Figure 2. Reducing MCTs inhibit glial LD accumulation and delays neurodegeneration.

Figure 2

A) a, j. Nile Red stain of whole-mount retina. a and f reveal a baseline of approximately 10 LD per ommatidium in 54C-GAL4; Rh-ND42 IR and Elav-GAL4; Rh-ND42 IR retinas. b–d. Glial knockdown of Sln (MCT), out (MCT) does not reduce glial LD accumulation in the Rh-ND42 IR background and knockdown of Bsg (MCT accessory protein) leads to a decrease of glial LD accumulation. g–i Neuronal knockdown of Sln, out and Bsg in the Rh-ND42 IR background lead to a decrease of glial LD accumulation. e,j knockdown of shakB does not alter LD accumulation. B) Quantification of A. C) Quantification of glial LD accumulation in the sicilyE and MarfB mutant clones. D) Quantification of the number of remaining rhabdomeres after aging for 5 days in sicilyE and MarfB mutant clones. All data are represented as mean ± SEM. Student’s t-tests were used to calculate all significance, n > 10 animals each (*P<0.05, **P<0.005, ***P<0.0005).
