(A) Images showing abnormal wing posture phenotypes in Mhc-Gal4>GR80 flies. The bar graph shows age-dependent progression of the wing posture phenotype (n = 90 flies, 3 biological repeats). The error bars signify standard deviation (SD) in this and all of the other figures.
(B) Monitoring of mitochondrial morphology in thoracic flight muscle of Mhc-Gal4>GR80 flies expressing a mito-GFP reporter. The images are representative of 3 independent samples.
(C) TEM images of IFM mitochondria of control (Mhc-Gal4/w-) and Mhc-Gal4>GR80 flies at lower (1,000×) and higher (6,000×) magnifications. The graphs show quantification (n = 5 sections from 3 independent samples).
(D) Mitochondrial respiratory chain activities in GR80 compared to control (Mhc-Gal4/w-) flies. The data represent 1-time experiment.
(E) Quantification of ROS levels measured with DCFH fluorescence in GR80 fly muscle (n = 3).
(F) Mito-SOX staining of mitochondrial ROS levels in control and GR80 flies expressing mito-GFP. The graph shows quantification (n = 3).
*p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01, 1-way ANOVA test followed by Student-Newman-Keuls (SNK) test plus Bonferroni correction. See also Figure S1.
