Fig. 5: Larval fat body is a sensitive tissue that leads to cell death by Nacα reduction.

From: Nacα protects the larval fat body from cell death by maintaining cellular proteostasis in Drosophila

Fig. 5

a, b Cell death in Nacα mutant tissues. Each tissue of the indicated genotypes was dissected from the late third instar and stained for cDcp1, F-actin, and DNA (a). Arrowheads indicate cDcp1-positive fat body cells. Arrows and dashed areas indicate the regions of the corpora allata. CNS, central nervous system. Quantification of the cDcp1 mean fluorescence intensity per tissue area (b). n = 8 (fat body, salivary glands, ring glands, wing discs, and eye discs) or 9 (CNS) tissues from multiple animals; one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post hoc test. Scale bars, 100 μm.
