Detailed Description

Reference

The performance of young flies expressing Scer\GAL4elav-C155>Fer1HCHScer\UAS.cMa in negative geotactic response is similar to wild-type. They transgenic flies show significant impairment when age-related decline starts at week six of their life.

Overexpression of Scer\GAL4elav-C155>Fer1HCHScer\UAS.cMa results in behavioural defects, neurodegeneration, and reduced life span only when mothers are infected with virulent Wolbachia. Treatment of flies with the antibiotic tetracycline for four consecutive generations results in the elimination of these phenotypes.

Fer1HCHScer\UAS.cMa overexpression in all adult brain glia under the control of Scer\GAL4repo does not generate statistically significant differences in escape response in the first four weeks of adult life.

Approximately 75% of flies overexpressing Fer1HCHScer\UAS.cMa in glia under the control of Scer\GAL4repo exhibit rhythmicity, while 80% of those expressing Fer1HCHScer\UAS.cMa under the control of Scer\GAL4nrv2.PS exhibit rhythmicity.

Expression of Fer1HCHScer\UAS.cMa alone under the control of Scer\GAL4Act does not result in increased resistance to paraquat compared to control flies.

Expression of both Fer1HCHScer\UAS.cMa and Fer2LCHScer\UAS.cMa under the control of Scer\GAL4ninaE.PT significantly rescues the neurodegeneration and electrophysiology defect seen in fh1 mutant photoreceptor clones when flies are raised in the dark.

Co-expression of Fer1HCHScer\UAS.cMa and Fer2LCHScer\UAS.cMa partially suppresses the reduction in lifespan seen in flies expressing fhdsRNA.Scer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU when fed either normal food or food supplemented with iron.

Flies overexpressing both Fer1HCHScer\UAS.cMa and Fer2LCHScer\UAS.cMa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 show significant impairment in negative geotaxis at file and six weeks of age.

Flies simultaneously expressing Fer1HCHScer\UAS.cMa and Fer2LCHScer\UAS.cMa in glia under the control of Scer\GAL4repo exhibit an abrupt and pronounced deficit in escape responses in both horizontal and vertical directions at five and six weeks of age.

Quantification of rhythmic patterns shows that 57% of six-week old individuals overexpressing both Fer1HCHScer\UAS.cMa and Fer2LCHScer\UAS.cMa in glia under the control of Scer\GAL4repo remain rhythmic in constant darkness, albeit with a reduced value for rhythmicity statistic, suggesting behavioral disturbances even in the flies categorized as rhythmic. Three-week old flies overexpressing both chains in glia show robut rhythms in 69% of the individuals tested. Approximately 63% of six-week old Scer\GAL4nrv2.PS/Fer1HCHScer\UAS.cMa, Fer2LCHScer\UAS.cMa flies are rhythmic compared to 91% for similar aged Scer\GAL4nrv2.PS/+ flies.

Flies overexpressing both Fer1HCHScer\UAS.cMa and Fer2LCHScer\UAS.cMa in glia under the control of Scer\GAL4repo or Scer\GAL4nrv2.PS accumulate ferritin-iron inclusions, with crystal-like (i.e. symmetric) morphology and are surrounded by an intracellular membrane.

Flies overexpressing both Fer1HCHScer\UAS.cMa and Fer2LCHScer\UAS.cMa in glia under the control of Scer\GAL4repo or Scer\GAL4nrv2.PS do not exhibit any apparent neurodegeneration or a shorter lifespan compared to controls.

Co-expression of both Fer1HCHScer\UAS.cMa and Fer2LCHScer\UAS.cMa under the control of Scer\GAL4Act results in females with greater resistance to paraquat than wild-type controls (males show the same sensitivity to paraquat as controls).

Males co-expressing both Fer1HCHScer\UAS.cMa and Fer2LCHScer\UAS.cMa under the control of Scer\GAL4Act are at a developmental disadvantage compared to their control siblings, with this effect being most pronounced under iron-limiting conditions and with stronger overexpression of Fer1HCHScer\UAS.cMa and Fer2LCHScer\UAS.cMa.
