Abstract:Objective:To investigate the role of Gef26 in Drosophilia primary culture. Methods:Through primary culture of Drosophilia wide type,gef26 mutants and gef266/+;Abl4/+ mutants,the cell shape is observed,and by fluorescent staining of F-actin the distribution of cytoskeleton can be observed. Results:In Drosophila primary culture, wild type muscle cells have normal morphology, and the morphology of muscle cells of the gef26 mutants is obviously abnormal. The gef266/+;Abl4/+ mutants muscle cells have a normal morphology, namely the phenotype of gef26 mutant muscle cells with abnormal morphology rescued by Abelson tyrosine kinase(Abl) mutation. F-actin in wild type muscle cells showed a regular morphology and continuous arrangement, while that in the gef26 mutants muscle cells showed irregular morphology and discontinuous arrangement. Meanwhile, F-actin in gef266/+; Abl4/+ double mutant cells showed a regular morphology and continuous arrangement, that is, the phenotype of gef26 mutant with disordered F-actin arrangement rescued by Abl mutation. Conclusion:Gef26 regulates cell cytoskeleton organization through Abl signaling during muscle cells development.
