Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Sox21aJC1/Sox21aJC1 mutants are viable and fertile. In newly eclosed flies, general gut morphology and cellular make up of the monolayer midgut epithelium is largely normal. As flies become older, tumors are frequently observed in both the anterior and posterior midgut, and both tumor incidence and size increase with age. Tumors are mainly composed of intestinal stem cells and enteroblasts.

The intestinal stem cells, but not enteroblasts, of Sox21aJC1/Sox21aJC1 mutant tumors are significantly increased in mitotic activity, as compared with wild type intestinal cells.

Sox21aJC1/Sox21aJC1 mutant clones give rise to intestinal tumors mainly composed of intestinal stem cells and enteroblasts.

Comments

Expression of Sox21aScer\UAS.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4Su(H).GBE (along with GAL80ts to temporally control expression), but not Scer\GAL4Dl-05151-G, largely suppresses tumor formation in Sox21aJC1/Sox21aJC1 mutants.

Expression of Sox21aScer\UAS.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4Su(H).GBE rescues the intestinal stem cell overproliferation phenotype in Sox21aJC1/Sox21aJC1 mutant intestines.
