Expression of IcemiRNA.L.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4CCAP.PP suppresses the programmed cell death of CCAP neurons in the adult ventral nerve cord after eclosion.
Expression of IcemiRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Crz.504 blocks vCrz programmed cell death.
Co-expression of Dcp-1miRNA.Scer\UAS and IcemiRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Crz.504 blocks vCrz programmed cell death with all 16 vCrz neurons retained at 7 and 16 hours after puparium formation, compared to apoptosis of these neurons in wild-type controls.
