Figure 2. Effects of glial expressions of hHtt103Q on survival, locomotive and spontaneous activities of adult flies.

Figure 2

(A) The survival curves of adult flies show that the flies expressing hHtt103Q with gcm-Gal4 driver died by Day 6 and the flies expressing hHtt103Q with repo-Gal4 driver died by Day 14. (B) Negative geotactic responses of hHtt103Q or hHtt20Q expressing flies. Because gcm; hHtt103Q flies died within 1 week as shown in A, we could not test them at 7 days. Asterisk: p<0.05 in Student's t-test. The mean+SE and the number of flies used for each experiment are shown. (C) and (D) indicate spontaneous activity at Day 2 of control and repo; hHtt103Q flies, respectively. Open and filled boxes under the graph indicate Light and Dark cycle (L∶D = 12 hr∶12 hr). We could not test gcm; hHtt103Q flies due to the low birth rate.
