Specific dome knockdown in fat body cells reverses the effects of a high-sugar diet. Canton-S, control (mCD8-GFP), and Dome knockdown (Dome-IR) larvae were reared on ND for 72 h and HSD for 120 h. (A) Bodyweight (n ≥ 30 animals at least 4 independent experiments), (B) Hemolymph glycemia (n = 70 larvae per pool, N ≥ 3 independent experiments) and (C) Hemolymph TAG levels (n = 70 larvae per pool, N ≥ 3 independent experiments) of larvae fed with ND or HSD. (D) Lifespan curve of Dome-IR and mCD8-GFP adult male flies fed a ND or HSD (n = 300 animals per conditions). Relative expression by qPCR to dilp2 in brain cells (E), dilp6 (F), and dilp2 (G) in fat body cells of Dome-IR and mCD8-GFP larvae in HSD (n = 25 per group, N = 3 independent experiments). The dotted line (black) represents the relative expression by qPCR of mCD8-GFP and Dome-IR larvae fed with ND. Bars represent mean ± SD. 2-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni's multiple comparisons test was used to derive all p values. ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05. ###p < 0.001, ##p < 0.01, #p < 0.05 respect to ND control.
