Larvae expressing Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.UAS.Tag:MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4Toll-6-D42 show increased autophagosomes (Atg8-mCherry) and autolysosomes (Lamp-GFP) at NMJ boutons, under both fed and starved conditions.

Expression of Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL leads to a loss of climbing ability, a loss of dopaminergic neurons in the PPL1 cluster, and a significant increase in mitochondrial size in dopaminergic neurons, as compared to controls.

Expression of Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4unspecified neuronal driver results in a loss of dopaminergic neurons in the PPM1/2, PPm3 and PPL1 clusters as well as impaired locomotion and decreased lifespan in adult flies.

Flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4Ddc.PU show age-dependent loss of dopamine neurons. Neuronal number is unaffected at 20 days, but there is a decrease in clusters PPM1/1, PPM3 and PPL1 at 60 days compared with controls. There is a marked decrease in climbing abilities compared to controls at 60 days. This reduction in climbing ability is suppressed when the flies are sustained on an Ebselen (Prx-mimic)-supplemented medium, and the dopaminergic neuron number is also suppressed. Treatment with the thiol-containing reducing anti-oxidant thiourea does not affect the phenotype.

The myofibrils of thoracic flight muscles expressing Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4how-24B are loosely disorganised with irregular banding patterns. Feeding the flies with the Prx-mimic Ebselen restores the tightly organised structure seen in controls. The muscle mitochondria are swollen and less dense with vacuolation and fragmented cristae than controls, and this is also rescued by Ebelson. The levels of cytochrome c and ATP are lower than in controls, and these are also rescued by Ebelsen.

Expression of Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4how-24B produces prominent mitochondrial abnormalities in the flight muscles that become more severe with age. These flies also exhibit significant age-related climbing impairment relative to controls. The flight muscle phenotypes are rescued upon treatment with EGCG.

Expression of Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL results in the appearance of significantly enlarged mitochondria in dopaminergic neurons and loss of neurons in the protocerebral posterior lateral 1 (PPL1) cluster. These flies also exhibit climbing defects. All of these phenotypes are rescued upon treatment with EGCG. The climbing defects and loss of PPL1 dopaminergic neurons are also rescued upon treatment with AICAR, a direct pharmacological activator of AMPK. Flies treated with a commonly used AMPK inhibitor, Compound C, exhibit increased mortality.

Scer\GAL4elav.PU-mediated expression of Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC does not appear to compromise the overall anatomical integrity of the fly s brain up to 60 d after eclosion. Scanning electron microscope analysis reveals no apparent eye abnormalities in Scer\GAL4GMR.PU Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC flies at 20 d after eclosion. Similar observations are made when these flies are aged to 60 d. In 60 day old, but not 1 or 20 day old, flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC via Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL, there is significant degeneration of DA neurons in the PPM clusters 1 and 3 (but not PAL, PPM2, PPL1 or PPL2) compared with age-matched normal control flies. 60 day old, but not 20 day old, flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC via Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL record dramatically poorer climbing scores compared to controls. Flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC via Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL have a reduced lifespan. There is an accelerated loss of DA neurons in the PPM 2/3 clusters of rotenone-treated flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC via Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL, compared to controls.

Co-expression of AMPKαTD.Scer\UAS fully suppresses the climbing defects and loss of dopaminergic neurons seen in flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL.

Co-expression of srlScer\UAS.cTa partially suppresses the climbing defects and fully suppresses the loss of dopaminergic neurons and the mitochondrial size increase seen in flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL.

Co-expression of both srlKK100201 and AMPKαTD.Scer\UAS fails to rescue the climbing defects and loss of dopaminergic neurons seen in flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL.

Expression of Hsap\PRDX3Scer\UAS.cAa suppresses the age-dependent PPM1, PPM3 and PPL1 dopaminergic neuron loss seen when Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4Ddc.PU. The reduction in climbing ability is also suppressed.

Expression of Hsap\PRDX3Scer\UAS.cAa suppresses the defects in myofibril structure seen in the thoracic flight muscles of flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4how-24B. The increased frequency of deformed mitochondria and reduced levels of cytochrome c and ATP are also rescued by Hsap\PRDX3Scer\UAS.cAa.

Expression of Hsap\PARK2WT.Scer\UAS suppresses the mitochondrial defects seen in dopaminergic neurons when Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL.

Expression of SNF1AGD736 enhances the climbing defects seen in flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL. No further loss of the protocerebral posterior lateral 1 (PPL1) dopaminergic neurons is seen. The beneficial effects of EGCG treatment are completely abolished.

Expression of Hsap\PARK2WT.Scer\UAS suppresses the mitochondrial defects seen in the flight muscles when Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4how-24B. The climbing defects are also rescued.

Expression of SNF1AK57A.Scer\UAS enhances the climbing defects seen in flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL. The beneficial effects of EGCG treatment on climbing ability are completely abolished. The beneficial effects of AICAR on climbing ability and protocerebral posterior lateral 1 (PPL1) dopaminergic neuron loss are also abolished.

Expression of SNF1ATD.Scer\UAS suppresses the climbing defects seen in flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL. The protocerebral posterior lateral 1 (PPL1) dopaminergic neuron loss is also suppressed. The low dopamine levels seen in flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL are also restored in the presence of SNF1ATD.Scer\UAS. Expression of SNF1ATD.Scer\UAS also rescues the climbing defects and mitochondrial abnormalities seen when Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4how-24B.

The accelerated loss of DA neurons in the PPM 2/3 clusters of rotenone-treated flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC via Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL is mitigated through co-expression of Hsap\PARK2WT.Scer\UAS.

The significant degeneration of DA neurons in the PPM clusters 1 and 3 in 60 day old flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2G2019S.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC via Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL is mitigated through co-expression of Hsap\PARK2WT.Scer\UAS.
