In a tuberculosis model by abdominal injection with Mycobacterium marinum, adult flies expressing Stat92EdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of: Scer\GAL4crq.Unk, in combination with gal80[ts] to restrict expression to adulthood, present a significant decrease in the bacterial burden, and a significant increase in the survival, as compared to wild-type control flies; Scer\GAL4Hml.Δ, in combination with gal80[ts] to restrict expression to adulthood, present a significant increase in the hemocyte numbers at day 6, but not day 5, after infection, as compared to wild-type control flies; Scer\GAL4c564 present similar survival, as compared to wild-type control flies.
The expression of Stat92EdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4c564 has no significant effect on the survival of adults, upon infection or not with Mycobacterium marinum, as compared to wild-type controls.
The expression of Stat92EdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4crq.Unk, in combination with gal80[ts] to restrict expression to adulthood, leads to a significant decrease in the bacterial burden, and a significant increase in the survival of adults infected with Mycobacterium marinum, as compared to wild-type controls, whereas non-infected individuals do not present significant differences in survival as compared to wild-type controls; expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Hml.Δ, in combination with gal80[ts] to restrict expression to adulthood, leads to a significant increase in the hemocyte numbers at day 6, but not at day 5, after infection with Mycobacterium marinum, as compared to wild-type controls, whereas non-infected individuals do not present significant differences in hemocyte numbers as compared to wild-type controls.
Flies expressing Stat92EdsRNA.Scer\UAS show a higher bacterial clearance activity than do control flies after injection with E.coli.
Flies expressing Stat92EdsRNA.Scer\UAS (either using heat shock to drive expression from the minimal heat shock promoter in the P{UAS-Stat92E.RNAi} construct, or using a Scer\GAL4da.G32 driver to drive expression) show a lower survival rate after infection with E.coli than do control flies.
Stat92ERNAi.UAS/Scer\GAL4NP5130 is a suppressor of increased occurrence of cell division | adult stage phenotype of Rnf14617
Scer\GAL4NP6267/Stat92ERNAi.UAS is a suppressor of increased occurrence of cell division | adult stage phenotype of Sulf1KO.Cherry/Sulf1ΔP1
Stat92ERNAi.UAS, Scer\GAL4Act.PU is a suppressor of neoplasia | somatic clone | third instar larval stage phenotype of BacA\p35UAS.cHa, Scer\GAL4Act.PU, Snr1HMS00363
Scer\GAL4NP0001/Stat92ERNAi.UAS is a non-suppressor of increased occurrence of cell division | adult stage phenotype of Rnf14617
Stat92ERNAi.UAS/Scer\GAL4NP5130 is a suppressor of adult midgut epithelium phenotype of Rnf14617
Stat92ERNAi.UAS/Scer\GAL4NP5130 is a suppressor of intestinal stem cell | adult stage phenotype of Rnf14617
Scer\GAL4NP6267/Stat92ERNAi.UAS is a suppressor of adult posterior midgut epithelium phenotype of Sulf1KO.Cherry/Sulf1ΔP1
Stat92ERNAi.UAS, Scer\GAL4Act.PU is a suppressor of wing disc | somatic clone | third instar larval stage phenotype of BacA\p35UAS.cHa, Scer\GAL4Act.PU, Snr1HMS00363
Scer\GAL4NP0001/Stat92ERNAi.UAS is a non-suppressor of adult midgut epithelium phenotype of Rnf14617
Scer\GAL4NP0001/Stat92ERNAi.UAS is a non-suppressor of intestinal stem cell | adult stage phenotype of Rnf14617
The increased division of intestinal stem cells in the adult posterior midgut during normal homeostasis characteristic for Sulf1KO;Cherry/Sulf1ΔP1 mutants can be suppressed by expression of Stat92EdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4NP6267 (using tub-Gal80[ts] to limit the time of expression to adulthood).
The lower survival rate seen in flies expressing Stat92EdsRNA.Scer\UAS (either using heat shock to drive expression from the minimal heat shock promoter in the P{UAS-Stat92E.RNAi} construct, or using a Scer\GAL4da.G32 driver to drive expression) after infection with E.coli is suppressed if the flies are also heterozygous for RelE20.
The aggressive tissue overgrowth observed in third instar larval wing discs carrying somatic (flip-out) clones simultaneously expressing Snr1HMS00363 and BacA\p35Scer\UAS.cHa driven by Scer\GAL4Act.PU is significantly suppressed by co-expression of Stat92EdsRNA.Scer\UAS.
