a Representative images of posterior midguts. Transgenes were induced for 2 days with esgts. Scale bar, 50 µm. b Quantification of disseminated cells residing on the surface of VM. N = 20 (esgts), N = 15 (esgts > piezo-i8488), N = 14 (esgts > piezo-iv2796), N = 15 (esgts > RasV12), N = 9 (esgts > RasV12, piezo-i8488), N = 8 (esgts > RasV12, piezo-iv2796) biological replicates. c Quantification of disseminated cells detected on the surface of VM. 100 µM GdCl3-supplemented food was fed for 2 days while expressing RasV12 with esgts. N = 11 (esgts > RasV12), N = 17 (esgts > RasV12) biological replicates. d Quantification of discontinuous longitudinal muscles. N = 21 (esgts), N = 18 (esgts > piezo-i8488), N = 18 (esgts > piezo-iv2796), N = 15 (esgts > RasV12), N = 14 (esgts > RasV12, piezo-i8488), N = 18 (esgts > RasV12, piezo-iv2796) biological replicates. e Quantification of vesicles. N = 10 biological replicates for each genotype. In (be), mean ± SEMs are shown with individual data points. Data were analyzed by two-tailed unpaired Student’s t-test, asterisks indicate statistical significance (*P < 0.01), and P values are indicated in graph.
