<i>fat-6</i> mRNA levels are induced through NHR-80 in <i>glp-1(e2141ts)</i> animals. GoudeauJérôme BelleminStéphanie Toselli-MollereauEsther ShamalnasabMehrnaz ChenYiqun AguilaniuHugo 2011 <p>(A) <i>fat-5</i> mRNA levels in wild type, <i>glp-1(e2141ts)</i>, <i>glp-1(e2141ts);nhr-80(tm1011)</i>, and <i>daf-16(mu86);glp-1(e2141ts)</i> mutants. (B, C, and D) Similar analyses were performed for <i>fat-6</i>, <i>fat-7</i>, and <i>K04A8.5</i>. <i>fat-5</i>, <i>fat-6</i>, and <i>K04A8.5</i> mRNA levels are up-regulated in <i>glp-1(e2141ts)</i> mutants compared to wild type (9.28-, 5.48-, and 7.25-fold, respectively; Wilcoxon rank-sum test <i>p</i> value <0.05 for all). In contrast, <i>fat-7</i> mRNA levels are decreased in <i>glp-1(e2141ts)</i> mutants (6.6-fold Wilcoxon rank-sum test <i>p</i> value <0.001). <i>fat-5</i> mRNA levels are reduced 7.28-fold in <i>daf-16(mu86);glp-1(e2141ts)</i> mutants and 1.7-fold in <i>glp-1(e2141ts);nhr-80(tm1011)</i> mutants compared to <i>glp-1(e2141ts)</i> mutants (Wilcoxon rank-sum test <i>p</i> value <0.05 for both). When compared to wild type levels, <i>fat-5</i> is induced 1.29-fold in <i>daf-16(mu86);glp-1(e2141ts)</i> mutants and 5.48-fold in <i>glp-1(e2141ts);nhr-80(tm1011)</i> double mutants (Wilcoxon rank-sum test <i>p</i> value <0.05 for both; error bars are standard deviation; *<i>p</i><0.1, **<i>p</i><0.05, ***<i>p</i><0.01, Wilcoxon rank-sum test). In contrast, <i>fat-6</i> mRNA levels are reduced 1.6-fold in a <i>daf-16(mu86);glp-1(e2141ts)</i> mutant and 4.9-fold in <i>glp-1(e2141ts);nhr-80(tm1011)</i> mutants compared to <i>glp-1(e2141ts)</i> mutants (Wilcoxon rank-sum test <i>p</i> value <0.05 and non-significant, respectively). When compared to wild type levels, <i>fat-6</i> is induced 2.9-fold in <i>daf-16(mu86);glp-1(e2141ts)</i> double mutants and 0.96-fold in <i>glp-1(e2141ts);nhr-80(tm1011)</i> double mutants (Wilcoxon rank-sum test <i>p</i> value <0.05 and non-significant, respectively; error bars are standard deviation; *<i>p</i><0.1, **<i>p</i><0.05, ***<i>p</i><0.01, Wilcoxon rank-sum test). Relative to <i>glp-1(e2141ts)</i> mutants, <i>K04A8.5</i> is decreased 6.4-fold in <i>daf-16(mu86);glp-1(e2141ts)</i> mutants (<i>p</i><0.01) and 1.4-fold in <i>glp-1(e2141ts);nhr-80(tm1011)</i> double mutants (Wilcoxon rank-sum test <i>p</i> value is non-significant). Finally, we found that <i>fat-7</i> mRNA levels are unchanged in <i>daf-16(mu86);glp-1(e2141ts)</i> and in <i>glp-1(e2141ts);nhr-80(tm1011)</i> mutants relative to <i>glp-1(e2141ts)</i> mutants (Wilcoxon rank-sum test <i>p</i> value is non-significant). Thus, the induction of <i>fat-5</i> and <i>K04A8.5</i> is DAF-16 dependant while that of <i>fat-6</i> depends on NHR-80 only.</p>
