Effect of Seven-up RNAi on wandering third instar larval fat body gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We compared Seven-up-dependent gene expression in the Drosophila fat body on control and high-sugar diets in order to gain insight into the role of this gene during caloric overload. Phenotypic analyses showed an increased severity of Seven-up RNAi phenotypes with increasing dietary sugar concentration. Because Seven-up is a transcription factor, we performed RNA-seq studies to identify transcriptional targets that might underlie insulin resistance downstream of Seven-up RNAi. Our data support a model where Seven-up promotes insulin signaling by inhibiting ecdysone receptor target gene expression.
