Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Expression of dupNIG.8171R in all glia using Scer\GAL4repo reduces the cell number and size of surface glia in L3 larval brains. The only remaining surface glia display short processes. The underlying neuroepithelium in these brains is highly disorganised with intermingled, ectopic neuroepithelial-neuroblast transitions.

Down-regulation of dup through expression of dupNIG.8171R under the control of Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1 causes a dramatic decrease in nuclear size, cell size, and DNA content of salivary glands, whereas no detectable change is observed in fat bodies, where Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1 does not drive expression.

The alterations in glial size and sprouting caused by Scer\GAL4repo-mediated expression of dupNIG.8171R are fully reversed by co-expression of mir-8Scer\UAS.cVa.
