Visceral muscle degeneration by mst depletion occurs in an age-dependent manner. (A) Bright field images of the intestine of mef2  > + flies on each day for 5 days. Scale bar: 200 μm. (B) Confocal images of the intestine stained with phalloidin of mef2 > + flies on each day for 5 days. Scale bars: 200 μm. (C) Bright field images of the intestine of mef2 > mst RNAi flies on each day for 5 days. Scale bars: 200 μm. (D) Confocal images of the intestine stained with phalloidin of mef2 > mst RNAi flies on each day for 5 days. Scale bars: 200 μm. (E–G) Comparison of diameter of the intestine with indicated genotypes on 1, 3, 5 day. N = 4–9. ***p < 0.0001; *p < 0.05; n.s. not significant by unpaired t-test.
