The insulin-signaling pathway regulates the stability of the adherens junction between ISCs and enteroblasts. (A) An FRT82B control ISC clone (green) 6 d ACI containing an ISC (arrowhead) and an enteroblast (arrow) adjacent (asterisk) to one another, as well as enterocytes. (B) A dInR339 mutant ISC clone (green) containing an ISC (arrowhead) and an enteroblast (arrow) in contact (asterisk). (C) A dInR339 mutant transit enteroblast clone (green, arrow) in contact (asterisk) with a wild-type intestinal stem cell (arrowhead). (AC) Clone, GFP green; Delta, white vesicular; DE–cadherin, red; DAPI, blue nuclear. (Scale bar, 10 μm.) (D) DE–cadherin levels measured at the junction of the ISC and the enteroblast are significantly higher in dInR339 mutant clones than in FRT82B clones.
