Figure 1. Non-cell autonomous regulation of
abts-1b expression in HSNs.(A) A representative image of an HSN at L3 larval stage, obtained from strain CX5974. The closed arrowhead indicates the cell body of an HSN and the open arrowhead indicates an elongating neurite from the cell body. Arrows indicate the axon of PLM neuron. White scale bar indicates 10 um.(B) Comparison of Pabts-1b::gfp expression in HSNs between wild-type and
deg-3(
u662) mutant worms at the adult stage. Error bars indicate SEM (n = 49, **p < 0.01, Mann-Whitney U test).(C) Pabts-1b::gfp expression in HSNs was analyzed in worms expressing PKC-1(gf) under the control of the
mec-7 promoter. Data from wild-type or
eor-1(
cs28) mutant worms are shown. Worms carrying the transgene (+Ex) and worms not carrying the transgene (Ex) were compared. Error bars indicate SEM (n = 22, **p < 0.01, Mann-Whitney U test).
