Expression of PsaScer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 results in a mild reduction in longevity.
PsaUAS.cKa, Scer\GAL4elav-C155 is a suppressor of short lived phenotype of Hsap\APPArctic.Aβ42.UAS.cJa.Tag:SS(nec), Scer\GAL4elav-C155
PsaUAS.cKa, Scer\GAL4elav-C155 is a suppressor of abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype of Hsap\APPArctic.Aβ42.UAS.cJa.Tag:SS(nec), Scer\GAL4elav-C155
PsaUAS.cKa, Scer\GAL4elav-C155 is a suppressor of abnormal locomotor behavior phenotype of Hsap\APPArctic.Aβ42.UAS.cJa.Tag:SS(nec), Scer\GAL4elav-C155
PsaUAS.cKa, Scer\GAL4elav-C155 is a suppressor of adult brain phenotype of Hsap\APPArctic.Aβ42.UAS.cJa.Tag:SS(nec), Scer\GAL4elav-C155
PsaUAS.cKa, Scer\GAL4elav-C155 is a suppressor of eye phenotype of Hsap\APPArctic.Aβ42.UAS.cJa.Tag:SS(nec), Scer\GAL4elav-C155
Co-expression of PsaScer\UAS.cKa results in an increase in median survival in flies expressing Hsap\APPArctic.Aβ42.Scer\UAS.cJa.T:SS-nec under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155. In addition, PsaScer\UAS.cKa expression suppresses the retinal toxicity associated with Hsap\APPArctic.Aβ42.Scer\UAS.cJa.T:SS-nec expression, resulting in normal eye development. These flies are also functionally protected, as shown by improved locomotor function throughout their adult life, as compared to flies expressing Hsap\APPArctic.Aβ42.Scer\UAS.cJa.T:SS-nec alone. Coexpression of PsaScer\UAS.cKa results in a marked reduction in the number of AΒ deposits.
