Figure 6. Enteroendocrine cell-derived Actβ modulates AKH action in the fat body.

Figure 6

(A, B) Expression of Actβ > GFP (green, UAS-srcGFP/+; Actβ-Gal4/+) in EEs, indicated by Pros (A, red) or TK (B, red), in 3rd larval posterior midgut. (C) Schematic Actβ > GFP expression pattern in larval EEs. (D) Actβ mRNA levels in different larval tissues under high sugar diet. (E–I) Glycemic levels (glucose + trehalose) (E, H) (n=4, 40 larvae) and fat body immunoblots (F, I) in Actβ-overexpressing larvae. (G) Glycemic levels in AkhR +/+; Pros > Con (AkhR +/AkhR +; Pros-Gal4/+), AkhR +/+; Pros > Actβ (AkhR +/AkhR +; Pros-Gal4/UAS-Actβ), and AkhR −/−; Pros > Actβ (AkhR /AkhR; Pros-Gal4/UAS- Actβ) larvae (n=4, 40 larvae per group). Data are presented as means ± SEM. * p < 0.05.
