چکیده
The apical extracellular matrix plays a central role in epithelial tube morphogenesis. In the Drosophila tracheal system, Serpentine (Serp), a secreted chitin deacetylase expressed by the tracheal cells plays a key role in regulating tube length. Here, we show that the fly fat body, which is functionally equivalent to the mammalian liver, also contributes to tracheal morphogenesis. Serp was expressed by the fat body, and the secreted Serp was taken up by the tracheal cells and translocated to the lumen to functionally support normal tracheal development. This process was defective in rab9 and shrub/vps32 mutants and in wild-type embryos treated with a secretory pathway inhibitor, leading to an abundant accumulation of Serp in the fat body. We demonstrated that fat body-derived Serp reached the tracheal lumen after establishment of epithelial barrier function and was retained in the lumen in a chitin synthase-dependent manner. Our results thus reveal that the fat body, a mesodermal organ, actively contributes to tracheal development.

Antiviral Activity of Bay 41-4109 on Hepatitis B Virus in Humanized Alb-uPA/SCID Mice
Current treatments for HBV chronic carriers using interferon alpha or nucleoside analogues are not effective in all patients and may induce the emergence of HBV resistant strains. Bay 41-4109, a member of the heteroaryldihydropyrimidine family, inhibits HBV replication by destabilizing capsid assembly. The aim of this study was to determine the antiviral effect of Bay 41-4109 in a mouse model w...
متن کاملChandra detection of reflected X - ray emission from the type 2 QSO in IRAS 09104 + 4109
We present X-ray imaging spectroscopy of the extremely luminous infrared galaxy IRAS 09104+4109 (z = 0.442) obtained with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. With the arcsec resolution of Chandra, an unresolved source at the nucleus is separated from the surrounding cluster emission. A strong iron K line at 6.4 keV on a very hard continuum is detected from the nuclear source, rendering IRAS 09104+41...
متن کاملRosat Hri Observations of Iras P09104+4109: a Massive Cooling Ow
A ROSAT HRI image of the hyperluminous infrared galaxy IRAS P09104+4109 shows extended X-ray emission peaked around the central galaxy in a proole characteristic of a cooling ow. The inferred soft X-ray luminosity is comparable to that detected with ASCA. The ASCA spectrum is well t by a cooling ow spectrum, indicating a mass cooling rate of about 1000 M yr 1. The cooling ow dominates the total...
متن کاملInfluence of treatment schedule and viral challenge dose on the in vivo influenza virus-inhibitory effects of the orally administered neuraminidase inhibitor GS 4104.
Experiments were done to determine how an alteration of the treatment schedule of 5 or 32 mg/kg/day per os (p.o.) doses of GS 4104 [the ethyl ester prodrug of the neuraminidase inhibitor (3R, 4R,5S)-4-acetamido-5-amino-3-(1-ethylpropoxy)-1-cylohexene-1 -carboxylic acid (GS 4071)] would affect influenza A (H1N1) virus infection in mice. Treatments with a low dose, one, two, three or four times d...
