The epidermal Ck1αRNAi-induced wound-closure defect is E-cadherin dependent and Wnt signaling independent. (A) Schematic of the experimental design/temperature shift regimen for using Gal80ts to inducibly express UAS-dependent transgenes in the larval epidermis. (B-G) Dissected epidermal whole mounts of pinch-wounded larvae expressing the Gal80ts transgene driven by a tubulin promoter, UAS-DsRed2Nuc (nuclei, magenta) via the e22c-Gal4 driver, and the indicated transgenes 24 h after wounding. Cell boundaries were immunostained using anti-Fasciclin III antibodies (green). (B) ControlRNAi, (C) Ck1αRNAi#3 and controlRNAi, (D) E-cadRNAi, (E) Ck1αRNAi#3 and E-cadRNAi, (F) UAS-TCFRNAi, (G) Ck1αRNAi and UAS-TCFRNAi. Scale bar: 100 μm. (H) Quantitation of the percentage of open wounds in third instar larvae expressing the indicated transgenes via the e22c-Gal4 driver. Each dot represents one set of n≥8 larvae for each genotype. Data are mean±s.e.m. **P<0.01; ns, not significant (one-way ANOVA).
