Fig 6. JNK signaling pathway is activated in glioma via the TNF receptor Grindelwald which mediates GB progression.

Fig 6

Glial cell nuclei are labeled with UAS-GFPNLS (gray or green in the merge) driven by repo-Gal4. (A–D) JNK signaling pathway reporter TRE-RFP (gray or red in the merge) in control, glioma, glioma Gap43-RNAi, and Glioma Fz1-RNAi brain sections. The number of glial cells is quantified in panel E, and the TRE-RFP average pixel intensity per glial cells is quantified in panel F. (G–L) Glia are labeled with UAS-Ihog-RFP (red) driven by repo-Gal4 to visualize active cytonemes/TM structures in glial cells and stained with Repo (gray or green in the merge) in the following genotypes: control, glioma, grnd-RNAi, glioma grnd-RNAi, grnd−/− and Glioma grnd−/− brain sections. The number of Repo+ cells is quantified in panel M. Nuclei are marked with DAPI. Error bars show SD; *P < 0.01, **P < 0.001, ***P < 0.0001, or ns for nonsignificant. Scale bar size is indicated in this and all figures. The data underlying this figure can be found in S1 Data.
