Analysis of iPLA2-VIA Gene Expression in The CNS of Larvae and Adult Drosophila Melanogaster Flies
Moura, G.
Show abstract
1This study aimed to investigate the expression levels of the iPLA2-VIA gene (FlyBase: FBgn0035800) in the nervous tissue of Drosophila melanogaster (FlyBase: FBsp00000008) larvae and adults. The gene was identified using the FlyBase database and the HGNC database. The results of our experiments indicated that the expression levels of the gene were consistent between the larval and adult stages, with higher expression of Larvae than of Adult. We also found that the gene was expressed in the CNS, digestive system, fat body, salivary glands, ovaries, and accessory glands. Furthermore, PLA2G6 (Gene ID: 8398) knockout resulted in lethality, fertility problems, tissue formation defects, and neurological abnormalities, highlighting its essential biological roles in neural health and disease. Our findings could inform future studies focused on the genes involvement in neural development and its potential as a therapeutic target for neurodegenerative diseases.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
