treatment of these animals with the androgen antagonists hydroxyflutamide (HF) or bicalutamide (BIC), using the same regime as for DHT, results in even more extreme eye phenotypes than those caused by DHT treatment. Treatment of these animals with DHT or HF for 14 days after eclosion also causes severe rough eye phenotypes with loss of photoreceptor neurons, retina and pigmentation.
