Multidrug Resistance Protein (MRP) upregulation in myogenic lineages conveys MeHg tolerance during development. (A) Expression of MRP, a xenobiotic and MeHg transporter, was assessed by crossing UAS-MRP (MRPEY11919) with Actin-GAL4 and conducting RT-qPCR on RNA extracted from pupal offspring (****p < 0.0001, t-test). Tolerance to MeHg during development was determined using an eclosion assay, with offspring of control (YW) or UAS-MRP flies crossed to various driver lines: (B) NP1-G4 (gut driver), (C) ELAV-G4 (neural driver), and (D) Mef2-G4 (muscle driver). Asterisks mark statistical significance in comparison to control at each treatment (*p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ****p < 0.0001, z-test).
