PatternAt the pre-comma stage, at about 260 min of embryonic development, RNT-1::GFP expression began in the nuclei of the seam cells (H0-2, V1-6 and T cells). At the comma stage, at about 400 min, expression also appeared in the body wall muscle cells . At the L1 larval stage, RNT-1::GFP expression was observed in the seam cells, the body wall muscle cells, and occasionally in the intestinal cells. In the H, V, and T cell lineages, RNT-1::GFP expression was always observed in the seam (self-renewing) cells, but not in the hypodermal syncytial (differentiating) cells, from L1 to adult stages. In addition, RNT-1::GFP expression was observed in the descendants of the M blast cell from late L1 to adult stages. The expression began after two rounds of M cell division, and continued in the body wall muscle descendants.
RNT-1::GFP was strongly expressed in the T cells until just before the initiation of mitosis. The expression was diminished in prophase and not visible from metaphase to telophase of the T cell division. The expression was not detectable in either daughter of the T cells, T.a and T.p, but reappeared in the posterior daughters of the T.a cells, T.ap, several hours after the T.a cell division in late L1 stage. After this stage, RNT-1::GFP expression was exclusively observed in T.app and T.appa, but not in either of the other T.ap descendants or any T.p descendants.
RemarkRNT-1::GFP expression was not observed in T.a and T.p by anti-GFP antibody staining to enhance the GFP signal intensity, or by cultivating worms at 15 centigrades for accumulation and maturation of GFP in T.a and T.p.
