Figure 3. Regulation of
elt-3 GATA by
age-1. (A) GFP expression of
elt-3 in wild-type and
age-1(RNAi) animals at day 3 of adulthood. Images show expression in the head and trunk regions.
age-1(RNAi) results in increased
elt-3 GATA expression in the head and trunk hypodermal cells but not in intestinal-rectal valve cells and the tail hypodermis.(B) Quantification of levels of
elt-3::GFP expression from 20 worms in wild-type and
age-1(RNAi) mutants at five times during aging. Expression levels were determined in the head area of the worm by measuring pixel intensity from GFP images.Error bars represent the SEM pixel intensities.
